Heavenly Blanc Void Party

[starshower]

🥂 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!

Isn't everyone, to some degree? [that, he's still not comfortable getting into with Akechi, if only because, regardless of whether or not he is, he'd have to be upfront about -- well, a lot of things. maybe next time. maybe if and when Akechi ever finds out he's not as noble or good as he pretends to be] But you're young. You probably don't have many regrets, yet.

[beyond not being able to stab his father, or whatever fate he had in mind for him, but you don't need a fresh start for that]

[The irony of Damien's statement makes him laugh, again covered behind a polite hand. Regrets, huh...? He has more than most people his age, but also, in spite of everything he'd done, he only regrets how the path had started. After a certain point, the cost of what's already been done simply became justification to hurl him further and faster down that path, until he didn't have time for regrets anymore.

No one cared when he was hurting. Why should he care about the people he hurt?]

Perhaps not. I've heard that the pain of regret fades with time, as well, so I suppose there is that to look forward to. It seems as though right now, time is the only resource we have in abundance.

Still, I'll admit it is refreshing not to be burdened with the expectations that I'd grown accustomed to.

[he regrets not killing Aiden, once he realized he couldn't control him. he regrets teaming up with him in the first place. he regrets never getting his hands on the Bellweather. he regrets -- well, this isn't really about regrets. it's about dodging the question, as to what he'd need a fresh start from, and mission accomplished]

[he nods, that in mind] I imagine it gets tedious, being in the spotlight, all the time. [he's sure it's fun, to a point, that prestige, the masses fawning, but dodging the paparazzi would get old when it started getting invasive.]
