[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.

[ Hmmmm.... His own alcohol tastes have always trended towards the simple - a glass of whiskey at home, a mug of beer when he's out with friends - so it's with a good amount of thought (and a solid stare at the lineup of bottles on the table) that he finally settles on a whiskey sour, casually called out towards their hardworking bartender for the night. ]

Not a fan of strong flavors in general? Or does it only apply to drinks?

[ to be fair, it's a really dumb way of going about it. just don't say that to Dream, he'll get cranky. ]

You may stay or join in as you wish. I do not protest your company.

Neither is reliant upon the other, but I understand them to be more enjoyable together. Under most circumstances.

[ her eyes meet hers when she looks back again. it's like a watchful cat, quietly keeping an eye on something nearby while the tail flicks idly behind them, only this stranger remains in keeping still. ]

I do not.

[chew..... So it's neither? Girlie you are confusing and strange.]

I guess I just don't get why you want to call it a Library if it's not for doing the core library thing... You could call it Book Paradise or something, you know?

[or something good, unlike book paradise.]

[ Now he truly does speak as an observer of the highest order, and that draws a sincere curiosity. ]

...Have you ever danced?
hypnagothic: (15939245)

[personal profile] hypnagothic 2023-08-20 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not dance.

[ and it's said with a neutral tone, with no hint of some past pain or dreadful memory. a mere statement of fact. ]

[ Not the first time she's heard such a claim, but it hardly deters her. Her gaze flicks across his form, this time taking stock of him in a different scenario. ]

Are you afraid?

[personal profile] hypnagothic 2023-08-20 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his head tilts slightly at that, meeting her curiosity with his own. still looks like a skinny twig underneath that rather nice modern-looking coat, though. ]

What do you believe would frighten me?
matermali: (094)

[personal profile] matermali 2023-08-20 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't dare say. A man's fear is his own to claim.

[ But for most... ]

Some men would be afraid of appearing foolish should they lack grace.

[ Hob knows enough not to make him cranky, so long as he doesn't stick his foot in his mouth and blurt something out.

A nod and Hob takes a place near Dream's side, looking out over the crowd of people as they talk, dance, or play games. The younger people seem to amuse Hob, especially as they get flustered by the spinning bottle. ]


Have you found a comfortable place to stay?

[ The previous Dream didn't like it when Hob asked him that. Guess he didn't need a place after all. ]

[ there's the lightest of breaths that's released through his nose at that. the first sign of something other than stoicism or bland passivity. ]

That is not a concern of mine.

[ RHETORIC - Blast, he tricked you with clever wordplay you didn't pick up on.
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - It's the third one. He clearly has the build of a fighter, but not of a trained baseball player.
]

The baseball thing?

[ VISUAL CALCULUS - It was a properly executed 360-degree kick.
CONCEPTUALIZATION - Around the world.
]

Around the world. [ He spins his finger in a circle, smirking proudly. ] I knocked him off guard with a jab to the neck, then gave him the kick. He went down for the count.

[personal profile] matermali 2023-08-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No?

[ To her credit, she doesn't immediately leap onto the opportunity to drag out her teasing. She will allow him the grace of that particular denial, for now. ]

Then why no dancing?

[ AUTHORITY - If everyone agreed on what constituted "right and just", then we would have no need for The Law to exist. This is an inherent contradiction.
RHETORIC - And for the record, she means "men" in reference to human society as a whole. Not in the gendered sense.

(Meaning?)

RHETORIC - Don't tap into your penchant for *feminism* here. Unless you want to look like an idiot? In which case, go for it champ.
]

Ok, yeah, not all written rules are great. Some are though! And no, not everyone agrees on what's right and just. We wouldn't even have laws if everyone just agreed that, I don't know, murder is wrong?

[ PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - This guy really doesn't *get it*. Such a pathetic specimen of a man. You can crush him easily. Lay it out for him, champ. ]

I'm testing your *manhood*.

Ding ding ding.

[Winner, winner, alas no chicken dinner, because Shinjiro didn't bring any to the potluck. Shame on him.]

Did know a guy who did, though. We lived in the same dorm for a little while.

[Technically after he dropped out, actually, but to explain that he'd need to get into the cosmic horrors they were fighting every night and why he left the first time, and that's entirely too much to put on a stranger for a silly party game.]

Your turn.

[personal profile] hypnagothic 2023-08-20 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it a requirement that I do so?

[ ... at least he doesn't seem pissed off by the question this time? ]
hypnagothic: (16134261)

[personal profile] hypnagothic 2023-08-20 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I do not. It is not in my nature to join.

[ Is this what it's like for people who try getting answers out of her? Touché. She perks a brow. ]

Have you ever been invited to join?
petsthedog: (pic#12818064)

out of curiosity is he speaking out loud or are the words like, appearing on his helmet

[personal profile] petsthedog 2023-08-20 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I ain't. Her name's Aigis.

[This guy seems real excited about robots, so after a moment of hesitation, he decides to offer some more crumbs. It's easier than talking about himself, anyway.]

She was made to fight these things called Shadows that came out at midnight, and she'd go to school like a regular person during the day. Only knew her a few weeks, though, so that's about all I know.
coolerjunpei: (haha ok)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2023-08-20 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmm! Sounds good; Junpei presents his fist for a fist bump. C'mon, old man.]

Cool. Spin-kick knucks.

[Give him the Knucks.]

That story's a lot better outside of the game, though, for future reference.

[ frustrating, isn't it? but she'll at least get the sense that he's not doing it on purpose or to be ornery. ]

I have.

[....Don't ask why again--]

With a thumb wrestle? [Maybe it will make this guy feel better?? Tenma holds out his hand.] Am I going to get my lunch money stolen if I lose?

cw mention of suicide

[ CONCEPTUALIZATION - Oh, this will be easy. You have plenty of things to draw inspiration from, true and fictional.
INLAND EMPIRE - Much of your life can hold a candle to the biggest, most awful, most tragic tales to ever be inked on paper.
DRAMA - Go ahead, sire! As the kids say: fuck him up.

I've tried to kill myself more times than I remember, I'm a union man working in manual labor before I came here, and I was afflicted with childhood polio.
