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.CODING BY

Oh, can it, Adam Smith. We bicker about the little things, but this is obviously just you being a dillweed to be a dillweed.
Not that I care about any of you but the rich always stomp all over the poor. And that's why humans are the way they are. For some of you, your meaningless push to get higher on the totem pole crystallizes into a callous disregard for everything and everyone else.
[...well now she takes a drink]
no subject
Here, you're nobody. Enjoy.
(Kaiba ticks him off ever so often, and while he has been attempting to be good, only for Ann, comments like this just don't go well with him. He'll go work for a while now, try to wash out Kaiba from his brain.)
no subject
[Akechi just resting his chin in his hand, smiling as if he's not saying anything rude at all.]
I'm afraid I have yet to see any obvious signs of superiority other than a complex.
no subject
How the vultures descend at the slightest chance they might be able to snag a piece of me.
[Harrumphing and drawing himself up to full height as he folded his arms]
I didn't realize I would be under interrogation just for participating in a childish game. [Outnumbered he didn't waver in his assertions however] Do you want bullet points or an essay?
no subject
[Akechi crosses his legs, leaning back more comfortably in his chair as he brings his hand to his chin, tilting his head as if studying the other man carefully. The defensiveness is amusing, and it shows in the small, satisfied smile hovering over his lips.]
The implication that I have any interest in a "piece of you," is quite absurd, allow me to reassure you. I'm simply curious as to why you insist on proving your superiority to those around you, when previous titles and wealth mean less than nothing to the general population of this prison. But please, I await your bullet points with bated breath. Do tell me how your position in the business world grants you superiority over the rest of us mere mortals.
no subject
He loves you so much.)
no subject
[Unable to resist smarting off again. He's never bought this polite society act of Akechi's, it reminded him far too much of at least two of his transgressors, former or otherwise. So he didn't even try to prevent himself from rolling his eyes at the pretentious speech.]
Heh, if that were true we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. [Read as vehement argument]
Just because I'm being temporarily held here, it doesn't erase my identity nor my accomplishments. I know who I am. Sounds more like the rest of you have things you'd rather forget.
[Least from his standpoint]
You want bullet points, well.. I'll give them to you though I think it's a waste of our time. You've already formed your opinion and there's nothing I could say to shake it. Actions would speak louder. [Looking between the pair of them, fully including Ren in this]
1. I'm a strategist, adaptable to whatever situation may arise.
2. My vast knowledge on a variety of subjects ranging not only from economics but also language and science gives me an undeniable advantage in most situations. I've already put that to good use here, and will continue to do so.
3. I'm resourceful
4. I have sharp reflexes
5. I've kept myself in remarkable condition physically
6. Being able to manage my time efficiently, means I'm able to accomplish more in a day than most will in a week.
7. Not only to I have knowledge to fall back on but practical application in my experience.
... Do you really want me to go on? Because I can.
no subject
[For his part, Akechi allows him to lay out his bullet points, the slight curve of a smile to his lips never faltering. There's a subtle way the set of his eyes hardens, though, edging polite-looking smile into something closer to a smirk.]
I'll admit, I've no interest in your accomplishments save for how they'll help us in this Void, that's true. I've known people for whom their job became their entire identity.
[His tone implies he doesn't think very highly of them, but, well, that's not a surprise.]
As for your list... I apologize. Quite the list of feats, and yet none of them unique to you. If you truly think you're better than the other people here simply for those facts, I suggest you reassess your outlook.
no subject
That's just because you're narrow-minded and short-sighted. It's not your fault. [Trying to mirror a more saccharine and sarcastic tone to match] Most people are. [A smirk sliding over his lips as well as he tilted his head to one side and derived enjoyment from his own insults.]
I did say there was more.. and I sincerely doubt that there's anyone here that possesses exactly the same skills that I do.
[Thinking about the technological side alone.. I mean sure he knew of others that could hack into computer systems, or possessed this ability or that but could any one of them build a holo-projector, a robot, and pilot a jet? Kaiba considered himself unique because he had it all, wrapped into one package]
You'd say anything to devalue my worth. Ha- let's just hope you never find yourself in a position where you need my help.
no subject
He snorts a laugh, hardly bothered by the insult. Direct insults are so childish, like calling names on the playground, and he doesn't think highly enough of Kaiba to allow them to sting his pride.]
The argument isn't over your specific skillset. The argument is simply that it does not make you better than anyone else here. And I believe you've proven my point for me more than I ever could, to me and to everyone else here.
[He laughs outright at the thought that he might need Kaiba's help for, well, anything.]
My, what the contrived position that would be. I'll endeavor to avoid it at all costs.
no subject
Because bias][He's getting reallllly tired of everyone laughing either in his face or behind his back this evening. Apparently his list is just going to keep growing. Indirect insults are cowardly, and two-faced. Let people see who they're dealing with.]
Better, is subjective, especially in this conversation. You limited your focus to what is useful in the void currently, but it's ever adapting. I fully believe that I am in a far more solid position to handle whatever it may throw at us than anyone else here. That makes me superior.
[
If only he had a picture of Akechi's face it would sure fill out that dart board nicely]I don't really care what you do. I mean that, sincerely.
no subject
his strategy has paid off
she's just gonna go outside where her peals of laughter still somehow make it into the lounge area]

no subject
breathe viridi you can do this in - out - hoo - in - out - hooooo... ok I'm gooo --
SHARP REFLEXES hahahahhahahaha!
[don't mind her she'll be stuck like this for a while]
no subject
no subject
[His little way of complaining about just how many times she mimics that gagging sound in a week. It's really unpleasant and she should knock it off]
That's your interpretation, but if everyone here was being intellectually honest on the subject I would be in the lead with this submission.
[Only one person has been.. so far]
Sounds more like you have a problem with the wealthy than I have in the reverse. [Sure, the term 'dead-end job' isn't a flattering one but he hadn't said one way or the other how he felt about people who had to work them. That was reserved for a case by case basis. Plus, there were those contributions he made to the underprivileged which he continued not to use for gloating rights. If it ever came up, he knew these people would assume it was for tax write-offs only. Plus he had some principles, this work was untouchable by naysayers, and he would protect the privacy of those who benefitted from it.] You know, whenever you speak in generalities you're guarantying your inaccuracy. [Then his expression sours] Nothing I do is meaningless. [He was securing his future, and his brother's and ensuring they could never be mistreated by anyone ever again]
no subject
[Viridi smiles cruelly.]
You're petty and mean, and you can't stand going for ten seconds without hyping yourself up because you're insecure. When you're called out, you spin allll kinds of ways to try to make yourself out to not be the bad guy. You're taking a party thrown by... I mean, I'm not gonna say positive things about them, but people who like, can actually not be awful, to be more awful. For no reason.
And as you know, I hate all humans, so yes, obviously, you're right about that.
...Ooh, never have I ever not spoken my truth at all times. High-five, girl.
[She gives herself a high-five.]
no subject
[W o w. That almost gets him to crack a smile, albeit a cruel and unfeeling one]
I'm confident in myself and what I'm capable of but somehow you read that as, insecure. [Pronouncing the word as it it was something vile that should be disposed along with the rest of the trash] You're the one that jumped onto this subject and made it into a thing. I was merely attempting to play a game with these losers and I see that I needn't have bothered. No one here is mature enough to handle it.
You've made that obvious, and if it wouldn't leave a bad taste in my mouth I'd almost agree with the sentiment. [Humans aren't his favorite beings, especially not currently]
You know what? Isn't it long past your bedtime? [You're like 9 right?] Why don't you just clear out of here with your self-righteous attitude and hit the road?
no subject
[Viridi calmly slurps more milkshake.]
I'm awful, but at least I know I'm awful. You're just delusional! Please, I'm not human, and even I know this would go over like a lead balloon.
no subject
Psychology is a whole other field..
[.. And not one he's fond of, least not when people try to apply it to himself]
You certainly are. [Not even going to argue with that assessment] It didn't have to devolve into.. this! [Almost everything he touched tonight seemed to go haywire. He should have just stuck to: Never have I ever enjoyed a party. or: Never have I ever enjoyed the company of others! This socializing was too much work for too little gain. Next time he'll trust his instincts and stay home.
Or would these people be counting on that?
Could just show up to spite them... or spare himself..spite...spare.... eh, that's a bridge to be crossed at a later date]
no subject
[Viridi raises a finger.]
Step 1: Read the room. No one wants to hear about how great you are.
Step 2: Play nice. You actually need to be pleasant to people if you don't want them to hate you. Life is weird like that.
Step 3: If all else fails, pay them to be your friend.
You'll probably just need to skip directly to Step 3.
no subject
You're the last person I'd want to hear this from.
[Since- her personality as they already covered is equally or more offputting]
You know what you can do with your three step program..? [Implying something unpleasant but not voicing it]
I don't want anything. Not from the people here, and I've never needed nor wanted friends.
[Self-dependence was far superior than anything else.]
I shouldn't have bothered to participate in the first place.
no subject
[which really makes her worse, if you think about it.]
Mostly because after ten whatever kajillion years of existence, I'm immune to other people's opinions. So I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about - because I specifically do the opposite!
Take the advice or leave it! No one else is offering to help you.
I mean, I guess you can ask your lover, but also, romantic partners are infamously bad at being honest with each other. It's like a whole sitcom trope.
no subject
[Isn't that nice, he's agreeing with you that you're an irritant Viridi.
That's not nice at all!]I don't care what others think. [Sure, that's why you let the gay duo over there get under your skin so easily, Kaiba. He mostly didn't care what others thought, but at least attack him for something legitimately heinous, not some stupid party game nonsense...]
I never asked for your advice. [.. and yet he could have used it]
[The word 'lover' sent an obvious shockwave through his system as he stiffened his posture. Still not used to people acknowledging his relationship so openly.]
If I presented the situation to her, I'm sure she'd see it my way. [.. and she could see it from the opposing forces perspective too but let's ignore that part] Let's just drop it. I tried to involve myself in this, and that was a mistake. I can accept that. [.. but not the reasons why it was a mistake]
no subject
[Viridi rolls her eyes - though less enthusiastically than she had previously.]
You're supposed to try to learn something from your mistakes, you know. And I'm just gonna tell you now: the lesson you're supposed to learn here is not, 'Everybody else is wrong.'
[Bizarrely, she actually does seem to be trying to be helpful, in her extremely unpleasant way. She's reached the limit of her sympathy, though.]
Well, go and get some more smooches, it will probably cheer you up. I'm going to go stalk somebody else.
