Given everything going on, this might not be seem that important, but hear me out because I've been struggling with this myself for a while.

We need a 'dating' site/app for finding bonds. Either temporary or long term.

Any tech savvy person able to help with this?

I don't know. Probably not, but there might be a magic equivalent. That's also not my forte.

Bondr? Like the spy? Why are there priests involved?

[There may have been dating sites and applications in her day, but not Tinder.]

[trouvaille]

We can't have this many sword-wielding lunatics and no nerds.

Like the bonds? You know, like Grindr.

[partnerinheels]

I prefer firearms and more concealable blades if we're being honest. Or archery.

Never heard of Grindr.

Why isn't there a vowel between the d and r?

[trouvaille]

I prefer none of the above, but necessity is the mother of invention etc etc.

Branding, I assume. It's an app for gay men to see how many men are in their area that want to fuck. I set it up on a friend of mine's phone once after he referred me onto Raya, and I still think he got the better end of that deal.

[partnerinheels]

Fair enough. But are you able to protect yourself, even if you don't prefer weapons?

How did Grindr beat out Pokr? And is Raya the lady on lady version of this? You'd think they'd just put it all on one app.

[trouvaille]

I have a guard dog.

( and teeth she could take someone's throat out with, but she's never actually tried. the alterations she's gone through in aefenglom have neutered most of the ways she'd have defended herself previously, and she'd rather not put what's left to the test. )

Raya's just a referral only app for creatives, it's got monthly fees and whatnot. Somewhere I'm presumably still paying for the damn thing while I languish here in app-less hell.

[partnerinheels]

An actual dog? Or are you referring to a person? Perhaps a turnskin?

[Hackles effectively ruffling.]

What year are you from? If you're from an Earth, that is.

[trouvaille]

I don't know how you feel comfortable referring to turnskins, but I was talking about a dog because that would be a really fucked up way to talk about a person.

It was 2019. Like, way past the 'it's socially acceptable to talk about people like they're property' days.

[partnerinheels]

It would be. And yet, I've heard just that sort of language, both here and back home. Except other types of animals were utilized.

[Don't mind her irritation. She's having bond and therefore temperament issues.]

If I misunderstood, you have my apologies.

2009 here. And while people may not openly talk about it, or use those words anymore, others still work in dangerous environments for well below a living wage. Corporations have just gotten better at hiding such ugliness.

[trouvaille]

It's fucked up that's where your mind went, ahead of "maybe this person who just said she had a dog was talking about a dog". Maybe examine that about yourself.
