Day 9 - The Dating Game

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

ICly, this game is played on your tablet, and can only be activated when you're alone in your dressing room. You can play vocally or text-based, but either way they come out on the other end as pure text and/or read by a computerized voice.

FIRST DAY (until 7:00PM PST tomorrow; an extra day since I got it up late):

ETA NAH LET'S EXTEND IT INTO THE NIGHT. Second half is just reveals anyway! I'll get it around noonish tomorrow.

🍔  Make a toplevel for your character, starting off with some kind of open-ended question. Your tablet provides some example questions, and you are free to steal one or invent your own.

🍔  Everyone else replies to the toplevel anonymously! Lying, kissing ass, or pretending to be someone else are allowed and frankly ENCOURAGED.

🍔  While there are no hard rules against any sort of questions, for the part of the questioner, trying to suss out identities goes against the principle of the thing and will be looked upon harshly by Ronald and the King. This is a dating game, so relax and try to find your perfect romantic match!

🍔  After someone replies, the questioner can ask up to three more questions to each anon. Anons, stay in your threads.

SECOND DAY (until 6:00PM PST Sunday)

🍔  I'll make a new thread, where everybody can announce which of their anons they would most want to date!

🍔  Winning anon, reveal yourself!

🍔  You don't actually have to go on a date (it will not count against you), but if you'd like to, a ~romantic, off-menu dinner~ will be provided

Yeah, I mean, I didn't do it... manually, there were computers and manufacturing facilities involved. It's not actually my specialty, but they always say necessity is the mother of invention.

Sure, it's the same with any product really, you come up with the idea or blueprint and a machine or assembly line throws it together. But you still had to figure it out. I'm guessing they have special functions, and not just ornamentation?

[partcompany]

Yup. The eye's an ECHOeye, it can scan people or objects and give me information on them. Though most of the functionality's out of operation here. The hand has a local database and a holo-display, I can use it to show images or video. Make calls, operate consoles, that sort of thing. All that functionality is pretty standard. really, I just improved the aesthetics and added a few extras.

[Look man it's the 80s, this is some Star Trek shit.]

That all sounds pretty useful, but being able to get information on things and people just by looking at them...

[That one's just, wow. At least with the hand it's something that can be likened to a computer, even if it's so much more advanced, but scanning people?? She wishes, her job could be so much easier.]

I've got to ask, does it give you anything on me?

[partcompany]

Nah... like I said, there's no ECHOnet connection here, so I can't actually get most of the information I usually could. Basic statistics, that's all.
