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!

What DON'T I want to build? I could make an automaton, or a new weapon, or design a magical piece of equipment for all of you. Really, anything you need, I can tinker it.
The robots here work differently from the ones I've built, but I'm a fast learner. Give me some books and a few months, and I'll be improving the existing fleet with magic.
[And create a replacement for Doty.]
But first, I need more supplies. You don't have any spare metal or armor that I can use?
Hey, that's the spirit. I'll be rooting for you—especially if this all leads to me getting a durable weapon or two.
(he knows what he's about)
In my civilian line of work, I'm hired by clients to retrieve stolen goods. I see a lot of items like what you're describing. If I come across something stolen that doesn't have an owner and it suits your purposes, I'll hand it over to you.
I got my Rod here, but it can be just about any weapon. But I've used just about any magical tool or weapon I've picked up on my travels. Bottles of acid and fire, too, but I make those myself. And Doty, I can't forget him. He's my automaton.
Of course. I'll look to you as an expert in combat and stay close when things get dangerous. In return, come to me if you need some assitance in battle. Im here to support everyone.

What size are you looking for?
More importantly, what is it you're trying to find in the first place?
no subject
If I'm going to save the world, I need supplies for my workshop.
no subject
(huh. something practical!)
Well, sorry, I don't know where you'd get something like that. But I can help you look if you'd like.
Are you building something?

You probably fit right in in this city.

How does that sound?
no subject
Oh, but I can infuse a temporary spell that you can use while we're out fighting. So if you need some help protecting yourself, seek me out.
no subject
(A DEAL HAS BEEN STRUCK)
Know of anything that can give someone a burst of energy when they've expended all of theirs?
no subject
I'll need to think about it. That sounds like something an amulet can do.
no subject
What do you have on you? You must use some of these for yourself, eh?
no subject
And LILITH only brought my rod.
I don't have my alchemy set, or my broom, or my helm, or my robe, or my ring, or my scrolls, or Doty, or my chime, or my boots, or my beads.
I either have to find something or rebuild everything.
no subject
I've got no idea what they offer here. Cybernetics, I guess, but a lot of that involves surgical procedures. Limb removal, too. Not your thing?
no subject
If they have any other equipment than a weapon, I'll have to take it.

What's your weapon of choice?
no subject
I got my Rod here, but it can be just about any weapon. But I've used just about any magical tool or weapon I've picked up on my travels.
Bottles of acid and fire, too, but I make those myself.
And Doty, I can't forget him. He's my automaton.
But I'd say my sword's the coolest.
no subject
I've never seen an automaton. Computerized things, sure, but never something that gets a name and human pronouns. Is he... sapient?
no subject
[It's rather ambiguous, according to everyone else.]
But I'm sure I can handle myself on the battlefield. It's better that Doty stays far from harm's way and giant monsters.
no subject
( slightly... unnerving... but if he's taryon's comrade, then he's worth looking out for. )
Well, I agree with that. Those who remain at home should stay at home. It's fewer people to keep an eye on.
But despite my saying that, if you ever run into trouble you can't handle, give me a shout.
no subject
no subject
I suspect I'll be coming to you more than you'll be coming to me. There's something about you spirited types.
no subject
[That never happened but Taryon does admit that he has a duty as one of the hottest guys in this base to inspire others.]
