Who: 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.

Mindy pushed and weaved through the crowd, and if Jason was eagle eyed enough he would see her hat-wearing head duck into the hall of mirrors.

So that's where she was going, huh? Well, there were few better places to lose someone with supervision. He followed in only after making sure Mia was still distracted, glancing back to the booth to confirm she was indeed not looking his way.

With a small, almost self-congratulatory nod, he opened the door and strolled into the house of mirrors. Now if he could only find his "date".

Mindy looked around, trying to find a place to hide out but everything was ultimately a dead end. She considered ripping a mirror off the wall and hiding behind it, but that could give off too much of a trail.

She looked up, nothing to grab on to.

In the end Jason found her staring at a mirror which obscured her in such away that she was accordion shaped, pretending to smile.

"Hey." It didn't seem like any other greeting was really needed. Jason approached slowly, hands in his pockets and expression neutral, if ... confused, slightly.

"You wanna tell me what that was all about?" It seemed a valid question.

As soon as she heard Jason, her smile fell off her face.

"No." Mindy said, scuffing her shoe on the rubbery ground that this tiny structure had, a measure to keep kids who fell over from getting seriously hurt.

"You can talk to me, you know. But if you'd rather wait, that's cool, too."

Another pause, but this question had to be asked. "Tell me the truth on this, at least. Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

She scowled at him. "Why should I tell you anything?" she asked, marching up to him. "I don't even know you." She got close, standing on her tiptoes and glaring at him. "Also," she whispered. "This place echoes like crazy, Einstein."
