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.

That ... is a word to use, isn't it? Something about it causes a certain, familiar type of defense to claw its way up into Lily's consciousness, and she quietly crosses her arms for a moment. You can say many things about Lily Tsukuyomi and not have her bat an eyelash.

Her wife? Well, that's another matter.

"I'm ... not sure that's how I'd put it."

She frowns.

"But, no. What drew me to her was something else entirely."

"Mmm, it's not?" he replied. "Perhaps it'd be easier to say 'well known', then."

He continued to smile.

"Something else? I'd be interested in knowing what that might be."

Lily doesn't make eye contact with him, now speaking and looking considerably more stiff than before. She shakes her head just a little bit.

"Her kindness."

It's simple and to the point, but that's her answer.

Weller stares for a moment... before laughing, softly.

"Well said," he replied. "That's a quality most people should show. I can see now what's taken you two so far."
alilyinthemoonslight: (Yuri - listening)

Lily purses her lips, still holding herself a little defensively.

"It is, indeed. Sadly, it's also something in short supply in more places than it should be..."

She looks back at him, pointedly. "It'll take us as far as we need to go, though."

"I'm sure it will," Weller replied, offering a sincere-looking smile. "I think we need more kindness in this cruel world. Especially in the form of the people attempting to shape it."
