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, profiles are worth 5 extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These 5 extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

This month there is a special ✨ HOLIDAY 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 patiently waiting. ❤️ )

Intimately.

Was it bad?

( Whatever happened between them. She doesn't expect many details, especially not over a network like this. )

[batsymbol]

( far as he knows, neither of them will say much about it. to anyone. at least not willingly. )

It went about as expected.

( does that explain enough? )

[catscratching]

( Enough to reinforce that they're hopeless, but she won't pry. )

I see. You're both hopeless.

( She'll leave it at that unless he wants to share more. )

If I ask you something about home, will you be honest with me?

[batsymbol]

( about as honest as he can be? )

What do you want to know?

[catscratching]

What's your cat like?

( She's curious what it was like for him to meet her here instead of the Selina he knows. And how different they are. )

[batsymbol]

( he figured it was something along those lines. yet he's still... not sure how to answer it. )

She's not

( cue the "..." happening. )

We've only known each other a few days.

( and when she'd asked him to come with her, he'd let her go. as is typical of bruce batman. )

[catscratching]

Where did you meet?

( All Bruces are stupid, she understands. )

[batsymbol]

The Iceberg Lounge. I was on business.

( aka he was batman. )

[catscratching]

You've got an annoying, flightless bird of your own, I see.

( She feels A Way about the Penguin, if it wasn't obvious. )

Do you ever take time off?

[batsymbol]

Currently the least of Gotham's problems.

( for now anyways. )

I can't.

[catscratching]

For now.

( Riddler today, Penguin tomorrow, Joker the day after... The endless cycle. )

Can't or won't?

[batsymbol]

( she’s got him there. )

It’s just me.

[catscratching]

Very you.

( Some things never change, no matter the world. )

Are you at least keeping warm in that tower of yours?

[batsymbol]

I’m fine. I can handle myself.

( citation possibly needed what with alfred not being here and all. )

[catscratching]

You sound so convincing, Bruce.

( Yeah, she doesn't buy it. )

[batsymbol]

Was there anything else you wanted to know?

( very bruce and batman of him. )

[catscratching]

Plenty.

The real question is, will you humor me if I keep asking?

[batsymbol]

Guess there’s only one way to find out.

[catscratching]

I guess so.

( A moment as she considers where to start. What won't send him running. )

Do you miss Alfred?

[batsymbol]

( an emotional one first, is it? )

It’s better that he’s not here.

[catscratching]

That's not what I asked, Bruce.

( She does love toeing the line. )

[batsymbol]

( he knows. )

Yeah. But it doesn’t change that he shouldn’t be here.

[catscratching]

I think he'd have a few things to say about you boys.

( More than a few things to say about the Bruces and them not getting along, probably. )

Do you have kids?

[batsymbol]

Not back home.

( like he’d said: it’s just him. no robins or other bats at his side. )

Do you have cats?

[catscratching]

Here? No. But I had a few strays back home who wandered in from time to time.

I named my two regulars Bast and Sekt.

( She does love her strays. )

What was the first thing you noticed about your cat?
