[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.

If I may... I'm not dismissing what you yourself have gone through, but don't you think it's a little unfair to paint an entirely different world with the same brush as those who have wronged you?

They deserved what was coming to them. That's all I can say.

[ That's a curious thought, but she supposes it makes perfect sense. Memories long forgotten may drive Vanessa at times, loathe as she is to admit. ]

Ah, but how would they know if they were?

I don't recommend it without the proper protection, but it does make for quite the story, doesn't it?

But yes, I can indeed still see them here. Just not from as great a distance as I could back home. Quite useful when trying to find someone, I must say.

[Or trying to avoid them. And all the more amusing trying to do either with a grumpy friend equally capable of seeing your own soul.]

[He holds out his hand and reaches into the well of aether within his body. It condenses little by little, until an arrow bursts into being in his hand.]

A little slower than I'd like, but 'tis still significant progress Mayhap an alteration of its weave to use less aether would be a good idea as well.

[He loses himself in thought for a moment, but then quickly shakes shakes his head and dismisses the arrow, dissolving it into thousands of motes of light.

Those sorts of thoughts are for when he's not at a party.]

[ Aw... Well, Midnight's pretty chill with his feelings going unrequited anyway. Also, she seems a tiny bit baby, although that speaks more to her personality than anything else. Like, cute enough to eat? Nom nom nom, and so on. (That he can make that literal does not escape him, which is why he thinks so deeply about the difference in the first place.)

He sits properly, notes that he's still got his coat on, and removes it, grimacing. He is sweating under it at the moment. Alcohol. ]


Sounds a bit like anticipation to me. Waiting for something you've been excited for, but with enough emotion to affect one's nerves. You do seem quite relaxed, which speaks well to your drinking experience. Do you happen to remember the name of your drink?

Then I'll come check on you later.

[ And perhaps take note of any company Dream keeps. ]

[ rue the day that Reno's inability to meet dress code counts as being more properly dressed than anybody—but shirtsleeves are shirtsleeves regardless of whether his shirt is tucked in?

either way, while Reno certainly notices her approach, he doesn't turn to look at her until she speaks—plausible deniability in case she wasn't going to talk to him at all. his eyebrows lift a little, but his grins is easy. ]


Guess I'm gonna have to finish one of these with a quickness, then. [ the drink is easier to knock back—he's mostly done with it anyway. the cigarette, he pinches out between fingers wet with the condensation from his glass and then tucks back into the pack it came from for later. old habits. ] I gotta warn ya though, I ain't fancy.

Oh. That is progress.

Well, if the brick wall has the wherewithal to consider the proposition, I might consider it. It comes down to personality at that point.

Nah, not me.

[ another pause. ostensibly it's for his cigarette, but really Reno is weighing his options when it comes to how much he gives away.

he's getting the distinct and somewhat relieving impression that most people here have never even heard of ShinRa or the Turks and therefore won't put together the likelihood of Reno's own complicity in their war crimes, but the part of him that's been drilled and drilled again never to give away company secrets is fairly hard to overcome.

what he ends up with is, ]
Used to work for a guy who was, though. Sometimes I'd see bits of the process.

[ that feels like a good middle ground between prevaricating and admitting to what ShinRa keeps in the basement labs. ]

They may not be conscious of any change in themselves. It could be as if they were inspired by a random thought or simply changed their mind on some subject.

I'm not drunk enough to start throwing punches. [it's the alcohol to self-preservation inverted ratio, you see,] Should I start taking bets? You're gonna knock 'em flat, right?

Honestly? Probably My Collection, but that's not as catchy. [as book paradise, specifically.]

Maybe something like, uh... The Archive? That's more I-keep-these-because-they're-mine than a library, if that's what you're going for.
