BUT TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT WE CAN REALLY LET GO ( OPEN )

[medusalith]

Date & Time: SATURDAY AT FIVE ( IT'S BACKDATED )
Location: DITR's offices in the hold, possibly spilling out into the hall if it gets super crowded.
Characters: Medusa, Saul, the staff of DITR, and YOU
Summary: In an effort to promote COMMUNITY OUTREACH the DITR hosts an open house! Free food and drink - you can't say no to that.
Warnings: Nothing? If anything comes up, please mark it in thread headers.

( IT'S A PARTY. THERE IS MUSIC OF QUESTIONABLE TASTE - PROBABLY ONE OR TWO ONE HIT WONDERS FROM THE 1980S ON REPEAT BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY COULD FIND UNTIL ANNE SINGS. THERE IS ALSO FOOD, BUT IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THE MUSIC. THINK OPEN HOUSE FOOD - CHEESE AND CRACKERS AND MEATS AND LOTS OF DAINTY DESSERTS.

AND WINE. THERE IS LOTS OF WINE.

TAG YOURSELF IN OR HIT ANYONE ELSE UP - IT'S A FREE FOR ALL. )

[It's also a problem when "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is played at what's supposed to be a semi-serious government-like function.

Whatever.]

I'm glad you decided to join us, that's all.

[heroxide]

Got nothing better to do, have I.

[So polite! He looks around briefly.] How many people do you think showed up to this thing overall, anyway?

[5055034455]

You might. I wouldn't know.

[Saul follows Spike's line of sight, then grins and shrugs like he's trying to look modest.] More than I expected.

[heroxide]

Wonder if they're here for the actual event, or just the free food. Careful you don't run out-- might find the crowd thinning out a bit.

[5055034455]

Probably the food.

[He might look it, but Saul's not dumb. He knew what would get people here and he's okay with it.]

But, hey — exposure's exposure, right?

[heroxide]

[He shrugs.] No such thing as bad publicity, huh? Fair enough.

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish, again? In specific.

[5055034455]

[Saul taps his own temple, as if to say exactly what I was thinking. Well done, Spike.

Then he straightens himself out a bit, assuming the Lawyer Position: back straight, head a little tilted, expression half-serious.]

Transparency. The Initiative wants us Transports to trust them, right? That's where the Department comes in. It's a "help us to help you" situation, really. No more surprise missions.
