[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.

Don was hosting a party and so Althea showed up, and what started as simple as that has turned into... well, not full blown anxiety, but certainly some very nervous energy as she tries to figure out just what to do.
She's never drank before, so she's hesitant to go near any alcohol, one can only go near the food so many times before people might judge, and so far she's been too shy to even go near any of the party games. Which leaves her... wallflowering. Hard. At least the balcony is nice this time of night!
ii. when is it acceptable to get food?
[After... some indeterminate amount of time, or when she just gets tired of it, she does eventually gravitate towards the food. She even brought a big catering sized dish of beef stroganoff! So she's going to fill up her plate with as many things as she can fit on it in one trip, with the plan that she'll go for another trip later when she thinks its been long enough, but it's hard to balance a plate that size, so if she sees anyone come near she's going to absolutely freeze and try to carefully back away to give them room.]
Hey! Sorry, was I in the way?
iii. why does it always have to be fights?
[She... doesn't want anything to do with the fights, honestly. Especially after what happened with Don and the nightmares she's only recently started properly getting over.
And yet she finds herself drawn to the area anyway. Not out of any desire to fight, by any means, but out of curiousity. She wants to learn to fight, after all, and this seems a good source of knowledge, in a low stress environment.
And if she ever needs to know who can and can't fight in the city, well here it isIt's weird just watching, though, and so eventually she'll find herself turning to address whomever is near her with something like an apologetic curiousity.]
Are you planning on fighting anyone, or just watching?
i.
A breather is sought for now, and he gravitates to a quiet spot for the view, where he spots another. ]
Quite the turnout, eh? Though these things can be a bit overwhelming, at times.
[ So he understands if she's trying to get some alone time and if she doesn't seem to want the company, he'll leave her be. ]
no subject
Yeah, overwhelming is definitely a good word for it. I guess I should have expected that but... it's kind of in a good way?
[She gives a small shrug, along with an apologetic smile: she's not exactly sure how to describe her thoughts just yet.]
I guess it's nice seeing so much life?
no subject
It is. A lot of people must be nervous about being here. It's good if they relax for a night. The city might have provided a few spots, but entertainment is still kind of lacking, in my opinion. Not even a single library or a theater.
[ Even a few books to read would make Hob a little happier. ]
I'm Hob. What's your name?
no subject
Yeah, not having a theater is pretty bad but not having a library? What were the city planers thinking?
[It's half a joke, since no one is even sure what the point of the city or their arrival there even is, she can't rule out some giant experiment about the lack of distractions or reading material. But it REALLY sucked.]
But yeah, I think you're right. Everyone needs to be able to relax sometimes, but especially here it's... it feels like it's wearing down on me little by little, I guess? Maybe that's a weird way to put it, sorry.
[But she's trying to smile again and not look TOO nervous at introductions, giving a little nod to be polite.]
Althea. It's nice to meet you, Hob.
no subject
[ Given that the city is otherwise a comfortable prison, Hob's definition of torture might need a bit of work. He's certainly lived far worse than this in the past. ]
No, I think I understand what you mean. Every day ends up feeling the same. It sort of.. saps your energy.
Nice to meet you, Althea.
no subject
Considering the bank thing... I think the second might be more likely than the first. Either that, or they're terrible at being comforting.
[She's lived in... technically worse conditions in the past, but she'd still rather be there than here right now. Perhaps it was the uncertainty, combined with the emptiness, but she found herself nodding along with Hob's description.]
Yeah, it really does feel like that. Hopefully not 'literally', though.. I guess that would explain everyone's powers being on the fritz and could serve an explanation for why people were brought here...
[Wait, this is a party, she's not supposed to be thinking about this stuff! She quickly shakes her head to clear it and tries again to smile.]
Right, sorry. I guess that's another reason why a party is so good for people to relax for a while, huh?
no subject
No, it's my fault. I guess I can't help going back to it.
[ He's just as guilty for dwelling on the negatives, though he really tries not to. ]
It is nice, seeing everyone get along and meet each other.
no subject
[Though her statement was accompanied by a quiet huff of a laugh, she still couldn't stop the brief expression of annoyance by what they were all going through.
Still, the next comment gets another smile and she turns to glance around at the room at large, leaning back against the balcony.]
Yeah, it's great. I was worried people would be fighting each other constantly when I first got here, but thankfully everyone seems more focused on figuring out what's going on.
no subject
[ He wonders if she's used to people not cooperating where she comes from. ]
So far, meeting so many interesting people has been the one good thing about this place.
