[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.

You're hardly the first to say so. Both when it comes to my troublesome nature and the desire to stay far away while drunk.

I take it as a compliment.

[This is his talent and he is laying claim to it.]

Of course you'd take it as a compliment.

[A huff.]

Find yourself a bow, yet?

Just about. Some kind soul was willing to give it a try and should be contacting me with the results soon enough. And on my end, I've managed to make a few arrows that will last long enough to be fired.

[It's hard not to be proud with how much he's been practicing.

Sure, hand-making them would be a sight easier than crafting a bow all on one's own, but he likes the idea of still being able to make something with his own creation magicks.]

[personal profile] immortalpoet 2023-08-23 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
What, really?

[That's...actually kind of impressive.]

What did you make them out of?
nomoresharks: (Formulating a plan)

[He holds out his hand and reaches into the well of aether within his body. It condenses little by little, until an arrow bursts into being in his hand.]

A little slower than I'd like, but 'tis still significant progress Mayhap an alteration of its weave to use less aether would be a good idea as well.

[He loses himself in thought for a moment, but then quickly shakes shakes his head and dismisses the arrow, dissolving it into thousands of motes of light.

Those sorts of thoughts are for when he's not at a party.]

Oh. That is progress.

[...Ah, but he went quiet for a second there. Vergilius stands there for a moment, quiet, before he speaks up once more.]

...Does it...wear down on you?
nomoresharks: (And then Azem did a flip)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-30 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

Moreso here than back home, seeing as I happen to be one of the few sources of aether about. But as long as I'm careful, the worst that should happen is the need for a few days rest and some food.

[It's not like he's planning on trying any grand feats of magic that will put his life in danger anytime soon, after all.]

Don't use up your battery. You may need it for the days ahead. Unless you are the type to be reckless, and then I can't help you.

[DON'T DO IT!!! okay but he believes hyth won't]

Does everyone where you come from do stuff like that? Mess with aether?
nomoresharks: (As I seem to recall....)

[personal profile] nomoresharks 2023-08-30 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I try to leave the recklessness to others where possible.

But yes. 'Tis something even children are capable of. Which, as you can imagine, leads to its share of awkward and interesting moments in equal measure.
immortalpoet: (cardinal)

[personal profile] immortalpoet 2023-09-14 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Children, huh.

So what does a grand magical society even do? Sounds like it either could be a utopia, or a mess.

Most would say that we work to make our star a better place--and 'tis true, but I imagine outside of said star, such a description is entirely unhelpful.

So I suppose... Hm...

[He thinks on it a moment.]

We to make things that would enrich our own lives and add to both the variety and beauty of life to our star while doing the least possible harm. Which still isn't terribly descriptive, but the only intricacies that I can speak to are those mine own role entails.
