The Tether

The Tether App

During the night, everyone's phone or other network device has been updated with a new app - The Tether - 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.

Is that a saying?

[Maybe Bill had mentioned it to him once. She must have but he doesn't remember.]

What do the hyenas have to do with that then?

[nutbuckets]

yeah it just means being a real big badass and winning fights

[She has to explain so much all the time. Not that she minds all that much.]

oh nothing
I just had a pet hyena back home
I miss that guy every day

[twelfthsong]

[Noted. Not the badass bit but the winning fights bit.]

Is keeping a pet hyena common in your world?

[He's met people with weirder pets of course, but it isn't every day that you meet someone with a pet hyena.]

[nutbuckets]

nah
I suspect there's more than one of us who have one but it ain't common

[twelfthsong]

Did your hyena have a name?

[nutbuckets]

Bruce!
I named him after a handsome bachelor in my city
because he was such a handsome hyena
yes he was

[twelfthsong]

Wait - was the bachelor also a hyena? Is that somehow tied to the giant starfish?

[nutbuckets]

NO silly
the bachelor was just a bachelor
I named bruce after him because he was handsome
just like the bachelor

[twelfthsong]

[This really isn't a hard story to follow but for some reason the Doctor's brain is doing the dial up internet sound.]

So there's Bruce the Bachelor and Bruce the Hyena.

What happened between you and Bruce the Bachelor then?

[nutbuckets]

yep

oh nothing happened between me and the bachelor
he's like
famous or something
rich famous guy

I just think he's handsome so I named my hyena after him

[twelfthsong]

I thought you'd have a story with you and Bruce the Bachelor. It sounds like you have plenty based on your about section.

[nutbuckets]

naaah I don't travel in the same circles as that guy, that's for sure
and yeah I got better stories than anything to do with bruce the bachelor
