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!

I admire your straightforwardness in admitting so. It's been said that each heart has its own song, and others can answer back with their own. It may be that the songs of your hearts are harmonious, and to have one half missing is like a verse without a conclusion, or a melody without its harmony.
Would you like to tell me about them? I don't want to overstep if you'd rather not.
I'm uncertain if there's any kind of song in my heart. I've had mine destroyed many times, so it may not even be the same one each time it regenerates. I have... no way of knowing.
However, he's my partner. And the first person to look as me as though I wasn't a weapon.
I've heard that our physical hearts, human and puppy both, regenerate normally. Each and every one of our cells is eventually replaced with a new one, or so I've heard. It sounds like your species may speed this up.
However, don't mistake your physical heart for your soulful one. There is a song within you, as I've heard it. It's in how you speak, walk, react and live. This puppy believes you're a soothing presence, at least.
Though I've never been looked at as a weapon, I can say that I also find myself missing someone who viewed me as not just a source of entertainment, so I believe I understand your feelings to an extent.
