what the heck is the friend zone? what's a poppkern?

This world is a collection of digital Zones. There are so many Zones that you can find!
Each and every Zone is inhabited by population kernels, also known as Poppkerns!

Poppkerns come in all shapes and sizes, and their interests and likes are just as varied as yours and mine -- but Popps can travel between Zones, and we can't!

The only Zone us Readers can access is this one: the Friend Zone, a central hubworld where lots of Popps congregate together to meet up, trading everything from stories to goodies.

Every once in a while, a Poppkern will grow just as curious about analog Earth as we are about the digital Zones!
That's where you come in. Take the opportunity to raise up a friendly Popp and see what sort of knowledge you can trade, and what sort of ways you can influence its growth!

Let's learn about the Friend Zone ... Together!!
