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.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here!

Getting to know you!

Q: If you could visit the home world of someone you've met here, whose would it be?
A: He would probably like to go to any that aren't fully controlled by the rule of law, where people are free to live as they see fit.

Q: What are your favorite things to do on vacation?
A: He has never been on a vacation. Though he did go to a tropical island once, but that wasn't much of a vacation. He likes to draw. Maybe he would do more of that!

Q: Have you learned any new skills since coming to Etraya, or are you interested in learning any?
A: He's slowly learning how to use the network, but he doesn't seem really interested in it. Maybe he'll open up to the wonders of technology with a little help! 😉

Q: Which Zodiac animal are you?
A: He is a water pig! 💧🐷

If it's not something they shouldn't have said—what do you like to draw?

[pardamned]

[It takes a couple minutes before a response is sent her way, mostly because Arthur doesn't like wearing the earpiece if he can help it. So it isn't until he decides to investigate the buzzing from his satchel that he finally replies, and that's after trying to understand the UI of the network.

His mood isn't the greatest, especially seeing what has been posted about him, but that's hardly this B.Gordon's fault.]

this a usual thing they do? whoever they is. to answer your question i draw what i see. people, animals, landscapes, plants. why you interested in the scribbles of strangers?

[her_own_rules]

Sadly, yes. It's a thing.


I don't know that it's much a comfort, but it doesn't look like they went out of their way to expose anything drastic about you in this first round. I've seen worse ways people have discovered this facet of Etraya, or what came out of thinking they'd decline involvement.

I'm guessing you're new, then?


[ "Guessing."
Okay, Babs. ]

[pardamned]

yeah i'm new. not so new that i ain't sick of all the horse shit with all this. or those robots. guess i should be grateful they ain't keen on revealing anything too sensitive. i ain't usually so lucky.

how long you been stuck here?

[her_own_rules]

Since the beginning basically.



Yeah, they've defintely done a lot worse before.

[pardamned]

that supposed to give me a scale of time, or am i meant to guess?

i'll keep that in mind and be ready if i need to teach them a lesson on matters of privacy.

[levindicated]

Looks like you’ve been found out, Arthur Morgan.

voice;

[pardamned]

[Goddammit. Well, it's probably fine. Ain't no Pinkertons here.

...Give him a second to figure out how to make this voice. He prefers that, anyway, over the texting.]

Yeah, seems someone's got loose lips. Not that it matters none. You'll get over it.

voice;

[levindicated]

Will I? I might never recover from that sort of betrayal. See, here I’d thought I found a countryman when I first heard that name.

[He doesn’t elaborate. Never the one to volunteer helpful information, he moves on with it.]

Seems like you still don’t live anywhere either. You know you’re allowed to just move in to whatever you find, right? There’s a whole block of apartments across from the hospital. Though they might complain about you stinking up the place until you’ve finally washed yourself.

voice;

[pardamned]

Yeah, yeah, et tu, Tacitus and all that.

[So dramatic, this guy.]

You know, you ain't smelling of roses neither.

voice;

[levindicated]

This again? So now you want me in a dress and smelling like roses?

You sound lonely. We’ve got to get you some friends, Arthur. Good thing the robots put this up for you.

You any good at drawing?

voice;

[pardamned]

Now just wait a damn minute, I ain't never said I wanted you in no dress. I only asked if you had one with all your offering to bathe another man and is all.

[Which, decidedly, does not refute the assertion of him sounding lonely!]

As for drawing, I'm alright, I suppose. You can at least tell what I've been scribbling. Usually.

[catscratching]

Are we talking about flowers or opals?

[pardamned]

depending on who's asking it could be either, neither, or maybe both.

[catscratching]

( There's lots of ways she could answer this, but what she settles on is: )

How about someone who doesn't mind living outside the rule of law?

[pardamned]

well then, lets say its the latter. you a fan of opals, or just what they tend to bring in?

[Money, being his meaning.]

private (because there are nosey bats around)

[catscratching]

( She's picking up what he's putting down. )

I've never met a jewel I didn't like or the pretty pennies they'll fetch.

private (bats *are* pretty well known for their silly noses...)

[pardamned]

[The significance of this becoming private is a little lost on him. Mostly because he doesn't realize these conversations aren't private normally. One day he might understand how the network operates.]

sounds like we have that in common, then. though i hear this place ain't got no pretty pennies to be fetching.

[rowd]

the tech here is stupid anyway
but there's no real laws so you've already got that going for you

[pardamned]

never been big about technology.
as for the lawlessness of this place, i did hear about that. i also heard children think they're the law. some robbing boy and super child, know anything about that?

[rowd]

nah
i leave the kids alone, they've got enough fucked up crap going on in their lives already
but they haven't bothered me any either
who are they dicking around with?

[pardamned]

i ain't knowing who all they've bothered, only heard about them from a feller named cid. maybe they've got some sort of vendetta against him.

[rowd]

he seem like the kind of guy who'd deserve it?

[pardamned]

i could see him annoying some moody young boys and deserving their wrath. though young boys shouldn't be getting themselves involved with grown men, no matter how annoying they may be.
