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!

[ That's not a costume Cid. ]

Oh, it's been a while. How have you been?

[ Clearly they're on terms where she can ask that with a straight face, not... whatever that was when they first met. ]

[He knows better than to sign up for shit he has no intention of participating in.]

Well enough! I’m still kicking, as it so happens. Despite the questions of my tenuous mortality, I’m feeling better than ever.

And yourself, lass?

[He’s pretty sure it’s Gaia. But. No reason to make himself look stupid before he crosschecks on the network.]

[ Definitely her voice and any belated check of the user name will show she's still using 'gaia'. ]

They did seem to stress death. [ She doesn't sound exactly pleased about that. In fact there's a huff in her voice that suggest Gaia found it a bit annoying. ] Though I did notice other people had other questions. Particularly when they're filled out by someone else.

I'm doing just fine. Sephiroth and I have been spending most of our time training together. Popp seems to have gone away. I guess I never paid attention much but... I suppose that happens.

[ Her tone indicates she's not thrilled about that either. But well, what can you do? ]

People come and go. And sometimes they come back. They’re probably not dead.

[But he grimaces about it. They could be.]

Spending most of your time with a boy? He seems nice. [A little daft. But weren’t most of them?]

[ And if they went home and were already dead... well, how cruel is that? Sigh.

Moving on, Gaia rolls her eyes. Naturally, this isn't evident in an audio transmission. Probably in her voice though which starts off a bit crisp. ]

Sephiroth is fairly sure he prefers other guys. And yes, he's very nice. Sincere, too.

[ And a good friend. But she's not going to talk about the complicated situation behind using that word on the internet. It'll stay there forever. ]

That’s the nature of this place, isn’t it? Most of the men here prefer men. I wonder why.

[There’s the sound of him lighting a cigarillo.]

What about you?

[ She's really never thought about it. At all. Too bad he can't see her face; it's totally bewildered about why that's even a commentary or something to be curious about. Does it matter? ]

What about me what?

[ She doesn't sound suspicious at all. Gaia really doesn't seem to have a clue about what he's following through with. Please do fluster... I mean spell it out for her. ]

About your preferences, girl! I’m working on a theory.

[Cid shakes his head. He figures she likes boys if she cares to know that bit about Sephiroth. Even so.]

[ Probably earns an eyeroll. And a thankfully not seen expression of embarrassment. ]

Given your theory seems to be about men liking men all the time here, it makes sense that a girl might not expect you to ask about their preferences for it you know.

[ Totally why she didn't realise it. Then awkwardly she continues ]

Honestly I haven't really had time to think much on it.

[ She knows that sounds weird. She does! But she seems not to be lying either. ]
