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!

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

[He's being cryptic as hell.]

[windsongs]

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]

['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.

[windsongs]

what name should I give them?

[immortalrose]

Augustine. Augustine Rosethrawn.

And you are?

[windsongs]

Hibiki
Fujiwara Hibiki
nice to meet you!

[immortalrose]

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]

not peculiar at all!
I'm from Japan, a country on Earth
one of many Earths I think

what about you?

[immortalrose]

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?

[windsongs]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[windsongs]

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]

Rather than sit on our hands, I suggest we keep watch and observe how matters unfold.

[They're both on the same page.]

[windsongs]

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]

But of course. Take care of yourself, Hibiki.
