🥂 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 can fight. [ she throws fists. ] No weapon though. Do you have a weapon?
[ posh people normally do. ]
no subject
[He inhales through his nose and sighs regretfully, shaking his head.]
But unfortunately, I don't have a weapon myself. [Technically not a lie, considering the toy raygun he has in his jacket doesn't work right now.] I'm rather good with a saber, but I don't make a habit of carrying it around in my day-to-day life. Thus, it wasn't on my person when I found myself here.
no subject
[ her eyebrows raise up, a little surprised. it wasn't what first came to mind if she were to pair up a weapon to him. ]
You know, I have some saber training too. I own one too, but... I lost it. [ her lips thin, not the whole truth, not entirely a lie. ] Talk about timing. We kind of have to hope weapons materializes.
[ it isn't too out there a hope, if the world is still forming. ]
no subject
[Is it, though? There's a spark of nervous sweat in his palms, though he keeps it from his face. While it's true he'd taken some fencing lessons in the past, his own combat style is much more improvised and bloody. What, he wonders, would someone who's actually trained properly to fight with a saber think of his own fighting style?
Well. It's not a concern for now. Just something to keep in mind.]
Regarding your training, obviously, not the fact that you lost it. [He brings a hand to his chin.] Perhaps it may be worthwhile to try improvising something out of wood? For training purposes if nothing else.
no subject
[ the creatures here, at least some, have proven hostile. it isn't a bad idea to have some means of defense, crude as it may be. ]
That aside, are you interested in some hand-to-hand training? If you don't know the basics I can give you some instruction.
no subject
[Now, as for hand-to-hand...]
Mm... I do know the very basics of self-defense. When I started acting as a detective in earnest, the police thought it prudent that I learn how to defend myself. It wouldn't do for their poster boy to get taken out easily.
But I would truly welcome your expertise. After all, it's best to have as many tools in one's toolbox as possible, don't you agree? I promise that I'm an excellent student.
[And, well, all of that is true, even if he's not getting into the details of any of it. He would like to learn enough to call himself proficient.]
no subject
[ it's a compliment, but the singsong assurance in her voice and smile that comes with it borders on suspicious. she does enjoy training those with confidence the most. ]
no subject
Why do I get the feeling you're the type who enjoys throwing people to the ground?
[Are all formally-trained martial artists like this... She reminds him of Makoto, a little.]
no subject
[ yes. also, would stan queen makoto. ]
I'll have you know I was raised to be a peacekeeper. Therefore, my throws are peaceful.
no subject
Of course. Instead of knocking someone out, shall we also instead say you give them the rest they deserve?
no subject
[ she laughs a little in response, chucking for a couple seconds before letting it pass off. raised as a peacekeeper - she still wants to believe, even if it's hard when confronted with the reality of her upbringing. she clears her throat, pushing back the thoughts with it. ]
Anyway, I promise I won't go hard on you. I used to volunteer training young kids, around twelve or thirteen years old. It's not too hard to get a hold of the basics. No throws, not at the start.
no subject
[He's going to regret that so much-]
I'll be certain to think of something I can offer you in exchange. Never let it be said that I'm a man who forgets my debts.
no subject
[ teaching people how to protect themselves is plenty reward enough. means she has to worry a little less. ]
no subject
A challenge, is it? I'll be certain to rise to the occasion.
Ah, [and then a beat as he remembers something, bringing a thoughtful hand to his lips once again.] Is there anyone else you've met who's trained to fight? I can't expect everyone to want to talk to me now, of course -- it is a party, after all.
no subject
[ legion made three of those dragon-fish go flying in the air, never to be seen again. it was rad, honestly. ]
no subject
[He already knew about Tifa, and could guess about Cloud, and Legion only makes sense, but it's reinforcement of information he'd already gathered. Not at all useless.]
Thank you, Ahsoka-san. For now, I suppose I should let you get back to the party, yes?
