Factor Industries Charity Event: October 18th, 2016

[ceofactor]

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.

Excuse you, Rakka is the perfect example of a new twenty-year old adult. She wakes up in the morning on her own, makes her own tea, and pays the internet bill all by herself.

That said, now that she had finally stopped focusing on the food, her gaze rested comfortably on this new face, one she was positive that she'd never seen before but he seemed to want to speak to her. So how could she refuse that? "Oh..." She blushed sheepishly. "Well..."

"YES." Not one for picking up on the mood, Fougere happily chimed in with a mouthful of cheeses.

"...We are, yes."

... Yeah. They were both kids. Tobias kept smiling, bit he was more than a bit amazed at what these two had been through and survived.

"Well, eat up," he replied. "It's free, right? As for speaking... it wasn't your first time doing it, right?"

[charcoalfeather]

Despite how they may act here... yeah, they were kids, but Rakka was still a hero.

"It is free, that's right." Rakka nodded. Fougere didn't need to say anything before digging in. And seeing as how it was Rakka he wanted, she was fine to keep talking to this unfamiliar face.

"Uhh, no? I actually talked at the parliament in Japan back before the invasion."
