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.

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

See? You’re a good guy

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of people who want me dead back home though, yeah

Murderers think murder is fun. Some of them anyway. Although I guess Aurora probably wouldn’t do anything about a serial killer so maybe there’s no fun in that

For them I mean

I’m not killing anyone

what did you do back home

if you're not a serial killer

Detective.

Drug busts. That sort of thing

that's not that special

if i was going to say people want me dead i would have it be for something more personal. like i took out a president or the head of a massive cult

or because i was a serial killer

which i'm not either

Sorry to disappoint there, buddy :(

It’s not like I’m TRYING to get people to want to kill me. Just part of the job

Do you want people to want to kill you??

no. but people want to kill me when i go out on adventures because i get in their way too

or because they're crazy

i just think i would have standards for the people who could kill me or who want to kill me and how much it matters

i remember that's what we were talking about

[ Sort of. ]

Hey, hey. I got standards. Just because some weirdos might wanna kill me doesn’t mean I’m just gonna let them

They gotta earn that privilege

[ ... ]

i want to rank higher than vincent

[ That's all he wants!!! ]

Well I guess you gotta put in the work then

Come threaten me with one of your axes

But not when Connor’s around.

okay

you got it

[ But then, sending another message straight after: ]

is there anything i can't do

[ He's good at being edgy!!!! ]

Probably don’t kill me for real

[That would be very inconvenient, perhaps for the safety of Etraya.]

And don’t break my stuff

okay

i will just show you i can be threatening when i want to be

you can try doing the same if you want

You want me to.... threaten you????

What is this?? We just gonna hold sharp shit and yell at each other ???

you've never gone up against a guy with an axe??

do you need tips?

i thought we were proving our mettle?
