⏵ CHIRPER ⏴Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:

Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

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.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

I'm jealous of that manual.

You should be. It's a beauty.

But I might be willing to loan it to other responsible nerds.

Edited 2025-06-11 21:36 (UTC)

I'm a very responsible nerd.

Good!
You got anything this nerd might like to check out in return?

Which is not a requirement, but I do love getting to read more stuff.

Book or otherwise? I haven't found any books outside of the library, but I have found some pretty unusual stuff in STAR labs.

STAR labs? Don't think I've visited that place yet.

[He probably swung by on patrol, but it was in passing, and nobody needs to know that.]

It's a neat place, from one nerd to another. If you ever come by, let me know, I can give you a tour. I don't know who brought this place in, it was abandoned when I got here. I've done what I can to clean it up.

Edited (what if i hated all my word choices) 2025-06-17 17:59 (UTC)

I would LOVE a tour.
There's honestly not enough time in the day to be a massive nerd.
Someone must've been here and vanished, but the building stayed?
That seems to happen sometimes.

Edited 2025-06-18 19:36 (UTC)

Seems to be the case. It's also massive- there shouldn't be this many rooms. Even stranger: there's a few rooms I can't find a door to.

Ohhhh, that sounds kinda fun.
Maybe it's like an escape room, but backwards. You gotta figure your way IN.

Less escape room and more just “breaking and entering,” isn’t it?

... Breaking and entering is a gray area in this occasion.
I mean, nobody lives there, right?

...

Right?

I guess Viktor and I are the closest to "living" there, and I think we should go for it.

Then lets go for it! And we can do some science while we're at it.

As a treat.

What kind do you tinker with? Because the equipment here is fairly specific.

Oh, you know...
A little of this, a little of that.
I worked with some pretty advanced technology under my Stark Internship.
Robotics and nanotechnology, coding and artificial intelligence
you name it, I might've done it.

[!!!!!]

Oh! That's perfect! You're exactly the kind of person I've been looking for!

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

It is? I am? You were?

[for what is the question, he must know]

I am! I'm looking to do a project involving nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. I've been working on coding but I've only got a few months of experience in it now, and you sound like you've had much more than that.

How about you to come to S.T.A.R. labs now, if you have a few hours? Easier to show you my whiteboards than explain it all over text.

Were you planning to extend the same invitation to me?

[ do not coerce an impressionable 18-year-old into helping you without supervision, Jayce. you do not count as supervision ]

[Ah, fuck.]

Didn't know you wanted an invite that badly, Harold.

This is no slight to Mr. Parker, but I am reluctant to let a recent high school graduate work on such a delicate project without close supervision.

I'll be there ASAP!

[Perhaps surprisingly fast, for how long travel usually takes around here.

It's fine. But before that-]

And I promise I've got more credentials than high school! 😖

[He just. Doesn't explain that he was a superhero who worked with all kinds of crazy shit. It's fine. He'll tell everyone sooner or later. Probably.]

Edited 2025-07-07 20:02 (UTC)

I believe your credentials. But I'm sorry, Peter; unless Harold's around, I guess I'm not allowed to talk shop with you. I didn't know he was your guardian.

[Intentional phrasing? Absolutely. He's not above it.]

Guardian?????????
I don't have a guardian!
I'm a legal adult!
