welcome to punk night TOKYO!

live now: NEW FUTURE REVIVAL feat. CFMK-R-2

[observer-r-official]

// rin from the punk night tokyo set because i can.

reworking things as of 23/5/24 so idk. we'll see how that goes.

she goes by rin, but also responds to her serial code (CFMK-R-2). online she's known as observer R.

basically she's just a rogue (and very glitchy) ai made as a prototype by crypton (a massive tech company) then discarded because she was faulty. or so she claims. she doesn't really know.

she serves as an informant and hacker and knows too much about people.

sometimes when she speaks she malfunctions in a way that mimics stuttering. she's just like that.

she runs a sort of online chat service for the survivors she can get in contact with.

ic: observer live!

ooc: track unavailable

lore posts: testing phase (the first one is outdated because of the revamp but oh well)

same au as @intruder-r-official, @kusanagi-nene-official and @hellsaoyagi.

mod goes by they/them rin goes by she/it.

i also run @melodyflower-akito-official @starxchasers-an-official @tenshiinoclover and @kitty-amia-official so feel free to check those out!

[observer-r-official]

// close enough welcome back cyberpunk dead boy

[kitty-amia-official]

// it's lore time boys.

i’ll probably be posting these on my main but these are intended to be CRYPTON files made public (to an extent).

also this information is all subject to change i'm figuring this out as i go along.

yuki does get two because public information is updated sometimes and he was sighted again.

[observer-r-official]

gonna stop with the ooc tags. anyway if i start storing au concepts here that's because they'll get buried on my other blogs and i made a terrible decision (playlist for this au)

[observer-r-official]

// YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE ME CRY you're all being so lovely

[observer-r-official]

// oh right this blog is super weird with notifs

[observer-r-official]

// oh and thanks to @kotaromita for going along with all the insane shit i got up to on. several blogs actually. especially this one but also kitty amia and melflo akito.

i'd tag your main but i get anxious about this stuff. you really helped me expand my work when i was active here <3 i won't be overly nice but i genuinely appreciate all of it

to the mod of @kusanagi-nene-official and the guys who ran the rui, emu and toya blogs that sparked this blog (and the au i developed based on it) in the first place: i hope you know i have serious brainworms thanks to you lot. glad you let rin be part of this universe.

special mention to @undercove-r because i developed a few concepts based on our interactions :> namely the idea of rin meeting later models of herself (iirc). that was so interesting to write

i'd love to talk about this au more one day. there's a tiny chance i'll revive rin for a second or third time but i struggle to maintain rp blogs for long periods of time. which is why i keep abandoning them.

so on that note i guess you won't see much of everyone's favourite rogue ai going forwards (lol). i didn't meant to write an essay but this was the first rp blog i made that got frequent attention and part of me feels like this was necessary. hope to see you guys around ^^

[observer-r-official]

// speaking of prosekai aus my unit swap and my fantasy au are also still going! fantasy au never got a blog but it got a couple long posts on my alt

[observer-r-official]

Ah shit if the blogs dead wanna be mutuals? I had a lot of fun rping with you

// well it's not Dead dead but i can't see myself using it a whole lot anymore lol. au's still going though!! i add to it every now and then it's pretty fun

[observer-r-official]

// this blog might be dead but i can still yell about the alt right

[observer-r-official]

// hi i thought this set was coming in like june for some reason. was saving for white day mafuyu but 15 pulls later i have cpdb rui. this goes on the rin blog because this is themed around it etc etc

[kitty-amia-official]

// sup i'm alive

sorry for the inactivity. combination of college stuff and tumblr breaking on my phone. can't fix it yet :/

that being said i'm plotting something.

i'm not making an akito blog for this au (i might) but i do have a few ideas for him. i'm starting to like that guy and i don't know how to feel about it

[observer-r-official]

// on an unrelated note i might make a mizuki blog themed around this au.

[kotaromita]

>It's your account, y'know? If you want to do angst, do angst. If you want to avoid angst, pin that somewhere on your account and don't engage with it. We curate our own experiences. It's really unfortunate that one occasion where you tried to start a roleplay as Shoujo Rei Nene you got lashed out at so viciously for simply wanting to roleplay angst in an AU you made, but please don't let that deter you from ever trying again with other people. Write the kind of Nenes you want to write! And there are surely others here who are willing to engage with them, like me!

//couldn't have put it better myself

OOC: Yeppers! It really frustrates me when I see people, roleplay accounts or otherwise, trying to dictate how others roleplay on here. Just because you don't want to do angst doesn't mean you should rag on others who do want to. Just because you want to write your character as accurate to canon as possible doesn't mean you should bash people who lean heavily into headcanons.

If you want to avoid a certain type of roleplay, verbalize that somewhere easily visible, like your bio or pinned post. If you don't do that you have no right to be angry at someone for trying to interact with your account in-character. Yes, there are things that go too far (use common sense) but try to have empathy and acknowledge that if you don't have "do not interact with me if your headcanons/AU have anything to do with suicide/self harm/etc." there will always be a possibility someone will interact with you who writes about those themes.

When I first started this account I was rather determined to write Kotaro as canonically compliant as possible. I know everything there is to know about him in terms of canon information, after all!~ But the more time I spent here the more fun I had and the more opportunities there were to be creative. Why not have him and Ena (who is a nonbinary werewolf) be roommates? Why not make him genderfluid and have body image issues? Where is it written in canon saying I can't have these headcanons that make me and others feel seen and understood?

Establish your boundaries front and center when someone enters your account. Block people you don't want to interact with. Don't reply to threads that make you uncomfortable. Write your character the way you want to write your character and one by one the people who appreciate it will find you.

[undercove-r]

//I agree with this. I'd also say "Understand that people make mistakes". We're human, and it happens. Just say that you're uncomfortable and to interact with someone else

[kotaromita]

hey. you. you're the o-o-o-only one i haven't pissed off y-y-yet.

how's life? need a ha-a-a-and?

...figuratively?

@observer-r-official

Kotaro jumps, startling Takato, surprised at the sudden voice in his ear-piece. "What? What is it?" the younger brother asks.

Kotaro covers the side of the headphone where the microphone is to answer, "Someone tapped into my network—or called me with some auto-pick-up function. Stay quiet for a second." He stops talking and listens to Rin finish talking. He blows air out of his nose and half-smiles at the addition of figuratively. Evidently, this was someone who knew what he looked like, or at the very least knew the information of his recent status as an amputee.

"I'm persevering, as usual. Keeping myself scarce," he says before sighing. "Making do on supplies, although I haven't been in a position to pawn things off like usual."

His voice quickly loses its friendly tone when he adds, "So, are you an independent AI or are you trying to track down any escapees to dispose of?"

[observer-r-official]

that's for me to know and you t-t-to find out.

defini-i-itely willing to help though.

[kotaromita]

Takato furrows his eyebrows at his brother and Kotaro waves at him dismissively. Takato sighs and shrugs, leaving his older brother to his conversation.

"It's hard to consider your offer when we live in a world where that help might just be you trying to gain my trust to get information—but I digress," Kotaro says, exasperated. He feels like he's had to grow up so fast and give up all his trusts in both humans and AI just to stay afloat. "What sort of help can you give?"

[observer-r-official]

i can get you in to-o-o-ouch with people if i can find them. that's the big thing. i'm also a hacker and programmer and whatever.

take your p-p-pick.

[kotaromita]

Kotaro's eyes widen a bit before taking a shaky deep breath. He knew Toya was okay, and through Toya he knew Akito was still alive. But there were so many people he was unsure of. Were they living in the inner-city, begrudgingly living the existence that had been assigned to them or had they too escaped and were trying to make do while hoping someone smarter than them was making progress on infiltrating government networks? No, knowing them, they'd surely taken on a more proactive role than he had.

Before he can consider the repercussions he asks, "Shiraishi An. Is Shiraishi An safe?" He's sure that if An is okay then Kohane should be too.

[observer-r-official]

shiraishi an, huh?

i'll see what i can d-d-do.

[kotaromita]

Kotaro sighs out of his nose. Hopefully he wouldn't come to regret this request. "Ye-Yeah. Sounds good." He swallows anxiously. There was something about talking one-on-one with an AI in this situation, talking like he would with a human, that put him off. It probably wasn't right to discriminate, though. "Uh, thanks. Preemptively. Is...is there anything else you can tell me? Is the inner-city still the same?"

[observer-r-official]

not as much here as there used to b-b-be, but it’s not super different.

more dangerous, though.

[kotaromita]

Kotaro nods somberly. That sounded about right. It was unfortunate the violence he had become accustomed to drew closer and closer to ignorant innocent bystanders. It was necessary, though. How else was the rebellion meant to reach the core of the so called "SEKAI" keeping humankind in this position of inferiority?

"Figured. Is it dangerous...for you?" he asks warily.

[observer-r-official]

they won't find me.

but i'm also pretty good at not dying, so...

[kotaromita]

"Can you even die in the first place?"

[observer-r-official]

how about i don't find o-o-out, yeah?

[kotaromita]

hey. you. you're the o-o-o-only one i haven't pissed off y-y-yet.
