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!

What happens with teddy bears?

[her_own_rules]

It was all sorts of stuffed animals that time. But after they'd made so you couldn't't be parted with them, they came to life as a combination of your worst fear, that you had no will to fight, while it was trying to kill you.

[ Somewhere Babs shifts her shoulders uneasily.
Her perfect memory only too easily recalls it.

Dick. Bomb in his chest. Hair shorn short,
scarred and shot through the head.

Still walking.

Telling her it was her fault. ]

[leastdramatic]

[The answer comes almost as a surprise but he's been in Etraya long enough to know that a lot of times, things aren't what they always seem]

Seriously? Shit. Got it. Don't mess with even with the teddy bears.

[her_own_rules]

Smart. I can't say it was the worst, but it's definitely up there in the high rankings for it.

[leastdramatic]

Kinda comes close to the fog on that list.

[her_own_rules]

Yeah. Definitely.

It's so fun being a lab rat for whoever keeps spending their time thinking up these gems.

[leastdramatic]

Oh yeah, it's the best. Don't you just love being a pawn on a cosmic chessboard?

UN: clicksandgiggles; TEXT

[saychocobo]

» Yeah I'm starting to rethink my opinion on the goat...

» I guess have one of these for the warning. 🎄

[her_own_rules]

Oh, Thanks.

And, yeah, once you're around here long enough, you stop taking for granted the little things, so when something massive shows up, you just don't mess with the big neon sign of itself. It could be something, or it could be nothing, and it'll vanish as soon as the season's over, too.

But I'd rather not find out by lighting it on fire first.

[saychocobo]

» I'm kinda looking at it like it's keeping the mechs busy? I dunno if happy's a thing to them, but it's just a straw goat and it's not bothering me, so cool?

It starts trying to kill people and it's a totally different story.

[her_own_rules]

It starts killing people or even twitching ominously and we all ride at dawn.

[saychocobo]

» Literally? I think we can leave the chocobos out of the murdery goat fight, can't we?

[her_own_rules]

Oh, god. I hadn't even meant that.
It's a phrase back where I come from.



But now you've got that image in my head.

[saychocobo]

» Asking the questions that need answering.

[leastdramatic]

With this place. a lot of questions are valid. Including questioning stuffed animals.

[her_own_rules]

Questions are honestly the best route at this point.

You might not always get an answer, or a definitive enough one, when you follow down the rabbit hole of why. But they are worth asking, and most things are worth not taking for granted at this point.

[saychocobo]

» I think I got lost about halfway through reading that.

[leastdramatic]

Basically, better to ask questions than not.

[saychocobo]

» Oh. Yeah totally. BTW you're hired as my official translator.

[leastdramatic]

Translator for what?

[saychocobo]

» For genius to Prompto.

[leastdramatic]

I need a pay raise then. Do you know how nerdy they can be?

[saychocobo]

» Nerdy I can deal with. Wordy and nerdy - *that* can be tricky. Especially if the answer loops around like no -> maybe -> yes but still no? -> whatever that last bit was.

[leastdramatic]

True. Plenty of stuff could've been said in 6 words instead of 15

[her_own_rules]

[ Gosh. Jason.






Not that he's lying.

Not that she couldn't be a million times worse, too. ]
