AUGUST RUNDOWN.
Well, well, y'all survived another month in this charming little town - great job! A little more mystery than violence this month, which is a trend we will see continuing on into August. Read on for details!
it's dangerous to go alone!! take this with you.
Once again, apps will be open August 1-7, with activity check reporting due no later than August 5. You can report in any time, however - you're not required to wait until the 1st!
NAPs, our regular monthly intro event for getting to know your neighbors, will be held August 10-14, of course. As always, participation is optional, but you can't make new friends and enemies if you don't get out and meet people!
Speaking of enemies - remember how everyone has that microchip that nobody ICly knows about? It's going to come into play with this month's main event. Not only does the chip function as a universal translator, it's also a way for the Head to keep tabs on all Dualizens - in other words, the Head is lowkey linked into your heads. Neat, huh? The Head mostly uses this for tracking and information-gathering purposes - because, as you know, this is a cyberpunk dystopia - but this month, there will be a slight complication. Due to mysterious and unforeseen technical difficulties, there will be a citywide glitch, and through the Head's mindlink, all opted-in characters will share memories with each other.
This includes the Head, too! Bits and pieces of its memory banks will become available throughout the glitching time. Haven't you wondered what really happened to the city's original inhabitants? Well, I'm glad you asked, because here is your opportunity to find out a little more. Take notes and poke around afterward, and you might just uncover something useful and horrifying!
Participation in the mindlinking is optional, of course. But don't you want to take advantage of this fun technical error and subject your fellow citizens to your best and/or worst memories? The memory sharing will be experienced as a rolling effect from August 15-24.
Posts can be made in either logs or network format, but please remember to use warnings for any potentially triggering and traumatic content. You can share as many memories as you'd like (within reason) but please contain them to a single post.
Please also remember that even though the microchip is responsible for this memory sharing, no character is aware that they have a chip embedded in their body. No lucky guessing, no sudden revelations, nada. All characters should be completely mystified as to how the hell they're getting other people's memories shoved in their heads. The chip's existence will become known ICly a little farther down the line, so please have patience and wait until then to give us your expressions of outrage.
And while there's no word from the Heart this month, they certainly haven't disappeared. Maybe once you've had your dose of after-mindlink brainbleach, you'd be interested in poking around for more information about the party or parties responsible for last month's weird broadcast and the Dualis Days bombing? This is a huge city and there are plenty of places to comb for clues, after all. If you're interested in doing some investigating, please comment below and the mods will be in touch with more information about what information will be available and how to find it.
Please feel free to ask questions below and use this post as a place to plot things out amongst yourselves!
