Winter Gala

[justaddh2o]

WHO: Everyone
WHERE: Jeopardy
WHEN: Saturday, December 21 from 5:00 p.m. onward into the early morning hours of Sunday, December 22.
WHAT: The Winter Gala Fundraiser for Jeopardy Relief Efforts
WARNINGS: Please include any necessary warnings in your TLs.
NOTES: This post will serve as a catch-all for logs for the entire event (though you’re also welcome to post things elsewhere, of course).

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well, mostly. In the wake of a near-apocalyptic event, the city of Jeopardy is in need. What started out as an idea to advertise Rikki Chadwick's burgeoning business, after a little more planning and nabbing some ideas from Kenzi's post, she and Rupert have reconfigured and rebranded their idea to focus less on her and more on the relief effort.


Characters will enter the venue after giving a small donation at the door and they will be greeted by a large room lit in blues, soft pinks, and purples. From the ceilings hang snowflakes made of glass. The centerpieces are also made of glass. Come to think of it, nearly all the decorations are made of glass. Except, that is, the mistletoe hanging from several of the rafters and archways. A buffet-style dinner will be served from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at which point, the buffet tables and seating tables will be cleared away to make room for the makeshift stage for the DJ and a gigantic dance floor.

Drinks will be flowing, music will be playing, and people will be bidding on silent auctions to win everything from one of the centerpieces to a date with their favorite imPort and everything in between. So, eat, drink, and be merry until you can't stay awake any longer. Why not? It's all for a good cause, after all.

[ he raises an eyebrow, a far cry away from the man dressed as a bat that he met on the streets before. ]

I don't know. Why come in the first place?

[desmodusdraculae]

[Kirk has grown far more comfortable with utilizing his reputation as a monster than he ever has at actual human socialization. He barely had a handle on it before the accident.]

Masochism? [Another hint of dry, self-deprecating humor.]

I guess I just wanted to help.

[the_caped_crusader]

Could have just dropped off a check.

[ he takes a sip from his glass, eyeing kirk peripherally. ]

Maybe you wanted to come.

[desmodusdraculae]

[He shrugs, arms still crossed in front of him.]

Will, my best friend in college, used to drag me to parties all the time. After a while, I stopped arguing.

Perhaps he bullied it out of me.

[ bruce smiles into his glass; teasing. ]

Did he also bully you into standing under the mistletoe?

[desmodusdraculae]

[Kirk, rather than opting to see if it was the truth or a bluff, brushes Bruce's glass hand away from his face and goes in straight for the kill. His kiss is soft, if not a bit physically cold. He maintains the kiss for several seconds, his eyes never leaving Bruce's, before resuming his original position propping up the wall.]

You should have led with what you wanted, Wayne.

[ bruce doesn't flinch, as though he needs to maintain his stoicism in the face of such a bold power move, but he does gently wipe at his bottom lip with a thumb. ]

Hell of a night this is turning out to be. I usually like to have dinner first.

[desmodusdraculae]

[Kirk never breaks eye contact; his smile not quite genuine, but inching into a smirk either. He leans forward.]

Let me guess--you're an Italian restaurant kind of man. A place with high price tags and low lighting. Where you can get... [He inches closer.] intimate with your date.

I'm sure there must be somewhere nearby that fits that criteria.

[the_caped_crusader]

Actually, Kirk...

[ now that the initial shock is over, kirk won't find bruce that thrown off guard. instead, he's met with the same subtle smirk as he leans forward in kind. ]

I like to eat in my cave. Alone.

[desmodusdraculae]

[Kirk just... stares.]

Wow, I thought I was the pathetic one here. Glad to know we apparently have something else in common other than the.... ears.
