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!

Tommy really shouldn’t be so surprised to see Wanda here. Whatever cosmic forces keep picking up people and shuffling them through the multiverse seem pretty capricious, and Wanda’s already been through so much. Why wouldn’t she get picked up again? Why wouldn’t Tommy be confronted with the painful memory of losing her in the village? What are the chances it’s the same Wanda he spent time getting to know there? Slim to none, he guesses, but shakes off his shock and puts on a smile as he takes the seat opposite her.

“Hey. Wanda, right? I’m Tommy. This might sound crazy, but I kinda know you. It’s a whole multiverse thing, hope it’s not too weird.”

Wanda felt her heart stop when Tommy came to sit across from her. Nida had told her that he and Billy were both here but seeing them was something completely different. So much has happened since she'd seen him last. She'd fallen in love and had killed Vision and then disappeared for five years only to fight and lose the people she cared about.

She was tired of losing people.

Fuck the questions. Wanda rose from her side of the table, walked around it towards Tommy and pulled him into a hug. When she spoke her voice was soft and she sounded like she was near tears. "I've missed you so much. I was so scared that I'd never get to see you or Billy again."

She didn't care if this world ended up sucking as much as the others. She had her boys back and Wanda wasn't willing to lose any more of her family.
