Baby lately the plans we're making
WHO: Open to all Dualizens
WHAT: Your regularly scheduled NAPs event for the month
WHERE: Our Crazy Jane's Gallows!
WHEN: January 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 just fine! But for the rest of you, the Head knows this is gonna 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 (possibly invasive) personal questions and receive results - or ignore the card and yeet yourself straight into a brand new friendship, whatever works! 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?!
Upon arrival, most will be ushered in by the Admins into the Gallery. Just ignore that large painting on the graffiti wall. Once inside you can begin to mingle and meet your fellow Dualizens, the city has also provided box wine, crackers and cheese as refreshments, a lovely Charcuterie spread laid out for any to sample while looking at the art and mingling.
This month there are two other lovely items for your amusement or horror! First off is a Karaoke machine, how the hell did they pull off getting every song you can think of with lyrics to all? Though, nearly every foul word is replaced with the sound a goose honking, have fun with that! Also, along with your normal note cards of questions you will find blank paper and kiddie packs of crayons. Make some art and leave it behind or leave it for your new friend!

Domino | XMCU | OTA
There's a lot of parties around here. So maybe this one's not as fancy as the last one, and maybe she just got lucky (ha) with her timing getting here, but damn, they sure do want to keep pretending nothing is wrong. That is some epic levels of denial. Or cover up. Probably that one.
Maybe one day she'll learn not to show up to these things, but today is not that day. Dom has wandered her way into the gallery and continues wandering around, looking at paintings and trying hard not to shotgun the wine in her glass, taking more dignified sips instead. She may or may not be a few in already, though. It's terrible, but it's alcohol, at least.
And apparently she needs it to handle some of the art in here. She definitely would not want to come across this shit in the dark. Somebody is in a bad place.
"Fuck, man...should I call somebody?"
Karaoke...ish
Some of the censoring on the songs is hilarious--intentionally or otherwise. The random goose honks make her snicker every time, and she half wishes a certain one of her friends was there so he could just shout the swears over top of the good honks. Or else honk along with it. It was hard to say what he'd do. Either would be hysterical. Or just randomly switching back and forth between the two. Just because.
Ah well. It's entertaining enough seeing who's brave enough to get up and sing in front of everybody. Well or badly. Either way. Though the bad ones are a whole lot funnier. Thoe whole...thing is super annoying though.
"Is anyone else actually drunk enough of this because I'm sure as hell not."

"Nah, she's just like that." Hank says nonchalantly. "Honestly I fuckin' dig the one that did all this more than the one with Barbie doll brain. Er... the personality, not any picture. I'd not be surprised by a Barbie doll brain painting, though."
But maybe he's still a little huffy about that dateless night. But hell, he can appreciate one of Jane's personalities pours her soul out.
Re: Wandering
"I mean, if you know her you might want to check in. She is definitely not okay."
no subject
"I figure everyone's brain is not okay at this point, though. Maybe she's just... dumping out everything she's thinking, you know?
"Or I dunno, banking off shock value. I used to watch that old adult swim shit when I was in college." And that was worse.
no subject
"Hey, there was some good stuff on that, don't knock it."
no subject
He makes a dismissive gesture.
"Eh. Yeah, I'll ask her. She seems generally fucked up even when she's not the artist... sort of a lot of personalities in there."
no subject
"Oh come on, it was a cartoon. Like, jokes? You know what jokes are?"
no subject
But yeah, he'll check in. "Could be one of the others, though. She's..."
He makes a loose motion around his head. "She's got a lot going on up there so I might get put on call waiting."
no subject
"Yeah well, I'm just saying. I don't know her or anything but she seems kind of...you know."
no subject
"Yeah, she is uh pretty uh... you know. I'll try to talk to the artist bit." As if the other bits are all different things; which he knows they are. But it's hard to explain this strange bewildering superpower version of DID to someone.
"I swear I recognize some of the places in these pictures."

He scratches his beard thoughtfully. Real art connoisseur here. 'French style' and 'like those old mature cartoons' being his big description of what's going on.
no subject
"That mean anything, or is that just what she has to work with right now?" Take that how you will, Hank. She's good either way.

When Domino passes nearby, pausing at a piece of art, and makes a comment, it's fairly near Vincent and he actually responds.
"Mmm. But who would answer?"
Re: Wandering
"You have any ideas?"
Re: Wandering
"The authorities for starters."
