Cast of Characters: Thomas Raith, Kaelyn Silverleaf, Green Arrow, Ant-Man (Pym), Black Canary, Ekaterina Vespucci




Thomas Raith has posed:
IT was a case of your people talk to my people, and they set up the event with little imput from the primaries. Still the Blue Lady had been booked for the entire night. The events were sponsoring a charity for the orphans and homeless children of the city. As such Thomas Raith, owner of the Blue Lady, was greeting each guest personally as they arrived. Ricardo Malivosa, normally known as Axe, was even in a suit for the occasion. On stage, at the moment a sultry black woman with a voice like smoke over still water crooned about love long lost.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
She doesn't get out of the shop very often, and when she does it's often work related. And to be honest, Kae's up in Manhattan again well because she had some antiquities to trade... Still she's found her self at a club about to have some kind of charity thing, and well, she's in the mood to party. So Kae's wandered inside the club, now looking around the place curiously while she hooks her thumbs into the belt around her wasteline...

Seeing various people and whatnot, she gets a pouch off her hip, opens it up and puts her backpack into the thing. How she manages is anyone's guess, maybe she's related to Mary Poppins... Still she closes the pouch up, and ties it back to her belt before starting to wander around the place, eventually heading toward the bar.

Green Arrow has posed:
    Fairly busy lately with business and handling crisis after crisis with the incredible crime rate, Oliver Queen has made a rare public appearance at the jazz club. This would mark his first time actually at the club... and the first non-private event his current girlfriend/paramour, Dinah Drake, has attended with him. Coming out of nowhere almost to keep in Queens good graces for months now, the florist seems to be a long term prospect for the CEO billionaire... and has agreed to be the singer for tonights events. Is she good? Everyones about to find out! Oliver vouches for her ability, at least.

As for Oliver himself? He's also greeting visitors and mingling with guests. On his right arm is a well dressed Dinah Drake as he goes. "So glad you could make it. Things in Starling and Manhatten really are concerning for me, which is why I'm taking the time for this. I could have easily have been an orphan myself when I got back." Oliver states solemnly to someone he's buttering up.

Ant-Man (Pym) has posed:
The Avengers get sent a sort of blank invite to these sorts of things, in the hopes that Thor or Captain America or some other notable hero will show up and turn heads. Hank Pym, on the other hand, doesn't quite draw a crowd, looking rather ordinary in his trim black suit with his blonde curls cut short on the sides, clean shaven and neat. He shakes hands as needed going in. He spots the trick with Kaelyn's pouch and raises an eyebrow. On the other hand, he has at least one fission engine and a small Avengers transport tucked into his pockets, so he can hardly grouse about anyone playing with the laws of physics. Some laws are meant to be broken, after all.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake is wearing a slinky blue dress that hugs her figure, and imbedded with sequins so it glitters in the light. She isn't wearing much jewelry - a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond-studded choker with the letter Q on the front. Obviously a gift from her boyfriend. She nods as the current singer finishes her set. She lays a kiss on Oliver's cheek and struts up onto the stage. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen," she announces to the mic. "I do hope that everyone is here for a good time. We're here for a good cause as well of course." She nods as she takes a breath, then starts belting out some smooth jazz songs.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
The Contessa Ekaterina Vespucci has come out on her own tonight dressed to the nines. She rarely misses a charity event when she has time. It's good to be seen at these things. Usually she is under dressed in a fashion that contradicts her wealth. Tonight she has me the minimum standards of dress for the evening. A nice black pencil dress that shows a nice bit of decolletage and her figure nicely proportioned and alluring for her small five foot one frame. She gets carded at the bar as she goes for a drink. There are whispers of the small cornflower blue eyed, angel faced girl being a crimelord. But her unimposing appearance contradicts this. She turns to face the stage her large eyes drinking in her surroundings. Starting a little as Dinah begins to sing. She sips her bourbon on the rocks.

Green Arrow has posed:
    Angling his cheek to take the kiss, Oliver gives a nod to Dinah as she walks away. Kaelyns trick with the pouch is noticed and earns a glance from Oliver... but he doesn't choose to pry. Instead, he starts to mingle some more, entering hushed conversations with yet more guests, until eventually he makes his way over to Hank Pym, "Mr. Pym, right? I didn't expect any of the Avengers members out here tonight! So glad you could make it." Oliver offers a hand, "Oliver Queen, if you hadn't guessed." Oliver lays on that (in?)famous Queen business charm as he strikes up the conversation.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae notices Hank noticing her pulling the trick with the backpack... She then grins cheerfully and does a whole finger over the mouth thing, before winking. She then glances around and looks to the one eyed gruff bartender curiously. "Sooo, umm, yah, top shelf Rita please... Don't want any Sauza in it though, just about anything else, no Sauza." She says cheerfully again, then glancs around again curiously and occupies a barstool as she proceeds to people watch.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake continues singing. Normally her band, Ashes on Sunday, does rock, she is doing a very good job with the jazz - her voice sometimes shifts up or down an octave to better fit the song, and after a good five minutes of continual singing, she finally draws it to a close, and bows. She smiles. "We are honored today with the presence of the Avengers," she states in the microphone. "I'm glad to get the opportunity to sing to such a famous audience. Thank you, Dr. Pym." She then stretches a bit, then starts up another song.

Ant-Man (Pym) has posed:
Hank Pym smiles, "I'm familiar with your face, Mr. Queen. I do have the internet, after all," he says. Of course, he also invented large swathes of the internet, not that he takes too much credit for it. Most of the time. "Good cause and all that, the Avengers always want to do their part, even if it's a small one. I can testify better than most, good things can come in small packages," he says.

"I've been off field duty for a while, focusing on lab work, but I'm trying to get...out into the world again," he says. His mental breakdown is a fairly well-kept secret, so he doesn't elaborate too much on the circumstances of his withdrawal from the publi ceye. "Sorry I'm not Thor," he grins to the Canary.

Green Arrow has posed:
    "I hope you enjoy the party, Mr. Pym. I'm glad to see you're doing well after so much time as a recluse." Oliver smiles to Hank, "if you'll excuse me, I see someone who I need to have words with." Oliver gives a polite nod to the Avengers, before he adjusts his business tuxedo and starts to walk over to Ekaterina. Once he's within earshot, "Ms. Vespucci! I was wondering if you'd take the time for a Manhatten based event. It's a pleasure to have you with us, and to see you care about those sometimes forgotten in the shuffle of life."

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae notices Pimm now that Oliver's wanderd off from them and offers a cheerful wave. Kae is by no means as prettily dressed as everyone else. She's dressed nicely but not exactly to the nines as it were. She takes a pull on her margarita and tilts her head "How're you doing?" She asks curiously.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Ekaterina has slipped into her own headspace listening to the music and sipping her drink. When Oliver turns her ear she is surprised. Kat is hardly the prettiest face in the room or the most well known. In fact she was barely known at all. If the footage of her effectively coming back to life after being killed in Central Park a few weeks back gets out that might change. But mercifully that hasn't come to pass. It takes Kat a while to shake herself out of her reverie before turning to face Oliver, "I... Mr. Quee - please call me Kat." She clears her throat and straightens her dress out. "I do try to make the rounds when I can. I've got my own concerns charitable and otherwise. That soup kitchen in Queens for example," Kat 'volunteers' at her own charities regularly. "I was surprised by the invite," Kat is rarely an A lister when it came to events - more of a B or C lister.

Ant-Man (Pym) has posed:
Hank Pym makes his own way to the bar, although he orders a club soda for himself, apparently eschewing alcohol for the night. Designated driver? Recovering alcoholic? Just a nerd? Hard to say.

"I'm out and about, so about as well as I usually do in such circumstances. I'm more comfortable in a lab coat than a tuxedo, but duty calls and such," he says. He offers his hand to Kaelyn, "Hank Pym."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake finally finishes her second set, and bows to everyone. She then steps down and goes to rejoin her boyfriend at the bar. "Well - how did I do? My first time singing jazz in front of an audience," she notes to Oliver. She gets a scotch on the rocks and takes a sip. "Ah... good stuff. Hello, Mr. Pym," she states, extending her hand. "I'm Dinah Drake."

Green Arrow has posed:
    As Dinah comes over to the bar, Oliver steps over and onto a bar stool. "Kat it is. I've been keeping an eye on the movers and shakers down here, and you caught my eye as being one who enjoys both sides of this. May I ask what you do for hobbies?" Oliver asks of Kat, "I have a few myself, along with a new one." Oliver glances over to Dinah as he states the last part, before he looks back to Kat.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat is sort of embarrassed, "Movers and shakers? Well there are a few opf them around here. I'm not surte I am the best example of that particular human archetype," if in fact she were in the first place human at all. "I think I have notrheing but hobbies really - just well developed ones. If you have seriously been following me you would know I am an artist - not an amatuer though. I own alot of commercial galleries. That eats up alot of my time. I was arranging a gfreat big charitry auction but that fell through."

Ant-Man (Pym) has posed:
Hank Pym smiles and nods to Dinah, "Nice to meet you. You've got some pipes on you, as they say," he says. "I can't say I'm an expert on jazz by any means, but it was plenty pleasing to my ears," he says. He takes a long sip of his drink, not particularly good at small talk. He slips a hand into his pocket and idly draws out a small device, flicking his finger over the surface of a touchscreen and letting it devour his attention for a moment.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae nods to Hank and shakes the offered hand "Kaelyn." She says simply, grinning a bit as she looks around "Some party eh?" She asks curiously, taking another sip on her drink.. WHy she's here she has no clue, maybe just being a fairly prominent business woman is enough... She will definately donate to charity though... Even if it isn't a ton. She's definately not a mover and shaker as far as monetary resources go.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Drake slips away from Oliver and Hank, with a bit of an odd look at his phone or whatever, simply meeting and hobnobbing with some people. She even blinks as a few people have a CD of her band that she autographs with a wink. It was announced that she'd be singing after all. She then slides back towadrs the bar. "Yeah - if there's anything Ollie's good at, it's throwing a party."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Ekaterina clears her throat and looks at her phone realising that she had somewhere selse to be this evening. "Erm excuse me I'm needed elsewhere. Nice meeting you Mr Queen." She has a little bit of difficulty pushing her way out of the club given her small frame and tendency to get trampled. She finally finds the exit and steps out into the cool night relieved. Hoping this did not make her some kind of misanthrope.
