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, or by other characters on behalf of their friends! This includes the Q&A section.
• Characters can either like or dislike others' CHIRPER profiles. These responses are public.
• This is voluntary on an OOC basis; if the character doesn't have a profile completed by themselves or anyone else, nothing shows up for them on CHIRPER.
• For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER profiles 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.

This month there is a special 👻 SPOOKY SEASON 👻 addition: instead of ✓ or ✕ for like or dislike, it's 🎃 and 💀. Whatever the character has the most votes for shows up appended to their username on the network for the next month, as in, un: aurora 💀.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here!

Eh. Kids are overrated.

[Who else kills kids? This asshole.]

1/????

[Holy shit?]

[Holy shit???????]

[Holy shit??????????????????????]

done

[levelshift]

That had better be a bad fucking joke, asshole.

Re: done

[nottheboss]

At least you fucking regret it. You wouldn't do that here. You think that doesn't matter?

[levelshift]

You don't know what I would do. You don't know a fucking thing about me, so don't go around making any goddamned stupid assumptions.

[nottheboss]

sure killer. I bet you're out here kicking babies too. you're such a badass. ;)

[levelshift]

Do you have a deathwish or something?!

[Because as much as he hates it, there's a part of him that really wants to kill this guy.]

[nottheboss]

Can't die here, remember?

Mr. Bossie, please refrain from antagonizing Accelerator.

[nottheboss]

Or what?

[He's been under a lot of stress lately and this is helping okay]

[ornithologist]

Or I must reassess your willingness to follow simple directions from me.

[ This is about as mild a threat as they come, but hopefully it makes enough of a point. ]

[nottheboss]

Fuck off.

[But he'll stop.]

private

[ornithologist]

[ Well, he can't exactly read agreement in fuck off, so... ]

I care for this young man and he has recently suffered greatly. Please be nice if you can, as a favor to me if nothing else.

I'll bribe you with interesting bird photos if I must.

Re: private

[nottheboss]

[There were a lot of rabid animals at the end of the world, after vaccinations wore off and there were no boosters. And sometimes, like now, that's how Bossie feels: like a dog wandering in circles, biting anything warm that gets too close.]

Figuring out what it takes to make you give up on me and Carver's payment enough, man.

Re: private

[ornithologist]

I haven't found it yet.

[ And he can assume this mission was extremely hard on them, so he's trying to be gentle here while still making his expectations clear. ]

Thank you. Would you like to take Bear on an excursion? I'm afraid he spent this whole mission cooped up with the other animals under Aurora's care. He could use the exercise.

[ornithologist]

[ Harold feels immensely long-suffering reading this whole conversation. It's not like he can tell Accelerator that Bossie is acting like this because he has to convince himself he doesn't care that he's killed kids -- he's not about to share their personal stories with one another. On top of which, he thinks it's quite gauche for a grown man to be trolling a teenager, so really he expects Bossie to be the one to break it off here.

But Accelerator does still have to learn to control his temper, so he says something to him, too. Mildly. ]

Haven't you ever heard "don't feed the trolls"?

Private

[levelshift]

[He has enough sense to at least make this conversation private, though he is currently furious. It's a good thing he needs to hit a switch to use his ability, and he has enough self-restraint keep himself in normal mode.]

I can ignore trolls. That bastard is something else.

Re: Private

[ornithologist]

I'm in an awkward position, as I don't wish to betray any confidences. But I will say that Mr. Bossie is not sanguine about the death of children despite what he's said here.

Private

[levelshift]

Then he shouldn't have said it. Not to me. It's not like there's anyone with a gun to his head forcing him to write that shit out.

[At least, he assumes there isn't.]

Re: Private

[ornithologist]

I think you are familiar with saying things you don't mean so you can convince others to think the worst of you.

[ Harold is very tired and strung out from the past few weeks, which means he's more curt than usual. ]

Private

[levelshift]

[Oh, it's incredibly unfair that Harold is pulling that out. Accelerator stops and glares at the text like it's offended him, because yeah, they both know how familiar he is with that kind of plan.]

Goddamnit.

Then he shouldn't be picking a fight with me, given what I can do to him if he sets me off.

[Not that he'd actually kill the guy, especially after everything that happened recently, but in his mind the incidents over the last few missions show that he's still perfectly willing and capable of harming people without murdering them.]

Re: Private

[ornithologist]

[ Please, Accelerator wouldn't respect him if he treated him gently-- ]

Putting aside the likelihood that Mr. Bossie is completely unaware of that, you'll need to be cautious that some people may think that a feature and not a bug. Picking a fight you can't win is a popular form of self-harm.

[ Harold is thinking strongly of John as he types this. ]

Private

[levelshift]

[Oh.

He never considered that. People who want to fight him usually do so because they want the clout that comes with beating someone so strong.]

That's really fucked up.
