hugtopia | [video] An elf's got an idea y'all

[It's his grand debut to the network and he's looking fine, mostly thanks to a glamour that gives his clothes a little more pizazz than the robots can manage. He's sitting at his kitchen counter, chin resting artfully on the back of one hand, inspecting the nails of the other nonchalantly.]

Soooo, say I have a proposal for something that's mmmm-- [He pops his lips a few times as he thinks] --mega fun and a great way to, y'know, fill up the hours that we're stuck in this place. Oh, and it's useful for everyone, natch, can't introduce a product without letting you know that every single one of you can get some sort of use out of it. So say I got this awesome idea, but need a little help in the whole development portion, who can I get to help little ol' me out with that, huh?

Anyone here good at coding or doing nerdy computer shit? I got the idea and know exactly how I want it to go down, but, while I'm a baller wizard and a chef [and a scientist, but who needs to know that part, right?] I'm not exactly saavy with this whole [He gestures at the communicator camera.] thing. The coding thing. Making apps and shit wasn't Taako's deal, ya dig?

So? Anyone out there wanna help me spruce up this place or what?

[He does just that, perching nearby and watching with rapt attention.]

That is so cool.

And useful as hell.

[The last of the beans falls into the bowl and then he pushes it away, dusting his hands off.]

Mmmmkay, that should be all I need for the stew tonight. So? What's doing with you, fella? You here to see what you can do for me?

No doubt.

[Man, if he could do that... Well. He still doesn't know how to cook, so it'd be wasted anyhow. Still cool though.

He straightens up with a grin.]

Yep! I'm here to hear what your big idea is.

Excellent, that's what my big idea is.

[He pushes the bowls away and then picks up his umbrella where he'd had it resting against his leg. Pointing it at the space to his right, an illusion of a communication device pops up.]

So I'm thinkin' we have a lot of people who are just absolute shit at getting out of the house and meeting new people, people who're awkward A F and need some social grease on the wheels, and just some people who are just bored and looking for a good time. Kind of a mish-mash of all of that, ya dig?

[The illusory communicator turns on, showing an application with a profile picture, some basic information about the user, and a red and green button at the bottom.]

So I'm proposing an app that'll help all of us meet our needs, discreetly, without having to run around town hoping to trip over Mr. or Ms. or Non-Gendered Honorific Right. Catch my drift?

[Oooh. Magic. He perks up and leans forward to listen, eyes fixed on the illusion. His head bobs.]

I dig.

[The interface is simple enough. He can't see something like that being too difficult to implement.]

Like a dating app!

[Taako snaps his fingers with a wide grin.]

Exactly like a dating app. Only this'll let people chat without the expectation of the horizontal tango at the end. Unless you're into that, which-- [He laughs.] --I know a lot of people are.

You ever work on something like this before?

[Oh. He was totally right! He grins wide.]

Can't say that I have. But this doesn't look too complicated.

[Nice. Taako's grin widens and he sticks his hand out over the counter at Prompto.]

Then welcome to the team, homie. What kinda compensation are you lookin' for here? Pyra's helping out too and she just wants credit in the app development.

[He slaps his hand into Taako's for a firm handshake.]

Oh, I hadn't thought of compensation. I just thought this would be fun to work on. Something to do, yeah? Credit for the work done is fine.
