WHO: Calendar Man, Joseph Kavinsky & YOU!
WHERE: De Chima Civil War Museum Gala, the streets of De Chima
WHEN: The Fourth of July!
WHAT: In Which There Is A Gala, Which Is Crashed, There Are Eagle Fireworks, Giant Uncle Sam, and the Declaration of Independence Is Almost Stolen
WARNINGS: Violence, injury, probably foul language, chaos, nigh-desecration of patriotic sensibilities, let me know if I should edit more in!
(( OOC: Please see this plot post! And if you're participating in any of the fights, you'll want to look at this follow-up too! Hit either of those up if you have any questions or issues, thank you! ))
THE GALA
The museum's gone all out for the exhibit, "240 years of America!", proud to be the host.
While there are American flags everywhere, the decoration is mostly tasteful but undoubtedly patriotic in nature. Everything seems to be a shade of red, white or blue.
A pair of smartly-dressed greeters at the lobby check tickets and coats, and for imPorts a flash of their tattoos in the dim light will get them through.
Once inside, the museum has a broad open floor-plan with large entrance-ways. Just past the lobby is the large main hall hosting the gala, the museum café with the open bar to the right, activities for the children or young at heart to the left, and the exhibit in the back.
The activities include presentations on American history, with actors in costume. There's also a whole row of costumes for dress-up and reenactment, from all sorts of time periods. There's even a museum-wide scavenger hunt you can get a list for from an attendant.
The main hall is split between a wide open space for dancing, and dozens of round tables with red white and blue flowers, and alternating table cloths in the same colours. The Café area has a buffet table, with a wide variety of cuisine, and some vegan and vegetarian options. And be sure to have a drink at the open bar.
There are quite a number of locals, those interested in history, local politicians, and of course, quite a few there for a chance to meet imPorts. Everyone is dressed to the nines, and be sure to appreciate all the fashions on display.
From 6-8 pm of the evening guests can relax, enjoy themselves, and partake of the festivities. They may even admire the artifacts on display, from all eras in American history, at least something from every war America has participated in, and many personal items of American presidents and other historical figures. The rest of the museum is open to those who came to gala, including quite a lot of important Civil War artifacts.
After eight, however, things get quite a bit messier.
THE FIREWORKS
There's quite a lot you can conceal in a suit jacket, if it's tailored just right, and nobody tailors like a dream thief. Nonetheless, laden with five rockets, his outfit does sit a little oddly on Kavinsky's frame, so he's grateful for the sweltering heat of summer. He carries his jacket over his arm, and leaves a greeter frowning at his rude reply. July the 4th is his favorite. It's a good day to be alive. Or you know. Not alive, whatever floats your boat.
Anyone who recognizes him immediately knows there's something strange about his presence here. He plays on his phone through a couple reenactments, and then sets off a proximity alarm to a handsome painting. He waves hello here or there. He has a bit to drink, is told he can't smoke.
And then at eight, he drops off his jacket and lights it on fire.
A waiter is the first casualty, running heroically toward the smoking garment with a fire extinguisher. When he's only five feet away, the whole thing suddenly bursts into light and heat and screaming noise. Five massive eagles, made of golden flame, erupt into the air. They immediately shoot apart from each other, shrieking, blowing over wineglasses, singeing paintings, and chasing patrons. They aren't the most dangerous thing this world has seen, but it is utter pandemonium for five minutes until they're spent.
CALENDAR MAN & UNCLE SAM
And after that, comes Calendar Man.
Julian Day has been looking forward to this for quite some time. On June 14th, Flag Day, he had even gone ahead and stolen the George Washington costume from the hit musical Franklin! for this purpose. With so many reenactors around, Julian easily slips inside during the chaos caused by his recruited fellow; just one of the actors, one dressed as George Washington.
Then he quietly starts stealing things. The alarms are already blaring by this point anyway. And just as the fireworks start to end, Calendar Man gets ready to summon his monster.
In the middle of the exhibit, visible to both those viewing the artifacts and those attending the gala, the rotting corpse of Uncle Sam seems to step out of the air itself, massive and terrifying. It's about 18 feet tall, and its top hat skims the ceiling, causing lights to fall and crash.
Julian takes that exact moment to smash the glass holding the Declaration of Independence and steal his final prize. His triumph achieved, Calendar Man calls to his creation, who lifts him from the ground.
Being raised up in the hands of his creation, Calendar Man raises his voice above the din, and cries: "Wishing you all a happy Fourth of July from Calendar Man, De Chima!"
Just so that everyone knows who's responsible.
The Uncle Sam joins in with booming laughter, oddly filtered as if it were speaking through a 60-year-old radio. Its voice, similarly eerie and echoed, is loud. "Stand and fight!"
The gala, already ruined after the fireworks, gets worse as the attendees panic, tripping over themselves to get out of the way. Soon the fight will start, and there’ll be plenty of people to rescue, structures to keep from collapsing, and artifacts to save.

But she still stands out and that means that he has noticed something else. "Are you sure you can handle all you're drinking?"
There's a big brother mode that gets activated every now and then before he can stop it.
no subject
"I...had a lot to eat before I started," she says after a startled moment, with a smile, and her sudden self-consciousness dims her glow substantially. "I'll be fine, but thank you! It's nice of you to be concerned."
And this is a party, it's all about meeting new people, so she holds out a hand. "I'm Kara. Danvers."
no subject
Although she seems pretty sober, so who knows? Maybe supersober powers are a thing here too. He'd not be surprised, after everything he has heard.
no subject
Leonard Snart is not a common name. She's only heard it once before, in fact, just a few days ago when she and Barry had been plowing through a tabletop covered in doughnuts and telling each other stories of their villains.
Please observe this train wreck of a faux-casual posture and expression. "Are you from Central City, maybe? I'm just curious, you just seem like you might be from Central City."
no subject
And likely know him from the same improv class, if he had to guess. That's a very distinct Barry vibe he is getting there and his feelings about Barry are very rarely wrong. There is that exact same impulse tugging on his lips, widening his smile as he looks her over again.
Cute.
no subject
And suddenly acutely aware of being Kara Danvers, personal assistant right now and not Supergirl, that makes things a little more messy, why does an average ordinary PA know the Flash? "And he might have mentioned you in passing. Maybe."
no subject
He words it like this on purpose. Could just mean Barry being in costume or could also mean her in costume. Her reaction might be able to tell him a little more.
This is fun, he has definitely missed playing these games. "Might have mentioned me maybe? I'm honoured that the mention stuck with you. Maybe."
no subject
And actually, technically, she hadn't been in costume at the time. He'd saved her from falling off a building. Granted, he hadn't needed to, she would have been fine, but he hadn't known that, so it had been a hero saving a civilian, just like any ordinary day, so there.
"We talked about a lot of villains," she adds, and almost can't suppress the little so there hmph at the end.
no subject
Meanwhile, her? She's still just straight up cute. The saltiness doesn't seem to cancel out the sweetness in her case.
"Is that what heroes do? I should bring that up the next time I'm chilling like a villain, find someone to just discuss the Flash with." No, he's not hiding that he - supposedly - is a villain. Not if he can make a cold pun. Which might have just cause a shiver to run up Kara's spine, due to Leonard's uniquely useless power.
no subject
If he thinks she's cute now, he'll be delighted by the little eep of surprise when she feels a little frisson down her spine, although she doesn't know what caused it. She's looking around for the source, or maybe her super-sense going off that there's danger around.
It takes her a few seconds too many to turn back and deny, "Oh, I'm, I'm not a hero, no, he saved me, that's, that's all it was." Also technically true!
no subject
"I see. I shouldn't have assumed, it's just that you brighten the room up like a hero might."
There's just the hint of a sly smile accompanying the words. "Nice to meet you. Even if you're not a hero."
no subject
"Nope, just, that's just what I can do now, I guess," she says with a shrug and a helpless smile. "I'm just Kara. Um, nice to meet you too, Leonard."
Barry had called him Snart or Cold and once he'd slipped up and called him Len but hadn't seemed to notice, so Kara's just going with what seems most reasonable from the introduction.
no subject
He's judging by her exclamation about parties from before. Pays to have a good memory, makes connections like this a lot easier. "What charmingly quirky job did they assign you?"
A way to learn more about her, judging by all he's heard about job assignments so far.

"Really? That's interesting, I didn't, um. I don't usually listen to gossip? Some of Catco's publications are, um, they deal with that...stuff...but I'm not very good at it. It's just. It's mean."
no subject
"Maybe you can do nice gossip. Can't be that difficult, for someone like you." Someone who was pure sunshine, judging by first impressions and he tended to trust those.
no subject
Even those brief thoughts have dimmed her glow again, which is what she notices first, and then she forces a smile that isn't backed up by an increase in the light. "That's a good idea, I think I will try it. Thanks, Leonard."
