PLAYER: Saffy CHARACTERS INVOLVED: Garnet (uncagedbird) and probably the shelter staff? I haven't actually asked them if they want to do this yet, so I'm fine with changing who benefits from this. PLOT: Black Tie & Tails - a fundraiser for the local pet shelter/humane society! I'm also willing to change it to like, Planned Parenthood or something if the shelter people don't... want money. This is literally just an excuse to have a formal event.
Ari, now that she's settled, thinks a lot of people might use a distraction from the goings on with Retrospec. A big fancy party is great for that.
She'll be using her connections to rent a large event space and turn it into a real ball, complete with music of all kinds (classical and then if there are players who have bands, they can play too). Tentatively, the theme will be animals though it's not necessary for people to wear cat ears/masks/whatever. They can if they'd like! The only stipulation is that they have to be dressed at least a little nice. A minimum donation of at least 5 dollars or some pet food is what's needed to get in the door.
In addition to dancing, music, and ridiculously fancy animal-themed food, there will also be a meet and greet for people to learn about the animals who need adoption and fill out applications for them. The animals will need handlers, so that provides another opportunity for people to interact... Nothing helps pick up dates better than puppies, right?
Also a cute idea I had: people who wear animal things, one way or another, could take on certain 'characteristics' of the animal they chose, or parts of their costume might turn real for a night. So a girl with a cat ear headband might end up feeling easily-distracted and playful, or maybe the ears move? And dog people might end up playing fetch. LMAO. Just an idea! The effects would only be temporary and would last only until they left the party.
OOCly, I definitely plan on putting a call on the ooc comm for shelter people because I know there's quite a few and I don't want to step on their toes. The time of the plot doesn't particularly matter. While this sort of thing is suited for Halloween, I don't wanna wait that long. So spring fling it is!
A few characters might want to attend but not be able to because of money or lack of costumes. For that reason, I'll have Ari herself offer to outfit anyone who needs it.
NOTES: Again, I'm willing to change every aspect of this if you'd like-- I just want an excuse to see people looking ridiculously gorgeous in formal wear, and this is open to all ages.
I'd also like to note that it's a great opportunity for memory regains, though I think item/power/ability ones would be fine for characters who attended too.
