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!

[No paper for you, young lady.]

Yeah. I'm glad you don't have to strain yourself.

[Her little olive branch: she knows the few times she's heard her speak, it couldn't have felt great.]

[arever]

I do worry the ease of communication will lead to things said in haste that one may regret later.

[...]

Though that's not unique to this form.

[It's not a direct apology, but her Dessendre way of admitting maybe she pushed too hard and to soon.]

[maellum]

Yeah. It's part of being human, right?

[... perhaps an unwell human, but still.]

[arever]

One that is not easily shaken, I fear. Years and age do not temper foolishness as much as we'd hope.

[maellum]

[Verso is proof of that...]

Great. More things to look forward to as I get old.

[arever]

Aging is also said to give one grey hairs. I wouldn't know.

[Because her hair is white. Not because she's immortal. But. Uh. Okay maybe not the best topic.]

This who profile and chattering is quite odd. I feel as though I'm on stage.

[maellum]

It's free and easy entertainment.

[arever]

Is that why you haven't posted one yourself?

[Don't think she didn't notice.]

[maellum]

If there's ever a post here about me, I'm not the one writing it.

[arever]

Is that what happened to your friend? It seems an easy excuse, or perhaps a punishment for those too reticent.

[maellum]

Sophie is what happened to him.

[arever]

You say that name like a curse. Is she not the friend you mentioned before?

[maellum]

Yeah. As much as I love her, I fear her.

[arever]

Now I’m worried you’ve thrown me to the wolves.

[maellum]

A little. But she's fun.

[arever]

I'm beginning to grow concerned on what you consider fun.

[maellum]

You'll just have to befriend Sophie and find out.

[arever]

[But Maelle. Making friends is hard.]

Don't you have any friends your age? They are less intimidating.

[maellum]

There's Scott. He's nice and he's very familiar with Sophie, too.

[That's it! That's the one.]

[arever]

I met a Scott with glasses, is that the same one? He was quite nice. A real gentleman.

The people here are all very nice.

[maellum]

There are two Scotts here, actually. One our age and one older. It's complicated. Both are really nice.

[arever]

[Alicia types something, and then erases it.]

Are they on good terms?

[maellum]

[Good question. Maelle's so wrapped up in her own messes she hasn't really checked in on that aspect of Scott's identity crisis...]

I think so. It's complicated.

[arever]

[There is a lot she could say. There is a lot she should say. There is a lot she is absolutely, definitely not going to say. But.]

I'm sure it is.

[....Yeah let's leave it at that.]

Is he really your only other friend?

[maellum]

I feel like I'm being judged.

I have more friends here than I ever did in Lumiere.
