[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.

[ rue the day that Reno's inability to meet dress code counts as being more properly dressed than anybody—but shirtsleeves are shirtsleeves regardless of whether his shirt is tucked in?

either way, while Reno certainly notices her approach, he doesn't turn to look at her until she speaks—plausible deniability in case she wasn't going to talk to him at all. his eyebrows lift a little, but his grins is easy. ]


Guess I'm gonna have to finish one of these with a quickness, then. [ the drink is easier to knock back—he's mostly done with it anyway. the cigarette, he pinches out between fingers wet with the condensation from his glass and then tucks back into the pack it came from for later. old habits. ] I gotta warn ya though, I ain't fancy.

[ That was impressively quick indeed. A remarkably different reaction from her last conversational partner, but then that's the fun of it. Somewhere, she expects the man from earlier will be watching, but at least at the moment she's quite curious what this one can manage. ]

No?

[ The music already tries to limit the sort of dances she can think of, not that she isn't capable of completely tuning it out or even adjusting to the pace.

Now she's only more curious as she holds out her hand. No matter the rasp of her words, Vanessa's tone is light with a gentle tease. ]


Will this dance lead me into a den of sin?

Nah. [ it's important to set expectations low, so it's a pleasant surprise if Reno manages to over-deliver. ] But if ya still want to give it a shot...

[ he holds out his own hand to take hers, bowing lightly over it. thank Odin for the fact that all the Turks had "how to comport yourself in polite society" training, and that Reno had only zoned out through two-thirds of it instead of the whole thing.

the music is definitely not what he would have expected to dance to at one of the President's fancy society parties, but it is at least in a time signature that could potentially accommodate a waltz... if you squint. ]


Oh, definitely. [ Reno grins back, easy. ] Most things with me do.
