Factor Industries Charity Event: October 18th, 2016

Even for Benjamin Factor, arranging this charity event had been something of a challenge. Just as he held great influence in Gateway City, Thunder Corp's influence in Locke was great as well. But with time and money, all things were indeed possible in this case, and the Memorial Dance Hall was playing host to the night's events. It was a glamorous affair: politicians, captains of business, dignitaries, and celebrities had been invited. For whatever controversy that existed, the world legitimately wanted to heal the wounds left by the invasion, and that meant there were a lot of people who wanted to use events like this to either advance that cause, or to make themselves look good.

But they weren't the only sorts of individuals who had recieved an invitation.

Benjamin Factor had also made it so the Numbered would be invited to his little party. Arrivals through the teleporter would be greeted by drivers at the community center, and the same courtesy was extended to anyone who might live in Locke. The only stipulation? Was that anyone who came make an effort to make themselves presentable. If that was a problem, or anyone arrived without knowing, they had clothes on hand for people to change into.

Indeed, it seemed that the Numbered would be well provided for tonight. That being said, their presence would get people to talk, given the presence of news crews making live coverage. Nevertheless... "getting people to talk" seemed to be exactly what Benjamin Factor wanted to happen.

Mommy caught you misbehaving or... something.

God, kids better not be this bad or she's vetoing any and all family-raising.

Marina huffed, looking over to Jasmine as she approached. "They're like really dumb puppies." Ouch.
jasminebloominginshadow: (say what-?!)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-10-21 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Dumb puppies who can apparently dress themselves?" Jasmine growled. "How... where did you even get those outfits?!"

She groans, and rubs her forehead. "Lily...! I just told Lily I left all of you at home! How did they even get in?!"

The Snackies just... look at each other, then at Jasmine and Marina, and shrug. Then, they point over at the eccentric businessman doing card tricks, as if that answered anything. Perhaps they were going "ask him!", as if they somehow realized he was the one in charge.

It wasn't the worst explanation actually, if only because he seemed like the sort of guy who might okay letting these things in. "They did have outfits for guests who couldn't afford them..."

Marina crossed her arms, frowning down at the Snackies. Hopefully they could see the disappointment clear as day. "You guys better not cause any trouble."

Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, so they didn't steal them," she said. "That's a relief."

Jasmine did wonder, however, if the people in charge of security had some weird idea of a joke. The Snackies however, nodded fearfully at Marina's words.

"Ki!" they said. They didn't want to earn either woman's wrath!
dragon_blossom: (A master is out)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-10-25 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Whose wrath was worse though? Who indeed? Think very carefully on that, creatures. "No, I don't think they could steal anything like that competently." They'd get the wrong size for sure.

"...what do we do with them?"
jasminebloominginshadow: (say what-?!)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-10-27 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
"What do we do with them?" Jasmine asked, repeating her fiance's question. Her brow furrowed in thought... and she sighed.

"We're getting them out of here," she said, grabbing at a Snackey's wrist. "Come on, we're taking you guys out the back."

The Snackies eyes widened. "Ki!" they exclaimed. Their master wanted them to leave? But... why...?
dragon_blossom: (pic#1476520)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-10-30 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Out back...? Okay, no, they aren't taking Old Snacker out behind the shed just out the back door to avoid being seen, but she's not surprised they're protesting.

"I mean, they'll just be stuck sitting outside, right? They're already here..." Although she did want them gone, really.

jasminebloominginshadow: (staring at you)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-10-31 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but... if they're here they could start a fight. I mean, they attacked Lily, Marina...!"

At the mention of that, the Snackies appeared absolutely crestfallen. They even looked ashamed for having made their mistress so unhappy.

... Jasmine frowns. Yes, again.

"Look, guys, there's a job for you out there, okay? You have to get back to the house and watch over it until we get back. I'm trusting only YOU three with this."

She shot Marina a look that said "play along".
dragon_blossom: (A master is out)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Watch over the house? Jasmine could hardly trust them to-oh right.

Yeah, they might pick a fight with a magical girl or something stupid like that. "Yeah, seriously. You guys have been doing a good job of that one lately."
jasminebloominginshadow: (ego)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-06 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Jasmine nodded. "You've earned this responsibility... and if you do a good job, I may give you more responsibilities in the future!"

The Snackies... eyes lit up. They smiled and posed.

"KII!" they cried in unison. They wouldn't let their mistress down!
dragon_blossom: (*wink*)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-06 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"See? Working your way up the ladder. Good job." Now please leave.
jasminebloominginshadow: (smirk)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-07 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Job advancement! They could definitely get behind this! They let out more "Kii!"'s of acknowledgement.

"Alright then, the 'kii's' have it. Now come on."

And now she's leading them to the exit, motioning for Marina to follow.
dragon_blossom: (A master is out)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-07 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Marina's following. Not commenting, trying to be subtle, and following. She's pretty sure she'll manage to blow it if she blabbers on too much.
jasminebloominginshadow: (unsure)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-07 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
And... soon enough, they have them out the door. Jasmine waves them off, before slumping against Marina and sobbing.

"You know, Lily warned me this might happen..."

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-07 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Thank goodness. She wraps an arm around Jasmine, rubbing her shoulder. "That they'd follow you around?"
jasminebloominginshadow: (embarassed)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Jasmine replied, leaning her head against Marina's shoulder. "This very evening, in fact. I told her it'd be fine, too..."
dragon_blossom: (A master is out)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-13 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sighing, Marina held Jasmine against herself. "Well it's fine now."
jasminebloominginshadow: (sigh)

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"... Yeah," Jasmine replied, nodding. "No reason to let it ruin the night anymore. Let's... head inside?"
dragon_blossom: (lol ok)

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Umi nodded. "Up for a dance? Or just wanna take it easy?"
jasminebloominginshadow: (kind smile)

wrap us?

[personal profile] jasminebloominginshadow 2015-11-17 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Jasmine smiled. "A dance sounds good," she said. "But I wanna take it easy a bit first."
dragon_blossom: (Why do I talk to these people)

Aye!

[personal profile] dragon_blossom 2015-11-17 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Then let's do that. Those little guys are stressful..."
