The Tether App

After the raging success of their previous code push, the creators of The Tether have decided to push their app again, an app intended for helping new arrivals find Tethers.

Unfortunately for those who don't want to participate, the prompt for the application will keep popping up on their screen until they fill out the mandatory fields and post their profile. If you don't want to participate, it might be best to fill in the blanks with prank answers!

Once posted, the app creates a profile that looks like this:

	The Witch
«		»
	Age: ageless Gender: female Interests: three interests About: 30 words or less
	base code by photosynthesis
	Tian
	« ✘ ✔ »

It is a simple swiping type app like many dating apps, swipe left to ignore a profile, swipe right to initiate an instant messenger conversation with the person in question on the app's proprietary chat program, complete with emojis!

NOTE: This meme is game canon.

[It's still a bit strange to him every time Rokuro seems concerned for his wellbeing. Or acknowledges him as a leader, when he isn't in this place in any real capacity. It does something to mitigate being yelled at via text, respectfully or otherwise.]

I don't intend to die.

[noisecomplaint]

On your current path it does not matter if you intend to die or not. You will suffer, the people who care for you will suffer, and then you will be dead. Utterly pointlessly. Like a starving dog in the street who refuses scraps.

Is that the end you feel you deserve?

[forcecalls]

No.

[Maybe.]

I have someone in mind to tether with. As I said, I will handle this on my own.

[noisecomplaint]

I am relieved to hear you have plans in place to tether.

You deserve to die on the battlefield as all true warriors to do. Anything less would bring you great dishonour. I would not have risked my life to protect yours if I did not believe it was valuable to our cause.

If the person you have in mind does not agree to the union, may I suggest myself as a secondary option. I am Tian, and believe we have come to a certain understanding of one another.

[forcecalls]

[It speaks to the validity of Rokuro's points that Kylo has already considered this for the same reasons. Not that he intends to say that directly.]

I expect he will agree.

[Kylo has only delayed this long to satisfy himself that this tether sickness is a real and ongoing thing, which is also the information he needed to propose the idea to the one person he'd had in mind this whole time. If it's necessary for one of them, it will be for both.]

But I'll keep your offer in mind.

[noisecomplaint]

We are capable of tethering to six people of Heba and Tian allegiance.

In the event you require my service, you will always have a place with me.

[forcecalls]

What would be the point of further tethers?

[noisecomplaint]

Practically, to ensure you remain balanced if one of your partners dies or is somehow spirited away from here. One could also argue there is strength and safety in numbers.

On a personal level... I do not wish for those I have come to know and care for to suffer without a partner, or to feel alone in this world.

I also do not wish to feel alone in this world.
