[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!

What's the word?

This guy's pissed a lot of people off and he probably doesn't care, but even crumbs of information still constitute information.

I'm admittedly annoyed myself, but it sounds like there isn't a lot of time to throw a tantrum.

[unalign]

There was still an attempt to help, all things considered. Even if there are other questions that remain unanswered.

[ and she's half-irked, half-exasperated by it. like she's used to people not answering questions, but really? she hasn't even asked anything yet. ]

Is it too much to ask for an actual bite than just crumbs, I wonder?

[nagano]

Yeah, assuming this isn't a trap. But I suppose that all depends on how skeptical you're taking things.

[ He sighs. Again. Feels like he's done more sighing than talking today. ]

According to the Hierarchy? Absolutely. The fact that you're even asking would probably piss that guy off if he was still actively listening to us.

Just means we're going to have to work extra hard to get the information ourselves... Well, those of us who aren't content with sitting on our hands until the next announcement will be working extra hard.

[unalign]

If I piss him off enough, I wonder if that would encourage him to show up again and say something. Maybe answer some questions ...

[ is he that type of guy? the kind who reacts when they're being talked about? hm.

if only they're given information for every sigh they sigh. she, for one, wouldn't be too miffed about that situation, if so. ]

Mm, I'm hoping to start exploring soon myself and see what I can find. Stygia seems to be the best place to start for now, and then I can move to other places.

[nagano]

Pfft. I think you'd have better odds of attracting one of his subordinates to be equally unhelpful.

[ Kaito thinks that if this asshole even gives a single damn, it's only so that he can piss the Refugees off more. ]

I had the same idea. Not for Stygia, though. My eyes are on the Labyrinth, or the islands that neighbor the city.

[unalign]

[ see, that's what she thinks too. but she had hopes!! ]

Ah, I am curious about those places too.

[ especially the things she's heard about them ... ]

I wonder if there are maps I can find ... I hear there's a library in Stygia, but I'll have to ask around where to find it.

[nagano]

Oh, I think I know what you're referring to. The city's library resides in the Serene district. Look for a greater concentration of trees. Serene is like a forest within this dreary city.

[ Yeah, a map would be useful. Maybe if he does a few more rounds he'll find a merchant selling one... Or maybe he can pen it himself.

But also the player doesn't want to give exact directions that don't exist yet. ]

I'm Kaito, by the by. I was a chef and investigator before all this happened. How 'bout you?

[unalign]

Thanks. That's one down on my list.

[ brb noting that somewhere. she knows serene, at least, with all its bunnies and nice stews. ]

I'm Lumine. I'm a traveler. It's nice to meet you.
