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 suppose there's no changing your mind there, but I'm getting the distinct impression as though you don't even account for the experiences of others. No woman I've known enjoys being treated like a slab of meat.
( A misogynist, Toji. He's calling you a misogynist. )
Oh please. Don't assume I haven't endured my share of the horrors of the world.

I just don't use my trauma as a justification for shitty treatment of others.

So what you're telling me is that you're content dying without knowing the delicate touch of a woman.
( Which is also fine. Women deserve better than whatever the fuck this guy has going on. )
no subject
sounds like you’re projecting
ive read enough in my life to want to not continue reading any further.. not everyone likes books and that’s fine

1/2
not only that, but you’ve fallen into the delusion of having a nice and happy family
so very sweet
i am sure you will wake up from that dream when the world inevitably strips you of that kind of happiness
or maybe you’ll be one of the gods favored ones and be blessed your whole life
2/2
but thanks also for the assumption
Good lord lmfao

[ ??? who said anything about using trauma to justify anything ... ]
is there a reason you decided to message me?
just wondering
i don't even know who you are
or anything about you
no subject
Nor do I know anything about you. However, I'm of the opinion misogynists ought to be shot in the street.
( So, that's friendlier. Friends 4 lyfe.)
no subject
are we done with this conversation then?
no subject
For now, I suppose. Or at least until you manage to offend me again.
( For Kiritsugu's part, this conversation has been the emotional equivalent of arguing with randos on Twitter dot com )
no subject
don't message me again
I just had to get this out of my system.
( P E T T Y. )
