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!

[starshepard]

you make it sound as if we're unruly children
we can be mature when needs be

[ Just image them speaking in their faux-offended tone. ]

[emet_sulk]

It seems to have replaced my aether. Mayhap 'tis why I cannot use magic.

[emet_sulk]

And how often do you feel that need?

[ >:| ]

[emet_sulk]

Amongst my people, I was known for being able to call upon the power of the Underworld but I do not watch over death the way you describe. All lost souls will find their way back to the star eventually. No guardian or god is necessary.

[lightduties]

[He hopes so, too. For perfectly wholesome reasons. Yeah.

Rhea'li's just going to try to stop thinking about whether shards of the same soul are naturally drawn to each other ("attracted" to each other) while he responds in their other conversation.]

[lightduties]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The response takes a little longer than usual.]

id like that
where shall we meet?

[He hasn't seen a good place for this sort of thing... not with these crowded streets and all.]

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li can't help but smile a little, even if Libra can't see it.]

aye
just be sure to be in a quiet place
for the device may receive the sounds and voices of others around you

let us meet in the evergreen terrace lobby?
the building is still rather strange to navigate
if tis too noisy we can move to your apartment from there

[lightduties]

[If there is one thing he has learned from his journey, 'tis that gods are made from man. Not higher beings but flawed just like the people who created them. Still, to be directly involved in both Hydaelyn and the Twelve's departure... to, in a way, slay them as he once slew others' gods...

He doesn't want to dwell on that thought for too long.]

im sure you will find some way to rouse yourself to give me an earful if that were to occur

[Even if both of them would likely have long passed out from the Lifestream if that were to occur.]

man existed without gods before
we will be alright

in any case the twelve left a device that would perform their function

[He's not sure how it works at all. Still, despite his words, he doesn't think it's a good idea to tell the public the truth of this matter...]

[lightduties]

[Absolutely. And Rhea'li has no reason to think otherwise. Besides, what in the seven hells is a car? It's on John's profile but further mention of it hasn't given him additional clues to what that is.]

shes less a pet and more a beast of burden
a chocobo

[Animal terminology so far has seemed consistent with the locals and with others from other worlds, so it doesn't occur to him this point may need to be explained.]

i travel much so tis useful to have a companion who can carry supplies and defend herself if needed
shes a mildmannered creature but all the bright lights and loud metal transports here would startle even her

you mentioned cars in your profile too
what are they?

[emet_sulk]

How convenient for them. I hope you're right.

I take it from the fact that you are hale and whole that the Satrap didn't burn you to a crisp for breaking into his vault?

[queenofkur]

Well

I haven't thought that far just yet

Maybe they need a goddess of death here too...?

Regardless it would be most shameless if my first thought was to have fun.

[lightduties]

nay we rescued his sister who has been trapped on the thirteenth for many ages
and vrtra is far too nice for that
even when one of our party broke his guardians a second time

DID you know the satrap was vrtra?

[Casually assuming Emet-Selch knows the name of all of Midgardsormr's children.]

[thindarkduke]

❤

Anything that moves, eh?

[aneffingpencil]

Don't think we have chocobos where I come from. [Just like Rhea'li doesn't have cars where he comes from, it seems.]

They're vehicles. [A pause; that may not be enough.] Machines designed for travel and transportation. Four wheels, usually seats about 4-5 people. Have a fondness for the older kinds, couple decades old. Muscle cars, they have more powerful engines than normal. Allows them to go faster, longer. Boxier shapes, cause that used to be the style. More rugged generally too, take a bit more punishment. Mine was a 1969 Mustang.

[thindarkduke]

✖

[He's not really into heterosexuals. Gender is optional for Crowley, but being gay is more fun. However... he's an action movie fan.]

John Wick? Aren't you a hitman? Or is the cinema telling me lies?

[aneffingpencil]

[Okay, this gives John a bit of a shock. The first, someone else seeming to recognize him again, but more definite than V because this guy uses John's name and former profession. But the "how" of it makes no sense.]

I'm not a hitman. [Anymore. Despite all the dead bodies. Those were self-defense. They came looking to kill him and he couldn't let them do that.]

The cinema?

[That's...all he can really say. What do movies have to do with him?

[thindarkduke]

Weird coincidence of your name and your face, then. Whole series of films about John Wick getting revenge and such. I prefer Bond, but they're not bad action movies. You've even got a dog.

[It could be a coincidence! Or it could be fictional people are here too? Why not, Crowley guesses. This might as well happen.]

[aneffingpencil]

[There's a very pronounced pause before Crowley gets a response.]

Don't really know what to say to that.

[His life wasn't a movie. It was lonely, it was hard, it was brutal, and it was bloody, so, so bloody. He'd known only a few years of peace with Helen before it all fell apart again. It wasn't...entertainment.]

Revenge for what? [As if he doesn't have a damn good feeling what Crowley's answer will be.]

[thindarkduke]

I mean, fair, yeah, weird concept to have someone have seen a movie about you.

[As Crowley will learn if anyone turns up who knows about Good Omens.]

You ever have a dog named Daisy?

[aneffingpencil]

Yeah.

[thindarkduke]

I'm uh. Sorry for your loss. Of her and... your wife.

[Well. This is awkward. Possibly did not think this chain of revelations through.]

So... cars. I've got a 1933 Bentley. Mint condition. Lovely thing. Wish she was here. What's yours?

[aneffingpencil]

[There's so much John could ask here; how many movies? How much of his life is just public knowledge to anyone with a BD player? Did his wife's death make for good entertainment? Did anything that followed? But he absolutely will not do those things. In fact, he's just not going to do anything with it. The fact that his life are a bunch of action movies in some other world is just...going to be put away. Compartmentalized. Aware, but not acknowledged. The guy seems to realize dredging all this up might have been a mistake too, so. Carry on, then.]

Thank you.

Was telling someone else, but it's a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. Used to take it out to a track I know and let her rip. Had to put it into the shop, though.

[He was unlikely to see it again even before he came here. As far as he knows, Aurelio still has possession of the wreck, assuming the High Table hadn't gone after him too. Even if it hasn't, he'd have had to stop working on it when John was made excommunicado, if only because the High Table would be watching. It's probably rusting in a scrapyard somewhere now; even refurbishing it to sell to someone else would probably be too dangerous. "John Wick's Car" is not something the Table is going to want being driven around by someone else, or sought after by fans.]

[thindarkduke]

Oh, that's a pretty one. Pity. I hope they have cars here. Cars are fun. One of humanity's better inventions. Never gone out to a track, but I guess going ninety in central London is close enough for me.

[What would happen to the Bentley without him? Would Shax take it, too? Revolting concept. He hopes not. There's no way she can drive, anyway.]

[queenofkur]

I see. [Similar to the post-Age of Gods era then.] Even if you are not to care for the souls individually as I do, you still have a duty to them. Having such an affinity to the Underworld is something to be proud of.

[emet_sulk]

Of course I did. There is not a single soul on this star which can hide from MY eyes.

[ Wait. ]

I'm sorry, did you say you rescued his SISTER?
