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!

At the current high demand of edible food and the collapsed economic state of this world, we're probably going to starve. The company provided amenities barely accounted for clothing. The resources spent on bringing new bodies in must be staggering, but keeping them active is comparable to a miserable corporate setting.
We can't even confirm the mission salary will be worth it. Kugisaki-san, ration while you can.
[Damn.. she should probably stop buying facemasks and candy then huh...]
i get it that i had nothing better going on at home but i think i'm starting to feel sorry for the rest of you who have to be here too one thing i'll say about our school is that they give us a fairly nice stipend and we don't have to worry about other expenses we didn't need to worry about doing missions and then working on the side...
nanami-san are you going to get a job here fushiguro and itadori applied for ones already...
but the things i want to buy are so expensive here...
[oh well. she will just have to make do...]
they said we can go to school here if we want to but what's the point it's boring, and learning algebra or chemistry won't help me in a fight plus gojo-sensei never really cared if we paid attention to that stuff anyway
[those student academic scores are something else...]
You should try to improve your knowledge base in any situation. Knowledge of the world can prove useful in combat, and more importantly, can give you opportunities beyond that.
You can't rely on raw power like Gojo. Just because he has the luxury of ignoring what anyone else says, doesn't mean the same rule applies to you.
i know i'll never be anywhere near the level of gojo
[trust her.. she knows..]
but i don't want to waste my second life doing things i hate i'll study the things that are important for combat there's no way i'm going to let myself fall behind!
[oh.. okay. she still doesn't want to do classwork though..]
but nanami-sensei? you will likely have many other things to do here which are more important than our academics plus they aren't going to pay you for it can't we just take a test and if we pass it theres no need for school?
You don't have to concern yourself with my schedule or payment. While you are here, you should still experience lessons as a student. If there are no other options, then I'll take care of it.
[she understands what he's trying to say, but still....]
nanami-san what's the point in it though, if it isn't going to help me with missions here? it's not like i will ever go home or get the chance to go to college, or study abroad, or anything like that where a proper education is going to matter even though the days pass by, will i even age here? will i be stuck at 16 forever?
But you can't only focus on the missions. A proper education is more than just studying academic subjects. There are facts that you still have to learn, and you should learn them with the right setting.
I won't force you. I just don't want you to learn those things on the field.

are you going to get a job here
fushiguro and itadori applied for ones already...

That doesn't seem necessary.
Our purpose is merely to follow directives.
Additional work would be tedious and possibly interfere with our true objectives.

You don't know what information will be valuable in a battle, and if you avoid everything you'll never know.
We can't only do the things we want to do.

If you have the chance, you should learn as much as possible now.

okay
well like i said before i'll do it if fushiguro and itadori come too
since we're a team we should learn together right?

you don't have to call me kugisaki-san either, just kugisaki is fine with me

But I suppose since we are lacking options that I can temporarily be a substitute.

when you talked about us taking classes i thought you meant that you were going to teach them
that's why i agreed to it
[because you're strong, and smart, and cool nanami-senseiiii]
