[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.

[The question is asked, though it takes Hythlodaeus a few moments longer than usual to process it]

'Tis truly just me, then?

[What if the floor IS flat?]

Oh nevermind. I'll sit still if you tell me how you're enjoying the party.

[He may not be the host, but it's absolutely critical that everyone is enjoying themselves.]

[ There is an unspoken reply to Hythlodaeus's question, too. Indeed, the floor is very flat and quite motionless. But what comes next gives Yesod pause for another reason — enjoying the party is somewhat complicated.

He has achieved a few of the goals he'd set himself, which could suffice as the simplest answer. ]


This party is an opportunity to meet people brought here from various worlds. Speaking with them has been interesting.
nomoresharks: (And then Azem did a flip)

Only "interesting?" In the good or bad sense?

[If it's the former, he can't complain (much). But the latter? No. That won't do at all.]

You should try some of the food as well while you're here. [a pause] Except for the bread. I don't recommend the bread.

I consider it a point in the party's favor.

[ And approaching these party guests serves as one justification for his own attendance, in addition to the presence of several of his coworkers. But the recommendation and the warning prompt a questioning look — which bread, exactly? Perhaps he should take a closer look at the available options... ]

...What would you recommend, in that case?

The white chocolate raspberry ice cream is quite delicious, I've found, particularly so when paired with some of the dark chocolate. And it's been difficult to keep from going back for seconds or thirds with some of the pastries.

[He shrugs and then laughs to himself.]

But here I am making my preference for sweets obvious.

[ The response is coherently earnest, and the recommended choices aren't unappealing. Yesod's lips twitch into a small smile. ]

It's fortunate that the organizers anticipated the popularity of these options, then. But I must ask why the bread is the one item to avoid.

I'm sure there's bread that isn't a crime against...

[He rolls his hand in a slow circle as he tries to find the right words. "Against the culinary arts" he wants to say, if only his alcohol-soaked brain could get there.]

...against quite a lot. 'Tis all nutrition and no taste.

[He shakes his head]

Nay. There is taste. It's just... bad.

[ This bread's recipe has a specific aim that runs counter to the purpose that ice cream and pastries fulfill, in other words. If it genuinely manages to be so offensive, that could be considered quite the feat, in a way.

Yesod raises his brows. ]


...And does this particular bread have any characteristics to identify it visually?
nomoresharks: (Formulating a plan)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-31 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nay. 'Tis almost insidious in that regard.

[Fluffy and innocent and foul]

But... it is the only loaf of bread I saw among the pastries. Unless someone has added something normal to the mix since then.

[personal profile] wordchain 2023-09-02 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
A cunning approach, I see.

[ Who would suspect a simple loaf of bread, outwardly plain and innocuous in appearance? Granted, whoever decided to include it among the spread probably meant well, if nothing else... ]

However, as you've sampled it and are spreading the word, the rest of us will be spared, provided that we do not give in to curiosity. It seems that it hasn't significantly detracted from your overall experience tonight, either.
