Soulfasting Concert for Charity

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Who: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, the Kagamine twins, and open invite for all
What: A Soulfast-themed charity concert and dance
When: Sunday night
Where: The Tycoon family estate
Summary: Lenna is hosting a charity event to benefit Union's poor and homeless population, along with refugees from war-torn communities outside Union's walls and people who are moving into the city but need some help while they get on their feet.  The entire city is invited, and donations are not required but are strongly encouraged in the form of Lenna smiling and making big moe eyes at everyone as they enter until they do.

[It's the beginning of the Soulfasting holiday, and despite the complications with Cresselia and Darkrai, Lenna has miraculously managed to pull together the final preparations for her charity event at the last minute.  The party itself is being held at the Tycoon mansion in the noble quarter, and the doors have been opened for any and all who wish to come and make merry.

The spacious foyer of the house has been set up with numerous tables with food and drink for the various attendees, plenty of room for dancing and mingling, and of course a large stage at the front of the room set up for Rin and Len Kagamine - Lenna's roommates and the headline performing act of the night.  There are donation boxes situated around the room, and Lenna will also be accepting larger donations personally so that she can secure them elsewhere in the house.

And because of the time of year, there is also a table set up with plenty of Pokemon-themed masks for people to wear, with a fancy sign hand written in calligraphy: 'Courtesy of the Tatsumi Gallery.'  Lenna herself is wearing a short red party dress with matching heels, greeting everyone as they enter and more or less just buzzing about making sure everyone is having a good time.]

[Cordelia wasn't one to drink, but when she was stuck in this pokegod-forsaken thing, it didn't matter how good her legs looked, she was partaking. One would think with her height that she could handle her liquor, but after two large flutes of champagne and very little to eat, she was feeling a bit woozy.

Taking off her Pumpkaboo mask, the redhead leaned against a wall, letting out a huff of a sigh. These social gatherings wore her out. She didn't seem to notice the fellow Ranger standing next to her.]

[ Katarina doesn't greet Cordelia immediately, instead following her movements with her eyes before returning her gaze to the dancefloor. She hasn't spoken more than a few words to Cordelia before, but a comrade is a comrade. She takes note of the other woman's deep exhale before speaking. ]

Not a fan of parties either, I take it.

[Cordelia looks over, a bit surprised.]

Katarina? [When did you get there?]

No, it's not that. Well, yes and no. It's complicated.

[mid]

Why complicated? [ She's unperturbed by Cordelia's surprise, and she makes no effort to turn her gaze back to her new companion. ]

I'd much rather be out on the field, myself. But my reasoning for disliking parties are probably much simpler than most.

[aerial_ace]

Family politics, mostly. [And with her cousins missing, she had a lot more responsibility with the Fabre family.]

[Cordelia nods in agreement.]

Likewise, but I suppose there are some good things. It's good to take a night off every once in a while.

[mid]

I can understand that. [ Katarina gives a soft snort. Oh, can she ever. ]

I suppose the break is... restful. [ She huffs before downing more wine. ] My sister is more suited for these sorts of events. I look ridiculous in this getup, and these drinks aren't working fast enough for me.

[aerial_ace]

[Katarina you are not allowed to talk about looking ridiculous, you at least fill out your dress. Cordelia straightens a bit.]

I hope that you're keeping hydrated at least.

[mid]

[ Psh. If Katarina were to notice things like that, she'd think you were stunning, Cordelia. ]

Doesn't it look like I am? [ She eyes Cordelia as she takes another deep swig, downing half the glass in one go. ]

[aerial_ace]

I would say probably not.

[Kat, don't make her mom at you B(]

[mid]

[ Pshhh Cordy she is a grown-ass woman and she can give herself a hangover from hell if she wants to ]

Thanks for the concern. [ She snorts again, though it lacks the bite that usually accompanies her words. She plucks a glass of water off of a nearby table anyway, taking slow, small sips. ]

You should at least try to have fun. It'd be much easier for you than for me. [ A smirk. People didn't tend to run away from Cordelia at social gatherings, that much was true. ]
