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.

[Not laughing is good because he'd have gotten a lot pricklier. He still looks sour though as he moves to sit down.

...

And shift to pull the tail from under him. Ugh, why did he let himself get dared into this.]


My luck's fine. You caught me off guard.

[That's the reason, yup. He's not going to worry about his stats dropping.]

Yeah, I can't throw worth a damn, so it's really not. And why in Hyne's horrid name are you a Moomba?

[Not that he expected Squall to go the Balamb Cadet pajamas route either.]

[He's trying not to worry about his luck, Nida!]

So you got lucky. [He's looking... huffier as he reaches for the small TV's remote to fiddle with the channels, just for the sake of having something to do.]

... Seifer was there when we were looking at the clothes.

[Please let that be explanation enough. He's feeling dumber about it. How do these things happen when he's around Seifer?]

My luck stat is abysmal, so I doubt that.

[Nida wasn't too invested in the television anyway so he lets Squall fiddle.]

You let my bro con you into that? Terrible life choices.

. . .

[well shit. Guess his luck dropped somehow.]

He's in the chocobo one.

[He sounds smug because at least Seifer is suffering with him this time.]

[Oh that is hilarious. Nida chuckles and shakes his head at the image of it.]

What, they didn't have a cactaur for how prickly he can be?

[Squall blinks, surprise turning into a glint of amusement in his eyes.]

I'll dare him into that next time.

[Can't be that hard, right? Seifer does it to him all the time.]

You really should. And then we can get him to pose and take pictures of it.

[It would be impossible, wouldn't it?]

[Possibly yes. He huffs, amused with a hint of a smile. This makes him feel better even if they don't make it happen.]

I'll do it.

[He blinks at the screen when he comes across the selection of video games. Games? On a TV? What?]

Of course, then he might do the same to you. Which would only be fair.

[Still, Nida's amused at the idea of the competition this could spark off between them.]
