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!

I carried you to the hospital.

[ Oh. ]

I am fine. The damage will not be permanent.

Good. I was not entirely certain you would survive.

[ That is not what he told Cloud. ]

Do you remember who attacked you?

Yes. The boy isn't to blame for it, though he should have had a chaperone or stayed inside.

[ If one couldn't handle illusions, one shouldn't have been out in the fog to begin with. ]

I agree. And I appreciate that you do not hold a grudge toward him.

Keep a better eye on him. Others may not be as forgiving.

I reserve my grudge for the being responsible.

I will endeavor to do so.

[ But Vincent probably needs someone watching him, so it's not going to be very effective. He also finds the placement of her blame to be sensible. ]

Has he contacted you?

Yes. He promised me favors without seeing what manner of person I was first. As I said, keep a better eye on him.

[ oh Cloud. ]

He will attempt to follow through with that promise.

[ Whether she likes it or not. ]

I apologize for not finding him in time to stop him.

I hope so; I'm planning on it. There are many items I need relocated.

If you feel guilty, you can help carry.

[ The guilt is absurd, but it won't stop the man from feeling it or indulging it. ]

[ If he feels guilty? Oh no. Is paint wet? ]

Very well.

[ He knew he should not have asked. ]

[ If the man is going to wallow in guilt, at least something useful can come of it. ]

Good. I do not trust the bots with some of the materials.

[ More useful than sleeping for 30 years? Perish the thought. ]

They are fragile?

[ Say fragile and not toxic, please. ]

Some of it, such as the glass, yes.

Some of it, they tend to see as trash.

Why would it be trash?

[ is it actually trash? ]

Because some of it is salvage I have not sculpted yet.

Oh.

[ So it is trash. ]

Well, at least it's for art.

[ Or she's building a giant mecha. He hopes it's for art. ]

Of course it is: for sculpture and objets des artes, primarily.

We are moving them to a museum.

I wasn't aware there was a museum here.

There wasn't until recently. It's on Uketon. The trolley stops nearby so you won't have to carry things too far.

Small favors. I'm sure you'll let us know when you're ready for us to handle this project.

[ He gets the feeling she's not the type to forget. ]

I shall.

There's always the option to get over your ridiculous guilt and stop foisting it on others instead.

[ She's getting the impression he'd rather sweat. ]

Equally so, there is an option for you not to take advantage of such guilt.

You laid it on my doorstep. You did not ask after my wellbeing out of concern; you asked out of guilt, thus laying another responsibility upon me: to forgive you. My pain should not be about you.

Guilt, concern or curiosity. A mixture, maybe.

[ It wasn't entirely out of guilt. The concern might have been more so for Cloud, however, but he also thinks it would have been unfortunate if she had died. Surely, it would impact some others, as well. ]

You are not obligated to forgive me, but you are able to gain something from your pain, so I do not fault you for choosing to do so.
