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.

	Friendr

Code to post your character's bio is in the textbox below.

You're thinking of ghosts?

[thestarling]

No, ghosts are different. And I'm not saying I'd get rid of magic or anything, but I've seen what it's done and I don't think there's anything that will stop it for long.

[buildingcastles]

Then maybe they are just different. Maybe you're right and it won't be stopped. I can't say.

[thestarling]

I hope you don't have to deal with him, anyway.

[buildingcastles]

Him? You mean the bad wizard?

[thestarling]

Mr Punch. The spirit. The wizard is his own problem.

[buildingcastles]

If I meet him, should I say anything in particular?

[thestarling]

Punch? Nothing. Just hope you haven't gotten his attention.

[buildingcastles]

Well, maybe our spirits aren't so different, then.

[thestarling]

I'm sorry to hear it.

[buildingcastles]

[Oh. That's actually sad.]

They aren't all bad, you know.

[thestarling]

I'll take your word for it.

[buildingcastles]

I'm sorry.

[thestarling]

Don't be. Different experiences.

[buildingcastles]

They always are.

Normally people that talk the way you do are Hunters.

[thestarling]

What are Hunters?

[buildingcastles]

People that don't like spirits. They hunt down and kill them; make sure they're not threats to humans. I guess some people consider it their profession.

[thestarling]

I take it you don't approve.

[buildingcastles]

Traumatized people coping by chasing down the monster under the bed with actual weapons? That does worry be a little bit sometimes. It depends on the Hunter.

[thestarling]

I can see how that could get troublesome quickly.

[buildingcastles]

People see something dangerous that they don't know what to do with and they come up with some desperate solutions. A lot of the time they know just enough.

I don't know how police would find out about spirits or what to do about them, but I'm sure not everyone on the force would respond the same way even if they knew they were facing something magical. What's the training for something like that?

[thestarling]

There isn't, really. SOP is that if an officer comes across something they think is Falcon-related, they call us.

[buildingcastles]

I see. So you're not really that far off from Mulder. You have a badge, but I bet some of your coworkers think you're messing around.

We don't have anything like that as far as I know. At least, I've never run into anyone officially sent to look into weird cases. There are some psychics who have helped the police in cases, but they don't get taken that seriously.

[thestarling]

The ones who've worked with us before know. They may not like it, but they'll still listen to what we tell them.

[buildingcastles]

That's... strange. I haven't heard of normal people working with anyone that deals in magic when they don't absolutely have to. And they wouldn't make it official.
