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.

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."

"I clean up good when I have to," she said, twirling around to show off the whole package. "You're looking pretty GQ yourself. Planning on lowering Chloe's bank account a little in the auction?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you do," he agreed with a smile, his eyes bright. "Thanks." He glanced down at himself, then smirked. "And actually, she's promised me that she'll outbid everyone and she's using my account to do it."

"I guess the good news for you is that you'll definitely get a date with her. Even if you'll be broke for it." She imagined Oliver taking Chloe out to eat at the local burger barn in their fancy dress and laughed.

He grinned, shrugging. "For a good cause. Are you planning to try and win the bid for Michael?" He raised his eyebrows.

Mia nodded her head and her smile turned wicked. "I promised him I would. I think he's nervous about getting snatched up by some old white-haired biddy."

"Yeah, he mentioned that to me, too." He smirked. "You have enough money?"

[need2speed.livejournal.com]

"I've got $500." She bit her lip and looked up at him. "That should be enough, right?"

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," he says honestly, shrugging. "But if you need more, feel free to use the Visa."

"Really?" Her eyes brightened and she stood on tip-toe to give him a peck to the cheek. "I promise not to run off to Aruba with it."

He grinned at that. "You're welcome. Save me a dance later," he said with a wink. "And Mia?"

[need2speed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?"

"Don't drink too much more champagne," he said with a knowing smirk.

[need2speed.livejournal.com]

"It was only a taste," she muttered, rolling her eyes.

He chuckled, downing the rest of his drink as he headed away to find Chloe again.
