Heavenly Blanc Void Party

[starshower]

🥂 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!

"How else do you expect me to enter? I have to drop down somewhere."

[A very straightforward reason... though the reasons for having been on the ceiling in the first place are rather more complicated to explain. So she doesn't, instead taking a seat and folding her hands neatly in her lap. She doesn't regard Akechi as a threat in the slightest.]

"Regardless, I would like to discuss what I might stand to gain if I were to lend my aid. Seeing as most present seem to be quite unarmed."

[simulatio]

[Does she really. Akechi bites back the sarcastic response he wants to give and sublimates it with a smile, choosing to focus on the matter at hand. If she wants to drop down from the ceiling, fine. He'll just have to be more vigilant in noticing where people are.]

There are all sorts of arguments to be made about what one gains from a relationship such as this. Friendship, for example. Allies you can rely on.

[But someone who drops down from the ceiling and launches right into a discussion of the benefits isn't going to be interested in something as trite as the power of friendship. Akechi sits opposite her, resting his elbow on the bar, chin in his hand.]

People may have talents and weapons that you cannot see, even from your lofty perch. We've been trapped in a world that defies explanation; wouldn't it be a shame if someone learned evidence that could point the way home, and neglected to share it with you? I'm sure you have important matters to return to, as do we all. Allying with the people here and sharing information is the most logical course of action.

Even the most capable warrior can be overwhelmed when fighting alone.

[And that, he has practical experience with. It isn't too long ago that he'd have spurned any attempt at help and went it alone, and in some respects, he's still doing that. But using people for his own ends? Well, that's just normal.]
