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!

Let me know if you need anything for it.

( not an offer he makes that often unless situations are serious... )

[craters]

（ he will live to regret that offer.

because she just sends him a long-ass list.

bandages, dressings, antiseptic, herbal compounds from serene, you name it. if it's related to medicine or patient care, it's probably on the list. everything is in descending priority, and there's two columns of numbers, indicating her current stock and the amount she'd like to acquire. ）

I'm most worried about the top five lines.

（ and she's too busy treating patients to run off and find things herself... ）

[narikei]

( the regret is already happening, but it isn't like he wants people to go without medical help either. he's going to have to source the supplies and purchase or acquire them in other ways.

still, he isn't a kid any longer. he can't just laze around while an ally could use a hand. )

Don't worry about them. Mission accepted...

[craters]

（ he can't see her smile, but he can probably hear it in her voice — the warmth and fondness of a bond that can only come from the life they've lead. he's one of ino's best friends, and she's going to look out for him the same she knows ino would watch over her boys. ）

Thanks, Shikamaru. I'll let you go for now, but let me know if you need anything too, okay?

[narikei]

I already figured out where to buy cigarettes, so I'm good for now. But thanks.

( he's glad team seven is around and all, but shikamaru definitely wouldn't complain if his own team was here. well, okay, he would. but it's annoying that they're not, even if they often work separate missions these days. similarly to sakura's train of thought, she's linked inextricably to ino in shikamaru's mind. has been ever since they were kids and ino adopted her, even if they had that falling out over boys. )

（ note to self: stock up on cigarettes in case there's a shortage, so she can ensure her nicotine-addicted friend doesn't go into withdrawals...

sometimes, medicine really is just harm reduction in the long run. ）
