Party time and more [Action]

[idkmybffalfred]

[In a ballroom at Central City.]

The auction was done and a hefty pile of wealth had been gathered to help pay for the reconstruction of Amestris in the wake of the devastating undead invasion. All that was left at this point was the after party, and EVERYONE has been invited. The majority of the party has moved to a huge ballroom, complete with an in house orchestra, several tables of light snacks and drinks, a large dancing area, tables around the edges of the room, and servants with trays of drinks making sure no one goes long without a glass. Brag about your newest acquisition, seeth with jealousy at the guy who bid more on the piece you wanted, enjoy fine food and drinks from across the empire, get drunk, dance, have fun. Mr. Wayne is footing the bill tonight.

[Elsewhere, later that evening...]


A dark figure edges close to the tall wall surrounding the manor belonging to the mysterious man known only as The Major. It produces a grappling hook from under its cloak, and is perched atop the wall in short order to get a better look at what it has to contend with here.

Yours.

Bruce Wayne, in his impeccable black tux, made a bee-line through the crowd towards Excellen and Kyosuke.

Okay lets be honest, towards Excellen.

"Well, I think I can count this party a success already if it let me meet a lovely lady like you."

Oh good. I just put on the black satin sheets~

[excellenbrowning]

Saying that she had not had an eye on Mister Wayne would have been a complete lie. All eyes had been on him the entire party, but hers were there for a wholly different reason. So to have him come to personally greet her came as a bit of a surprise, and she gave him a somewhat coy smile. "Unfortunately I'm here because Lady Arturia is sick, but I have to admit." And she locked eyes with him, a bit of a twinkle there. "Being able to meet you as well, Mister Wayne, well. I suppose if something good had to come from it, it might be that."

I am a firm believer that EVERYONE looks good in black

"It could get better though. Perhaps if the lady would share her name?"

[excellenbrowning]

"Excellen Browning, acting commander of the ATX team."

[idkmybffalfred]

"I never would have guessed that dress would be a military uniform."

[excellenbrowning]

She laughs a bit at his comment. "Standard issue, it turns out. I certainly can't complain."

[idkmybffalfred]

"So you've probably got a sword hidden in there somewhere, then."

[excellenbrowning]

She gives him a somewhat knowing grin. "Would you like to see what I keep under my skirt, Mister Wayne?"

[idkmybffalfred]

Oof, why'd he have to meet her tonight of all nights? "Believe me, any other night I'd love to intimately and thoroughly discuss swords all night long, but I have business that just can't wait after the party winds down."

[excellenbrowning]

Of course. Tall, dark, handsome and smoking rich. He would have other plans. It wasn't that she hadn't expected that, and while she had not had totally impure intentions, she was a bit let down. "Mm, that's too bad." She put a well-manicured pinky to her lips, pouting just ever so slightly. "But that's okay. We can stay up all night some other time I guess. I'll just have to find someone else to discuss military practices with tonight, huh?"

[idkmybffalfred]

"Yes, some other time..."

Damn damn damn.

"If you're ever in Camelot, be sure to look me up. I'll give you the tour."
