Firefly Hookup

I know you're out there?!

You are in a stadium, auditorium, or concert venue and you get a bit randy, musing that out there in the thousands there is probably someone just as needy as you. You enter your current state and desires and the FH silently broadcasts your data. Someone, somewhere in sight has their FH tuned similarly, and a signal is returned. Upon acceptance a location beeper commences. Whoopee!

The FH is a visual or IR transmitter and receiver that replaces the button on top of your John Deere ball cap. A huge amount of complex data can be exchanged, if desired.

It is controlled by your smartphone and employs the same tech as bugs: Hey you! You see this? I’m ready!

This example is in the context of a sexual encounter but the FH can be tuned for facilitating coöperation in many situations. Finding team members, organizing transport, assigning tasks to groups.

Plus, you could get laid.

       This sounds like a good way to get robbed. I'd be more wary about this than a Craigslist hookup lol

       I'm currently running a TTRPG loosely set in the Firefly universe. The players are members in a rock band, touring the Cluster Moons in what used to be Mal Reynolds Firefly, which is now a studio/stage/tour support vehicle.   

       The nominal goal is to keep flying and releasing new music selected by the players from the usual sources we get music from. Since there is no FTL communications, music arrives via freighters with trade goods, and is a grey market commodity.   

       Side quests include espionage, money laundering, smuggling, et al. The usual musical group shenanigans apply.   

       Cameo appearances and phone-ins welcomed. Oh, and what [21 Quest] said.

       Sounds like either the Max Rebo band or the Modal Nodes from Star Wars. I dig the concept.

       God, I feel old.   

       Doesn't anybody just meet in person first anymore?   

       I married before the whole on-line shit and am so glad I did you have no idea...   

       One, you ARE old, and two, people still meet in person, when they bump into each other because they're looking at their phones.   

       That said, I'm twenty eight years out of the dating game.

       So, an electronic version of baboon's red butt, or any erection in any species. Cool, cool. Sounds like this could help alleviate the social disapprobation of Cougars; if so, I will award a bun.

       Fear the Firefly Hookup. As well, fear cell phones, smoke signals, and copper wire. It's not what you got, it's how you use it.   

       Is it because I'm old that I think this would be a good idea? Maybe it would have worked in my day but now you are expecting a clop on the head first thing.   

       Someone tell the fireflies.

       I dunno, online dating seems to me to get a bad rap. In my (somewhat embarrassingly extensive) dating history, I've met up with many women through various online platforms, and many more organically through traditional in-person encounters. Bars, laundromats, various workplaces, house parties, mutual friends, etc. Honestly, I haven't seen any real difference in the quality of potential dating partners, but I did meet my current fiancée online so there's that.
21 Quest, May 22 2025
  

       Yeah, I'm with you.
normzone, May 22 2025
  

       Congratulations! Your little one is of the age where she will need to have a woman to confide in. That's so cool dude.   

       I could get laid? Sign me up!

       Not wearing a John Deere ball cap you're not...

       RS, you're just not going to the right NASCAR events.
