Help XO, the coolest deaf influencer in town, track down the Tata Program in which her father, genius inventor Leonid Wurm coded his soul before he died. The Tata Program is hidden somewhere in the space of Lela’s party.
For the party:
1. Dress funky! And include at least one pink or blue item in your costume. Lola's requirements... meh. But we have to fit in to get in.
2. Wear super comfortable shoes! You'll have to walk about 500 meters. You'll also be climbing stairs, and moving through space. Leave the heels at home. Lola's party is uber-casual.
3. You can take photos, make Insta stories or TikToks. Etc Etc. XO really encourages it and you can always tag her, if you wish. Or @orasulparalel.
