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!

Uh, yeah, I'm from eastern Washington. Everyone here knows how to shoot a gun.

[ Fuck, why'd he have to log in as ADRIAN and not as VIGILANTE. Idiot move!! ]

[pardamned]

Washington, huh? Lot of beautiful country out that way, you'd be a damn fool if you didn't know how to use a gun. But shooting wildlife ain't the same as shooting men, so I'd advise you start thinking before you speak. Don't need to be pissing off the wrong feller.

[taxevasion]

[ Genuinely it's destroying him from within he can't just out himself as the marksman that he is. So, different tactic: ]

You sound like you've killed someone before. What were they guilty of? Pissing you off?

[pardamned]

Among other things. I shoot men who needs shooting, what dictates that necessity varies.

[Arthur normally wouldn't care to talk like this so easily, but Adrian has annoyed him enough that he's talking tough to forge distance.]

[taxevasion]

So you're a murderer, easily triggered into violence through blows to your ego.

[pardamned]

You wanna find out yourself, tough guy?

[taxevasion]

[ The slightest, barest difference in tone: ]

I've heard enough.

[pardamned]

[Interesting...]

That so? Well, if you find your balls let me know, will ya?

1/2

[taxevasion]

[ He's almost going to be cool about this. He's going to cool-guys-dont-look-at-explosions this.

Until Arthur mentions his balls. ]

[taxevasion]

Oh, YOU'RE going to find my balls, being dragged all over your face.

[ fuck that got him. ]

[pardamned]

[That gets a grin out of Arthur, unseen by Adrian of course.]

While I don't doubt a little feller like you might give them saloon girls a run for their money, I can't say I'm all too interested in your services.

[taxevasion]

It's not- a sex thing! It's called TEABAGGING. You do it when you WIN.

[pardamned]

Wait, let me get this straight. When you win against another feller, you take your balls out and put them on his face—and this ain't a sex thing?

[taxevasion]

Okay- well- I don't... actually do it, because it'd be really annoying to have to run over and do that every time- it's video game trash talk mostly- but that's not the point!

[pardamned]

I don't know what any of that means, but look, I ain't gonna judge you about what you get up to with other men. That ain't my business and it's a free country—well, we're from a free country, anyway.

[taxevasion]

Oh my God, stop! Just stop! You're not getting it at all! It's not gay! It's just about dominance!

[ some day he'll get it. some day. ]

[pardamned]

I'm sure it makes you feel very dominant, but you ain't gotta go explaining yourself to me.

[Now he just thinks Adrian's feeling insecure, kind of like how Bill overcompensates with his own attempts at seeming macho. He's seen this before, Adrian, don't worry, he gets it.]

[taxevasion]

Ugh! You're ruining everything!

[ He WAS going to kill Arthur because he's a criminal, but NOW it's going to seem like he's going to kill him because he embarrassed him!! That gives a totally different vibe and not at all what he wants people to think of him! He can take some embarrassment- easily! Now it's going to seem like REVENGE instead of VIGILANCE. UGH!! ]

[pardamned]

Oh, quit your whining.

[Arthur enjoys humiliating assholes as much as the next guy, but Adrian seems to be handling that all on his own and he's not actually interesting in dragging this out further.]

Maybe you should cut your losses here, kid.

[taxevasion]

[ He hangs up. He should have done that a while ago but he's bad at letting things die. Unless he's killing them. He'll just have to find another way to get at Tacitus. Or wait until enough time's passed that it can seem totally unrelated to this. ]
