[MINGLE, ESPECIALLY TO NEWCOMERS] ROOFTOP FESTIVITIES!!!

WHO: All!
WHAT: Rooftop festivities!
WHERE: On a rooftop of an office building in the second open district!
WHEN: 8/14, evening!
WARNINGS: alcohol, tba as it goes


Banner displayed inside the train station, outside city hall, and on the most used residence buildings.

Follow the arrows.

So you're unaware. Maybe new. Or maybe you just didn't care the first time you saw it. That's fine. Between the banners hanging around key areas, and the flyers quickly drawn up in a similar fashion scattered across the city, it's hard not to know something is going on -- and there's helpful arrows, chalked on building walls and the streets the day of the party, to let people know where to go.

The Rooftop

A splendid scene awaits those who travel heavensward. Fairy lights connect the corners of the roof access building to metal poles at the corners of the building itself, lifted by cylindrical supports where needed, each one held straight by pots filled with well-packed dirty and stone. There's multicolored stars hanging from some of the lights, while various painted flowers hang on others, and what greets the ears first is some royalty free party music played from a CD player off the the side.

There's a long folded out table in the center for those who'd like to share cuisine, just set and serve yourself! Nearby is a space for Daan to do some bartending as well, a man who can make a multitude of cocktails and mocktails for those who want something less alcoholic. Also, pints of various ice cream flavors in a cooler!

Don't worry -- they won't have any odd effects on them, Don verified the lack of them herself. Not all of them are normal. Think loaded baked potato weird.

For those who'd like a quieter space, there's beanbags and a swirly, fuzzy carpet to sit on more away from the center of the party area. This'll be a great time to play some games, such as truth or dare, spin the bottle, and... whatever else you play at parties. Get to know your fellow man and such. Play the violin.

Naturally, no party... hosted... by Don Quixote would be without a space to fight, if one wishes to show off a little! It's also taking place on a swirly fuzzy carpet, just so no one smashes their head in, and there's a neat little banner hanging down from a string of lights that says thus:

WIN THREE MATCHES AND A PRIZE AWAITS THEE!!!!!!!
- NO KILLING
- HANDS ONLY


What the prize is, no one knows. But come find Don Quixote with your battle scars and she'll grant it -- and stick around a while, 'cause this party's gonna end with a bang... that is, with homemade fireworks donated by "a friend" through Junpei.

Anyway, have fun!!! Share words about your worlds!!! The society your characters are from, the cuisine they've brought, how they're working out in the city -- help the new kids along, too. There's more vets here now than there were a few months ago, after all.

Maybe it will be. I'd hope so, anyway, but... a lot of people would prioritize getting themselves out first.

[take advantage of others to do it, if they had to.]

[ yay, he'd just gotten a seal of approval from -- are those cat ears? oh wow, a seal of approval from a catgirl scholar. sure beats the catgirl he met during the reception of the musicians of bremen... ]

I see. Well, you're right about that. You studious types also deserve a treat from all that reading and ruminating, right?

[ like how angela deserves to have all the treats after everything she's been through... probably. ]

You still got other treats from your world here? Been taking bites and pieces from the others after they tried the hotpot-slash-barbecue I set up over there, but I wanna try something a little different.

[ hold on a hot second, he won't be too long before he comes back with a paper cup of water for the guy. ]

And is this Hythlodaeus in the room with us right now?

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Very close. [Another conspiratorial whisper as he takes the paper cup in hand] He may even be listening to our conversation.

( he did just scoop up a complete stranger, yes, one who freezes up immediately because she's 1. not used to being touched 2. does not like it and 3. is sincerely debating if her book should be used as a weapon. it can be. it's a pretty decent-sized book. it deserves better than being a weapon—

so, through gritted teeth, her knuckles white around her book, she speaks. )


Put me down.

Oh, you're not alone? Lovely. I love that for you. Let's go find them. Are they here?

[ Midnight begins to clumsily steer them. Where? Probably not in the correct direction, but there are so many people here that Midnight's depending on pure chaos theory to steer them in the right direction. And, well, they'll bump into someone eventually. A new person for both of them, possibly! Or someone only Midnight knows! Or someone they both know! Isn't that a lovely thought? Hey, Midnight likes people, if that's not obvious yet. ]

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they are. Most of us are new, but a couple of us were already here for, uh...

[how long again? he's sure they gave him a number, but man, he is beyond numbers right now. he's also beyond picking any other direction to steer in, letting himself be guided along easily enough-- most of his focus is on not tripping over his own feet.]

For a while. Y'know Roland or Gebura?

( art. just kidding.

mixology, after she's done talking with daan about bartending. maybe art, in genuine, but in secret. her possibilities are endless here, even if she does, a little, want to stay inside still. )


Who knows? ( maybe... writing? a nice, solitary activity. ) I'll figure it out. I have the time to now.

( ...yeah, plenty of time, here and back home. it's only here she has roland, though. )

[ She smirks back (not that he can tell). ]

Didn't you just say it was for your own good?

[ The largely unhelpful kiosks... That's interesting to hear, and he contemplates seeking out this Kromer next. For now, moving his bowl of ice cream to one palm, taking up a spoon with his other hand, Yesod gives Junpei's invitation a nod. ]

That is true. Do you have notes compiled thus far to share? I presume further relevant discoveries will be discussed as we gather new information.

[ — Ah. He done fucked up. He realizes it nigh immediately, as soon as he hears the tone in her voice, but it takes a moment for that mortification to make it through his tipsy idiot head. ]

Pardon me. Just a moment...

[ ... Uh, well, he's still drunk, so he's going to carry her a short way off, but in the end, it looks like he's just trying to find somewhere comfortable to put her down. Which ends up being a nearby beanbag... he deposits her very gently. ]

Excuse me. You seemed a bit lonely. I do hope I haven't brought you undue distress?

[ oooOOOOOOOOOH WELL THEN. Hope Don is agreeable to a good snuggle, because as soon as another warm body enters his vicinity, he's going to reach out blindly and pull whoever it is into his embrace. Unlike 99% of all vampire depictions, Terran vampires are warm blooded, and Midnight's been drinking, and he has an excellent metabolism. Sorry, Don, you've entered a furnace.

At least he smells all right under all that alcohol. Very normal. A guy who remembers to use soap and deodorant regularly. ]


Hello...

[ so she does. in more normal circumstances, he'd be happy for her. he'd help her out in trying some of them, even. it's what angela would normally deserve after everything she's been through.

but roland knew better. ]


Well, good luck. There ain't much to do here at the moment, unless you wanna pick up bowling?

"Savior of teeth"? Please. At least insult me, that would be better.

[He's shaking his head, but he's faintly amused.]

And what image would fit you? "Busybody"?

[ inch arresting. super different from what Reno knows of death rites in Gaia, or at least in the Midgar area. ] Kinda makes it sound like they're there for the goodbye.

It seems nice, though. Celebration instead of mourning.

[ Midnight was very passively enjoying their little meander, humming along to the offbrand generic party music, but the stranger says the magic words. The magic! Words!!!!

Midnight stops in their joint tracks, turns to look at his new best friend. ]


Mr. Roland and Miss Gebura? The librarians? The stars and moons up in the sky of my heart??

[ ... ]

Are you a librarian?

Just because other people enjoy them doesn't mean all do.

[He's leveling him with a pointed stare now, red eyes a little brighter.]

Same reason why alcohol exists. Or temptations exist. Selfish desire.

[personal profile] gradenine 2023-08-18 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, bowling. [ he grins. ] You roll a bowl on this aisle to knock down these pins. The more pins you take out, the more points you get.

[ simple enough, right? ]
astraphilia: (all you have is your fire)

[personal profile] astraphilia 2023-08-18 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Aha. [ hearing the word itself, "megacorp," certainly called to mind the kind of company that wielded power on the scale of a small nation—so Reno's not surprised to hear Emerick confirm it. ]

I know the type. [ not the same company, obviously, he doesn't even know what Japan is, but the concept. in fact, he knows it intimately.

in comparison to the carefully dispassionate way Emerick has talked about other things so far tonight, the tone of his voice when he mentions Arasaka is interesting. Reno lifts an eyebrow, curious. ]
Not a fan, I take it?
