they show you how to swim

WHO: All Dualizens, old and new
WHAT: Your regularly scheduled NAPs event for the month
WHERE: Dualis Oasis
WHEN: Nov. 7-10
WARNINGS: Please use these if applicable!


Look at all of these bright, shining new faces! There’s even a few less bright, less shining faces - maybe even a few folks without faces - but hey, this city welcomes all types. Chances are, if you’ve just arrived, you're seeing some pretty crazy things, unless you're used to an eye-blinding amount of neon, robots, weird-ass technology, magic, and an omnipresent police force...and hey, if you are, congrats, you're gonna settle in juuuuust fine. But for the rest of you, the Head knows this has gotta be pretty overwhelming, right?

Well, since your quaint individual processing units are probably having a hard time, why not link up with another one? By which the Head means...

Hello, new citizens of Dualis,
and welcome to your monthly Network Adjacency Protocol~!


NAPs are a monthly community networking event similar to the Earth concept of speed dating! Two citizens (new arrivals and old hands alike) are placed at a table together with a handy cue card of queries to help break the proverbial ice. Ask queries and receive results, or ignore the card and yeet yourself straight into a brand new friendship! But don't be too shy, you've only got ten minutes together, and if you just sit in silence for the whole ten, the Network Admins are likely to come supervise and try to repair the uplink through a mild shock to the ol' central nervous system. You might find yourself saying all sorts of unintended facts about yourself if that happens...probably better to just make friends, right? Who doesn’t like friends?!

The weather outside may be taking a turn toward chilly, but you can still get your swim on during this month’s NAPs, held at the Dualis Oasis, an indoor temperature-controlled aquatic amusement park with giant slides, swimming pools, and lazy winding float rivers. Appropriate swimming gear is required for entry to this part of the park, but there are a number of shops just outside that will gladly sell you swimwear and accessories.

For those of you who wish to avoid a humid environment or just hate fun, a dehumidified lounge and restaurant offer quieter, dryer spaces for chatting and snacking. The actual speed-friending itself is in progress here, but you’re welcome to stick around and continue conversations with your new friends.

So c’mon, what are you waiting for? Just dive right in for fun and friendship - the water’s fine, fine, fine, just like everything else in this fair city. But hey, remember to play safe. No running!

Felicity started and the voice next to her, having gotten lost in her own thoughts and not having seen Zack approach.

"Oh, yeah, I mean yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?" Felicity asked. "Felicity. Felicity Smoak. Is that for me?"

"Yeah, it is," Zack agrees, not moving to take a seat of course. That would be rude. But he definitely wanted to make sure she was okay. Could they be okay? They should be okay. Right?

"I just... you seem a bit out of it. And the whole twitching your hair thing? Sorta a nervous habit I think? People do that when they're nervous."

Felicity smiled, nodding her head and gesturing for Zack to take a seat, while reaching for the water gratefully. She looked at her hair, which was pulled over her shoulder. "I didn't even realize," She said softly, sipping the water.

"Who are you?" She asked with a smile. She nodded her head. "This is just the second city I have ended up in unintentionally. How about you?"

"Most people don't. That's why I'm good at card games."

Super lie. He grins WAY too much when he has a good hand. He's far too expressive.

But this is the second time this has happened to her? Really interesting. Zack's heard about some people who did this before, and he's very intrigued.

"My first time. And I'm Zack."
