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 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.

Don't tell her that, it'll go to her head.
So, everyone is under a curse?
[That is an incredibly detailed fantasy.]
no subject
I don't think it will. She's pretty good at staying grounded. She... ,small>[There's a pause as she wonders if she should tell him this.]you tell her she's nice, she'll smile a lot.
[Lucy pauses then and thinks a few things over.]
Not everyone. So what happened was, my step-grandmother Lady Tremaine cast a curse and took everyone to a land without magic. So, some of us are cursed, and some people are just...people. It's hard to tell who is really who, but I know my mom is Cinderella...and I know my Dad, Henry, is my Dad.
He even wrote this book called 'Once Upon a Time' that has some of our stories in it, but in reality, it's his life that he wrote, but he doesn't remember because of the curse.
Does that make sense?
no subject
Alex and I have our own language that works out well between us. If I ever say anything nice, don't tell her.
How do you know they're your parents?
no subject
But why? That kind of doesn't make any sense.
Because I remember a little bit of our lives before. Reading Henry's stories help sometimes...but I know because there's a feeling I get around both of them. I know they're my parents.
He's turning into Regina with Henry~
A lot of things Alex and I do don't make sense to others.
So, reading a storybook helps you remember being in another world and they are your parents because of a gut feeling? What do Victor and Jim say about this?
[He thinks you need therapy kid.]
Indeed, he is!
[Her attitude starts to deflate a little. Adults can never believe something for what it was.]
Reading the book helped me realize we are part of the curse. And I was trying to convince Henry to believe in it, and set him up with my mom...but things happened...
And Victor and Jim know. I don't hide it, and I even have pictures of Henry and me! Victor knew him from when he was about my age.
At least he's not her step-father (He'd be an awesome step-father)
[Hey, she did call him a non-believer.]
So your mom and Henry aren't together. [It seemed as much, but it's good to have it clear.] Are the pictures before or after the curse?
....stop giving me ideas
That’s....very complicated and confusing. So as long as Alex understands you’re fine with that? Kind of reminds me of Belle and Rump—Rumple.
[ Is Richard in his own version of beauty and the beast? Is he the beast? Or Rumple? ]
Before the curse, but I have a few pictures of my mom after the curse....it helps with missing them.
Never!
I think it's pretty straightforward. I only care about Alex understanding me, and she does so in a way that no one else can.
Who are Belle and Rumple?
Lol!
Not really, if you only have one person who understands you, and that person isn’t always around...it makes for a lonely life.
Oh! They’re my great-grandparents. You may know them as Beauty and the Beast.
Re: Lol!
I've never been worried about being alone.
[It's his most comfortable state actually. After 20 years of it being around others is weird.]
Then why isn't Rumple called 'Beast'?
no subject
[ Asking in a soft tone. She is curious but won’t push the issue. ]
Because he’s had a lot of names over the years, mostly known as The Dark One because he used dark magic.
no subject
It's a very complicated and long story that children shouldn't have to hear.
[Even if he were inclined to share his life story, he wouldn't want a child to have to deal with such things. He'd already had to put Charlie through it.]
So you're saying that I'm, like a demon?
[That's harsh kid.]
no subject
You’d be surprise how much a kid can handle, but if you ever want to talk, I can listen.
[ She shakes her head. ]
No, not a demon. Completely different. But, there’s only one person you’re willing to let in, and don’t care what others think of you. Your motives are your own, but they make sense to one another who supports you.
no subject
In the end, he doesn't. It's all far too personal and more than this poor child should have to know or hear. Even the mention of his daughter would just bring up more questions and more prying into his life. And Lucy doesn't need more strange on top of her delusion about curses and magical worlds and books. It would only serve to further her beliefs in such things.]
My motives don't always make sense to her. Does this, dark one, act similarly?
no subject
I think he did. I mean, I know of him from the storybook, and I haven't figured out who he is while he's cursed. But he had his own motives.
no subject
no subject
But I know, Belle saw the good in him. Saw there was goodness that was there, even when Rumple didn't believe in it himself.
no subject
no subject
When did you stop believing in yourself?
no subject
Not everyone has a hidden good side.
