[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.

I'm more used to standing than sitting, even nowadays.

[ When one has a nice couch and can get in... closed-eye meditation. ]

Was this too soft for you?

[ Regarding the beanbag she is still somehow holding, though she'll drop it on the floor in a second. ]

( it feels embarrassing to admit to someone in her employ, but: )

It was... more difficult to sit upright in than expected. ( because it's not meant for that, it's meant for sinking into but she doesn't Like That. ) It got in the way of my reading, and I started feeling tired.

( it was so comfy honestly. so yes it was too soft. )
bemist: (I'm trouble)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-16 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
... Well, that's usually the purpose of something like that. Kind of like the cross between a chair and a bed.

[ She shrugs. ]

You could probably find a spot up here where you could at least put your back up against the wall if you still want to read.

[ It's fine, Angela. It's not like you're actually paying her. ]

It's fine. I was just taking a short break from...

( she gazes at the crowd, vibrant, lively, loud. she's tired, but she's... happy? is that it? it's not exactly like the other times she's been happy, but she isn't upset about it. she isn't apathetic, either. angela starts again after a moment. )

...Everyone's so energetic. ( not everyone everyone, but enough people. ) I suppose the hostess' energy must have rubbed off on them.
bemist: (You tried to take me)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-17 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Don? Yeah, she's like Malkuth, only louder and way more reckless.

[ With the sigh of someone who has witnessed firsthand just how reckless, in order to be able to state that with confidence. ]

It's probably going to feel overwhelming for a while. You've witnessed people and you've interacted with them, but never this many at once, right? At least not in this kind of scenario.

[personal profile] worldexecute 2023-08-17 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
( a louder, more reckless malkuth... inquisitive as a child... but a good sport. )

Never myself, no. ( the librarians take care of the receptions, after all. she greets them, but never this many— well, only once something significant, but what comes on the heel of that memory still stings, so she shoves it down. ) I'll be fine.

( not that she thinks gebura's concerned about her—she doesn't think any of them particularly are. no, stop, none of them... )

Let me ask you an odd question. ( glancing up at her, pointedly. ) What were you doing prior to your arrival here, Gebura?
bemist: (I'm trouble)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-17 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that odd.

[ Given she'd asked Netzach the same question, or at least along the same lines. You only started to realize something was off when people started talking about being from different points in time. ]

I was receiving a guest. Or a bunch of them, kinda, who pretty much invited themselves.

( that sounds like— )

The Ensemble?
bemist: (You better run and hide)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-19 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I wasn't exactly thrilled to have that happen and then to wake up on a train like it was no big deal to be taken away so suddenly.

[ Rather, it had been a pain and a half. ]
worldexecute: (11)

[personal profile] worldexecute 2023-08-20 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
( ah. )

...That's not so far from what I last remember--you all dealing with those intruders. ( technically not untrue. ) But they were all taken care of, and none of the librarians went missing.

( angela rests her chin on her hand, thinking. maybe this place is more alike to the WARP trains than she thought...? duplicating people and leaving one out in the world, bringing the original here... )

A shame this city isn't half as easy to investigate as ours. ( no one to book. ) I'd like to understand how that works.
bemist: (But I knew all along)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-21 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We just haven't learned its unspoken rules yet. Though they sure as hell will find some way to punish you for breaking them without bothering to tell you what they were.

[ Very unfair to have two asshole cities she's had to deal with now. ]

Good to know we dealt with those guys without issue, at least. Though that's not too surprising.

Yes, you're all very well-trained.

( her very strong security force. that means her and gebura are the closest in terms of memory, at least as far as she's found from her librarians... ordinarily she'd tell roland to tidy up and prepare for a new roommate, but...

...

she grips her book and shifts topics slightly. )


Gebura, are you staying with anyone at the moment?
bemist: (You better run and hide)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-23 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well. She can already see where this is going and rather than answer that directly and make Angela figure out how to word the question or have to be blunt about it, she'll take control from here. ]

No. Yes, I have room. Yes, you can stay with me.

[personal profile] worldexecute 2023-08-23 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
( oh thank the fucking wings she hadn't had to navigate that conversation for long. she at least tries not to look Too relieved, but her shoulders relax slightly. )

Your offer is appreciated. I'll take you up on it.

( ...she was a little worried she'd be rejected, so it's nice gebura took over. )
bemist: (No opiates to send me into outer space)

[personal profile] bemist 2023-08-23 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's not like she has a vendetta against Angela (at this point). Her lips twitch slightly as soon as she notices her shoulders relax, but then she glances away in what is possibly a show of mercy. ]

Then I'll take you to my place after this wraps up. But don't get drunk; I'm not carrying you back.

( friendship ended with roland now gebura is her favorite (ex-)fixer )

Please. I'm not interested in drinking. ( maybe only a little but she will be watched over by mr. welt yang it'll be okay ) You'll probably find me right here, still reading.

( you know..... like people do at parties. not engaging in conversation. yeah. )
