TEXT MINGLE #1: CYBERCHARM 💞

One way or another, if you find yourself opening your aXess Link device, you may notice a curious pre-installed application. It's called CyberCharm! Otherworlders skeptical or curious alike, and feel compelled to investigate this program, will notice that the interface's AI has been hit with a glitch, causing users to discover a pre-generated dating profile has already been filled out for them. If any users wish to change or delete their profile, they must do so before anyone else responds, otherwise they could be saddled with an embarrassing pre-generated profile! Once responded to, users are locked out of changing it for the next month! So please make certain you are satisfied with your profile before it's too late!

2. The app's system is a little confused, and isn't quite sure what body count means. Could it be how many people you've slept with, or does it mean how many people you've killed? Feel free to respond to this however you see fit.
3. Respond to other profiles with the ✖ / PASS! or 💖 / MATCH!
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

[Revealing his actual plans sounds too much of a pain. He doesn't want to explain just how affecting his time in the furthest corner of the universe, or the little journey he had embarked alongside Alpha and Omega.]

MY plan is to enjoy what this star has to offer
(˘︶˘).｡.:*❀

[emet_sulk]

I'm not sure what you're asking. The seat of Emet-Selch has always gone to one with the keenest soulsight as they preside over all matters pertaining to the aetherial realm. It should have gone to an old friend of mine but he declined and nominated me instead.

I am no god either but I do possess an affinity for the Underworld. I can call upon its power and guide souls to their rest.

[emet_sulk]

...Of course it is.

[ Colour him unsurprised. ]

What IS that thing supposed to be? Is that a flower?

[lightduties]

Aziraphale... the friend? He doesn't know half the terms being thrown around here, but Rhea'li is very, very good at keeping a placid expression and looking like he understands. He's also very good at pushing through a conversation while knowing nothing.

So Rhea'li replies with a wry smile, "Nay, it does seem rather unlikely you would be paid to make a motorway more evil here."

These days most of his money matters are handled by another, but...

"So you've not had to think about money then. Would you... like assistance with your finances once you have employment?"

[lightduties]

aye
azem taught me how to make these funny pictures
(┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻
see?
arent they interesting?

[emet_sulk]

Do you now? I find that hard to believe with all the times I vaguely recall you ignoring the Convocation's rulings.

[bodyoftheseus]

Nothing great was ever had by playing it safe. Nowhere worth being but the edge.

[starshepard]

its not my fault that rulings didnt line up with what was really best

[emet_sulk]

I suppose.

I am more concerned about Synthesis.

[starshepard]

[ The little wag of his tail is noticed by Azem and they can't help but think it's cute. ]

Ah, yes, it was a story you wanted. [ They put on a show of looking thoughtful before grinning. ]

I think I have just the story. The one about how I fought a volcano. [ Their grin widens as they lean in toward him. ]

[starshepard]

that is another interesting concept
i am rather curious to see how it works

[queenofkur]

I very much am, yes.

However, I need to apologize. I said some things that were undignified from one such as myself. [Even though she did mean those things, she's usually a lot more reserved.] I must confess to not being as knowledgeable as I should be when it comes to monotheistic religions. It is best to disregard everything I said.

[thindarkduke]

Apology unnecessary, but you can consider it accepted.

I still think you seem a nice sort. Even if I am biased by being a presided-over snake. 🐍

[thindarkduke]

Rhea'li is absolutely doing a great job at being easy to talk to.

"It was one of my neater jobs, really. Couple of tricky bits, and then it just ran itself after that. No one really appreciated it, though, they were all about the individual temptations, getting one man to have lustful thoughts or something, rather than the sort of bulk evil from making a motorway into an arcane sigil or knocking out the phone network for an entire city. No appreciation for efficiency." It's not like he likes hurting people, but he did have some good ideas for evil sometimes. "Upper management thought enough of it to keep me in place, anyway."

"Are you an... accountant?" Crowley blinks. He doesn't look the type. "I, ah. Hm. Well, I'm not used to having to think about how much things cost. Probably harder to just miracle away even if I did have my proper abilities back, with everything digital--cash is much easier... Should I have a budget? No idea how to do that."

[emet_sulk]

I suppose, but what is that thing trying to do?

I can see that it is angry.

[thindarkduke]

Just commenting on linguistic similarities, I suppose. אמת, which gets written in English as 'emet', means truth. And there are stories of it being inscribed on the foreheads of clay statues to bring them to life to protect people.

No god, but your people create life, and you have some charge of the dead?

[booksandbathtubs]

Too open ended. Give me a topic.

[Look, he hates it too. He went back and read it and will never let the AI do anything for him again.]

[thindarkduke]

Ah, but I have no idea what qualifies as forbidden knowledge for you, I might end up asking about something perfectly ordinary, and wouldn’t that be disappointing for both of us?

A selection of potentially interesting topics, regardless: Lost empires, life after death, gods, the existence of magic.

[Much more terse than the AI, apparently.]

[lightduties]

see how the lines look like a table when viewed from the side?
the curved lines represent the motion of it
as the person is so angry that they threw the table
its such a quaint expression of emotion

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li's eyebrows rise into his fringe.]

You fought a volcano?

[Rhea'li leans against a railing.]

Now I must know how you managed such a feat.

[emet_sulk]

[ Maybe if things hadn't turned out the way they did, that is who he would have become. ]

Yes, well, the concept of 'god' is relative to the ones who created it, is it not?

I can sit here and insist I am not a god but that would not matter to the mortal man whose scope of knowledge and existence is contained within mortal boundaries. I am immortal if I'm not struck down by sickness or fatal injury; I had a hand in the creation of concepts still seen in the present day; by their terms, I would be a god.

Meanwhile MY people did create a god, but can a god truly be a god if they were sculpted by hand and all their flaws and limitations known? 'Tis hubris, I think, to think oneself a god. Mortal men have done so more times than I can count and always fallen for it. My own people were so blinded by complacency that they were almost entirely consumed by their own despair.

So, as interesting as it is that I share a name with a god worshipped on your star, I think I shall continue to see myself as any other man, because I would think fourteen gods would not need to sacrifice half their people to avert their star's end.

[emet_sulk]

[ Once upon a time that would have annoyed him. Now he just smiles. ]

Well, I suppose you won't have to worry about that here.

[emet_sulk]

It sounds similar to our people's practice of sharing aether.

Slightly less intimate perhaps but the idea is there.

[emet_sulk]

I see.

[queenofkur]

Really? Thank you!

[ Now it's the text message itself that's sparkling. ]

I think you're pretty nice too, even if you weren't a snake.
