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!

Alicia. Such teasing is your prerogative. But better you indulge when he is able to learn his lesson from such behaviour, non?

[Peacocks. Animals that trash a whole lot of shit and have the most ungodly scream? Sounds like Verso.]

The name is passable.

[By which he means good.]

[arever]

I never said I was only talking about Verso.

[betenoir]

Of course. I suppose bullying your father is also the prerogative of children.

[It wouldn't be the first time, would it? Miss "Pick Me Up So I Don't Need To Walk On The Floor".]

[arever]

It's an important and weighty task, and somebody must do it. It seems it's fallen to me.

[betenoir]

Really, Alicia? This early in the morning?

[Get off the phone and go to sleep!]

[arever]

Dawn is one of the most beautiful times of day.

[betenoir]

The start of new beginnings. That second chance that eludes us all.

[Ignore how that's literally the name of his picto, thanks.]

[arever]

A new dawn, another day. Another chance to remind dear papa of how boring he's allowed himself to become.

[betenoir]

A scouring yet strangely endearing criticism. But at least I know these words are your own.

[arever]

This isn't nearly as entertaining if you're playing along. I'll have to recruit Verso to tease you as well.

[She knows mentioning him is fraught, but maybe it's hopeful projection. If she says it enough times, they can spend time as a family together again.]

private

[betenoir]

[Private because people are nosy gossips who should stay out of family business. #NoTrust]

Alicia. I hardly think that will change his mind.

[arever]

[Ah. She should have known.]

I know.

[She can ask him, but she probably won't.]

[betenoir]

I am sorry. I wish he would listen to you. But for that to happen he must first listen to himself.

[Not the mask he portrays in order to cope with his existence.]

We can only hope things will not remain like this forever.

[Here of all places. Because he worries. Because though they are estranged, and there are reasons, that is his son.]
