WHO: All y’all!
WHAT: Your regularly scheduled NAPs event for the month
WHERE: Fort Pillowtown
WHEN: Oct. 7-10
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 - maybe even a few folks without 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 a new, super-comfy all-ages establishment called Fort Pillowtown. As the name suggests, it’s a large indoor space filled wall to wall with permanent pillowforts. There are a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, with each individual fort constructed of gauzy hanging sheets, strings of soft lights, warm blankets, plush toys, a mini television with on-screen menu for choosing movies to watch and video games to play, and yes, lots and lots of pillows. Snacks and drinks of all sorts are available for purchase, as are whimsical onesies and comfy slippers to wear. Board and card game sets are also available to borrow or buy. Sounds like a dream, right?

So pull up a pillow pile, get to know your new neighbors, and enjoy a well-earned and comfy chill-out session. And hey, if you end up napping at NAPs, rest assured that it’s absolutely allowed.

[ oof. there's a lot happening here that charles tries to swim through, pulling back a little. ]

Yes. I've only just arrived.

[ a beat. ]

Are you — looking for someone?
le_chevalier: (B&W - that aint Saya)

<3<3

[ Not the best place to be. ]

It would seem they push us all together upon arrival.

[ he added before blinking looking surprised a split second before he fell back to the look of indifference. ]

Yes, in truth I am. A woman named Saya.
axiomed: (Nothing could come between us)

[personal profile] axiomed 2019-10-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
A friend?

[ charles would rather not come out as a telepath just yet. it always garners . . . unpleasant reactions. ]
le_chevalier: (don't fall)

[personal profile] le_chevalier 2019-10-14 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A loaded question, sure their had been a kiss before the bombing, and words of love exchanged but, did he really deserve it? Would she even remember when she wakes again if she wasn't here?

He takes a second before shaking his head. ]


I am her servant. [ He explains. He didn't know if Saya considered him a friend... so much Saya never shares, back at the Zoo, yes they were friends as close as could be. Since, questions always lingered. ] But I worry for her, she was injured when I saw her last.
axiomed: (Don't wake me up)

[personal profile] axiomed 2019-10-15 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if she is around, I'll direct her your way.

[ though charles hasn't sensed any wounded people, his scope is a little limited without cerebro. ]
le_chevalier: (just a flesh wound)

[personal profile] le_chevalier 2019-10-15 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, sir. I do nto have a photo to share, but she looks around seventeen, with short dark hair and brown eyes.

[ Though his mind flashed them burning red swinging a sword at him as his face stayed unreadable. The fun of being traumatized by the one you adore. He lifted one of the cards with his bandaged hand. ]

What is your favorite food?
axiomed: (You have called upon the angels)

[personal profile] axiomed 2019-10-16 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ charles smiles. ]

I'm rather fond of pasta, though I'd never say no to steak.

Though how does one bond over favourite food?
le_chevalier: (sad looks)

[personal profile] le_chevalier 2019-10-17 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I rather liked trifle at a time...? I do not really eat anymore.

[ Haji replied as he placed the card to show the question. ]

I am not quiet sure, these all seems rather strange.
axiomed: (Now I'm ready for you)

[personal profile] axiomed 2019-10-18 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ charles nods. sometimes he has to watch what he eats since certain kinds of exercise are no longer possible. ]

They are very mundane. Which, of course, doesn't work for most of us.
le_chevalier: (that aint right)

[personal profile] le_chevalier 2019-10-25 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes, exactly.

[ Dropping the card back down he offered a slight smile as the bell sounded. ]

It was a pleasure, Mr. Xavier.
axiomed: (I was on a downslide)

[personal profile] axiomed 2019-10-26 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ charles tilts his head politely. ]

Likewise.
