you understand, i got a plan for us.
WHO: Errybody in the city
WHAT: Marker tag and NAPs
WHERE: Everywhere in the city for marker tag; the Spenny’s near the dorms for NAPs
WHEN: July 10-31 for marker tag; July 10-14 for NAPs
WARNINGS: Please use these if applicable!
To tag or not to tag - that is the question.
Welcome, one and all, to a long-running Dualis summer tradition: the annual city-wide Dualis Marker Tag Competition! For the next three weeks, all participants who accept the challenge will be given a marker and set free to tag any other participant in the city by making a mark on their skin, while attempting to avoid being tagged themselves. Careful, though - the ink marks last three weeks, so you’ll have to wait until the competition concludes to wash everything off.
Markers come in all colors, even fluorescent, glitter, and glow-in-the-dark, and you can use however many markers your inner child’s heart desires. These markers will leave marks even on people who have chosen not to play, but you can easily purchase an armband, headband, or similar accessory that says NONPARTICIPANT if you so desire. Marking nonparticipants is considered extremely bad form and wins you no prizes, but "misfires" do still happen, on occasion. It’s usually considered polite to offer a mistaken nonparticipant that you’ve marked a small reparation, like coffee or a more adult beverage.
Safe zones do exist! Any establishment can put out a sign that marks it as such - signs in shop windows, chalkboards outside bars, and the like; many do this, just to keep the general chaos and injury/property damage liability down. Tenants of private residences typically agree that their spaces are also safe zones, but that's up to y’all to hash out.
Have fun! And maybe try not to put anyone’s eye out, yeah?
I like to party and by party I mean NAPs.
Look at all of these bright, shining new faces! There’s even a few less bright, less shining 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, then 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?!
Plus, you get to hang out for a while at the intergalactically renowned Spenny’s Diner! Spenny’s is a declared safe zone from marker tag shenanigans - until you roll out of the door, at least. So pull up a chair, get to know your new neighbors, and enjoy a cup or two of Spenny’s famous Electric Shock coffee, which contains 900 milligrams of caffeine per cup. Hope you didn’t plan on sleeping tonight!

Tagged, He's It
"Dammit, Tommy," he curses as his eyes glance around. His own marker, a light shade of neon blue, is produced from his pocket. The secret, of course, is to find somewhere to ambush Tommy. And unlike Tommy, Nida knows this neighborhood. Or at least what it is today. All he has to do is climb over a building and drop down onto the other side and...
Coffee shop. He's going to get you, Shepherd!
no subject
A coffee shop is an obvious stop for Tommy, and Nida knows that. Tommy isn’t in search of extra caffeine right now, but he stops and leans lazily against the cafe’s outer wall, marker twirled in his hand, as he waits for Nida to appear.
no subject
“You’re just wonderfully insufferable now, Tommy. And so unfair.”
no subject
"Hey man, hate the game, not the player." He shrugs. "Not my fault no one said speedsters couldn't participate." Which is a rule that's likely to change for next year, if those in charge have any sense as to fairness.
no subject
“One mark and I promise not to make out with Billy in front of you for a month.”
no subject
“Unless you’re planning on tying me down, I can always leave when you two start getting mushy and gross. You remember that, right?”
no subject
That he knows of.
no subject
"Uh, you remember I can vibrate through solid objects, right?" Knots aren't gonna do anything. Sorry, Nida.
no subject
“You mean, sorta like what oranges could do back in the village?”
He tries not to think of what it was like to be orange. All the decisions he made, mostly bad. One good.
