swipes: a friendr meme
swipes: a friendr memeAny 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 base code is by photosynthesis.
● Post up a top-level for your character with their Friendr profile and then go around and swipe left or right on everyone else's!
● This meme is for characters already accepted into the game to window shop other characters' Friendrs while they're all gathered conveniently into one place.
● This meme is GAME CANON, so any threads played out in this meme can be carried through into the actual canon of the game.
● Since this meme is game canon, open, and only for characters in the game, threads here can be used for either Activity Points or the monthly Activity Check.

Good to know..but maybe someone like them will show up here? Stranger things have happened.
It could be your mentor is...hiding something, or it's complicated for them. Hence the mysterious nature. Allows them to be detached and almost forces you to stay away.
no subject
And Simon is hiding everything. If you looked up mysterious, there'd probably be a picture of him in the dictionary.
[Basically all the people in Alex's life other than Nic were mysteries. It's annoying, and it makes her use enigmatic way too much in her descriptions.]

He doesn't handle things outside of his purview all that well.

Not letting someone punch him would become a full time job.

It should be, honestly. Though maybe if I let them hit him, I could get paid for offering my testimony in the lawsuit.
no subject
How long have you been working with Richard?
no subject
About three years, I think? It depends on if you count the times that he's just kind of disappeared. He can be an ass that way.
no subject
He disappeared? As in, didn't say anything and just...left?
no subject
Yeah. Well, the first time he said "goodbye Alex." And then the second time he just left. But he had reasons. Decent ones too. But it still sucked.
no subject
If he left so many times, why do you continue to work with him?
no subject
He... It's really really complicated. He's complicated.
no subject
Do you owe him a debt of some sort? Is that why?
no subject
[Alex has nightmares about a lot of things, but reading that one meundies ad will definitely play into them for a long time to come.
As for the rest... Alex sighs, because complicated with a captial C.]]
Well, not really no. I mean, I did kind of blow up his life and uncover a lot of his secrets and expose the fact that his dead wife wasn't actually dead and...
Yeah, I just realized how completely insane I sound. But I care for him and I worry about him, and we have a...
[A beat before Alex decides on.]
Connection. We're at the center of this thing together.
no subject
[Wouldn't that be too easy of a way to make a living? Say things into a microphone for others to hear. No actual work involved--at least that's what she thinks. There aren't reporters on Jakku. She hasn't a clue what a reporter actually does.]
A connection doesn't mean anything if he left you. If he gave you a choice and still left.
[That may have hit too close to home for Rey, but she was trying to understand. Trying to listen and not solve a problem (it seemed like a problem to her if this 'Richard' left Alex, not trustworthy at all). Rey takes a moment to reread Alex's words on her screen and to get a better handle on her emotions.]
It's not that you sound insane, Alex, but if you have a friend leave you..the connection isn't worth anything. Having that connection and having them still make that choice to leave....it only hurts more.
no subject
[But the rest. The rest takes a moment to reply to it.]
Maybe. But. I can't just chose to turn my feelings off and stop loving him because he's an inconsiderate asshole who has no idea how to really be a human being sometimes.
[And Alex doesn't even notice what she said.]
no subject
...So Rey is biased on this, but she is trying to help a friend as best as she possibly can.]
You need to. You need to place distance between yourself and him--besides the physicality of it. He's done this to you multiple times.
He will keep doing it. Again, and again. Regardless if he returns those feelings or not.
If you gave him the opportunity to change, and he didn't take it--then it isn't meant to be, regardless of how many times you think it might be the case, it's not.
You deserve better.
no subject
He has reasons for being the way he is. I mean there's this entire conspiracy around him possibly causing the end of the world, his wife was actual an agent who was sent to seduce him and marry him. She fell for him and then faked her death to protect him but...
He just kind of fell into this darkness to protect himself, and I think he runs when things just get too real. Like distance is going to help. But I've been here for months, and clearly it's still not helped me.
Richard is getting better though. Since he came back last time. He asked me to trust him, and I do. We're in this thing together, for better or for worse, and if I decide just to leave him out in the cold, there's more than just our feelings at stake, Rey. Well. Probably.
no subject
What if he doesn't come back? What if you go back, and he's not there--he's run away and this time he won't come back.
You're not leaving him out in the cold if he's the one who pulled away first--if he made the decision to run over being with you.
no subject
[Alex may have a rather long list.]
But I can't just let him go, Rey. I care about him too much for that.
no subject
Do you care more about him than your own well being?
no subject
[And combined, yeah, she does care about them more than her well being. It's the reason she hasn't slept in two years.]
no subject
[Okay, that was way more harsh than Rey intended...]
The priorities in your life should be: saving the world with or without Richard, and caring about yourself--putting your own happiness first for once. Otherwise...you may end up regretting it.
