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 would you suggest? No more dark chocolate for the year?

( is he teasing? he’s teasing. )

[heartofthedream]

Not if you plan to stay nearby.

Maybe they say all's fair in love and war, but that is chocolate,
and I'm not giving up my stash even vicariously for you.

[redvisor]

( that might get him to chuckle ever so softly to himself. )

No giving up chocolate then. Got it. I know better than to piss off a telepath.

[heartofthedream]

Oh my god.

[redvisor]

Hey, am I wrong?

[heartofthedream]

You should take video evidence of this so when the kids say you've never admitted to being wrong or learning from being wrong in your life, you have proof.

[redvisor]

Well let's not get carried away now.

[heartofthedream]

Okay, so not chocolate.

Resolution Idea Attempt #2?

[redvisor]

Well I don't know how well I'd do without coffee. What about chocolate cake?

[heartofthedream]

The whole house might revolt if it was coffee.

Or you might fail within a day. Smelling it.
Maybe not setting up instant surrender.






What about maybe taking a day off every month?

[redvisor]

Well now that almost sounds like a bit of a challenge.

[heartofthedream]

Too much for you?

[redvisor]

( he knows what she's up to. doesn't need to be a telepath there. )

Trying to twist my arm here.

[heartofthedream]

Or maybe to make you try to have a little downtime while here. Some time to breathe and do simple things as well as working on the overarching mission.


[ A beat. ]

I might even offer to come with you on some of them.

[redvisor]

On what? The missions or the downtime?

[heartofthedream]

[ Really, Slim? Really? ]

We don't get the option of missions here still. Hasn't changed.

[redvisor]

( really. )

Hey, it's been awhile. Just checking to see what has and hasn't changed there.

So downtime then. What's your idea there?

[heartofthedream]

Mhhm.

You're doing things that involve rest,
or whatever makes you happy. For a little bit.

[redvisor]

Define a little bit.

[heartofthedream]

I suggested a day—nebulously—but that might be far too much to start with. Maybe you have to work up to a day.

[redvisor]

So, what? Half a day? 12 hours? Of uninterrupted downtime?

[heartofthedream]

If you can manage it.





This world, too.

[redvisor]

Guess we'll see, won't we?

( sometimes duty calls unexpectedly. )

[heartofthedream]

Maybe we will.


[ Beat. ]

Maybe the one(s?) I come to are like rewards for making it the month previously.

[redvisor]

Nice incentive.

( almost a little... unfair. playfully so, that is. )
