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!

Right. That crew.

"I... I ain't seen 'em in a while." That sentimental expression turns a little... mournful? Guilty? "Don't think I will be again. I'm one of those people that ain't really got a place to go when my year's up."

He doesn't elaborate, but last he checked he was an ice cube floating in space. Getting what he figures he deserved.

What? Wait... Oh. Confusion faded into surprise, followed by a deep frown. So people were returned from the dead here, too. "Ah..." Well, that's awkward.

He lifts a hand to rub at the back of his neck, trying to think of a good way to respond. "All the more reason to make it count, yeah?" He's not sure that's helpful.

"What'll you do? You can choose to stay, if that's your kinda thing." He met someone who had.

"Never liked staying in one place for too long, but uh..."

Yondu spreads his blue hands in lazy resignation. He doesn't know what the fuck to do. He has no future and he feels like every day he stays here that becomes more apparent to him. He ends up petting one of the cats (the actual cats) that wanders within affection distance.

"Don't even know if you can go somewhere else."

Cats are good distraction and comfort. Unfortunately, these are complicated issues Seifer has no genuine experience with. They're all just trying to find their own way on these strange rocks they keep being whisked away to.

"I was tryin'. To go somewhere else that is, before I got sucked up into this place. Dunno maybe this is the 'somewhere else'. Either way, might be worth askin'. I'm gonna."

He doesn't want to go home. It's not that he can't, or he's dead there or anything like that. He just really doesn't like the place anymore and would very much like to leave it to get hammered by monsters without him.

"Maybe. Had trouble convincin' myself to talk to the thing. It reminds me of uh... somethin' else." He means the Head. And the resemblance to The Supreme Intelligence makes the thing inherently untrustworthy.

"Might be worth askin', yeah. But I don't think I'm set to trust what we're told.

"That said... I figure if it's got the tech, then eventually maybe someone else can make the tech to get the hell out." He's pretty sure the Head is just limiting them.
firacrux: (Oh really?)

"You've met something like this before?" It's a far stretch outside of anything he's accustomed to. Reality and time bending Sorceresses? Sure, those are totally normal. Thinking super machines? Nope. Although even Seifer's suspicious of it. Granted he's suspicious of anything that wants his obedience.

He offers a rueful huff and a nod. "Yeah, got a point there." The whole situation was not only strange, but highly suspect. What reason did this highly intelligent machine really have for bringing them there?

"True..." That one was hummed more thoughtfully. "Hey, speakin' of tech, you're pretty handy with a wrench aren't you?" Of course he is, that's how they met.
