[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.

[ king he never went to an actual school why would he even think to get a medical degree. at least daan had an excuse to be blase about the concept of murder, given his profession, so why not this guy?

ah well. here's the pork platter; now get to dipping and roasting. ]


Yeah, that depends on the person. There are ones who just find it to be an normal part of life, and others who think otherwise. I'm a mercenary by trade, so I'm used to it. Aren't you?

[you are all just weirdos, it's fine, he's learning as he goes--]

Not military? Ah- I keep running into soldiers, lately. [And a military man might have cause to keep a purposefully lax mindset when it comes to death, so he might have assumed without the mercenary reveal. A mercenary, though... Tenma gives him a glance up and down, like, huh! Takes all kinds!]

Do you really think being a doctor makes death "normal"? I took an oath to save as many lives as I can. Should I really give up on my patients because they're going to die one day, no matter what?

[that pork platter better not have any nihilism in it, young man.]

Death is always a tragedy.

Nah, I work solo. I got hired by a Library, though. You might even see some of my coworkers around.

[ and his boss, but he and angela are in their "IT'S SO OVER" era right now so he's not gonna bring her up.

he pauses as he considers tenma's words, using this as an excuses to dip more food into the hotpot. mm, pork shoulder... ]


It is a tragedy. I'm just desensitized, is all. [ a shrug. ] I will say, though -- I don't get to meet doctors as compassionate as you. At least from what you said just now. Some of them have some sort of god complex, y'see. That or they just wanna harvest guts for cash.

[Why does a Library have mercs!!!! More questions Tenma quietly puts away in the "the answer is probably more confusing than the assumption" category...]

I don't think you've met many doctors, in that case.

[That's just his opinion; if someone is a corrupt nightmare or literally trafficking organs, they aren't even a doctor in name only! It's terrible that Roland has had such a disappointing experience with doctors ("doctors") and it's sad that he's so desensitized to human tragedy—Tenma merely watches him dip in the hotpot for lack of anything to say to those that isn't a greeting card platitude. But he'll remember; he'll try to keep an eye on Roland, if he can...

Anyway. Keep it light, Dr. Tenma, this is a party,]


We have to take an oath and everything, but admittedly even I had my attention split at the ceremony between that and the hors d'oeuvres.

...Yeah, probably. Never really to visit one for long-term injuries either. But I do get banged up every now and then.

[ but hopefully he doesn't need to get neurosurgery or whatever. wouldn't that end in lobotomies, even? haha, lobotomy... ]

Must've been some damn good hors d'oeuvres, then! I totally get ya. You're also a foodie, aren't you?
