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!

voice - un: talis

[deushexmachina]

So, [a brutal exhale,] not to diminish the pressure of finding a soulmate, but I'm thinking we'll need to organize regardless.

un: daughter-sea

[seaboard]

... Agreed. It is clear we shall be left to our means in these lands.

[deushexmachina]

[His voice warms, the smile evident,] You're right. All the more reason to — well, hi. I'm Jayce. From, uh, House Talis.

[seaboard]

[ Oh, he is polite as well as planning ahead. ]

Well met, Jayce of House Talis. I am Queen Gilia, Second-Child of the Sea-Father, of the Isle St. Loe, She Who Sings the Ocean to Prosperity and the Endless Wail.

It is a pleasure to meet someone who is of a like mind.

[ Unlike the apparent ruler of this place. ]

[deushexmachina]

[The impact of her words staggers him; he's never met a queen before, only read of them in books about the lands beyond Piltover.]

Wow, [he says, genuinely a little breathless,] that is a stunning title. [His mind alights with curiosity, he struggles to keep his tongue behaved. And luckily his new instinct for politics takes the reins.] The pleasure is mutual, Queen Gilia, I'm honored by your company. I'm feeling that we're already better off with you on our side — although, condolences, of course, for being put in this situation at all.

Re: un: daughter-sea

[sonofrome]

Hello, stranger.

un: lark

[appeale]

Do you think we should all meet up somehow? It would be nice to be able to recognise everyone who recently arrived at the very least, so we can help each other out...

[deushexmachina]

I think that's a great idea. I can't say I'd be the best judge of... where is suitable enough. I've made enough bad decisions. Maybe you'd have better insight? Not to put any pressure on, I mean.

[appeale]

Oh, I wouldn't be any better...!

[ she laughs, nervous. ]

Um, well... I wonder how many of us there are to begin with. If there's not a lot, then we could just meet by the docks, but if it's a lot of us, we might need somewhere with more space...

[deushexmachina]

A fair point; I'm not sure about the sample size, either. Every time I think I have a decent measure, I see more people using this network. I like the idea of beginning with the docks — it's accessible, even if we have to relocate.

I'm Jayce by the way.

[terraria]

We needn't do everything chronologically. ( a gusty sigh comes from the other end, aspen brushing his silver hair away from his face. he purses his lips and looks straight forward, intent and intense. ) You are right. If we're to be self-sufficient, we're going to have to make a stable community. Right now, some of us don't even have stable roofs over our heads.

Miss Sakura has already offered medical aid, and I can help with that. What else, then?

[invinciblemikey]

One step at a time. We don't even fucking know each other yet.

[deushexmachina]

I'd certainly like to get to know you. As a start. We'll call that step one?

oops; un. mikey

[invinciblemikey]

Two-way street. Who are you?

[deushexmachina]

Jayce Talis. It's, [he pauses,] refreshing in some way, when no one here knows who I am.

voice (un: silco)

[zauneyete]

What would organizing look like, to you, hm?

[deushexmachina]

[Wow. No mistaking that name.]

Probably without you involved, I guess.

[zauneyete]

[ You cannot expect a man of his age to be clever when it asked for his name... ]

Exclusionary as always, I see. I don't know what I expected.

[deushexmachina]

You'll have to forgive my manners, I'm not in the best of mindsets now. I'd only just secured the vote with the Council to your terms, and now I'm... here.

un: bloodrose

[immortalrose]

…What do you mean by organize? [His question is nothing more than a whisper.] We all hail from different realms, some more different than the next.

The only commonality we share is the crisis before we and panic make poor comfort.

[deushexmachina]

Well — inconsolably true, yes. We're from variant worlds it seems, with diverse perspectives. And I think that's a resource in of itself. You think I'm being too optimistic?

[immortalrose]

Not exactly but then again, I'm a pessimist at heart.

[While he views himself as old and bitter at this point, there's still a hint of optimism left in him. Just a little bit.]

But what good is to be had from our diverse backgrounds? Our perspectives alone won't help us understand our current plight.

un: sunsummoner

[sunmon]

Why?

[ it's not like they can all bum rush the gates of hell, right? ]

[deushexmachina]

[Not a question he anticipated, as evidenced by his stunned hesitance. He recovers:] Okay, fair question. I thought it might be good to pool resources, if we're acting as one body. Honestly I'm used to dealing with a lot of committees.

[sunmon]

Let me guess: you were in the army.

[ it's the sort of thing an officer would suggest, she thinks, but only because ravka's government doesn't use committees, and ketterdam is too far away. ]
