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.

[It's okay, she likes kids. She does now anyway, after hanging out with Cassandra.]

thanks!
I like your outfit too
what's an inkling?

[consider8]

[Oh right, this thing had names attached and that could be traced to the picture, huh.]

[That was... alarming. Still, a penny ventured is a penny earned or... something.]

They're the opposite of Octarians. I'm an Octarian. So they're the ones that are like me but not me.

[nutbuckets]

makes sense

[Not at all, but who is she to judge?]

soooooo



what's an octarian?
some kinda alien?

[consider8]

[Oh the look that she's giving the screen, Harley. THE LOOK.]

We are the descendants of the Earth's octopi. And one of the two great races on my planet.

Your observation also makes no sense, too, as most of us are alien to each other.

Since even humans can come from different worlds.

[nutbuckets]

highly

evolved

octopi

that is badass

[consider8]

[EXCUSE YOU.]

I am sorry, but being a descendant of octopus is neither bad nor is it ass.

You are being very rude right now.

No matter how fresh your outfit looks, you should mind what you say.

Other Octarians would take grave offense.

[Like she is, right now!!]

[nutbuckets]

no it's not bad or ass!
it's badass!
which is something totally different and GOOD
it means awesome and in a kinda ass-kicking way

[consider8]

[Oh... it's her misunderstanding. Her face flushes magenta. Still, this does raise an interesting philosophical question...]

Why would I want to kick ass?

That seems very unhygienic.

[nutbuckets]

[No harm done, really. Harley makes dumb misunderstandings all the time.]

oh it's just a slang term for fighting and WINNING

[consider8]

Oh. Slang.

[There's a hesitation, again.]

I have trouble with that. I have difficulty learning a second language, and there are still phrases that are hard for me to understand.

So you want to be a badass?

[nutbuckets]

what's your first language? octarian?

I already AM a badass
are you?

[consider8]

Yes

[And boy was it hard to learn the second!]

Maybe?

[She thinks she is, but is too modest to say so.]

[nutbuckets]

holy shit, I guessed that right?!

you probably are
everyone here seems to be

[consider8]

If you say so, then maybe it is true.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thank you for correcting me.

[nutbuckets]

probably true

oh no problem
sorry for offending you
