npc || amun [ @ hierarchy ]
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. )
► 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!

maybe one I have a good handle on that??
but do they have to call them soulmates though, it feels so cliche........
no subject
I mean, I do believe in love at first sight, but still...
And you're right! I just died, can't I know more about that first?
This is a lot to take in! 😧
no subject
I'm glad there are still people out there who believe in stuff like that
and it's SO MUCH to take in!
I don't even know what I should be asking right now
I'm definitely not putting myself up on that wannabe dating app
nope. I didn't mess with those when I was alive and I'm not going to now that I'm dead!!
no subject
I'm not even sure how many of us are in this situation.
But it would be better if we could all meet up in person somewhere, wouldn't it?
no subject
I make a point to avoid dating apps on principle, but maybe I'll poke around and see who I can meet
speaking of!!
I'm Hibiki, nice to meet you, fellow confused individual! :)
no subject
I'm Lady Rudbeckia de Borgia.
But it's okay to just call me Ruby!
no subject
that's the younger of the two? or maybe I'm just completely wrong
but I'm a young woman!
anyway, it's nice to meet you, Ruby!
is that Italian? Spanish?
no subject
Could I just call you Hibiki? I think it would be nice to speak a little more comfortably to people around my age, since everything else here is so strange and scary...
[ she almost says it's Italian and then catches herself because oops fuck she has to think historically!!! ]
And well, I am from the Italia peninsula. But there's no such language as Italian, really?
It's Romagnan. I lived in the Vatican City, in Romagna.
no subject
Romagnan? Romagna? maybe that's just a regional name?
I've never heard of either of those before
sorry if this is a weird question, but the place you're from
it's on Earth? or somewhere else??
no subject
Really? Romagna has been around for a long time... It's part of the State of the Church. Towards the centre of the Italia peninsula?
And it's on Earth, of course.
Wait are there people from places other than Earth?!
no subject
maybe a different one?
ugh this is getting even more confusing.........
and yes! if you look at the app there are a few different places
I haven't poked around much but I was really surprised!!
no subject
Some of these are really strange...
I wonder how we all ended up here in the same place?
no subject
and I don't have a clue. it's been kinda cool seeing the different places
but it feels a little lonely too, you know?
like you aren't sure if you're gonna run into anyone from where you're from or not
no subject
Um
It was 1498 for me.
I guess... you wouldn't want to run into anyone you know, though?
Because it means they'd be...
[ you know. ]
no subject
that
might explain why I've never heard of Romagna
I'm so sorry, this must be really jarring for you!
maybe I can try to answer some future questions for you??
you can tell me all about the past!
no subject
To be honest, I can't even imagine how much would have changed in 500 years...
I mean, my whole country doesn't exist anymore?
I know it doesn't mean anything here, but I guess I'm not the princess of anywhere...
[ ugh. how long is she going to have to pretend to be sad about this? ]
I think she means she's a queen
SERIOUSLY???!!?
[ Oh my god she's in the presence of royalty and she didn't even know?! That is sO FREAKING COOL!! ]
queen who sits a throne of LIES.....
Yes! Sort of?
See, my father is the Pope, so he leads the State of the Church which is the country's supreme authority.
Really I'm only considered a real princess in Romagna!
My brothers both have positions in the church, but women can't join the clergy, so I'm the only one who inherited that kind of title...
still a queen tho
wait
are you serious, women aren't allowed to join?
that's so messed up like
OH NO WE HAD A DAUGHTER LET'S TAKE AWAY ANY WAY FOR HER TO MOVE UP THE SOCIAL LADDER
I'd be so pissed if I was you!!!
no subject
I don't think it's bad... It's just the way things have always been?
A princess is very high on the social ladder too...
But I could gain a title through marriage, of course.
no subject
in 1498 maybe
and it's all well and good if that's what you wanna do
but you shouldn't have to tie yourself down just to move up in the world
there are so many badass ladies in my time that would have N E V E R stood for that
and honestly you're not there anymore
so!
if you had a choice, would you want to get married and have your status tied to a man
or
would you want to carve out your own place in the world
hypothetically speaking of course
no subject
Um
Get married?
no subject
which is fine if that's something you want to do
what's something you enjoy doing? something that makes you happy?
no subject
Oh, and there's this new trend among nobles called ballet! I really like that a lot.
no subject
you'll have to sing for me sometime, I'd love to hear!
maybe we can do a duet sometime 🎵
