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!

A protector? Interesting. Nida considers Wanda for a long moment and then nods. Yes, given what he knows of Billy and Tommy, he absolutely believes it of their mother. But honestly?

"In your position, I'd probably choose the miners. The government has had attacks on it recently, and people... they need looked out for in a different way. If there's a way you can protect people doing a difficult job, do it."

He definitely believes in protecting the weak people. People who couldn't help themselves. Still... it's the one clearly away from town.

"But I think they'd like you here more. It's not a situation I envy you."

"Yes but I want to know what the government is doing and the best way to do that is to be close. I can also work to prevent needless death." At least in theory. "Doing nothing or avoiding it means that nothing will change for the better."

So she'd likely do both, part time.

"I want to be here. For them. But I am glad that you're here for them too." She smiled at Nida just as the bell rang for the stupid game to continue. Wanda sighed suddenly feeling tired. "I'd like to see them. Do you mind if I go?"

[skyward_eyes]

That's... a really good point and Nida raises his eyebrows, nodding along to it. Got to give her all the credit there. In fact, he absolutely approves.

"Go, go. We'll catch up later," Nida promises her, grinning. "Enjoy the work. I've got to get myself another drink and continue mingling. It's saving me from a really nasty return client at the shop."

"Thank you. I hope to see you again soon."

Wanda offered him a warm smile before rising and going to look for her son's. It'll be easier to find Billy over Tommy but she makes a note to find them both, first by inspecting those sitting at the table.
