The party is held at night on an expansive rooftop that is situated higher than those of the surrounding buildings.{{book ref|firefight|18}}{{book ref|firefight|19}} [[Edso]] provides the music for the crowd, playing it loudly enough as to make talking difficult. Most of the people there are in their late teens, and they spend their time dancing or eating. Many of them are in luminescent clothing that has been sprayed with spray paint, adding to the overall impression of frenetic movement.{{book ref|firefight|19}} The dance floor is surrounded by tables piled high with juice and glowing fruit that has recently been harvested from [[Dawnslight]]'s plants, and there is a makeshift bar constructed out of a pile of wooden boxes.{{book ref|firefight|19}}{{book ref|firefight|20}}

|Epics might come. Could take you today, could take you tomorrow. But so might a heart attack. No reason not to party today, while you can.

[[David Charleston]], [[Mizzy]], and [[Exel]] went to the party to speak to people and try to glean some information from them. Mizzy met up with a group of friends, including [[Infinity]], [[Marco (Reckoners)|Marco]], [[Lulu]] and [[Calaka]]. When she introduced David to the group, they immediately pegged him as an outsider and offered to spray paint his clothes so he would fit in with the rest of them. David felt overwhelmed and defensive, rejecting their offer and barely able to believe the derogatory way they spoke of the [[Reckoners]]. He ended up dancing with Lulu for a time, but when Lulu moved on to dance with another boy, David noticed [[Newton]] by the food tables.{{book ref|firefight|19}} He began to approach her, but Mizzy stopped him and convinced him to return to the dance floor. They discussed the [[Epic]] as she ordered a drink and observed the room. In the meantime, Exel had also set up at the bar chatting up a group of women.{{book ref|firefight|20}}

David left the party for a while to find a place to think.{{book ref|firefight|20}} Newton, having noticed the Reckoners earlier, followed David but lost him when he heard her footsteps and decided to hide.
