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.

I'm not against a home-cooked meal.

[One made by a best friend who's no longer alive, specifically.]

[A smile draws across his lips. Sad but fond, despite everything.]

Anything Angeal made. He showed me care can be put into a meal.

[ huh. ]

I suppose that is special in itself.
sanephiroth: (pleased 2)

[He closes his eyes and makes a decision to share.]

I was always alone. When we first met, he made me a cup of cocoa.
axiomed: (Save them from the madness)

[ isn't that a pickup line? ]

Why were you alone?
sanephiroth: (what am I)

[They were too young for that. Probably. It's not a thing that ever impacted their lives that way. He narrows his eyes, scowling a little.]

I was raised by Shinra. My childhood was spent in the company headquarter and laboratory. [Bitter and a faint smile.] You could say I'm their pet SOLDIER.

[Different. Feared. Envied.]
axiomed: (One by one reel them in)

[ oh. charles winces in sympathy. ]

I'm sorry. I've — known people who have gone through that.
