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!

3. Respond to other profiles with the ✖ / PASS! or 💖 / MATCH!
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

[emet_sulk]

That sounds very much like our 'Echo'. The resonance between two souls that allows for mutual understanding regardless of language.

Well, I look forward to meeting you at some point I suppose. I'm sure our paths will cross eventually.

[gilgamess]

I keep hearing of this "AI". From the way it is spoken of, I can only conclude it to be a spirit within a machine. Yet it would seem the spirit is not a graceful writer.

[ when even a man with this much of a flair for the dramatic is saying that, you know it's bad. ]

Indeed, I am Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, the first of mankind's heroes. Perhaps you would know of my legend...

[lightduties]

Rhea'li leans a hand on his chin.

"You sell yourself short. You're a most enjoyable conversationalist and I've quite enjoyed your company."

There isn't a hint of irony in his delivery; he means it through and through.

[thindarkduke]

“Entertaining, yeah, that I can manage. Got practice at that. Doesn’t mean I have a trustworthy air about me. Nor should I, demon that I am. Personal connection’s never really been on the table.”

[starshepard]

My big strong warrior body, hmm? Thinking a lot about that? [ They grin before letting out a laugh. ]

Fair enough. [ They roll off of him and shove themselves back up on their feet in a quick flourish. ]

[starshepard]

[ Azem hums in response. ]

I'm not sure if I like it. It's not a bad combination of salty and sweet. [ They take another bite and chew it just as thoughtfully as the first. ]

How is yours?

[queenofkur]

I am still getting used to it.

But it is quite nice.

The surface world is full of surprises.

[queenofkur]

Neither am I.

I doubt not people here will still find what I represent evil.

But I don't mind it as much, so long as even a few do not believe me to be evil.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Is that so... This is all typical to me, except for magic.

I am guessing you didn't go out to the surface world much before?

[queenofkur]

You are correct. As Goddess of Death, I could never leave the Underworld.

It is only recently thanks to this avatar I have been able to see the surface.

[peacewithouttyranny]

I see.

Forgive my assumption but I'd think a god would have much more freedom? That doesn't appear to be the case, if you couldn't leave your domain.

[queenofkur]

I swore to never leave the Underworld.

In exchange, my authority is absolute while in there. Not even the mightiest of gods could stand a chance against me.

That's the price I chose to pay to keep the souls of the dead safe.

[lightduties]

[Well... they're not wrong. Especially with their profile.]

You have plenty being left to the imagination.

[The moment Azem is off him Rhea'li lashes out with a foot, aiming to strike at their legs and break their balance, just as they had attempted on him earlier.]

[lightduties]

Should, again. He's met many people who have lived shackled to these hidden rules and duties. Some take pride in them, others are chained by them. Still, he tilts his head. It's so strange to think of a demon as being anxious but in his few interactions with Crowley, that's the impression he has.

"You don't have a trustworthy air about you? I hardly realised."

Though historically, Rhea'li has been a remarkably poor judge of character.

"What do you believe makes for a 'trustworthy air'?"

[thindarkduke]

Anxious, maybe. Self-esteem problem, definitely. Millennia rejected by your own creator for asking why, for caring too much about the things that you made.

"Er..." Good question. "Not being shady? Honesty? Earnestness? Dunno. Not really in my wheelhouse, is it, trustworthiness is more a Good thing than an Evil one. Not that most angels I've met are notably trustworthy. Sandalphon seems like someone legally barred from being near schools. And Gabriel has the trustworthy air of a used car salesman. Fucker." He's not going to stop bearing Gabriel a grudge for 'shut your stupid face and die already' now that the ex-archangel has gone and run off with the Lord of the Flies. If Gabriel had never gone running out of Heaven and down to Aziraphale's bookshop, if Gabriel hadn't vacated his post, Aziraphale would still be on Earth. And probably Crowley wouldn't have gone about driving into mysterious portals if he still had his best friend.

[casull]

AI, this technology is called? Yet another attempt by humans to grasp at immortality, perhaps.

[ what were a demon and a vampire to even say, when it came to such a thing? ]

My experience with "technology," as you will imagine, was of the kind more associated with ammunition. [ Alucard did have something of a private fondness for Hollywood movies, but this world was far beyond anything he had encountered. ] If you're a demon and thus familiar with different eras, perhaps you know the 1990s and 2000s.

This was the most recent era I have witnessed. In this time, I saw London burned to cinders and torn asunder... war.

[ behind his sunglasses, Alucard is contemplating. not that one would see over text. ]

I can only imagine what sort of weapons could be produced by a world with this sort of technology, though. [ is that a bit of curiosity? ] But where are my manners? You asked a question, so I shall answer: indeed, that legend is mine. Though now I go by Alucard. I am certain you can make the connection. Crowley, is it? I think there are enough clues as to your identity, as well.

An honor to make your acquaintance, I suppose.

[casull]

[ Alucard still does not understand how this man could be connected to Anderson. Assuming he means him? But then, those had been some very specific hints.

The alternative is that there were two priests who had alliterative initials and fought with blessed blades. But that did seem improbable.

However, the broader point here is equally strange. ]

As you might imagine, the Church and I are not known to get along.

sry4crusty and i'm gonna also just say he saw this super late icly too bc it tracks lol

[casull]

Oh? What have we here?

[ he gives so few fucks he hardly even noticed the AI profile, whoops. it was mainly Integra and Crowley alerting him. but... well, that profile did not leave much to the imagination. ]

A "dating application"? What nonsense...

[thindarkduke]

Oh, yeah, definitely know the 1990s and 2000s. My London wasn't burned to cinders in them, though I suppose it was a bit of a near thing in the 2010s when Armageddon almost happened. Who was the war with?

Hope they don't make too many weapons with it, to be honest. Library told me they've got some kind of light magic that's inimical to demons and suchlike denizens of the night--probably would work on you, too.

[Absolutely no thought that Alucard might use that kind of thing himself, just seemed like a fair warning to give.]

I can be clear, if you like--Serpent of Eden, if you're familiar with that one.

It's certainly interesting to make your acquaintance, Alucard.

[problemagus]

Ironic, I suppose, given that you devoted your life to crusading in the name of Christ.

( He hopes to give Vlad a good chuckle with that. )

In my limited experience, I've only known those of the Christian persuasion to be fanatical whackjobs that'll stop at nothing until you either convert to their cult or die by their hand if you refuse.
As for me, mages trend atheistic, though I've dabbled with Eastern spirituality.
Buddhism and Shintoism to be precise.

[emet_sulk]

[ He glances at the remaining slices on his plate. Nudges it towards Azem. ]

Try it yourself and see what you think.

[ It's basically a pepperoni pizza. ]

[nohuggingclause]

The heart! The yeses! The stupid dating questions! They're all gross!

[No, it doesn't have issues. Why do you ask.]

[nohuggingclause]

[Wgat.]

Are you saying that there's ghosts here.

no worries o/

[emet_sulk]

Are you as dramatic as this generated text makes you sound or is it complete fabrication?

[lightduties]

nay not ghosts
there are some i know for certain were dead before their arrival

[Cause of death: him.]
