WHO: Open to all residents
WHAT: Your regularly scheduled NAPs event for the month
WHERE: The RoCocoa Cat Cafe
WHEN: Aug. 10-14
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, 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!

"That simply makes to much sense." He replied with a slight amusement, as he tossed the cards back down, looking to the person who said across from him. The fact he doesn't look to closely at him is a second check in the 'okay person' box, right after Coffee, good taste there.

"Ahh, so we could in fact be in a bad 50's B-movie." he replied, before shrugging. "It had to be that or Skynet." Everyone knows Terminator right? Also as someone whose worked with sheild, he's a hypocrite for judging computers.

Uh-oh, Nida definitely doesn't know the term Skynet. Terminator was not a movie his boyfriend had told him about.

"Uh, sorry, you're going to have to clarify here. I'm pretty sure the 50s you're referring to and the one in my world's history are very different."

He blinked a little before straightening his posture, and waved one of his long nailed hands as he started speaking.

"The 50's where I am from is simply a decade but, it was a simpler time the movies from then namely science fiction; Aliens and such, were all notoriously bad. plates with strings as space crafts and such. An A movie, is a good movie. A B movie is one made cheap and stupid."

"Are there C movies?" Nida asks. He knows so little of Earth entertainment. Mostly he knows Star Wars. That's CLEARLY an A. He will not accept arguments.

But a new point of view isn't bad? He is actually intrigued.

"We don't tend to have a lot of movies like that."

"...I honestly don't know." It was a good question, he only knew A and B from dealing with his best friend, Jack. Star Wars was definitely an A.

"Really? What is your world like?"

[personal profile] skyward_eyes 2019-08-14 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Star Wars is an A and Nida's only head it retold. He loved it.

"I'll have to ask other people if 'C' is a classification on their world. But Hyne..."

Both a curse and a musing on his home world. How did you describe a planet like Hyne?

"Well, it's got monsters. Mostly because of the moon. And magic. I'd say it's complicated, but I imagine most worlds are."

[personal profile] doesnotsparkle 2019-08-19 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do let me know, I'd be curious to see how other worlds and places classify their movies."

He realized Hyne was the world name as Nida spoke on and he nodded a bit. "Most worlds have monsters, Lunar Cycles simply help. Most monsters know to keep to the shadows, but something tells me my definition of monsters may not be the same as yours." Some of those monsters were Michael's best friends.

"From my understanding, worlds where monsters fall to the planet FROM the moon aren't as common," Nida shrugs, but his look doesn't give away any apparent lie. It's Hyne's truth.

"Well, I suppose that would be true, at least in my world nothing can live on the moon, though my closest friend, Jack, is controlled by the lunar cycles. Which is why I assumed." No one wanted to deal with a werewolf on the full moon. Michael regularly did.

Were werewolves even a thing on Hyne? Nida hadn't heard of them.

"Yeah, most people don't have that issue. Hell, we barely have a lot of animals anymore, given the way they've been corrupted by whatever makes moon monsters. I was trained to hunt them down. Dragons, chimera, all sorts of things."

"In short you are a monster hunter." He couldn't but think of Elsa Bloodstone and while that was worrying he wasn't 100% a monster, and saw no point in admitting her was. "Admirable profession as any. Though clearly our worlds are very different."

[personal profile] skyward_eyes 2019-08-19 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"A mercenary actually," Nida corrects. And primarily a spy. But yes, a monster hunter. But not the sort that Morbius would have to worry about. "Very different. You're from a form of Earth, and from my understanding, it rarely has what we'd classify back home as a proper monster. But you have elephants. And that's cool."
doesnotsparkle: (115)

[personal profile] doesnotsparkle 2019-08-19 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He thinks of Frank or Wade when the other says he's a mercenary. This man is a far cry from what he would expect but who was he to judge anyone?

"Well yes, elephants are cool. Not that I have ever seen one in person."

"They're long since gone in mine. Couldn't get away from monsters. I imagine dragons ate them, if they're really as big as Billy told me," Nida smiles. The idea that elephants and lions and the like are REAL just tickles him pink. They're like fairy tales.

"Facinating." He answered, it was curious to hear of such a world. He idly wondered how that world would fare against the zombie world. He said nothing else, simply nodding.

Zombies tended to be easy to take on in his world actually. Nice healing magic and all of that.

"No one knows why. It's just the way our world happens. When monsters fall it's called a Lunar Cry."

[personal profile] doesnotsparkle 2019-08-19 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"It sounds like quiet the mystery." He admitted, "a very interesting place you must live." He added, it did truely sound rather facinating, but one world in and Michaels tired of world hoping.

"Interesting and sometimes really bad," Nida shrugs. "There are a few of us here, from Hyne. Most of us were raised by that mercenary academy, so we're all monster hunters."

[personal profile] doesnotsparkle 2019-08-20 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is most worlds though, in my experience. Not that I have traveled other worlds but I have helped monitor them. And that sounds like quite a useful school."

[personal profile] skyward_eyes 2019-08-20 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, don't approve of this. Nida resists the bitter laugh.

"Perhaps. If it wasn't starting training children from the age of five. Making us dependent upon it."

"Oh, see thats different. No, I don't like that at all." He says as the buzzer rings to let everyone know it's time to switch. "It was a pleasure, my name is Michael by the way."

"Nida, and have a good day," Nida says, nodding his head briefly. Then he's up and moving. Only fair.
