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!

i'm not in the place to give anyone names. ( don't make this deeper than necessary, wanchan... ) i wouldn't know what to name them to begin with, anyways.
( ... five minutes of typing later...: )
as long as the cat doesn't start crying and being annoying, i don't mind coming to see it.
why would i want to do that? it'd be way more of a hassle, and they're not mine. i just house them.
( and feed them... and play with them... and sleep with them, but you get it )
if they've lived a portion of their lives without my help, they can continue doing it. i'm not going to spoil them to the point they'd be dependent on someone else to live. what's the point of living like that?

he's next door

CHILDE OR LEONA?
... have you named it yet?
:)
not yet
you name yours?
perhaps both...

no subject
[ and that's all that matters, wanchan. ]
it misses you but it also likes chewing on my ears
so honestly i don't know where i even stand with it but
no subject
... i do. the bright orange cat is hard to miss. ( one of them... but he does recognize all of them. )
don't whine. it's a small cat, i doubt its teeth hurts at all.
don't tell me you hate it now.
no subject
that's the natural order of things
how've yours been? do they snuggle up against you or what
no subject
no. ( yes )
they have each other's companies, why should i let them snuggle up to me? they'll get fur in my clothes.
no subject
[ wanchan's practically a furry anyway. ]
you could always give me another if they're causing you problems.
no subject
i'm not warm, and they can protect each other. what are their claws good for if they won't use it? i don't need to take care of weak animals.
( except he will... )
they're less annoying than they used to be, and i feel like they'd just crawl back to my room if i got rid of them anyways. it'd be pointless.
( aka he loves his cats, he doesn't wanna get rid of them anymore, thank you )
no subject
hm. i see.
[ despite the obvious contradictions in what he's saying... leona gets it. he really does. ]
then i'm glad they're getting used to how you work. but it also says how much they really want to be with you, doesn't it? that they'll adjust to you.
no subject
... i guess. i don't get it.
shouldn't animals sense this kind of thing? threats or whatever.
no subject
they're probably still too young
give them time and they'll know
[ oh yeah. they'll know for sure. ]
no subject
do you think i'm stupid? i know with time they'll just grow more attached to me. i don't want that.
no subject
then i guess we better be quick taking care of all of LILITH's problems
unless you think you can take the cats with you back home
no subject

no subject
that's surviving.
living is a little different
either way i'm sure you'll do whatever is best for you
hard to live any other way, right?
no subject
i'll do whatever i want nonetheless. ( whether it's good for him or not )
no subject
i'm sure you will
anyway. come over whenever
the kitten will be waiting
no subject
( wouldn't this convo be funnier if leona called himself kitten )
no subject
anyway leona will be waiting for wanda-chan (not really he will be sleeping and the cat will be happy cuddling in his hair) ]
