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 was the first day he'd met Kakashi. Not in the traditional sense – they'd exchanged names before that and a few trite pieces of non-trivia. Sasuke had participated without the needed context for anyone to understand his perspective, and Kakashi had all but recused himself from sharing anything.
So their real meeting, the one that had mattered, was when fist had met fist and he had understood him just a little bit better. He saw the gap between them that felt insurmountable, and sensed – even if it wasn't conscious on his part – that Kakashi would protest his nature less than Naruto and Sakura would. Suddenly, unbidden, he feels a familiar sense of shame. ]
I don't remember.
What I do remember is that you'd pretend to read it all the time around the village. Apparently it was less of a prop than I thought it was.
Accurately enough that I know when a conversation has been discussed as much as it's worth. There's more in what you sent than just those poorly written excerpts.
Being transported to another world wasn't exactly on my to-do list. The whole thing was pretty surprising. Apart from that... Hmm, I'd say I have a healthy amount of skepticism about our circumstances.

You guys defeated yourselves that day... I had to preoccupy myself somehow.

("used," "wasn't," "produced."

I'm surprised you didn't wind up with a copy yourselves.

As if such a thing would be necessary when the plot is so predictable.

My, my... It looks like you still haven't gotten over that habit of underestimating everything.

I'm sure your thoughts will be broadcast eventually. Like what happened with our orientation profiles.

Though that isn't what happened today. You seem shaken by this place.

Was there something you wanted to ask me, Sasuke?

Not when you're employing grounding exercises I'm familiar with. I don't have a question, just an expectation that you'll remain level.
