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

» Age: your character's age
» Seeking: friendship/romantic/anything

Yeah, that's what I think, too.

It's good to have some control over what happens to you. Even if it's just figuring out how to react to something that might not happen.

True, but can one truly be prepared for something if it's never before transpired? Can we really know how we might react in any given situation?

I never did study philosophy. Everything wound up leaning into the soldiering.

I'd like to think it's possible, though. Even if no one knows what they'll do until they get there, I think you can still try to plan for what might not happen.

True, that sort of mentality is the basis of thought for all pioneers in their fields, as well. One can never assume the outcome will be as planned, after all.

Yeah. Following a plan is usually when things start to fall apart on me.

Have you been in the city long?

On us all.

I have. A year, this month.

Pretty much.

I'm on month 9. Goes by a lot faster than I thought it would. Doesn't feel like it's been close to that long.

Disturbingly so, you're right.

Are you...hoping to move to the capital world when your Quarantine is finished, or will you return home?

I have to get home. Before the Quarantine is done, if I can. Things weren't all that great when I wound up here. Or the last time I got to... check in, I guess.

[ But that does leave him with a brief pause for thought. ]

Might be nice to come back again someday. After.

You are aware, of course, when the portal has been configured properly, it will return you to the precise moment from whence you came, yes?

Yeah. Doesn't exactly make the waiting easier. Kind of gives you all the time you need to think about everything that can go wrong once you're back.

You, my friend, need to practice the subtle art of escapism.

First time I've ever heard THAT.

Anyone here not trying to tear down the walls and work out precisely how to manipulate the pulses of the portal which brought us here is doing the same, Finn. Let no one tell you otherwise. I don't fault them, I'm just as guilty, but simply remaining here, with no protest, is an escape in itself. And why not? Here, we have relative peace, at least in contrast to the turmoil from which many of us were pulled, or we were at the brink of death, some of us. If and when our benefactors work out sending us home, it will be to the precise moment from which we departed. Staying here, we miss nothing. It's downright seductive in its allure, isn't it?

[ There's a relatively lengthy pause while he reads and digests that. It sort of reminds him of DJ, only if DJ were a probably-decent person instead of a huge bastard. ]

I think I know what you're getting at. Sure.

There was a while where I probably would have just stayed here no questions asked. Especially if they could ask before bringing anyone here. Right now I know I'm going back as soon as they can get me there but

There are good things here. It's nice to get to try out the normal life thing while I can. Pretty alluring.

Indeed. Just prior to my own transport, I was appointed to a position that will most likely result in an early grave. I'll see to filling it as soon as I'm home, of course, but until then...? Why waste my time here lamenting something beyond my control?

I'll give it to you. When you're right, you're right.

I'm not always good at relaxing into thinking like that. Feels like I should always be doing something important.

One never really can hear that enough.

That speaks to your work ethic, but there is nothing world-ending looming on the horizon, here. Don't over-exert yourself. I know, of course, it is easier to hear than to practice. Perhaps pick up a hobby. How are you at chess?

I don't think I'm half-bad at chess. For someone who's only been playing for a few months. Used to get good scores in tactics.

You interested in a game?

I always fancy a game of chess. I'd rather like that.

Sounds like a plan, Dorian. Maybe we can set up somewhere with a view. Really aim for the escapism.

Such an endeavor is not a thing to be taken lightly, Finn. Perhaps one of the observation decks in the communal housing?

Sure thing. It's been a while since I've been back there. Kind of miss the view.

It really does have quite a view, doesn't it?

Yeah. The apartment I wound up in isn't bad, but it's not the same.

Anything I can bring with me?
