TEXT MINGLE #1: 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!

Guidelines:
1. Please fill out the provided code below! You may write it in the IC style of your character, or as the CyberCharm app would have provided for them. You may modify the code to your heart's content!
2. The app's system is a little confused, and isn't quite sure what body count means. Could it be how many people you've slept with, or does it mean how many people you've killed? Feel free to respond to this however you see fit.
3. Respond to other profiles with the ✖ / PASS! or 💖 / MATCH!
4. ???
5. PROFIT!
(Inspiration for this event has been taken from synflux)

[Was it worth it?

... That's what he was about to send to her before deleting the entire text. On one hand, he respects her dedication to her duty and keeping the souls of the dead safe. But on the other, it is worth sacrificing your own freedom for absolute power?

He knows what his answer to that is.

Last time he called her out, he obviously upset her... Maybe he shouldn't do that. Not here while texting her anyway.]

Then I hope you are able to enjoy your freedom in this place, however temporary it may seem. And learn about what the surface world may offer.

[starshepard]

Do I?

[ They don't see the kick coming and stumble back to the ground with a huff. They should have seen it coming with how scrappy he is but they don't seem disappointed, in fact, they laugh as they try to get back up before he can get on them. ]

[starshepard]

[ They take the slice and take a bite from it, humming as they chew. ]

Oh! It's much saltier. [ With that, they decide they like the sweetness of the pineapple balancing out the saltiness of the meat. ] I think the pineapple might make it better.

[starshepard]

How is it all gross?

[bodyoftheseus]

[ Okay, so he's never heard of Arasaka? Fine, V was willing to (internally) admit that he made a mistake. Besides, this guy clearly ]

No, they're a megacorp where I'm from. One of the largest in the world. The former CEO was often called "the Emperor" since Arasaka essentially rules Japan and the imperial family is a joke at best.

[giantanimal]

Damen
26 / He/Him / Yes

Akielon soldier with a mysterious past. Currently serving the Prince of Vere.

This profile has been AI generated

[choosetruth]

❤

Finally. Someone with a profile I can relate to.

Don't worry--I'm not interested romantically. You just seem like someone I can have a conversation with who won't try and flirt with me. So I won't have to eviscerate you, and we all win.

[thindarkduke]

Very tall isn't very specific. You another one going to be annoyed that the AI put who you were interested in as 'yes'?

[Rather nostalgic, his clothes look almost Roman. That was not Crowley's best hairstyle.]

[emet_sulk]

I see it didn't even try with yours.

Georgia Mason | Newsflesh Trilogy

[choosetruth]

Georgia Carolyn Mason
22 / She/Her / Not your business
HEIGHT: 5'3"
BODY COUNT: Also not your business
IDEAL DATE: You. Me. A recording device. You answer my questions on the record.

I'm a journalist. If you're looking for sex or romance, move along, I'm not your girl. If you're open to being interviewed, let's talk.

I forgot I was logged into this account so sure a moment of chaos

[thelifeofafaker]

Oh, I'd love to go on the record. News can really open up people's minds, don't you think?

[thindarkduke]

What exactly do you want to interview us about? I think there's only the... new arrivals accessible on this app. Hardly know much about the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

[giantanimal]

I haven't figured out how to convert the Akielon measuring system to the ones used here. But I do not often meet people taller than me.

I'm not sure what it was supposed to put, so I suppose yes is as good an answer as any. Does it mean preferences?

[It's hard being a guy from fake ancient Greece in a modernish world.]

[giantanimal]

From what I've seen, it could have been much worse.

[thindarkduke]

Suppose you've got to find a tape measure if you want to know how you measure up, then.

Pretty sure it means 'what sort of people you like to be with', yeah. It seems to have had a little trouble classifying many of us. I mean, look at mine.

[choosetruth]

Depends who's writing it. I do my best to arm people with the truth.

[choosetruth]

Surveying new arrivals is interesting in its own right. They may not know much about what's going on, but if there's any pattern to spot in who shows up, that's useful data. If there's no pattern, that's also useful data.

Besides, I mostly just needed it to not be the insipid drivel that had been auto generated. I may not get the local equivalent to a Pulitzer from the conversations generated here, but I won't get romantic overtures either. I can live with that.

[giantanimal]

[He considers asking what a tape measure is, but... well, it's obviously some sort of measuring device.]

I can't tell if this Ai is truly a fool, or simply amusing himself at our expense.

I suppose "yes" makes more sense than some of the other words I've seen. Do people simply attach a handful of syllables to the word "sexual" and expect to be understood?

[thelifeofafaker]

Oh, the truth is often the best weapon. So many inconvenient things people don't wish to have remembered.

[thindarkduke]

Main pattern I've noticed is a lot of us have lifespans significantly beyond human. Just from who I've talked to, Alucard, Emet-Selch, Ereshkigal, possibly that bugger claiming to be Gilgamesh, and myself. But that could always be confirmation bias, I've hardly talked to everyone here.

[thindarkduke]

Probably both, really. Artificial intelligence is often quite bad at responding to things outside of its usual remit, from what I've gathered, though there are certainly much greater strides in it here than back home. It could just be doing it badly because it's funny. I mean, did you see that Ratio bloke's? Awful. He's not as insufferable to talk to as it looks.

Not just random syllables--there's a whole system for it. Codified, as it were. [Might as well explain the basics--Mr. Toga seems a bit out of his depth.] Heterosexual for men interested only in women and vice versa, homosexual for men interested only in men or women interested only in women, bisexual for people interested in both or more, asexual for interested in none, and there's a lot more I haven't bothered to keep up with because human sexualities aren't particularly relevant to my day-to-day life unless someone's attempting to knock me through a window for looking like a nancy.

sorry not sorry; too bad i'm not playing my media here lmfao

[bodyoftheseus]

You a pig or a media?</span

[giantanimal]

[Damen is SO out of his depth. This is sort of helpful and sort of just raising even more questions.]

Why not simply say that you are interested in women, or men, or both, or neither? This is worse than the Veretians.

[choosetruth]

What part of "I'm a journalist" makes me sound like a cop?

I'd link you to my blog so you could see my credentials, but unfortunately, I seem to have left it in another universe.

[thindarkduke]

Presumably because heterosexuality is "normal" and societally acceptable in the places that coined the words, and the other things aren't? Categorized so that they can be criminalized or what have you. And then so they could find each other, probably. My-- friend always had more to do with those communities than I did, I don't know the details. I don't even have a gender or sex unless I want to, so I'm a bit the wrong person to ask.
