mdc_universeWho: Everyone
What: 2nd Annual Carnival and Date Auction Charity Benefit
When: the week of July 4th
Where: Gotham
Interactions: OPEN
Warnings: This is an open event thread. Thread jacking, hopping, character romance, violence, and any and all things in between are possible. (But if you're going to do some private intimate things please make a separate thread about it)
The first most noticeable thing was the lights. In a perpetually dreary place like Gotham they could stay on no matter the time of day, casting a warm glow all about the streets and parks that had been connected to create the Charity Carnival. The streets were opened up during the day so that people could get to and from work, then in the evening they were blocked off so that pedestrians could meander about freely withoiut worrying about the cross walks. But whether in cars or on foot; they could always see the lights.
In the inter connected parks scattered around the Wayne Resilient tower there were myriad attractions:
Boothes where games could be played for prizes,
Rides,
Foods of all kinds (mostlly either fried or sugar coated),
and even a small section where locals had rented tables to sell arts and crafts that had been hand made.
And at the center of it all was the Wayne Resilient tower which contained a 5 star restaurant that was the staging area for the Celebrity Date Auction to be held later in the week.
Even the first two floors of the building had been repurposed into a kind of exhibit featuring current and upcoming Waynetech devices designed to improve the lives of the people who used them. Including the prototype for a brand new line of Waynetech smart cars. The event was in honor of the 4th of July but the entire week had been scheduled and included things like live music, fire breathers, gymnasts and a petting zoo.
And on the night of the 4th of course; a fantastic fireworks display arranged by Wayne Resilient with another new innovation of theirs; safe fireworks. Specially designed for sound and color and burst with no heat behind it to endanger fireworks handlers or civilians.
With everything that had been planned and all the staffing involved it was truly looking to be a week to remember.

Date: 2012-07-30 04:03 am (UTC)"But if you're not here with an escort, I insist on at least accompanying you around the carnival. If you disapprove, feel free to kick my ass. Every other woman I know does."

Date: 2012-07-30 05:48 am (UTC)Jason's smirk? Seemingly permanent. He could take it as well as anyone, and hell, this conversation with this little Cape (she had to be a cape of some kind; Jason was now convinced on this front) was some of the most fun he'd had in weeks.

Date: 2012-07-30 05:57 am (UTC)...Damn, Deep fried twinkies sounded good. "C'mon!" Mindy's hand shot out and she grabbed Jason's wrist. "I want a snack, let's get a snack." She started to pull Jason after her. She was so suddenly excited that she forgot to watch her strength and the result was likely that of being pulled after a racing car, just not at the same speed.

"I totally get you on Gotham, by the way. Sometimes it's hard to tell we have even more superheroes than Metropolis patrolling it."

Date: 2012-07-30 06:12 am (UTC)Small cost, really, for the chance to verify what he suspected, and also get a handle on her feelings for certain kinds of vigilantes. "It's harder, I guess, to make people fear you when you're not a living god from another planet. You want some cotton candy, too?"

Date: 2012-07-30 06:30 am (UTC)"So after this ... do we find the fastest ride or just the one with the greatest number of loops in a two-minute period?"

Date: 2012-07-30 06:41 am (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2012-07-30 06:51 am (UTC)No loops, two turns, and a few short 'hills'. Oh yeah, his heart was all a flutter. "Are you sure? Maybe you want something a little more hardcore: like the carousel."
