etraya | CHIRPER

⏵ CHIRPER ⏴Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways characters can interact with this:

Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional.
When forms are not filled out, they are filled out by the companion bots of Etraya! This means that while the character themself is not choosing to play with CHIRPER, their player still can.
Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them.
Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled!

This is just a fun little way of expanding CR. For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Once characters' profiles are up, other characters will be given the option of giving them a "like" or a "dislike" (using ✓ and ✕ symbols in the subject line of the comment) but they can also provide an answer as to why they gave that answer! Or just respond to the contents of their profile, +1ing the fact that if Barnabas were to get laid more often, maybe he would be less of a sourpuss.

Damn, you're older than I thought.

[ Give him a moment to process. ]

I'd guess this is another stab at "team-building".

"Team-building" is such a quaint term, and yet we've not been officially placed in any teams. I suppose Aurora just wants to keep us busy.

Wouldn't surprise me. But also, have you read the old network posts?

People have been grouped up before, either to work together or compete against others. Didn't see much of a pattern to it though.

Why would I need to go through those? I have better things to do than spend hours upon hours reading old chatter.

It's one of the few sources of information we have, but suit yourself.

So what are you, anyway?

[ It doesn't occur to him as potentially rude to ask. Priyet's a werebeast. Levania's a dream-eater. Someone so long-lived can't be human, if he meant it. ]

It's too early to tell what I am yet, given I'm still young, everything considered. However, if I did know of it at some point, I forgot.

Hell of a thing to forget.

[ But fair enough. He's not going to lose sleep over it. ]

But I've seen something like that, once or twice.

At a certain point, it will not matter.

When faced with eternity, what use is quibbling over small details like age or species?

someone thought we needed social media where we talk with each other or something and now aurora is running it

[ Or the bots? Whoever. ]

I will not even pretend to understand what you just said.

okay

Were you speaking an entirely different language, I wonder.

shouldn't you know that much

Which is unhelpful, really. I deem you to be saying irrelevant things, at least.

Edited 2025-02-25 16:46 (UTC)

you literally asked. it was relevant to your question

And you came in with words that make absolutely no sense. What is social media? Why is it relevant? A basic need? Why is it a need compared to the sort of mailboxes we already have? What's so wrong about speaking face-to-face?

What kind of stories do you like?

Nothing about heroism or romance. I prefer stories with more excitement, without the boring, drab endings about triumphing over evil that humans so enjoy.

you'd like pirate stories then, not all of them have happy endings for all.

Pirate? Those who sail the seas but distinguish themselves from the vikings?

Yup!

I think.

I don't know what a viking is.

Seafaring nomads. Not unlike pirates, but they do more than simply sail. They look for opportunities inland as well.

They sound like a cool type of people!

I guess pirates don't stop sailing, I hadn't thought about that.

I do not remember much about the vikings, so I cannot tell you more about them.
