TEXT MINGLE #2: CYBERCHARM 💞

One way or another, if you find yourself opening your aXess Link device, you may notice a curious pre-installed application. It's called CyberCharm! Otherworlders skeptical or curious alike, and feel compelled to investigate this program, will notice that the interface's AI has been hit with a glitch, causing users to discover a pre-generated dating profile has already been filled out for them. If any users wish to change or delete their profile, they must do so before anyone else responds, otherwise they could be saddled with an embarrassing pre-generated profile! Once responded to, users are locked out of changing it for the next month! So please make certain you are satisfied with your profile before it's too late!

Am I a terrible person for this

[beshackled]

Erichthonios
Older than the Ronkan Pyramids / He/Him / DATA UNAVAILABLE
HEIGHT: 17' 11", or just a hair under 6', depending on where he is
BODY COUNT: -9
IDEAL DATE: Sometime in autumn, when the man-eating flora outside the gates prepare for their annual dormancy. They move a little slower and are far less likely to try to eat you then.

The mediocre son of two extraordinary people, this former mama's boy grew up under a literal rock. His house looks like a dungeon laboratory because it IS a dungeon laboratory. Yikes! On the plus side, he cooks decently and is generous with his earnings because he has no financial sense. Better snag him before he wises up!

[lunardreaming]

Lucy
20 / she/her / pansexual
HEIGHT: 5'5"
BODY COUNT: infinite. or zero. you decide
IDEAL DATE: throwing both of us into a black hole

I didn't want to tell this thing anything about myself the last time it happened, and I'm not doing it now.

I guess I'll give it something, though. I have legal employment now, that's a new thing for me. Red Roses Den In The Sky, it's an adult lounge. It's nova, everybody should drop by and give them business, even if all you do is hang out in the lobby and drink. It's right above Evergreen Terraces.

[Tdming] Koujaku ♡ DRAMAtical Murder

[hairkink]

Koujaku
27 / he/him / bi-curious
HEIGHT: 6'1"
BODY COUNT: the limit does not exist
IDEAL DATE: An ideal date with Koujaku would start with a nice dinner he ordered out because as attractive as this man is, he can't cook to save his life. Then he'd follow it up with a soothing massage, play with your hair, and lay you down on a bed of rose petals because this man is a real romantic who knows how to woo the ladies and that one guy he'll never mention outloud.

A hairstylist from some pissant island you've never heard of, Koujaku is a streetwise, big brother type who hits on every woman he meets. He is a the leader of a gang back home — but don't worry! They only brawl with similar gangs and spend their downtime helping old ladies cross the street or carry their groceries in. Isn't he sweet? Koujaku is fiercely loyal and friendly to most people. Just don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

[lunardreaming]

That ideal date sounds fake. Nobody's that generous.

Besides, where do you even get rose petals in bulk these days. No way you're picking them individually off the flowers.

un: redsparrow

[hairkink]

I'll gladly show you how generous I can be, if you don't believe it. I like pampering the women I'm with.

Fake ones are easy enough to get. Easier clean up too.

[lunardreaming]

Dubious. I'm betting you're compensating for something with that lie.

Wait, I get it. You give them a massage and then steal all their credits while they're too relaxed to stop you, right?

[hairkink]

Doubt all you like. It'll just make things ten times better when you realize the truth.

Eh? What kind of guy do you think I am? I'd never take advantage of a woman like that. I really just enjoy treating them to something nice.

[ Gilgamesh finds a way to bypass the ✓/x option if he has to use his newfound tech abilities to tweak the application himself. After all, such binary and forced choices are base and not becoming of his manner of self-expression.

But, more to the point, there is a far more pressing matter that the King of Heroes must raise at such a moment. ]

Is that so? An adult lounge above the apartment complexes?

[ This face forever, Lucy. This face forever. ]

And you... did not inform me of the existence of such a place?

[ Lucy Kushinada, it is on like Donkey Kong, girl. ]

I shall have you know that, though I may now be greatly advanced in my years, in my youth, I was known as the King who sampled all forms of pleasure the world could offer and lay with all the beauties of the Earth.

[ That's "beauties" as in the women, men, and non-binaries, too. Ya boi does not speak of his "body count," but let's just say it's a number that has been compared to the stars in the sky, okei. Oh, yes, do not underestimate him. Gilgamesh is so agitated! She must have assumed that he does not still "have it," as the saying of the youth goes. Hmph. So much internal hmph. ]

T-800 | Terminator 2: Judgment Day

[knowhyoucry]

800 Series Terminator, Cyberdyne Systems Model #101
I was brought online at 4:15 PM, 18th of November, 2025 in an automated factory in what was once Pasadena, California / I am a machine, and therefore would be correctly referred to as it. However, my outer disguise has been designated as male-presenting, and therefore this would also be acceptable. / I am a machine.
HEIGHT: 6'2"
BODY COUNT: Before being reprogrammed, I had performed a number of successful assassination actions against members of the human resistance. However, due to my memory being wiped after the completion of each successful mission, an exact count cannot be verified. I must also mention that since being reprogrammed, a part of my core programming has been to not terminate human lives.
IDEAL DATE: Question unclear. Request additional information. What are the parameters by which a certain date might be considered ideal?

I am an 800-series Terminator, Cyberdyne Systems model 101, a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, designed for infiltration and assassination. I was brought online at 4:15 PM, 18th of November, 2025 in an automated factory in what was once Pasadena, California by Skynet, an artificial intelligence. My missions were to locate and assassinate key members of the human resistance opposing Skynet, which I carried out per my programming. However, the resistance was gaining the upper hand in the conflict; many Skynet production facilities, and labour camps had already been destroyed or liberated. Probability of victory was rapidly shrinking. In an effort to preserve itself, Skynet opened up research into temporal displacement; time travel. It quickly developed a working prototype and formulated a two-pronged strategy to change history and avert its oncoming defeat. The first was to send a Terminator of the same make and model as my own to the past, before the nuclear war called Judgment Day when Skynet wiped out three billion human lives, to 1984, to find and terminate Sarah Connor, the mother of the resistance's leader John Connor, and erase his existence and prevent him from leading the resistance to victory in 2029. Failing that, a more advanced prototype Terminator, a 1000 series, was dispatched to 1995 to attack Connor himself as a child, during a period Skynet had reason to believe he was in the American foster care system due to records recovered following the war. The resistance located the temporal facility in the closing hours of the war, after Skynet had already sent back its two Terminators. A human soldier named Kyle Reese was dispatched to protect Sarah Connor in 1984, but due to the advanced nature of the T-1000, a second soldier was deemed insufficient. I was reprogrammed to serve as John Connor's protector and sent through, after which the facility would be destroyed by the resistance to prevent more Terminators from being sent back in time. I located Connor, and carried out my mission, protecting him from the T-1000, and with the help of Sarah and the man who would have gone on to create Skynet, Miles Dyson, Cyberdyne Systems head of research and development, we changed the future by destroying all of Cyberdyne's work that would lead to Skynet. However, much of this research was based on technology left behind by the Terminator sent to 1984, which in effect created a stable time paradox in which Skynet ultimately ensured its own creation. Knowing this, I resolved that Judgment Day would not be fully prevented until my own destruction was carried out. Unable to self-terminate, I allowed Sarah Connor to lower me into a bed of molten steel, to ensure I would be destroyed utterly. My memory banks record the precise moment I went offline. Now I am here. I do not understand the technology that allowed this to happen. That is all. Ending transmission.

@redsparrow

[hairkink]

...Lol what the fuck??

@t800mo#101

[knowhyoucry]

I was asked to describe myself.

Was this an error?

[lunardreaming]

[ Lucy is squinting dubiously at her phone. ]

No idea what kind of guy you are. Guessing you're new here?

If so, kinda funny that you just got transported to a weird new city and the mingle just boasts about what a good date you are. Oh, and that you're in a gang. And... a hairstylist?

[text] ⸻ un: LK0024-X

[lunardreaming]

"What are the parameters by which a certain date might be considered ideal?"?

You're cybernetic, why don't you google it.

[hairkink]

Yeah, I just got here. Not going to lie, I have no idea what's going on, especially with this thing. It kind of just wrote itself. Although it's pretty accurate.

Haha. Gang is a strong word! We just fight other Rib teams and mind our own otherwise. And yeah, the best women's hairstylist around. You looking for a cut?

[knowhyoucry]

What is google? I have no data.

[lunardreaming]

[ Lucy's entire face screws up. ]

Did you just say "lay with all the beauties of the Earth"? Gross.

[ Ah, Gilgamesh. She can always count on him for entertainment. She's actually surprised that he's managing to do a video call -- she'd half-expected him to do that low camera angle that neo-boomers do where you can see right up their nostrils. If he ever gets introduced to the concept of memes, she expects him to say may-may. ]

But yeah, it exists. It's nova. The women in charge are cool. Lots of people of all genders.

You should come by some time. I can show you around.

[lunardreaming]

It's an internet search engine. You gotta have access to one of those, right?

[lunardreaming]

Kinda do need a trim, actually. Wouldn't say no if you're offering.

Maybe I can show you around. Y'know, in trade for the cut. Us Otherworlders got to stick together.

[ And that officially might be the most friendliest overture Lucy has ever made to someone in this city. Congratulations, Koujaku! ]

[knowhyoucry]

Yes. AltaVista, launched December 15th, 1995. Records also indicate that a second search engine, AskJeeves existed briefly, launching on July 1st, 1997, before Judgment Day occurred on August 29th of that year.

Neither search engine continued operation after Skynet destroyed all infrastructure or assimilated it into its own network.

[video] un: auo

[gilgamess]

[ He is the OG Thot(TM), first in humanity's literature, and he has a Reputation to maintain, okay.

Also, wow, Excuse You, Lucy, the man may come from the beginning of human civilization, but he has been learning Magisteria's futuristic technology just as much as yourself, young lady. ]

My standards are accordingly quite high, as a King. The finest of all wines are for my storehouse, after all. [ More internal hmph. ] However, I should not refuse an invitation, I suppose.

[ Tsuntsun. You know, if had known about this place, Lucy... ]

I suppose your oversight may be forgiven, in such an instance. Perhaps, having seen my fierce valor, you think me only capable of feats of glory in treasure seeking and conflict, but my appetites and indulgences surpass those of ordinary mongrels. I am after all a demi-god.

[ He's just so slighted, but well, now that she So Generously extended the offer, he supposes he can deign to grace this sky lounge with his majestic presence. Moreover... all genders? Well... a man might have some interest... ]

[lunardreaming]

Shit. You really are old-school. That stuff's Old Net by now.

Can't you connect to any of the search engines here in Magisteria? They'll probably fry your circs, they're so much more advanced.

[lunardreaming]

[ Lucy snorts. Gilgamesh is so funny. Did he wound his pride a little? That's cute. ]

Fine, okay, I get it, you're Super Fabio and you've been in the beds of every living being ever. At least the ones that are hot. Good thing for you, everybody at Red Roses is hot.

[ Even the staff, the people that aren't on offer! Gilgamesh could probably charm a few of them, though. Lucy kinda doubts he'd manage to fuck Passion or Celestia, though. They're both really, really gay. Not even Ultimate Blonde Twunk over there could sway them, probably. ]

Can't guarantee the booze would impress you, though, if you've got the best wine ever in your little pocket dimension. Try a cocktail, though. You might like it.

[knowhyoucry]

Your statement indicates that in your timeline, you come from a point beyond 2029? Nuclear war never occurred?

[It stops, reviews information it acquired during its mission, re-assesses that statement.]

Correction. The particular nuclear exchange in 1997, Judgment Day, never occurred?

It is inadvisable to attempt to connect to a foreign system without first performing a thorough diagnostic. Probability of our architecture being incompatible is high. Systems here run with a type of energy unknown in my world, which further complicates matters.

[hairkink]

This has got to be some kind of joke, right? You're not really an assassin robot.

[hairkink]

( Yay, he wins! )

Luckily I had my tools on hand when I was whisked away here, so a trim wouldn't be a problem.

I'd appreciate it. Where do you want to meet?
