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.

[forceofnature]

Hm.

[Have a small girl plopping down on the ground without warning or invitation.]

I don't know you. But I did notice you enter earlier.

[Viridi seems too strangely pleased with herself for this to be mere curiosity.]

[kimihiros]

Dragged against my will?

(the words real mad, but the tone sweet. the annoyance is not towards the tiny girl who plopped by.)

I haven't seen you before.

[forceofnature]

I... have seen you in the distance but never talked to you because I try to limit my exposure to weird humans I don't need to know.

[...]

Which is why I'm talking to you now.

Soooooo~ What are your intentions for Iwaizumi, hm?

[here comes the rumor mill]

[kimihiros]

... ?

(kimihiro is just. loss at words. did she not see that iwaizumi dragged him here?)

What do you mean?

[forceofnature]

I mean...

Iwa is a prickly pear who spent his first week here picking fights with everyone (or so I learned later). And now he's dragged you here and got sloshed and fell all over you.

Just saying.

[kimihiros]

You're reading into things.

I think he just wanted to get me out of my shop, knowing fully well that if I could, I wouldn't leave for anything.

[forceofnature]

Ooooooooor you're madly in love, and I get to tease him until the end of days! One of these options is more fun than the other, so I'm choosing to believe my version of reality.

[doesn't kimihiro long for the halcyon days of old when he didn't know viridi]

And how do you feel about him, hm?

[kimihiros]

Isn't that how reality works, in the end of the day?

(kimihiro does put down the pipe. he's not going to smoke in the presence of a child.)

What is it to you?

[forceofnature]

I just said.

I get to tease him until the end of all days. There's literally nothing else to do around here besides gossip, so gotta get that adrenaline rush somehow.

[Viridi is very honest with herself.]

[kimihiros]

Do as you please.

(again, words mad, tone gentle, because, at the end of the day, she has already said she believes what she wants to believe. what exactly could come of him arguing her otherwise? kimihiro doesn't even know for sure what iwaizumi feels. pity, perhaps? he hates it. thanks.)

[forceofnature]

I'm interpreting that to mean that I'm correct, and your feelings are overwhelming your fragile heart.

[Viridi stands, ready to depart with her divinely inspired mission to gos -- ]

Wait.

[...]

I know that unnecessarily flowery ceremonial wearing thing.

[In the end, she had just stuck them in a pile in the lobby with a sign that said FINDERS KEEPERS]

That was your pile of clothes?!

[kimihiros]

You're interpreting that to hear what you'd like.

(it's said politely before he takes another sip.)

Thirty-something traditional outfits? Mine, yes.

[forceofnature]

That pile of junk landed on my head during a very delicate operation! I smashed half my pots! I had to redo the whole northeastern shrine area! Biblebot had to help me!

[Each of those are equally grave offenses.]

Why do you even have thirty whatever of those?!

[says the goddess who has one outfit]

[kimihiros]

Tradition. Gifts. Inheritance. They're important to me. Please do not call them that.

(but he is upset that they were called "junk". with a sigh.

why would you live with a single outfit???)

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

[forceofnature]

My plants are important to me, too! Much more important than clothes; they're living things. You don't sound sorry at all.

[she wants a 500 word essay]

You're lucky I didn't just leave them in the dirt, you know. Or keep them! I look fabulous in those things, just letting you know.

[kimihiros]

I understand that you're upset, but you do realize I had no choice in that matter, nor did I choose to have a spaceship out of my refridgerator.

(but he's upset, even if the tone is polite and distant. they're... so important, viridi, please don't mistreat his clothes.)

[forceofnature]

Oh yeah?

Well did the guy who got the spaceship say 'thanks for keeping my spaceship for me' or 'sorry that was an inconvenience' later?

[hint hint]

[kimihiros]

Fine, fine. Thank you for keeping my outfits for me.

[forceofnature]

You still don't sound like you mean it.

[She gives a long-suffering sigh as she drifts away, muttering to herself out loud.]

Manners! That's what we need here. I should send an invoice for my broken pots and plants.

[kimihiros]

Neither do you have any speaking poorly of things that are incredibly precious to me.

(a quiet sigh later...)

I do truthfully apologize for the plants, and I thank you for keeping my outfits. If that is all, I will be moving on from this conversation.

[forceofnature]

I was already leaving~!

[she calls out as she continues to drift]

I'll log the apology in the book.
