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.

a piece of paper told him to? what paper?

does he need more plating

Yeah, those stupid valentines that are around everywhere. Telling people to do weird shit

Accelerator’s getting him some. He definitely needs it. His exposed wiring hurts him otherwise

it's asking that too? that's weird. this valentines challenge has kinda sucked compared to other ones

that's good. if it's a health problem aurora will probably give it without paying if he needs a specific type. she didn't charge me when we were putting people back into their bodies

What were the other ones like?

[Hopefully no weird... robo babies.]

She’d do that? For free? Hmm

Does “I fell down some stairs“ count as a health problem, you think?

you swapped beads with people and got the chance to help with a mission if your bead bracelet got picked

i think "i have exposed wiring and there's no treatment for it around" counts if we have a hospital and don't charge people for medical care already

it can't hurt more than it does to ask anyway

Huh. Did it end up being one of those weird missions?

Worst she can say is no, I guess. Not like she’s gonna make it worse. Probably

[Hank didn’t want Aurora paying special attention to Connor due to his “mission,“ but she’s undoubtedly aware of his... condition.]

the mission that people helped with got hijacked by an entity of chaos, if that's what you mean

i don't actually know if people go to the hospital for medical treatment, but it would suck if she made people pay just because he's not biological

[ That would be rude!!! ]

That. Sounds like a lot

[Still weird, but at least not robo-baby weird.]

It’s less the payment thing and more worrying about..... I dunno

I don’t think Aurora would hurt Connor on purpose but I just don’t trust her

[Even on a so-called “normal” day. And now that Connor’s here, things are very much not that.]

i understand. about aurora

she would probably agree to giving the pieces to repair him at least. i don't know accelerator's set up but if he needs somewhere to be repaired, i build robots so i probably have stuff that would help?

That’s.....real nice of you to offer.

[Hank had wondered about who else they might be able to ask. About getting Connor fixed, and... everything else going on.]

Thanks. I’ll mention it to the guys. Connor’s usually pretty good about maintaining himself once he’s got the parts, but better safe than sorry

[And Connor seems prone to absolute disaster, so!!!]

it's okay. i like you enough and i have the space if it's needed. i'm also really good at smoothing out metal if he's got bumps or parts that aren't easy to fix up. if my magic works with him

and i promise i won't be weird about him

[ Even if he does always think robot types and metal constructs are k-kinda cool... h-haha... ]

[Okay, Hank is nodding along right up until the “weird“ part.]

That sounds like something Vincent would say right before he stabs a person

Like wasn’t he putting cameras up at the hospital a while back??

[Hank is teasing!! Mostly. He doesn’t think Gorgug would really be weird about Connor. Unless...?]

i heard he did that. and i would be absolutely honest about stabbing a person before i did it. you would see me do it

[ excuse him!!! ]

who did he stab?

Still trying to figure that one out, honestly. He SEEMS like the kind of person to stab someone, right???

[Hank isn’t imagining this!!]

But he told me he’s never killed a person. It felt genuine, what he was saying, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t STABBED, you know??

i don't know. i've talked to him twice but his name comes up a lot

i'll watch myself around him with knives

[ So Gorgug says in public...

...

but he's absolutely sending Hank a private inbox message which reads: ]

he's part of a crazy cult and tried to show me his "secret place" once

[Hank knew it! Knew Vincent was weird!!]

Cult thing makes sense. He’s got some interesting views on religion and penitence and everything.

Secret place though?? What the fuck. The guy swears up and down that he’s normal but he’s got some “““secret place”” huh

i think he was just moving place and wanted to get me to move his fridge for him. but he wanted me to keep it secret

[ And he isn't technically saying where it is, still. Mainly because it's never been relevant. ]

i know some people who like him so i have to play nice. it didn't sound like he did anything too bad in the cult but he's got a sketchy out for himself vibe from what i was told

but they tolerate him. not that i want to stab him or anything

[ He doesn't, he swears. ]

Did you end up moving his fridge for him

[Asking the important questions!

And Hank almost asks who likes Vincent when he realizes, tragically not for the first time: he kind of likes Vincent. In a very complicated way, like a cop who’s certain someone’s wanted in twelve states for murder but they hang out with them, anyway.

The stupid cop being Hank.]

Definitely a weird guy. To be FAIR though, he has had about a dozen chances to kill or seriously maim me but he hasn’t.

But if I weren’t useful for him, I dunno. I’ve pissed him off enough. Might be on his to-stab list

no. but i asked the bots to take it to him when he left it in the way of the path

[ Because it was in the way. And maybe because he's a sucker. ]

do you judge people by how many chances they have to stab you and don't [ jw jw ]

Sounds like him all right. Making himself into an utter nuisance to get what he wants

[But it’s kind of tolerable, okay, at least with Hank and Vincent’s dynamic.

...Like Heather said, Hank really needs friends.]

Maybe. Connor could’ve ended me about a million times too but he didn’t.

[Is there a trend here...? No, couldn’t be...]

i could too. i have axes

am i a danger too

[ Can he be, more like.

He wants to be cool too, Hank. ]

I mean. Do you WANT to kill me??

Vincent’s a weirdo who probably dreams about murder. Connor’s an android programmed to kick my ass if I get in the way of his mission

vincent sounded like a coward who doesn't like getting his hands dirty when people talked about him to me

i just think a lot of us could be killing each other and don't and that includes me

i can be a jerk too

[ He's not just a big nice guy!!!! ]

[Oh, the things Hank could tell Gorgug if he 1. hadn’t sort of promised Vincent he wouldn’t, and 2. didn’t want Gorgug to think he is also a weirdo. Not the murder sort of weird!!]

Do you long for murder, Gorgug

Do you long to murder me, specifically

That is fair though. Like why isn’t there more murder here

Edited 2025-02-28 12:37 (UTC)

[ Maybe he doesn't want to admit that he's feeling left out!! Because he knows it's stupid!! ]

i can pretend to if that's the way people are where you come from

but personally i like that we have better things to do. why would we want to murder each other here
