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!

A compliment, I assure you. It's brutally come to my attention I should've dedicated more time on such skills. [Hindsight. Jayce thinks a moment, scratching at his chin unseen.] You bring up a good point — a direct translation might not be accessible. But your methodology, if we can replicate that and adapt it to new variables, then perhaps... [his thought trails off; he realizes he has little framework to reference.]

You're giving me hope, at least.

[seaboard]

Well, I suppose I have survived much in my life.

[ Yes that is what he meant, mmhm. ]

As you give to me. A burden shared is a burden halve, yes? It is good to have someone who seeks to find a way forward, as well.

[deushexmachina]

A queen isn't without her harrowing moments, I imagine. [He senses the room to overstep, but cedes to the tacit habit Viktor and Mel had struggled to instill within him — with momentary success.]

That's a good way to put it, [his smile softens his words,] sometimes I'll get a lucky break. Meeting you qualifies, my queen [—my queen? Jayce winces, it sounded better in his head—] — ah, Queen Gilia.

[seaboard]

[ Be still her heart, what a gentleman. Impossibly sweet, goodness. ]

As I am graced by you, Jayce of House Talis.

[deushexmachina]

[Most of his communication via this device has been tonally fascinated; it was remarkable technology, after all. Only now is he relieved for how it obscures his face — her words bring a warm heat to his cheeks, he's momentarily speechless.]

Thanks, [is all he can think to say in the moment.] I hope it might be possible to meet with you—in person—sooner rather than later.

[seaboard]

I will look forward to it. If you are near the dockyards, please call on me, I am happy to have company any time of day.

[deushexmachina]

I will, Queen Gilia. Thank you for — well, restoring some deeply needed hope to me.

[seaboard]

It is I who ought to thank you, truly. But then we might be about this all day.

When I find some good ale I shall put it away for us both instead to share when we meet.

[deushexmachina]

I would like that greatly.
