Heavenly Blanc Void Party



🥂 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 guess it looks like that, doesn't it? [ he smirks. ] I can't speak for the other guys, but I have a feeling they're in the same boat as me. We all have other Pokémon, but for some reason we can't call on them right now.

[ to confirm that, he reaches into the pocket of his uniform shorts and takes out five round objects with a black and yellow design that fit into the palm of his hand. ]

Trainers can carry up to six Pokémon with them at any given time. When they're not out and about, we keep them in their Poké Balls, like these.

(Did Raihan just grow a second head or is Ren just very confused?

He looks at the Pokéballs, fighting the will to take them in his hands. Wouldn't be polite to! They're someone's house... Apparently...?

This raised more questions than answered them.)


... But Raihan-san. How...?

(How are they fed? Do they have a little house? Do they become tiny? What...?)

[ it's a little weird to see someone so confused at seeing a regular ol' Ultra Ball, but it's just another exercise in trying to understand what it might look like to someone unfamiliar with Pokémon as a whole. it's starting to make him realize how much he takes technology for granted! ]

I dunno the deep science of how it works, but essentially the Ball converts the Pokémon into data that can be stored and moved around. It replicates a comfortable environment for them, so they're nice and cozy while we travel around! Convenient, right?

[ essentially, they don't need to be fed. it's like a dormant state that still maintains their consciousness... or something. it's complicated! ]

(... He tries to follow, but again, the cultural shock gets to him for a second. Technology seems very advanced for them, and there goes a whole new string of questions forming in his head... That he might not ask for now! Raihan must be tired from explaining all this, specially if there are other more curious people around who would also take an interest.

He does have a last question for the time being.)


Sounds like it. Why is Duraludon not in one?

(Just so he knows!)

Great question! It's probably the same reason why the other guys have their Pokémon out, too.

[ he turns his back to the bar to face the crowd, pointing them out for Ren. obviously Dragonite sticks out, but he also gestures at the two smaller Pokemon that Red and Blue have on their shoulders. ]

You've seen them, right? Pikachu, Eevee, and Dragonite. All of us showed up here with one Pokemon out each, but the rest of them are stuck in their Poké Balls... there's no safer place for them to be, but it's still kind of a bummer.

[ he wants to see his friends, damn it! even just having Flygon out would make things easier; at least he could get a bird's eye view of things... he sighs, but it quickly turns back into a neutral smile. ] I'll be sure to introduce you to my team once they're all out and about! They're a great bunch!

You must miss them.

(As of now, Ren hadn't spoken to Lance, but he should pretty soon! But of course he sees the seemingly harmless, however huge dragon lurking around. It looks like a plushie...)

I'd love to meet them.

(Obviously, Pokémon are very foreign to him still, but so far, he seems to get along with them and they spark a child-like curiosity within Ren... He can't even imagine how they'd look like.)

Thank you for telling me all this.

(He absolutely means it and there's a smile on his lips when he says it. It must be dragging having to explain this to everyone, so he truly appreciates that Raihan and the other Pokétrainers took the time to do so for him.)
