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!

（ if his time was at that much of a premium, he could have gotten his point across in far fewer words. colour her! unimpressed! sakura: dealing with assholes for far too much of a barely-nineteen-year-old life. so, she addresses the population at large instead, her tone is brusque and possessed of a confidence that belies her age. ）

Soulmates and hierarchies aside...

（ she says, tone dry in a way that deserts would envy, ）

— if anyone finds themselves needing medical assistance, my name is Haruno Sakura, and I'm a doctor. If you're stranded in the Shadowlands, I can come to you. Otherwise, find me at the docks in Stygia. Look after yourselves out there, and let's worry about the rest as it comes.

（ reassurance? on the heels of someone being a dick? also yes. 😌 ）

[ What a kind person! Rachel can't help but smile as the new person works hard to undo the silence that had threatened to stretch after the strange man spoke. ]

Oh, but doesn't it sound a little interesting? Soulmates...its quite the concept.

[ A pause, and then Rachel remembers she should probably add something else! ]

Oh, but I don't need medical assistance. Thank you for the offer, but I can't pay you, after all!

W-wait, what? Was that like... the president of Stygia or... something?

[ Look, Bruno's only vaguely aware of this weird purgatory power structure or government or whatever it is. He just knows it exists in that fancy place none of them can go, okay? ]

[She just hits the first button that appears when the call comes through. Though she did almost throw her phone across the room first.]

To hell with that! I'm self-reliant enough already.

[She don't need no soulmate.]

[ and here she's hoping she'd get answers. very archon-like, ngl. she's so glad she's used to non-answering folks. ]

There's a term to describe a person like you in another world I was in ...

I'm sure it's very interesting, but it's not something I'd suggest that people newly arrived, traumatized and uprooted commit themselves to upon arrival. As long as no one's survival is in immediate question, it shouldn't hurt to be a bit less — urgent, about it.

（ h-ha it's not like she's looking off wistfully in the direction of sasuke's chakra signature or anything—!! ）

And, ah... it's not about money. Medical care is an essential service that everyone deserves to have access to. You aren't injured, are you?

（ because now she is SUSPICIOUS!! ）

Rat bastard...

[It's hissed out. She was not impressed with the 'advice' they just got.]

Seriously? This has gotta be some kind of joke

I can't be the only one who thinks this looks like a dating app or smth.

[ Has he been sheltered? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean he lives under a rock. He went to high school, and now he's in desperate need of someone to just verify that no, he's not insane. ]

Oh, so you're not into that kind of romance...

[ The girls voice on the other end of the line almost sounds disappointed No fairytale princes for you? Well, that's probably a good thing. Saviors are overrated, and Rachel can at least respect someone else's independence. It'll make things more difficult but... ]

Don't be so worried. I just don't like to be in anyone's debt, miss.

[ So promise it for free, and maybe she'll get herself injured for you! ]

Edited 2022-10-02 01:49 (UTC)

Useless.

[ that's it. thank you, mods/npcs for your hard work. ]

Well fuck off to you too, asshole! I've been alone for a long time, this isn't any different. I can take care of myself!

[Kainé has no idea what a dating app or tinder is, so she might just fill it out for curiosities sake, without expecting a reply.]

Edited 2022-10-02 02:12 (UTC)

wow this guy sounds like he's super fun to have at parties

[ Is she trying to get on his bad side right out the gate? Probably not. Is she going to anyway? Jury's out on that one... ]

—no, wait, wait, wait!

Oh, that's just... that's just... just perfect. You know that autocracy is, like, a pretty "last season" way to run a government body, right? Democracy is so hot right now. Voting, right?

...

Right, man?

...

(thirty seconds later:)

Hey, anyone know where I can get a pack of cigarettes?

Mm, I don't think that's it. Nothing close to what I was thinking of.

[ she just can't put a finger on it, tbh. also, rat bastard? ]

What's a dating app?

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

The words of a ruler...

[ ugh. ]

Edited 2022-10-02 02:02 (UTC)

I didn't say that.

（ hopeless romantic thy name is... ）

I just don't think it should be a priority at the moment.

（ look, she loves the entire concept of love, but. relationship status with romantic feelings: it's complicated. ）

Your feelings are understandable, but if it's life or death then debt shouldn't matter one way or another. If you do ever need help, just ask, all right?

Hm...but he might bring an air of mystery? Isn't that something common at fancy balls?

[ Rachel still kind of wants to suck up to the rich and powerful so she's trying not to type more then that. but also yeah wow what a jerk! Talk more about how awful he was! ]

[He's a bastard and rats taste bad. Double bad, it made perfect sense.]

What'd you call him then?

Haruno Sakura, huh? Fujiwara Hibiki, nice to meet you, even if I wish it wasn't because of something like, you know... all of this. [ She's gesturing around her but it's not like Sakura can tell on her end. ]

A doctor, huh? That's gotta be rough considering everything, hopefully the whole being dead thing doesn't make treating people any different from what you're used to.

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

But if you think about it, to find your soulmate, wouldn't you have to search for a person and possibly go out with them?

[ js, not that she's looking for one either. ]

Maybe? I dunno, I've dealt with guys like this before and they love making themselves sound way more important than they actually are. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[ The amount of 🤷‍♀️ in her voice is through the roof. ]

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

i'm pretty sure this is a tinder knock off
