[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.

Racking up points is always fun no matter how you slice it. Especially when you play with a whole buncha people.

[ ...hm. ]

We could bring the other guys along. [ the librarians... ]

( netzach, gebura, yesod, roland, and angela. bowling. )

None of them would go for it. ( she'd kind of pay to see roland convince them though ngl ) If you can get them to agree to hanging out like old friends, shooting the shit, then sure. But—

( ... )

They'd probably be happier if I didn't come play.

[ ye, imagine... ]

You sure? I managed to get Gebura join me for one game. Netzach's good with whatever. Yesod...

[ ... ]

Well, it'd still be fun. And it's about time you guys get along, now that you're human and all.

[ he smiles, but it doesn't quite meet the corner of his eyes. no, he's watching her like a hawk, all this time. ]

( angela hesitates, her lips pressed in a tight, thin line.

it still feels wrong, interacting with them when she knows what's become of them. it still feels horrible, speaking with roland when she knows how he really feels. how she thinks he really feels. )


...You could probably convince Yesod, ( is what she says instead, shaking her head. ) But cut your losses with me, Roland.

( a sharp glance at him. )

You'd prefer that I'm not there either, I'm sure.

[ he laughs. the audacity. ] Nah, I wouldn't say that.

[ he does want her there! it'd be easier to ■■■■ her that way, along with everyone else -- ]

But let's take a raincheck on that for now. Gotta have you and the others acclimated here in the meantime. [ he takes a mushroom and pops it into his mouth. ] Got any more questions for me?

[ choose carefully. ]

Roland, you...

( ...no, he's right, and she shakes off the resentment that rises up as she picks a few more things off the grill for her platter. )

Yes. Where are you staying? I'd like to know each of your whereabouts just in case. ( she'll be asking the other librarians where they're settling too in due time don't worry. ) I'd like your username also, for easy contacting. I just went with "librarian". It seemed simplest. Use it to let me know when we're going bowling. And...

( angela pushes he food around, her third question on the tip of her tongue until she exchanges it for something else. )

Have you been enjoying the party? I'm sure Don Quixote would love to know, if you have. She seems to be someone who thrives off of praise.

[ she's firing questions left to right, and none of them are implicating enough. roland tries to meet her eyes, tries to see what she's going to get from asking all that -- and fails. damn this faceblindness. ]

I'll give ya a map where I'm staying. Got no roommates so far. My username on the network is keter. Nothing special, I just think I wanna match the others.

[ Does He Know ]

As for the party... [ give him a moment to pop another piece of meat into his mouth ] I think it's okay. Definitely a lot better than that one party this City held for us a while back. Guess it only needed a human touch, even if the organizer came from our shithole of a City.

( well. at least they are all easy to get ahold of. )

It is difficult for something non-human to truly understand what people need. ( sorry, that was a little bitter. her mouth twists. ) ...You didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry.

[ he narrows his eyes at her. girl what the hell are you on. ]

You said that, not me. [ shrug. ] But you shouldn't overthink about that either. You just got here and all, and there's a lot to process. For now, just enjoy what Don and the others have to offer, and worry about the rest tomorrow.
