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!

It's more than I've gotten from other people.

[ so yes, it was helping. ]

[fallingsand]

Oh, that's a relief.

[ Slightly less useless than others. ]

Ah, also, um. Do you mind if I ask what an Endless is? You mentioned that before?

[dreamlords]

I don't mind though I don't know if I can accurately explain it.

[ it's hard to be simple when describing himself. ]

I have been around since the beginning of time and will continue to live till the end.

[fallingsand]

[ Considering there's only really one thing he can imagine being around since the beginning and will continue throughout the end... ]

You can't mean that you're... God, right? B-because I'm sure you wouldn't be here even by accident if. If that were true.

[dreamlords]

No, I'm not God. Far from it.

[ the thought makes him laugh a bit. ]

He would be worse than I am being in this situation.

[fallingsand]

I couldn't even imagine how that would go. Not well... hm. So, not God, but someone who's just... always been around?

[dreamlords]

Yes. The Endless rule over different...parts of the world. Mine are dreams.

[ ever had a dream? probably his doing. ]

And we've been around before you were even a thought and we'll continue to be around after you've gone.

[fallingsand]

So you're a, um, what's the word. A manifestation? Of dreams? Just person-shaped? Or. Maybe person-shaped. I don't... actually know that, so.

[dreamlords]

Close enough.

[ he's got a better understanding for it than most people do. ]

I'm tangible but I'm not an actual human.

[fallingsand]

[ Right now, here's Bruno, accepting that living concepts are a thing. Later, he'll be telling Jonas that Egyptian Gods aren't actually real. He's definitely going to be wrong about one of these down here... ]

So, you. Make dreams? Is... that how that works?

[dreamlords]

Something like that.

[ close enough. ]

Do you dream?

[fallingsand]

Well, sure. Mostly nightmares but that still counts, yeah?

[dreamlords]

That counts.

[ he'd have to look into that when he was back in the dreaming, see what kind of nightmares he had. ]

You've always had nightmares?

[fallingsand]

Mm, more or less, yes. You'd definitely be able to tell how little I sleep, y'know, from.

[ If this was video, he'd be gesturing at the pronounced bags he has under his eyes but it isn't, so it's just a somewhat awkward pause. ]

Actually, never mind. It's. It doesn't really matter anymore, right? 'cause of the whole dead... thing.

[dreamlords]

I suppose we'll see if nightmares still happen when we're apparently dead.

[ he doesn't know what to think about that. ]

[fallingsand]

Well, no offense meant to dreams or anything, but I'm hoping for nothing at all. If I'm dead, I should be allowed to sleep like it, y'know?

[dreamlords]

Do we even sleep if we're dead?

[ not that he's admitting to being dead. he just...cannot. ]

[fallingsand]

[ That is... a very good question, actually. ]

I mean, maybe? I did take a nap but I think that was because I was too stressed out to do anything else? And not tired. Not really.

[dreamlords]

Then, maybe we do sleep.

( he wonders it for himself, if this place is going to change him or not. )

Or maybe it was just passing out from stress.

[fallingsand]

Yeah, you might want to ask other people about that because with me? There's a, uh, really good chance it's just passing out. From stress.

[ He is very stressed, sorry. ]

[dreamlords]

That bad?

[ he gets it. ]

[fallingsand]

[ There's a big ol' sigh. ]

Yeah, yeah... always that bad. I wasn't much better when alive, either.

[dreamlords]

Hm.

[ perhaps something to look into when he finds his way back. ]

I'm sorry for that. Everyone should have some measure of uninterrupted sleep.

[fallingsand]

[ Why is he apologiz... ing... oh, oh no. ]

It's. It isn't your fault or anything, I'm. I'm pretty sure. Sorry, I didn't mean to make it your problem or. Or anything like that. I'm sure I'm my own reason for it being that way, anyway?

[dreamlords]

Perhaps this will signal a change of fortune for you.

[ this place and all. ]

Or a change of misfortune all things considered.
