Maria Stark Foundation Winter Charity Ball

You are cordially invited to attend the 28th annual Maria Stark Foundation's Winter Charity event.

Four Seasons Hotel
57 East 57th Street
New York, NY 10022

Friday 21st of September
Seven O'clock pm - Midnight

Formal dress required.

Please bring a donation for Toys for Tots.

The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and even superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

	"Interesting is a good word for it," Syd said. "I did some freelance translating work for Mr. Stark. Not sure why he picked me, but I took the job because it was a lot more than I was making and raising a kid isn't exactly cheap." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I imagine. Forgive me if this is too personal, but where is Zoey's father?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's around," Syd said. "We've been seeing each other, but it's usually away from the insanity that is the compound. He's working on a political career." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael grimaces. "I do not envy him. Politics is a wicked game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2012-12-23 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes it is," Syd agreed. "I don't like politics, but I support him in his decision. I've noticed that you and Asleif have been spending some time together. What's going on there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Everyone has a different calling." His face freezes at the latter statement. "My ability to be subtle has obviously waned since I've been on Midgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Worry not. It is my job to keep an eye on all of you after all. I'm paid to notice what's going on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough," Kael concedes. "Yes, we have. As for what we've been up to..I'm not certain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good for the both of you," Syd said as they moved around the dance floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you..though I admit I wish I knew what we were." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes that's hard to define," Sydney said. "Focus on enjoying each others company instead of worrying about how to define it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-24 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Kael thinks on that a moment. "There is wisdom in what you say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is why I'm the team adviser," Syd said with a smile. "If you need some help finding things to do with her, just ask. I'd be more than willing to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-24 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm, an interesting proposal, Sydney. I would welcome your advice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"First, after this dance you're going to go over to Asleif, interrupt politely and ask her to dance. Before you protest, it is totally within the realm of Migard etiquette to interrupt and ask a lady to dance. Then tomorrow you and I are going to talk about ideas of things to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-24 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Well, frankly Kael was a bit flabbergasted. "I am?" He looks briefly to where Asleif and Vincent were dancing, gulping once. "I suppose I am." He nods. "Ideas, yes, ideas are good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2012-12-24 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"Yes you are," she said with a grin. "Yes they are and we'll make sure you have a lot to choose from." The song ended and Sydney kissed his cheek. "Now go ask that goddess to dance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-24 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Kael takes a breath before heading in that direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)
