🥂 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!

HOO BOY so first, it should be noted that Merlin's not going to volunteer much information, unless it's to coax stuff out of someone else, because he's just like that. On the other hand, if someone actually asks and is reasonably polite about it/will actually listen if it ends up being a thing that requires a more detailed explain, here's what he's got:

There are people here from different worlds. He actually thinks this is important, because it suggests that whatever's going on is pretty darn large in scale. He came to this conclusion by the fact that some of the creatures present or described by others simply don't exist on the Earth he's from, and there's very little that he'd know absolutely nothing about on that front. As to why he considers this proof, it's because parallel worlds can't exist that diverge too strongly on certain key points; getting a full explanation beyond that would require catching him in JUST the right mood though so I won't bother writing that up. Just suffice it to say he's convinced.

Magic/powers/etc are not functional. Merlin will present this as fact, but will primarily say he's heard other people mention it. If pressed he'll admit he can't detect any magical energy to draw on for spells himself, but won't mention any other powers he possesses for now.

He suspects that there isn't anything in this world (other than the void) that's not somehow connected with a person who's found themselves stranded here. This just based on his conversations with several people and the weird, mashed together nature of everything. In other words, it's all essentially being sourced from, well, outside sources.

He doesn't currently believe it's a simulation because of the fact that people are from different worlds. Possibly the result of some kind of interdimensional experiment, sure that's possible, but anything capable of pulling people from multiple worlds seems like wasted potential on a mere simulation. He absolutely doesn't think it's a dream because he would (presumably) know if it were, dreams are his natural turf! Incubus heritage and all that.

He hasn't seen anything he specifically recognizes, other than of course he knows what giraffes and rabbits and such are!

He's calling the cabbitbirds "skvader" unless someone else comes up with a better name for them! It's just the name of a rabbit/bird hoax some dude came up with once so Merlin thinks it's both funny and fitting.
