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.

How about grabbing a coffee? Or lunch? I'm good with either.
no subject
I don't really drink caf--coffee, I mean. But...lunch is fine. When do you want to have lunch?
[To anyone else this might be a date, but this is Rey and she isn't thinking about things. Just a chat with ...a new friend? Yes, a friend.]
no subject
That's okay. Lunch it is. Are you free tomorrow? I know this is short notice, so if not we can work something out for next week.
[He's not really thinking of it in terms of a date either. Not because he wouldn't be interested in one, but he tends to develop those kinds of feelings after getting to know someone better. Unless he's approached first. So, for now, friends.]
no subject
No, it's fine. I'm not doing much. I can't get into my apartment, so it's either training, working or...back at the Guard.
[Rey is oblivious, so unless it's clearly stated, she won't know. But, she enjoys making new friends. Besides, what are feelings?]
[ooc: Set up for a log? Or go to action?]
no subject
You can't get into your apartment? Why not?
[Saaaame. They can be oblivious together.]
[ooc: action is good!]
no subject
My apartment is by the river, and with that being flooded, I can't exactly get in.
[Oblivious friends can be oblivious together!]
[ooc: Okay, maybe next post we time skip?]
no subject
I'm sorry to hear that.
[The next day finds Steve waiting for Rey in front of a simple cafe. He'd sent her the name and address towards the end of their conversation and they had sent up a time to meet. Steve has arrived just a little bit early to make sure they don't miss each other.]
no subject
It's okay, I'll make do. I'll see you tomorrow.
[Indeed, the next day comes around sooner than expected, but she does receive his text and gets to the cafe in time. She looks completely different from the ball: no make-up, no dress, nothing glamorous. Just her tunic, wraps around her arms, a blue/grey gauze draped over her, and her hair is down with some of it tucked as a pony tail. Almost the beginning of her three bun hair style, but not completely.
Steve was easy to spot. The blonde haired man sitting down at a table. She approaches him, making sure to be in his line of vision so she doesn't startle him.]
Hey.
no subject
Hello, Rey. Please, have a seat. [He gestures to the chair across from him.]
no subject
Hope I didn't keep you waiting.
[She didn't want to be late or too early or anything of that sort.]
Have you been here before?
no subject
Not at all. You're right on time.
[He slides a menu over to her. It's a simple, one page design with the usual assortment of sandwiches, salads, and the like.]
A couple of times. It's not far from the community housing and the food is good. Keeps me coming back.
no subject
Anything you’d recommend?
[ Never hurts to ask, since Rey had tried a few things. Things that are delicious like chocolate, and bacon. And pizza. ]
There are a lot places here to try out, but I try and make my own food. Bought a slow cooker so it just does everything I need it to do...
[And helps with making meals to last a while. Better than ramen. ]
no subject
[Steve doesn't necessarily think in terms of eating healthy. Mostly it's a job in and of itself to eat enough to keep up with his metabolism. But he tries not to stuff himself in front of people.]
I would probably do the same if I wasn't so terrible in the kitchen. I have to rely on my friend Sam for any home cooked meals I eat.
no subject
There’s a soft chuckle from her, leaning back into her seat a little. ]
That’s why I have the slow cooker. I only know some of the basics...otherwise it was ramen and crackers. Not the best, but, it was something I was used to. Soup and brad, sort of.
[ Whait a moment...]
Sam? The one who can talk to birds? That Sam?
no subject
[After giving the menu a cursory glance over, he sets it aside.]
But tell me more about the slow cooker. What kind of things do you make? Maybe you can teach me.
[He blinks, surprised by the question.]
Sam Wilson. I...don't know anything about talking to birds. But sometimes I think he wishes he was one. We call him 'Falcon' back home.
no subject
[That was assuming you got enough portions to keep hunger at bay. No need to go into that. As for lunch though, she saw there was a club sandwich and it had one of her favorite items: bacon.]
I made a pot roast once. It made the meat incredibly tender. I was going to try for a stew next time. A friend gave me a recipe book, so I've been following that. If you want to see how it works, I could show you, once I'm back in my apartment.
[And also greatly assuming things were fine and not ruined by the flood.]
Yes, I think his surname is Wilson. I've spoken to him a handful of times.
[Like when Poe turned himself into a bird...or when Sam invited people out for drinks.
The waitress came by asking if they were ready to order, Rey asked for water, coffee and a club sandwich. Once the orders were placed, she turned her attention back to Steve.]
How many people from your world are here?
no subject
[The mentality of someone who lived through a Great Depression. He knows quite a bit about having to go without, and how important it is to hang onto what you do have.
Luckily they don't have to worry about going hungry here.]
That sounds like a plan. You make it sound like it's easy to use, and I'm not exactly looking for anything too fancy. Pot roast and stew sounds good enough to me.
[He'll probably still eat out a lot anyways, due to having a general dislike of staying cooped up in his apartment.]
I don't think there's any other Sam Wilson here, so he's probably the one.
[When the waitress stops at their table he orders a coffee and a bacon cheeseburger. She's not the only one who loves bacon.]
Hmm...let's see. You already know Tony and Sam. There's also Thor and Val. My best friend Bucky is also here. [And Pierce. But like hell he's going to mention him.] They're the only ones I know about.
no subject
Yes, exactly that. You learn to live with what you have, and sometimes even less than that. It's not like that now, but it sticks with you....you know?
[Like when she went to her first party with Poe and Finn. How she eyed the food Eddie had and thought it was too much, that it could go to waste. It was something she couldn't turn off when it kept her alive for so long.
There was a shrug of her shoulders.]
It also helps to read the instruction booklet, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. We can make something easy and I'll show you the recipes I have.
[Sitting still didn't come easy to either of them, did it? Better to keep busy and be active rather than stay still and do nothing.
The waitress took both of their orders and Rey was secretly pleased that some one else liked bacon too. Who didn't like it?! It was amazing.]
Thor? [The name sounded familiar, and sure enough she recalled a tall man with blonde hair who act the hot spun sugar and burned his mouth.] Yes, I know of him. Saw him eat snow once--it was a bit funny. [Because, well, it was. He didn't wait long enough for the candy to cool and ended up eating snow.]
My friends are here too--Poe and Finn. They're with the guard--and there's also a droid named BB-8. He's orange and white, you can't miss him I wasn't expecting any of them to come here.
no subject
[And being in the war had only emphasized everything he learned growing up. How to ration out food. How to made do with little in times were you and your troop were pinned down and couldn't get more supplies sent out.]
Everything back home is so different now from what it was when I was a kid. Growing up having nothing was something everyone had common. Now, people have a whole lot, way more then they need.
[But she probably doesn't want to hear the rest of "back in my day" complaints.]
Instruction booklet, right. That probably would be a big help. [He grins.] I'm hands-on and sometimes I can convince myself I know better. Usually I'm wrong.
He ate snow? [His face lights up in amusement and he tries not to laugh. He definitely has some new fodder to tease his friend with later.]
Poe and Finn. I'll have to keep an eye for them. Even after months I haven't managed to meet everyone on the guard yet. It seems to just keep growing. I think I've seen the droid around a few times though. [He tends to catch the eye.]
no subject
Mine was the same. No one had anything and you had to work hard for what little you received.
[Which made Rey wonder what Steve's like was like back on his planet--his world. Jakku was different than most planets considering its lack of natural life. Nothing but sand--a wasteland. However, there were times where some plants found a way to take root, reminding her that beauty could be found anywhere.]
I'm the same. I have to actually do something before it sinks in, though somethings...kind of come naturally. Sadly, cooking isn't one of them. [Like learning how to fight with a lightsaber, that came from listening to the Force.] When did you want to try your hand at it? [She could move things around--it wasn't like she had a lot of obligations outside of Cisco and the Guard.]
Yes...yes he did.. [Rey was trying not to laugh, but managed to let out a chuckle or two....or three times.] There was a festival or something going on while it was snowing, and someone was making these sugary treats. Thor took a bite of one after the sugar was thoroughly melted, and burned his tongue.
At least it's growing and no one has backed out of it. Better to have so many people than to be short staffed. [Especially if something big were to happen.
Her face lights up a little.]
He's very hard to miss. I think Tony is really impressed with him.
no subject
[He's endured multiple attempts of experimenting in the kitchen. One incident that will forever have Sam lurking over his shoulder every time he attempts to set foot inside of a kitchen. Especially Sam's kitchen.]
Whenever you have some free time on your hands. I've gone this long without, it's not like there's any rush.
[Steve doesn't bother restraining his laughter. He'll have to remember this story to pass onto the others. All in good fun, of course. The others, Thor included, all have plenty of embarrassing stories about him and vice versa.] He can be a little over zealous when it comes to sweets. [Or being patient in general.]
True. I guess I'm just used to working in smaller units these days. Ones where everyone knows everyone.
[He smiles.] I'm sure Tony would be. Have you ever met Dum-E?
no subject
There was a shrug of her shoulders.]
My schedule is flexible enough to change things around. Any free time I have...I try and fill. Running, or training....or reading. Anything. [Because she doesn't like to sit still. The only exception would be meditation.]
Can he? I wouldn't have guessed. [Sarcasm and spoken with a smile on her face.] Now I'm trying to picture him left alone in a candy shop. If he would buy the entire place out. [Or attempt to eat all of it in one go.]
I can't say I've done that--worked in a smaller unit. I mean.. [She pauses for a moment, thinking back when for a handful of hours it was just her and BB-8, then Finn got in the picture....then it was Han and Chewie...] I'm used to working on my own, but I've gotten used to being around others who are working towards the same goal. [To protect. To help and defend. Not solely in it for themselves.
And her smile grows a little more.]
Yes, I have. When I first got here, Tony and I spoke on the network...and I got to meet him, his suit, and Dum-E. It's almost like a droid, but not quite--although it is adorable.
[Yes, she likes droids and robots and technology. It's fun to her.]
no subject
[Exploration trips tend to be where he feels he's able to best use all his skills.]
He could probably eat the entire place out if he wanted to. [Thor's appetite is one to rival Steve's own.]
Smaller units have their benefits. But they're also more...personal. [At least that's been his experience, first with the Howling Commandos and then with the Avengers.]
He's a bit of a scatterbrain, but he does try his best. [Dum-E he means.]
