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!

[She is looking respectfully.]

You're married? Your wife has good taste.

[betenoir]

Her taste is flawless except when she wishes to tease. She would be displeased to see other people looking at me.

[tocastashadow]

Surely she couldn't blame others merely for looking.

[betenoir]

She could blame whoever she wishes or whatever she likes, and I would not disagree. Except when it comes to finding my embarrassment charming.

[He might not disagree with the latter but the former. It's complicated.]

[tocastashadow]

Muscular and charming? My, she really does have good taste.

But, if you're adamant about it, I shall close my eyes whenever you walk by me so as not to risk offending her.

[betenoir]

I possess no intention of peacocking around while free from her gaze. Not that I am the kind of husband who plays such games. I can only hope that promise is something you can hold yourself to.

[tocastashadow]

[Since intent translates poorly via text, she can't tell whether he's messing with her, or whether he really does expect her to never look at him. Either way, she'll mess with him a bit.]

Why, good sir, you impugn my honor to suggest that I, a humble servant of the gods, would break my promise.

[betenoir]

[Truthfully? One might answer a bit of both. He intends to outright close everything down but needs to do so appropriately.]

I understand. I take my devotion to my wife just as seriously.

[Devotion? Oaths? Vows? That's something he can respect.]

[tocastashadow]

She must be someone quite special to have earned such unwavering devotion.

[betenoir]

She is my muse and the world entire. I was made for her and no other woman.

[Special doesn't begin to cover it.]

[tocastashadow]

Melodramatic. What would you do if she died?

[betenoir]

Forgive me for admitting I do not know.

[What answer can he give that isn't some variation of sacrificing his own life?]

She would want me to protect our son. I suppose that is purpose enough.

[tocastashadow]

You have a son?

[betenoir]

Indeed. Though unfortunately he takes after me.

[And they love each other deeply and everything is fine! The end.]

[tocastashadow]

He takes after your muscular physique? Or your charm? I'd call neither of those unfortunate.

[betenoir]

The boy inherited the best and worst of me. What else can I say? His mother found it amusing.

[tocastashadow]

And what, would you say, is the worst of you?

[betenoir]

[His willingness to lie and manipulate? Or...]

My wife fondly accuses me of being an incredibly difficult man.

[He's stubborn, and that's the truth.]

[tocastashadow]

Can that truly be your worst quality if she's fond of it?

[betenoir]

Of course. You can adore a lover who drives you insane, no?

[Stubborn isn't the word.]

[tocastashadow]

Can you? I can't say that's been my experience.

[Can't have a lover who drives you insane if you've forgotten everyone you've ever slept with.]

[betenoir]

Then perhaps you are fortunate.

[He can say it has been his more than once!]
