🥂 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! |

He can see them trying to check things out, again, difficult not to, and smiles a little endeared.)
Do you want help to go up the stool?
no subject
I wouldn't want to impose... You seem very busy.
[ Still, getting up on the stool properly was probably a better idea. The only problem was getting up without the stool toppling over, and it was already threatening to wobble about with Turing's weight on the lower bars. This would not at all end in disaster! ]
no subject
It's no problem.
(Ren gives the tiny robot a smile before he moves from behind the counter towards them.)
Can I pick you up?
(No taking tiny robots without consent.)
no subject
Yes, you can. I'll have to consider a better solution for next time. [ Perhaps a smaller stepping stool or ladder? Hmmm. ]
no subject
(He hopes it's not awkward for the little robot...
Ren takes them by under their arms, gentle and careful before placing them on the stool, a nod when Turing finally could see what he was doing behind the counter.)
Comfortable?
no subject
[ Plus, with the vast majority of the new residents either being or greatly resembling humans, they were realizing that they were very much the "odd one out," as it were. It also didn't escape Turing's notice that they were being lifted with the kind of care one might give to a small child, which was...different.]
Yes, thank you! [ grins! ] I hope you don't mind, but the smell of coffee drew me over here.
no subject
Would you like some?
(If they can smell it, it's not too big of a leap to assume they can drink it as well, is it?)
no subject
While I'd like to say yes, I'm not able to drink beverages. I have emotional neurotransmitters that attempt to simulate the experience for me, though!
[ Totally not bragging. Nuh-uh. ]
no subject
(There is nothing like Turing where he is from, so of course he is impressed.)
no subject
I used them to figure out what drink I'd like best as well.
no subject
Which is?
no subject
The combination of coffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea is interesting.
no subject
(Sorry, he never got the input of a real robot who can do all these things before! He's just interested.)
no subject
While there are, of course, people who enjoy both coffee and tea, it's not uncommon for the two beverages to be pitted against each other. To heighten the contrast, the coffee is strong while the tea is sweet because of the addition of sweetened condensed milk or sugar. However, when they are combined, they create something wonderful that is more than the sum of their parts.
Also, from what I can determine, it tastes good.
no subject
How knowledgeable!)
It does taste good. How do you know all this?
no subject
[ Turing's gaze fell down to the counter for a moment. With their access to the mesh still gone, it felt strange to not have all that information readily available. ]
Though my knowledge of other beverages is...limited.
no subject
(Ren points to the shelves behind him. Sojiro did a good job teaching Ren how to work with all the blends.)
no subject
Yes! I'd like that.
no subject
I think it's easier if you sit on my shoulders. Are you ok with that?
no subject
Whether they were actually correct about that was another issue entirely. ]
Oh, yes, I can see how that would be easier. Then, if you'll excuse me...
[ They gingerly climbed to Ren's shoulders. Luckily they weren't very heavy. ]
THIS IS SO CUTE
Anything you find interesting?
I'm gonna attempt to up the cute ante!!
This one? [ Turing reached out to touch one of the jars, only to tap on one of the others instead. ] No, this one!
[ They picked one with an elaborate name. What could be the reasoning behind such a name? Or was there a particular naming convention for coffee blends? ...They totally weren't like a kid in a candy store here. Nope. ]
i am melting this is too cute
Ren takes the jar for Turing to see, not even minding that they might use his head to support it.)
Ethiopian Mocha Harrar. It's a spicy mocha with blackberry notes.
teach them everything you know about coffee, ren-sensei
[ It was a mocha, but spicy and also fruity? How interesting! Turing accepted the jar, though they didn't rest it on Ren's head. (That would be rude!) They popped open the jar for just a moment to take a whiff of the coffee. ]
Which one of these do you like best?
coffee 101
Guatemalan Antigua is grown in volcanic soil and has a soft acidity and fresh aftertaste!)
What do you smell?
