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!

[ Great. More new terms to learn... he'll have to add these to his ever growing list when he gets the chance to do so. ]

But seeing as you're not in "hell", there's no reason to guard the people who cross it, is there?

[ It's just a regular old bridge now, or so he assumes. ]

[bridge_princess]

Eh? [She blinked. Oh, right. He probably didn't understand...]

I guarded a bridge long before it was in hell. It's just what we do. I don't know that I need to be there all the time, not here, but telling one of my kind to not guard a bridge is kind of like telling a fish not to breathe water.

We're going to do it anyway. It's not a big deal. It feels more natural to have one. Looks less silly than me making one over a little brook just to have one.

[Which she absolutely would have done.]

[memorate]

No, I get it. There's some things you just gotta do, right?

[ If nothing else, just to hold on to one's sanity. There's no reason for Tifa to be serving drinks here, but Cloud understands why she's doing it. If anything, he's a little envious that others can do some things here that they could do back home. There's not a lot of work for him in the void, in comparison. ]

Here's to your new hell. [ He raises his glass in a very half-assed toast. ]

[bridge_princess]

[Tifa serving drinks at a bar where nobody was paying because there was no money, just to keep sane? Yeah, Cloud pinned it down right there. Besides the fact that it was spiritually tied to the kind of shade that she was, that was exactly why she squatted by the bridge. It was a sense of normalcy in a world that was anything but. She nodded to him, the agreement clear there and raised her glass to give it a quick clink, just as half-hearted.]

Here's to the new one not being filled with drunk oni and run by someone who can read your mind. That'd be an improvement.

[She took a sip.]

So, since we're chatty... what's your place like?

[memorate]

[ Mind reading oni... Cloud has enough one demon too many occupying his mind already, he wouldn't like the idea of another one just poking around in there. ]

Not much to say. Just a dying planet being bled dry by her people. Don't suppose there's an afterlife for dead stars, too.

[bridge_princess]

Hah. You're asking above my paygrade there. [She snorted.] But I suppose if the star's got a soul like some folks think? Sure, why not.

...

Your world kind of sounds like the one outside of Gensokyo. They just haven't bled it dry yet.

[Getting a little political there, Parsee.]
