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!

How lucky for us both that my participation in the coming battles will not require your belief.
（ his tone is dry — but it is a dryness like a desert burnt to glass. amusement is evident in dark eyes, and itachi only lifts his cup to kakashi as the man all but scrambles backwards out the door.
one day, perhaps, he will ask forgiveness. but for now he only says — ）
( unable to dignify the dismissal with a response, he lets the door slide shut, waiting until he's in his room—far from itachi—and never far enough—to close his eyes.
i'm in this situation again, he thinks. caught up in affairs everyone tells me aren't my business. the right thing to do clashes again against what he believes sasuke would want. how is he meant to reconcile that?
"if only" haunts him, but it's repeated like a mantra. if only the sandaime were alive to give him counsel. if only minato hadn't assigned him to the anbu. if only rin had trusted in him. if only obito hadn't pushed him out of the way. if only his father hadn't left him alone.
if only itachi had—
all lack blame because blame he assigns to himself.
if only he'd been wise enough to stop the sandaime's death. if only he'd been strong enough to stop minato's. if only he'd been perceptive enough to stop rin's. if only he'd been fast enough to stop obito's. if only he'd been old enough to stop his father's.

Shall I say, 'you're dismissed', Copy Ninja?
