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.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[For a while Kaiba is able to ignore the staring, just making a mental note that he has an audience. He assumes that eventually the guy will tire of it and wander off. Maybe find some chickens to amuse him, but that doesn't happen. After socketing a few gears into place, and giving them a spin to make sure they are set correctly he finally loses his patience.]

... May I help you with something?

[theforgottenboy]

[Fortunately(?) there are no chicken nugs in sight this time, but he sure isn't wandering off, he's very good at just standing there and staring, apparently.]

[He glances up when Kaiba addresses him.]

No. I don't need any help.

[It's a bluntly honest and literal answer to his question.]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[He sure is, a fact that isn't lost on Kaiba.]

...

[Considering the source, why had he been expecting anything more? With a shrug he returned to his fiddling with the delicate parts. It was just proving difficult to focus..]

You have... an interest in repairs?

[Cole might not have been making Kaiba socialize, but it was starting to occur anyway]

[theforgottenboy]

[Cole tilts his head.]

Are you repairing something?

[Yes, he's been staring with no idea of what he's actually doing.]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Pressing his lips firmly together, he prevents a sigh from escaping]

What did it look like I was doing?

[This guy was always so.. bizarre.]

[theforgottenboy]

I don't know. It looked like you wanted something to happen, though. Will something happen if you repair it?

[Whatever it is.]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

If there's enough electricity still in the air by the time I put it back together, then yes.

[Not explaining what the object was quite yet. Not that it was any big secret]

[theforgottenboy]

[Oh, so it's one of those electric things, that supposedly aren't magic but sound like they're a type of magic anyway. He doesn't really get it.]

[Rather than ask what it is though, he just shuffles closer to get a better look at the pieces.]

Do you like repairing things that use electricity?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Yup! It's definitely one of those mystical, not-mystical sort of devices.

The pieces themselves likely aren't illuminating but they are plentiful, and some of them are tiny]

You could say that.

[Sparing Cole another glance before looking back to the object]

My whole company is built around the construction and forwarding of technology.

[theforgottenboy]

[His company? As in the friends he kept company with, probably??]

Is your company here with you?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Ha! Jokes on you, he has no friends. That he acknowledges as friends]

Not yet. I'm the only one here.

[theforgottenboy]

I'm sorry.

[Because he'd be happier if he had his friends with him, of course.]

Have you made friends here?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[What? The hazards of being on separate pages]

What would I need with friends?

[theforgottenboy]

[Headtilt...]

Your company isn't your friends?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

No, my company is Kaiba Corp.

[He pauses only a moment before adding]

It's a business, we create advances in technology that will benefit the world over.

[theforgottenboy]

[He has very little idea what that means... more importantly,]

You help people?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[That would be the aspect the nekkid-chicken guy would focus on. Kaiba isn't sure how to answer that. The answer is 'yes' but perhaps not in the way Cole if thinking, also Kaiba isn't sure he wants to openly admit anything.]

I would say so, yes. These innovations can be applied in a multitude of ways to enrich lives.

[theforgottenboy]

[He may not understand technology well, but,]

That's good. I'm glad you do that.

[But also,]

Why don't you have friends?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Seto doesn't think this guy understands much of anything, but because of his personality it's hard to be perpetually rude to him]

Mm, I'm sure.

[A beat, passes and his lips quirk up]

.. because I don't need them. I can stand on my own.
