i've been bitten by the bug ...
WHO: Open to all residents
WHAT: Inoculation Season, plus your regular monthly NAPs session
WHERE: Throughout the city, with NAPs held at The Ax Hole.
WHEN: Sept. 10-30 for plague shots and associated side effects; Sept. 10-14 for NAPs
WARNINGS: Please use if applicable!
So tell me, what do you prescribe for these symptoms?
Remember that awful plague that wiped out the city's entire original population? You know, the entire reason you've been brought here? Well, the medical science community of Dualis has been hard at work concocting a cure for as long as anyone can remember, with minimal results. But during the morning of the 10th, news of a breakthrough is announced is a special city-wide bulletin. All media channels are overtaken with this message, and alerts hit every citizen's phone. The best part? Science needs your help!
There's no formal approval process for new vaccines and medications, just a series of volunteer trials before it's determined whether what's being tested is effective. All residents are invited to participate in these trials, with a bonus of 200 extra duos as compensation for their time and possible suffering. Simply head down to your nearest MedDualis clinic and inform the MedDroids supervising that you're reporting for your civic duty. Participants will be given a quick, easy, and practically painless inoculation shot in the arm, and will walk out the door 200 duos richer. Neat, huh?
Participants will be warned that like all experimental drugs, there may be side effects. A non-comprehensive list of those possible side effects includes: minor appearance changes (hair/skin/eye color), enhancing or reducing senses (smell, taste, hearing, sight, etc.), sudden mild development of extranormal abilities (telepathy, super strength, super speed, etc.), the ability to share dreams (if you're not tired of that sorta thing after last month), and/or loss of control over abilities you already possess, or those abilities misfiring. Hey, at least death isn't included on this list!
Any intrepid Dualizen who comes down with a case of weirdness as a result of doing their civic duty will find that weirdness will wear off by the end of the month. The Head thanks you for your sacrifice!
Don't you feel the fever like I do?
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 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, 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?!
This month’s event is held at an exciting new establishment called The Ax Hole! The 'Hole is an indoor ax-throwing range plus bar plus mid-price grill-type restaurant, the first of its kind to find a home here in Dualis. You must be at least 18 to drink and/or throw axes, and if you are throwing axes, there is a limit of one drink per hour. The bartenders are very strict about enforcing this rule, and employees are available to give safety instructions on proper ax-throwing technique and supervise activities.
This is a family-friendly establishment, so anyone under 18 is welcome in the restaurant section and the viewing room between the restaurant and range to watch the ax-throwing action, but they are absolutely not allowed inside the range, even just to watch. In fact, anyone who wishes admittance to the range must sign a waiver stating that they understand the risks of participating and agree to hold the Ax Hole free of liability in the event of any accidents that cause injury or death.
If that hasn't scared you off yet, come on down and meet your new neighbors! Oh, and do try to exit with at least as many fingers and limbs as when you entered, OK?

He won't pre-construct anything right now. But he's aware he'd have to.
"So this is a hobby?"
He's still figuring out what he should do for fun. He doesn't think axe throwing is it, but he's still going to ask organics about it when he can.

no subject
Or have literally no other hope left but using one last ditch effort before running. Maybe. He's never been in that position before. His old programming would make him sacrifice himself to win a fight if he needed, but that was before he broke out of that programming. Now? Who knows.
no subject
Aleifr's actually pleasantly surprised by that. The man at the other end of the range didn't look like he'd been in a fight in his entire life, and he'd have expected the obvious answer to elude him.
"Better to keep your weapon in your hand unless you're absolutely certain the fight's over." He says as he walks back over to the throwing mark. "But it's fun, so some people make a game of it."
no subject
"I wasn't allowed to carry a weapon back home." That doesn't mean he didn't pick one up a few times - perks of having unstable software that didn't force him to obey laws. "I had to depend on disarming an opponent so I could fight them unarmed."
So if some idiot wanted to try throwing an axe at him, that would work out pretty well for him.
"But they were usually carrying guns."
no subject
There was one thing that stuck out to him even more, though.
"You weren't allowed?"
Not every place is as dangerous as Fenris. Aleifr's time here has taught him that. But the idea of someone being prevented from carrying a weapon to defend themselves ...?
Fucking insanity to him. Insanity, or the penalty for some crime or misdeed.
no subject
“The American Android Act,” he says dryly, then quotes with some irony: ““Androids are strictly forbidden from carrying or using any type of weapon.””
It’s not that impressive to be an android programmed to be able to handle weaponry and perform whatever physical feats their role requires. So Connor thinks, anyway.
“I can use all kinds of weapons - I know how, but I was never allowed.” That hasn’t stopped him picking them up before and fully intending to use them, but that just means Connor didn’t always obey the law. The law still exists all the same.
