Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.
It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their new routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point of time will be plastered on the network, for all to read and react to. Daydreaming about ponies at work? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and it won’t be possible to delete.
"The system is updating … ... The system is updating … "
That’s the only explanation SYNTHIA will give when prodded or asked to take down a post. She’s not too helpful at this moment.
"Yeah, sorry. She gets temperamental like that sometimes. I can’t really do anything about your business being out there. But it’s pretty funny, right? Looks like you got hella wrecked last night. Good for you."
Welcome to our first Network Mingle! This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!
HOW TO PLAY: 1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts they’re having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your character’s voice. 2. Go around and respond to others! 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.
We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun!

Curry blocks, potatoes, carrots. Stock pot. Uncertain about the availability of protein if the best odds are "Contains at least 20% real meat!" as advertised.
Cat.
Avoid more than 15% total blood loss. Avoid loss of body parts. Regenerative output scaled back to 30% efficiency.
[ there's two kinds of people who would think am i able to die here?: the kind who wants to die and is prepared to die, or the kind who has already died; neither are mutually exclusive, either. wolfwood is the former, and he can't help but briefly wonder which one shou belongs to.
he's young, though. most of them are. and it's both something wolfwood understands and hates. but why address all that in a text meme when they can talk about other things like— ]
could try tofu as a substitute
[ which is something he only learned about here, go figure. ]

Their nine lives must've had a hand in their survival.
That, and those that continue to feed them on the side.

[ don't die, shou ]
un: ᴢᴇʀᴏ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ
No, I'd assume not. But if my abilities hadn't been tampered with upon arrival, I wouldn't have to consider it in the first place.
Were you also changed?

besides, that's exactly why they're that cheap. most people will be asleep and they won't lose so much money. better than to waste their leftovers.
