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!


**This is a fixed version of the code, sorry about that!

I have seen plenty Sanbrequios speak ill of others, although I think that to be an abominable fashion. Or perhaps you meant the style of Clive's garb? There is only one way to find out if the fit serves. I would be happy to judge.

And why should we not? We are discussing what might look good on you, and I recall your attire has some frill to it... Several of my clothes so too have such, although it is adorned around the neck and chest. I believe you saw me in such when I visited your kitchen...

[There is a yawning gap when thinking about that visit, but Sleipnir holds fast to the memory of Dion's kindness, or the child's squishy toy, and to the taste of the apple tea to ground himself.]

You may have simply met the wrong Sanbreqois then. That is far from repesentative of the entire population.

[ Look, he loves his homeland and people. ]

I have indeed seen your apparel, as well as your armor. The frill you speak of is the fashion in my homeland, though I confess I've seen little of the fashion sensibilities of yours in the course of one battle or another.

If you are certain. I grant you that you are the more likely of us to know your people. But this also makes you biased.

[And Sleipnir loves them not.]

One can hardly catch a glimpse of such things through the muck and the bloodshed. Regardless, of Waloeder clothing my wardrobe here only has the one I had been wearing at the time of arrival. Everything else was purchased on Earth and little there resembled either of our countries.

I do not deny that. But I would say the upper nobility are the sort of which you speak, not the whole of the nation.

I had thought more about the armor I tended to see. Yours I would know from Odin's legions, for that is what I would tend to see. Yet indeed, it seems neither nation's fashion is the fashion around here. Yet I still prefer the style of my own clothing. There too is bias.

I have met none, outside of you, who would afford bearers or my sort any level of respect within Sanbreque.

[This does not seem like a comment that should be made next to fashion choices, as so Sleipnir will leave that topic lie. This one is a personal sting and he isn't sure how he'll respond if Dion chooses to deny it. That makes Sleipnir uncomfortable.]

Yet I was no better than my people, in my ignorance. That I had known no other way does not lessen my faults.

[ The normalization of an injustice does not make it less of one, only harder to see. Dion had been complicit, for though he treated Bearers under his command with greater consideration than those around him, they still had been chattel in the Empire. Ensuring they ate and rested, for he knew the heavy toll fatigue would exact on any who channeled aether, hardly erased this.

While he too belonged to his nation, his had been a privileged position. ]

[Again, not the reaction Sleipnir expected of the man.]

It does not, no. However, that you would so readily admit to fault here does you credit, as does your change in behavior.

That you would help me when you need not...the meaning of such care is not wasted on me.

I would only compound my failings if I refused to acknowledge them.

For my part, there did seem a need. Whether I was suitable to fill it or not, I was there.

[ Closing his eyes to Sleipnir's suffering or struggles would have been no better. ]
