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!

Yes, the Archons of our world are also the rulers of nations.

Hmm. Then I see why he would have significant influence... you feel that he could be doing a better job, though? Have you shared with him your thoughts?
[ the organizational structure sounds incredibly top heavy... would be a shame if it all came tumbling down one day! ]
i've stopped trying to give him advice a long time ago
he does what he feels is right, not what is right. he's soft and the people love him for that. he's a pushover. to him, the future is what's directly in front of him. not the steps past that.
It's a shame that the two of you are not on better terms. I know from experience, sometimes it is better to talk things out with family...
I must say, though, that I have to agree. A king should not be so easily compelled by others' opinions. I have seen even gentle leaders turn themselves cold and brutal in order to rule as they must.
whatever he sees on the horizon is a mirage. and even though he could never be cold or brutal, he should at least acknowledge the future as being something we should strive for.
either way. i forge my own path. even if i'm despised, appearing as being bitter or something like that.

i'm a prince. you got any where you're from?
no subject
A prince? They are more of a fairytale, as our country is led by our god, the Cryo Archon, not by a noble family.
Is your brother also a prince, then?
no subject
my brother is a prince as well.
and currently the acting king.

[ he is bitter tbh ]
no subject
Hmm. Well, it's good to stay true to yourself no matter what. Perhaps your brother will be willing to listen someday.
no subject
so i gotta ask. how well do you know your other neighbor?
no subject
Oh, do you mean "Wanderer"? [It's not a real name. :/] Not well. I am trying to change that, though. Why?
no subject
just curious
he's kinda funny. don't you agree?
[ funny in a not-actually-laughing kind of way. ]
no subject
He won't speak to me through this technology, so you likely know more than I do. I was blocked, haha.
What has he said to you?
no subject
isn't that pointless? you're next to him.
no subject
no subject
that's probably a message in his own way, huh
no subject
[Or maybe Childe is just delusional. Yet, still, this strange intuition...]
no subject
i bet one day he'll be clinging to you like his cats do to him
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
anyway if you need me to tell him stuff, you can let me know
i guess
no subject
[Really? Childe would've just told him anyway... he knows no boundaries...]
Very well. I appreciate the offer.
no subject
hearing something from two different people is a great way to make sure they get it.
[ alternatively, corner wanda-chan while t-posing. ez ]
no subject
I can't argue with that. Thanks.
