Angel - Charity Event
@LugubriousOver the last few weeks the illusion that Sarah could ever go back to her old life pretty much died. During the absence of the Wards, the woman essentially picked up some of the slack in Denver. Thankfully things hadn't been that crazy, but with several of the other heroes taking a break it left more of the odds and ends for her to deal with. Perhaps the worst part was Sarah didn't know who or what Angel was. With the decision of being a hero having been made for her, Sarah opted to just give in.
Having been dragged into a more active role the rookie began to make connections to the local heroes and law enforcement. And while the charity event wasn't exactly a secret, it wasn't something that ever crossed her mind to attend until she was invited during one encounter. While on one hand Sarah still did not enjoy the limelight that came with the territory, Angel seemed to gravitated toward it. It being for a good cause only incentivised going.
Being completely new to this kind of exposure meant having essentially nothing coming in. Thankfully the basics were provided for a meet and greet. Having been given a booth, pens and markers for signing, and some fliers for the PRT she could at least do something. Though she wasn't part of the organization they did fight for the same side.
Were anyone to know the woman behind the beauty, they might have had second thoughts about having her attend. Despite Sarah's less that stellar people skills her alter ego had a way of dredging up old mannerisms and etiquette that she'd not bothered with since childhood. Though that was a fringe effect to her arguably perfect angelic form and Master ability which made her mere presence practically garnered attention. It wasn't attention she necessarily wanted mind you. Being recognized was great but it wasn't why she was a hero. Though explaining why she was a hero beyond "it's the right thing to do" was difficult to articulate even to herself.
Getting the chance to talk to the public more freely was nice though. Getting a more direct opinion from the source was good, though some of the more glowing encounters could have easily been influenced by eye contact. Numerous questions of whether she was actually an angel had to be diverted. Honestly she didn't believe she was, but she couldn't say for certain what the qualifications were. But Sarah was pretty sure she was far from the mark as a person.
After the initial hour and a half things began to settle down. With people getting ready and moved to the next assortment of attractions to the charity. Freed up, Angel set her sights on meeting some of the other heroes she hadn't had the pleasure. Though that was a long list at this point. A quick scan of the room had her looking over in the direction of the Wards. The core group wasn't her focus though. She'd taken notice of a teen off to the side, Margrave as the titled booth informed her. Honestly she wasn't sure if there were any particular rules surrounding who she could or couldn't interact with. However the young man appeared... Frustrated... Or tired perhaps. Admittedly the woman's knowledge of the Wards wasn't very good but as she recalled he was new and turned things into toys. A rather odd ability but parahuman powers did not always make sense.
Regardless of what she knew on not, Angel took the opportunity to try and lighten the mood. This is not a good idea. Brushing away the concern Angel as gracefully as she could excused herself from her present company and proceeded to Margrave's booth. Tapping on the table lightly to alert him to her presence she spoke up. "Long day?" The question was short, but it was more inquisitive to gauge the situation. She took a moment to survey the contents of the table before turning her gaze back to the one she just addressed.
