npc || amun [ @ hierarchy ]

( 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!

We'll have to earn out keep in order to befriend the monarchy.
Whether than means through commerce or bloodshed depends upon the person.

I'm sure that this embattled city could use more than a few volunteers.

[ Okay but what if fuck the monarchy ]

agreed, even if it feels a little overwhelming
it's hard to know where help's needed the most

[Listen, it's too early for a coup...!]

When it doubt, speak with the locals.
The peasantry will always voice what ails them behind the backs of their betters.

[ It's never too early ⚔️ ]

good advice
I guess it's not much different from where I'm from
but sometimes it's hard to filter out the people who are complaining for the sake of complaining

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-02 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be difficult sometimes to decipher the truth from the lies, but I trust you possess the discernment necessary to filter out the nonsense.

I spent most of my day exploring the harbor. The laborers there are a hardworking bunch. Perhaps you should start by conversing with them.

[ Have you never witnessed a comment section, my guy? That's assuming people actually know what they want and aren't just using whatever platform they can to bitch. ]

I wouldn't say they're lying just
sometimes they don't know what they want
or sometimes they just really want to fight somebody over text

that's good advice, I'll be sure to check that out!
who should I tell them sent me?

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-02 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fair enough. The comments here are little suspicious so far. However, the overall discontentment of everyone here is quite relatable.]

Some people just can't be reasoned with, I'm afraid.

[Though, he's curious to know who's arguing over text.]

No need. The locals aren't very enthused about me.

[It has everything to do with the blue skin, the bat-like wings, and peculiar eyes.]

what? why not?
you seem like a nice person

Let's just say that sometimes "good intentions" aren't good enough.

[He's being cryptic as hell.]

yeah that tracks
you sure you don't want me to try to put in a good word for you?
I've found even tossing in a "hey x told me you needed help" works wonders for one's reputation
I don't mind
immortalrose: (A lost lamb first the feast)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
['That...tracks?' Hm? That's a curious idiom. He's going to revisit that one later.]

If you insist...
I certainly wouldn't mind but honestly, you don't have to credit me.

I'm simply a nosey interloper.

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
what name should I give them?
immortalrose: (Natureless creatures)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Augustine. Augustine Rosethrawn.

And you are?

Hibiki
Fujiwara Hibiki
nice to meet you!
immortalrose: (Default)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
The pleasure is all mine, Hibiki.

This might be a peculiar question but where are you from? I know of another who possesses a vaguely similar name.


[He's referring to Sakura, everyone's resident doctor.]
windsongs: (158)

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-03 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
not peculiar at all!
I'm from Japan, a country on Earth
one of many Earths I think

what about you?
immortalrose: (A lost lamb first the feast)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
The Volterian Empire, more specifically the former imperial capital of Hawthorne.
As for the world itself, my ancestors named it Elara.

What do you mean by "one of many Earths"? Is there more than one?

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-03 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Elara huh?
I can't say that I've heard of it, sorry

it sounds like there are people from either multiple timelines or parallel worlds here
I've met at least one so far
immortalrose: (Mark on your back!)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, you're not the only one.
It seems that my realm of Elara is quite...unknown here.


[That's both a positive and a negative, honestly. The less Volterian natives, the better in his book but he feels terribly alone here. Then again, that's nothing new.]

Parallel worlds? By the Seven, this entire ordeal is even stranger than the next.
I cannot help but ponder what we all have in common.
windsongs: (026)

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-03 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
that must be hard not having anyone who knows your world

I wasn't sure about the whole multiverse theory myself, but I guess this proves it
doesn't make it any easier to process
I'm wondering the same thing. what's going on here...
immortalrose: (From foul nests rise)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
If only the Reapers would talk.
The one who pried me out of that odd cocoon was shockingly docile but otherwise silent.

I fear we're going to be the dark both figuratively and literally for a long time.

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-03 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I get the impression that they might be a little overwhelmed
doesn't make it any less frustrating, but we may need to sit on our hands for now
hopefully something will break soon


[ "Sit on their hands." Right. Says the woman planning an expedition to comb for information. Not like she would admit that to anyone, especially not here. ]
immortalrose: (Natureless creatures)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Rather than sit on our hands, I suggest we keep watch and observe how matters unfold.

[They're both on the same page.]
windsongs: (182)

[personal profile] windsongs 2022-10-04 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
that sounds like a great idea
you'll tell me if you come across anything interesting right?
I'm happy to do the same! 😊
immortalrose: (Your heart is racing)

[personal profile] immortalrose 2022-10-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
But of course. Take care of yourself, Hibiki.
