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!

It's a cliffhanger, one fans have been waiting to see resolved for some time. Will they get back together in the next book? Will they have different partners? Will Junko-san be happy?
I do, too. What if I die before finding out what happens, you know?
Overall, I'd like for them to be content. Whatever that means for them. Junko-san is the main character, and I find that doesn't value herself as much as she should. She hasn't recognized her true potential. So, I think that if she were to find happiness for herself, I wouldn't need anything else.
What do you think? Do you like fluffy or more dramatic endings?
I think I enjoy happy endings, whether it be fluffy or dramatic. Life doesn't have any, so finding them in films is better than nothing. Especially romantic ones.
Books are all about the suspension of disbelief and placing yourself in the world the author created. If an ending is sad, it ruins the fantasy. For me, anyway. Similarly to what you said, the world is sad enough.
if I want to be depressed, I can look out my window. or watch the news. or go to work. finding happiness is much harder. no, it's nearly impossible. and even then, happiness doesn't last. so you need to keep chasing it.

It's enjoyable to read multiple times. You can't say that about most books.

I hate cliffhangers. In movies, books, shows.
The lack of an ending feels... hollow.
What ending do you want for them?

( he only wishes there were fewer or less frequent lows. )
I suspect you and I have a similar mindset. In that case, I'll make copies of the book and you can have one to read. How does that sound?
