🥂 HEAVENLY BLANC VOID PARTY 🥂
Who: Everyone!
What: Heavenly Blanc mingle and info exchange
Where: The Heavenly Blanc Bar and Café
When: "August 1"; but really, what is time
Content Warnings: N/A
Maybe you heard through word of mouth, or got an invite from the barista and barkeep directly, or spotted the handwritten paper invites hung up around the area, but there is a gathering happening at the Heavenly Blanc Bar and Café TODAY! So feel free to stop by, hang out, have some drinks, and share some stories.
🍺 DRINKS: Coffee will be served by Ren, and Tifa will be handling the other drinks. There's a wide variety behind the bar, ranging from alcoholic to the non-alcoholic, with delicious cocktails (yes, including virgin ones for the minors) to pick from. And before you ask - no, if you are underage, you may not have alcohol. Tifa will be very strict about it, and anyone who tries to bypass her imposed law will be subject to room temperature tapwater for the rest of the party.
🎲 GAMES: Various boardgames that came along with Le Blanc will be made available for all to play, including a Shogi board for the strategically inclined (and whoever knows how the heck to play it). Along the side wall are two pinball machines, and while they don't light up and make sounds, the mechanisms inside them still work, so they aren't completely out of the picture! Next to them, between the jukebox and the door is a dart board. Please do be mindful when throwing darts, as the light filtering into the bar through the front windows is very minimal.
🤔 INFORMATION EXCHANGE: The important part! When all are gathered inside the bar, Tifa and Ren will make a small announcement for everyone:
 "Now that we've all had the chance to take a look around and get our bearings, I wanna encourage everyone to exchange what you know, or what you've found. Even share it with the rest of us! Locations, ideas, theories - anything that could be useful in helping us all figure this out. We all come from different worlds, but we're stuck here, so we're in this together until we're not, yeah? Let's make friends and play nice, and most importantly, have fun today! Oh, and if you're coming and going, make sure to close the door nice and tight behind you."
"It's nice to see everyone. Since we're stuck here together, let's cooperate well."
☕ OOC NOTES ☕
This is the open mingle post for the Heavenly Blanc void party! Please feel free to top-level and tag around.
There is a top-level included here for you to post OOC notes of what their characters have discussed on the log, as well as their own thoughts about the world. If there is anything important that people should know, please reply to the top-level with the information, so that it's easy to find for everyone. General info posts about what your character will be talking about are fine as well. Just please try to avoid multiple edits if you can as you thread if you are going that route! for the sake of my dw inbox...
Because this is an info exchange/mingle post, we encourage thread-jacking. However, we know that not everyone is into that kind of thing, so if you are okay with others hopping into your threads, please be sure to indicate it in your top-level.
Questions about the log can be directed to the ooc post.
Have fun! |

NOTES
REN AMAMIYA
As for theories, he will say it feels like it's pulling from their memories/psychology/experience and meshing together the bits that seem to make sense for whatever reason, but won't go too further on that either. He will be against the simulation theory if it is disclosed by void friends.
+1 Goro Akechi
no subject
He'll also briefly mention without going into deep detail that he's been through this once before, having been taken from his world originally and brought to a world between worlds called Fellden (Izuku is a game CRAU). He'll elaborate further if asked (though he realizes it's a lot to take in after a handful of conversations about it with others), but the long and short is that he's been around this block before. Right now though he's coming to the conclusion that he's not certain that everyone being brought here has anything to do with what was going on in Fellden before, mainly because nobody else is from there.
BLUE - (Location: Mt Silver; Species, etc)
Blue would explain that the mountain the bar is at the base of, Mt. Silver, has strangely altered geography from what he can tell by the ley of the land (for example, he should be able to see his hometown from the mountain, but none of Kanto/Johto's geography around it is correct).
He'll also provide information about some of the creatures the world has manifested that are recognizable to him as Pokémon, namely the Pidgey (which he's interacted with) and the Magikarp and Smeargle (which he hasn't seen personally yet). He'll share that they're species from his home region, but he'll share reports and his own observations that they both appear different, especially the Pidgey and Smeargle, and that his personal theory is that they're some sort of regional form (basically an alternate breed) of the ones he's familiar with.
He will also, with some impatience, explain what Pokémon are to anyone who hasn't yet gotten the rundown from another Poképerson (tl;dr: the wildlife of their world, sapient, understand human language but can't speak it themselves, tend to partner up with humans called 'Pokémon trainers' to travel and battle competitively amongst each other in teams). He's under the working theory that everyone's appearance here is the work of a legendary Pokémon (which you might eventually gather are his world's version of gods), but no guesses as to exactly what or why.
Lastly, he'll share his frustration with technology not working, since his Pokémon are stuck in their balls and his Pokédex (tablet, basically) isn't working.
Hornet
She is solidly of the opinion that some higher power has physically taken parts of different worlds and melded them together, though she'll acknowledge the possibility of it being some kind of dream instead. Regardless of details, she's clearly looking for some singular entity to place the blame on.
Bowser
When speaking about being transported to another world, or the void, Bowser may explain his past experiences related to the matter. Bowser has been transported to another dimension without knowing why at the time before. He has also seen a "void" such as the one found before the creation of the world, and surrounding its known areas. Both of these experiences occured during his adventure to stop Count Bleck, who sought to bring about multiversal destruction. However, these actually orchestrated to some extent by a sorceror named Dimentio, the true mastermind behind the event, whose goal was to "destroy all worlds and create perfect new ones." However, the void he previously encountered featured some of the remains of the world that had previously occupied that space, the Sammer Kingdom. Bowser has observed no such remains in this world. Furthermore, no other journey to other dimensions has altered Bowser's powers or limitations, but the current world has.
Bowser does not believe the world is a dream or simulation. He believes that people and places from other dimensions were placed in a new world. Bowser also believes that an old world may have died for the new world to exist in its place, but he is unsure about this and does not want to believe that it is true. He has no theories regarding why physics, technology, and peoples' powers do not work properly.
Parsee Mizuhashi
The Bridge is "hers." It's almost identical to one from her world, but she's not sure it actually is the one from her world. She thinks that the things they're seeing might have been made out of the white stuff, but she isn't certain. She agrees with Ren that the things here seem to be drawn from their memories. She uses the illustration of an oyster and a pearl, about how the stone irritates the oyster and causes it to secrete the pearl around the pebble. They're the stone, and the stuff is being formed around them.
She kind of thinks their bodies might be white stuff too, which explains not needing to breathe. And, she doesn't think the world is 'finished' with trying to figure out how a world is supposed to exist, because they're still here and as long as they're here, it's going to keep secreting things around them until the pearl, or world, is finished.
She's rather proud of the illustration even if it ends up being wrong.
What she is: If she's asked "What do you mean the bridge is yours." She'll call herself a bridge princess, and say they always have a bridge. But it only probably means that she's a glorified gate guard to watch over people taking the bridge out into the void. Her other duties, she doesn't think matter here. At least not yet anyway. She doesn't clear that cryptic statement up.
ask me about my conspiracy theories with ahsoka tano
(for ooc context, the imprint is pulled from memories she doesn't fully recall.)
As for theories, Ahsoka is definitely in the simulation mindset of things. The fact that everything here just forms out of nothing and at random, that those things are all connected to people here, and how none of them seem to need to sleep or eat to survive raises a lot of flags for her. She'll explain to anyone who doesn't grasp the concept that a simulation is an artificial reality constructed to be lived in only in mind. Their real bodies are elsewhere hooked up to a machine, and they are only experiencing the world around them on a mental level. The people are real, but the world around them is generated through their memories.
The only thing she will admit that pokes holes in this theory is that the level of work to pull something on this scale off, considering everyone here is from different planets seemingly, is massive. So much so that unless the reasons behind it are serious, then it isn't worth the trouble. And while there have been some pretty insane conspiracies in the galaxy, kidnapping a random assortment of people to live together without any given reason behind it is probably not worth that effort.
Which leads to her second theory: if everything here is real and not computer generated, then she speculates the planet is itself alive. It's a living entity that both drew them in and is feeding on their memories to create itself. The planet needs them here in order to become fully habitable and whole, and once they finish doing that it may allow them to leave. How is THAT possible? Well! She doesn't know, but she isn't claiming to have all the answers either!
(it's the force. she doesn't want to go into the force because it's a secret thing for her, but she thinks the force is doing this, i'm sorry jedi are like this.)
2B
She currently has no idea what this world is, but having seen Parsee's bridge drop into existence from nothing is pretty sure the thoughts of people here have some effect on the world at large.

DO THE THREAD HIJACKING THINGIE I AM INTO IT
(He has never seen Heavenly Blanc (or Leblanc for that matter) as busy as it is at the moment, but previous experience came in handy. Back at the beef bowl shop, Ren was the one to take orders, prepare them, serve them, ring them up and then clean the store.
It's showtime!
Please feel free to make conversation with the barista while he prepares your order.)
2. ♟️
(Break time. Ren is now sitting outside for the sake of having light, putting the shogi board together. It doesn't look amazing, as it was handmade by yours truly, but it is functional.
Please come play with him!)
3. 🎯 OPEN FOR 4 CHARACTERS
(Ren is next in line for the darts!
He's a little annoyed his Third Eye is not activating - the skill surely would come in handy in a time like this, not only to steer him towards a win but also to actually help him see in the dark. He needs a duo, though.)
4. 🃏 WILDCARDS
Please do. Throw him stuff to deal with. Ask him random things. Go behind the bar and drag him to play. Get placebo drunk and pet his hair.
I am down.

Having been inside a little too long, by his reckoning indoors for too long, he steps outside for a moment, and the boy catches his eye. Hm...]
An interesting project you're working on. Is this some manner of game?

[It's highly likely that Izuku was invited to this get-together by Ren himself, seeing how they'd been talking about trying to organize something like this via posted fliers around the area. He's glad to see it come to fruition, especially because it seems like the best way to get to meet people he might not have crossed paths with yet.
He'll get something for himself to drink- probably a virgin cocktail of some sort, since it's more interesting than plain water- only to remember that he's not...really the best at parties? He's not antisocial persay, but he's not exactly a social butterfly either...if anything Izuku ends up finding a seat nearish to one of the walls so he can watch others as they walk in and mull over how to start a conversation with someone. ...anyone.
Of course, it seems Izuku's peace will be short lived. As he's sitting there sipping his drink, he hadn't noticed that the little rabbit-bird creature that he (and Katsuki by proxy) had befriended from Mt. Silver had slinked through the door after him. Inevitably, it means that the little guy just unceremoniously leaping into his lap startles Izuku badly enough to accidentally knock his drink over onto the table.]
Ah-! H-hey!
[The creature- whom Katsuki had named Murderlord despite Izuku's protests- rubs his head into Izuku's chest before turning in a neat circle to sit, leaving Izuku stuck as the ice cubes of his drink float sadly in the puddle on the table.]
2) Games
[Izuku will likely be sitting down for a couple games of Shogi with those who are familiar with the game (he's not terribly good at it, but strategy is one of the things he has to focus on the most as a hero-hopeful, so it's good practice), the bird from earlier now deligated to his shoulders so as to hopefully not cause any more untimely mishaps...
Or maybe you'll find Izuku trying and failing miserably to throw darts. Like holy shit, he is TRYING so hard, but most of the time he misses the board completely...and the ones that do land are nowhere near the center. It's definitely probably due to the limited amount of light they have to work with and not the fact Izuku sucks, clearly.]
3) Wildcard
[I'm open for any sort of wildcard scenario! Just hit me up with whatever o7 Or if you wanna do additional plotting, hit me up on plurk at
3. wildcard!
He can't make virgin cocktails yet, that is something Tifa is still to teach him, but he can provide quality coffee and tea, something he hasn't offered to Izuku yet.)
Hey, it worked!
(He gestures around.)
Can I get you anything?

II.
so lance (and dragonite) are leaning against the wall, not really one for . . . parties, necessarily. though he does catch sight of raihan (it's kind of hard not to, the gym leader is very tall), and lance's eyes shift to the white board that raihan is scribbling on. some of them look familiar, but then raihan draws . . . well.
lance's lips twitch, and it is very obvious that he is trying not to laugh, but he quickly hides it with a sip of bourbon (or whatever it is that blue gave him), clearing his throat because obviously, that is not funny.

Hijacking is a-ok
[Cole only spends so much time near Heavenly Blanc and even less inside. But he knows it's a place a lot of people like to go, and when he sees the invites he decides to head that way to see if it's happening now. Maybe he can learn more about how to help people here, that way.]
[Except on the way, he ends up sidetracked when he happens across creature he has not seen before, yet seems familiar in some ways...]
[Which is how he ends up walking into the bar/cafe with one of these tucked snugly in the crook of one arm.]
[Nothing unusual to see here, folks.]
2. wallflower
[At some point he lets the creature go meander outside in favor of focusing his attention on the people inside... or try to. Normally crowds aren't as much of an issue, but that's because he can usually move through them undetected. Now everyone can see him, and if he's not careful it's easy to get distracted by the overlapping conversations and activities (not to mention the low lighting) and accidentally bump into someone. The noise is both welcome and somewhat harrowing, as it covers up the unnatural silence but most of it blends together, making it meaningless. He can't process this the way he would their thoughts and emotions.]
[So he ends up finding a relatively unoccupied section of wall to put his back against and keep himself out of the way, fidgeting with his hands as he tries his best to listen for conversations he can focus on and try to filter out everything else.]
3. fresh air
[When it becomes a little too much to handle, he heads back outside. There are no doubt people out here as well, but at least it's more open and less dark. He moves around one side of the building for a little more seclusion... which is when he revisits a previous idea that he hasn't pursued yet. He still wouldn't be able to hear "normally," but with this many people here maybe he could listen in on some spoken conversations from up on the roof, and get a good view out of it as well? It shouldn't be too hard to climb, with all those pipes and such sticking out of it.]
[Up he goes.]
4. wildcard
[Follow your heart or hit me up on plurk @
2
Hey, thirsty? [Blue grins brightly, breaking through the hubbub and murmur of noise in the establishment, and holding out a glass. He doesn't give any indication as to what's in it, but it sure doesn't look like water. Then again, his tray seems to have a couple different drinks to choose from on it...]
You know, it's fine to take a breather, but don't you think you'll miss out if you just sit here the whole time?

Cloud Strife | Final Fantasy VII Remake
[ Well, damn it. He was hoping he could get out of doing this, but Tifa has her ways of being persuasive... which is all the more reason it should be her who's announcing this. Then again, it's only fair since it was Cloud who first brought the idea up... he shouldn't be making others do the legwork, but he's not sure how he feels about being the leader either. What would Barret do in his place? ... Yeah, he already knows what Barret would do.
After downing his shot of liquid courage in one go, Cloud stands up on top of the counter to gather everyone's attention. It's announcement time! ]
Everyone, listen up.
[ Is everyone even listening? Whether they are or not, he's already up on the counter (why?), which means he's gonna power through this whether everyone likes it or not. This is so embarrassing... ]
There's a beach just beyond the mountain, I'm sure many of you have already seen the piles of garbage there. We're... not sure where it comes from, but Tifa... I was thinking we gather up a crew to clean the place up. It's gonna take a lot of manpower and hours, but for now, time seems to be on our side.
If you find anything useful, you can keep it, the rest of the trash can be used to construct new things. And yeah, it would help if you know how to fight, but it's not necessary.
[ So, they'll need fighters, gatherers and crafters basically. Cloud doesn't need to explain how material and be broken down and rebuilt, he'll leave that to the experts if there are any. Honestly, he thinks they could even build an entire shantytown like the slums, but that's going to be a little bit harder to convince others if they've never seen it. ]
Uh... thanks.
[ That's as far as a Cloud Strife inspiring speech can go... now he hops off the counter and orders a second drink immediately. PHEW. Of course, he's open for further questions and just general chit-chat/theorycrafting! ]
no subject
[With a tray full of liquor-filled tumblers in hand, Blue raises them as if in a toast. Don't worry, they're not all for him.]
I'm in! I can't believe anyone'd leave such a pretty, natural place in such a state....
[Blue hands one of the glasses out to Cloud with a sunny grin. Sure, he just downed another glass, but... that only meant that it was empty and needed to be refilled. Right?] Here. After a speech like that, you probably need another sip, right?

Crystal Exarch | Final Fantasy XIV
[The Exarch is not one for social drinking for... well, several reasons, the largest of which being that alcohol does tend to loosen a man's tongue and cause the reveal of secrets best left unspoken. However, he sees no reason to avoid this little gathering if it means he can get to know the people around him, so he is quite happy to settle on non-alcoholic drinks as he observes quietly from a seat in the corner.
While in general he is quite happy to simply watch others amuse themselves and get to know each other, he is not going to avoid conversation if someone approaches him - the small figure in ornate robes, face hidden beneath his hood and one arm seemingly made of crystal. Anyone who does gets a smile.]
While I welcome the company, do not feel obliged to join me simply on account of my being alone.
2. ...the Wildcard Option.
[If you have any particular ideas for something with the Exarch, shoot me a prompt here or else hit me up on plurk at

[Flop right into the seat next to him, motioning for a drink. She'd been lurking in the corners for who knew how long. It looked like eventually she'd had enough of doing that sober and now she wanted something to lubricate the rest of the evening and make it tolerable.]
What do you wanna bet we're all expected to become good friends and bond before this is done?
...boy I'm going to be a disappointment there. How bout you, mister tall, mysterious and hooded?

Hornet | Thread-jacking welcome!
[Hornet regrets coming here. Hornet is not made for social gatherings. Hornet is made for two things; flitting mysteriously around corners, and putting the fear of god into strangers.]
[Neither of these are particularly polite, so she is forced to go around socializing until she grows sick. When that happens, she slips away to find a more comfortable spot.]
[By her standards, that is. Most people would not consider perching like a gargoyle on a metal pipe near the ceiling 'comfortable'. Hornet considers it an ideal spot both for observing the goings-on of the party, and for remaining unnoticed herself. Very few people think to look up. Thus, she is quite comfortable.]
[Those who do will likely be startled to find a blank white mask staring back at them, barely visible through the gloom. Don't worry, she's probably not a ghost.]
2. Outside
[Once she tires of haunting people inside, Hornet retreats to the outside of the building. By which I mean the roof.]
[Hornet stands at the edge of the roof, staring across the landscape. She hadn't visited this side of the mountain on her way down, and while she doesn't regret having spent so much time holed up in her city, the shifting greenery(?) is a sight to behold. It almost makes the trip worth it.]
[The wind is remarkably cooperative as well, just strong enough to lightly billow her cloak like she's some kind of anime protagonist. What a perfect time to brood— or perhaps, a perfect time to offer something to drink.]
3. Wild Card??
[Hornet may be approached in any number of locations around the cafe, but you had best believe she'll be brooding. Playing darts? Eyeing up the menus? Still deciding where best to hide? You name it!]

Parsee Mizuhashi | Touhou | OTA (Threadjacking welcome)
Parsee showed up. Who knows if she was invited or she just heard noises from her neighbor's place. That was really open to debate. Even with the arrival of the recent apartment complex, she was still living down by the river. It was her shrine, her bridge. That was where she was supposed to stay after all.
Either way, she showed up, and for the first two whole hours she found a corner to sit in and just watched people having fun. Occasionally, she bit her thumb. A grunt, a grumble, but she didn't say much. That might change if someone approached her, but really she seemed just fine contentedly lurking in the corner like a little imp.
Socializing, or Attempting to at Least
Eventually, she came to the bar. She motioned for a drink, pointing at something clear and grunting. It probably wasn't rice wine, but if it burned going down that was all she really wanted. She'd be in a little bit better mood. If anyone asked, she'd mutter something about being older than dirt and to respect their elders, before taking a sip. It wasn't like they had id cards to say she was over a thousand, but oh she was playing that one to the hilt.
After the second drink, she looked like she was finally starting to relax and grunted at the person next to her. "So why do you thin they picked us?" Because that'd been on her mind this whole time.
wallflower
He does see Parsee sitting in a booth, though. He takes off his apron for a second, announcing that he will return in a short time before sitting across from her.
He already knows she doesn't have to say anything, she will say it herself.)

Bowser of the Mario Series - I am OK with Thread Hijacking
As the party is beginning, Bowser bursts through the doors dramatically for no good reason. As he does so he speaks.
"Did somebody page the King of Awesome?" Or did he just show up without actually getting invited?
Chances are it's the latter.
II: Social
Later, Bowser is sitting at his chosen booth with some drink or another, depending on who gave it to him. Perhaps it's liquor, or maybe it's coffee, or there's the off chance he just has water.
Regardless, it comes to his attention that someone's staring at him. He can't quite make out the person by they're silhoette. So he asks "I'm guessing you haven't seen a Koopa Noble before?"
III: Drinks
Still later, Bowser finds himself at the bar. At the moment he's staring at an empty glass.
"You know," he says, "I wonder, 'cause of all the weird health stuff, if alcohol really does the same thing it normally does. Maybe, 'cause we don't need to eat and things don't seem to die, the limit to what people can take is different."
"Someone should really test this out."
IV: Games (open to up to 4 people)
Somehow, Bowser's acquired a deck of cards. And for some reason, it has not occurred to him that, due to wind conditions, out in the open on the table is not the best place for a deck of cards to be. Still, it evidently has not yet been much of a problem.
And so Bowser sits, now having returned to his booth, challenging those who pass by to a game of poker.
V: Information
Some time after the announcement, Bowser decides to dedicate time to exchanging information. He hates to admit it, but there's a complicated puzzle to be solved and he doesn't have all the pieces. So he finds someone to speak with on the matter.
"They said we're supposed to exchange what we know. So we should probably trade information on our dimensions."
ii
"Is that what your people call themselves? Koopa?"

[ ahsoka is not a drinker. both because she grew up in an order that didn't believe indulging in alcohol was proper, but also she was a child back then. considered a minor once she reveals her age, she instead gets given a virgin cocktail. it doesn't bother her even if she would like to try alcohol for the novelty, so she takes the drink without fuss. but after taking one sip her face sours and scrunches in a way that's cannily similar to someone tasting alcohol. ]
Eugh. Why is it so sweet?
game time - hijacking welcomed!
[ while the thought of playing strategy games is fun in theory, ahsoka knows herself. she hates to lose, and wouldn't do well playing a game she only barely grasps the basics of. she can't turn down another person's offer at a challenge because of her pride, but won't pose her own challenges for the same reason.
but she doesn't want to be a downer for the night. instead as the party goes on, she'll propose a game: ]
Does anyone want to play two truths and a lie? I'll volunteer to go first, if people are shy.
[ good way to learn about people and see who has a good poker face. ]
conspiracy theories hour - hijacking welcomed
[ this is an open prompt if anyone wants to respond to ahsoka's ideas for why they are all here, and the meaning of existence. tl;dr either they are in a computer simulation, or the planet is sentient and we're just walking on it with our shoes on. disrespectful either way really.
ahsoka is willing to discuss anything she put out further! maybe one day we'll get a conspiracy board imprint and she'll make a thing of it. ]
game time!
dragonite is in a nearby corner, but his attention is drawn to lance when he hears his voice, a warm: ]
I'll play.
[ it's a pretty quick agreement, mostly because lance (1) actually knows how this game works and (2) his life is so bizarre that he wins two truths and a lie pretty easily . . . in most circumstances. ]
And I will also take you up on your offer for you to go first, Miss -- ?
[ he should probably introduce himself, he thinks belatedly, but. whatever. ]

threadjacking ok for this post!
[Red ends up being dragged by the arm to this party by his good friend Blue, because there's no way he would have stuffed himself into a crowded bar of his own free will. He's released from his friend's grip not long after they're inside, at least, so Red wastes no time in taking refuge along the wall at the back of the restaurant. He can't stand crowds, especially in enclosed spaces, but since he has to be here he'll just be keeping this nice patch of wall warm while eavesdropping on as many conversations as he can, arms folded across his chest.
While Pikachu is not so opposed to the crowd, he remains loyally perched on his Trainer's shoulder. He knows how much Red hates large social gatherings and wants to do what he can to comfort him, occasionally patting the side of Red's head or rubbing his own furry head against the man's cheek, which are in turn met with pets and ear scritches.
If anyone chooses to approach them or blatantly stares in their direction, they'll be met with a neutral gaze from Red, accompanied by a lazy little wave if they're a familiar face. On the other hand, whether they're a stranger or not, Pikachu will always greet everyone enthusiastically.]
Pi~ka!!
ii. outdoor wallflowering
[Once Red has had his fill of being stuck in a rowdy bar and finds an opportunity to slip outside, he gladly does so. He knows that Blue will be upset if he leaves the area without him, so he resists the urge to retreat back into Mt. Silver and sits down at an empty outdoor table, intending to stay here until his friend comes out. Pikachu sits on the tabletop and enjoys receiving pets from his Trainer while Red ruminates on all the pieces of information he learned inside the bar and their situation in general. At least he seems a bit more relaxed, now that he's outside and in a quieter spot...]
iii. wildcard
[any other party-related things you want to do! hit me up at
i
[After leaving Red to his own devices for a decent enough while, Blue makes sure to check in on his old friend once there's a bit of a breather in the action. Most of the party-goers seem to have filtered in by now, and while Blue was diligently doing his volunteer duty of handing out the drinks from the bar, he had a bit of time to do his own mingling now, and the first order of importance is to see what Red had busied himself with in the meantime.]
[The answer, which he knew already, was not much of anything; it isn't like he expected Red to start throwing himself out into the crowd, but he's a little disappointed that he hasn't even left the same piece of wall.]
[So, he'll keep Red company for a while, sliding a juice over to the other man in an attempt to lift his spirits. Something sweet, to keep his energy up to bear the crowd.]
Don't you wanna meet some other folks around here? Make some new friends? [He asks with a bit of a hopeful tone, while reaching over to give Pikachu some good headrubs. Good work keeping him company, buddy!]

Open to all and to threadjacking
[With arms folded, eyes angled downward, and a stern look of disinterest plastered on his features Kaiba was keeping to himself as he leaned against a wall- which was getting to be his usual stance at the cafe. Although he didn't show it, he was listening intently to what the others had to say. So far it was just as useless as when he'd taken the time to speak to individuals directly but there were still some unique tidbits mixed in. For example, he was learning more about who recognized which features, and the other sorts of theories that were floating about.
No one seemed to have any idea what to do about it- however. That was the most frustrating part.
Giving it a little longer, Kaiba decided he could endure only so much and if things didn't turn around soon- he was out of here. It should be noted that he didn't offer up his own findings or theories. No, he was just here to receive more information not share it from his perspective.]
II. Games
[Watching some of the others attempting to play the Japanese-variant of chess was laughable. Amateurs. The rookie mistakes weren't encouraging him to volunteer, though he would have also loved to have taken them down a few pegs. Why even play if it wasn't for the purpose of winning? These clowns were just embarrassing themselves.
Not able to remain silent any longer he replied snidely] With moves like that, save yourself the trouble and forfeit.
---
His assessment of those playing darts wasn't much higher. The dim lighting coupled with the presence of alcohol was making the activity increasingly dangerous. Whoever thought the combination was a solid idea should get their head examined.]
Watch it! [Kaiba snarled, as one of the projectiles embedded itself in the floor a few centimeters from his boot.] You couldn't have been further from the target if you'd been actively trying. [Exchanging a few more verbal barbs it inevitably came down to the usual challenge. If you think you can do better..]
[Before the rebuttal could be completed in it's entirety Seto had deftly drawn a card out of his duel disk and flung it at the board. Slicing through the air, it struck dead center with perfect accuracy.] You were saying?
Games - darts, specifically
I-I'm sorry! I'm not really-
[He starts, but before he can finish, Kaiba's tossed a card at the board and embedded it into the center with such force Izuku is certain it would have taken somebody's eye out if it missed.]
-good...at darts...
Omg that face! Poor Izuku!
Kaiba is an Experience for Izuku

Open!
Still, there's something else about him that might seem off. While before he for the most part probably came across as cheerful and friendly, almost obnoxiously so, his attitude now seems much more subdued. Almost detached. Should someone approach him, he'll merely raise an eyebrow, giving an almost disinterested "Yes?"
Perhaps a little odd, that, to anyone who'd interacted with him much early on. Go figure!
A week late with Starbucks (Open, thread my jacks, etc)
Samuel hasn't eaten or drunk anything since he got here, having not felt hunger or thirst, and this party is no exception. If they eat or drink without needing to, and end up running out by the time they do actually need to eat or drink, then where will they be? Not to mention the idea of where it actually goes -- has anyone had to use the bathroom since coming here?
Still, he can be seen occasionally giving longing glances at the mocktails the younger ones might have around him. No, he's trying to conserve resources, he doesn't want a Roy Rogers, shut up!
Games
He does give the Shogi board a lookover, before shaking his head. Nope, never seen this before and have no idea how to play it.
That's what happens when the English dubbers try to scrub all the Japanese culture they can out of your anime."If only we had a deck of cards or something," he sighs, before turning to the pinball machines. These are close enough to a video game that he can figure them out, and it turns out, even in the dark, even with only using the flippers and not knowing that he can nudge the table to alter the ball's path... he's actually pretty good? No way to count points or anything, but it's a long while between lost balls. Flying Fingers Sammy strikes again!
Sketches
Samuel has his notebook out on the table in front of him, open for anyone to come and flip through and ask questions about his sketches. Without cameras, drawings are really the only way of recording visual information they have.
Alternatively, he might be working on a new one, looking at the nearest obvious non-human while he works without even bothering to hide what he's doing. If they seem amenable to it, he might even ask them to step outside so he can get better light.
Wildcard
((Come at me with something else? He's used to hosting parties not attending them okay.))
Games
Then he looked towards the source of the voice, wondering why it was vaguely familiar.
"Oh, it's you. Guess you didn't end up getting completely mauled by your lofty ideals afterall."
