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.

Maybe... we should ask the void to send us something with power. I don't want to ris you running out.

[forwearemany]

Our charge does not drop.

(Ever since arriving here, it's remained the same. Though possible this will change, it is likely there will be a method to restore it.)

[bridge_princess]

Hmmm.

[She looked at Legion with the curious eyes of someone about to ask if that was normal, but didn't. Saying thing like that frequently meant that the Void might hear, and she didn't want it causing trouble for them.]

We should look into ways to ... what is the word? Make batteries?

[forwearemany]

Batteries are already available in this location. However, they function primarily as a food source.

(She's probably seen them, as they were served at the Christmas party.)

[bridge_princess]

They taste awful. I'd rather eat the pebbles.

[Which, once again, Parsee was demonstrating a terrible sense of taste because she was a hobo and if she was hungry she'd eat whatever was on hand. The girl needed to carry twinkies around or something.]

But aren't they supposed to work as regular electrical power somehow?

[forwearemany]

...

(They make a note to start bringing more than just cake to the shrine. Food baskets might be wise. This is not the first time she has made poor eating decisions.)

Yes. However, here they do not.

[bridge_princess]

[Parsee, queen of great life choices.]

So, they're basically little battery-shaped objects that don't do what they're supposed to, and melt in your stomach like anything else? Ngh... this one's going to need to figure that sort of thing out.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(Batteries are food, Proteus is weird and doesn't understand technology.)

However, currently we are able to refuel by consuming food items. We are not at risk for losing power.

[bridge_princess]

You know, in your case this world would have to figure out a few things all at once to fix them the way that they need to be ...

...

Do batteries taste better for you than me? I wonder.

[forwearemany]

...Uncertain.

(They don't know how they taste to her beyond that she did not like them.

They also weren't super fond of the batteries.)

[bridge_princess]

Ya know... if we were feeling mean, we could probably make everyone do a taste test, see what they have to say...

[Pause...]

Or just plug into curry.

[forwearemany]

Though a taste test would potentially yield valuable data, we are not "feeling mean".

(Sorry to burst your bubble Parsee, but fellow captives and residents are not for experimentation!)

We also cannot "plug into" curry.

[bridge_princess]

Fine, fine, I'll behave myself this time.

[She winked at him with what bordered on a playful 'spoilsport' look. Sometimes it was easy to joke around Legion, even if she probably had to explain the joke, like now!]

Hehe, I meant go get some to eat, silly.

[forwearemany]

(Their headflaps lift, flutter briefly.)

Acknowledged. (They look over at the pots of curry.) Consideration: we are hungry now.

(Perhaps they should get some. Wanna go get some curry with them, Parsee?)

[bridge_princess]

Alright then. [She grinned over at Legion.] Let's go get something decent to eat, whattaya say?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(They are really coming to enjoy being able to taste.)
