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.
[ He grunted softly, a hm that sounded dissatisfied. Not at the suggestion, but because she's right. ]
How altruistic of us.
[ He could. He doesn't want to. Silco's used to Zaun, with dark streets and free reign. Here, they're adjusting to doing things by their rules. It feels like he's trying to make them be palatable to topsiders, or the equivalent of it.
But she's right because they're all like this here. Living easy lives, being handed food and everything else they could need. There's no desperation, nothing to tap into.
So they have to think like topsiders, do they? Of course they do. ]
We need something to make them know it exists. Want it.
[ His fingers drum against the desk. ]
It can still be addictive, if taken enough. We'll increase the dosage.
[ Just recreating Purdue Pharma over here i guess??? ]
Vander? Talis, Kiramman, that new Viktor guy? Or just about any of these heroic types this place seems to love having around.
[ Etraya seemed to be a magnet for that behavior, although that was hardly her only concern. ]
People are going to be wary of it even without them. Shimmer won't be like anything they're used to. We should start out small. Use the normal dosage until it's no longer considered a new thing here.
[ A scoff. ] I'm aware of the Pilties and our unfortunate traitors.
[ The Double-Vs, Viktor and Vander. ]
Just like any medication, Sevika, it can be abused. I do not disagree that they should be eased into it, however... What they purchase...
[ A shrug. ] That isn't our purview, is it? If one chooses to do otherwise, that is on them.
We will already be trying for the medicinal variant. That will keep them off our backs enough — particularly the topsiders — when it doesn't do what they say it does. When it helps.
[ Sevika pursed her lips, clearly not happy with that response but also not unhappy enough to argue further. Whatever her thoughts are, she won't offer further insight into them. If he wants to make the gamble, she'll have to figure out how to work with it, same as always. ]
I know all of that. It isn't me that needs the convincing. Just keep in mind that we're the only support we have until we do prove it helps.
[ That puts their argument off for now, at least, and Sevika's glad to let it go. They would be fighting over the potential, not the reality, and that may as well be meaningless. ]
We already have attention on us.
[ Does she really have to say it...? ]
Try to can the public fighting with Vander already, will you? Between that and Jinx being herself, it's going to be unavoidable now. If you two want to snap and bark at each other, do it in private.
[ Sevika will just give a nod. There, that's settled (until it's not). ]
Right. I'm planning on hitting up the junkyard they have here to see what I can scavenge. This place is mostly put together, but there's plenty that needs fixing still.
[ ...something she had requested. Silco would have been suspicious of something in perfect shape. Jinx would be bored without something to work on. ]
[ One bottle of whiskey, which will appear alongside something relatively edible once she returns. Until then, she just gives him a nod and gets to her feet. With nothing else left to discuss, she takes her leave. ]

Sir, with all due respect, they're going to notice if we do that.
no subject
Who are you concerned is going to notice us? I need names.

We'll table it until we have the proper facilities.
[ He says. They're without support other than the two of them, and Jinx. Who can be fairweather at best. ]
Whatever it is, we'll need to keep them from getting wind of it until we move. Which means... [ An annoyed snort. ]
We need to keep the attention off of us.

And let him make that little foundation I know he's trying to build unchecked?
[ see, there is a purpose!! It's not just for self-satisfaction of yelling. (is it??) ]
no subject
[ Make a damn choice, Silco. ]
no subject
Fine, you've made your point.
[ what he wants is for Vander to vanish from reality, die again so he doesn't have to deal with him.
Silco is never going to be afforded that sort of luxury, is he? ]
no subject
Right. I'm planning on hitting up the junkyard they have here to see what I can scavenge. This place is mostly put together, but there's plenty that needs fixing still.
[ ...something she had requested. Silco would have been suspicious of something in perfect shape. Jinx would be bored without something to work on. ]
Anything you need me to pick up while I'm out?
no subject
Hm. Well, it wouldn't be a place for people like us, if it wasn't.
[ Proving yet again, that Sevika did understand it.
Besides, if it needed work, then it wasn't comfortable.
He waved a hand, dismissing her. ]
We're almost out of whiskey, you may as well bring a bottle back while you're out.
[ Because your BOSS just sits there and CHAINSMOKES and DRINKS ]
