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!

Your own impenetrable fortress? [ sounds pretty cool. ] If they got in that means they're pretty sneaky, right?

Or pretty evil.

[zauneyete]

You know... When you get defensive like this, it almost sounds like you've done something wrong.

Personally, I don't admit anything, unless I have a need to. Keeps the Enforcers -- or the Hierarchy -- off your back, too.

[nagano]

[ To create, one must first destroy.

...Probably. ]

Huh. That's... interesting. Wish-granting stories do well to attract seekers. I imagine this tower isn't very forgiving to those who don't pass these 'tests.'

[zauneyete]

See? That's on you, and therefore, I won't feel guilty for making the joke.

[ It was a dad joke. He won't admit it though. ]

[dreamlords]

That's not an uncommon sentiment.

[ fantastical, mythical, strange, he's heard it all before when he's chosen to introduce himself to people with his real name.

maybe he'll start going with 'bob' just to see what happens there. ]

Do you believe you've died as they say?

[dreamlords]

I don't mind though I don't know if I can accurately explain it.

[ it's hard to be simple when describing himself. ]

I have been around since the beginning of time and will continue to live till the end.

[dreamlords]

It's concerning.

[ though not impossible. ]

I'd suspect some sort of magical means of it happening.

[deushexmachina]

For the improvement of lives, the quality of individual existence en masse. I'm from the City of Progress, you understand, we collectively strive towards this goal. And Hextech has made magic more... understandable to people. [His tone implying there was something of a learning curve, some resistance.]

[deushexmachina]

Happy to be in the muck as long as you can drag everyone else down, huh? Typical Silco.

[deushexmachina]

Guess I'll take your word for it. It's an interesting idea, though. I take it you've seen it firsthand?

[deushexmachina]

I would like that greatly.

[deushexmachina]

[The soft scratch of a writing utensil to some surface — whether Jayce found a pen or conceived one with charcoal remains unseen.]

Cedrik and Lan Wangji. Excellent, thank you, I'll seek them out and introduce myself [daringly:] as your friend.

[coherer]

(oh, was it ever. source: his own father's jokes. just terrible.)

Now that I've aged a decade, what's your world like?

You said you had trouble before where you're from.

[immortalrose]

Friends are we? [There's a tinge of humor in his tone as he regards Jayce.] I would say we're more like "colleagues" instead, especially since we have yet to meet in person.

[Hint, hint.]

Nevertheless, refer to me as you wish.

[coherer]

You don't know anything about me, just like I don't know anything about you. What we do or don't deserve... I guess that's never been up to us.

(surely, for both of their sakes, it'd be best to stick a pin in it. jonas gives his hair a brush through, frustrated at himself and at the situation.)

... I'll see you at the chapel, alright? I'm still coming to see what I can help with.

[zauneyete]

I suppose the key will be finding enough funds to hire someone as an escort. At least that's my plan.

[zauneyete]

[ Yes. ]

Well, I can hardly conceive of an experience where I haven't, to have arrived here.

[ The bullets in his stomach were a minor detail. They confirmed that he was dead. ]

I've heard others say they don't believe they're dead, however. There are more questions than we've had answers from day one. It's possible none of us are.

[zauneyete]

At least then we're all on even footing, councilor. It makes it harder for any one person to look down their nose at the lot of us trying to scramble for purchase.

[zauneyete]

Dark, dingy, and poor. I lived underground.

[ Oh, but he loved it. He loved Zaun enough to put his entire life into it -- perhaps poorly, perhaps in a way that didn't work, but he'd done it. Silco had always simply needed a balance, and unfortunately... ]

Yours?

[invinciblemikey]

Define 'firsthand'.

[dreamlords]

Considering I can't die —

[ he can be added into the category of those who think they haven't died. ]

But, I doubt I'm going to figure out what's happened and why anytime soon.

[fessus]

I've given you like four to memorize

Those are freebies, use them yourself to save time lol people will know what they mean.

[fessus]

If that's coping with humor then people like to laugh way more than I thought

[ The sheer amount of SWIPING... ]

What's your name anyway?

[fessus]

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be your backup on that. I've had a lot of people I've wanted to beat down lately and this guy's still near the top of the list.

I'm just saying you're wasting your breath yelling about it here is all

[abandonme]

The seekers are the entire world.

[ To cryptically leave it at that. ]

No, it isn't. Personally if you asked me, I'd say giving up on ascending that tower was worse then death.
