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.

[simulatio]

Yes, do tell. Please, enlighten us as to your superiority.

[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.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Wow, it's all coming out now.]

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?

[simulatio]

"Vultures? Interrogation?"

[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.

[forethinking]

(Ren has left this conversation not to Fucking Lose It with Kaiba, and is nearby collecting cups and other things to trash -- Oh, Akechi. Ren has the biggest smirk in the world on his face.

He loves you so much.)

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Is there an echo in here?

[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.

[simulatio]

I see.

[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.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[This goes about as well as expected, like trying to fly a lead balloon. How he would love to wipe the smile of of this guy's features- preferably with Blue-Eyes white lightning attack or Obelisk's Fists of Fury. See how this wispy looking figure would hold up to an assault from one of the Egyptian Gods!]

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.

[simulatio]

[Akechi, facing an Egyptian god: Oh, is it a day ending in Y again?

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.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[It certainly is. Somehow Kaiba would place more faith in this God, than the ones you've encountered before, Akechi. 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.

[forceofnature]

[kaiba almost succeeds in killing viridi as she chokes on her own saliva in the corner and coughs and wheezes hysterically for a little bit

his strategy has paid off

she's just gonna go outside where her peals of laughter still somehow make it into the lounge area]

[forethinking]

(Listen, he was on the OTHER SIDE OF THE OUTSIDE, barely tuning in anymore and when he hears the laughter, he can't help but to laugh too.)

[forceofnature]

'I have... sharp... re... reflexes' - BWAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaa!!

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]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[This face, Viridi. THIS ONE]
