[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.

[ Fear not she's happy to interject with this chatty duo. ]

It's perfectly reasonable for more cold-blooded rules to be discarded without everything collapsing into anarchy. I simply refuse to believe everyone is out get each other if given a chance to behave otherwise.

[ 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?

[ She might sing another tune after remembering more about life. Good chances for that actually. Until then, though, Lenore squints a little and plays the middle ground. Probably not prepared at all for this lesson she's gonna get in a few ]

Most murder is wrong. There are exceptions, naturally. Like self-defence. But you really don't need any written laws to know that because it's common sense.

[ VOLITION - It is common sense. However, we do not live in a word governed by common sense. People are not perfect decision makers.
VISUAL CALCULUS - You are not a robot, running on computation and programming.
INLAND EMPIRE - You have a vast, vast soul...
]

And yet people are always being killed, and almost always unjustly. People don't always listen to common sense, neither when told by a person nor told by their soul.

[ She falls quiet as she listens to both points. Lenore doesn't consider herself much of a philosopher nor much of a thinker at all; she leans into her emotions too much for that. She wears concern and anger on others' behalf on her sleeve as she glances between them both with a pinched expression.

It's sad to think that assumedly across three separate places there's so much injustice. ]


That... is true. There are people who will do as they like with a total disregard for the well-being of other people. But that's the kind of person who will do so regardless of if they have a soul or morality or anything at all.

[ CONCEPTUALIZATION [failure] - This is... going over your head a bit. You have a very limited concept of what 'justice' can mean. A side effect of having cop-brain no doubt.
AUTHORITY - It means obedience to the law! What more is there to grasp? Set these girls right!
RHETORIC - You know what I think? I think you need to get *political*. Tell them the logical end of this line of thought.

Y'know what a personal sense of justice against authority leads to? Revolution! Streets running with blood! Bodies upon bodies in mass graves! Shelling and death from above!

But from the ashes... a new world. Maybe one better.
