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!

Seriously? This has gotta be some kind of joke

I can't be the only one who thinks this looks like a dating app or smth.

[ Has he been sheltered? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean he lives under a rock. He went to high school, and now he's in desperate need of someone to just verify that no, he's not insane. ]

[abandonme]

What's a dating app?

[ Things that absolutely do not exist in The Tower = That ]

[fessus]

You're not trolling are you

[abandonme]

Um. No?

[fessus]

It's an app for dating. A phone app? You've got tons of apps on your phone rn if you look, this kind's just for meeting people or w/e

[telepathy]

actually, i was wondering too.

[fessus]

Idk I can't tell if it's more likely that half the people I'm running into are lying or that they seriously haven't used a phone before

[telepathy]

ive never seen a machine like this that still worked

[unalign]

But if you think about it, to find your soulmate, wouldn't you have to search for a person and possibly go out with them?

[ js, not that she's looking for one either. ]

[fessus]

Sure maybe if it's a romantic soulmate, ig

[ Because surely that's the normal way, not getting engaged to someone by your father's order as a good faith measure to avoid war. Noctis has experienced exactly one of these two scenarios. It is not the one that involves a dating app, yet here he is. ]

Is that how it is? Did someone tell you that here? That it's a romance thing

[unalign]

I don't see it as anything related to romance. No one said anything about romance, either. But in a way, it's just a convenient instrument to meet people, isn't it?

After all, you can still go out with a person and remain friends or acquaintances with them.

[ she's just looking at this with a very objective eye. she does agree that this is the worst way to go about soulmate-hunting, though. ]

[fessus]

You mean "go out" super literally huh

[ He should understand since he has also experienced the beauty of hangout events, and yet here we are. Please forgive him, Lumine. ]

Did you already make a profile?

[unalign]

The person earlier didn't give very specific instructions, so who's to say that it's not meant for that, right?

[ protags gotta stick together, yknow. ]

Ah.

Unknowingly, yes.

[oomfies]

i'm pretty sure this is a tinder knock off

[fessus]

Maybe the guy that invented these apps is down here too and they have him working doubletime

[oomfies]

[ Hmm. Lottie would disagree. The immediate satisfaction she gets from using Tinder is immense. She feels no satisfaction looking at this barren profile she's supposed to fill out!! ]

doubt it! super likes would still exist if he was lol

[fessus]

Lol

[ Noctis, man who has very much never used a dating app in real life and doesn't know what super likes are, nevertheless is relieved to simply find someone else who does. A normal tech-savvy individual. ]

Tbf I didn't say he was doing his best work down here, ik I wouldn't be

[oomfies]

[ God.. Lottie has never been as happy to see someone 'ik' her before than right now. ]

RIGHT? no google.. no spotify
not even a knockoff instagram 😭

no one can work in these conditions!

un: shogi

[narikei]

That's exactly what it looks like. Might be easier to look at it as platonic meetups.

[fessus]

You're telling me, if this soulmate thing needed anything else it'd be a pretty hard sell

un: am

[m67]

It’s worse.

[fessus]

Yeah the UI is actually pretty shitty tbh

[m67]

UI?

[fessus]

User interface? The design of the app is garbage

[m67]

Sorry. I don't speak .... Computer.
Are you a web/app designer?
