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)

[ As he speaks, Azem feels what he says in their bones. That desire to see beyond the city walls grows stronger within them. ]

Aye. As intriguing as this city is I ache to see the lands that lie beyond.

[casull]

Creatures of the night, they're called in the world I come from. Vampires. Fangs and drinking blood... as well as other stereotypes, some of which are indeed stereotypes, some of which I or others embody.

[ he's gathered that the people here are from various worlds. maybe his kind or something like it existed elsewhere. ]

Though one might say I am the patriarch and lord thereof, so to speak.

[emet_sulk]

Ah, a vrykolakas. Interesting. Are you a natural-born creature or man-made?

[lightduties]

Is that so?

[His tails flicks.]

An explorer, then?

[He knows the answer isn't that, but perhaps a little subterfuge has rubbed off on him from his friends. He hopes Azem will elaborate further.]

[gilgamess]

Then I can only conclude your world must not be Earth, or any version I am familiar with, for my legend is the oldest in the written history of that realm. In my era, I journeyed to the end of the Earth and conquered all challenges.

Yet, of course, as I lived at the beginning of written history, the technology in my era was far simpler. Though, in the form of a Servant, I have been summoned to later eras... still, this world is beyond any future I have encountered.

[starshepard]

[ Azem's happy to elaborate further. Or at least, give the most simplified answer they can. ]

Of sorts, yes. 'Tis my job, you could say. I travel the star, making new discoveries and helping those in need. However, even if wasn't my job I would still happily travel.

[ They smile proudly. ]

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li can't help but smile in return.]

Were there others with a job like yours? Any travelling companions?

[booksandbathtubs]

Correct. While I'm not the preeminent expert on the universe, I don't know of any place called "Earth" anywhere near where I reside when home. I won't say it doesn't exist, but I haven't learned anything of it.

'Form of a Servant', what, exactly, does that mean?

[starshepard]

With my exact job, yes, there were others before me. My mentor was one such person. [ They grin, thinking about their time spent with Venat before arriving here. They can only think about how much she'd love exploring this place. ]

Sometimes others traveled with me, though they often had their own interest or work that prevented them from joining me. However, [ they lean in with a conspiratorial grin and lower their voice as if there are others around to overhear, ] I have a spell to bring others to my side if I so desire.

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li leans closer when Azem leans in and grins when they reveal their little 'secret'. He knows the exact spell; he has it housed in the very crystal he's kept safe in a pouch.]

How convenient! If they were carrying food and drinks before you used your spell, you could have a rather pleasant party at a newly discovered vista with ease.

[starshepard]

'Tis convenient indeed. [ They lean back with a smile. ]

However, that does require a degree of coordination to ensure they're ready with everything.

had to go look that up loool

[casull]

Never heard the term, but if that's the word in your culture for an undead being who drinks blood... then, yes, I suppose so.

[ it wouldn't at all be surprising to think other cultures had some kind of analogue. even in his world, there were whole different forms of vampire lore... and vampires made in different ways and through different means. ]

As for your question... you might say I'm both. I was born a human, like any other. But you could say my current existence is a man-made one... though the man who made me was none other than myself. I drank blood in defiance of death, becoming what many would come to call a monster. A decision made centuries ago.

And yourself? Your inquisitiveness intrigued me sufficiently to take a glance at your profile. "Genocide"? Quite the story, I assume.

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li holds up his aXcess link device.]

With these, coordination would be a breeze.

[A grin.]

I'm certain it would not be so difficult to have people agree to it. They need not carry dishes so long a distance and food would be piping hot.

[starshepard]

[ Azem looks at their own. ]

True! This would make it easier. However, I need to regain that spell first.

[ They don't know when that will happen, however. ]

[lightduties]

[He'd felt a little of his power return over the days, so mayhap the spell would return to Azem in time, too. Though... why does he have a sneaking suspicion Azem would inform them that they have it back with an unannounced demonstration...? (Mayhap it has something to do with Emet-Selch telling him Azem would summon him while he was bathing for "emergencies"...)]

So, 'tis a promise then? When your spell returns to you, we shall have a party at a local vista you have discovered?

[Rhea'li grins, tail twitching in mild mischief.]

[emet_sulk]

Vrykolakas are not undead. While certainly not 'real' creatures, they are quite alive and drink blood just as you say you do.

[ Undead creatures have very specific qualities. But anyway-- ]

As for my own profile, I did not write it myself.

[gilgamess]

[ this conversation feels very familiar, oops, this is what i get for tagging back real late lol. we'll just leave the other and continue here ig.

-- so where was the other individual from, in any case? well, in Magisteria, they did seem to come from numerous lands and worlds. ]

In my world, great heroes who have become legends can be summoned after their deaths as heroic spirits, also called Servants. In such a form, they are sustained as ephemeral beings made of mana, which I gather to be somewhat akin to the Bios of this world.

[ in fact, Gilgamesh was now being sustained by Bios, one would presume, his mana having been converted to that. ]

[starshepard]

[ Because Azem would absolutely inform everyone they have that spell back by summoning people to their side. It'd be too funny not to do it that way. ]

Aye, when I get that magic back I we will go somewhere nice.

[ Azem can't help but watch as Rhea'li's tail twitches and think how cute it is. ]

I will need to do some further exploration first.
