[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.

( she was also expecting a little more than out of the ordinary, honestly. with the haphazard mix of people and stars, she was almost certain she'd spot more than her fair share of something unfamiliar. even the moon rabbits in her corner of the universe had stranger offerings.. )

For the lack of time? ( the alternative is less kind, and she would hate for that to be the case. lack of resources, or perhaps food being more necessity than anything else. it's simply the reality for some, but it is no less a cruel fate. ) Well, the others have certainly outdone themselves, and it would be a shame to let their efforts go to waste. Have you tried any?

Something like that.

[ Clipped, perhaps too quickly. Now days, it is something more like that. They spend more time working as Guardians to think about it and Knowhere always has fresh orloni to eat. But in the past, it was something darker she'd rather not linger on. So she doesn't. ]

[ Glancing back at the table, she shakes her head: ]

... No. I did not come here to eat. [ ... ] There's enough people here who need it more.

( what a curious answer indeed. the mindset of a soldier, perhaps? a survivor, at least. )

I suppose that's not all there is to be offered, ( looking right at the party games that are scattered about in the different groupings, and the cleared out space that's meant for fists to be thrown in. ) .. but I've my doubts that the need is so dire as to deprive yourself.

( her attention is back to their spread for the evening, and her heart breaks just a little knowing that her companion seems to think she needs to exclude herself from the feast for the sake of others. )

If you do not mind my asking, what were you hoping to find?

No, but I don't eat much.

[ Rather it's true or not is really uncertain, but enough of her body is replaced it's probably partly true. Either way, she doesn't seem to want to budge on the matter. (Yet, it'll feel rude later).]

[ She turns her attention half to the party and then back to the woman. ]

[ Thinks a moment. ]

... A party is a good way to meet people.

[ Said in a certain amount of off-handness with half a shrug. She wouldn't call it friends she's looking for - as much as Peter would probably act like a giddy child at the idea - but there may be more Guardians here... But that means whatever's bringing them is adding more. And Knowhere is losing its protectors. ]

Is that a problem?

Mere idle curiosity.

( truth be told, she doesn't seem the type, but she's not about to say that. in fact, she's happy enough to have been proven wrong about the assumption. at least she wasn't dragged here against her will, that's just cause for unneeded discomfort. )

Asking questions happens to be a great part of my profession, you see.

[ Technically, they were all dragged here against their will! But it was true. She chose to be here, even if she came empty-handed and kept to a corner to watch rather than engage. But then, she's never really experienced the variety of party games going on. ]

[ Consider her interest piqued enough that she does offer a singular raised brow and a questioning: ]

And what would that be?
