SHIVER ME TINDERS



Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

Please use this profile box: (square images work the best)

Now where did this come from? It hasn't been warm enough to not risk hypothermia by the water in months.


...I suppose I was on enforced rest in one of the oasis towns, but I'm reasonably sure no one was behind me.

Hey, I mean. Sun's out, gun's out. What's there to worry about?

Didn't take you for a blonde, though.

If someone was behind me, I'd prefer to know about it.

I was! As a child. It changed, after a certain point.

Yeah?

Alright, I'm curious now. What was your childhood like, Miriam?


[You know, before the Big Bang.]

Well. A bit limited. We weren't permitted to leave the grounds unaccompanied, and most things we did involved training and discipline.

Most of the Alchemists kept their distance from us, but Alfred wasn't one of them. He let me help around his study sometimes. I'm not certain how much I actually helped, I mostly carried jars and boxes around. But it was peaceful there, and he'd listen if I had questions.

Almost sounds like the military.

I'm glad to hear you found some peace in all that. I'm picturing you waddling around with an armful of boxes, three boxes too high, now.

[Offscreen, Miriam laughs.]

Not too far off from the truth.

I also carried a jar of calendula flowers the size of my torso once. I was quite proud of myself. Alfred seemed a bit concerned.

And you liked helping and doing the work? Seems like it. Sounds like you were a good kid.

[hey what the fuck she wasn't ready for emotions today??]

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.

[Sometimes it was hard to smile on command. At the moment, Miriam couldn't stop; either the silly little grin on her face, or the light thing bouncing around in her chest.]

[Talking about childhoods... It's cute.]

Tell me about your favourite thing about those days. I want to know everything now.

Can't swim? Did you just never learn? Or is this one of those weirdly inaccurate things going around?
crystalrepose: (07)

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2026-03-06 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I wouldn't say I'm particularly graceful about it, though I've been getting better about it here, with instruction. But I could tread water without drowning! Or propel myself with magic.

This doesn't seem entirely truthful, no.

[personal profile] sunbursted 2026-03-06 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. I was gonna say I could help teach you if it was real. I do know how to swim without using thousand forms.

[ like there's anybody here who's going to accuse her of not swimming properly and just leaning on her ability to make herself gills and fins. ]

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2026-03-06 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Darin's teaching me how, though it hasn't been warm enough for much practice. Thank you, though!

I can manage with a mer transformation charm or potion, but that seems obvious.
sunbursted: (18034901)

[personal profile] sunbursted 2026-03-08 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's true. It's been really cold lately, hasn't it? Maybe when things are warmer, you'll get some more practice. Sometimes I miss swimming when it's cold like this.

Yeah, that's like my thousand forms. Kind of cheating in this scenario.

I see I am not the only one whose age the culprits cannot seem to understand. I’m confused about how they’ve found information on people here but some of it is very wrong or confusing.

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2026-03-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...for me at least, it is a bit complicated. I'm both at once, in a sense.

Many seem to just be guesses. I assume someone thinks they're being funny.

How does that work exactly? Being both at the same time?

I was in stasis for ten years. My mind and form didn't age a day; it was the rest of the world that changed without me.

I have heard of magic like that before in Thedas, but never seen it.

And you were asleep the whole time?


[Well now he kind of feels bad about asking.]

[her life is a series of "that's rough, buddy" gifs tbh]

Yes; I wasn't aware of the passage of time. My friend kept my body safe, though I imagine it wasn't easy at times.

[Now he feels even worse!]

That is unfortunate.


I am glad you are free. I know what it is like to not be. Waking up knowing you were not was difficult.
