[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.

Interesting people like Binghe, he means. Even if their time together has sometimes been scary, embarrassing, or just plain weird, Shen Yuan doesn't regret a single moment of it.
He doesn't think he ever will.
no subject
Spoken almost sullenly with just a hint of envy. Envy, perhaps, not just because Shen Yuan has others in his life besides Luo Binghe, but because he has had such luck with meeting such kind people.
But of course they would be kind to him; Shen Yuan is very likable. Even wearing Shen Jiu's hateful face, he has made it something warm and kind and comforting. People must surely see him for the marvel that he is.
Binghe is sure that, even with his own handsome features, it is easy for others to see the horrible thing lurking underneath. That is why they were always so quick to beat and humiliate him, even before he himself understood what a monster he is.
no subject
All he can do is sigh. "I'm not sure how to answer that," he says honestly. "I can't make Binghe believe that other people are worth knowing; it's something he has to figure out for himself. But Binghe has always been worth the risk," he adds, in a low undertone, tracing a fingertip around the tea cup that lies near at hand.
no subject
Not that that's where Luo Binghe's mind is at in the moment (though it never strays too far from such thoughts). Binghe, instead, looks pensive, gaze distant, thoughtful.
Would reaching out have made a better man of him? It was such a terrible risk though. The last time he'd hoped that things could go differently, he'd had hot tea tipped on his head. After that, he'd closed his heart.
When he was kicked into the Abyss, he locked and bolted the wretched beating thing for good measure. He'd contented himself to play-act at connection; facsimiles of the real thing that couldn't fill that gaping hollow place in him, but could, for a time, cover it, before it grew ever wider and swallowed those relationships.
Is that what would happen with Shen Yuan eventually? Would he go the same way as everyone else?
Would Luo Binghe destroy him the way he destroyed everything else?
His gaze falls on the other man, lingering for the long, thoughtful silence.
"Laoshi is taking a big risk," he says slowly, dark eyes unblinking. "This lord is not his maiden-hearted disciple. He's read my story. He knows what I am. He knows what I do."
He stands, taking Shen Yuan's hand in his, holding it to his chest as he leans into Shen Yuan's space.
"This lord wishes Shen-laoshi would take better care with where he places his trust."
