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.

	"Flatterer," Vlad teased then gave her a quick kiss. If asked, there was probably some mistletoe above the dance floor. Somewhere. "You're at the top of the list, I've reserved you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled after the kiss. "I want every spot on the list." Okay so she was a little selfish when it came to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad responds with mock surprise. "Every spot? Hmm, that's a tall order. You're going to have to pull some strings." He's clearly joking, he rather liked her being selfish about him. "Do I get every spot on your list then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're the only name on my list," she said with a smile and then a kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like monopolies like that," he smiled and returned the kiss. "Don't tell," he whispered then winked. "But my list only has one spot anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad grinned and fished through an inside jacket pocket to pull out a sprig of mistletoe. There'd been extra around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait laughed and then gave him a deep kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mistletoe may be his new favourite holiday thing now. Vlad kisses her back just as deeply and smiles. "See? Prepared." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I'd be kicked off the scouts. But hmm...maybe my slight boyscoutishness is another thing I should keep your lips sealed about..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-24 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Cait grinned. "I'm sure we can find many other things I need to keep my lips sealed about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like the sound of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You and me both," he smiled and tucked the mistletoe into his jacket pocket to act as a festive pocket square. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan," Vlad smiled as they stepped off the dance floor and he offered his arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I survived a driving lesson with Rufus. It didn't go badly." Cait smiled at people as they passed. She recognized a few celebrities and other famous people. The Starks sure drew crowds of who's who. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-12-24 03:11 am UTC (link)
	"You went driving with Rufus?! And you didn't do your last goodbyes? You sure live on the edge Ms. Drake." Joking aside, driving with Rufus was a dangerous gamble, though she had a better chance than most at coming out without much damage. "Hope nothing too bad happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did and survived to tell the tale," she said. "It went really well. He listened to what I told him and he drove like a sane person. It was surreal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-12-24 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"I think I'll need to get you a medal for the accomplishment," he responds. "Are we sure this is the real Rufus though? Not switched out? But glad to hear he did, you keep him in line well. Any plans to go again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-12-24 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	"As far as I know he's not a pod person." Cait nodded. "Yes. I think he has be taking him just about everyday. Apparently I'm the only one brave enough. Even Uncle Logan said no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-12-24 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Never hurts to check," Vlad chuckles. "You're also the only one he seems to listen to at all around here. I mean when Uncle Logan opts out..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
