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!

[ Aw, this guy's in a really bad mood. That's a little awkward for Finn, who is neutral on being at this event but enthusiastic about making new friends. He scratches his neck as he looks around the room for inspiration. ]

Oh, uh, well... Oh! I live near the Candy Kingdom, and everything is made out of Candy there! Even the buildings. Even the roads!

[ This place is mostly full of humans, which probably means none of them have been to the Candy Kingdom, right? ]

[Tim blinks, then gives him a bemused but curious look.]

Seriously? That definitely counts as an "interesting fact about your home." I've never even heard of a Candy Kingdom. How do they handle things like rain?

[It would melt the candy, right?]
punchpunchkisskiss: (thinking)

[ Bemused is better than annoyed! Probably. He has to think about that question though. ]

Nothing special, I don't think. What do you mean, 'handle'?

[ He's definitely never seen candy dissolve in water. Most of the candy he eats was engineered by Princess Bubblegum, because most of the candy he eats is Candy Kingdom garbage. ]

[Tim blinks.]

Um. Candy is made of sugar... doesn't it melt?
punchpunchkisskiss: (:o)

Sugar melts in rain?

[ Who knew! ]

Weird. It doesn't melt in the Candy Kingdom. Well, I don't think it does... I'm not usually there when it's raining.

[Well, that's weird. But Tim guesses that if there is a kingdom and people made out of candy, they would have to evolve to survive no matter what the weather, or there wouldn't be a Candy Kingdom anymore.

...He's honestly trying to figure out how a Candy Kingdom would come to be and not considering magic? Really?]


It does where I'm from. But I've never heard of a Candy Kingdom, so... maybe the rules are different?

Probably. You'd have to ask Princess Bubblegum. She built the whole kingdom, and all the candy people! She would know for sure.
