I've been running low on inspiration recently, but this idea intrigues me. I just have a couple of questions, if you don't mind!

1) Is there an overarching story, like a narrative in the background, or is it just day to day office life? Will there be special events and the like?
2) It's human-only, but in the future, will there be options for corruption, demonic possession, demonic "ascension," etc? Just wondering!
3) What kind of Story / Smut split are you looking for?
4) What positions within this call-center are open? Is it just phone operators that are open, or will there be slots for IT, Secretaries, janitorial staff, management, etc?


I have an idea in my head for two characters, a female phone operator and / or secretary, and a male manager, so I'm gonna plant a flag of interest here. Just wondering about the specifics, as above ^_^

Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

1. That depends on how hopped up I am on pain killers after surgery XD I mean, sorta? But mostly it'll be slice of life. Special events might be "Employee Morale Booster" where the beatings will continue until morale improves!
2. Yes, until management finds out and then you get reassigned to another office.
3. I don't do smut but you can with other players.
4. Hourly only, so no managers, but secretaries, janitors, all that.

As someone who has both worked in a call center, and who has hired for callcenter positions, expecting a soul is unrealistic, it's going to get sucked up within the first week anyway and leave a lifeless husk with a blank stare.

Half-jokes aside, I'm not sure what I'd be interested in making, but I'm planting a flag of tentative interest.
I'm available on Discord!

A whole half a soul? That's a pretty high bar being set there, must be an elite call center.

Seems like a cool concept, I'm interested.

Sounds like a cool idea.  Irreverent and trope-twisting.  Interest flag planted.

I was considering a female Secretary and possibly a male Supervisor or something? One who is obsessed with demons and one who totally abuses his tiny amount of power in small ways xD

I think there's plenty of interest, the question now becomes if I should start it now or wait a bit?

I'm going to be unavailable in about 3 weeks and don't want to leave everyone hanging.

LOL. I'm really overcommitted, but going to keep an eye on this. Toying with the idea of a gloomy Goth for whom this is actually a dream job- b/c her customers EXPECT to be tortured by the 'no help' line...

*small flag planted off in the corner*
If one thinks of omniscience as causal rather than predictive- not 'THIS!', but 'If this, then that; infinite matrices of infinite dimensions each- it goes a long way towards reconciliation with Free Will.

It does not, however, make it easier to contemplate or accept a being capable of visualizing such an array.

Don't forget to complain about 'Dave' plugging up the toilet...again!

It seems interesting, I worked as a dispatcher at a call center, so yeah, I've only got half a soul left after dealing with idiot customers wondering why their 'guy' never showed up during the appointed time. Meanwhile, I had six outcalls to them with no answer in that period...eejits!

I think there's enough interest to move this from an interest check to an actual game. See first post once I get it edited.

Is there a Bio skeleton to fill out and get approved? Like, a format you'd like and what information to give?


Edit: Never mind, I'm an idiot. xD

Do you want backstories, or do we keep it nice and simple in regards to histories? ^_^
And do we put the sheets here, or in the linked Game Thread? :D

The level of detail is up to you. If you want to describe your entire life story, or just a few lines, that's up to you. And put them in your first post in the game thread.

A unisex bathroom would be funny. Then EVERYONE can complain about Dave clogging the toilets lol

Sounds fine to me, as long as you're like the bottom of the rung person that everyone likes to shove work onto.

Either an intern or entry level yes. They'll get stuff done which is why they get more work 😅
