EMBER - A Social App for Lost Souls! [May Substory]

[enterthe]

⬦ ⬦ ⬦
A new Application icon has appeared on the home screen of your character's device! It pops open on it's own, welcoming the user and telling them that all Lost Souls need to join!

It doesn't specify by whose order, or if it actually is mandatory, but why think too hard about it? A lengthy and extremely technically worded Terms of Service appears, but why scroll up to read all that? There's a large ACCEPT button front and center! (There doesn't seem to be a Decline button. Closing out of the App is the only way to not agree... Might want to just delete the App to be safe)

Accepting moves users forward to App Permissions! A Helpful Window says "Accept All and your profile will be auto-generated for you! Great for speeding set up along! (Recommended)". If that doesn't sway, then each Permission question can be prompted individually. The subsequent windows ask for a variety of totally standard and absolutely above board access prompts. Location Data, Photo/Video Access, etc etc etc- Yes or No! REMINDER: The app will function better if all access is granted!

It doesn't seem to matter what is pressed- all, some, or nothing- the App moves forward for users regardless.
Have fun connecting with your fellow Lost Souls!

EXAMPLE PROFILE

YDRIS (Immortal) SUTOKU ALLIANCE

✓       ✕ FUCK | FIGHT

SWIPE

Swipe Left or Right, accepting the green or red... proposals? Is that what they are? The App immediately starts a Live Chat between the two parties, complete with recommendations for either highly rated Love Hotels or... discreet alleyways with nearby emergency clinics. (These might get presented to the wrong matches from time to time, coding is hard).

ALGORITHM
Stalling on the profile for more than a few seconds results in a loading graphic of a little dancing fire. **Calculating!** it says;

Ding! The In App Algorithm has decided for you! How convenient. The person whose profile was being looked at automatically gets sent a FUCK ✓ or FIGHT ✕, complete with that same live chat initiation mentioned above.

Rarely, there's a third option, essentially an algorithm fail state called CHILL, which still initiates the live chat. That means the system didn't find either of the other two options appropriate. Bummer. It generates completely random suggestions on where to meet, doesn't the DMV sounds like a great place to hang?

PROFILE QUESTIONS - MAY
While exploring the App, it will randomly prompt for answers to Profile Questions! Users can choose to chat about these instead of using the Swipe or Algorithm features. Answering questions gains little tokens. Wondering what those can be used for? Good question, because it's not an implemented feature just yet. Who doesn't like to see numbers go up, though? Collect them dragon-coins, maybe they'll be worth something one day.

WOULD YOU RATHER-?

-Be sober your entire life OR be drunk at every important meeting?

-Relive your most embarrassing memories every night OR do something embarrassing everyday, then immediately forget it forever?

-Leave your assigned faction or take over your current faction as leader?

-EMBER is a separate app on a character's phone which functions using the main network.
-This is fully canon to the game! Threads on this post or using the prompts above for Log Posts of your own both count as a SUBSTORY thread. Per mods, these can be used for rewards!
-Post a profile below, include IC answers to the Profile Questions, and/or tag around to other characters using the SWIPE and ALGORITHM prompts! Blame as much as you like on Ydris' at times shoddy programing! Have fun!
-Feel free to repost the Profile HTML provided for IC inboxes if you like, but please do not take these out of this post and make individual EMBER profiles on the Network, as that would clutter up the main network very fast.
-Check out Ydris' OPT-IN if you want them to have access to your character's information through this app. This is NOT required to play around with this. The ToS basically just applies normal network rules to this post, messages are public unless explicitly marked [private] in the header. (Ydris will not have access to Private Messages unless the player Opts-In!)

WOULD YOU RATHER?
[-Be sober your entire life OR be drunk at every important meeting?]

It's just a few meetings, right?
Stuff like that comes and goes in life, but what fun is there when you know you can no longer imbibe in simple pleasures for the rest of your life?
There will be more jobs and meetings.

But if I had to risk a drunk meeting after a good time?
The risk is worth it.

[-Relive your most embarrassing memories every night OR do something embarrassing every day, then immediately forget it forever?]

Bold of you to assume that I don't make an embarrassment of myself daily.

All jokes aside, though, I'm okay with looking a little ridiculous, whether or not I remember it.
Isn't it impossible to live life without embarrassment at all?
Little dumb moments on the daily are fine.
Much better than reliving one of the worst blunders over and over.

[-Leave your assigned faction or take over your current faction as a leader?]

Leaving.
Look, I like Shuten and all.
Boss-man is a cooler guy than you'd think.
But I'm not the leadership type.
And really, I wouldn't be able to deal with the type of stress and bullshit he probably goes through.
I suppose in that regard, I'm much more of a lone wolf when it comes to getting my hands dirty~ ♥

✓

I guess

[pervy_kappa]

Wow! What do you mean "you guess"!?

[Don't treat him like he's some passing thought!!!]

more like some passing thot

[sharpestsword]

You got a green mark.

What more do you want?

MORE LIKE TOO THOT FOR YOU TO HANDLE!!!

[pervy_kappa]

I don't know.
Maybe to not making it sound like sex with me is as fun as a work obligation would help.

>:0

[sharpestsword]

It was a compliment.

Or would you prefer to fight me again?

<3

[pervy_kappa]

... Has anyone ever told you that you need to get better with your online tone?
You make every sentance sound so emotionless that everything you type just sounds critical.

I mean.
Not that I would mind fighting you again.
Especially not since you seemed to enjoy it so much last time~

[sharpestsword]

No one's said it to my face.

Maybe I will.

[pervy_kappa]

Ahh? Is it on then?

Who knows, maybe you'll stand a chance against me, Ms.Cop~ ♥

[sharpestsword]

You might be surprised.

[pervy_kappa]

Surprised, eh?

Well then.

I look forward to it. ♥


We have a lovely fighting arena in Shuten territory for organized shit.

What do say we try it out?

[sharpestsword]

I look forward to putting you on your back this time.

[pervy_kappa]

Now that is something I would like to see.
I promise I won't purposefully play weak so that you can pin me down like last time.

[starshepard]

✓ sure, why not?

[pervy_kappa]

[Oh! Someone new!]

Well that's mighty dang flattering of you.

Gotta say. You're profile ain't too bad to look at either. ;)

How are things faring over there in fox-territory?

[starshepard]

i would be opposed to a spar either
but youve a pretty face

thank you

fairing quite well i should say
what about over there?

[pervy_kappa]

I mean, from what I've been gauging off of many people on this app, 'both' seems to be a pretty viable option.

[Why isn't there a both option on this dumb app? That seems like a massive oversight on the developer's part, in his opinion.]

Eh. We're doing all right. Some of us are more gung-ho about this whole underground fight than others.

Frankly, I think it's funny.

[starshepard]

true
i certainly enjoy both

its certainly been an interesting thing to witness
it reminds me of certain creations out in the wild fighting over territory or a female they wish to breed with

[pervy_kappa]

Pffftahah!
Seriously? You're just going to start comparing the whole situation to how animals behave, huh?

[Well, she wasn't wrong.]

I guess when you think about it. We are all just animals, no matter how much better we'd all like to think we are.
Behavior like this is just universal, maybe.

[starshepard]

im an observer by nature so im simply calling it as i see it

is that how it is where you're from?
back home no one would have such a thought
not when we are the ones that created all other creatures
but i do suppose we do all have similar needs

[pervy_kappa]

Wait.
You 'created' the creatures in your world?
Are you saying your race of people was the only thing that existed at first?

[Learning about how life works in other worlds is slowly becoming a curious hobby of his, it seems.]

[starshepard]

i cant give you the exact details of how things started but its something like that

[pervy_kappa]

Huh.
That's a new one.

So what is it that your people are called then? I take it it ain't anything like human or youkai?

[Ah. You actually managed to hit upon a a secret curiosity of his Azem.]

[starshepard]

we simply refers to ourselves as mankind
or humanity i suppose

we tend to be a little more specific depending on where a person is from
i for example would be considered an amaurotine as i hail from amaurot

[pervy_kappa]

So humans, huh?

[Well, that made sense. With the majority of who he had asked, humans seemed to be the most common species between worlds. But to think the humanity where she's from created everything else in a way. How interesting.]

Know a lot about humans. Don't know a lot about any place called Amaurot though. What's it like?
