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!

You mean those plant-like things inside them, right?

[ But even plants wouldn't be considered as having animal intelligence. They're special, maybe, and they might be able to talk to a certain flower girl, but this is something entirely else he thinks. ]

So what are you, then? Can you communicate with them?

[ Because that would help with the peace talks! ]

[forwearemany]

They appear to be hybrids, composed of both plant and machine.

(More chatter, this time about the erroneous assumption that a similar "biology" would somehow enable them to communicate with an alien species.)

They do not appear capable of advanced communication.

[memorate]

That still doesn't tell me what you are, with your advanced communication and all.

[ Not that Cloud is trying to be rude on purpose, he's pretty crappy at his social game with humans, let alone talking robots... if that's what Legion even is. Definitely not human, that's for sure. ]

[forwearemany]

We are Geth: a machine race originally created by an alien species known as Quarians.

(That's the thing: people are rarely malicious enough to intentionally be jerks, they just make stupid and occasionally racist assumptions.

The more ordinary rudeness goes completely unnoticed.)

[memorate]

"We"? There's more than one of you?

[ He looks around for a moment, scanning the bar for any more of these "Geth", but he certainly doesn't see any. Legion is the only Geth thing that's sticking out to him. ]

[forwearemany]

There are 1,183 programs within this platform.

(They're a swarm intelligence. Lots of minds in one body.)
