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.

"... I see," Weller replied, legitimately feeling bad. "Unfortunately, I'm not having any trouble with my van. If I could help you in any way I would, but..."

Weller actually seemed disappointed he couldn't offer anything to the young man. After thinking for a moment, realization hit him. "Ah, though... come to think of it, I am overdue for an oil change..."

Arthur managed to brighten a little at that, reaching hastily into his coat. Weller already knew where the garage was, but that didn't mean he couldn't delve into one of the most important aspects of a potential client. He pulled out a few business cards with his name and address on them, his phone number set in the corner with a red circle on it. It was just how the card was printed, as if Arthur thought it would make people look at it more urgently.

"Sure, I'll do that! Not that it's anything tough to do, so it isn't like you could advertise just based off of that, but if I do any major work for you, you could hand this to somebody!"

Weller smiled; an actually earnest-looking and sincere smile. He took the card and nodded, slipping it iinto his breast pocket.

"I'll be sure to do so," he replied. "And I'll bring the van by sometime soon, as well."

His smile was bright in comparison to before. Arthur's smile was nervous in most instances--but, he was proud to have advertised himself over something that most people would find trivial. It was impressive, at least in his own eyes, that he could be assertive.

"I look forward to helping you out with whatever you need! I don't like to think I should benefit from accidents, but cars are important things--especially these days!"
