🥂 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! |

Crystal Exarch | Final Fantasy XIV
[The Exarch is not one for social drinking for... well, several reasons, the largest of which being that alcohol does tend to loosen a man's tongue and cause the reveal of secrets best left unspoken. However, he sees no reason to avoid this little gathering if it means he can get to know the people around him, so he is quite happy to settle on non-alcoholic drinks as he observes quietly from a seat in the corner.
While in general he is quite happy to simply watch others amuse themselves and get to know each other, he is not going to avoid conversation if someone approaches him - the small figure in ornate robes, face hidden beneath his hood and one arm seemingly made of crystal. Anyone who does gets a smile.]
While I welcome the company, do not feel obliged to join me simply on account of my being alone.
2. ...the Wildcard Option.
[If you have any particular ideas for something with the Exarch, shoot me a prompt here or else hit me up on plurk at

[Flop right into the seat next to him, motioning for a drink. She'd been lurking in the corners for who knew how long. It looked like eventually she'd had enough of doing that sober and now she wanted something to lubricate the rest of the evening and make it tolerable.]
What do you wanna bet we're all expected to become good friends and bond before this is done?
...boy I'm going to be a disappointment there. How bout you, mister tall, mysterious and hooded?
no subject
Perhaps not ‘close friends’, but I’m certainly not here to make any enemies.
no subject
[She laughed at that thought, shaking her head and grinning almost wickedly over at him.]
I do think they want folks on the same page a lot. Wonder how well that'll go for them.

Who said anything about feeling obligated?
[She winks at him and twirls the empty glass in her fingers, the ice clinking gently against the inside.]
You looked like you could use a refill. What kind of barmaid would I be if I ignored it?
no subject
[He’ll gladly accept the drink with a grateful smile.]
It must be strange for you, running a bar in a land with gratitude as the only currency. I believe all here appreciate it.
no subject
It is a little weird, yeah, but money's not why I did it back home.
[The smile she already wears warms a touch as cheers ring out from the dart board. Someone get a bullseye, maybe?]
This is why I did it. So people had a place to go when they needed to have a good time, or relax, y'know? Good to know that people still appreciate it, though.
[She bumps her shoulder against his.]
What about you? Are you having a good time?
no subject
Oh, yes. It must not look it, lingering at the edge of the room as I am, but I am perfectly content to watch as others get to know one another... full glad am I to see them getting along.
no subject
[No fights will be breaking out here, or else she'd be siccing Cloud on them! Not that she couldn't handle it, but one look from him did the trick back in Sector Seven.
Tifa eyes him through the corners of her eyes, her stare very obviously wandering to the top of his head, where the elephant in the room currently sits. She'd seen the ears before, when he had been passing in front of Heavenly Blanc and the wind had blown his hood off, but she had been too preoccupied to say anything about it then.]
Sooo, if we're all getting to know each other better… what's up with the ears?
[Just gonna come right out and say it! She likes to think she has enough rapport with the people here to be able to. He hadn't shared information about his arm, but the ears don't seem like there's much to them besides "what are they?"]
no subject
[Again? Really? Have people really never seen miqo'te? A puzzled frown crosses his face.]
You're not the first here to wonder. 'twould seem people really don't know the mystel... who, I assure you, are one of the more populous races in Norvrandt.
Is it really so strange a sight?
no subject
[Whether that's a good or bad thing, she isn't sure, and leaves that up to him to decide. The people in the Sector Seven slums probably wouldn't think it's strange, or a bad thing, but she has a feeling they'd be asking a lot of questions if they were here instead of her right now.
She doesn't think it's weird, just... different! In a neat kind of way. Which is why every time her eyes flick up to them, they light up with interest.]
They remind me of a cat's.
