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.

did i ever tell you about hannibal bates?

no subject
guy didn't stand a chance honestly
hannibal bates was a meta whose superpower let him shapeshift to copy the appearance of anybody he'd touched
guess how he decided to use this gift?

you're right on the bank robbery and assorted stealing
except he did it while disguised as employees and innocent bank tellers and stuff
messed up a bunch of people's lives
then he graduated to shooting people and that was even less cool
he was framing folks left and right
but we tricked him
no subject
It's so not okay that he did it to poor bank tellers. Go after like the heads of corporations and that sort of thing. That's what I'd do!
How did you trick him?
no subject
right?
think of all the great shit you could do with those powers? like primo superhero stuff.
right wrongs, help people in need, impersonate celebrities and do bad karaoke...
we lured him into an airport for his final showdown with the flash
that way when he shifted between forms during the fight
boom, motherfucker, caught on candid camera
cuz airports have hella surveillance
and that was the hard evidence we needed to get the DA to listen to all those people he framed

no subject
apparently she just BSOD'd for like, a full minute
i mean can you even imagine?
her job used to be so normal and then all of a sudden
her city's the one with all the shapeshifting supervillains in it
[ And that's all of the Hannibal story that Cisco is going to tell. Because the rest... isn't so fun to talk about. ]
no subject
Because damn.
no subject
i think when you live lives as crazy as ours it's pretty much unavoidable.
at least she was one of the good ones
didn't go out of her way to deny what was right in front of her face
my boyfriend eddie's one of the people who got framed
things could've gone real bad for him if she'd decided to be an asshole about it
no subject
[She's not thinking of a specific asshole, but she's definitely thinking of a specific asshole.]
I'm really glad that she didn't then. Because a lot of the time proof like that, if you had just put it on the web would have just been... ignored, I guess.
no subject
and sometimes that's a good thing
there were a few months there where the flash was able to save people without any unwanted attention from media or villains
because people who reported sightings or being saved online weren't believed
which sucks for them but it made things easier at first when we were all still figuring shit out
and by the time the city knew about the flash for sure, we were ready to deal with that.
no subject
no subject
unofficially, kind of, yeah?
or at least a journalist who wrote about him on a blog for a while before everyone knew who he was
and then later kept on writing about him at a newspaper
i guess she's kinda... his pr?
no subject
Well, I guess I know what my job would be in your world! I kind of already do that.
no subject
she was actually a friend of mine, when i was back on earth
i bet you two would get on great
