Magnetion Magnet stood dressed in his dark blue tuxedo. He had had the suit cleaned and pressed five times the previous morning. It's ever-present sparkle was ever-present as ever, but he was still on edge.
He had spent two weeks meticulously planning this event. A large sum of money had to be spent from his personal stocks as well as obtained from his...contacts. He had sent and received numerous messages regarding food, drinks, lighting, drinks, space, drinks, timeslots, drinks, furniture, drinks, security, drinks, staffing, and drinks. He was lucky to have gotten the enormous ballroom reserved, as usually it was held for more important events. The carpet properly laid, the bars and tables properly set up, the kitchen crew cooking constantly, and the musicians ready to begin the symphony. Not to mention the drinks, mostly wine, which were fully stocked, with surplus aboard the ATG|Khalis in orbit over Toledo.
We need this, Magnet thought to himself. We need to forget about guns, warships, and killing for a while.
Looking over his guestlist, he rechecked every name. Wouldn't want to let any...strangers...in here. Hmmm......Magnet.......Robert........Katie.........Freisner.......Joule........Shepard......Doctor..........Staite......and others.
He noticed the first guests start to filter in. Quickly, he moved toward the podium by the entrance.
"Greetings, and welcome to the first Motivational Ball Event. If you have come this far, you have been approved by my guards as being on the guest list. Please remember to have fun. Also, security is tighter than a sailor's knot here, so not too much fun! We have ball dancing on the left, bar straight down, seated candlelit dining on the right. Please, feel free to interact, dance, eat, and drink heartily. My assistant Agent Parakeet has managed to procure enough alcohol for us to have a full bar. So please, enjoy your time. We will be closing when we run out of stock," he finished with a smile.
After the initial applause and thanks were taken care of, Magnet took out an intercom to speak with the head of security: "Please forward me any requests to join the festivites from all non-Order members. I will overlook them personally. Also, please have the cab service ready to carry out those who cannot hold their drinks."
After hearing the acknowledgement, Magnet calmly walked over to the bar and sat down on a stool. Here we go...
In the corner, Agent Parakeet dressed up in his costume suit.
