netherwork | 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!

You didn't have to read what I wrote. You chose to. I'm sorry if it doesn't fit with your rosy view of the world.

But it's realistic.

Sooo... cultivating happiness is a pipe dream? Meeting someone who truly understands you? You know, I'm not even fully disagreeing with you, but you seem so down in the dumps it's probably hard to notice. It's not realistic, though. It's just... sad.

Then, it's sad if that's what you want to call it.

But I'll maintain that a rosy view of life like that is going to benefit nothing and no one since it's nearly certain that it won't happen.

Look around you. You think rosy views stand a chance? They don't, but your sullen lenses aren't any better. What are we without hope?

I never said I lacked hope.
You're being presumptuous.
I would just rather focus my hope on something not soulmate related.

Right, ok. You do you. But just to be sure. Was that you?

I wouldn't write anything like that.

Ok, but is it wrong You are a bit of a prickly cat Morpheus though, is it? Listen The only light you get around here is either from the Moons or from within and your Shadow's gonna work reaaaally hard to squelch that So don't be such a grump! I'm Assana, by the way

I'm not a grump.

This is how I am naturally.

"I'm not a grump", says the grump grumpily

Are you going around being like this to everyone?

This? That's very vague, you know

Are you being a nuisance to everyone else?

A nuisance! Do you still want to pretend that you're NOT a grump then?

I wouldn't call myself that.

What would call yourself then? Synonyms don't count!

I call myself Morpheus.

Well, Morpheus You're humoring me still Maybe there's hope for you yet!

The best thing that I could ever hear.

[ that's sarcasm. ]

You really are a beacon of joy, you know that? At least you can find some comfort in knowing that you probably won't get many demands

I don't want many demands.

I want to figure out how I can get out of here.

I know So relax, your soul is safe And your good humor We all want the same thing, I'm fairly sure

I suppose we'll see if that's true, won't we?

Why wouldn't we all want to get out of here? The only thing that remains to be seen, I guess, is whether we'll succeed Hope your skills match your will!

I don't know, I haven't taken a poll of everyone's hopes and ambitions.
