[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.

Precisely.

( sorry to say that it will NOT slap no matter what, but good on him for trying again just in case. sampling size is important in experimentation, and she respects that. +1. )

As it happens, not all share their particular philosophy. Convenient as it may be, 'tis a needless sacrifice. Proper nutrition need not come at the cost of taste, and a meal that is hard to stomach is not one I would call 'accessible', neither. ( but, she does look a little nostalgic. not that she's going to have any, mind you. ) ... I am, and while I am not one of the few that conjured this delightful meal, I happen to hail from where it originated from.

[ yay, he'd just gotten a seal of approval from -- are those cat ears? oh wow, a seal of approval from a catgirl scholar. sure beats the catgirl he met during the reception of the musicians of bremen... ]

I see. Well, you're right about that. You studious types also deserve a treat from all that reading and ruminating, right?

[ like how angela deserves to have all the treats after everything she's been through... probably. ]

You still got other treats from your world here? Been taking bites and pieces from the others after they tried the hotpot-slash-barbecue I set up over there, but I wanna try something a little different.

( the much coveted catgirl seal of approval.. )

Now and then. Admittedly, I'm of the type to get absorbed in my task, but even I'm not above the occasional indulgence.

( sometimes you forget to stop for a few days and that's ok! anyway, )

How's your taste for sweeter fare?

[ it's such an honor 🧎‍♂️ ]

I'm proud to say that I got a sweet tooth. What'd you have in mind, ma'am?

That so? A moment, then, if you'd please.

( and off she goes! not that she takes very long. before the next song even starts, she's back with two small plates with slices of jellied red on thick, creamy white. one's offered to him, naturally. )

Introduced to me in one of my excursions. I hope you take to it as much as I did.

[ oh, jelly! don't mind if he does, scooping a bite into his mouth. ]

--Oh, you're not kidding. That is sweet! Not cloyingly sweet, I'll give it that. Don't think I ever had this kind of fruit before.

[ takes another bite. that is refreshing, wao... ]
