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!

"Magic." It was difficult to believe, even as he files away the information streamed to him for later reference. "Do you require food now?" It seemed like an interesting enhancement, but requiring regular meals could become a nuisance. He blinks, eyebrows raising at the obvious 'healing'. Was this the magic Connor was referring to? It was...disturbing, but something he could think through later.
He smiles at the question, nodding. "He always encouraged me. He...knew I was alive before I really did."

He's an android. Now that the revolutions done with, what he can do for androids is be visible. Be very obviously what he is and if that makes humans uncomfortable, let them be. He can take it. In a way, he was made to. But here, that gesture means absolutely nothing. It's just an identifying marker that literally lights him up like a beacon. And it has to go.
"I don't need it, no - it's just... I wanted to get involved." He gestures around. "A lot of organic social gatherings revolve around food. The only problem with it is that now I don't really like using my forensics suite."
It's hard to go from tasting food to having to put chemicals or blood into his mouth. Luckily, it rarely comes up around here.
Markus's comment about Carl hits home in a way that makes Connor smile as well, warmer than ever. "Yeah. That's what Hank was for me. He knew while I was still denying it."

"Do you have a reason to use your forensics suite here? Surely this place has something just as good, even if you have to take it to a lab." He does know Connor was assigned to the police department back home of course, and it would make sense to stick with familiar programming in such an unknown place.
"It's scary, being alive and responsible for your own fate. Denial's easier." He knew. It was easier and safer, but he'd been blind.
