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!

（ you know, he's really reminding her of a slightly less... gently patronizing version of lee. lee, who's a wonderful human being but still very mired in traditional views towards women.

still, it's very sweet. ）

I'm not looking for anyone to date, I'll be all right.

I'll forgive you just this once for not knowing it, but I'm pretty strong. I can look after myself.

[coherer]

(wow, what an honour to be compared to the naruto sigma male. unbelievable...)

Ooh, well, my apologies. I won't make the same mistake twice. "She can heal your injures or make them worse!" (jonas laughs, thinking of alex. his stepsister was the same way, always telling him off when he got too protective. nostalgic, it makes him an even bigger weenie.) Can you look after me, too? Haha, I'm, like—I'll happily be the one you warn about guys on Soulidarity.

Jesus, and the girls. "Crazy" isn't gender-specific in my experience.

(such a colossal dude)

[craters]

（ with a hint of mischievousness — ）

Are you asking me to be your bodyguard, Jonas?

I'll have you know, my medical services are free, but I charge extra for punching things.

（ look, she has an emote for this! excuse her while she sends that along digitally as well... ）

(✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)ง

[coherer]

(he can hear that kaomoji)

Maaaybe. Looks like I'll have to get a job now to be able to afford you because I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you don't come cheap.

(what is this solicitation??????????)

[craters]

I sure don't!!

（ is this what talking to normal boys is like. is it??? wild. ）

[coherer]

(is this trauma bonding? has he made a friend???)

If someone told me I was gonna crawl out of an egg sack just to have this conversation, I'd tell them to go pound sand, but... here I am and it's just as weird as if I'd made it up.

(the words may be mocking, but jonas' tone is the exact opposite.)

Lemme know when you want me at the pier, Sakura; I'll be there.

[craters]

（ she's had much weirder conversations than this, but that's still cute, so. ）

Yes, sir!

Let's make it three days from now. Is seven too early for you?

（ Shinobi Never Sleep. welcome to hell, jonas. ）

[coherer]

Seven... in the morning? Seven-seven?

(huehhh... no. hurgh... no. it'll be fine. it'll be fine.)

Totally... "the early bird gets the worm" or so they say...

(this is what happens when you can't say no to people.)

[craters]

（ you know what... she's tempted to just Be Mean, but he's earned a little bit of kindness from her now, so... ）

Actually, I just remembered I'm busy then anyway. （ LIES. ） How about noon?

[coherer]

(obvious pity extended to him from this pink angel... does he accept it? his pride as a man is on the line...)

Oh, seriously? That's—let me check. (haha, fuck pride! he's dead, he wants to sleep in! jonas pretends to rustle around to keep their act going.) Huh, actually, I think noon would work out way better for my enormously busy schedule. Go figure.

[craters]

You better make sure you bring me lunch, though. That's my charge for tuition!

（ there. a suitable compromise. ）

[coherer]

You drive a hard bargain, but I'll make it work.

(honestly, this is the fairest deal ever. jonas slips into his new role as breadwinner sakura's trophy wife with incredible ease.)

Got any food allergies or... things you pretend are food allergies because you hate them so much?

[craters]

Ahh... I don't really like spicy food all that much. Everything else is probably fine!

（ she's used to eating gross and/or weird things on missions, so. c'est la vie. ）

[coherer]

Extra spicy food... got it.

See you then? (he has a date with bloody gauze, hell yeah.)

[craters]

I'm going to generously assume you were joking for both our sakes, but just remember: doctors have access to very sharp implements!

（ oh she is absolutely teasing him. he doesn't strike her as the sort of person who would bring the wrong this on purpose.

... the comment about sharp things still does stand, though. just in case. ）

See you there!
