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!

Jonathan Crane | Dark Knight Trilogy

[restingstitchface]

Ulysses

NAME ▷  Jonathan Crane

AGE ▷  32

RESIDENCE ▷  Private

COLD OR COZY? ▷  Cold

Getting to know you!

Q: What is your favorite Wikipedia article (so far)?
A: Chemical equilibrium. If the equilibrium of a system is disturbed by a change in one or more of the determining factors, the system tends to adjust to a new equilibrium by counteracting as far as possible the effect of the change. It makes me contemplate how we have adjusted to our situation.

Q: What is one winter or holiday tradition from home you'd like to bring to Etraya?
A: Christmas trees illuminated outdoors at night together with concerts and carolling. I suppose more than one answer is cheating but Christmas traditions all inform each other, right? Tis the season and all that?

Q: What important lesson have you learned during your time here?
A: Some people among us need to leave the past at home.

Q: How do you navigate disagreements or conflicts with other residents?
A: I simply conduct my business like an adult. I refuse to engage in drama.

( Another familiar name, even if the face isn't the one she's used to. )

Ghosts of Gotham past got you down, Crane?

[restingstitchface]

[How wonderful. Another unfamiliar face who finds him familiar. Christmas does bring gifts, after all.]

How can they when I don't believe in ghosts? Though I suppose if by ghosts you mean rain, then yes. The constant damp does get me down.

[catscratching]

Is that what we're calling men in kevlar with point cowls now?

[restingstitchface]

What can I say? That particular raincloud makes everyone miserable.

[Batman, you're wet and a downer. Stop stalking this post.]

[catscratching]

I wouldn't say everyone.

( She's probably bias, though. )

Do you recognize me?

[restingstitchface]

Should I?

[She knows his name so yes he should. But no, he doesn't know who this is at all.]

It can be interesting to witness chemical equilibrium when it isn't what you unexpected.

[restingstitchface]

Absolutely. Those little surprises are what keep us all young and vibrant, right?

[godsandbats]

It's one way to look at it. It's another reminder that order sometimes comes in surprising ways.

[restingstitchface]

In surprising ways, but still a as a result of our actions.

[godsandbats]

Like most things in life, regardless if it was on purpose or happenstance.

[restingstitchface]

But what if that purpose is neither yours nor mine?

🎄

[demainvient]

That sounds like a fascinating article. I've really enjoyed perusing this new collection on the network; it seems like there's an article for almost everything.

Re: 🎄

[restingstitchface]

You sound like there's nothing like this resource where you come from? I mean this one is more extensive than the one back home; it's a few years old at best. But it's been interesting to watch the progression of.

[demainvient]

Nothing even remotely. If I want to look something up back home, I have to hope it's somewhere in a library or in someone's records.

[restingstitchface]

Well, your records go back some years, I imagine? Perhaps that doesn't mean there's nothing like this. It just means it's not as accessible.

[demainvient]

Nothing in this kind of format. Digital, right?

We had some remnants of printed Encyclopédie, but it wasn't nearly so expansive, and not much survived past the Fracture.

[restingstitchface]

[Well, there's a name that isn't suggestive.]

Digital, yes. There was analogue but digital brought with it entirely new methods for measuring and recording. Though I guess I'm a stubborn person for enjoying the charm of antiquity.

In any case, you'll have to share what was kept in your records sometime.

Would you actually go caroling?

[restingstitchface]

Heavens no. Who would inflict that on anyone?

[He prefers to avoid people, thank you.]

[bubblegumheart]

I think it would be fun.

[restingstitchface]

I think I would look ridiculous.

[bubblegumheart]

You know, you'd probably have a better time if you weren't so worried about looking ridiculous.

[restingstitchface]

Then I suppose I would sound ridiculous.
