🥂 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...

Aha!
[Blue's head whips around to send Lance an accusatory stare as- indeed- the pattern revealed over Raihan's chest almost perfectly matches the one on Lance's. His delighted stare whips back towards Raihan, joyously grinning up at him with mischief gleaming in his eyes.] Hahaha! I thought I recognized the design from somewhere!! What're you, some kinda dorky cosplayer!?
no subject
he's about to ask what when he tunes back into the conversation, and he blinks before glancing down at his own outfit. ]
That . . .
[ oh dear. and lance shrugs a little, sipping his drink]
I trained at Hammerlocke, when I was younger.
[ as if that explains.
literally fucking anything, lance. ]
no subject
When else am I gonna get an opportunity like this?
[ ...well, he's not sure what exactly to expect, but getting manhandled like this certainly isn't. he flinches when Blue yanks his uniform shirt down and his hoodie up, taking a grip onto his wrist. ] Woah, easy! If you wanted my shirt off, you could just ask.
[ his brow raises again, but this time in surprise. so Blue doesn't know... he glances at Lance for the explanation, but figures that it could use a little more elaboration. ]
Hammerlocke's had this uniform for decades. There's history behind it! [ he looks over at Lance for confirmation. ] I wasn't Leader when Lance came around to train, but the whole city was honoured when we got word that we left that much of a good impression.
[ a Champion from a foreign region decided to honour their uniforms - it caused quite the buzz, and Raihan is still proud of it! ]
no subject
I shoulda figured Mr. Caped Costume Nerd was wearing even more of a costume than I thought.... [Blue raises his hands in a shrug, then turns back to Raihan with a grin. Not that the hoodie was much better, but it was cute.] You guys in Galar have some weird taste, but I guess if you're a bunch of dragon dorks anyway, it makes sense.
....But, a challenge is a challenge, right? You better be ready when our Pokémon are restored, cuz I'm gonna show you why I'm the top Champ in Kanto. You'll be calling me senpai after I'm through with you!
[It's confident and cocky, but there's obvious enthusiasm behind it, and he has faith that Raihan, at least, will be an interesting battle. A style of battling from a region he hasn't been to before.... There's no way that'd be too boring, right?]
Better prepare yourself, dragon boy!
no subject
the back and forth is familiar, though lance is pretty sure he is (1) the longest-standing champion of johto or kanto and (2) by far the most decorated. but saying that will only add fuel to the fire, and honestly, it doesn't really matter that much anyway. so lance lets blue and raihan have their little rival-off before he decides to interject. ]
Hammerlocke is a beautiful city, full of history. It has a long-standing and proud tradition, for Dragon-type trainers. So being invited to learn was an honor for me, not the other way around.
[ and he inclines his head toward blue, though he's still speaking to raihan, his tone a little more knowing. ]
The Indigo Plateau is a little less steeped in history and glamour than its neighboring regions. Because both Johto and Kanto challenge the Plateau, we must be prepared for a large multitude of technique, and focus on the battle, not the performance. [ is that shade? that might be shade. but it's clearly meant in warmth, the good-old fashioned art of shit-talking. ] But nonetheless, we still carry the proud tradition of being the best, and thus most challenging, League in the world.
[ he might disapprove of blue's general showboating, but he has a battle persona just like everyone else, thank you very much, and kanto/johto are still the greatest, tyvm.
(truthfully, lance is most interested to see if blue can win. lance is familiar with galar, and the battle techniques taught at hammerlocke, but blue is not. which is likely what is making the challenging so exciting for him.) ]
I look forward to your challenge, Gym Leader Raihan.
no subject
Yeah, we'll see about that. [ ever the cool head, his smirk remains small, but enticed. so even Lance is getting into it, huh? ] It's not a proper Galarian battle if you aren't reeling by the end. If you think we're show without substance, you've both got another thing coming.
[ he might be outnumbered, but Raihan has full intention of doing his region proud. he so hyped up, he wishes they could just head outside and battle right now! ] Yeah, same to you.
no subject
You best not lose to an up-and-comer in your own specialty, [He chastises, but he seems pleased enough by that grin. He got to hear Lance talk shit!!] When I finally have a reason to actually cheer you on!
[This is gonna be fun.... super fun!! It's a shame none of them can battle right away, but at least it's something to look forward to, in this boring place. And he can start thinking of strategies right away, since Lance was familiar enough with the region's battling style.]
[If he didn't hold out.]
Oookay, time for me to get back to work! If either of you want another drink, don't be shy to flag me down. [He winks to Raihan.] Especially you, dragon boy.
[He grabs his tray and slides out from the table by them.] Smell ya later...!
no subject
He is a good kid.
[ as if that needs . . . explaining. which, you know, it probably does, as blue is three drinks deep and unnecessarily bartending. blue oak can be a lot, but it seems like raihan can deal with his nonsense just fine.
. . . at any rate, he sips his drink. ]
But in all seriousness, I do look forward to your challenge.
[ warmly, with a slight inclination of his head toward dragonite, who huffs him agreement. ]
I don't get the opportunity to battle many Dragon users, in Kanto or Johto. The only ones who really master the art are in Blackthorn, and I'm afraid I've run out of options, there.
[ also, clair just gets pissed when he wins. ]
And, as you can imagine, not very many people make it to the Plateau itself. A good challenge is hard to come by; I trust you'll give me one.
