npc || amun [ @ hierarchy ]

[nightnpcs]

( ping ping ping. or, y'know, whatever your phone chime is. the face of a man who looks like he's never smiled once in his entire life appears on your screen. you may have seen him before, while you were busy surviving a storm or battling reapers. no matter. you might as well bask in his impromptu company now, because his appearances are few, and his indulgences even fewer. )

Allow me to make this clear. For those of you who wonder still: I am the Hierarchy. You do not come to us; we summon, invite, and hire. Order is of the utmost importance if you wish to survive, and time is of the essence. Do not waste mine.

( behind him, movement. if you squint, you may notice strands of greying hair near the door, though the person it belongs to remains off-screen. )

Your personal troubles are your own. If you expected us to hold your hand, do think again; there are far greater affairs to attend to, so do yourselves a favor, and look for soulmates. We've prepared an application for you, easily accessible from your device's home page. Should you need additional information, perhaps it's time for you to practice self-reliance.

I will not be answering questions.

( and the feed cuts, abruptly, without greetings or a name. )

ooc note

► Amun will not be responding, though you're absolutely welcome to react, comment and discuss amongst yourselves on this post! Other NPCs might show up!
► This is, more or less, Tinder for Soulmates o/ You'll find the permanent post (aka phone application) right HERE! If you're interested, simply fill out the form and comment on the post, and bam. Browse, swipe left or swipe right, and have fun! This is not mandatory.
► Forms and replies should be posted ICly (yes, even if it's located in the OOC comm -- you may choose one (1) thread for october's AC) .
► Another character may post in your character's stead. Additionally, feel free to have their Shadow influence their blurb!
► The application offers all the information your character needs to know! To recap: All that's required for another Restless to become your Soulmate is for them to enter your home, touch your Tethers upon invitation, and from then on, a piece of their soul will merge with yours, fortifying your Self. As a literal extension of your being, they'll easily gain access to your thoughts if you let them (or if you're careless), they'll experience your pains, fears, and joys on weaker levels, and their voice, touch and overall vicinity can become great soothing weapons against your Shadow. However. If two characters already share a powerful bond and one incidentally touches the other's Tethers, it's an accidental done deal. You may thank Naruto's player for this.
► You may have multiple Soulmates!
► If you have questions regarding the app, redirect them here!

I've heard stranger. What's yours, though?

[janescayre]

THERE'S NOTHING TO TELL BECAUSE I'M NOT A PERVERT

JUST GO AWAY!!!

[narikei]

Shogi is my favorite board game. My name is Shikamaru Nara. What's yours?

[narikei]

Which was?

I'M HOWLING

[nightnpcs]

I hope you find what you're looking for 😊

[craters]

Maybe not.

But it says more about the sort of person I am if I don't help them than the reverse.

（ you can hate an enemy, and still not want to see them suffer. she'd kill orochimaru without a second thought, but she wouldn't enjoy him being tortured and interrogated by ibiki-san, either. ）

I'M CRYING WHAT A MESS

[janescayre]

DON'T USE SUCH SMUG EMOJIS ON ME!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN!!

[GOD how do you BLOCK PEOPLE ON THIS THING????]

Re: un: henruit

[pissoffbook]

What? You got a problem? If they're gonna give us that kinda shitty welcome, they can fuck right the hell off!

[Not that she's not used to this kind of treatment, but knowing you're dead and this is the kind of crap you have to deal with for an eternity... It's just not sitting right.]

[nightnpcs]

My goodness, it's just a smile!
Have you ever heard of anger management?

[seaboard]

I am sure many shall be glad to have a soldier, here, though I do not know your people. It seems there are frightful things to take advantage of us all.

[craters]

Isn't it usually customary to introduce yourself before you're offering that sort of assistance, Retort-san?

（ she knows that's not his real name, so that is 100 percent sass, comin' at you fast. ）

[craters]

Even if we do, we just have to have something he'd consider valuable enough to listen.

（ the Wheels are Turning. ）

Ah, anyway! We should probably think about showering his Holy Hierarchyness in wonderful presents later.

[craters]

（ she laughs a little, but it's that sort of shallow, flustered sort of laugh that demonstrates a lack of knowing what to say than actual amusement. ）

Ah, it's not a competition! We can both have nice names.

（ she flaps her hand a little — not that it helps, given that it's an audio call. ）

Does that mean you've been in a situation like this before...?

（ yes please let's stop talking! about her! ）

[seaboard]

[ Something she can latch onto in turn, what they can do, instead of struggling to keep her head above water. Even if she dearly wishes she could simply cease having to fight so hard. ]

Let me see... I can sew, cook, spin, weave, tend animals, butcher them too and preserve them, tend a field if I truly must, though I am not gifted at tilling the land properly, I can do it well enough if needs must. I know my numbers and letters, can keep accounts of all households and people that are to be fed, and so on. The usual running of a land, I suppose.

[ What all royals do, obviously. ]

[immortalrose]

Not exactly but then again, I'm a pessimist at heart.

[While he views himself as old and bitter at this point, there's still a hint of optimism left in him. Just a little bit.]

But what good is to be had from our diverse backgrounds? Our perspectives alone won't help us understand our current plight.

[sonofrome]

"Not sure what to expect except this guy threw us this box thing that keeps shaking."

"I'll keep an eye out though. Better to stay in a sort of group rather than going in alone though."

[janescayre]

[There's an unholy howl of rage from some hovel on the edge of town.

Fukawa is putting the phone down. No more. This was basically entrapment! Nothing she could say would clear her name, it would all look twice as suspicious as usual!!

Now she has a new mortal enemy....whoever this person is, they shall rue this day]

[craters]

（ for the greater good. how she's come to hate that term... that's the justification that lies behind children like itachi and sai being thrown to the wolves. even naruto...

she shakes her head, moves past it. ）

Well, hopefully we'll keep it to a minimum.

My best friend is a florist, I think she'd find a way to yell at me in the afterlife if we did anything else.

[telepathy]

it's ok
it's helpful

[ besides it spares her the effort of having to talk back. ]

[nagano]

What's that? You mean Zero-one-two-six-zero-one isn't your actual name?

[ Oh, he doesn't need to be in range to use his powers to smell the sass. It's a bit of a relief from all the doom and gloom from the last few days. ]

I'm Kaito. What's your name, Doc?

[deushexmachina]

You're far more of a survivalist than I am. [Perhaps a low bar to leap over, but he still means it as a compliment. His rather cloistered, academic life offered little in the way of practical skills.] I guarantee there'd be people who could benefit from your guidance. Would that be amiable to you? Teaching people these things?

[There's an itch of a question regarding how her highness came to know such practical things, but he tucks it away — for now. There's some sense of propriety still living in his mind.]

[deushexmachina]

I'll agree with that, yes. Perspective alone won't solve anything — but I'm hoping it might reveal ideas we as individuals can't quite see. A mass brainstorming, if you will. [Brightly:] I think you'd have a lot to offer in such a conversation.

[craters]

Oh — I'm sorry.

（ what even ARE vampires, honestly. ）

Which would work better for you...?

[seaboard]

Survivalist? [ Blink, blink. ]

Of course, I am glad to help any who come to me. I would be glad to share my knowledge. My only concern is that I do not know what this land needs, particularly. Each plot of soil, each fibre, every animal, grows to suit what it knows best. I worry some of my skills may not... hold the same.

[nagano]

Feels like I just talk into the void sometimes.

I'm Kaito. I know it contradicts what we've just exchanged, but if you find yourself in a bind that you can't get out of on your own, you can contact me.

[ If he could read the sentiment in her emotions, he'd sympathize. He's a talker now, but growing up was a different story. The less he saw of other people, the better. ]
