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.

( As the one to suggest the month naming, of course Arashi's writing her ideas up on the board! These aren't the best names technically speaking for like, memorization purposes (unless you're Arashi, whose top skill is that) but they are the ones she put thought into. )

1~ Snow Drop (Hope)
2~ Day Lily (Flirtations)
3~ Alyssum (Worth beyond beauty)
4~ Delphinium (Pure and clear)
5~ Tulip (Compassion)
6~ Sunflower (Brightness)
7~ Plumeria (Enthusiasm)
8~ Euphorbia (Simplistic)
9~ Gladiolus (Clandestine meeting Thoroughly prepared)
10~ Damask Violet (Competition)
11~ Chrysanthemum (Noble)
12~ Belladonna Lily (I see you as you are)

( And because it's Arashi, and she has her little flower meanings book, she's detailed why she picked each one... aka one of their meanings. Some of them are probably a little more personal to her as to why she picked the flower for that month, but... Well, never mind it. )

[thats_it]

[while Ignis should, in good conscience, vote for his own world's month-naming convention, he finds he likes this one. (and is not at all biased because he knows someone named Gladiolus.) that in mind, after a few minutes of hemming and hawing, yeah, he's going to cast his vote for this one]

[bazooker]

[After spending some time looking at it, Haru couldn't help but to cast her vote as well. While there is some bias involved, it was probably one of the more creative ones she seen.]

[begetblue]

[ Oh, what lovely imagery! That definitely warranted an enthusiastic +1 from Turing. ]

[anciently]

[ Aerith carefully considers all the options before going with this one: these aren't the names she's familiar with, but this whole world is unfamiliar, so why not try something new? ]

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

[Hmmmmm. Normal months that most people will remember... or fun flower names that provide better poetic variety...

yeah let's put another vote to the cute flower names, +1]

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

[...and there is also an additional +1 vote signed by one Zhongli, which certainly looks like his handwriting (assuming it hasn't changed too much in the last 1000 years)

this is definitely a legitimate vote that should not be questioned]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[This would be all well and good, if you hadn't been spotted doing it little man]

Afraid your choice won't win without cheating? [A beat] Pathetic.

[He steps over to remove the forged point, when he catches the name then looks down at the boy.]

Venti, I presume?

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

Ehehe... [caught red-handed... or is he???

he is, but that won't stop him from trying. He twirls the marker in his hand.]

Cheating? Why, I'd never! I was merely fixing a smudge on my good friend's signature for him. I wouldn't want his vote to be cast out because of such a minor clerical error!

You would presume correctly! Ah, but if it's an autograph you're after, you can pay me with a drink first.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Totally caught in the act, the post-it note war had Kaiba lingering in the area for a while..]

Well- he must be a good friend if he had you sign it for him in the first place. [Zhongli didn't have anything to do with this you pint-sized weasel] You do realize, that this suggestion was in the lead already, right? Why jeopardize having the legitimacy of the votes called into question when you weren't even losing?

[The next was said with a smirk] A drink sounds reasonable, who else's autograph can you forge? I'd want to make sure I procured a good one.

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

A very good friend indeed! And what makes you think he wouldn't put his vote towards such a fine suggestion? Do you think yourself more familiar with Zhongli than I?

I quite prefer my own, actually! But hmm, yours doesn't seem too complicated... I wonder what someone might be able to do with that?

[be careful who you pick fights with, kaiba, you might just end up writing love letters to everyone in the void...]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

I never said he wouldn't, just that he should have the chance to make that decision on his own. [I mean- Zhongli is like.. a funeral director, or something. Flowers would be in his wheelhouse]

Don't even think about it. [Too late, it's been thought]

[How potentially mortifying]

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

You're quite the nosy one, aren't you? Well, I don't see him placing any other votes, so there's no problem! Case closed!

So anyway, about that drink—who should I be making this autograph out to?

[pragmatism]

[ This particular piece of voter fraud has been okayed by Zhongli's player. However, whether Zhongli himself allows it will depend on how good of a mood he's in. ]

[wouldntglidingbefaster]

[doesn't matter what mood he's in if he never finds out!!!!!!!!!!!

(please, at least put a cushion down before defenestrating him...)]

[pragmatism]

[ rest assured, zhongli would not harm his closest friend... at least, not permanently. ]

[forceofnature]

[well if she has to pick one it's going to be the one with the ridiculous flower names obviously

+1]

[bachagain]

[ leo's voting on this because he has to support everything his knights do






but then later his vote's scratched out and replaced with nevermind im gonna forget these!!!!!. at least the thought was there for 10 minutes so he can't get dragged like izumi ]

[selfloveable]

( wh

NO?? arashi's writing beneath this: )

leo-kun also voted for this!! no take-backs!!!!!!!!!!!

♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

[bachagain]

[ xcuse me

can't believe leo has to come BACK to his vote that he came back to before. he's writing underneath this writing that's underneath his: ]

hey that's not how democracy works!
leo-kun took this back! no takebacks on the takeback!

[ like sticking your hand in the ballot box and taking back your vote is normal,

also sorry for your whiteboard it's now shitpost central ]

[selfloveable]

( excuse YOU??? )

you can't take back your vote in a democracy either!!! are you willfully committing election fraud, leo-kun??
his vote stays for my names.

( please just talk like normal people instead of writing aggressive notes at each other on the whiteboard. )

[bachagain]

[ NO ]

uuuughhhhhhhhh

[ yeah, that's it





peak maturity here, truly ]

[king_in_dreams]

[Like Ignis, Noct feels like he should probably go for the names they use back home, but, well. Flower names are a thing back home, too, and he does have a bit of a poet in him somewhere. He drifts over once other people have moved away and draws a rough picture of a smiling moogle face with a +1 next to it.]
