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.

Ann - "Never have I ever gained weight!"

[menaretrash]

Neeeever have I ever gained weight from over eating!

[ No... really. She doesn't gain weight. Doesn't hit the gym, nothing. She's also highly intoxicated right now, so, don't mind her if she takes a big old swig of whatever god awful shit is in her cup right now! ]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Considering his daily meals generally consist of coffee and little else, he does not take a sip for this.]

How did you get your hands on another one?!

[This was starting to become criminal negligence on the host's part. He'll try to swap her drink for a soda this time]

[menaretrash]

No, no, it's not... no alcohol. I think. It's ice for my water...

[ She squints down at her cup, humming, before handing it over for him to inspect if he doesn't believe her. She's right this time... the bottle of water he'd given her has officially been poured into a cup of innocent ice! Be proud!! :D ]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

You think, or you know?

[He accepts the cup when it's offered, and... what do you know. She was telling the truth. It's certainly a relief. Handing the cup back he still has to add something..]

Don't leave the café without me, ok? I'll make sure you get back to your apartment. [..and I don't trust these clowns]

[menaretrash]

I don't really know anything anymore.

[ Except that he is the official drink inspector, somehow this is a thing, and she's okay with that. And look, he gives her her drink back this time! She did a good thing! ]

Okay! [ She sounds... ridiculously pleased right now, because she did A Thing Right. She suddenly blinks, though, as an idea suddenly floats up into her brain. ] Oh my God, can we have a sleepover?!

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[That's such low-hanging fruit and she's gonna feel so miserable later that he can't even bring himself to say something smart. You get a reprieve Ann]

[Yes! She did do a good thing! Continue to stay on the straight and arrow.]

[It's not hard to tell how pleased she is with herself right now, and it's admittedly kind of endearing. There this brief moment that passes between them where Kaiba feels an odd sense of warmth in his chest.. and then she asks him about the sleepover] A.. sleepover?!

[Clearly, she doesn't mean it that way.. but.. he's still a teenage boy despite his assertions to the contrary so his mind went there]

Actually- a sleepover was more along the lines of what I was trying to prevent...

[menaretrash]

[ What a sweet man... even if he could have totally said something about it and gotten away with it, because it's likely she's not gonna remember any of this come tomorrow. And even if she does, she's going to be so ill that it won't even cross her mind~

Yes, look at her go! She did a good thing, she is being a good person, drinking this water and keeping alcohol out of her system! She blinks up at him, pouting a little. ] How come? It'll be fun! You can... you can keep teaching me how to play Duel Monsters!

[ Get your mind out of the gutter, Seto! Just smile and nod, ya girl's gonna pass out in due time. Speaking of... ]

...w-wait, is it... are we done yet? Is it even close to midnight...?

[bluecastleace]

Me neither. Turn that shit into muscle.

[menaretrash]

I can't even do that. I just... don't gain weight.

[bluecastleace]

You ever try lifting weights?

[Leave it to Iwa to turn this into exercise talk.]

[simulatio]

[A quirk of his eyebrow as his gaze sweeps over her. Well, she is a model, after all, though based on his observations of her and her general behavior, one would never guess. Still-]

I'm afraid I don't overeat often enough for it to be a concern.

[Mr. "all I had for lunch was an apple," over here, meticulously concerned with making sure he looked conventionally attractive at all times. If Ren didn't cook for him so often, he'd probably go back to the same habits here.]

[menaretrash]

Ah, you don't even have to worry about it though, Akechi-kun! You're the prettiest person here!

[ She. She actually means that, too, just fyi. ]

[simulatio]

[He chokes with some surprise, and only remembers to use his Polite Laugh because they're in mixed company.]

You're too kind, Takamaki-san. ...Though I suppose I must admit to winning quite a few popularity polls, back in the day.

[Okay. Even now, he can't resist humble-bragging just a little.]

[forethinking]

I agree.

(Because he does? But also, since Akechi is making him sing, he might as well :) )

[simulatio]

[Somehow, it's both more and less embarrassing for Ren to say it. He rolls his eyes and scoffs, but if Ren looks closely, he'll see a faint dusting of red spread across his cheeks and tint his ears.]

It's a shame you can't print out the pictures you take of me. I might be willing to sign them for you.

[forethinking]

A shrine.

(A shit-eating grin that displays that he is not serious. Honestly, he's just talking shit to embarrass Goro at this point.)

[simulatio]

You wouldn't be the first.

[Ren... it's a good thing he knows you're not serious.]

Ah, not that I mean to brag, of course.

[forethinking]

(All Ren does is shake his head to disqualify his previous words, clearly joking as he takes a sip of his cola.

There's a bit of a laugh when he's done.)

It would be creepy.

[menaretrash]

Not kind, truthful. I'll bet you'd win any popularity poll, hands down, even here! You're smart, and handsome, and you have gorgeous eyes.

[ She nods at her own assessment, folding her arms across her chest. ]

You're beautiful~ You've got my vote!

[ ....There's no poll, but you know what? Pretend, okay. ]

[forethinking]

(Ren is just nodding, like the simp boyfriend he gets to be ever so often. Ann is 100% correct.)

[selfloveable]

( crying.... arashi sips her drink sadly. )

I'm the kind of girl who gains weight like, real easily... It doesn't matter where it's from. ( WOE IS SHE, especially given she's in sports. muscles...... ) I'm jealous of people like you! Honestly.

[menaretrash]

That sucks! I dunno what happened with me, I guess I have like, a ridiculously fast metabolism... I can eat crepe after crepe and nada! [ She's about to take another drink, but she stops. She blinks, places it down, and then shifts just enough (a little wobbly though, thanks to the... several alcoholic beverages she's consumed this evening) to place both of her hands very gently on Arashi's shoulders. ]

You're beautiful, and it doesn't matter if you gain weight or don't. You're perfect the way you are!

Re: Ann - "Never have I ever gained weight!"

[bridge_princess]

Stop looking so smug about that!

[She downed her drink with a huff.]

Even I gained a little by overeating once or twice in the old days.

[indigloaming]

Indigo does not drink for this, and would be raising her eyebrows if she had any.

"I was raised by humans, and I still don't understand y'all's obsession with weight. As long as yer healthy, what's it matter what the number on the scale says?"

But then given her makeup and density, she'll never have a 'healthy weight' by human standards, so perhaps that's part of it.
