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. 😌 ）

Edited 2022-10-02 01:13 (UTC)

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 ...

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. ]

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?

The words of a ruler...

[ ugh. ]

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

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

I suppose you can't expect a king to do everything.
Everyone else is looking at the responses here, right?
Have any of you done this soulmates thing yet...?

Ah, thrown to the wolves? It's like I've never left home.

[ A pause. ] Kind of them to throw us a... dating tool, on top of it. Lucky us.

What exactly is this. thing I hold?!

What the hell is a dating app?!

It's a long story, but my name is Marius Titus, 14th Legion Centurion. I was from Rome.

Edited 2022-10-02 02:50 (UTC)

...I could have gone my entire life not having to know about this.

What a pain in the ass.

I'll take anyone who can play some kind of board game over a soulmate.

How do we delete mistakes
It’s not working for me

[ someone went ham ]

hey
the rest of you
take a break from complaining for a minute and answer this
what is a soulmate

How are soulmates supposed to help us? We're already dead, according to you people. [ she's decided to brazenly group him in with the reapers. why? convenience for her outrage. ] Are we going to die more?

Edited 2022-10-02 04:33 (UTC)

Big words.

Let's see if you have the actions to back it up.

[ignoring the second part]

[ so

wait. ]

which is it
practice self-reliance or find a soulmate

[ second seems counterproductive to the first. ]

The king of dead people or something asking us to take out a notice full of information about ourselves to the whole city or else feel a little suspicious to anyone else?

Edited 2022-10-02 07:49 (UTC)

[DAD?

So sarcastic, so ironic. So utterly tired.]

I suppose you all sound the same regardless.

[ oh, wonderful. he's heard people like this before. maybe he's even sounded like this before but that doesn't count because this isn't him. ]

Soulmates don't exist.

[ said the old man with a chip on his shoulder. ]

Well.
I certainly feel assured.
