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.

She looked away and suddenly look embarrassed. "I do but it isn't you that I remember seeing." It wasn't hard to explain but it was strange.

"I am sorry. If I worried you but I-"

Naminé glanced back up at him. "I think you should follow your heart too. If it ever speaks to you again. Even if you don't think so. Your heart... can't steer you wrong."

"What the heart wants isn't always enough." Sorry, Namine.

What she said about him is very curious however.

"Who did you see?"

Naminés lips press into a soft delicate frown. She didn't understand. She'd seen the power of someone's heart and it could do anything. She only wished that he believed it too. Maybe... maybe she can show him how powerful a heart can be.

"It was a man with long silver hair and dark eyes but... it'd been another's memories, not my own. So I don't know but he'd given his heart to the darkness."

If by powerful she means greed, ambition, and power, then yes... Yes, it is. The only real good that's remained around him were equally tainted by the dark, eventually corrupted and consumed by it. Zack, for all that the younger man tried, was not allowed close. Angeal's puppy may be the only thing pure in Shinra come to think of it.

"What makes you think I haven't?" He might as well be waist-deep in darkness most days. And it seems he gave in entirely shortly after entering a certain reactor. "Was it in Nibelheim?"

Naminé smiles softly. "I can feel it. I have... powers you could say. If you'll allow me, I can feel more but I know you haven't given your heart to the darkness." A great deal of what she feels is intuition but Naminé is sure that she's right. The man she saw in Sora's memories wouldn't even be talking to her like this.

"It's okay if you don't believe me now. One you might. That is, I hope you do." She looks up at him with hopeful crystal blue eyes. Naminé has seen a lot but she is relatively new to the world and it shows in all of her mannerisms.

If you'll allow me.

A part of him wants to take her up on it, to know. He shakes off the thought, his hair swaying along with. It's hard to look into those eyes, full of hope and good intentions.

"Your sentiments... are appreciated."

But he should probably change the subject.

"Is there something you'd like to watch?"

She smiled. "We can watch anything. I don't really know what kinds of shows they have but I know I'll enjoy it."

Naminé settled in and rested her head on a nearby pillow as she let her crystal blue eyes land on the screen. It was silly since they only just meet but she trusted Sephiroth to pick out a movie that was enjoyable.
