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!

yk what, I did. I absolutely did. I deserved it.

[zauneyete]

See? That's on you, and therefore, I won't feel guilty for making the joke.

[ It was a dad joke. He won't admit it though. ]

[coherer]

(oh, was it ever. source: his own father's jokes. just terrible.)

Now that I've aged a decade, what's your world like?

You said you had trouble before where you're from.

[zauneyete]

Dark, dingy, and poor. I lived underground.

[ Oh, but he loved it. He loved Zaun enough to put his entire life into it -- perhaps poorly, perhaps in a way that didn't work, but he'd done it. Silco had always simply needed a balance, and unfortunately... ]

Yours?

[coherer]

Underground?? Jesus that sounds rough. Do you get any sunlight??

None of our world's cities are underground, I don't think that'd be all that possible architecturally (currently anyway).... there's some cave systems where ppl built crazy stuff like catacombs or whatever though. Other than that we're all piled onto the surface. Like 7 billion ppl.

[zauneyete]

Of course we did. We aren't moles.

You have... quite a bit more people, I would guess. Not that I have census numbers of anything beyond my own city.

[ Which. Of course he had that. Of course he did.

Wait, didn't he run a bar? ]

[coherer]

Like ik what "underground" means to you. I think of underground as like UNDERGROUND. Rock for ceilings, etc.

Some parts of Earth have population problems so yeah it's pretty densely packed. My country and the surrounding countries are doing okay though.

[zauneyete]

Parts of Zaun are. It has multiple layers, and the deepest parts of the Sump see no light at all. Then there are the mines...

Trust me, there's places with no sun, but it's not like I've never seen it.

[coherer]

It sounds difficult. I mean I think I get it a little bit, I'm from a p rough town, but it's nothing like you're describing.

It's hard to picture it.

[zauneyete]

It's a shame. The place I come from is underground, yes, but there's nothing like it, anywhere else on Runeterra.

I can't imagine it's anything like your world, either. Especially if there are...that many people.

[ It's an. Astronomical number. ]

[coherer]

Yeah, like anywhere there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad. idk if the scales are tipping in the favour of "good" but yk it is what it is.

I wonder what a purely good world would even look like lmao. Like nothing probably

[zauneyete]

Boring, obviously.

[coherer]

LMAO yeah that's better than my guess. Don't really have to meditate on that one.

[zauneyete]

Exactly.

Well, this has been...illuminating. I'd recommend you go looking for those cigarettes soon.

[coherer]

Yeah preferably before I start climbing the walls.

I'll see you around Mr. Silco
