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.

[ Reno had clocked the woman when she came over to lean against the railing a few feet away, but he hasn't yet thought about starting conversation. there are wallflowers who look like they're open to small talk and also wallflowers who don't, and this blue chick seems decidedly in the latter category—

but when she speaks first, Reno does glance over, his eyebrows going up as he takes another sip of his drink. he points to himself, miming who, me? ]

Eh, nothin'. Just watching. [ he gestures at the partygoers as a whole. ] Feels like you can learn a lot about people from how they act at a party.

[ Nebula gives the tiniest tilt of her head and quirks a brow. Then she shrugs with one shoulder. as if to say 'who else?' She's not near enough someone else to inquire at the current moment, but that's just as well. ]

Can learn a lot from anywhere.

[ Said in quick rapport, turning her attention back to the other guests. He's not wrong, though. It's easy to see how many let their guard down in a party like this - either by drinking or relaxing around strangers. ]

So what have you learned?

[astraphilia]

[ that's exactly what Reno is looking at, too: the way people's guards come down bit by bit as conversation (and liquor) flows. ]

The hostess is popular. [ he nods towards Don Quixote, who he's been watching flit between partygoers all evening. ] So is the bartender. Can't tell yet if that's just because he's the source of drinks, though.

[ he also gestures towards a cluster of others standing—close-ish, but not so close as to seem friendly. ] And there's tension there. Dunno what from but they're all... y'know, close like they know each other but not like they like each other, necessarily.

[ Reno's psychology class comes to an end here, and he glances back over at Nebula. ]

Plus some facts about the city, helpfully delivered by other people who came over for a smoke.
