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!

Correction. They're the words of a dead man if they mean to make an enemy of us all.

[seaboard]

I would not wish to turn to violence, by any means.

But we must hope for better, always.

[immortalrose]

Diplomacy without a willing ear is bound to fail.

[Forgive him but he's truly a pessimist at heart sometimes.]

[seaboard]

[ And but a tired optimist she must try. ]

With time, and appropriate sway he will surely listen to us. Willing or not, we are his people now, it ought to be his greatest desire to see to our well being.

[immortalrose]

[Not one to dash the hopes of the masses, Augustine bites his tongue from saying anymore disparaging thoughts. The situation is grim and certainly won't become better overnight. However, he's not cruel enough to inflict his pessimistic thoughts upon her. This is why he relents somewhat.]

If the seas can erode the hardest stone, then perhaps time could soften their hearts but we might be waiting for a very long time.

[seaboard]

Then it is quite well, I suppose, we are dead. We have time if nothing else.

[ Always look on the bright side of death. ]

[immortalrose]

Do you believe that?

[His tone shifts from cold fury to vague curiosity.]

That we are dead?

[seaboard]

[ she hopes so - wait shh. ]

It is what they have told us, and I must imagine nothing less that death could have taken me from my people and my family.

[immortalrose]

['It is what they have told us?' He can't help but mentally scoff.]

Word of advice, don't believe everything told.

[That's a warning.]

[seaboard]

You think we are not? After all that has happened?

[immortalrose]

I don't know what to think but I'm hesitant to believe I'm dead when I can still bleed.

[seaboard]

That is true.

Perhaps we are in the realm of the Spirits, rather than mortal men?

[immortalrose]

The realm of the spirits?

[He cannot help but frown a little but thankfully this is only audio.]

If so, I would doubt our corporeal forms would be so...intact. All life must return to its origins, yes? Even life upon alien unfamiliar realms.

[seaboard]

[ She hums, thinking, a low melodious sound. ]

Not so. It is not common, but the realms of Great Spirits are often so powerful, that a mortal may wonder into them in their own form. But it is often a distorted place, where little makes sense.

[immortalrose]

Doesn't that sound like Stygia, to you?

[Judging from the urgency in his tone, he clearly thinks it does.]

The nights here are long and dark. It lingers like a foul mist over the bleak horizon and the land itself seems devoid of all nourishment and life. The city itself seems to hang perilously upon a knife's edge, woven together by scraps of rusted metal.

[seaboard]

It seems a misery when you lay it so bear...

[ She leans forward where she sits on her end, rubbing her thumb against the side of her nose as she thinks. ]

In those cases - we would say it is a place of suffering to great such. A dreadful battlefield, a place where many died in a many. It lingers in the place, even long after the people are gone.

Yet this place has ensnared so many... so many of us...
