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!

Jealousy?

[The question leaves him before he can think better of it, that it might not be something he should just be asking about outright...but he's curious. Especially when she mentioned having powers that don't work.]

Well I'm a spirit of jealousy, so there's going to be a lot of it. That's kind of a given in and of itself. It's the nature of my power, and if those are active, it makes other people more jealous around me, and tends to make me more jealous.

Ooh...I had no idea.

[Izuku frowns a little, thoughtful...though more over their conversation now than Shogi. It may be Parsee's chance to take the upper hand, if she cares about that sort of thing.]

I wonder...how this place could take a power like that away. It seems more like a feeling than an ability...

That's the thing. I don't think it's actually been taken away. I think it's just... suppressed. I mean, think about it.

It's like this place jut figured out wind is a thing. It probably has no clue how to handle anything weird we can do. So it hasn't figured us out yet.

[You know...]

If that's the case, that's encouraging. It would be similar to how Fellden handled powers...our Quirks came back slowly over time as the world acclimated to us. Maybe it will be the same here?

That's possible... though I don't know this Fellden place. That where you're from?

[A pause...]

And it might not be entirely good. You wouldn't want mine to be on.

It's...not where I was from originally, actually. But yes.

[He inclines his head, slightly. He'll explain further, should she ask.]

Ah, yeah...I guess not. Still though, it's something to be prepared for in case it does happen.

You make it sound ... bigger than a country I guess? Is this not the first time you've been to a strange place that isn't your home?

[She was pretty good at reading people. Something in the way he'd said Fellden clued her into the possibility. And if there was one place like this? Why not more? there was either only ever one, or countless ones.]

I've been thinking about that. I might go hide under my bridge until I get it together.

It's not. The first was a place called Fellden. A world between worlds.

[He makes another move.]

I've told a couple people about it by now when they asked, but...I'm from Japan, normally. Fellden was ruled by gods, and a priestess and emperor with far greater powers than the people they brought there for help. They asked us to help them save Fellden since it acted as a sort of...anchor keeping all of our home worlds together. I was brought onto the side of the Court of Stars.

[He shifts to roll up his sleeve, showing her a tattoo on his right bicep. The constellation Gemini.]

But the Emperor and Priestess couldn't agree on the right way to govern the world in an effort to save it...so both sides were at war. That's what was happening before I found myself here.

That honestly sounds like the kind of idiocy gods would get up to. Arguing about how to run things and dragging other people into it.

[It sounded like another Monday in Gensokyo, which meant it sounded really really irritating. But definitely a primer for being in strange worlds. She glanced at the symbol and nodded. She knew the constellation... or at least the star configuration. Asian astrology was a bit different after all.]

So, you've got a bit of experience with this crap, only this place is like standing in the unused clay of a world not formed.

...

I remember about you being Japanese, though. You at least know what I am, heh.

[Izuku nods, rolling his sleeve back down to his wrist.]

Mm. Fellden at least was an actual place...with towns, and locals, and it's own magic. This...I still don't know what we can call this world. I've never experienced anything like it.

... I've got suspicions. But I'm not sure I want to give voice to them, because the ones I didn't share make me really uncomfortable, and might feed a few egos here.

[She knew creation myths. They were all filled with colossal dumbfuckery as gods figured out how things were supposed to work... This felt like the birthplace of 'something.' And she didn't want people thinking they were gods.]

[That's only mildly concerning.]

I understand. Speculation hasn't really helped us much so far anyway, besides giving us different things to think about. I thnk we'll probably have a better idea of what's going on after more time has passed...and more things have appeared, maybe.

This is more or less a meet and greet. A chance for all of you to get to know each other, since you'll be working together to figure this all out probably.

[See what she did there, excluding herself? She thinks she's so clever.]

[Nice try, Parsee. Izuku looks back up at her after he makes his next move. Hard to say who's winning.]

Just us? And what about you?

[Probably him. She was forgetting that she was playing for real as the two of them talked. She tapped one of the captured pieces on the table while thinking of how to respond.]

I don't expect to be part of your solution. That would be very unlikely for me.

Maybe...but I do think the others would appreciate your input, too. I know I would.

[Don't be a hermit, Parsee.]

If you decide that would ever be likely for you, that is.

...

[She sighed as she made her move, this one a suddenly decent one for the first time in like six moves, delaying the inevitable for a bit longer]

I get it. You guys are going to involve me. I'm ok with it, I think... maybe. I'm just not used to it. That's all.

[It's fine, that just means they can Talk more.]

Sorry. I guess a lot of us are just...that type of person to want to include everyone, you know?

I think this place needed a lot of those types to make it all work together. Can you just imagine what would have happened if we'd been at each other's throats to start?

...

Actually, that would have been funny in a way.

[HE ISN'T SURE HE AGREES...but he's smiling all the same as he moves his next piece.]

It would have made things a lot more difficult, that's for sure. But I think everybody realizes that to have things work here, we're going to need to work together.

Yeah... funny isn't the same thing as 'good.' It would have been a pain in the neck, I'll say that. [She grunted.] Even if I could have gotten a chuckle... this is better.

Mm...I guess that also depends on what you'd consider funny, in this case.

[There are some oddities here that could maybe be considered humorous, if it weren't so inconvenient.]

I'll admit. Youkai can have a dark sense of humor from time to time. Kind of goes with the territory. We laugh at normal jokes, but we laugh at other stuff too.

[Yeah, cause youkai could be awful creatures.]

Dare I ask?

["Other stuff" sounds like it could be morbid.]
