Eve Kurosawa seemed to never stop working. When she wasn't doing her duty as Jade Dragon, she was attending socials for the family business. The latter was happening tonight. February was American Heart Month and Kurosawa Inudtries was holding a fundraiser for the American Heart Asociation with all the procedes going to the Association. Mostly it was for rich people to mingle and show who had the biggest pocketbook. There was fine food, entertainment was provided by a political comedian, and of course check presentations.

Eve had a few invitations for guests of her own, the few friends she had were either already invited or, well, people that wouldn't get accepted on the guest list. High society was bitchy like that sometimes. One friend she wanted to keep in touch was is Keith LaMarr, better known as Wail.Even though he was old enough to work in her grandfather's time, she saw him as personable old guy. She would ask him for advice, like a mentor. Though they never really called each other mentor or student. She approached him a week earlier and asked him if he wanted to go. If so they would have to get him a suit.

One advantage of having a public identity as a superhero was that it was very difficult for anyone to rightly justify keeping you out of an event. On one want LaMarr's efforts to protect the city were a matter of public record, especially now that some of them were in more recent memory after coming out of retirement, while on the other he had no anonymity to put off a concerned security staff. It also meant he could forgo the rigmarole of explaining why a public high school teacher might be the guest of a wealthy heiress at a high profile event.

Thought not normally one to accept that sort of charity, he'd had to swallow his pride when it came to acquiring a new suit; his frame made buying off the rack a near impossibility and it wouldn't have done to embarrass Eve by appearing at the fundraiser shabbily dressed. So it was that the broad-shouldered veteran hero arrived at the even in a well tailored ensemble, noticeably on foot as opposed to the many expensive vehicles pulling up. "Keith LaMarr," he supplied to the doorman in his deep, resonant bass rumble. "I should be on the list."
