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!

I know not whether it was illness or ill influence. It affected behavior, from what I observed, but there may have been worse cases. Those around me had my light to ward off the worst.

[numinousname]

You all may very well have been in my world, without my knowing it...
If that is so, I am sorry for what you endured. I hope none have kept the sickness in them...but I should be able to heal them, if they show signs of the disease.

[oblige]

Is your world called Mesa? That was the name we were supplied.

I know not whether more severe cases have lingered, though it may be worth asking Aurora.

[numinousname]

It may go by many names, depending on where you are. Even...the side of the world that was under the true sun may call it something else, but I wouldn't know, unfortunately.
I apologize. I wish I knew more.

[oblige]

You owe me no apologies. If there is any fault, it does not lay with you.

[numinousname]

Maybe not, but the notion that I am to...represent the totality of where I am from does feel as such. Does it not feel the same way to you?

[oblige]

I've questioned why I would be summoned here. It is a grave responsbility, and I would not have selected myself over others.

Yet I feel there must be a reason that we were, even if we do not ourselves see it.

[numinousname]

Something pre-written?

[oblige]

A certain will or logic, rather.

[numinousname]

I see.
It's a lot of mystery, either way. I imagine...if I stayed too idle, I would become very uneasy with all of my thoughts. I will strive to not let it come to that.

[oblige]

I believe you'd find it a common sentiment among our fellows.

We've more idle time than I am accustomed to, and that can be both bane and boon. In my experience, it helps to take up pursuits. Training, learning prsctical skills, hobbies, whatever may fill the time.

[numinousname]

Have you any recommendations?
Which of them do you enjoy most? If it is alright to ask.

[oblige]

It will depend upon what interests you, of course, but I've enjoyed reading the literature available here. The library has a great many works from a world called Earth.

[numinousname]

This may be a strange thing to ask, but... Do the books here transport you body and mind? Into the stories within the pages, to reside with the souls there?

[oblige]

They've no mystical properties that I am aware of.

[numinousname]

Thank you.
I can't actually remember...the last time I read a book in its entire. Perhaps it may be worth pursuing.

[oblige]

I think it an avenue worth exploring, at the least.

[numinousname]

I will try.
I appreciate your advice... Thank you for taking the time to share it with me.

[oblige]

I'm pleased to be of assistance where I may.

Should you have more questions, you need only ask.

[numinousname]

In regard to flowers, magic, and books?

[oblige]

Those are some areas I may have answers in.

But also regarding this place, as it appears you are newly arrived. We do not have many answers, but what there is, I would provide.

[numinousname]

That's a generous offer.
Would there be anything I could do for you in exchange? I wouldn't feel right simply taking your time in such a way.

[oblige]

I understand, though I would contend it falls to those who have been here longer to aid those who come after.

Perhaps you could tell me of your world's magic.

[numinousname]

I can try my best. My perspective is...very limited. But what knowledge I have is yours, especially if it winds up being of help.

[oblige]

I would appreciate any insights you may have. I've been endeavoring to improve my supportive abilities in my time here, but I'd yet to meet anyone else who wielded light.
