Wayne Ball [Site-Wide, Open]

[Jervis Tetch]

He patted her on the head, "Run along now, we have preparations to make."

[Alice Challen]

Alice smiled at the Mad Hatter and curtseyed before cartwheeling away. She was more energized than before. She had plans to make, business to attend to!

[Jervis Tetch]

He smiled as he watched her go. Yes, things were going well...

It was probably time for him to leave, fearing that Wayne might get to him again. He hurried off of the grounds, leaving the party.

[Jennifer Ehle Lynn]

Jen sighed. How typical of Jewels, her identical twin to be late. Jen did NOT want to be here. This was not her scene. She'd rather have been cooped up at home with her good notebook and pen, perfecting her formulas. But no...Her overly vivacious social butterfly of a twin had threatened to disown Jen if she hadn't come. And she had made Jen promise to dress for the occasion. She smiled wryly. Technically she had dressed for the occasion. She was wearing a nice red gown. She had just chosen to wear her lab coat over top of it. She had never promised to take it off. She needed some small token of comfort to sustain her through this tiresome ordeal.

Her eyes scanned the ball yet again for her twin but she was no where to be seen. Jen had wasted enough time dressing up and driving here. She wouldn't lose another moment to social obligations. She extracted her notebook and pen from her briefcase and began scribbling furiously. "Delta T.." "Carry the two.." "Divide by 87" She murmured to herself.

[Kate Kane]

Kate walked into the ball in a long black gown with a cleavage exposing neckline. She absolutely hated these things, but she had to play the part of the spoiled little rich girl. She sighed, walking through the swarm of socialites and rich people. She walked through them, spying Bruce through the throng of people.

"Bruce!" she said, walking over to him.

[John Constantine]

Even in a shiny new suit, John Constantine still looked rather hangdog. It had been too long since he'd been to a fancy function like this. It had been before he found out about the cancer. His old suit was too small for him, so he'd been forced to splurge what money he had on a new one. At least he looked smart, which mattered in places like this. With such a large number of guests, he'd wondered how he'd managed to find his way into this function. He was on his seventh glass of champagne, and it wasn't having much of an effect on him anymore.

[Bruce Wayne]

"Kate?" Bruce asked, heading in her direction, "It's been a while."

[Kate Kane]

"Looking handsome as ever Bruce" she said, offering her hand. It had been a while since she had seen him. Whenever she got dragged off to these society events, she would try and seek him out.

[Bruce Wayne]

"As lovely as ever," he told her.

[Kate Kane]

"So how many broken hearts have you left behind recently?" Kate asked in an attempt to flatter her friend. "Is it north of ten? I bet it has to be at least ten" she prodded.

[Bruce Wayne]

"I don't keep count of that," he told her, "Although I'm trying to make the number zero."

[Kate Kane]

"Oh really?" Kate asked. How sweet! "Did you get tied down when I wasn't looking?" Kate grabbed for his hand, pretending to look for a ring.

[Bruce Wayne]

"I'd like to say I rediscovered someone from my past, who I'd like to be with," he told her, drawing his hand away.

[Kate Kane]

Kate had to keep herself from audibly declaring "Aaaaaaw". Instead she said, "Your a lucky man Bruce. I know a girl or two I wish I could find again."

[Bruce Wayne]

"And what's stopping you from doing that?"
