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!

Guidelines:
1. Please fill out the provided code below! You may write it in the IC style of your character, or as the CyberCharm app would have provided for them. You may modify the code to your heart's content!
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!
(Inspiration for this event has been taken from synflux)

[gilgamess]

What audacity! I myself am a historical being of the sort you supposedly seek, yet this material is so vague as to be utterly useless! Sir, you are in need of a curator, an editor. Were I in my kingdom, I had scribes.

[ well, okay, so this is why AI does not pass for a human, huh, Ratio? yikes. hopefully not as bad as the AI would make one presume? ]

oops I used the wrong face back there

[emet_sulk]

[ Thinking about it, that does sound like what his people did. Although many of them would argue they did not create sentience.

(And probably just as many would argue that they did.) ]

I see. I suppose then from your perspective I and my people are 'angels'.

What were those letters you used before for my title?

[queenofkur]

No, not at all.

I prefer it that way.

I am just unaccustomed to people seeing beyond my title.

[thindarkduke]

Do you have a full understanding of your feats, then?

You mean אמת? 's Hebrew. Language the Almighty's scriptures were first written in. Of course they've been translated into pretty much everything by this point, but I always liked Hebrew, and translation inherently introduces change. Including in pronunciation--the way the names get transliterated is weird.

[starshepard]

You've had it already? [ They look a little disappointed by that news. ]

[emet_sulk]

[ He twitches and hastily tries to think of a way to buoy Azem's spirits. ]

Pizza is a communal meal and I haven't shared one with you before. I'm sure it will taste different in better company.

[ Yes, good work on that save, Hades. ]

[booksandbathtubs]

Not yet, but I haven't been looking that hard. I've been looking for a library instead.

That explains why you know so much. You were there. Angels and demons then, are they a long living species? There are some like that on one of the planets in my galaxy.

Your belief system is quite... complicated.

[booksandbathtubs]

It was created by the AI feature provided. I didn't want to spend my time writing a dating profile. Or editing the text it spewed in the end.

Your 'kingdom', you are royalty of sorts?

[thindarkduke]

I found a library. It's a very weird library. An... entity manifested a scroll at me? Does seem to be able to answer questions about this place, at least somewhat.

Wouldn't call us a species. Not like we can breed. But angels are immortal unless killed with hellfire, and demons are immortal unless killed with-- well, nevermind that. We were created in the Beginning, and we've been here since. I helped make the universe, before I Fell. Was very proud of some of those nebulae.

...Wouldn't call it a belief system. I mean, the Almighty manifestly exists, as do angels and demons and Heaven and Hell and all. It'd be like believing in the postman. I've been getting in trouble for not being evil enough for thousands of years.

[aneffingpencil]

It's 2014 where I come from, and I'm not a musician. Never heard the name Arasaka before either. They a syndicate?

[If they are, it's not one that exists in John's world, or at least not one of the big players Under the Table. John's never been one for explosives, either. Too messy, too much collateral damage. He always aimed to be more precise in his work.]

[aneffingpencil]

Cloudkin. Right.

Yeah. Other parts of the country, the world. Going too far though means you'll probably have to fly, though. In planes. Machines designed for air travel. But even the cheap flights are expensive.

I've been around. Not so much the last few years though.

[aneffingpencil]

Got devices like this back home. Dating apps too. They don't write profiles for you, though. That's new.

[Checking this guy's profile...yeah, no kidding. That's simultaneously too much and also not enough. Still, John's not got the moral high ground here, so.]

What's your drink?

[Make connections, right? John doesn't really know how to do that, but this guy's a murderer too. Maybe he doesn't either. Gotta start somewhere, and John's always been a bourbon man at heart. Do they even have bourbon here?]

[emet_sulk]

[ It's a pretty obvious attempt at breaking the ice. Emet-Selch doesn't mind though. Drinks are a safe enough topic. ]

Wine, primarily. Red. I have a particular fondness for those made from the pressed grapes of a certain volcanic region back home.

[ He doesn't bother naming the region specifically since, well, this man surely won't have heard of it. ]

Yourself?

[aneffingpencil]

Ah. My wife liked to keep a bottle around. Special occasions. Hard to get, this vintage of yours?

Bourbon. Hoping it might exist here, but don't know for sure yet.

[starshepard]

Still, I'm sad you had it without me already. [ Like they're one to talk, having gone out to eat burgers with Rhea'li. ]

So, since you're the expert, what kind would you suggest?

[emet_sulk]

It comes and goes. When the volcano erupts, it destroys much of the settlement. There are centuries where it goes uninhabited. Even when people return, the wine they make is never quite the same. The quality of the crop used however cannot be understated.

Likewise, mayhap they do have bourbon here but it will not taste quite the way you are used to.

[emet_sulk]

...For you? Pineapple.

[ It's exactly the cursed sort of topping he expects Azem to appreciate. The expression on his face makes it clear he doesn't share the same sentiment though. ]

[emet_sulk]

I visualise a concept, gather the requisite aether, and then bring the concept into being. We did not make the stars as you did, perhaps, but we had a hand in the creation of new forms of life.

I do wonder if your Hebrew is anything similar to the original language of my people. I should like to hear it sometime.

[lightduties]

[He's forgotten all about that and looks upon the creature hologram in interest. It's always interesting to see a creature from ancient times that he can (or can't!) recognise in the present...

Once they're out in the field, Rhea'li watches Azem adjust their robes, tail flicking. He's quite aware of their difference in size and by his measure, Azem is more of physical fighter than himself and he's not so fool as to underestimate them.

The moment Azem declares their readiness, Rhea'li immediately darts forward and swings a fist up towards their solar plexus, intending afterwards to step back and away from Azem's immediate reach.]

[lightduties]

Rhea'li's tail flicks again, not startling at all when Crowley suddenly moves.

He rests his chin on his hands. "Do you wish to be good people, then?"

[starshepard]

[ Such a punch isn't a bad choice to start a fight, if one were to land it would wind their opponent. Unfortunately for Rhea'li, Azem steps to the side, hand coming up in an attempt to grab his wrist and spin him away from them.

They let out a little laugh as they do. ] Not a bad opening move.

[ Assuming he isn't thrown off balance by that, they'll sweep a leg to knock his feet out from under him. ]

[starshepard]

Pineapple, huh? Sounds interesting! What are you thinking of ordering?

[ They're next in line so they hope he's ready. ]

[thindarkduke]

"...Dunno. Never really thought I'd have the option. I mean, I don't... I've never wanted to... I saved Job's kids when they were supposed to get killed, and barely managed to get away with it. I've not been terribly successful at being bad people, I suppose is the point." Aziraphale was always so thrilled when Crowley did something good. He shoves back the memory of his smug face when he realized the goats were alive and continues the conversation. "Wouldn't really know where to begin. I mean, it's easy to just, avoid doing bad things one's been instructed to do, yeah, like, conceptually. But that's all... big things. Apocalypse. Murder. What's the opposite of gluing coins to the sidewalk?"

[emet_sulk]

Something with meat or seafood, I think.

[ The choices in toppings are wide and varied. He doesn't even recognise some of the names. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

I see.

In that case, it's good to meet you, Ereshkigal.

I hope you are finding this place well?
