We hereby start the Void Calendar! All over the Void since yesterday, several handwritten notes have been taped or stapled to the Void's most populated areas in the hopes to drive the people to the popular bar/cafe. Heavenly Blanc's exterior has been protected from any upcoming storms by a large awning, and more tables and chairs have been temporarily set to settle any issues of overcrowding on the inside. Upon entering, one will be able greeted by the aroma of curry, although the spices vary from pot to pot, and coffee and alcohol will be served throughout the evening.

Within the interior of the bar, a small space has been divided and cleared out -- next to the jukebox. There, one will find a few microphones resting on their stands, waiting for whoever is brave enough to sing on them to whatever is playing in Heavenly Blanc when the storm hits. Last, but not least, a whiteboard has been visibly placed next to the entrance. It reads: "Names of the Months", and you may either write your own or add sticks to vote on your favorites.

Yeah, okay. Thanks, Watanuki-san.

[ She's in absolutely no position to gently try and dissuade, and she doesn't really want to, either, because she's about to tip herself over if she's not careful. She flashes him a small, apologetic smile as they make their way over to a table, and finally, she's able to sit. ]

Oh! Thank you. [ Water.... water is a thing. She opens it and takes a sip, sighing. ]

I thought I'd grabbed a cup of punch... boy was I wrong.

[kimihiros]

(she is drunk, and while he has had amounts that would make many people be in the same state as takamaki, he is pretty much normal, if not slightly buzzed. he sips on his sake, a sigh of satisfaction.

the fact that there wasn't any attempts to reject his help does make him a little less concerned. at least there's someone experienced to guide her through it.)

Didn't the taste tell you that it was alcohol? From what I know, people hate their first tasting.

(it's not said with scolding tones or reprimanding in any way, more like curiosity -- and the assumption she has never drunk before.)

Drink plenty of water, try not to move too much.

[menaretrash]

Yes and no? It tasted weird, but like.... not overly weird. I thought it was just a weird Void thing.... weird.

[ That's the word of choice right now, because it's really the only word to describe this entire scenario. He's not wrong, either, about that -- she's never had alcohol before, and yes, it's fucking disgusting. ]

...I didn't wanna be rude.

[ And dump it, because that's really rude. And weird. ]

Mm... thank you.

[kimihiros]

... Makes sense. Now you know what some alcohol tastes like, so I'm sure this won't happen again. I'm sorry your first drink wasn't in your terms.

(just imagining how much it sucks to be drunk out of the blue, when one doesn't even know they have been drinking or even their limits when it comes to booze.)

You're welcome. Keep me company for a while, until you clear your head a little.

[menaretrash]

I hate it... is it rude to throw this stuff away? I don't know the protocol.

[ Because there's probably protocol. Maybe. She takes another sip of water. ]

Sure... sorry about this, by the way.

[kimihiros]

Give it to me.

(is there? all kimihiro is going to do is drink it if she hands it over. it's just a cocktail, not something more traditional like sake or wine.)

You don't have to apologize, Takamaki-chan. It's not your fault to begin with.

(but a change in subject surely would help, wouldn't it?)

I've seen you helping. Do you like parties?

[menaretrash]

I'd be really irresponsible to do that...

[ BECAUSE CLEARLY! She needs to protect him from also becoming intoxicated. Also, she's probably gonna end up knocking it over at some point. Or maybe used as a weapon if someone pisses her off, who knows. ]

Parties... [ Oh. Right, this is a party. ] No, not really... no one really ever invited me to them at home. Except for Ren. Ren's the best. He invites me to stuff all the time.

[kimihiros]

I'm used to it, I can handle it.

(if the empty bottles on top of the table aren't indication enough. he smiles a little at her throwing praises at her friend.)

It's good that you have good friends now. Good that you have people from home here too, mhm?

[menaretrash]

I have to be a responsible adult.

[ She gently hugs the nearly empty cup to her chest, as if cradling a baby. She's also... not an adult, but, details. ]

Ren's the best. He can like, literally do everything. He's magical. Oh-- yeah, that too! Ren being here is the best, and Goro... and Haru. And... Kasumi-chaaaan. She calls me senpai sometimes.

[ ....Sorry, Kimihiro... ]

[kimihiros]

... I'm old enough to be your great-grandfather. Come on, I'll be fine.

(he really is just worried about her drinking more... and he is actually drinking very visible alcohol right in front of her??? ann??

she starts to list her friends and his eyebrows lift for a second.)

Yoshizawa-chan and Haru-chan are from your home?

(none of them gave any indication that they knew one another... interesting.)
