HIV Awareness Fundraiser. Open Thread.

[olliequeen]

The party is in a large, classically-decorated ballroom, hundreds and hundreds of tiny white lights brighten the room.

A live orchestra is playing in one corner of the room, waiters and waitresses handing out Hors d'oeuvres from silver trays, along with glasses of fine wine and champagne.







Open twitter-verse based thread, but feel free to tag even if you're not necessarily in the verse, if your character wants to attend or has a passion for the cause.

Chloe - All around

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She had been double checking every detail around the room since they got there, the guests were starting to pour in and she wanted to make sure she caught any problems before anyone else noticed.

Oliver came up behind her, sliding his arms around her waist and pressing a soft kiss to her shoulder, resting his chin there a second later. "Looks great," he said softly.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe blinked and smiled, leaning back into him and taking a deep breath, "thank you," she whispered to him, "I hope everything works out okay, it seems to be in order so far."

Michael - Walking around

[mirrorsmirk.livejournal.com]

He definitely had a drink in his hand, not that he was downing it very quickly at all. It was more of something to keep his hands busy. Tapping the side of the glass nervously, he paced around the room.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver smirked a little at him, raising an eyebrow. "Relax," he told him with a hint of amusement.

[mirrorsmirk.livejournal.com]

Michael glanced at him, still tapping the glass. "I'm completely relaxed."

Mia spotted him pacing and walked over, a small grin on her face. She could guess what he was thinking about, he looked like he was going to be facing a firing squad instead of a Bachelor Auction at the end of the night. "Hey, cowboy. Nice suit."

[mirrorsmirk.livejournal.com]

Michael turned when he heard her voice, smiling when he saw her. Leaning down, he kissed the side of her cheek. "Thanks. You look beautiful."

Oliver--Standing near the orchestra.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

There was a glass of champagne in his hand as he glanced around, watching as people began to arrive and mingle.

Tess -- Watching from the sidelines

[have_no_mercy]

She'd arrived with Zod, but for the moment, they'd gone their separate ways. Tess was engaging in some people watching and - reluctantly - admiring how well put together everything was.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Oliver offered her a genuine smile as he moved to her side.

[have_no_mercy]

"Oliver," she says by way of greeting, offering him a small smile in return. "Quite the turnout you've got here."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe walked up to Tess when she noticed her, she had stopped checking on everything compulsively for the time being in order to greet her guests and she was sipping on a flute that was filled with sparkling water instead of champagne.

"Tess," she greeted with a smile, "good to see you here."

[have_no_mercy]

Tess half smiles back. "I'm glad to be invited."

[need2speed.livejournal.com]

"You came!" Mia rushed up to her, all bright eyes and pink lipgloss. "I wasn't sure if you'd be able to get away with the baby and all."

Carter Hall -- Roaming.

[warmace.livejournal.com]

He's technically here to hand over a check from private donors in honor of research and making sure already afflicted people have a support system in place, but he's also keeping an eye on potential security risks.

He's been doing events like this for a long time, so it's fairly easy to catch Carter's attention if people want to chat.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Gotta say. Didn't expect to see you here." Oliver smirked a little as he made his way over to Carter.

Mia - everywhere! But mostly the dance floor.

[need2speed.livejournal.com]

Mia had been bouncing around all night in her new dress, greeting people she knew and getting into the champagne when she thought no one was looking. And sampling the hors d'oeuvres. Couldn't let all the big bucks Ollie spent on catering go to waste.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver made his way over to her, grinning a little. "Hey, Kid." He wasn't used to seeing her all dressed up. "You look beautiful."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe saw the champagne, but decided not to say anything for the time being, she knew this wasn't exactly easy on Mia and it meant a lot that she had been so okay with this and actually helped Chloe with it as much as she had.

"Enjoying yourself?"

Clark - Being Inconspicious

[solarsteel.livejournal.com]

He's skirting the edges of the gathering; checking in with security, making sure the bartender is okay, eying the food table - basically Clark is mother henning everyone he can in hopes of staying out of the way and not making a spectacle of himself.

At some point he finds a glass of champagne in his hand, occasionally sipping some when chatted up by other guests.

[dp-lois.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you!" Lois' smile is bright as she makes her way over to him and hugs him.

[kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com]

Zod certainly isn't mother henning anyone, but he's trying not to make a spectacle of himself as well. If for different reasons. Thus it isn't overly surprising when the two Kryptonians' paths eventually cross, and though the Major is trying to avoid contact with familiar faces altogether, there's no escaping when he glances up from his drink and inadvertently meets the other man's gaze.

Zod -- Where the drinks are.

[kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com]

Zod hasn't been subjected to...people in a while, and now that Tess has abandoned him, he isn't overly eager to change that. So he's just going to get another drink, doing his best to blend in with his surroundings and escape the notice of the eyes he recognizes as well as those he doesn't.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

Oliver spots the major and slowly makes his way over to the other man, a little surprised to see him. "Major." He nods a little.
