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.

food[ At least for poor Roland's sake, the woman eating nearby is both a stranger and different appearing enough that it... Shouldn't be too hard to recognize her away, as blue as she is (and purple). There's not many blue people around here. ]

[ But at some point the smell of meat is enough to make her want to eat something. And given no one else has seemed to walk away poisoned, the meat seemed a safer bet than others. It's not like she needs to eat much, but she can still taste and enjoy those things all the same. ]

[ The question doesn't catch her off-guard exactly, but it does take her a moment of thought to answer honestly: ]

The meat was flavorful.

[ ... That's a compliment for Nebula. ]

[gradenine]

[ the blue and purple definitely helps! the lack of a recognizable face is still rather disconcerting, but roland can roll with it. at least next time he'll know who she is once his eyesight turns back to normal again.

he feels a frisson of pride when she gives her praise, and he grins. ]

Oh, that's great to hear. There's just so much meat to choose from, but I'm glad they all slap.

[ but now he's curious... ]

Did you uh, have something like this before?

[furibund]

[ Nebula doesn't smile, but she doesn't frown more, which really is a success in itself. She's not heard anyone say 'all slap' before so her brows furrow briefly, but she guesses it means good and gives a slight nod. ]

[ The follow-up earns a slight cocking of her head before she answers: ]

Not exactly like this. But there's all kinds of meat in the galaxies.

[ It'd be weird if they were all cooked and ate just the same, probably. Or maybe it wouldn't. ]

[gradenine]

[ --record scratch. he actually turns to raise an incredulous eye at her, his gaze still missing the other woman's. ]

O-Other galaxies?

[ he's met the gundam kids but they mentioned being on the moon last time. wdym there are people out there who have gone up and beyond??? ]

[furibund]

[ Surprisingly, that's not quite an unfamiliar response for her even before the City. Earth hadn't even really started space travel when she had visited, let alone interplanterary travel. That'd been a question there and on many of the other planets. ]

[ So her tone and expression are as impassive as ever as she offers, simply - like talking about the color of the sky: ]

I did not stutter.

[gradenine]

I-I know you did not stutter! I'll do that for ya.

[ HE'S STILL STUNNED, OKAY... ]

It's just... It's hard to believe. I bet it ain't easy just handling the equipment, let alone building the ships that lets you jet outta here.
