`Free, offers in-app purchases` was written next to the app I was just installing. My girlfriend had to grab her credit card for the verification number, since her app was charged with 10 bucks. "Oh we're going to have so much fun," she smiled viciously, leaving me feel a bit uncomfortable about what we were about to do.
"Got it!" she stated as she returned into our living room, tying in the number into her phone. I was meanwhile finishing my installation and was already at the 'Getting started' screen. "Hurry up, I'm already waiting!" I told her jokingly, while her weaker phone took even longer to download the package.
`Waiting for master to connect...` suddenly switched to `Pair with master Ashley? [Yes] [No]` when she finally opened her app as well. "Are you sure about this baby?" I asked her with a bit of unease in my voice. "This was your idea, wasn't it? Of course I'm ready," she replied confidently as she clicked `[Yes]` next to `Pair with slave Thomas?`.
Hesitantly, I also hit `[Yes]` and quickly scrolled through and agreed to the 'Terms and conditions' Ashley had already skipped through. What felt like a jolt of electricity jumped though my body, but I didn't feel much of a different otherwise.
"Was that all, did it work?" I asked a bit puzzled by the lack of effect I was experiencing. `Paired with master Ashley; you can now close this app` read the screen of my phone in big green letters, with no other options apart from the 'In-app store' that surprisingly did not offer anything. I glanced over at Ashley's screen which similarly read `Paired with slave Thomas; ready for your commands`, but provided numerous sub-menus, settings, and what looked like a chat interface.
"Let's see -- here, try to change a setting," she said as she offered me her phone. While the previous jolt was only a bit tickling, grabbing her phone felt like I was touching a high-voltage fence, painfully letting me drop the device onto our carpeted floor. "Hey! My phone might not be as expensive as yours, but it still wasn't cheap!" she demanded, quickly changing her serious look back into a vicious smile.
"Guess it works then," she continued, picking it up and ensuring that nothing was broken. "Good thing I put it into the case, eh?" she added, asking me to give her me phone. Of course, she could easily pick it up, only I would not be able to touch hers anymore. "Very nifty feature; I'll never have to worry you going through my messages again, or trying to change anything in the app of course," she grinned even more intensively.
