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.

Heba. It appears I've had limited luck encountering Tians so far, and I'd prefer to tether with someone I've had a chance to meet before. As busy as I've been keeping myself, the three months passed sooner than I anticipated.

[Though that might be because of her relatively short lifespan skewing her perception of time, too.]

I do not believe I could tether with someone I had never met face to face. To allow someone into your heart and mind requires trust as well as respect.

As you are aligned with water and of a more reserved nature, I believe we are quite compatible.

[stargazed]

You can only make so much of an assessment about someone you've only spoken to through text in terms of potential incompatibilities, too.

I would agree. Since I'm already quite close to when they say negative effects will start from not having a tether, sooner rather than later would suit me, but as I haven't done it before, I'm unsure of how people tend to approach the actual tethering process.

[Technically she's already started having negative effects, but she'd rather not mention that.]

[noisecomplaint]

That is true. You cannot perceive have one carries oneself through text, even if their grammar and vocabulary is impeccable.

I have tethered twice now. The first time was a very formal affair, and the second less so. If we were to tether I would be willing to do so in a more expedient fashion, for the sake of you health.

[Also because Rokuro is totally broke and doesn't have the money to spend on anything past the symbolic trinkets. Someone went wedding-poor.]

[stargazed]

That would suit me. I might be an extravagant dresser, but I'm used to being rather spartan in other aspects of life. And yes, I would prefer not to find out personally what the experience of not tethering beyond initial symptoms is like.

That said, I am a singer and dancer by trade, so if you want a little bit of extra flair, I can offer that.

[She refused a job offer singing for others' ceremonies because it would feel odd doing it for people she might not necessarily know, but she'll spin it into her own if there's an opportunity.]

[noisecomplaint]

We have much in common.

[Extroverted fashion sense, introverted personality.]

While I have some skill in traditional dance, I have nowhere near the training and expertise of a professional like yourself. I would be honoured to witness you perform.

[stargazed]

Perhaps we could incorporate your dancing into it as well. It would be one way to personalise the ceremony to some degree without having to bring external factors into it.

Though, that said, we should likely discuss when this is being done before anything else.
