Look at all of these bright, shining new faces! There’s even a few less bright, less shining 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 the brand new RoCocoa Cat Cafe, a sparkly new establishment that caters to children and the young at heart with iced and hot cocoa drinks of all kinds, delicious pastries, age-appropriate live music, and of course many friendly kitties who love to lounge in laps. The cats are of all shapes, sizes, and colors, including some who may look a little different from what you expect, or may look like an ordinary cat but are actually anything but ordinary underneath that adorable fur coat. All cats in the cafe are adoptable, too, if you meet a new furry friend and just can’t bear to go home without them!

So pull up a chair, get to know your new neighbors, and enjoy a sugary treat or two with the resident furbabies. You might just meet your new two- or four-legged best friend!

Cissie has also been receiving very pointed reminders and alerts about this month's event, probably because she hasn't attended any yet either. She doesn't necessarily try to avoid this month's though, because the idea of a cat cafe is too interesting to pass up. She's never had a pet, even in all of her recent travels, but she's always wanted one. She never really considered the fact that there might be pets here in Dualis, or that there might be cats.

When she sits at her first table, it's across from Yondu. She looks up at him in confusion when he asks her to set the cat on the floor. The cat in question wanders toward her and gives a soft mew before sitting and setting to washing its face.

"...This cat?" Cissie asks, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "Are you allergic or something?"

If he's allergic, coming to an event at a cat cafe seems like a silly decision.

"Careful... Careful," Yondu emphasizes, holding up his hands when the flerken chooses to wander over to her and do its damndest to be adorable. Yondu sees you, villain!

"That ain't a cat. It's a Flerkin. Now, I reckon not all o' these are your standard Terran felines. I don't know much about those anyway. But that'n? Surely ain't. Look real close at its tongue when its lickin' itself an' you might start seein' what I mean."

He's managed to lean back in his chair a little during this entire warning spiel.
