[As he's setting the camera up on something, Curtis looks a little uncertain. Once he gets it stable on the edge of the roof he's standing on, Curtis puts on his usual grin and steps back enough so that he can be seen.Hello, City! It's Freedom Ring. Glad to see the City wasn't wiped out by...y'know...big and ugly tentacle face. Sorry I couldn't

"Date Auction?" [The incredulity is so strong it almost reads through text.]

You would think, by now, that the City would be insured against 'Acts of God'.

[Curtis nods.] Yeah, there was a date auction. unch of the Imports got auctioned off for dates and the money went towards fixing the City.

Pretty sure there's no insurance for 'Acts of Tentacled Horror'. And even still, insurance only helps so much.

It's surprising anyone stays in the city at all.

What sort of charity event were you planning to set up this time?

[free_dumb_ring]

Surprising anyone stays anywhere. [He shrugs.] We get free housing and all that stuff here.

A charity concert! [Curtis grins.]

[sh_consulting]

I should specify. Surprising anyone who isn't an ImPort stays at all.

.. A Charity concert. [Music being one of those things that Sherlock knew absolutely nothing about - deleting it all as soon as it touched his mind.]

[free_dumb_ring]

Lots of reasons. Maybe people can't leave. Maybe they want to stick close to the action. Maybe they're just too stubborn. You'd need to go ask 'em.

[Big grin.] Oh yeah! Get Imports with musical talent together and put on a show, give the money towards fixing up the City, and everyone has a good time.

[sh_consulting]

I see. And you expect to raise a good deal of money with this venture...?

[free_dumb_ring]

Well, not as much as the date auction but it's gotta make some money. And there's more than just the money. After some big huge attack like that and during a holiday that lots of people love...[He shrugs.] song, dance, fun...gotta build morale back up just like we do the City itself.

[Sherlock sighs. How dull. But he's at least aware enough of how the rest of humanity works that he can see the logic, even if it doesn't apply to himself.]

Whatever you think is best.

Let's hope some other people agree with me on this being a good idea.
