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!

Is your tolerance high?

(Sounds like an appropriate question. Some seem to be drunk, or at least he thinks.

Placebo...?)

[memorate]

I wouldn't say so... I don't indulge a lot. Slows down the nerves and all.

[ It sounds cooler when he says it like that, but he's really more of a take it or leave it kind of guy when it comes to alcohol. ]

Don't go trying it though, just 'cause I said it has no effect, yeah?

[ You'll get them both in trouble for that. ]

[forethinking]

I'm a man of my word.

(Ren definitely won't be drinking or serving alcohol in Heavenly Blanc, much less when Tifa is around.

Nothing is really stopping him from picking something from the Wall Market though, but that's a thought for later...!)

Seems to be affecting people differently though.

[memorate]

You sure that's just not how they normally act?

[ Cloud knows that Ren has observed everyone better than he could, being a barista and everything.

...Also is he suggesting that the drunkards are always this stupid?! Yes. ]

[forethinking]

Perhaps a few notches down at least...

(He did rescue the drunkest of them all, after all!!

Either way, Ren hides his hands in his pockets before he speaks again.)

I will help clean the beach, by the way.

[memorate]

Heh, you sure you want to? Some of the others think it's a bad idea.

[ Not a bad idea, per se, but morally questionable. Cloud can't possibly consider those machines to be alive, but he wonders what Ren thinks about it. ]

[forethinking]

I won't turn down the opportunity to gather equipment and make this place a little better.

(They have no choice but to live here for the time being, so might as well create a pleasant environment for them to inhabit...

Besides, he misses having a functional beach.)

We just have to be careful.
