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!

Protecting people from themselves. Good way to put it. "Well, we tend to be our own worst enemy."

He tries to dismiss his earlier stumble, offering his free, not wine-wielding hand for a quick shake.

"I think I've seen you around."

He doesn't specify where right now. The place might be bugged. But he's thinking at that Heart meeting. He was a little into throwing a giant old-man tantrum about Marie not answering his questions and being cagy, though. Will didn't get as much attention as he deserved.

"That's the gods honest truth, ain't it? I am. I get myself in more trouble than anyone else. But hey, if I can do some good, than I will." He explained as he smiled, returning the shake as it was offered.

"Oh I'm sure you have, I'm the snuggle therapist to the elite here. Which basically means I get paid a lot to lay down with people, pretty sweet gig." Helped with info to. "Maybe sometime you can stop by and we can chat, if you need that kinda thing. A guy like you clearly must have someone special." He mused without a drop of teasing, or fishing. Just a quiet observation and an invitation in case the place was bugged. He doubted it though, if only because their were Admins around.

"That's the most we can ask of anyone." He likes the line, obviously. He still wants reasons to believe in himself, believe in others, and William hits a soft spot right there. Either he's a good cuddle hooker and has the right lines to use, or he's genuinely a tarnished gem.

"Well uh... I didn't for a while, yeah. But you see that guy over there," he points off in the distance to Connor, who generally suits the setting far more than Hank.

"That's my usual 'snuggle therapist'. But um... I don't think he'd mind if I asked for some tips in more private company. That's not near the uh... 'polite' company..." He makes a gesture around them. Because right, the Admins. And he's just dimly aware of the innuendo in the comments that the uncertainty sounds genuine.
