sheets all on the floor just like an ocean ...

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.

"The infinity stones are stones of power from my world. I got my powers from one of them." It wasn't something she usually shared with someone upon first meeting them but she had a feeling that Zack understood.

"Sorry. That was a little heavy. Should I ask what your favorite ice cream is?"

Oh, cool. Zack smiles and reaches into his pocket, bringing out a glowing green orb.

"Stones of power like this? This is a materia. This one in particular is ice, it lets me cast ice-based spells. I get magic powers from it."

Don't worry, he doesn't get that the powers she got was from torture. Just figures it's something like his form of magic.

"And chocolate, all the way."
minus1twin: (I don't know)

Wanda reached forward but didn't touch the green orb. Instead there was a red spark from the tips of her fingers that gathered into a mist. It was this mist that curled around the glowing green ball of energy.

"Yes. Similar to that." Though the infinity stones are much stronger.

She smiled briefly and lowered her hand, the red mist dissipating. "I like chocolate with peanutbutter."

Chocolate with peanut butter? Zack's left staring at her in shock. Almost more so than with the display of magic.

"Okay, we'll come back to the red in a moment. Promise. But why would you put chocolate and peanut butter together? That seems wrong."
minus1twin: (Still young)

Wanda laughed softly. "You should try it before you make a face at it. It's called Reese's in the states. I tried something called a Fastbreak that was peanut butter and chocolate. It's very good."

It was hard to describe the taste though.

"What, you going to buy one for me? Seeing as I'm new and don't know my way around?"

Is he teasing? Yeah. It's fun and she's charming in her own way.
minus1twin: (Not laughing... yet.)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2019-11-08 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanda laughed and shook her head. "I suppose I can. Do you want to right now? I think our ten minutes is almost up."

He was amusing and Wanda didn't mind buying him a Reese's cup or whatever chocolate peanut butter combination they find.

"Yeah!"

Zack grins and gets to his feet. And then frowns at his slippers. They're going to get hurt.

"I need to change. Meet you outside in fifteen?"
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2019-11-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure."

Wanda rose to her feet and headed outside. She didn't have to do anything as far as changing so she looked around and tried to see if there was a convent store close by that might sell candy or ice cream.

If they were lucky they might found a reece ice cream bar.
