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!

[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.

[her_own_rules]

Two years. Give or take.



They don't learn well.

But they DO leave it alone if you write it yourself.
No matter what you write or don't write as your answers.

[pardamned]

[Two goddamn years?! Oh, brother...]

that's a long time to be stuck here.

i can teach well, maybe they just need the proper motivation. but if you're not lying about them leaving well enough alone if i do this myself, then, maybe i'll see about doing that.

[Somehow... He really hates this whole network business. How's he supposed to have peace and quiet with it bothering him?]

[her_own_rules]

Not the greatest opener, for sure.
There aren't a whole lot of us left since the beginning.



Haven't seen them change anyone's answers once they put them up—even if they were all "No" or straight-up lies—so you're probably safe. For at least the grain of salt that is in it all.

[pardamned]

i heard something about that. folks getting sent back, even some returning. all seems so strange, and a little beyond me, if i'm honest.

good to know for the future. thanks for that, mister or miss b.gordon.

[her_own_rules]

Miss, and it's Barbara.

I should have said at the start.

[pardamned]

it's a pleasure, miss barbara. i'm arthur, though i guess you already know that given what was shared.

[her_own_rules]

A pleasure to meet you, as well, Arthur.
Even if, in such an admittedly strange way.
