swipes: a friendr meme

Any new arrival to the city has seen the ad for a free app popping up on their devices, and anyone who's been around for a while probably has a profile and has used it a bit. It's almost universal in the city - Friendr, a friend-finder and/or dating app. If characters choose to install it, they will fill out a short bio and parameters for what they're looking for, upload a snap of themselves, and then proceed to browse for matches. This is a typical swipe-left-or-right type app. The default color scheme can be seen below, but the Friendr app has a wide variety of themes, so feel free to customize with colors and patterns as you see fit, but do not remove the credit line out of respect for the creator of the code.

I have 6 cats.

[buildingcastles]

Oh, no. You mean that?

You're magic police. How many people are in your department?

[alchemyfreak]

Maybe not. Losing anyone is hard but you learn to adapt, accept the nature of the place and hope they come back. Even if they don't remember you, you get a chance to rebuild that friendship again.

[buildingcastles]

That's... damn.

[Flying through space is definitely something restricted to movies, and he's danced at the edge of other worlds. Seeing stars up close shouldn't be possible. Christian is both jealous and in awe.]

Are you going out on another mission?

[thestarling]

Magic police unit, more like, but yeah. There are two of us. Three, if you count the station manager.

[winscenario]

[ Yeah, it's pretty awesome, even to Jim and he's used to it by now. Well, that's not so accurate to say. He doesn't think he'll ever be truly used to all the amazing things he can find out there. ]

I am out on a mission right now, actually. Near the Abandoned City. You're keeping me distracted while I can't fall asleep.

[buildingcastles]

Oh, so it really is more unofficially official. Like the basement department.

I see the X-Files comparison now. Are you Mulder or Scully?

[thestarling]

Not quite the basement, we have our own nick. But staffing is a bit hard when most people don't know magic exists.

Neither, thankfully. Though I did work with a red-haired FBI agent once.

[buildingcastles]

[The more he talks to Peter, the more the explanation becomes plausible.]

Where did you say you were based?

[thestarling]

London. England.

[Well, there are people talking about other worlds running around, it might not hurt to specify.]

[buildingcastles]

For half a second I thought you were going to tell me you were going out on your spaceship and would be back after you checked out a new planet.

Lots of things to see out there, I hear. I've been meaning to go out too, but I haven't taken the chance yet. Being eaten by actual animals sounds awful.

[buildingcastles]

Have you ever

What kind of things do you normally see? Just people using magic illegally? Murdering witch doctor kind of things?

[winscenario]

Well I do have a shuttle but it can't take me far enough to actually reach a planet out there. Sorry to disappoint you.

I've been out here a number of times so far, and I haven't gotten eaten yet. Just had one biting me once. Still here and in one piece, though.

[thestarling]

The ethically challenged practitioner is a pretty big deal, considering he managed to dynamite a whole apartment complex.

But otherwise...promise you won't try to section me, but everything. Ghosts, spirits, vampires. Societies living underground. The Rivers. There's more, I'm sure.

[buildingcastles]

But dynamite seems like something the police would be concerned about with or without magic. Part of the training, right?

[Look, he doesn't know how police work.]

Demons?

[thestarling]

He was dynamiting the building for magic-related reasons. It's complicated.

No demons, so far as I or my boss are aware. And he'd know better than me.

[buildingcastles]

But it takes you to space?

[He's already impressed by all of this.]

Yeah, but I'm not a professional adventurer. Going into human jungles is different.

[winscenario]

Yeah, it takes me to space. You can tag along sometime, if you ever feel like it.

We get plenty of people curious about what it's like, beyond the wall. I'm used to going out there with people who have little to no experience. It's even easier with the shuttle too.

[spellslots]

I'd take evil or set in their ways if I had a choice, at least that's interesting

And I mean, let's be real, you get sociopaths everywhere, with or without magic

[angelic_archer]

He's been acting a little odd lately. Magnus might try kitten spells to get him to calm down.

It's been almost a year since the breakup for me. If you count the time we spent in Idaho.

I remember it every day. That way I make sure not to make the same mistakes.

She had to do something special for my eighteenth birthday and my first one dating someone.

[buildingcastles]

It probably wouldn't mean much to you if I said I understand, but I understand. Sometimes people do things for magical reasons and other people pay for it.

So all the stories of creatures from legend; the beast of Gevaudan, flying devils, those things don't exist?

[thestarling]

Well yeah, but I mean literally. The structure was built to gather magic, I gather he was trying to collect it.

Don't think so. There's fae and things but no actual dragons or anything.

[bythehand]

That I am one? It asked for a bio.

[outofthinair]

[ There is a considerably noticeable and awkward pause before her reply is sent. ]

Ida-what-now?

And you are so not 18. I'm 18. How are you 18?! You're not 18! You're older than Izzy and Izzy is not like... 13.

I am so confused right now. And he's probably been acting weird because of our chat on the night of the Glow Ball. But he wanted it, so.

[buildingcastles]

Now that's creative. Sounds like something someone I knew.

Dragons aren't demons. But they actually have those here.
