When: October 30, 2015
Where: Stately Wayne Manor
What: The annual Halloween charitable costume party
In spite of Damian's grumbling, Bruce did look forward to the tradition that brought the community together to raise money for a good cause - this year it would be the implementation of a breakfast program for underprivledged schoolchildren- and adding a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. It also, he admitted, warmed him to see the house alive, the way it had been when his parents were alive. Bruce might not have much use for the holidays himself, but as much as they made him remember his childhood, achingly bittersweet, it also brought back memories of Dick's. Jason and Tim too, to some extent, but Dick had taken joy in every aspect of those days. He was the reason Bruce remembered them at all.
Other than these parties, which were as much in honor of his parents and his commitment to Gotham than the city's needs. This year there was no theme, but Alfred had, as always, outdone himself with the decorations, the Manor looking even more gothic than usual, which was quite a feat. Food heaped upon tables lining the room, and a live band that smoothly transitioned between styles of music occupied one corner of the ballroom.
His usual fake drink in hand, dressed as Superman, Bruce roamed the room, smile plastered across his face as he did his duty, greeting his guests and inviting them to enjoy themselves.
*Happy Halloween, everyone - please jump in!
