DRUMROLL PLEASE...

WHO: Everyone participating and attending the CHARITY BENEFIT. Don't forget to tag yourselves!
WHERE: One of the City's many fancy, large event ballrooms
WHEN: FRIDAY, the 5th, 5 PM onward
WARNINGS: Doubtfully any?
SUMMARY: It's the big night at last! FOR YOUR OWN REFERENCE: Bidding results have been posted here.
FORMAT: Whatever is your pleasure.


The night is here at last. Please make sure you're dressed as nicely as you're able, and take care to donate at the door if you're able -- it's not required, but it's all too a good cause. Upon entering the ballroom you'll see many tables laid out with white tablecloths and place settings; feel free can sit and order something, the restaurant is open until 11PM and the bar opens at 8PM. In the left corner is the table where at any given hour or half hour interval you can find someone signing autographs and photos for imPorts or natives alike. The schedule reads:
ERIDAN AMPORA, 5PM - 5:30PM
DEPUTY MAYOR EDWARD NYMGA, 5:30PM - 6PM
CAPTAIN METROPOLIS, 6PM - 6:30PM
MORDIN SOLUS, 6:30PM - 7PM
BEAST, 7PM - 8PM
HUNTRESS, 8PM - 9PM
GREEN ARROW, 9PM - 10PM
WILD TIGER, 10PM - 11PM
IRON MAN, 11PM - 12AM

In the right corner is the auction set-up; at 8PM sharp the auctioneer will set up a ballot for silent bids to be placed, and announce the highest bids at 15 minute intervals. Good luck! It should be wrapped, like the signings, at 12 midnight. Have fun tonight, Cityzens, eat, drink, be merry, and bid until your desired option has been pried from your cold not-dead fingers. At 12:15 the WINNING BIDS will be announced.

Congratulations, everyone; you have raised $136,022! Below are separate mingling threads to utilize as you'd like: there's loads to do, just mind the clock. As usual, don't be shy about new CR!

Eddie glanced between the two men, keeping his own person separate.

“All right, well,” he said. The falsehood Gilbert had uttered was known to at least two of the three men in that company, and the untruth unspoken made Eddie all the more uncomfortable. But he wouldn't utter 'falsehood' in the face of something so trivial -- nor would he sabotage Gil's effort to save that face.

"Try to at least enjoy it, won't you?" A message directed to Gilbert alone. As Eddie glanced over Nelson, his smug smirk returned.

"Someone has to."
retropolis: (ℳ | he's right behind me isn't he)

"I'm sure that we'll both enjoy it just fine," Nelson said, with mild indignation. He shook his head and re-crossed his arms, before he glanced uneasily around the room.

"Let's stay in touch, Gilbert," he added, rubbing his neck. "And Mr. Deputy Mayor, we'll see each other on Monday regardless. I-I ought to get going shortly too. I have to find someone before I head home."
invoking: (constantly surprised.)

"Uh, yes. That's right..." His hands rummaged around his suit for a moment before patting over his pockets to where his important belongings were. (No, he wasn't going to leave them in his coat, even if someone was standing by them the entire night.)

"I can give you my number later," he said.
