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.)

Well, okay. But you have to honour the source material.

(how? by jacking off to it? idk..............)

You can read it, but I can't let you have the hard copy. I'll upload scans or something and send you the digital version. How's that?

[ froot stop.... you know he would... ]

as long as it's free, i don't care
what a good pal you are

can't believe someone is being nice to me


[ actually that's kind of sad.. ]

i don't have anything to offer in return

[ but like.. he wouldn't even if he did, so lmao.. ]

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-17 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
(it's like magazine pages sticking together)

You do have one thing you can offer.

Your real opinion. After you've read it, I'd like to hear what you have to say about it. A critical analysis. It's not too much to ask, I don't think.


(determined..........)

hah... you having trouble finding people with your particular reading interest?

[ Something about the way he reads this... sounds like he's desperate. ]
kawarimi: (pic#16846239)

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, in a way. The people I know either haven't read the book or aren't open about it.

It's not like I'd seek them out to discuss it either... Many of them are my coworkers.
okane: (( 46. ))

[personal profile] okane 2023-12-17 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
your coworkers are prudes who obviously lack refined taste

[ refined... taste ... ]

i'll let you know what i think
kawarimi: (pic#16846257)

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-17 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah

(his coworkers might agree with that assessment. it's certainly made gai blush now and then.)

You can expect the download sometime later then. Probably tonight. There's not much to do while we're waiting for these monster attacks.

wanna buy a drink for me anyway

[ what are we, kakashi-kun ]

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-23 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
( toji-kun this is so forward.....blushes....... )

I only had 5000 KRYPTOS the first time we spoke, and that didn't amount to much. Now I have even less. Blowing the rest on drinks for another man...

Yeah, I don't think so.

doesn’t hurt to ask
gaining my loyalty has its perks, you know
kawarimi: (pic#16885596)

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-27 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah? I guess it is good to know that your loyalty is cheaply bought.

To what perks are you referring? We might have different opinions on what's useful.

[ His clan expected nothing of him, a flaw in their family line without any cursed energy, but in exchange, he was given a sturdy body and opportunity to further train that body to that with exceeds normal human capacity. Arguably, he’s one of the strongest humans where he’s from. It’s all he’s known, though. Violence and abuse. No wonder he has no idea how to raise his son. ]

im a great fighter
incredibly fast
i said my body is special
i still don’t quite understand it
i can hear, see, small, taste and feel more than anyone ive ever known

i don’t know how to fight and work with others
im willing to try if my loyalty is earned

preferably by financial means


[ bruh ]

[personal profile] kawarimi 2023-12-31 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Wow.

I wouldn't recommend fighting alone but to each his own. If you've got a good grasp on your abilities and prefer to fly solo, maybe you'd be better off. One or several drinks won't change that fact.

But if you find a comrade and they're injured or dying, what do you plan to do? Ignore them?
okane: (( 101. ))

[personal profile] okane 2024-01-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
depends on the comrade
some of you all are insufferable, i've realized
kawarimi: (pic#16846239)

[personal profile] kawarimi 2024-01-06 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Does that mean they should be left to die?

What would you define as "insufferable"?
