▶ 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.)

Probably not about a dog. Or too many dogs. Unless it creates a problem.

I think your argument was that it's fine so long as it's not illegal or if it is that no one knows about it.

[personal profile] kubricks 2023-12-22 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
It is a good one, but I don't think it works here.
agnitio: (pic#16869599)

[personal profile] agnitio 2023-12-27 12:04 am (UTC)(link)

kubricks: (Paths of Glory)

[personal profile] kubricks 2023-12-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
The foundation?
agnitio: (pic#16869308)

[personal profile] agnitio 2023-12-27 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
oh right
people don't know about that here

st pavlov foundation
they're people who care a lot about humans and mankind
so they gather up a lot of arcanists
those who have arcane abilities and generally thought of as monsters by humans
we're all educated or reeducated on how to be nice about humans
and protect them
and other stuff
research stuff
i don't get it
and i don't care to get it
i passed my tests and not deemed a threat to humans
so now i'm out and sent on missions
that sort of thing

make sense???

[personal profile] kubricks 2023-12-27 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It does.

We have something similar.


[Much smaller scale and for actual monsters more or less. But still, close enough for her to grasp the idea.]

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-02 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
do you????

so you also have arcanists? wait no, you don't
what do you have?
kubricks: (where exactly are we going... exactly?)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-03 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing by that name.

A few other things. Devils. Fiends.
agnitio: (Default)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-03 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
ooooooooooooo neat

kubricks: (wish we had one of them doomsday machine)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-03 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. And the ones who work with them find them equally strange.
agnitio: (pic#16869306)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-03 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
well i would like to say that i don't care

that's so unfortunate for the humans
i guess??
boohoo
or something..........
kubricks: (Napoleon)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-04 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Some of mine don't even bother pretending to care.
agnitio: (pic#16869584)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-04 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
OH
so i don't even have to pretend???

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-05 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't matter to me so long as they do their job.

So I'll hold you to the same standard.
agnitio: (Default)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-05 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
well great
i always do my job
unless there is gelato at stake
then i have to give up the job
kubricks: (Napoleon)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Then that should be used as a reward. Ensures you follow orders.
agnitio: (pic#16869601)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-06 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
ugh
giving them terrible ideas
or good ones
not sure
kubricks: (How I Learned to Stop Worrying)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-06 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Finding ways to motivate people was part of my job. I hope that'll be appreciated here.
agnitio: (pic#16869303)

[personal profile] agnitio 2024-01-07 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
who knows??
the foundation never really seemed to reward its people
just gave us more work
kubricks: (Paths of Glory)

[personal profile] kubricks 2024-01-07 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's unfortunate.
