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!

I see, so the Tempest is permanent. It's understandable why the Hierarchy wouldn't continue venturing into it simply to pick up those who've just woken up.

[ sounds like the storm that used to separate inazuma from the rest of teyvat. ]

Is there no other way but through it? Especially if we wish to return to the place where we've woken up?

[nightnpcs]

Permanent, but not always so chaotic! It's calmer at times, but no one's really been able to predict when. Or why, really!

There are safer passages. Have you spotted really tall and cloaked guys in the Shadowlands? Or even in the Harbors. They usually hang out near the shores. We call them Ferrymen, and for some reason, they know their around.

[unalign]

I did, but they weren't very talkative.

[ not that she's the chattiest person, either. she supposes she can just ask around ... ]

I wanted to ask since I, and it seems another person, would like to explore the regions beyond Stygia. And I'd like to return in one piece, if that's possible for a dead person.

[nightnpcs]

Well, you did make your way here in one piece, didn't you?
But now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever heard one...
A Ferryman, I mean.
They won't deny you safe passage though, I know that much!

[unalign]

[ so it's not just her. ]

That's good to know.
Do we know if they have maps, too? Or if the library in Serene has some.

[nightnpcs]

Yeah! You'll find maps there, for sure!
And Serene is super pretty, so that's a plus!

[unalign]

So I've heard. Looks like I know where I'll be headed off next.
Thank you!

If we need to reach out to anyone in the Hierarchy, is there anyone we can speak to?

[ the answer is probably no, lumine ... ]

[nightnpcs]

If you have the patience of a saint, sure!
Try poking @ hierarchy

Or you can always try to contact me!

[unalign]

I'll be sure to do that! I hope it won't be too much of a bother, if so.
