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!

Believe me, I know the world won't do that. I've just never seen any evidence at all of soulmates.

[ and he thinks he would have heard something all things considered. ]

[fallingsand]

Well, it could be out there, but I don't have any evidence to prove it, either, so I guess... it doesn't matter, one way or the other, huh?

[dreamlords]

I just think finding something like that here? It shouldn't be a priority.

[fallingsand]

Mm, that's true. Actually... dealing with the whole, uh, dead and stuck in purgatory thing is. It's. It's definitely the priority right now.

[dreamlords]

Yes.

[ he's been trying not to think about that but there it is. ]

And the fact is that I cannot die so how this happened, I want to know.

[fallingsand]

[ Cue a startled sound. Excuse him? ]

Wh... what do you mean you can't die?

[dreamlords]

Immortal.

[ or so he thought. ]

Endless don't die.

[fallingsand]

Immortal? Wh... what? Really? Then yeah, you definitely shouldn't be here!

[dreamlords]

And yet, here I am.

[ he agrees, bruno! ]

[fallingsand]

Wow... um. Maybe you should file a complaint with someone, then. I figure if they have a government, they got to have someone like that, yeah?

[dreamlords]

Do you think it will do absolutely any good?

[ he doubts it. ]

[fallingsand]

You won't know until you try, right?

[ Oh, no, it definitely won't help. ]

[dreamlords]

That is...probably true.

[ though he would have to find out who to even file that with. ]

I'll consider it. That's more than I would have done a few moments ago.

[fallingsand]

Uh, okay. Glad I could... help?

[ Was that even helping? No, he doubts it, but he isn't sure what else to say. ]

[dreamlords]

It's more than I've gotten from other people.

[ so yes, it was helping. ]

[fallingsand]

Oh, that's a relief.

[ Slightly less useless than others. ]

Ah, also, um. Do you mind if I ask what an Endless is? You mentioned that before?

[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.

[fallingsand]

[ Considering there's only really one thing he can imagine being around since the beginning and will continue throughout the end... ]

You can't mean that you're... God, right? B-because I'm sure you wouldn't be here even by accident if. If that were true.

[dreamlords]

No, I'm not God. Far from it.

[ the thought makes him laugh a bit. ]

He would be worse than I am being in this situation.

[fallingsand]

I couldn't even imagine how that would go. Not well... hm. So, not God, but someone who's just... always been around?

[dreamlords]

Yes. The Endless rule over different...parts of the world. Mine are dreams.

[ ever had a dream? probably his doing. ]

And we've been around before you were even a thought and we'll continue to be around after you've gone.

[fallingsand]

So you're a, um, what's the word. A manifestation? Of dreams? Just person-shaped? Or. Maybe person-shaped. I don't... actually know that, so.

[dreamlords]

Close enough.

[ he's got a better understanding for it than most people do. ]

I'm tangible but I'm not an actual human.

[fallingsand]

[ Right now, here's Bruno, accepting that living concepts are a thing. Later, he'll be telling Jonas that Egyptian Gods aren't actually real. He's definitely going to be wrong about one of these down here... ]

So, you. Make dreams? Is... that how that works?

[dreamlords]

Something like that.

[ close enough. ]

Do you dream?
