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!

How does one become a 'fake' bard?

[He crosses his arms, looking offended.]

They don't. This is clearly a lie.

[ she raises her hands ]

Then you are a spy and a bard in your world? Or is spy also a lie?

I did, at one time, use my training as a bard as cover for intelligence gathering for the good of the realm. We were, after all, at war with an invading nation of conquerors who would see our way of life stifled for their own.

[He shrugs.]

Do I still employ those skills on occasion for the greater good? Of course. Would you not?

Mm. [ these are words that feel all too familiar. ] I would.

You say 'were' does that mean your skills served to save your realm?

Then we're in agreement. I realize you'll only have my word as bond, but I have never intentionally harmed innocents for personal gain. It would be an insult to my mentor's memory.

[And would go against everything he stands for, but this is neither the time nor place to go into it.]

They have to varying degrees of success. When I used "barding" as a cover? No. Not as such, but I...underestimated our enemy. I won't make that mistake again.

And one would never want to insult their mentor. [ It's the most polite way for her to say she doesn't really trust anyone on their word anymore. ]

I understand that lesson.

[He doesn't take offense. It's not as though he'd trust anyone simply on their word, either.]

Well, you have my sympathy for that.
esquim: (coe33lune-170)

[personal profile] esquim 2026-03-08 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Sympathy isn't needed.

[personal profile] rathertalented 2026-03-10 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it isn't, but it is offered, nonetheless. Fear not, Lune. I do not offer pity. You deserve more respect than that.

Bold words when we know so little of eachother.

[personal profile] rathertalented 2026-03-11 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if one assumes it is not a basic right of all living things to deserve some degree of respect. Thus far you have proven yourself inquisitive and intelligent, observant and reasonable; far above pity. Sympathy, though? How doesn't deserve sympathy?

I meant saying that I 'deserve' respect. I was also only teasing, it would seem I really have grown very rusty at that.

Ah. [And he chuckles here.] You may not be the only one of us a tad out of practice. I'll see what I can do about that.

They do say practice makes perfect. I'm certain you'll be able to find some people here to stretch your skills with.
