[open to Sally! she's in her MAC apartment, and there's a pile of paperwork slightly in-frame. but despite the busy appearance of the table, she herself looks well-put together for this announcement! and she's wearing an eye-catching yellow top that shows off a nice bit of cleavage to catch people's attention but you know eyes up here and all that]
I know I've been awfully quiet on the networks, but I've had my reasons. Me 'n a few other folks have been putting the finishing touches on a little charity event we've been workin' on for awhile, and now I'm happy to finally announce it to the public!
With the help of Mr. Stark, Mr. Langton, and a whole slew of other outstanding men and women helping to fund and sponsor for a good cause, I am pleased to announce that next week, from the 22nd til the 23rd, we'll be hosting what will be the City's second charity auction. I'm surprised you haven't managed to make this an annual thing.
[she casually glances over the paperwork next to her, the ready-for-camera smile never leaving her face.]
Following that, on the 24th, we'll be having a charity ball to take us imPorts out of the doldrums. But, I'll talk more about that later.
An' here's where you guys and gals come in! We need fourteen men and fourteen women to be nominated for this charitable cause. If you're interested in volunteering yourself or a friend, please fill out this form. Mind you, our candidates have to be eighteen years or older.
[a download to a .txt document pops up it took her a long time to figure out how to do that, okay?. it's a form to fill out.]
•NAME:
•AGE: (if you don't know your friend's age or if you wish to withhold, just state you're over 18)

•CONTACT INFORMATION: (phone number, address, comm number, etc.)
The money we're raising will be used to help fund the City as it continues to work towards repairing damage from those riots awhile back. [her face falls a bit, and she looks serious] An'...in light of recent events, I was wondering if the Institute would like some of the proceeds to help with whatever repairs are needed to help get the school, its students, an'd its faculty back on their feet after that terrible tragedy.
[a pause, and she settles for a subdued smile this time around.]
The auction will be silent, and will utilise the communicators. We have a volunteer who will regulate the auction as it goes on and as the number of donations hopefully go up. Winners of the auction and their dates will be granted free admission to the ball on the 24th, and this includes free alcoholic drinks and desserts.
The ball is open to both adults and an' kids, but we'll keep you two separated in your own rooms, don't worry. Adult tickets are $80 while couples are $140. With kids, your tickets are $50 an' if you want to go as a couple the two of you could get in for $80. Again, most of the proceeds will go towards funding repairs to the City and the like.
[HERE'S ANOTHER DOWNLOAD. IT INCLUDES THE TICKET PRICES, INFORMATION ON HOW TO BUY THEM aka that shit will be handwaved AND DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE which is a really nice hotel in a nicer part of the city. it also mentions that dinner will be served and that live music will be played for both adults and children. it also mentions that by CHILDREN she means 17 and under, while adults are 18+.
it states that guests should arrive at the venue at around seven-thirty. children go home around 10:30-11, while the adult portion ends around 12:30-1.]
[AND WITH ALL THAT OUT OF THE WAY, sally leans forward a bit, smile growing wider.]
I hope you're all excited about this as I am! I'm urging the entire City to participate in any way they can.
[and by entire City, she means.......the good populace........]
