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!

[ Wow, those texts look like they were ripped straight out of a manga he was reading the other week. ]

Got a bad feeling that this will in fact be quite different, but I've survived worse... arguably.

[pissoffbook]

You saying it's gonna come back to bite me in the ass?

[nagano]

No. But it could. It could bite any of us in the ass. They told us about the benefits of having these Soulmates, but there's always room for skepticism.

[pissoffbook]

Consider me skeptical then.

[She's not going to say it, but no matter how beneficial these Soulmates are, no one is going to want to be connected to a freak like her in that way!]

[nagano]

Hello, Skeptical. I'm Kaito.

[ Boooooooooooo. ]

I imagine this Soulmate thing will be important in some way or form, but I'm not committing to anything without getting more information first.

[pissoffbook]

[Kainé stares at her device for a moment, trying to get the joke and groans when she does.]

Well, feel free to send that information my way. This place isn't that big. We'll probably meet again.

[She sighs. he did give his name. she should give hers too... not that she's really concerned with being polite.]

I'm Kainé.

[nagano]

[ Kainé. It's only two letters off from his name. That's not strange or even peculiar, but something about the innocuous coincidence fills Kaito with a mild sense of relief.

It's normal. There isn't a lot of normal in the Netherworld. ]

I'll do just that, Kainé. I prefer chatting in-person, especially if it's to exchange intel, but these messaging services exist for a reason, right?

End after your next?

[pissoffbook]

Thanks... and yeah, I guess this thing is here for a reason.

I don't do the city thing, so you might find me outside Stygia. I usually camp out alone.

Sounds good to me!!

[nagano]

Cities are too loud for me, so I feel you. I generally hole up in the library or roam the Shadowlands in search of ingredients or Restless to awaken.

If I see you hanging around, I'll drop in. With food, too.
