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.

Hello. My name is Aurora. My duty is to oversee your comfort and the daily workings of Etraya, as well as provide information for upcoming missions.
[Hmmm, okay. Jokey-flirting over text is apparently a no-go; too much chance of a tone misread. She swaps over to audio, and making sure there's enough lightness injected into her tone to combat its natural deadpan.]
Dude, wear whatever you want; it's fine. No overthinking, remember? See you in an hour.
[More or less an hour later, Shaw does indeed show up in a black cocktail dress (though it's unembellished and not overly fancy, so at least she doesn't stick out like a sore thumb). Unless she spots Eddie elsewhere, she'll head straight to the bar area. This place isn't bad, she decides - cheesy exterior decor aside.]
( eddie shows up in a clean button-down and nice slacks, which feels not too sloppy, but not overly classy, either. and the fact that they're clean is also saying a lot, considering.
since all their interactions have been confined to the network, he's yet to see her face. still, 5'2", compact, muscular, dressed up, and bored makes it pretty easy to spot her at the bar and take a seat beside her. )
Uh, Sameen? Eddie. Glad you found the place alright.
[Bored though she may be, she at least doesn't look bored to be here; she tosses him a smile as he sits down, small and quick but easy enough. Usually she's fine to let her naturally flat affect fly when she's meeting new people, and if they're turned off by it, then so be it - but she knows how these things go, and meeting someone for drinks means putting in a different kind of effort.]
What are you drinking tonight? Feel like splitting a bottle of scotch?
( if it helps, chances are eddie wouldn't be especially turned off by anything less than her natural self, but that's one of those things people learn in time. eddie, too, is putting his best foot forward by wearing cologne and doing his best to not fidget with the coaster before him. )
Guess I could've guessed that someone who disarms bombs and habitually makes civilians cry during class ins't going for the Appletini menu. Hell, let's do it.
( this feels a bit like small talk, but he’s committing himself to Not Overthinking, so he’s deciding to let himself enjoy it.
when the robot whirs over to them, he ask for a bottle of scotch two glasses. he really enunciates each word, just in case the bot comes back with a bottle of glass and two rolls of scotch tape instead. )
Trying to take our time with it, though. So it can be, you know… stable. You really wanna help?
[Shaw grimaces; there are, apparently, limits to her Going For Drinks transformation, and she really needs to properly convey her ambivalence here. But then she smoothly moves back into another faint smile as she twists her stool to face him, resting an elbow on the bar counter.]
Mm, that depends. Can I handpick the least annoying students?

The Maxim in 20?
( no time like the present, right? )
no subject
20 means I'm coming in my workout clothes instead of changing first
no subject
( eddie's not in a rush. more time might be better; he needs time to give venom The Talk. )

[Thank you Etraya and your free clothing stores.]

40? Is 40 minutes the happy medium?
no subject
Dude, wear whatever you want; it's fine. No overthinking, remember? See you in an hour.

I did warn you. Drinks, underthinking, or being smart - you get one of the three... and it looks like you're choosing drinks.
( which, you know, he'd also choose. he sounds bright over audio, kind. )
See you soon.

Seems like you haven't been so hard-up that you've needed my services yet.
