【NPC CONTACT】

NPC Contact

These threads can be used to initiate interactions with the various NPCs of the setting. You are welcome to contact NPCs as often and as many times as you want in order to interrogate the setting or form bonds with them. Contact can be as actions or, if your character has met the NPC before, by using an audio or video private calling method.

If there’s a particular line of inquiry or setting detail you are investigating, feel free to mention so in the thread. I will try to focus the replies on answering the questions your characters are investigating.

KAMI of LOVE

It is said that Starsand City is built upon the foundation of her love. The Kami of Love is the one who revealed the existence of spirits to the world five years ago and started the “Faith Revolution” era of this world. She lives in a large shrine (more like a castle) and invites the citizens to visit at any time. When you have a problem, the people of Starsand will first suggest that you go to the Kami of Love to solve it.

KAMI of CURIOSITY

This Kami gains power from the questioning nature of humans, which makes him quite powerful compared to his fellow Kami. His shrine acts as the city library and is open to the public. Specific questions can be written on paper and left at the front desk, where the Kami of Curiosity will leave his reply within 24 hours. Curiously (ha,) he also has the power to heal wounds. When civilians are grievously injured, they will be taken to this Kami for healing. Some people have even claimed that they’ve died, only to wake up in the library without any injury.

yumeno, omiCHRON

A 15 year old girl, who often helps Fallen Stars settle into Starsand City. She tries to give off an air of authority and claims that helping people is her job. When she isn’t offering her help around the city, Chron can be found at the local high school. She’s a member of the student disciplinary committee there and one of the top students. Chron is also quite liberal with handing out her “work number” to the people that she meets, encouraging Fallen Stars to call if they need anything.

YUUTO

A quiet resident of the city, who seems about an elusive as a stray cat. When he does get talking, Yuuto is an energetic person and surprisingly friendly. He’s quick to help people in need, but has a way of disappearing the moment that you turn away from him. The people of Starsand can’t say much about him, but mention his strange pink-gold eyes and someone is bound to tell you about a helpful ghost with similar eyes.

MIKALE reed

One of the residents of Starsand City and the owner of the “Heart Bakery.” Though, he will sigh and quietly insist that you just call it “The Bakery.” His bakery gives all leftover products to the Fallen Stars and he hires baking assistants in the morning. Mikale himself is quietly generous, willing to lend help to the other worldly visitors. He also frequents the Shrine of Love and Shrine of Curiosity, often acting as an assistant.

DIMITRI

You’ll rarely hear about this young man, nor are you very likely to find him. He tends to show up for only the briefest of moments, usually in places that sell books or offer tea. Those who have had run-ins may know that he’s two-faced. He can be incredibly pleasant and cheerful or irritable and stern. Whatever mind you find him in, his dark cloak is what draws most attention. It shimmers like a starry sky if you’re lucky enough to see it for long.

I'm not a parent, no. But what I am is an analyst who has been studying pyschology in order to help people.

[ After everything she's been through, she wants to be able to help others in the one way she knows she can. ]

I don't know what the others' plan on doing. But personally, I have no plans on asking them for anything that they don't want to talk about. I want to help, not envoke-- or well, retraumatize them. If it's something they don't want to say, then we'll just have to deal with that and work with it.

[ai_nnihilate]

Thank you for that much. If you all need information, then we adults can do our best to provide. Shugo and I, at least. Mikale may need more time.

[Retraumatizing the family was what Satou has always tried to avoid. It drives her crazy to realize that someone is threatening not just her family, but their healing process.]

Ah, sorry... I got off track. Where were we..?

[dereban]

Just because you're an adult doesn't mean that you can't also retraumatize yourself.

[ Just putting that out there, in a way that's meant to be kind. ]

And it's not a problem at all. We were mostly talking about Yuuto...

[ai_nnihilate]

That's why we're going to leave Mikale out of it for now. But Shugo and I are probably fine. We can't ignore it anymore.

[Though she appreciates the sentiment.

Ah yes. Her dumbest baby.]

Did he tell you what his Rumor is? [And does Inaba want to know? Or would she rather not be influenced by 'knowing?']

[dereban]

He didn't. But... I'll wait for him to tell me himself.

[ai_nnihilate]

Ah. Good answer. If you cared more about his Rumor than his life, then I'd have thrown you off the balcony.

[It's hard to tell if she's joking.]

Yuu-kun thinks it's so obvious. I think if he heard what you thought it was, he'd be happy.

[dereban]

I would like to not be thrown off the balcony any day, thanks. Had enough dying for the next... I want to say eighty years or so.

He says it's 'so obvious' but honestly, I wouldn't have any guesses. I don't want to like, haphazardly guess at something that like -- manifested them, you know? It sounds too cruel.
