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!

Tell that to Piltover.

[ It's said, snidely. ]

I think you and I have very different experiences with rulers.

[ She can't help it, she laughs, husky and soft. ]

It is a little different, when you are one, and they are one's parents, siblings, spouses and the future of your children.

[ Ah, he thinks. Nobility. His tone shifts, slightly. Cool -- political. ]

I'm afraid that is much different than the experience I've had with your type, then. People like me are normally beneath your...elevated notice.

[ Until they become a problem, of course. ]

[There it is. She breathes out between her lips in a sort of tiredness.]

Spare us both that then. My notice is what is in front of me. My only concern if we are not being cared for, we need to feed, clothe and prepare ourselves for the advent for worse.

How mature of you.

[ His tone, of course, remains mostly neutral, a touch of sarcasm. Those in power so often, in his experience, liked to present themselves as the logical alternative. Above the masses, concerned with only what was best.

There's a sound, of a clink -- pshh-- of a lighter, before he speaks again, supposedly through a mouthful of a smoke.

You'll want to find people who know how to survive against all odds, to figure out how to do that. Thankfully, the clothes seemed to be found readily enough.

[ Where is a decent ale when she needs one?

But then, the flicker of that dislike would have been enough to make her squirm in need to please, once, fall over herself to prove herself, must, must. Now she presses her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she clicks on a thought.

My how she has grown, her mother would say. Then again, her mother would have probably said something worse by now.
]

'Survive against all odds' will do for a short time, for a few of us. But there are at least five dozen score that I could rough count, and children amongst it too, and if what I saw on the ships was any measure of the more rough, immediate skills? I worry for the winter to come.

I think you would be surprised with how...clever children can be, when their lives are at stake.

[ He says, like it's no big deal. Then again... look at his factories, and Silco's opinions on what children can take are clear. ]

I think such endeavors are much more suited to royalty, don't you? If they've decided to deign us with their grand leadership, of course. I'm afraid I'm... [ there's a pause, like he's waving his hand. ] A mere bar owner.

[ There she just chuckles. ] They can be plenty clever even when they're not in any peril for that measure.

[ Eyebrow lift. Mere bar owners do not have opinions like this, nor carry tones like seasoned courtiers. Who knows what he is at all of course, but consider her suspicious. ]

And I am merely a farmer's daughter.
zauneyete: (Not the only thing I stick in my eye)

[personal profile] zauneyete 2022-10-07 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I'm sure you are that.

[ He doesn't believe it, of course. In Silco's mind, he can see the construction, just like many of Piltover's high houses. The Talis clan alone was known for their forges and construction, but that hardly meant that the family were merely blacksmiths.

No, Silco had been kicked down by a few too many Enforcer boots in his youth -- and paid off even more as an adult -- for him to not understand that the phrasing was particular. There's no smile in his voice, but it's still as cool and pleasant.
]

Well, perhaps there will be room for you to ask those interested in helping, when it comes to it. And if you need to know the best drink to get you the most drunk, well -- I suppose you can see me. [ Or not. He literally has no interest in actually running a bar. ]
