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.

[ oh! well, that makes sense. roland gulps whatever he's chewing. ]

Well, I live nearby. Here--

[ just going to scoot closer to yesod with his phone out, showing him the map. it's a few blocks away, on an attic floor. ]

You got a roommate yet? Unless you're one of those guys who don't need one. I understand.

[wordchain]

[ Thank you for not talking with your mouth full, Roland. Studying the map on Roland's phone, Yesod commits the location indicated to memory. ]

I do not.

[ To confirm that he doesn't have a roommate, and that it isn't necessary in his case. ]

That said, in light of our discussion, it would be beneficial to stay in the same area. If you and Netzach will share one space, while Gebura and Angela share another, these are logical arrangements.

[ He raises one hand, pointing at the map. ]

I intend to find an unoccupied apartment located an equal distance from yours and Gebura's.

[gradenine]

[ okay, that's a very fair arrangement. nothing too different from how they're all positioned in the library either.

except - ]

...You sure you don't want a roommate? I think three's already a crowd in my place, but someone would be interested if you put yourself out there some more.

[wordchain]

[ First Angela, now Roland? Whether he wants a roommate isn't a thought that he has contemplated, but he examines it now. No, it doesn't change anything already established, and inviting a stranger to share a living space with him, simply as a precaution, would create unnecessarily complicated situations, he thinks. Including people most likely coming to the conclusion that there is something that makes him an undesirable roommate, which might indeed be the case according to some. ]

Even if you had the space for another person, I would not expect you or Netzach to give up your freedom for my sake. I suppose, if more of our number arrive, it would be a topic to revisit then.
