▶ NETWORK MINGLE #1

▷ NETWORK MINGLE #1



▶ TFLN.

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!

(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

I don't know, I've seen a few people by the street markets thriving. There are pretty intricate shanties to squat in in some parts of the city.

Know what'd be nice? A corrugated metal roof. I think the rain would sound pretty cool falling on one of those, don't you?

What work are you expected to do?

[HOMELESS ASMR INDEED]

if you're talking about my civilian cover, i'm meant to be running a fashion blog
when i was given options that one sounded like the most fun so i went with that, but i wasn't thinking i would have to DO anything with it
since we're here helping out i thought they'd just give us plenty of money
their mission pay sucks

I wasn't going to say it, but... since you did... I agree. The stipend should be able to last us. LILITH might only have enough to sustain itself without our intervention.

Because despite all its flashiness, this city's true face is poverty. They must be lacking in resources. It's more obvious walking the streets.

It sounds like you've got your work cut out for you, though. This place's fashion is... Well, it's interesting, to say the least. I wouldn't know where to start.

i've taken a look around and this place looks like it's in real shit in a multitude of ways
it's not like i'm asking to be a millionaire or anything but i do think that if we need to be living here and helping them out then we shouldn't have to worry that we have enough to cover the things we want to do outside of that

whats your civilian job like?

Ah, the responsibility lies with them to support us. But they see us as assets in their war, not as individuals with different needs, which is a mindset I've encountered once or twice before.

You'll get used to it.

I'm in Theft Recovery, so hopefully that'll pay out. It involves the retrieval of stolen goods for clients. Step one is building up some kind of reputation to attract business.

yeah we kinda have higherups like that at home too
but since our sensei was there and he's strong he always told them where to shove it


[gojo-sensei come back... though it's going to be a little funny once she sees kakashi in person]

is that theft recovery as in sneaking in to steal things back?
or storming in to kick ass and take things back?

I handle things in the way the client prefers, but... right now? More the latter than the former.

( currently busting people's balls over stolen watches and necklaces )

Is your teacher effective? Have you learned a lot?
kanzashi: <user name=sonea> (pic#16825808)

[personal profile] kanzashi 2024-01-07 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
probably more effective that way
at least you can scare them into not doing it again

my teacher's a dumbass
and i think he likes annoying us on purpose
but i suppose i can say i'm thankful he seems to care more about us learning things while out on missions instead of sitting in a boring classroom with books all day

plus he's also the strongest there is, so i'll give him that

Wow, sounds like an amazing guy.

I'm sure you've picked up a few things from him, whatever that looks like. You think you can handle a bunch of monsters?

i don't know if he will ever show up here but if he does you will understand....

of course i can! the stuff in the simulations is no different to fighting cursed spirits back at home.

[personal profile] kawarimi 2024-01-24 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then. I'll be sure to rely on you. Don't let your sensei down.

There are a few people here who've told me they deal with cursed spirits. Are you all from the same place?
kanzashi: <user name=sonea> (pic#16825831)

[personal profile] kanzashi 2024-01-27 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
probably
my classmates itadori and fushiguro are here, as well as nanami-san who's one of the adults who works with our school
there's also the older fushiguro here too i guess but i don't really know him

do you have anyone here form your own world?
