[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.

[ yeah, that's definitely why hyth stuck out like a sore thumb. don't really meet a lot of guys that tall like, ever...

and now he's babbling like a drunk. roland doesn't mind; the guy seems like he's never gone out to mingles like this before, much like his fellow librarians. ]


Yeah, yeah. Come on. put your arm 'round my shoulder, big guy.

[ just lean on him and we'll get ya where you wanna go! which is towards the chairs gathered near the railings, ye. ]

Right. As they say:

[He swings his arm over Roland's shoulder as instructed, and holds up a finger with a serious expression.]

four legs are better than two.

[He pauses to let this dramatic, very wise statement sink in, then snickers and adds in a conspiratorial, not-so-whisper:]

I'm "they."

[ help, this guy's so unserious. must be the alcohol. roland doesn't hate it though, even letting out a laugh. ]

Well, you aren't wrong about that. If we're talkin' about animals, that is.

[ and right now they're just some guys, with one of them leading the other towards a chair and carefully settling him down. ]

There we go. [ ... ] Want me to get ya some water?
nomoresharks: (Wanna see my Emet-Selch impression?)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-17 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He settles into the chair he's led to, all but draping himself over the back as he stretches out]

Please? Tomorrow's Hythlodaeus will be grateful to us both if you do.

[ hold on a hot second, he won't be too long before he comes back with a paper cup of water for the guy. ]

And is this Hythlodaeus in the room with us right now?

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Very close. [Another conspiratorial whisper as he takes the paper cup in hand] He may even be listening to our conversation.

[ just gonna sit down beside the guy, his interest piqued. ]

Why not just show up as himself...?

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-21 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
'Tis simple, really.

He likes to watch.

[Even worse at holding back his laughter than usual, it's a miracle that he only devolves into snickers]

[personal profile] gradenine 2023-08-22 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah this guy is so far gone...... ]

Or maybe he's shy. I'unno man, I don't mind it if he joins us. The more the merrier.

[ although roland would honestly prefer not too bc of his faceblindness, but it'd be weird to point out now. ]

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-22 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure to let him know when next I see him. We're quite close, you see.

[His grin grows all the wider]

Why, 'tis almost as if he's right here.

[The worst part is he'd do all this sober]</small.

[personal profile] gradenine 2023-08-24 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...

[ what a weirdo. but roland deals with all kinds of weird people, so he's used to it. still, meeting new ones can be quite something... ]

You got a name, then?
nomoresharks: (knifecat.jpg)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-24 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins from ear to ear.]

Hythlodaeus.

Yeah, clearly I'm not drunk enough for this.

[Hythlodaeus, meanwhile, is laughing so hard he's about to fall out of the chair Roland so kindly led him to.]

F-Forgive me! I couldn't resist!
gradenine: (pic#16598075)

[personal profile] gradenine 2023-08-27 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, don't worry about it. Glad you're having fun, at least.

[ luckily roland doesn't take that much offense over something like this. just remember to breathe when you're done whooping it up, hyth. ]

So wait, you came here on your own, then?
nomoresharks: (pic#15466300)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-30 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
That I did. I saw the signs and thought I would give it a try.

That wasn't the case for you, I take it?
gradenine: (pic#16478103)

[personal profile] gradenine 2023-09-06 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, Don personally invited me. We come from the same City so she thought that automatically makes us friends or something.

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-09-06 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"The City," you say...

[He couldn't mean... Ah, but he probably does.]

There are quite a few of you from this city, aren't you?
