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!

[ This one he can't let pass. He just can't. Of all the things he would run away from, this is something Nanami just cannot forgive. ]
You have an opportunity. A second chance. I don't care what you did or what your reasons were. Those have already past.
[ Of course society is cruel and unfair. He sees it all as the same. ]
Don't let him carry the blame for those reasons. That wasn't the life you wanted for him.
[ Right? It couldn't have been, or else Megumi wouldn't have stayed with Gojo. This guy has a terrible attitude, but he must care about what happens. ]
[ How dare this guy. It’s obvious he knows Megumi— probably more than Toji does, but he’s offended Nanami is butting into such a private situation between them. Toji is rather cool headed, but something about all of this is getting under his skin in a way he can’t comprehend because he doesn’t quite understand the myriad of emotions running through him — there’s some regret, jealousy, self hatred. He’s emotionally stunted, though. He’s never been good at navigating feelings. ]
i don’t care who you are or what you know
my relationship with megumi has nothing to do with you not now, not in the past, not in the future
so fuck off
[ His wife, on her dying bed, told him to take care of Megumi. He didn’t, not in the kind of way she would have wanted. Nanami is right. It isn’t the life he wanted for him, but he didn’t know what to do. It seemed to make sense at the time. Although he has closed off his emotions and even his memories in regards to Megumi, he does know Nanami is right.
And if he does have a second chance, maybe he will take it. But it’s not like it’s something he would ever tell someone, especially a near stranger.
Nanami can message him back, and the message will go through but never be read.

That’s because he blocked him. ]
