🥂 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! |

blue says he's an adult, but his love for coolness and adventure (leo guesses, judging from his interest in the mystery) seems to be rather youthful.....
not that that's a bad thing. it's like the fact that he's even humoring leo here. if anything, it makes blue a little more endearing. and funny. ]
I'd say it's pretty hard to know everything about the world, even ones that aren't weird and kidnap-y... Still, I'm not gonna call anything impossible.
[ so, yeah, that is a pain in the butt possibility.
he thinks on it a little more, humming, his fingers drumming against the surface of the table to match. ]
If we're gonna think about it like that, it'd be easier if we did something absurd like label the world Known and Unknown at the same time! There was something with a cat that was like that once, I think! Mmmm, it was... Schoom, Schom, Schro-- Schrödinger's cat? So, if this world was known and unknown at the same time, it's Schrödinger's world!
[ this is absolutely how it works
except it isn't, but look, leo doesn't care ]
... Or the Known and Unknown World, but I'm gonna bite my tongue saying that too much.
no subject
I think the name would fit okay, if we at least figure out what our basic situation is, here. Right? Like, how we got here, and why we're here..... stuff like that is close enough, right?
[Blue tilts his head at the strange name that Leo is trying to recall- he's never heard of anything like that.] Shoedinger's Meowth?? No idea about that, but maybe you should just get better at tongue twisters.
[Speaking of ...being "rather youthful". If that's what you want to call it.]
Buuuut, if you had to pick, would you pick 'Known', or 'Unknown'?
no subject
Neither!
[ --of course he's not gonna give a flippin' easy response when something else caught his attention. "had to pick", blue says, and leo goes on ahead and just ignores the most important part of the question entirely in favor of: ]
I'm on Shoedang's Mouth! [ ... ] ... Mm, wait, that's not... Shoedinger's Meouch?! Whatever it was, how am I not supposed to get stuck on funny nonsense like that? You totally butchered it into gibberish!
[ he says, while butchering it ]
no subject
What do shoes have to do with this!
[So this is going well]
[Blue huffs, tilting his head up with an air of authority. That's it, let's all be a little more Serious now!] Okay, okay, forget that one- there's no Meowth here anyway. Known World... or Unknown World, or both- those are okay ideas so far, right?
[Blue grabs a piece of paper from the table nearby, and starts to scratch down possible names.] Oh, and of course, my cool idea, Tohjo....
--Hey, what's your world called, anyway? It's not something dumb like Shoemaker's Meowth, is it?
no subject
[ blue???? you're confused??? i'm confused. we're all confused. this is going so well.
okay, let's just move on to his question... can't be shook from the lack of braincells in the face of your own lack of braincells, if you stick to questions that are simple and clean. ]
... Mmmm, but, it's Earth! Is that yours too? Tohjo sounds kinda Japanese, so I was thinking maybe you're also Japanese...
[ like a lot of people here?? apparently?? ]
no subject
[But his brilliant idea was included, see? Tohjo. Right there. He doesn't get it. He doesn't get it at all.]
[Haha Leo you fool, you thought this was a simple question but GAMEFREAK HAS NEVER NAMED THE PLANET OR THE COUNTRY KANTO IS IN you absolute madman]
Huh? What's a Japanese? I'm Kantonian. [This is the best he can do for you, my lad, but at least Kanto in real, right?]
[As long as you have no follow-up questions, yes.]
Oh, but Earth is good and simple. Let's write that one down, too!
no subject
this is probably what people feel like with him. wow, wild! ]
I didn't wanna say it again but I gotta: huh??
[ so much goddamn HUH ]
First: don't borrow the name from another world to name this one! That's also false advertising! [ they're DIFFERENT. ] Second: what kinda Kanto are you from?! That's totally Japanese, unless the Earth changed while I was gone...! Ahh, what the heck?!
[ HUH!!!!! ]
no subject
Huh!?
[HUH!!]
What's the problem with borrowing another name?? Are you saying two places or two people can't have the same name!? You should learn to share, you and your planet, hmph!
And I don't know what you're talking about, Kanto is Kanto! It's a seaside region on a huge island, with a big mountain to the west!
[So, you know, Japan. Blue points a finger, as if they can see Mt. Silver through the wall of the café, towering over them to the north (or up? what are directions here).] That mountain, right there. Um, or I guess, the same one, but not that exact one? Aahh, it's complicated, because I don't know where this place is!
[The struggle is real]
no subject
[ H U H
he doesn't mind borrowing names! borrowing names is fine! but applying something else to something it's not is just cheating and absolutely mad? words are confusing enough, why try to make it even more confusing?
when you do that, you get stuff like this! like this conversation! it's BAD! he just described japan! but he called it kanto, which is in japan! but it's not japan! leo doesn't even care about names usually, it's just-- what the heck.
his forehead is just gonna go to the table. ]
Grrrr, no more! My head hurts! I'm calling a break --- King's orders! Or, um, well, I'm not a King anymore... Ah, you messed me all up!
no subject
Hmph, that's why you should leave important stuff like that to adults.
[Which for some reason, Blue still thinks includes him.]
[It's Japan, but it's not Japan, so that describes it exactly. You got it, Leo! You just don't know it. Blue watches his head thud on the table dramatically, and crosses his arms.]
Boy, there sure are a lotta so-called 'kings' around here... At least you're not a Pokémon, too.
[This makes no sense out of context and he's not going to explain it!!]
no subject
but not actually. leo adjusts himself a bit so his chin sits on the table instead, his gaze curious. what else were they talking about? all he knows is that blue's said something new, and he always wants to hear about these novel things from people's worlds that he has nooo idea about-- ]
I said I'm not a King anymore!
[ he adds in first, because that's also a thing that makes no sense out of context and he's also not going to explain it. ]
Not like it matters right now! You sure said something interesting there...! What's a Pokémon? Sounds kinda like D*g*mon!
[ i can do this because we don't have digimon characters ]
no subject
[Blue waves a dismissive hand, and pouts. Pokémon are more interesting to talk about anyway, although sheesh, he's had to explain them so many times by now! Maybe he should just write a cheat sheet for people....]
[--Although that's the first time someone has mentioned something similar in response. Hmmmm.] What's that....? Well, anyway, Pokémon are Pokémon. [Helpful.] Monsters, wildlife.... Some people around here said there's things called 'animals' that are similar, where they live.
You know what an 'animal' is? Well, Pokémon are that, but smarter and cooler. Like Eevee and Pikachu, there. [He points across the room to where his and Red's Pokémon were hanging out on a table, nibbling on some snacks.]
no subject
... but okay, leo gets it! he's ignoring the king comment because right now!! this is so cool!! and they can get to that all later. "pokemon are pokemon" was absolutely the worst, but finishing it up with they're animals is infinitely more valuable to leo's one braincell.
looking at pikachu and eevee, however, he can only think... ]
Soooo... D*g*mon! [ no, ] Though they look more cute than cool? Definitely more fluffy than Ag*mon. Not that I mind! Fwuffy and adowable isn't a bad thing!
[ after all, he is truly the Authority On Cool, saying this all in a baby voice and shuffling on over to the edge of his seat to get a closer look at eevee and pikachu. ]
Hey, can I say go say hi? That okay?
no subject
[Even though Ag*mon is totally Charmander, clearly Leo just needs to see Charmander.]
[And Eevee and Pikachu are fluffy and adorable! Blue will never deny that. Blue gets up to cross over to their table... Red must be here somewhere, too, but for now Pikachu and Eevee are all theirs!]
This's my partner, Eevee! [Blue gives his littlest BFF a good ruffle to his furry ears. Eevee cheerfully looks Leo up and down, like he's deciding whether this sucker will be good for attention and food. Pikachu, meanwhile, gives a friendly wave and toddles right up to greet Leo with a 'Pika!'] And Pikachu is Red's partner.... Um, if you see the quiet guy in the red cap, that's my best friend back home.
[Oh... did Blue give his own name yet? Probably not, huh?] I'm Blue, by the way.
no subject
Mmm, he's not really an Ag*mon, I think? His name was just Ag*mon, and he's like... orange-ish and dino-like! I haven't looked at him in a while.
[ because leo obviously hasn't watched the movies or the reboot, it's fine. how dangerously can i toe this line.
anyway, approaching the table, leo's focus immediately goes on eevee and pikachu. is he absolutely failing to give his own name in return for blue giving his own? yeah, sorry. they're cute, he's distracted.
leo outstretches a hand tentatively, wondering if he can give pikachu or eevee a little pet on the head? ahh, maybe he'll settle for a wave instead, as he looks up at blue.
something just clicked belatedly there, actually. ]
Ah, wait... You said Blue and Red! You guys meant to be or something?
[ oh no
does leo tsukinaga mean this seriously, or is this some kind of amused jab as he just goes right back to eevee and pikachu and lifts his hand up again a little. ]
no subject
[Blue is certainly picturing a certain Pokémon right now, though it's not what you might think.] --You should see one of the Pokémon, outside. I think Dragonite might be just what you're describing!
[He tried, anyway. It's easy to just forget about whoever else is around when there's a cute Pokémon in your sights, and that's a feeling that any Pokémon trainer can relate to. Pikachu bumps his head right up into Leo's hand cheerfully, and Eevee walks over to peer up and wiggle his ears and tail cutely, begging for pets. Who are you gonna pet first, Leo!!]
Huh? Ah... [Don't worry, Blue's used to that question- his eyes fall a little as he sighs.] Don't joke around............ Our moms were lame, that's all.
[So like, yes.]
no subject
but, um, he doesn't have to choose between eevee and pikachu fortunately... he has two hands, you see! so he's definitely petting both simultaneously now that he sees it's okay, as his gaze goes carefully towards blue. why does he look so hit by that? was it 'cause it was a lame joke? like when someone says a bad pun, and you just kinda sigh--
mmm... ]
... Y'probably get that all the time, right? Or did I hit somewhere complicated clumsily again...? You said best friends, so I thought-- [ he has the decency to at least sound mildly sheepish at that, but then he just goes more indepth and Makes It Worse. he'll shake his head and cut himself off there. ] Whoops, whoops! I should've focused on just petting these two cuties instead of opening my mouth and saying something cliché, wahaha! Okay, zip it, me!
[ yes, petting intensifies to get away from his social faux-pas. here, here, pikachu, get a scratch under the chin-- and eevee, a little rub behind the ears!! ]
