netherwork | 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!

What's a dating app?

[ Things that absolutely do not exist in The Tower = That ]

You're not trolling are you

Um. No?

It's an app for dating. A phone app? You've got tons of apps on your phone rn if you look, this kind's just for meeting people or w/e

actually, i was wondering too.

Idk I can't tell if it's more likely that half the people I'm running into are lying or that they seriously haven't used a phone before

ive never seen a machine like this that still worked

[ ... well now he just sounds insensitive. Let him try and fail to walk this back. ]

Oh. So by "wondering" you weren't wondering if she was trolling too, you were wondering what a dating app was smh

Do you know what apps are?

[ now that he points out the ambiguity of her comment, mavis feels like she needs to go take a nap. why is socializing like this??? having to be so careful with words just to make sure people don't take the wrong meaning. 💀 she's not used to it and she does Not Like It ]

no
why would i lie about this?

[ maybe it seems preemptively defensive, but now she knows what his thinking on all this is, so it seems reasonable to point it out in advance if it's going to get her an answer faster. ]

[ Okay, he feels properly chided. Let's try this again. ]

Idk why is anything happening here? I've met a couple people here messing with others for no reason, or things going crazy just bc

It's not like it's personal. Just look at your phone for a sec, you've got a chat window open to me but on the main screen there's lots of little pics right?

i see the pictures

[ it's overwhelming and she tried to ignore as many as possible tbh ]

Cool each of those is an app

Just means application, which is a program that does w/e it's designed to do. Some apps are for messaging like we're doing, some are for taking pics, some are like puzzles to entertain people

Am I losing you yet?

no
im not stupid
i just havent used a machine like this

I don't think you're stupid ftr

Ftr = for the record

I'm saying it BC you haven't used this before so it's probably a lot (bc = because)

You got a name?

mavis
why arent you just writing out the words the first time

Bc it's faster to type them this way and now yk (yk = you know) what I'm saying so I don't have to explain it twice

it isnt faster to read them when if i have to check them all against a list

I've given you like four to memorize

Those are freebies, use them yourself to save time lol people will know what they mean.

you gave me more you just didn't explain them
trolling, smh, lol, idk, sec, w/e

Trolling isn't even an abbreviation? W/e I can explain it (see it gets used a lot, worth learning)

[ Yeah, used a lot by HIM. ]

W/e = whatever
Smh = shake/shaking my head
Lol = laugh out loud, but people use it to say smth's funny or just as a filler, it doesn't mean a lot
Idk = I don't know
Sec = second

Trolling is like lying online/over text, but usually bc you want to get a reaction out of somebody or a whole lot of people.
