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!

There's an age-old prophecy claiming that the waters will rise and the city of Fontaine will be submerged until there's nothing left. Personally I find it hard to believe stories like that, but there's no denying things have gotten worse lately.
[ still, he's not dead like this person apparently is?? ]
You were dead before but then they brought you back to life here?
worse how? if it's just a city can't they move everyone everyone to a new place that's higher ground?
[And yep. Considering her last moments of consciousness before awakening here...]
i was definitely dead but somehow i'm alive here lost my eye and a chunk of my face too but it's fine here i don't understand how this place can have the technology to bring people here and bring them back to life but they can't serve a decent cafeteria meal even if their lives depended on it!!!
You'd think they could do a little better than what they're currently offering, huh? We might have to send a few complaints to management if the meal quality stays the way it is.
But I respect how well you seem to be dealing with everything that's happened. Most people don't keep such a level head in the wake of their own demise.
[ he really means it!! ]
And while I would love to simply move everyone out to higher ground, the whole city itself is surrounded by water. Unfortunately there's nowhere for us to go.
