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.

[While normally shy around new people, talking about Inkopolis is very much a thing that she enjoys doing. It's a good way to break the ice!]

It's the city of the Inklings! There are lots of tall buildings and plazas and places to see! There are fashion shops, shoe shops, guns and ammo, and food, too! That is also where the arena is where we can play turf war! And splatfests! Those are so much fun!!

Inkopolis has everything and is super great and amazing!!

It is good to hear someone enjoy their home so much. But what are these 'splatfests'?

[consider8]

They're splatfests!! They're grand events where people pick teams to decide which choice is the best! Like cats or dogs! Or pirates and ninjas! Or hover boards or jet packs!! And then after you pick teams you fight it against the opponent until only one side is victorious!

It is a grand contest of skill and popularity!!

[She may be failing at describing what they are, but she's certainly enthusiastic??]

[tarisian_cathar]

[She seems to understand even less after that than before, true.]

I see, thank you for the explanation.

[consider8]

They're lots of fun!

Do you think that maybe we could see if the Witch's would like to play it?

[It will only be in hindsight will she realize that without ink, it would be very hard for people to play splatfests. But now she's riding high on the memories of sweet, sweet competition.

[tarisian_cathar]

Possibly? Certainly worth asking, I suppose.

[consider8]

Wahmie!!

It'll be so much fun! I'll try to see if it can be done right away!!

I wish you fortune in bringing your culture here, I know it must be important to you.
