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!

Likewise, though we were able to enjoy music regularly. There was a bard who took up residence where I live. We do enough strange and exciting things for him to write entire ballads, apparently. He’s as much a part of my home as anyone who helps build, repair, maintain, and grow the place. I think music is important. It’s certainly helped me through some tough nights.

It isn’t childish at all. The first time I was able to turn a knob and get not just running water but hot running water? It felt like my life had been changed. I have never been able to clean myself so quickly. Funnily enough, I did choose to live in a place that has similar amenities to where I come from, though. I’ve found ways to make some adaptations for some things with the help of some friends. There is also a rather expansive network under the monastery itself that works well for cold storage.

I’ve built a couple of things since coming here myself. I could show you if you’d like. Back home, I have a friend who has a saying. ‘Knowledge hoarded is knowledge lost.’ I try to live by that.

So, while talk-to-text has been very handy for me in all of this, I was wondering if you would like to save ourselves the added trouble and meet up, perhaps over coffee?

That's a really good saying. I've never heard it stated quite that way before, but I've always felt the same way.

I'd be delighted to see some of the things you've built, and just as happy to meet in person to talk more. Coffee sounds great. Corrine's? Sometime tomorrow, maybe?

Harpocrates, the friend, has a way with words that helps voice things that I think but can't find the words to.

I would love to. Are you more of a morning person or an afternoon person?
