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.

( He'd fit right in with the idealists who followed Carmen to their deaths. Angela's lips press together tightly. )

Yes, yes. You types always think that way, but putting it into practice... ( a curt sigh. ) Not to mention the sacrifices you have to make for that to happen. Any suffering can be justified as "necessary" if you think it'll be alright in the end.

( ...she's a hypocrite about this too, but whatever. )

[nomoresharks]

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?

[Even as his thoughts drift to a conversation from before, about the Convocation and their capacity for the unthinkable]

[worldexecute]

...You're right. My apologies.

( but that's just how it is, too. what lengths will a group go to achieve paradise? how many lives will be lost? how many turns will it take? angela presses back the questions, mouth thin. )

You know best your world and those working towards the betterment of it. ( ... ) How are you ensuring that no one suffers?

[nomoresharks]

[Many would highlight the rules surrounding how one should best present himself, or the prevalence of debate in defusing tension and solving problems between one another. But for Hythlodaeus, there is only one response.]

The Convocation of Fourteen stand as paragons of our society, each of them an expert in their fields, capable not only of acting as guide in unsteady times, but bringing our understanding of the world--and even the arts themselves--to new heights.

[He quirks a small smile]

While I believe each of them to be remarkable in their own right, I believe the one most relevant to your question to be Azem, the Traveller. The holder of this seat is tasked with traveling the star and knowing its people, that they are able to bring their concerns to the Convocation and act as their voice.

[worldexecute]

( azem, the traveller. certainly actually going out among the people would ensure some level of actually helping out, rather than a group of people sitting high above, making decisions. one point in azem's favor, but: )

And while this Azem travels, what does the Convocation do?

[nomoresharks]

Generally, they act as specialists in their field, offering advice to those who seek it or stepping in when a situation arises in which their input would be most valuable.

For instance, you've Loghrif and Mitron, specialists in terrestrial life and aquatic life respectively; Lahabrea, specialist of creation magicks--phantomology in particular; Emmeroloth in medicine; Altima, advocate of the arts; Emet-Selch, keeper of the Underworld... and so on and so forth.

Azem and Elidibus are the two outliers. Azem I've just explained, but Elidibus--the Emissary's--role is to provide impartial judgment and act as mediator between two parties, especially in matters where members of the Convocation have come to a disagreement.
