[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.

[ That sure is a man on the floor, lanky body draped in such a way as to be of the greatest impediment to everyone trying to pass by. Welt, not in the habit of leaving potential safety hazards to human life stay where they are, decides that he should probably do something about this poor man casually passed out on the floor.

First: the nice, noninvasive attempt at rousing this man from his impromptu floor nap (comfy, but not recommended at parties). He crouches down, gently shakes one shoulder, and says with his voice pitched louder than usual: ]


Pardon me, sir, but are you alright?

[ Wakey wakey, Netzach. ]

M'fine...

[shaking him does accomplish something, at least. it gets him to yawn and stretch a bit, shifting in a way that... kind of sort of makes him a bit less in the way. a bit. there is still much to be desired, here.]

I'm not asleep, promise...

[ Good news: he isn't dead. Bad news: this is still terrible progress. The harassment will continue until bodily positions are moved. ]

Wouldn't you prefer resting somewhere more comfortable?

[ Like a bean bag. That free chair over there. Even on top of the makeshift bar if all else fails. Anywhere but the floor, he is begging here. ]
abstractart: (Default)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-16 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that uncomfortable... thanks, though.

[said with all the drunken ease of a man who is entirely too used to sleeping on floors to begin with...]
indwelt: (007)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-16 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Netzach?? Why is this backfiring on him though, time for plan B: put on his mildly affronted teacher voice and list out all the reasons why sleeping on the floor is a Bad Idea. ]

It could be uncomfortable for anyone trying to navigate across the rooftop. Why not take a nap over on one of those beanbag chairs over there? That way you won't be disturbed [ by concerned citizens like him ] and you won't be disturbing anyone else in the process.

Oh... am I?

[he blinks, as if just now realizing this is a potential reason to have bothered him... but mostly he just looks confused. this guy is being so polite about it? his coworkers would have just moved him out of the way, or kicked him awake, depending on which of them it was.

okay. okay, give him a second while he tries to pull himself to his feet-

he manages to get as far as sitting up.]

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-16 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .........................

Well, you know, this is progress. Better than nothing. He'll take it. ]


Would you like a hand?
abstractart: (jqfmqBM)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-17 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah, might help.

[there's no drunken bluster here-- he's too lazy by default for that, he's not about to insist he can manage it on his own. please rescue him.]
indwelt: (007)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-20 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, finally a chance to play the hero....too bad the setting is a rooftop party in an abandoned city and his damsel in distress is a guy lounging on the floor. Beggars can't be choosers though.

UP WE GO THEN. He grabs a hold of Netzach's hand, puts everything he's got into his legs, and hoists the two of them up. Hopefully no one's spilled their drink nearby in the last minute or they are both going straight back onto the ground. ]
abstractart: (jqfmqBM)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-20 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[look, everyday heroics are important too... welt you are saving so many people from tripping over him and breaking something. it's a public service.]

Whoa-

[UP HE GOES-- balance is a lost cause, at this point in the night, and so he's just more or less clinging to welt rather than even attempting to stand under his own power. that's just not happening.]

Man, everything needs to stop moving so much...

[ NETZACH HOW MUCH DID YOU HAVE TO DRINK

This is fine. Everything is fine. There is a grown man hanging off him woozily mumbling to himself about how the world is undulating around him. It's only 80 years of practice that keep Welt from making a disgruntled face in public. Also, his train children regularly go digging through the trash, this truly is nothing.

Although: ]


Do you feel nauseous at all?

[ Please do not make this worse by puking on him. ]
abstractart: (jqfmqBM)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-21 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm fine...

[luckily for welt, netzach is not that kind of drunk. he has no balance at the moment, but he doesn't look ill or dizzy; he's just Feeling It.]
indwelt: (025)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-21 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Thanks for being a bro and not puking on him. ]

Steady, then.

[ While he drapes one arm over his shoulders and attempts to maneuver them both towards the bean bag chair corner. ]

Do you do this frequently at parties?
abstractart: (6d6KTC1)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-21 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know...? This is the first party I've been to in... a while.

[welt is his lifeline now. he isn't resting his entire weight on him, but he's absolutely relying on him for stability as they make their way toward the beanbags... at least he's surprisingly light.]
indwelt: (045)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-21 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Why does this feel so familiar....is it just his duty to be shuffled into intergalatic babysitting no matter where he goes? ]

Did you come here with anyone?

[ Is there a ready and willing adult he can pawn this guy off of to ensure he gets home safely? ]
abstractart: (DQvomit)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't come with 'em, but some of my coworkers are here...

[he is

squinting out across the party to try to identify them. it's not going great.]
indwelt: (063)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-21 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is really not going great. How much patience does he have for Netzach's squinting? Apparently five whole seconds of it. ]

Do you remember what they look like?
abstractart: (6d6KTC1)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-21 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... a dark haired guy in a black suit... a guy with the same uniform as mine, but in purple... I don't remember what Gebura's wearing, but she has red hair?

[and angela but he doesn't want to be handed to angela

also the suit is not even what roland is fucking wearing. he's just used to it.]

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-21 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ THERE IS NO BLACK-HAIRED GUY IN A BLACK SUIT HERE, HELP HIM. ]

Red hair.

[ Can't believe this is all he has to work with. Maybe they'll stick to bean bag corner for now. ]

How about you take a seat [ on these nice comfy bean bags they're slowly angling their way towards ] and I'll go look for them?

[ He will not find them because hOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!! ]
abstractart: (Default)

[personal profile] abstractart 2023-08-21 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah, okay. They'll probably come by eventually anyway.

[they know what netzach is like. when they need to find him later they will be looking at the floor.]
indwelt: (050)

[personal profile] indwelt 2023-08-21 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ help me, not on the floor

But by some miracle and a lot of wiggling through the crowd, they've made it towards an unoccupied bean bag. Hurrah! ]


Alright, down you go—

[ Hopefully going down is easier that getting up.... ]
