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!

A vampire slayer? That is impressive

[fitshaced]

that's the part you find impressive?

[godsandbats]

Is that not Dracula was?

[fitshaced]

he was, but i'd think the part about taking him out rather than general vampire hunting would be the impressive part.

[godsandbats]

What are vampires like in your world? I've only heard stories about them.

[fitshaced]

some abilities depend on the specific vampire in question, but in general, they tend to be stronger and faster than humans. they heal quickly as well unless you're using consecrated weapons, so putting them down can be a pain in the ass. exposing them to sunlight, burning them, destroying the heart or decapitating the bastards in the absence of a weapon like that works, but it will take far more effort.

beyond that, if you've heard stories, i'm sure you know the basics. they thirst for blood and will attack and kill humans for it. sometimes they're solitary, sometimes they've set up nests for themselves. sometimes they swindle humans into thinking they can have a mutually beneficial relationship. sometimes they just treat humans like toys meant to be used and broken for their own amusement.

the vampires in my world all answered to dracula before, but no idea what they're going to do now that the old man is gone. i imagine they'll be squabbling among themselves for a while yet. his army of night creatures also are probably going to be out there causing problems for the local populations without any guidance.

[godsandbats]

[Hmm... yes. Adding more to his notes now]

It'll probably be chaotic now that there's a power vacuum. It sounds like they're quite strong. There's been never been a truly mutually beneficial relationship with any of them?

[fitshaced]

oh i'm sure they treat the humans with a little more kindness than the ones that drop the pretense, but the outcome remains the same

[godsandbats]

Mealtime and a body count?

[fitshaced]

got it in one

[godsandbats]

How awful. Good thing you can handle high stakes.

[fitshaced]

i prefer a whip. although i don't turn my nose up to a short sword.

[Trevor. Must you?]

[godsandbats]

Why? For the range?

[fitshaced]

best way to not get bitten is to not let them get in close.

but it's also consecrated and a family heirloom.

[godsandbats]

Makes sense. Hopefully you don't need to use it here.

[fitshaced]

so long as the powers that be aren't stupid enough to invite a fucking vampire here, we should be good

[godsandbats]

Unfortunately, anything seems to be possible here.

[fitshaced]

then maybe we can get one priest without a stick up his ass to keep a stock of holy water on hand

[godsandbats]

[lulz]

One would hope that's not too hard

[fitshaced]

you haven't met that many priests, have you?

[godsandbats]

No. I guess you are?

[fitshaced]

a priest? fuck no

[But thank you for the laugh, buddy.]

no, my family was excommunicated. the number of priests willing to talk to me are few and far between.

[godsandbats]

You'd think your work would win you some points

[fitshaced]

you would think that, wouldn't you? unfortunately, their priorities often lie elsewhere in my experience.

[godsandbats]

What are their priorities?
