In Flux, the capitol of Dazed, changes location every now and then, but can always be found by train if one knows which line to take and when to get off. Regardless of its mutability, all business must be conducted In Flux.
In In Flux all marriage licenses, visas, birth and death certificates, and deeds are writ.
The Dazed must travel to the capitol, where ever it happens to be that day, and then find the appropriate government office.
The offices also move as the numbers of staff required grows or shrinks.
In Flux can be a bustling city or a small town depending.
It’s population is held down by the constant shifts in space.
Not all who would live there can find it.
Most of the positions in In Flux are elected so the In Fluxians constantly worry about upcoming votes.
“Who knows who will be here next!” they exclaim.

More to the point, could I stay moving for the 4+ hours straight it would take to complete the marathon? To do the training mileage, I knew I'd have to run through streets and trails on my own and that made me nervous, too. Waves of grief wash us to strange shores. Whe...
