Heather still couldn't believe the article in the Tribune's Arts and Entertainment section. "Local artist Heather Collins... first gallery... works entirely in crystal... metahuman art scene... gallery opens tonight... guest list is expected to include Cynthia Lord, daughter of... famous escape artist and charity advocate Avia Free... local celebrity actor..."

She took a couple of deep breaths, despite the fact that the action did precious little other than to circulate some air through her crystaline body. She was definitely going to have to call her parents after this. Opal wasn't exactly in the same broadcast range as Chicago, but... well, it was a city with a pretty strong interest in the arts. Something like this might make it into the news cycle.

She couldn't blame Cindy for setting this up. The thought of people coming to see something she'd created had already done wonders for her self confidence. And Cindy, being the person that she was with the connections that she had, had been more than good at getting some publicity, and had been good for inviting those nice Justice League people, even if they were coming in their secret identities.

Another deep breath, and Heather left the back room, heading back out into the gallery itself. There were seven large statues in the show, representing the Entities. There were smaller statues too, of varying sizes, mostly of fantasy figures, though one marked "Raging Goddess" was a special commission that was already carrying a "sold" tag. Not her first paid project, but certainly the one she'd been paid the most for. Quite the satisfied customer there.

"Alright," she said, checking her watch. "Twenty minutes to open."

	Finally! Michael managed to get some free time to take Ash out again and lucky for him Cindy had something going on. He saw Cindy a bit after the whole "Is now kinda tied to the Orange" situation, but she has found herself a great team. So he's hoping to see her and have a good time with his kinda-sorta-maybe-girlfriend. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She is already excited by this. To her everything looks really pretty and it's far different from anything she has ever seen. Of course even glass art to her is very different. She's also happy that she and Michael are finally getting to do something else again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty nice, huh?" Michaels hand finds itself again on her hip, with a slight peck on the cheek for the kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2012-01-30 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Ash agrees. "It's really different than the stuff I've been exposed to before. Also they're very pretty I think." She likes them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2012-01-30 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's the whole point of art, regardless of the form. Trying to make things look a way, be it pretty, awe-inspiring, or thought provoking." There will be a little pulling closer as Michael takes a look at the piece in question. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2012-01-30 01:02 am UTC (link)
	She has gotten used to the idea that his hand will always end up on her hip. She isn't quite used to how they always end up really close like this but it's still nice. "This looks familiar," she comments still trying to place where she may have seen something like it. She hasn't looked at the card that has the name of the piece just yet.

	Michael tries to think on what he had seen that it looked like. He couldn't put his finger on it himself, so he just shrugged. "I dunno, but the composition is really nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2012-01-30 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe because it's more geometric because of it being made from crystal," Ash offers up. "I know that coral stuff tends to be more jagged looking compared to things you find up here. I really like how different it looks compared to what I'm used to. It's almost smoother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would love to get a look at this with the Quark Vision, just to see what it is," Michael says, although he is leaned up close so that no one else could hear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2012-01-30 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Well it's crystal, well formed, and it looks nice. Which is important," she decides. She smirks up at him. "Quark vision?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a flash of light behind her and Harry appears, in a suit and with no indication he's on a superhero team, behind her. "Psst Heather? Last call, did you need anything?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Pre-show loveontherocks 2012-01-30 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"Oh!" Heather said. "You surprised me there, Harry. No, I'm... I'm good. I think." "...Can you hyperventilate if you don't breathe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Pre-show in_reserve 2012-01-30 12:04 am UTC (link)
	"Well if you need anything just ask. I'll be the gopher." "Umm...I guess you'll find out? Although don't let Cindy see you doing that. I don't think she'd approve of being that nervous." He gives her a comforting pat on the shoulder, "Don't worry it'll be great! Everything looks good and you've got people coming. Not to mention the best security ever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Pre-show loveontherocks 2012-01-30 11:00 am UTC (link)
	Heather giggled a little. "Yeah, I think she'd rather disapprove of that." The other thing though, took her a little by surprise. "You don't think anything's going to happen, do you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well...no, I mean I hope not. I really don't think you need to worry about that." But given our luck...

Ending up as the hosts for the entities out of...well, a lot of people? He didn't trust the odds were ever much in their favour. "Besides, you have other things to worry about. Like greeting all your fans and potential customers!" He gives her an enthusiastic thumbs up, "You ready?"

	Harry gives her a light pat on the back, "Good luck then! And if you need anything we'll all be around don't worry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Pre-show loveontherocks 2012-01-31 01:11 am UTC (link)
	She smiled, just a little bit. "I appreciate it, Harry. Okay. Let's go do this thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)

Avia was always glad for a chance to spend time with Will, and the opportunity to see Cindy again was always a welcome one as well. She'd dug in her closet for appropriate formal wear, though she'd also braided a couple of flowers into her hair, because well, that was part of her whole look, after all.

"Mmm. Cindy-Loo does know talent when she sees it. These things are good."

	"Cindy!" Avia beamed. "Swinging show, my gal pal." She took a moment to embrace her friend. "How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hugs! "Wonderful. We've got a pretty good operation going here. Everyone's getting used to their situation, and we've got amazing security. How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2012-01-31 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Will smiles from where he is. Cindy was more Avias than his own, so he will stay back and let the ladies talk while he examines the crystal man in prayer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy gives Will a polite little wave as she listens to Avia. "You juggle it all well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ms_miracle 2012-01-31 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"Oh no, no juggling. Escape artist." She looked back over her shoulder. "Except for the one thing I couldn't and wouldn't want to escape." Her attention returned to Cindy. "And you? I see to remember hearing you're fallen for a certain woman in red...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lenny had been running a little late..mostly because he had nobody to drive him. And then he had to be shown where the handicap-entrance was. He could almost hear the bird-lady saying "all will be well", but he didn't feel like listening to her. He was still a little perturbed that he could only go blue at certain moments. Being able to walk only a short time..was a bitter pill to swallow at times.
