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!

Will's eyes went wide, as all flirty nature melted away and he stepped closer, holding his hands out as if showing he meant no harm, one going into his coat to pull out a clean handkerchief and holding it towards her, he looked younger than her, almost like a teenager barley into manhood.

"Oh, no no, that's no good. What went wrong? How can I help?"

"I didn't see this coming." Instead of accepting the handkerchief she motions to the people around them, mournful but not weeping yet. "This was supposed to be my place. Now it's theirs."

She had guessed she was a target now. She had known she could lose everything. She just didn't realize what she had could be so casually ripped out of her hands.

He kept that respectable distance and nodded slightly. "That's what they do, its their way of reminding us they rule us. Don't cry though, once they clear out we can make this your space again." He offered softly. "They did this to my business last year. All these people in one room. It was hell." He went on to try and offered a comfort.

"How?" she asked helplessly. "How can you make them give it back? They'll just take more." You specifically, as she didn't think she could manage it. She knew they would only get more aggressive, there were a dozen paintings in the gallery proving it.

"It's going to sound really silly, but I combed every inch of the place for cameras and once i was sure it wasn't bugged, I burned a lot of overpowering insense to chase off the smell of all of those people and replaced all of my pillows. Like I said, it sounds silly but it made me feel like I had my power back. They have't returned, they rarely use the same spot twice."
