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.

[ roland didn't wanna step in for now - lack of faces makes playing these games pretty awkward, you see. but he has been keeping tabs on angela from afar, and her encountering don's ppodae energy was inevitable.

so before don launches another question, he's going to pop out of nowhere and place a hand on angela's shoulder. ]

Aaaall right, I think you interrogated her way too much already, Don. I'll take it from here.

[ gotta protect the boss, no matter how complicated the feelings are. hold on, he's going to peer at the drawing his bestie made ]

Oh, that actually looks good, Angela. Might wanna ask Netzach for more feedback on that in case you wanna pursue another hobby. [ he's teasing. ]

[icanfixer]

I do not think I...

[ ... hm. don looks curiously at roland, which only one of them can see, and seems on the verge of asking another question--

but he's already talking on to the other lady, so she'll turn away to spook someone else in the circle, though she's still curious about. that. and ppodae, but mostly that. ]

[worldexecute]

( complicated feelings or not, she can't help but feel relieved when he cuts in. she glances at the other woman for a moment, a little sad—but no, mostly relieved.

she does remove roland's hand from her shoulder though, shaking her head. )

Thank you, but no thank you. This was enough for me. ( though it really looks much better than she expected... and once don quixote is for sure out of earshot, angela gives roland a sideways glance. ) ...Thank you for cutting in. Her energy's on par with certain guests we've had, but it was always easy to end conversations with them...

( may you find your book in this place, and all. )

Are you two friends?

[gradenine]

[ do you wanna thank him or not... pick a struggle. like how roland's struggling on how to put his relationship with don into words. ]

She calls us that, yeah. But honestly, it's a big detriment on her part. She's a Fixer, but she's clearly inexperienced and has a pretty deluded view on how the job works. And you know how it's not glamourous at all, right?

[ they'd had this talk before, given what happened to the likes of phillip and xiao in their respective receptions. what happened to them ain't pretty, and it's because of the bonds they'd had with people. ]

[worldexecute]

Right.

( ...but she's someone who could break that cycle, if she wanted to. someone so obviously touched by the light... but that isn't party-talk, that's other-time-talk. )

I have some thoughts about her too, but this isn't the time or place. ( thoughts capital T thoughts ) ...Also, don't drink too much. I need you to deal with Netzach and getting him somewhere that isn't the roof to sleep.

[gradenine]

[ waves hand, waves hand. oh he's aware that they can't unpack their respective baggages here. ]

Yeah, yeah. Leave it to me, ma'am~
