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.

"Geez."

Rose reaches up to sweep her hair back out of her face, giving a mild grunt at the apology. "You'd think people would at least notice we have a different dress on, or something."

"... I'm sorry," she repeated. "I... I know what it's like... to feel compared to someone else."

Of course, it was Molly who did the comparing. Mana's shadow loomed large.

"... I... I would like to talk to you as you, though. Your name is Rose, right?"

Rose blinks a bit, confused. She looks back to her food, then to Molly, and sighs. Talking to people was what she was afraid of, wasn't it? She's a bit surprised, actually, as not a lot of people seemed to be approaching her with that particular perspective.

"...I guess I can appreciate that much."

She shakes her head. "So, what's your deal?"

"Ah, well-"

Molly thought for a moment. Maybe it'd be a bit too soon to drop all of who she was on Rose like this. "Well, I live in Locke City," she said. "I live here with my aunt. I'm still trying to figure out how... I fit into everything, I guess."

Rose sighs and gives an annoyed little snort. She considers just eating and ignoring the girl, but she presses a little further.

"I don't mean that. I mean... you're Numbered, right?"
abundantlove: (uncomfortable laughter)

Molly's eyes widened again, and she began to twirl her hair in nervousness. "Ahahaha, well," she said. "Yeah, I'm Numbered. I've been one for a couple months now. It took me a while before I felt confident to talk on the Network..."
