The White Swanfish Gala (Open to All, including party-crashers)

The White Swanfish Gala is this evening - A VIP-only event where invitations are only sent to the likes of the heads of industry, Mover stars, avatars, and their guests. The host is Wil Zan (Slade's affable civilian alter ego), and he is dressed in a fine white and blue silk nehru, smiling broadly and chatting with what seems like every patron there, one at a time. He has brought in the finest chefs to provide an unlimited stream of fine food and drink, popular musicians provide entertainment and lively music to dance to, and this gala is sure to be an event worth talking about for years.

Interestingly, Zan has set up some rather unusual security measures. Though your average riff-raff will be kept out, he has intentionally left strategic security gaps that can be bypassed by the bold and the cunning. Zan actually has men covertly watching these gaps, but instead of stopping these party-crashers, their instructions are to inform Zan. (This serves as a sort of test for potential apprentices that Slade may try to recruit in the future.)

((NOTE: This is an event log, so not every reply has to be toward Slade. Feel free to write what your character is doing at the party or how they snuck in, etc. "Zan" is likely to give you his attention, but others can too.))

Oh wow. Zaofu's pretty far from here, too.

[The waiter came back with water and Wan thanked the man politely and with a quiet smile.]

You're in the train business? I think trains are pretty amazing.

I'm in the everything business, buddy. Mostly in international shipping, but we've been branching out.

[And trains are cool, Varrick's always wanted to build trains.]

The world is a very different place than it was twenty years ago, gotta keep up with in innovation.

It is a very different world.

[Wan agreed whole-heartedly.]

You must be pretty busy. If you're in the everything business.

[Hey, look, he was starting to relax a bit and feel more comfortable talking now that they weren't discussing dates and women.]
profiteers: (named her the zhu li)

[He'll just have to spring the dates topic back on him unexpectedly at some point.]

Busy's where I live, pal. You don't build an empire up from one canoe into a world wide conglomerate by taking it easy.

Especially since my assistant disappeared.
raavashing: (huh: turned around)

Your assistant? Maybe they're still back in Zaofu?
