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.

Mantis grins, and huffs a quick laugh. "Sometimes arson is fun." She takes Johanna's hand, shaking it like Peter has taught her. "I am Mantis."

[keepgodwaiting]

Johanna's smile widens at that, a bit surprised.

"Nice to meet you, Mantis." (A warm feeling of amusement and curiosity, a wisp of flirtatious interest.) "You do much arson, then?"

[uglybug]

Mantis considers that for a moment. How much is "much"? "Only when we have to blow something up. I don't set fires."

[keepgodwaiting]

"Probably safer that way. Looks better on your permanent record. Who's 'we'?"

[uglybug]

Mantis grins, and then her expression turns fond. "We are the Guardians of the Galaxy."

[keepgodwaiting]

Constantine's eyebrows go up.

"And the Guardians of the Galaxy are ... what it says on the tin? I haven't heard of you."

[uglybug]

Unlike her brother, Mantis is never bothered when someone hasn't heard of them. She grins. "Exactly what it says. We've saved the Galaxy a few times."
