npc || amun [ @ hierarchy ]

( 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!

[ There's a longer pause from Bruno's side of the conversation than one might expect on that note. He's grimacing and thankful she can't see it. Of course, her mother could see the future. Just great. ]

I'd think so, in that case. That kind of magic can be, uh. Weird, sometimes.

Yeah...

[ She sounds very conflicted about this, not because he's said something wrong, but because it makes sense. But it's the only lead she has left; she doesn't want to believe that the information there would be inconsistent. ]

So if everyone in your family has a gift, what's yours? You said one of your nieces can grow flowers, is it something like that?

[ Hoo boy, these awkward pauses keep coming. Bruno sucks in a breath against his teeth but the sound of that is far too faint for the device to pick up. ]

Iiit's not, um, anything useful, really. I. I bet it doesn't even work anymore, now that I'm dead.

[ ...Is this guy just cagey normally, or is something up? She won't pry, but something about this kind of stinks. ]

I've heard they come and go, so maybe you still have it after all. You could always try maybe?

[ Hibiki please stop torturing this poor man. ]

[ Bruno, managing to be shifty and entirely innocent all at once. Truly his real gift right there. ]

Oh, it'll... it'll make itself known if it is. Eventually. Pretty sure, anyway. Y'know, unless it is gone, which is. Well. I don't know how I would feel about that, really?

[ Wow that sounds suspicious as heck. She should give him his space, but this has more than piqued her curiosity. ]

...I can relate to that. That's pretty much how I feel about anything related to my father, so I completely understand. Is it something you can't control very well?
fallingsand: (03; stuttering or stumbling)

[personal profile] fallingsand 2022-10-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can when I want to use it. There's a... thing. I do. Like, a ritual. Otherwise, it takes sort of a constant effort to stifle it? Most of the time, anyway.

[ Oh... It takes him telling her that he actively stifles it for things to click. Ahhh she must seem like a jerk for pressing. ]

Gotcha. Yeah, I can get why you might have issues testing it... [ Should she..? ]

If you ever wanna find out if it still works and need somebody there to help, give me a call. Okay?
fallingsand: (12; grappling with prophecies)

[ Thankfully, 'a jerk' isn't at all what Bruno is thinking of her. Curious, that's all. That's not a crime. ]

Yeah, just a little. I'd need something to focus on to do it, anyway, and some time to set up for it, so... [ Effort. Plus, he'd need to find at least a bucket's worth of sand somewhere. ] Uh, but sure. If I ever do, you'll be at the top of the list, Hibiki.
