⏵ 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.

do you think someone would try and stop me if i did?

imagine someone reading through every conversation just to see if a guy says he's going to put a bomb somewhere tomorrow

they could talk about the big creepy message sitting outside the city instead

There are absolutely people reading through every conversation just to know what we're all up to. Trust me on that one.

[ ...and she doubts it's only Silco. ]

Ok, but yeah, actually, how about we talk about that? Time's up according to those dashes, isn't it?

yeah. no more dashes have gone on it since it got crossed out

i guess we're all waiting to see what happens next?

Something bad. That message wasn't meant to put us at ease. Has no one noticed anything out of the ordinary at all?

if they have no one's sharing it

maybe they don't want to share their methods publicly either

Just means we all have to prepare separately, I guess. It'd be a good time for everyone to invest in a weapon or two.

that could help

hopefully people are taking the banner seriously in the first place to think about that

but good luck if things go to shit

Assuming everyone knows about it or even recalls it was there. A lot happened on the train.

and they probably think they can't do anything about it

or they think someone else with an actual idea of what to do might speak up first

So no one is actually go to do anything and everyone thinks someone else will meaning we're all about to be caught off-guard. Fantastic.

maybe someone will speak up in a couple of days. honestly, the best i can think to say is "so what about that sign?"

kind of why i haven't said anything. but it feels like someone would, right?

[ Like an adult??? ]

Great. Here I thought being the responsible one was something I could leave at home. Hang on.

Well fuck. We have a bite.

[ ...let her fumble with pasting a link to her other post. Just a second, and. There. ]

[ Oh.

--Oh. Did this happen recently? shit. That pseudonym, though. Didn't he see it on Chirper? That Connor used it.

Sevika uses their thread, but Gorgug sends her a message privately, directly to her inbox: ]

catdog

what should we do?

[ Her chat with Hank had already been extremely public on purpose, but Gorgug going private with this message was a smart move.

Well, that's two... ]

We need to work on the assumption that every new person after the train is part of this. What to do is trickier. Could be we reach out to this guy direct and see if he's willing to talk. Could be doing that makes him dig deeper into hiding.

i know hank. i can ask him if i can be there to talk to connor? we should know what's going on sooner than later in case the people involved do something. or people who try and go after them

i'm not really good at questions but i'm younger? so i might seem safe. i know he's protective of connor

[ Not that he's good at figuring what's best in social interactions, ever. ]

Depends. You strong enough to keep me from caving both their heads in if I don't like what I hear?

[ ~~the answer is yes but look she doesn't know what half-orcs are~~ ]

if you're a human like i know them, i can take some pretty good hits. i'm front line in a fight

[ He doesn't want to presume!!! Ever. But he shall risk it...! ]

Good enough for me.

[ Welcome to the gang (temporarily). ]

I'm going to finish checking the hospital for any extra nasty surprises, and then I'll set up something with Hank. Shouldn't take long. Maybe reach out to him to put his nerves to rest some?

okay, i will. if we want to set up surveillance around the hospital for a while, i can send some out. but aurora's got her bots.

[ So, hopefully they'll play guard. ]

we need to figure out if they came through the hospital or by a weak spot in the barrier

Her bots let a man walk in and steal a whole-ass harddrive. Anything would be better than those things.

[ That seems important? Like people shouldn't be able to? Wait— ]

WHAT weak spot in the barrier?

[ Well, they did let him 'borrow' some harddrives too..... ]

a space ship crashed into the barrier and there were broken panels. someone found one but they said it got fixed?

but maybe they didn't

Great.

[ It is not. ]

We'll have to ask Aurora that one. She should be keeping track of the people she nabs for this stupid place.

maybe we should too. we're not really good at sharing information. i'm not either

it's hard to know who to trust. we just find our groups and work that way

but i don't know how to change that

[ Or if it's possible. ]

It's natural not to share outside your own crew. Just how people are. I wish I could say there was an easy answer to getting outside of that, but there isn't.
