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!

Oh, just -- magical energy, in general. I produce a lot of it, so...
[She's trying so hard not to think the phrase "sleigh beggy" right now, because Elias wouldn't want her discussing it openly in public. She has no idea if it's working, though.]
I'm new to all this too, though. The only thing close to this I've done was this one time I accidentally used a lake's surface to connect with Elias while we were apart.
[And ... also his wife .... but facebook status iT'S COMPLICATED]
There's not much to replicate, though...I was just thinking about him and when I touched the water, it suddenly took on the properties of a mirror.
I've been told magic can do just about anything, but there's no neighbors here -- ah, that's what fairies prefer to be called, that is -- so it'll be more difficult for me to do things on my own.
[Aside from spells, her options mostly involve runes and potions, and she's not all too great with the latter, though she's getting better at infusing magic into things at least -- like the tea she made for Philomela.]
You need the fey to do magic? Is this some sort of patronage system where you do favors for them in return for the ability to cast some spells?
Because I've heard of things like thay. [They're called Warlocks.] But you surely can do some magic on your own, right? I know a few spells in my own, even if they're not too impressive.
Pretty much, yeah, though for some of them just being around my magical energy is enough.
[#just sleigh beggy things]
There's a couple of things I've done on my own, and LILITH did let me keep my wand, but the neighbors were everywhere, you know? I'm not sure how effective anything will be if they're not even there, even if I'm not asking for their help directly.
I guess with your magical energy, you'd be the perfect owner of multiple magic items. Which is what I make. I guess it would mean you're better at making them work, or they're naturally attuned to you. We can take some time to figure it out.
Oh, a friend of mine back home does the same thing. It's definitely possible your items could be compatible with my magic too...I'd like to try, at least.
Perfect! I don't have anything on me at the moment except for my Rod. What if I built something for you, like an amulet? Or better yet, come over and let's test my spells.

What sort of power can you provide it? Is it something like an arcane core?
Hopefully, if one person starts playing a song, everyone will join in on it. I really can't say. I never ran into this problem before.

I'm no wizard, so I can't assume how it works. You can do other sorts of magic, right?
oh no i same icon'd...
