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!

a. water time fun

Aqua has honestly not been to many of these events. For one reason or another, she just hasn't managed to make it out. This month, she decides to turn that around. After all, she remembers what it was like for her to be new in this world and in the Iteration world. While life here hasn't been as cold and wet as an introduction on that other world had been, it is still just as confusing. Arrivals there were at random times, as well, and without any clear place here to keep watch, these events are the best ways to help the newcomers that find their way around.

So with that in mind, Aqua makes her way up to the right location... just to be told that her normal outfit isn't appropriate for her to wear. She finally turns up in something more appropriate, although she doesn't feel more comfortable in it.

a-1. Still, it's a water event and given that her name is Aqua, she's almost obligated to get into the water. Floating along on one of the float rivers seems to be a relaxing choice, even though she is very, very bad at this relaxing thing. She looks a bit restless if anyone else comes floating by her, though she manages a smile and, "Hello."

a-2. Once she's gotten more than enough of floating along, she decides to try some of the giant slides. This is more her speed. Literally and figuratively. She takes her turn on each one, waiting patiently in line. If anyone makes eye contact with her or looks like they might be willing to converse, she asks, "Have you been on this one yet?" Once she settles in at the top, she pushes herself through them each time before she can think better of it, laughing and shrieking even as she zooms down to the bottom, exiting the slides with a giant splash of water.

"That was fun!" she says as she makes her way out of the pool, dragging her blue hair back away from her eyes. Having fun like this is really not what she's used to anymore and it shows.

b. lounge

Later, when she wants to take a break, she makes her way back inside to the lounge to see what is happening in here. She does get roped into the speed-friending part and blinks a little in surprise. "Oh, hi. My name is Aqua." This may or may not be her default response to everyone by the end of it all, including people she already knows. Mostly because she says it before she realizes who she's talking to.

c. wildcard her! [ none of this catch your eye? wildcard her or hit me up through pm or

sixflights. i will also match your format, prose or brackets. ]

A. Water Fun!

Once upon a time parties were Arkady's thing. Maybe she'd been a little too into parties back then. But then the government had come and everything had changed. She had changed. And then she'd been brought here and now everything was changing again. She liked going to the NAPs because she liked seeing the other people, especially the new ones that showed up. This particular one also had the added benefit of including something Arkady happened to love: water. She missed the water cart from home. Not that she would admit it, but she missed quite a lot from home. So, a distraction seemed...pleasant.

Her interest, and excitement, only grew once she saw the Dualis Oasis. Then the excitment quadrupled once she found a bathing suit that had dangling tassels on it. Nothing was better than things that dangle! Needless to say Arkady was excited to do everything! Especially the slide. The slide was definitely the most fun she had in a very long time. She clapped her hands as she came out the end of the slide and then jumped up.

"Everyone should do that at least once! Or twice! Or fifty times! Again!" She grinned at the nearest person. "Have you tried?"

In between teleporting back up to have another go with the slides she can be found floating on a bright yellow innertube. Occasionally she may bump into someone along the way.

"Oopps! It has a mind of it's own! Are you having fun?"

B. Lounge

After she's gotten her fill of fun in the water Arkady can be found relaxing in the lounge. There's a huge bowl of ice cream with strawberries on it in front of her that she's happily devouring. If someone happens to sit across from her for a speed friending round she will look up and offer a spoon.

"Want some?" She's more than willing to share. It's pretty amazing after all. "I'm Arkady by the way."

Water Shenanigans

South is on the hunt. She could be a regular person, just enjoying the water in her swimwear and whatnot. But no. She's looking for anyone who seems distracted and otherwise unsuspecting, that's close enough to the water for her to throw in. So far, people are either already wet so pushing them in wouldn't matter much, close enough to the water but seemingly on guard, or not near enough to the water to easily knock in.

She's just about ready to give up on being a dick and find another drink, when she spots someone. They look pretty well dry, not paying attention to her slipping up inch by inch until she's close, and they're right next to the water. Perfect. She doesn't hesitate, as soon as she's within striking distance, she catches a good grip of them and hauls them towards the looming water while laughing, thoroughly amused.

Lounge

South is somewhat more dressed when not in the water, her bikini still slightly damp but mildly covered with a pair of matching board shorts. Other than that, all she's bothered putting on is a pair of flip flops. They should just consider themselves lucky she's wearing this much!

She can be found slouching in a chair at one of the tables, god knows what number drink she's on but it's already half way down and she's still sipping away on it. She's not paying much attention to anyone, some have stopped to do this chit-chat bullshit and she gave them some attention, but mostly she's just in her own little world at the moment. Until another person plops down across from her and she finally fixes her gaze on them, finishing her drink before she gives a nod of acknowledgement.

"You gonna ask questions from their cue cards, or you gonna wing it?"

a. water water everywhere~

She didn't have a lot of experience with water. Naminé knew a lot about it but a great deal of her experience was through the memories of another. The first time she'd seen the beach was just before arriving to the city. She'd been bent over a shell that Xion had found in the sand. She remembered the way the water glistened in the setting sun and the cool touch of the waves as they curled against her ankles.

This wasn't anything like that.

Inside was loud, voices echoing off of the enclosed space, and the air was thick with a warm humidity that contrasted the chilly bite of cold outside.

Naminé wore a white bathing suit with golden accents. It was a little more revealing than she was used too but compared to others it was more conservative. This was her first time in a pool and it was all a little overwhelming. She focused on breathing, keeping the rhythm of her breath's steady in an attempt to stay calm. The embarrassment didn't help nor did the pink tint to her cheeks but Naminé was trying her best.

Life was all about new experiences, right?

i. entering the water

Naminé had always found something enchanting by it and she'd always wanted to see the ocean but this wasn't the ocean.

The concept of water was easy. Water was thicker and would lift her, except that Naminé didn't know how to swim. She knew how it should work. She'd seen others do it but this was the first time she'd been confronted with such a large expanse of water. Naminé walked over to the edge of the pool and then hesitated. She was at the shallow end, looking down at the three feet of water. She was tall enough to stand but it really was a lot of water.

She lowered herself to a seat at the edge of the pool and dipped her bare feet into the water. It wasn't as cold as she expected and it almost surprised her enough to cause her to gasp.

Naminé leaned forward, her blond hair falling to the front of her view as she stared at the shifting hazy form of her reflection.

It shouldn't be too hard to learn how to swim.

ii. lazy winding river

Swimming or not. Naminé managed to procure a large innertube to keep her floating above the water. She was covered from the waist down with her arms draped over the sides of the flotation device, her chin cradled in her hand as the currents of the slow moving river swept her in a lazy circle.

She wished that she could draw while she was in the pool but water and paper didn't comfortably combine.

"This is nice. I've never done anything like this before."

b. speed friending~

Naminé was getting better at this game. She didn't have all the answers but she was faster to reply and didn't get shocked by their ever present overlords.

She was a little embarrassed after spending such a great deal of time in the water. Her skin was dotted with moisture and her fingers were pruned. Her blonde hair was still clumped with water but no longer dripping and she was wrapped up in a towel as well as an over shirt that was slowly getting soaked from her bathing suit.

There really was no easy way to dry off.

"Hello." She greeted anyone who spoke to her with a smile and a light pink tint to her pale cheeks.

c. wild card~

[ooc: I am up for anything with Naminé. If you'd like to do something different, she can also be found at the cafe that she works at, swinging around a stick in an attempt to train or drawing.]

[OOC: For all events, Zack will be dressed like this. Yay for canon swim-suit.]

A. Speed Friending

These NAPs things? Zack's a SUPER huge fan. All the joy of meeting people with none of the need to come up with none of hte need to come up with an excuse to leave if the person was too awkward to really deal with. And some of the ice-breaker questions were pretty good too.

Like this one on his cue-card now. Zack grins and looks up at the person that has joined him for this round.

"I'm supposed to ask what your favorite kid's game was."

B. Up A Lazy River

This place is so great that Zack thinks he might just retire here. All the pleasures of water fun, and none of the effort. Or that's what he's decided now that he's on his fourth loop around the lazy river, flopped haphazardly over an intertube with flowers printed all over it. Yeah, this is the life. So much more fun than those weird giant slide things. They look like you could ge hurt or something. He's been in helicopter crashes before, he'll pass on anything that looks as 'exciting' as that.

"You think w can get drinks ordered to us here? A little tray that floats to catch up to you. It'd be perfect."

C. Splash Fest

Sometimes you just have to act like you're five years old, and right now, that's clearly what Zack is doing. He's found himself in the shallows of the water, splashing around with everyone and anyone nearby seems like the right way to let that need for fun out. So caution, if you approach you might well get a bit of a dousing from a guy splashing at whoever comes near.

But wait...

"Oops. Sorry! Didn't mean to splash anyone not in the war. I won't do it again."

Unless they splash him back.

[OOC: For all events, David will be dressed in these. With Speed-Friending he's also got a white t-shirt on.]

A. Speed Friending

The cards this month have a theme. David sighs as he flips through them between sips of his soda and waits for the next person to show up. Does he need to do this 'speed friending' thing again this month? Probably not. But it seemed like the right place to get used to the new swimwear he's bought and he feels like he should make a nod at socializing. The networking could be useful for future plans.

"What's your favorite water sport?"

B. Time in the 'Sun'

David isn't really the 'swimming' kind of person, truth be told. His preference when it comes to large bodies of water is that they be frozen over, skates be given out, and he be given plenty of space to put himself through his paces. But there is an appeal to bringing a good book with him, finding a lounge chair, and enjoying summer treats as the year starts to cool off, David's absolutely there doing all of that. With a lovely novel, actual sunglasses instead of his normal yellow shades, and an aura of peace and relaxation.

Which is rare for him. But he smiles and nods at anyone who comes past, and sometimes reaches out to select some fruit from the bowl of it at his side.

Though really, shouldn't he be in the water? Someone should drag him to it.

[OOC: For all events, Nida will be dressed as such]

A. Speed Friending

"You ever been to a resort town?"

Nida doesn't even bother looking at his cards as he sits at one of the tables in the dry area, enjoying a salad with a towel slung around his neck. The only reason he even at down was because he liked company with meals and after a long day in and around the water park, he needed a snack to help him out. His hair is still wet, all of his make-up is gone, and none of that or the food detracts from the mess of scars that litter his body. The most prominent of which is the massive mess of them at his right shoulder that could be seen as a stab wound to someone experienced with scars and injuries, and another ugly one that is puckered down the side of his left leg. Fun. And he's got no shame about them.

"I pretty much grew up near one. This little ocean-side place that mark my words, someday it's going to be a resort town. It's got the vibe."

B. Slide Time... Eventually

This is what Nida's been doing for almost all of his day. The slides. They're wet, they're wild, they're intense. It's an adrenaline rush that he highly appreciates. The thing he doesn't appreciate?

The lines. They're pretty impressive at this point of the day, especially with the NAP going on here. Which means a really serious problem with the set up of this place. The lines go up stairs. Lots of them. That don't have very high banisters. It's an acrophobic's nightmare, and even those who don't have the fear might be nervous.

Nida? He's made for heights, and smiles as he leans back against a railing, waiting for the line to progress.

"Isn't this the absolute best? The heights, the rush, the water, the air. Fuck, where has this place been all my life?"

Edited 2019-11-08 20:31 (UTC)

He's on his way back to the shore from the slides, and then... Well, she's a girl that he half worries is about to fall into the water. Zack throws himself into a quick breaststroke to cross the distance before pausing near the girl. Better not to spook her in.

"You okay there little missy?"

The man who sits down across from her immediately stands back up, knocking over his chair once she offers the spoon.

"Nida, and I'm deathly allergic to strawberries. Can you just, like, hold that really close to you over there? And then I'll sit?"

Edited 2019-11-08 22:51 (UTC)

Aqua hasn't been here for long herself by the time Naminé appears, but it's long enough that she has grown too restless to enjoy the lazy river. So she takes a walk around and that's when she comes across the blonde. A smile crosses Aqua's face and she detours to say hello.

"Hi, Naminé," she says as she approaches, slipping into the water beside the girl. "Are you enjoying the water?"

Aqua bumps into Arkady on her own inner tube, floating along through the water. By this point, she's been floating along long enough that she's getting too restless to really enjoy it. Relaxing isn't exactly her strong suit.

"I guess so. This isn't really what I'm used to." Despite having a name that invokes water images, Aqua hasn't really done a lot of swimming or relaxing in her life. "I was thinking I would try one of the slides soon."

Did Not Count on This (for Aleifr)

Once he's shed all his layers (and there are a lot of layers, since he isn't at all a fan of the cold thanks to being frozen completely solid and thrown down a mountain that one time) and stuffed them into the locker in the changing room, Ven makes his way out to the main swimming area with a grin on his face, wearing green board shorts and carrying a towel. He loves swimming, swims like a fish in fact, if not quite as well as Aqua, and even though even he is getting weird(er) vibes from the people (things?) who brought them here lately, well, this is a water park, right? This isn't exactly what he knows, but the idea of it is very familiar to him thanks to his time with Sora, a place to run and play and have fun, and he's very determined to make up for lost time and have fun.

There's just one thing he didn't quite... know to factor in.

He's had an isolated life to such an extreme that he didn't even know there was something amiss until everything had gone wrong already. But one thing that meant was that he didn't have a lot of exposure to various lifestyles and ...clothing options. Even residing in Sora's heart didn't really change that, since his awareness was so low, nonexistent most of the time. So walking into this park and suddenly seeing lots of people not wearing much at all? Especially the girls (and women)? Maybe it's not much of a surprise that the very first thing he does when he gets through the door and registers what's happening around him is freeze, staring, even though he can feel his face start to heat. After ten seconds of that, he abruptly about-faces and heads towards the lounge chairs against the wall, parking himself on one in the corner. He's pretty determinedly staring at the ceiling and desperately trying to keep the blood from rushing to his face and wishing Terra was there to coach him through this, all at once, because what is going on.

Swim This Way, We'll Dance and We'll Play (OTA)

What he really needs more than anything to deal with the sudden influx of skin into his visual space is just time to get used to it. After nearly embarrassing himself publicly (and silently hoping that no one saw him react like that), he takes some time to settle down and get used to the atmosphere (and dress code), and then plunges right in with the idea that being in the middle of something might get him adapted to it all faster.

And it seems to work. His first stop is at the slides, since heights and moving fast are two of his Things, and they put him in the middle of everything quickly and literally. He makes several runs down the highest one, grinning and laughing every single time, before moving on to the lazy river. He goes around it several times, both lazily swimming with the current and enjoying the speed boost it gives him and floating in a tube to take it easy and relax. Swimming in the cove in Neverland had involved currents, but this is much better and doesn't involve cannonballs.

It's when he gets to the pool that that well of teenage energy causes potential problems. Someone, probably the park employees, have thrown some overlarge inflatable beach balls into the mess, and in total it seemed like a good idea a the time mode, because except for that first bit he's having a blast, he picks up one of the balls and tosses it easily in the air, raising his other fist at the same time. "Heads up!" he yells, spiking the ball as hard as he can towards what should be an open section of water - but with the way people are moving around, playing or paddling or pushing each other, it's very possible he just whacked someone in the head with the ball.

Friending Time! (OTA)

He absolutely doesn't hate fun, but after a few hours of running around, Ven is getting hungry, and there's a convenient snack bar right over thataway. He acquires a cold, spicy drink that's for some reason colored purple, a basket full of something the person behind the counter insists is popcorn chicken but doesn't look like any form of chicken he's ever seen, and carts it over to one of the tables where there's a free seat. He gives the person in the other chair a friendly smile as he approaches.

"Do you mind if I sit there? I need a break to get all the wrinkles out of my fingers."

Wildcard!

(Want to do something and it's not here? Ideas for shenanigans? Go ahead and pitch it at me, and we can set it up! Here or at

otteratplay)

"You're having more fun with those slides than anyone I've ever seen have fun with them!"

Hey Aqua, don't mind, but there's a guy floating in the water close to where the slides deposit people addressing you, arms relaxing over the water's surface. He has to speak up to be head above the noise ricocheting in the enclosed space, the ensuing crashes of others coming down from the other slides loud, even with the distance between each one.

He laughs easily as he continues, waves one of his hands in a twisting motion. "Try going down on your front. Now that's a feeling!"

If she won't be stopped from above. ...if anyone is manning the slides from the top, anyway!

Tidus looks up from the cue cards he's picked up, taking nothing more than a cursory glance so far, arm still rested on the table they've come from ~~is there a table, there is now~~. He tilts his head at her question, hair a little damp from his earlier ventures in the water, but the rest of him is dry enough: he's had the decency to put on a hoodie jacket and cargo shorts than to drag himself in here like a drenched puppy.

"Let's wing it," he decides easily, sitting the cards down. He retracts his arm, and gets comfortable in his seat. "How long have you been here?"

Because there's something about her that definitely says this isn't her first rodeo. Also, he knows better than to ask about scars on faces.

The guy opposite to Nida laughs, a light chuckle to his last words, friendly. He's sitting comfortably in this whole speeding friending set-up, dressed himself in nothing more than a hoodie jacket and cargo shorts (no shirts no rules), his hair a little damp from earlier water escapades.

"I'd like to see it." He knows that's unlikely, but the sentiment is honest all the same, a smile on his face. Tidus lets a pause sit before he actually answers: "I've been to places by the sea, but nothing you'd call a resort town... but my home was over the sea. An entire city, always awake."

He spreads out his arms as he mentions its capacity over water. "It would've made a pretty popular place."

For the fondness in his voice, there's a certain energy missing to its description. But his smile is still there, his relaxed composure.

"Blitzball. Used to be a star player where I was from."

Tidus has no problem getting right into the questions. He's given the cards on his side something of a glance, but there's no need to look more when the questions have begun. Dressed himself in a zip hoodie and cargo pants, his hair is still a little wet from swimming, but he's relaxed in his seat, enjoying himself.

"What else is there?" He laughs a little. "Boat racing? Swimming?"

Not very serious options, by the tone of his voice.

Ha, he's just a little thing! She sizes him up, deciding to at least try to play nice for a bit. Don't need to frighten the kid, after all.

"Few months? Three or so. Too fucking long, really." She answers and puts her empty cup on the table, glancing around to make eye contact with one of the staff to get another of her 'standing order' drinks.

"It's not the worst place I've been stuck, but it's not home so..." South's tone is more bored than actually frustrated or irritated about the place, gaze falling back on the boy as she shrugs. "It can fuck off."

Dakota you're like an inch taller than him!! ...but possibly pretty capable in kicking his ass, yes. Anyway.

Tidus can't find that position on the city surprising. "There's getting stuck, and there's getting swept up onto another...planet." Is that the word he should be using? Seems right despite his hesitation, even if all he knows about locations so far is the city. But he pauses on that thought before deciding to add, a question in a sense:

"Unless getting stuck means this has happened to you before."

There's some humour to it, as if there should be. But really, he's interested to hear what the woman says.

Mostly 'tiny' as in age, he's just a wee little guy, teeny baby, look at that face, what a smol boy.

"Before? What, like waking up in a literal whole new realm of a world before?" She rolls her eyes and scoffs, like the idea is crazy, never mind it's actively a thing happening right now to her, "No. Unless you count coma hallucinations, no. But, I have questioned more than once if I had some how landed in a different twilight zone bullshit place with some of the planets I've been sent during missions back home."

This is the first time she's ever woken up in an entirely new, unreal plane of existence. Even now, she's only somewhat sure it's even real, honestly. It really could be another coma-induced shitfest, after how bad her last mission had gone and all. Or it a purgatory that she's now trapped in after having unknowingly died or something, anything's possible. She's not fully anchored on any of the possibilities, she's just kind of scooting along here and more or less hoping for the best outcome.

1.) In the Hot Zone - OTA

Hank didn't really want to come, but at the same time he did. He's too fuckin' old for pool parties. He's the pool party dad that should be fuckin' grilling or whatever. He's not cut out for lounging. For one thing, he doesn't want to be the old freak that hangs out around a bunch of scantily clad teenagers. For another, come on, he's just not made for swimwear anymore.

So he goes to the warm, dry area, finds an empty beach chair, and settles in with a book to read. He's looking stylish in his fuckin' bright ass Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts and cheap flip flops. This get up? Not suited for the time of year.

Alright, so what is this government-Head-approved mess he's got to skim over? Right. The Count of Monte Cristo. An oldie but a goodie. He'll just hang out here until Connor's ready to go home. It's simple enough to just dive into the text and ignore the distant shouts and splashes.

2.) Triton Was A Bad Dad - OTA

"What is your favorite water-related movie or book?" Hank looks at the card this time skeptically. He managed to grab a 'themed' batch. But he actually has to stop and think about this one, scratching his chin as he sits across from them at a table.

"Alright, mine's gotta be either Jaws or K-19 Widowmaker. I'd say Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea but god, it's been so fuckin' long since I read that shit I can barely remember it. Maybe I should pick it up again." He remembers liking The Abyss as a kid. And The Little Mermaid but the only one he gave a shit about was the crab.

This is the first time he's actually taken a notion to bother with the cards, likely because of the surge of pleasant nostalgia.

Dangit, got him there.

Coma hallucinations had a story in itself, but it's really the confirmation of planetary travel—actual planetary travel?—that sparks Tidus's interest most, his brows raising.

"You've gone to different planets?" He kinda invited this line of discussion, but it doesn't mean he's less baffled by the concept. "What for?"

She mentioned missions, but what would those kinds of missions be? Resources? Real estate? ...okay not the last, but coming up with any real idea is beyond his imagination.

"Well shit, that's actually a good one. Who the hell has a favorite number?" Jane is working her way through a plate of tacos, figuring she might as well get a meal in while making the heavily encouraged NAP appearance. "Word of advice, kid. Don't ask or answer personal questions at these things. People are watching." She pauses to bite into a grilled shrimp taco.

"My favorite number's 63. Because fuck if I know why but I answered the question, good enough. What's yours? Go ahead."

She may sound paranoid but that's nothing new for her.

The advice gives Tidus pause, just for a moment.

"Six." For a reason, but 'don't answer personal questions' holds him back from saying it—not that it's groundbreaking information, or anything.

"They were pretty open about the whole watching us part, weren't they?" He's just got a drink on his side, some kind of juice, the condensation from it wetting a ring around its bottom. But he's leaned back in his seat, not paying it any mind right now. "Study us, take our DNA..." Okay, his voice wavers a little at repeating that. Creepy. "Don't say anything you wouldn't want people to know any other day. Or place. Right?"

Basically, the kind of rule you'd follow any other day. ...when not waking up in some bizarro city.

"Good instinct." Now he's got it. Enjoying her dinner, Jane resurfaces from mouthfuls of taco to pay proper attention to Tidus.

"Sure they were. But if they don't hear answers from someone they'll zap someone into giving them. I saw it last month." She sits back too, taking a break from her exorbitant tacos. "Best to keep it neutral. I'm glad you get it. Some people try to play along, I think."
