The Park, Friday Evening

Aug 23, 2013 12:18

Shortly before sunset, the party was ready to start. The park was decorated with classy black and white decorations, music was playing from hidden speakers, food and drinks were set up, there was a man from the bank with a stack of giant checks ( Read more... )

Arrive & Mingle willbethenight August 23 2013, 17:19:50 UTC

There was an archway into the party area where. See people and be seen here! Bruce's volunteer greeter, Karina, will be along to, well, greet people. She volunteered to do so. Hence the title.

Jaina wasn't a party person as much as she liked having things to do, so she figured she could show up for a while, grab a drink, and see who showed up.

And wonder about the giant checks.

"Hi, Ms. Solo," Karina said, smiling as she approached. "Glad to see you could make it."

Re: Arrive & Mingle solo_sword August 23 2013, 21:43:34 UTC

"Glad to see you too," Jaina told her. "I didn't know you were involved with this."

Food and Drink willbethenight August 23 2013, 17:20:54 UTC

Over by the duck pond (which was suspiciously free of ducks, perhaps because somebody bribed them….) was the buffet table and an open bar. The bartender wasn't going to ask questions, but remember, this is a benefit for orphans. Before you get drunk and dive in the pond, won't you think of the children?

The children who would probably love seeing pictures of exactly that, actually.

Re: Food and Drink makemyownway August 23 2013, 20:20:13 UTC

Cade was here for the open bar because, well, Cade and benefit galas for orphans weren't really things that mixed.

Though he was drinking a beer and musing if he could get one of those giant checks, being an orphan himself and all...

"Cade, right?" she checked. "Hi, I'm Karina. We shared Professor Wiggin's class this semester. How are you enjoying the party?"

Re: Food and Drink makemyownway August 23 2013, 21:30:51 UTC

"Much better than Ender's class," Cade said, hoisting his beer. "You?"

Shadowy Corners willbethenight August 23 2013, 17:21:43 UTC

It's a park. There weren't "shadowy corners" so much as there were "areas under all the trees." But whatever, man. WHATEVER.

Talk to Bruce willbethenight August 23 2013, 17:22:34 UTC

Well, he's finally showed up, a drink in his hand and a really nice suit on the rest of him. He'll be making the rounds, but if anyone specifically wants to track him down, he's here.

Re: Talk to Bruce solo_sword August 23 2013, 17:50:05 UTC

Of course Jaina had to go say hi. "Welcome back," she greeted him.

Re: Talk to Bruce willbethenight August 23 2013, 19:46:24 UTC

"Thank you, Jaina. As always, I'm glad to see you here," Bruce said. "Are you still teaching?"

Re: Talk to Bruce solo_sword August 23 2013, 20:14:12 UTC

"Not now," Jaina replied. "I'm not sure how long I'm going to be here, so I'd rather not lock myself in. What about you, what are you doing back here?"

Novelty Checks willbethenight August 23 2013, 17:23:33 UTC

Would you like to donate something to local orphanages? If you'd like, there's someone from the bank here willing to turn your donation into a giant novelty check to the local orphanages. Any amount of money will be accepted as low as one dollar. And then you get the joy of giving a giant check to Bruce Wayne to give to the kids, but let's be honest, the draw here is the giant check.

Re: Novelty Checks icecoldfrost August 23 2013, 20:25:09 UTC

Considering that the Emma from the reunion weekend had been a heavy donor to Bo and Kenzi's orphanage, Emma figured she might as well start her philanthropy early. Besides, it was a tax write-off.

So here she was, writing a fairly substantial check for the cause. It meant she'd have to cut down on her back-to-school wardrobe, but she could make it work.

Re: Novelty Checks hoorayimrich August 23 2013, 23:22:23 UTC

Tony rolled his eyes in amusement at the novelty checks before checking his bank account to see how much he could afford between school and funding his own endeavors.

Yeah, that was still weird to have to do.

Re: Novelty Checks myownface August 23 2013, 23:38:31 UTC

Sparkle wasn't going to make a big deal out of it or anything. He wasn't even all that concerned about the giant cheques. He could take them or leave them.

But he had a couple hundred dollars, pretty much everything he had managed to save up between his two jobs this month, and some little kid could probably put it to better use than him, anyhow. He was stocked up on cat supplies, and was really just going to spend it on weed and booze otherwise.

If any of this money ended up wrapped up in red tape somewhere along the line, he was going to punch someone.
