MarkK Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Okay.. I'd noted that I would try to start another thread to go in the place of the one that had to get, well, retconned for various reasons. After checking for approval, the notion is this: The Emissary has been doing some talking (briefly in the Christmas party for one thing) about setting up some scholarship programs/trusts for the kids of Freedom City, particularly in South Freedom. He's spent some time since talking up potential donors, doing some socializing, making pitches to various people, and the like. The end result? Promoted through flyers and some television and radio spots, the Ocean Heights Amusement Park will be hosting, for one day only, a sort of super hero exhibition. Flashy displays and feats of power and skill, good natured spars, the Freedom League having brought out some of their own training room tech to help enhance either. Much of the proceeds of the day's ticket sales will be going to charity, and the various donors the Emissary has hooked in will be presenting their big checks that day as well. Among the things he needs to make the day happen are, well, superheroes. And so he's put the word out for those of a like mind to come and speak with him about taking part in the day's events. Anyway, that's the idea. If you're interested in taking part, respond to the thread with that interest and all. Note: The players of Velocity, Dr Archeville, Captain Wonder, and Mongrel Angel have first dibs, as it were, for taking part in the thread that had to come to an end as it did.
Thevshi Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Velocity would be in for sure. She can also help get some big donations in as well PS: I'd also point out that Velocity's mother is pretty majorly involved in charity and philanthropy work in the city :)
Dr Archeville Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 A chance to run a Mr. Wizard's World-like booth for the kids, showing the wonders of super-science? Count Doc in! Plus, once he gets his finances & patents straightened out (i.e., he earns enough pp to pay for Benefit [Wealth]), he'll be a generous donator to various science scholarships.
Nyrath Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Mongrel Angel's up for it in any case, though it's not certain whether or not she'll be able to secure any donations. Exile might decide to check it out, though obviously not as a part of the proceedings.
MarkK Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 Alright, cool. Room for one more person or so, if anyone is interested.
Heritage Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Alright, cool. Room for one more person or so, if anyone is interested. Pick me, pick me! (ala Donkey from Shrek) Gossamer would be more than happy to do this; even though she is no longer wealthy, she is an experienced fundraiser and really needs to get more comfortable in her superhero role.
Cotoloti Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 If it's for the kids.... sure! I'd love to. Velocity can run a shell game with Rusty as the pea. Which cup is he under? With her shifting cups at 100 mph and Rusty randomly dodging underneath.... $5 a bet and good luck!
Thevshi Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 One thing I'm thinking that could be humorous for Velocity is if her mom has some roll in helping Emissary with the event, so she is having to switch back and forth between being Velocity and Megan Howell :)
MarkK Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Hah, I'll try to work that in. And since Rusty the Mighty Mite provides another pl 6 hero to be able to set stuff up for Mongrel Angel with if need be, I'll take in him and Gossamer both. That's the cut off point though. Okay.. watch this thread, I'll have links up to the ooc and ic threads in the next couple of days.
MarkK Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 Okay, I'm quasi-managing a couple of other threads right now, so I'm going to start this one up come June 1st, so as to also have it double nicely as a thread specifically for that month people can get some participation done in.
MarkK Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Okay, thread started, put it in Port Regal as that's where everyone will eventually be relocating to after a quick event discussion: IC thread: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1018 OOC thread: http://endlessflight.net/freedom/viewto ... =34&t=1019
