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!

But all the fighting here's done in those simulation rooms. Surely that isn't enough for you either...unless you've been sparring against your fellow teammates?

["Duke".......]
Oh. It's you.
no subject
I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage though.
[ who tf is 'eleventh' ]
no subject
[He'll never get used to the implant auto-transcribing his laughter, especially since text doesn't do justice to The Mood.]
It's Tartaglia.
[hey remember when we made out at the holiday party]
no subject
also how could he forget their makeout sesh at the holiday party? ]
Mr. Tartaglia. You seem to be making quite a name for yourself already.
no subject
Am I? I suppose that can't be helped, given who I am. [a fucking gremlin...] And how are you settling in?
[why are we small talking now]
no subject
A lot better than the last time I was forcibly sent to a strange place beyond the reach of most others.
I don't have to worry about amassing Credit Coupons just to survive here, for one.
no subject
Hold on. You've been sent to a place like this before?
Do you mean... the Fortress?
[YOU'RE COMPARING PRISON TO THIS?]
no subject
Why not? Most people that get sent to either don't exactly want to be there. Not to mention, the quality of the food isn't that much different.
[ he's joking....or is he? ]
no subject
[Picky eater? Not him.]
Still, I would much rather be here than your prison. At least there is fighting to do in this place.

no subject
[AHEM.]
Well, but I was preoccupied at the time anyway... it's different here. And no, not yet. The few I've asked turned me down immediately.
Interested, then?
no subject
I'll pass. Unless you can find some other way to make it worth my while.
no subject
Some other way?
Are you asking... like before?
[YOU WANT TO MAKE OUT???]
no subject
I don't recall asking anything before.
[ technically he just kind of demanded it.......... ]
no subject
That's true. You went for it, then said I was the one who was intoxicated.
[🤨]
no subject
Are you feeling better now?
no subject
I'm feeling fine.
Which team were you assigned to?
no subject
Trying to figure out the pattern behind who got assigned where?
no subject
[and you're a good kisser :////]
no subject
[ beyond the kissing part ]
no subject
You make it a point not to reveal much about yourself. Or am I wrong?
If I do know anything, well... it's not exactly from inference. The Fatui have their own resources, you know.
no subject
[ But that's all in the past now. ]
But somehow I doubt the Fatui would have let you in if you didn't have your own keen sense of observation.
no subject
Maybe. But you and I haven't had a lot of opportunity to interact yet, have we? Unless you'd like to discuss last time.
[are we Going There]
no subject
What's there to discuss? It was an error on both of our parts.
no subject
Not the way you said it. You blamed it on me, remember?
