Backdated: Bruce Wayne's Charity Gala
WHO: Bruce Wayne, Any of the guests of honor who accepted the invitation (Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Adam, Isis) Anyone in the Press, Anyone who could afford a ticket, anyone who knows some one who could afford a ticket (Just about everyone should have at least one character who can attend)
WHAT: The Big Charity Gala to raise money for the Citizens of Qurac
WHEN: Evening of May 31st
WHERE: A big fancy building in Metropolis

It was the usual fair for a charity event. Lights, where hung up, but not as ostentatious as if they had been putting up decorations for a party to celebrate Bruce Wayne himself. Given how the last one of those had gone, it was probably for the best. There were gossip columnists, and entertainment reports standing outside talking about what people were wearing, numerous photographers taking pictures, which Bruce had to stop every few steps to pose for, with and without a throng of people to join him in the photo op.

Inside, were pictures of Qurac before its destruction, as well as details on its reconstruction, (of particular note highlighting Lex Luthors efforts to help the country) images of families, and information about how people can donate money, time or resources to help. Of course there was also the usual things one would find at fancy parties, waiters carrying food, and people in nice clothes engaged in shallow small talk.

And through it all Bruce Wayne moved, with a smile and a kind word for all of his guests (As well as two more kind words for himself)

Same deal as the birthday party thread, start a sub thread for individual conversations, if anyone wants to talk to Bruce post a sub thread and he shall appear.

If there was one thing that life with Bruce Wayne taught Dick it was that everything is about appearance. Everything. It didn't matter if you hated the activity in question, it all sold the part of bonehead billionaire. Something about acting and performing a role spoke to the entertainer in Dick and he embraced it whole heartily. So when the ostentatious stretch Hummer pulled up outside the gala, it was all according to plan.

The driver slipped from the front of the Hummer and walked the mile and a half to the back of the vehicle. The driver took the handle and opened the door for Dick and his party. The famous acrobat exited the vehicle and flashed the gathered crowd a grin that could only be described as a dazzling. He had to play it up a bit but finally he slapped the driver on the shoulder in a friendly gesture before stepping away from the curb. Dick adjusted his suit jacket before he made his way toward the front door. Grayson stopped only once for a picture with Bruce after a rather attractive reported practically screamed for the photo op. With that done, Dick pressed onward to the party itself.

Once inside the gala, Dick let the act slip down to his comfort level. He caught sight of a familiar butler and snagged a flute of "champagne" from Alfred. "Thanks for the champagne, Alfred." He winked at the older man and sipped his ginger ale. Dick took root towards the center of a crowd and mingled accordingly.

Dick Grayson's Arrival -- OT Damian Wayne & Barbara Gordon

Barbara loved her boyfriend. She really did! But she was glad that she was able to make a normal unobtrusive entrance to the gala. Once upon a time, she had liked being on his arm at these functions, but being the crippled girlfriend of the handsome heir to a massive fortune didn't hold the same appeal that it had had when she was able bodied. Plus, she just did more now, and while she appreciated the atmosphere that Bruce was creating tonight with the fundraiser, she couldn't shake of the nagging feeling that she was missing out on important work as she socialized.

Still, her presence had been requested, and it couldn't hurt her mental state to get out more. So she'd made the effort to look nice in her black dress. She spotted Dick from across the room and couldn't help but smile as she made her way towards him. He really did look good in a nice suit.

	Damian's sour look towards Babs didn't go unnoticed. "Well hello to you too, junior," she muttered. Her own bad mood didn't last long as when Dick came over to her. "Not so bad yourself." She grinned, running her fingers under the lapel of his tuxedo jacket. "Don't let me keep you from schmoozing. By all means..." She gestured back to the fray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Admittedly, I was hoping you might grace me with a little of your company tonight--that is if you aren't too busy with the other guests," Tommy gave her his best smile, settling the extra glass of champagne on a nearby table. "Your exploits are so well known. I was just hoping to hear some about it first hand." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
