Chapter 2 - Party preparation

The group worked tirelessly, transforming the abandoned hotel into a vibrant party zone. Kenshin, ever the perfectionist, ensured every detail was in place.

"Renn, how's the music setup?" Kenshin asked, surveying the room.

"Ready to rock!" Renn replied, adjusting the soundboard. "I've got a playlist that'll keep the party going all night."

Akane tended to the bar, mixing signature cocktails. "Takanori, can you handle security?"

Takanori nodded, scanning the perimeter. "Got it. I've set up cameras and traps around the hotel."

Hinata's artistic flair brought the space to life with colorful decorations. Yor captured the setup process on camera, snapping photos of the group's laughter and camaraderie.

As night fell, the hotel's lobby pulsed with energy. The group shared excited smiles.

"This is it," Kenshin said. "Our first party in this new world. Let's make it unforgettable."

The doors opened, and survivors from nearby communities poured in. Laughter and music filled the air.

The lobby transformed into a vibrant dance floor. Colored lights flashed, casting a kaleidoscope of hues across the walls. Renn's playlist thumped through the speakers, drawing people to the dance floor.

Akane's signature cocktails flowed freely: "Radioactive Punch," "Apocalypse Ale," and "Survivor's Sour." Guests mingled, sharing stories of their journeys.

Hinata's art installations added a touch of whimsy: a neon-lit "Hope" sign, a graffiti mural depicting the group's adventures, and a photo booth with apocalypse-themed props.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside. Shattered glass and snarls echoed through the lobby.

"What's going on?" Kenshin asked Takanori.

"Rad-Rats," Takanori replied, rifle at the ready. "They've found us."

The partygoers exchanged nervous glances. Rad-Rats, mutated rodents with razor-sharp claws, were notorious for their ferocity.

"Keep the party going," Kenshin decided. "We'll handle the Rad-Rats."

The group sprang into action.

Takanori and Renn secured the perimeter, while Akane tended to potential injuries. Hinata helped evacuate partygoers to safe areas. Yor documented the situation, snapping photos and recording footage.

Kenshin coordinated the defense. "We need to protect our guests. Let's show these Rad-Rats we won't back down."

The group readied themselves for battle.
