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.

I try to make the lives of people better, to the best of my ability and judgment. I hope that's good. But magick-with-a-k means next to nothing. I use money and resources for good on a scale that means more to people as a whole, and what I do the I'm sure is good!

[o7]

Hey, good for you. The world would be a better place with just a bit more effort with good intentions, I think.

( Even though sometimes the bad guys think they are doing good according to the bigger picture. Elle is just gonna ignore them right now. )

I'd come across a lot of people in my quest to save the galaxy—many with individual problems completely unrelated to my mission. I stopped to help them in any way I could. The way I see it is, there's no choice. I was in a position that allowed me to make a difference, and I had to use that.

[morganknight]

Oh, there's always technically a choice! Just some of the options are unacceptable. Saying there's no choice doesn't give you the credit you deserve from it.

[o7]

( She doesn't use informal acronyms like LOL, but she's chuckling to herself right now. )

You know... I've never thought of it like that before. ( She totally still won't, who are we kidding )

I didn't get your name?

[morganknight]

[Everything is martial arts, including thinking like that!]

Morgan Knight, at your service. Conveniently Tian-aligned, too.

[o7]

Pleasure to meet you, Morgan Knight.

I say we tether! You're a very interesting person, to put it mildly. What do you say?

( Hey, she likes him. She's not about to let that slip by. )

[morganknight]

I would love that. If nothing else, I think our minds can get along quite well.

Maybe grab a bite to eat sometime and see if we can mesh in person as well as we do in text?

[o7]

( Yay! She's very excited. Moreso than what is normal for her. )

Absolutely. It's odd to say this, but I'm free whenever. Know of any good places to eat? I haven't explored a whole lot in that area, I admit.

[morganknight]

[Morgan is excited, and delighted -- although both are tempered by his 95% certainty that she'd totally missed the inherent flirtation in the question. And if she had, not surprising. Nor a problem.]

As someone who cannot cook and yet requires a lot of calories to sustain, finding those places was a priority for me! Ramen, sushi, or burgers?

[o7]

[ Shepard is quite fluent in flirt! Though, when it comes to tethers, she likes to keep it tame, just in case. She'll be able to read the situation better in person. ]

Good choices! I'm definitely feeling ramen. Very curious to see what they come up with here. I know it's quite a versatile dish.

Just say when and where and I'm there.

[morganknight]

And if I said a little bit of a late lunch, in an hour, down in the Open Markets?

[o7]

See you then!
