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: I have to admit, I'd like to visit the world some of my Gotham friends are from so I could meet my other self. Is that egotistical? Feels a little egotistical, but I think we'd have a lot to talk about.

Q: What are your favorite things to do on vacation?
A: Gosh. I can't remember the last time I went on vacation. Anyone got any suggestions? I do like to travel.

Q: Have you learned any new skills since coming to Etraya, or are you interested in learning any?
A: I have a lot more free time now, so I've been cooking a lot more, really pushing my capabilities and trying new recipes. Thanks to everyone who's been helping me do that and not waste food! Oh, I'm also learning how to tell whether people are lying or not based on their heartbeats. (Thanks Toph.)

Q: Which Zodiac animal are you?
A: I was born during the year of the pig, which seems appropriate for certain reasons.

You can practice on Vergil. He's a terrible liar.

[newsbeat]

Well, not that I know he is I'm not going to need to be able to tell myself. I've got to have a challenge if I'm going to get better.

[fieldtrip]

For the record, I am actually a teacher, and you gotta start with the easier stuff.

He's a tall guy who sounds like he's performing in a stage play all the time. Super serious.

[newsbeat]

Okay, I trust you. I'll give him a try and report back.

[fieldtrip]

Great. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did I do that right? Is that a little picture now?

[newsbeat]

Yes, there are six thumbs up. That's a lot of thumbs.

[fieldtrip]

Oops. I wasn't sure if it was working so I did it too many times.

[newsbeat]

I just took it as extra encouragement.

[fieldtrip]

Don't. I'm not that encouraging.

Actually, can you hear your own heartbeat, too? You could just practice on yourself. How good of a liar are you?

[newsbeat]

Pretty good but for me it's more about context and diversion than it is just saying things that aren't true.

[fieldtrip]

It's more that people usually get at least a little nervous when they're hiding something, which makes their heart rate and breathing change, or they kinda shift around a bit.

It's not like I can pick up on which words specifically are a lie or not, it's more like a general aura.

I think it makes sense.

Especially after meeting several versions of people we've known here.

[newsbeat]

It's definitely felt a little odd to know two of the same person. And for a lot of people to know me but not me.
I'd like to know me too.

[ She's nothing if not hyper suspicious of even the smallest details, at times.
You'll get to learn that all over again—for the first time.


Maybe. Just maybe. Somewhere in it is also the fact she trusts him enough that she doesn't want to have to safely couch her words for "public consumption" when she could just be answering him honestly, too. ]

I go back and forth on that, myself.

There hasn't been a duplicate of me here, the way there have been of all the boys since coming here. What would it be like to have another of myself? In our places. Or even in the wires. This place already feels too small more than half the time.

[newsbeat]

You'd probably get into fewer arguments than some people. Not naming names.

No kidding. I think it's worse because it looks like a city but there's fewer people here than in Smallville.

[her_own_rules]

It's a wonder that having two of them—and having them process their being two of them, or three—is still worse than having two Dick's, and three of Jason's at a time.

He's not fond of dealing with himself.


There's a great irony there that he's even less fond of.

[ It's a careful truth, that neither lies nor insults. Bruce Wayne can be the ultimate asshole at times. To the people he loves and needs to survive at all most of all. But there's only one person Barbara respects more at the end of the day. And she knows that he needs her in a way other people can't fill—and how much that both isn't a compliment (and is) and is her responsibility. Either way. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, now I'm curious how you find out how good you are at telling if someone's lying.

[newsbeat]

Well...huh. I might have to have Toph observe me and tell me because yeah, if I'm wrong, how would I know?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Guess you could always have someone try telling an obvious lie. But wait, how are you even listening to heartbeats?

[newsbeat]

I have really good hearing. Really good.

[fieldtrip]

It gets easier the more familiar you are with them. Though some people are just really good at lying.

hey, happy (I'm assuming belated) birthday!

Is that really necessary? The lying thing, I mean. I'm sure there's plenty of other more important skills you could be practicing.
