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.

angela

[worldexecute]

( she isn't actually participating, she's just close enough to it to be mistaken for participating........ (please) )

[astraphilia]

[ the distance between her and the game is juuust ambiguous that Reno decides he can reasonably stick out his purple drink umbrella (...where'd he get that? don't worry about it!) like a microphone and say, ] Truth or dare?

[worldexecute]

( this is the worst microphone ever, and she's literally never had one stuck in her face. the number of things she's had stuck in her face is actually incredibly small, but very recent, and she jerks back slightly. just a bit. just. tiny bit.

she levels a sour look at him and— well, that girl probably won't let people skip out on answering one way or another... and angela is not in the mood to see why vinegar is the punishment so quickly, so after another moment of cold silence: )

Dare.

( literally what is the worst that could happen. )

[astraphilia]

[ his options are limited ok they're working with what's available

the frosty glare doesn't bother Reno at all, but truth is he hadn't already thought of a dare. he doesn't want to pick something dangerous, or something truly embarrassing—not trying to make enemies right off the bat—so what he eventually settles on is, ]

I dare you to... [ he glances around, finds a napkin and a pen left over from (presumably) decorating the signs, and grabs both ] draw a dog with your eyes closed and then present your art to the group.

[ is it silly? yes. is it also relatively harmless? also yes. will it guarantee Reno some mild entertainment? yes in triplicate—thus, an ideal dare. ]

anyone who wants to comment... cmere... theres a dog c:

[worldexecute]

( wow... public humiliation right out the gate. angela quietly takes both items from him, pursing her lips, and then sighs. )

Very well.

( she closes her eyes and gets to work... decided she gets the obnoxious green pen for this.



......................................

she is so disappointed and yet this is not that terrible. it's a little cute, even. okay. how is she supposed to present it? to everyone?? ...

it isn't as if the snapping sound Does anything anymore, but it is very loud, so she snaps her fingers and holds her picture up. her gaze Dares anyone to laugh or make some sort of snide comment at it. )

I drew a dog.

NOT HERE

[gradenine]

[ but whaddahell.... that is cute. roland ofc can't participate but wtf her moe arc. maybe netzach can teach her a thing or two about that. ]

[worldexecute]

( die anyway )

[gradenine]

qualified art critic as requested

[coolerjunpei]

[Who knows, maybe Junpei just hears a finger snapping sound and is immediately drawn to the source.... like Kromer whistling but less(???) threatening...

Anyway, oh,] Huh. Yeah, that's a dog, alright.

[What else.... he gives her a double thumbs up. Yeah dog!!]

so kind 10/10

[worldexecute]

( wow......... thanks. well. her face softens a little once it becomes obvious he isn't making fun of her or anything, but just a little. )

Thank you.

[coolerjunpei]

[Don't look at him like that, he busted out the double thumbs up from the goodness of his heart??]

Really, it's pretty good! Whyyy are you drawing dogs, though?

[abstractart]

It's a good color.

[of course you'd say that you green fucking librarian.]

[worldexecute]

( of course you'd say that you green fucking librarian. )

As enjoyable as this was, I'm going to leave the matter of Arts to you.

[abstractart]

You sure? It's not bad.

[it's called art therapy angela

he doesn't know that, but look.]

[icanfixer]

[ by the wiiiiing.....!!!! ]

What is their name?

[ and

she seems very earnest about this question!!! ]

[worldexecute]

( um. )

It doesn't have one. ( ... ) Ppodae.

[icanfixer]

Ppodae! How adorable... Heehee. I should like to see thee draw without a handicap, if thou'rt this good with thine eyes closed! I adore how they are so round and friendly looking.

[ she misses animals. ]

What is their story? Have they a family? Are they, perhaps, ready to find their forever home...?!

[wordchain]

[ Maybe they're conditioned to react to the finger snap by now, and Yesod glances in Angela's direction as well to witness her art moment. It's... a depiction of an ordinary (albeit green) dog? He's staring at the drawing for a while all the same.

Angela seems to be having fun meeting people here. ]

[worldexecute]

( she wouldn't admit it to 99% of people, but

he's right. she is having fun, actually. )

[wordchain]

[ Ppodae..... art therapy is real... ]

the peanut gallery is so delightful

[astraphilia]

[ it is indeed a shockingly good dog for having been drawn with eyes closed, and Reno is suitably impressed, offering her a little round of golf-clap applause as she lifts the painting up to display it. he then also finds himself surprised by the number of heads that immediately turn at the sound of that snap—and, like, it was a good snap, but damn, she really has some of these people trained, huh?

anyway, filing that information away... ] Now that's a real cute dog. [ he sounds completely sincere about that, despite the grin tugging at a corner of his mouth. ] You're not gonna sign it?

[ she should put it up on the fridge :3 ]

Your turn, if you wanna get even.

the real mvps

[worldexecute]

( don't patronize her-- )

Truth or dare.

( she will consider putting her name on it but first: revenge. )

[astraphilia]

[ little did she know Reno is 100% taking it home with him to make a fridge gallery full of dogs he dared people to draw at this party.

even before he asked, Reno already knew what he was going to pick—there's still a certain reluctance to be too honest, even though there's almost nobody in this whole godforsaken city he knows. thus, without hesitation: ] Dare.

[ hit him with your best shot, Angela! ]

[nomoresharks]

[If anyone is pinged by the sound of a snap, it's Hythlodaeus.]

And an excellent dog it is! Though... why green, if I may ask?

[worldexecute]

It just happened to be the pen color I was offered.

( don quixote's multicolor flyers....... )

I would've preferred something darker, but it's fine.
