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!

[man, why you gotta go straight for her issues like that.

There's a significant delay in response this time. A lot of it is spent biting her thumb and recalculating her interpretation of it. Of course it's not a barb at her personally — what would this total stranger know of her, or her dreams?

Good. I thought I was talking to a total coward, but at least you're a pragmatist.

I suppose more investigation is needed before we know what we can or can't affect. There's a lot of ground to cover and a lot of ill-defined threats around. Not to mention the audacity of making the undead work for money, which is just adding insult to injury. Our work is cut out for us.

"At least".

I wouldn't go making assumptions too early, lest you insult someone who takes things personally. You never know what kinds of people you'll run into -- or at least we won't, until we start actually spending time talking to the other... what are we called? Restless? That have been here longer.

[There's a short chill when she reads this message the first time. This is the problem with text, with internet communication. No read on tone. Sure, Fukawa would have said the same things to his face (she rarely edits herself, especially on topics such as these) but there's no way of telling how this person took it.

Right now, it sounds a lot like a threat.

She frets for a moment. What does she do? Engage with it? Run screaming? Should she look this person up and take cover if she sees them coming? Ignoring it would piss them off, probably. So, maybe...]

All right. I'll talk to people.

[Keep it short and cut it off.

She tosses her phone aside for now, feeling queasy. If there's one thing she's good at, it's putting her foot in her stupid mouth.]
