▶ TFLN.
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.
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!

While I have you here and you vaguely sound like a lawyer, do you know what the drinking age is?
( something's gotta give, man )
no subject
[ why don't they just vibrate the bones in my ear instead of making he look at all this GARBAGE ]
Where I'm from the drinking age in Japan is 20. Or maybe I should say "when" I'm from. This time and place is as new to me as it is to you.
Did you just show up?
no subject
Sweet, don't tell me then. I'm actually trying to learn as little as possible today. It's how I'm choosing to cope. Was my being new that obvious??
20's close enough though, thanks lol. Maybe the future finally realized we'd all drink underage anyway. If I can find and afford a bevvie, I'll think of you, random guy. What's your go-to?
no subject
You tell me that and I'll tell you exactly what brand of motor oil to avoid.
no subject
I'm ready for the trenches, Sarge.
no subject
VR training, huh. It can show you the basics, but that's nothing like what it'll feel like facing a real opponent.
Anyway, if you want to ease into it go for something like rum. You won't be stuck pretending to like it, and it's an easy base to mix with a lot of other liquids.
no subject
( wanted an oculus rift... couldn't afford one... )
omg you are trying so hard to give me the benefit of the doubt, but I promise you I have zero training whatsoever. Like I was literally hunched over a keyboard trying to click on imaginary enemies.
I'm intensely average in every single way.
And rum was my first drink, which just proves it. Like a spiced rum and coke lol. I didn't like beer at first, so I did the mixed thing.
You drink under the whiskey umbrella, don't you? Ask me how I know.
no subject
One for wearing, one for washing.

Then you know it's not a cheap fish to source, and an even more laborious task to prepare it properly.
It's also what they were serving in the mess hall. You read me? Equipping their soldiers should be a higher priority.
no subject
Forget that they brought civilians in to do the work of soldiers, they expect us to do a job for them and don't supply us with what we need to complete that job. We've got to source our own gear using spare change and brownie points.
Morale's low. We're threatened to participate. There's no clear direction as Commander Shiro never shows his face.
Yeah, I'd say we're in for it.
no subject
Instead they want to buy people with fish.
[ ridiculous ]
Are you cooperating?
no subject
( the temporary phrasing of his response is telling. )
I'd be damning my teammates and an already at-risk population if I didn't.
Familiar with the battlefield?

There's an auto-translate function on the implant.
( no opportunity to gatekeep will be wasted )
no subject
You ever used an auto-translator before? Just curious.
no subject
This one's been useful with our exposure to other worlds.

no subject
But I take your point. It's a difficult language to learn, however. Have you studied anything similar?
no subject
You know any Tamil?
no subject
As for the Tamil, I don't know it. But I'm from an alternate Earth.
What country were you taken from?
no subject
When you walk by billboard ads in the street, some can detect unrestricted implant searches. It's the only heads-up I can give you.

An older woman with some experience under her belt. I could tell you what it stands for, but I wouldn't want to shock your sensibilities too bad on day one.
no subject
oh. )
Hmm... More the latter than the former.
( confirmed milf enjoyer )
But I wouldn't worry about shocking me. I'd worry about shocking the general public. The technology's too advanced for its own good. It's started firing back.
no subject
What's that supposed to mean? You got holograms coming onto you? [ that sounds GREAT ]
Look lemme give you a hint, the m stands for "mother".
no subject
"mother" is more than enough of a clue to use in deciphering the rest. kakashi wonders if he should consider any of this shameful, then decides "no." )
I got it, thanks. I didn't know they made up acronyms for that kind of thing...
To answer your question, that's exactly what it's supposed to mean. It's a tactic they use to hock their products, especially in the lower-income parts of the city. If you're curious, there's a projection near Odd One Out, the curiosities shop.
Just don't say I didn't warn you. Seriously.
