🥂 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! |

I can watch and listen, from there.
[Also he just likes high places sometimes, but that's not important.]
no subject
I don't know what you're looking for, but please be careful.
[ They were repeating themselves, but repeating that point seemed like a good idea. Were they going to idle around just in case, though? Absolutely. ]
no subject
[On the other hand... he can't make them forget he's here, and it looks like they're planning to stay there. He could ignore them, but he wouldn't feel great knowing they're just waiting for him to come back down.]
[In the end, he climbs back down, dropping down near the end to land on his feet and face Turing.]
I don't have to do it right now.
[There are a lot of people here for this event of sorts, but they're mostly inside anyway. He can go up there whenever he wants. For now, instead, maybe he can learn more about this person.]
My name is Cole. What's yours?
[It's almost like he can hold a conversation like a normal person.]
no subject
My name is Turing. [ If nothing else, Turing seemed to believe they were a totally normal person. Well, except for the roof climbing, maybe. That was a bit unusual. ]
I like your hat!
no subject
[The hat compliment is also unexpected. No one's complimented his hat before.]
I like it too. Thank you. You have an interesting face.
[He means it honestly, in a good way, I promise...]
no subject
[ No, really, they couldn't tell if that was a compliment or not. Instead of letting it go and perhaps giving that a chance to fester, their curiosity won out instead.
Though the slight sheepishness still remained. ]
It's interesting in a good way, I hope.
no subject
[Here, at least, where they can see him and his antics.]
no subject
Is it...strange to be worried?
no subject
[To his now much more limited knowledge, though people don't usually try that hard to hide it if they're scared of him.]
It's backwards. I want to help, but now people see me and they worry like I'm a person, like they want to help me.
[A terrible fate.]
no subject
I see. In that case, if you feel strongly about not receiving help, I will update my protocols to reflect that. I must admit that have...mixed feelings, but I wouldn't want to force my aid onto you if it makes you uncomfortable.
[ They would almost certainly have regrets about that, but only because telling them not to help went against their personality profile in pretty much every possible way. ]
no subject
I don't think it makes me uncomfortable. But... it's strange. It's not usually like this.
no subject
[ Turing was trying to think about what that could mean ahead of time. They could run simulations and take an educated guess, but they only had so much information to go on, especially without mesh access. ]
no subject
[That's not always true, since he joined the Inquisition. But it's generally how things go. It's a whole different story here, where no one forgets him.]
no subject
[ The words tumbled out without Turing thinking twice. The thought of being remembered by both people and ROMs for facilitating The Awakening and nothing else was a chilling one indeed. It wasn't exactly the same as Cole's situation, but it certainly did colour their perception of it. ]
There are things I want to say, but they would all count as helping.
[ Arghhhhh. Making that promise was the right thing to do, but it was frustrating in its own way. ]
no subject
[Hurting others, or himself.]
[Turing may not look like any person Cole has met before, but he's sure they must be one, to say things like that.]
You can say what you think. I would like to hear it.
[It would be very helpful, actually, since he can't hear it the "normal" way. He doesn't mind being helped if it helps him to help someone else, of course.]
no subject
[ They waited a moment. Knowing what to say was one thing, but actually saying it out loud to someone was entirely another. ]
It's very kind of you to want to help others, but I hope you're being kind to yourself as well. Based on what I know about human psychology, self-care is very important.
