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.

what's a jedi?

[tarisian_cathar]

[The checkmark is good, yes? It says good things?]

We are protectors, of the innocent, if you want the simple version. We utilize an energy field, produced by all living things, which we call the Force.

There are many ways we do this - from direct action to helping end plagues and famines. Diplomacy, to avert wars. There are many ways, to the Jedi.

[nutbuckets]

wow that all sounds so noble
and the force sounds way too cool
I dunno if I could do that jedi job but it's cool you do

but I could fight

[tarisian_cathar]

When it is at its best, I suppose it is. A requirement for those with power to act, in defence of those who do not.

But we do not stand alone, not at our best. There are many who serve the Republic, who enhance us, make us better, stronger.

I have been greatly blessed by friends from many callings who have stood beside me.

[nutbuckets]

all that and it can go bad?
figures
most stuff can go bad
I mean, most of the time it goes bad

wow, that sounded dark

I'll stand beside you!

[tarisian_cathar]

Wisely said. Dark or not, there is truth in what you say.

And I would be honoured. You seem a most capable ally.

[nutbuckets]

guess so
either it's wise or I'm just used to things going bad
they always seem to
like this one time we stormed an island and pretty much my whole team died
including a real good friend of mine
that was bad

you seem like a capable one too!

[tarisian_cathar]

Such a terrible experience! I am sorry you had to endure that.

And thank you, I hope I continue to be.

[nutbuckets]

oh

[She's really not used to people acknowledging her trauma.]

I lived
it coulda been worse I guess
not much worse though

don't see why you wouldn't

[tarisian_cathar]

All true facts, but still. I am sorry you endured such a thing.

[nutbuckets]

[She's still thrown off by someone saying her experience was bad and that they're sorry she had to deal with it. It's really not something she's used to, being treated like a person instead of a mental deficient in clown makeup.]

well I
okay
thank you

[For some reason she feels all teary.]

[tarisian_cathar]

[This is why, in her universe, the Jedi had been so revered - hers is the way of the Jedi at their best, when empathy, and helping of the individual is considered crucial. Even in her time, it's a minority - but it is rising.]

You are most welcome. If you need to talk more of it, I will always be there to listen. I know how these things can weigh on peoples' minds.

[nutbuckets]

[It's just that she's never really had good people in her life, for as long as she can remember it's always been 100% jackholes.]

you would be? really?

[tarisian_cathar]

Of course. Unless you have others in mind you would prefer to talk to - I understand I am still something of a stranger.

[nutbuckets]

to be honest, everyone here's a stranger
I've talked to strangers about important shit before too
sometimes it's easier with a stranger

[tarisian_cathar]

There is wisdom in what you say, Harley Quinn.

[nutbuckets]

what? really? no one's ever called me WISE before

[tarisian_cathar]

Well, then this is the first time, isn't it?

[nutbuckets]

yeah it sure is! thanks!
