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.

[Iwa sees, but surely there must be some mistake.]

Nah, Turing. You’re only supposed to drink if you have done what the person says.

[begetblue]

[ Eep! Busted. And by Iwa, no less. ]

I... I know. I have done that.

[forethinking]

(Color Ren impressed. He is just blinking to the small robot.

Woah. Hardcore.)

[begetblue]

[ Ren saw that too?! Noooo!

Please disregard the aforementioned small robot trying to sink into their chair and disappear. ]

[forethinking]

What happened?

(Might as well know before he high-fives or disapproves.)

[begetblue]

Well... [ They weren't getting any disapproving looks just yet, so they might as well be honest and avoid making things worse. ]

We needed an untraceable car to trade for valuable information. In order to procure the car, we used a carjacking device that would also spoof the car's presence on the network, thereby allowing it to leave the city unnoticed.

But I gave it some preset destination plans to make the car return to where we found it once our informant made his escape! It was more like...borrowing without asking.

[ That's still stealing, Turing. ]

[forethinking]

What valuable information?

(What kind of life has Turing lived?? What is HAPPENING??)

[begetblue]

[ There is so much more, Ren. So much more. ]

A disc of my creator's research notes, some data collation algorithms, and more notes regarding my creation. Our informant was also able to tell us about Parallax's now-foiled big project they had been developing in secret.

[ ...They may have looked a little proud at "now-foiled." ]

[bluecastleace]

Turing...

[He says this, staring blankly, yet bewildered at the little robot, mouth slightly agape. He doesn’t understand 90% of what his little buddy just said, but—-]

You’re a total bad ass, dude! What the hell?!

[forethinking]

Did they steal it from you?

(Not repressing, just curious!)

[begetblue]

[ That wasn't at all what they were expecting from Iwaizumi, and they still didn't really know what "bad ass" was supposed to mean, but it was...proooobably a compliment? It was enough to get them to brighten up at least.

As for Ren's question: ]

No, not at all! As he was a colleague of Hayden's, he had easier access to the disc and his other notes. My companion and I had no way of getting inside to retrieve the disc ourselves, so the fact that we were able to get it from him was very fortunate.

[ They hoped Mr. Mensah and his wife had managed to get to safety... ]

[bluecastleace]

I don’t understand half of what you just said, [he’s drunk, remember] but I’m pretty sure you are the most awesome person I have ever met in my life.

[begetblue]

R-really? [ That was very high praise, drunk or not. Also, it was good to know that he didn't appear to think less of them for their recent extralegal activity. ]

I can tell you more! Though perhaps it should wait until you're slightly less intoxicated.

[ ...Wait, hold on. Turing frowned slightly when they realized that Iwaizumi looked a little young to be drinking. ]

[bluecastleace]

Pshhh. Like I can’t handle it. I’m not just gonna change my mind when it sobers up, you know!

[He is definitely too young to be drinking, but like, don’t be a buzz kill, Turing.]

[begetblue]

[ Fortunately for him, it was about then that Turing realized they didn't really have a leg to stand on here. They had accepted that drink that Blue had offered them way back when after all. Oops.

(It had tasted like juice though!) ]

I'm less concerned about that and more concerned about you feeling ill later...

[bluecastleace]

I’ll be fiiiiiiine.

[He waves a very wobbly hand. He will likely not be fine.]

This isn’t my first—-

Huh. How do the Americans say it?

Rodeo!

[begetblue]

I will remember you said that if you need help getting home.

[ Not that Iwa saying that would at all stop them from helping him anyway, but the sass was peeking out regardless. Thankfully, the mention of metaphorical rodeos was an excellent distraction. ]

You've been to a rodeo before?

[bluecastleace]

Nope!

[He fails to explain further.]

[begetblue]

[ You know that meme with the confused lady and the math operators and other figures floating around? Yeah, that. That was a good description for Turing's expression and thoughts at the moment. ]

Huh? But...what?

[ Good job, Iwa. You broke Turing. ]
