WHEN: Sunday March 29
WARNINGS: B|
SUMMARY: the superhero formal. Will things explode?
FORMAT: whatever you feel like


There are extensive tables for hor d'oeuvres, small desserts, and champagne as well as an open bar. Room for dancing is obvious, flanked by a small group of musicians. And there are alcoves for the shy, the hiding, the amorous, the machinating, or the creeper lurking.

Comments

Selina returned the blond stranger's nod. Something about his stiffness, the slight air of bored disapproval, reminded her a bit of Alfred.

"Looks to be an interesting evening," she said softly, a hint of amusement in her voice.

True to her assessment, Owen was indeed giving the room an only-half interested glance-over, taking in the positions of people in relation to objects, taking a sip of the champagne before replying to her.

"A well-done, if so far fairly standard affair," was his reply. "They will talk, they will drink, and they will dance, and everyone will say it was a wonderful evening." A slight smile into the rim of his wine glass, as though enjoying a thought known only to himself. "Barring incident or partycrashers, of course."

Selina gave a slight laugh, sipped her own champagne. "Considering the crowd, I'd almost be disappointed if there weren't any incidents or party crashers."

It was true she enjoyed a night out. But Selina had to admit that the potential entertainment was also a draw. "I doubt you'll be bored for long, Mr..."

"Stonehenge." Better to give this name than the other -- few knew the other thus far to even make it worth mention, particularly in a place of social gathering such as this. But then, amended. "Or Burnett, if you so prefer."

"And considering the crowd, I would tend to agree."

Selina's smile widened. "Mr. Burnett, then. I believe you received a package from me. By courier."

Indeed? Owen's brows shifted upward slightly, turning his head briefly to take her in anew -- and with considerably more interest.

"Received and assigned as designated. A pleasure to meet you in person, madame."

"Likewise." Selina took another sip, then offered the man her hand to shake. The comparison to Alfred was at once more apt and somewhat comforting. "It's actually been quite a while since I met with any of my financial advisers in person."
