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!

( WHAT A SHITTY FUCKING THING TO SAY... HOLY SHIT.... thanks yuwon. being blissfully unaware is a blessing and a curse huh. he's not even going to address that last part... )
humans don't love anything that's different from them. even if dollars mimic what they look like, they're still different.
it doesn't matter. this conversation is useless. why do you even care if a doll looks sad? it's not yours.
[ message of the story: live and get fucked - yuwon kim, 2023.
though, in his defense, there really is nothing jk. ]
I assume people enjoy the fact they're different. It'd be weirder if they were perfectly like people. [ isn't that an actual fear... like animatronics? ]
But, I guess it doesn't and I don't necessarily. I just figured if you're making them, you may as well make them happy.
( this therapy session is a scam? just wait until the 1 star ratings come, yuwon... )
i guess i shouldn't have expected a different answer from a simpleton. ( not that it's yuwon's fault but.. you know. )
i'll consider it if the doll has any reason to smile. i'm not the one who dictates what it should feel. no one wants someone else to force their feelings on them. even dolls.

in a way it's refreshing. but damn, 1 star and his first review. his career was over before it even began. ]
Sure. If I see a happy doll post, I'll remember it's you.

don't bother. i'd rather if you kept me off your thoughts entirely.
no subject
I'll check in on you then. ^^
[ is he doing this just to be an ass at this point... maybe.
