Art Showing

[Seryna]

Certain people who are moving in the academic and art circles become aware of certain influential people buzzing about a rare auction. The auction is invite only and quite exclusive. There is concern that only ten people may be invited.
The auction appears to be organized by Matthew Forten. He is hosting a small art viewing at a private art gallery tonight. One can likely fast talk their way inside... Should you attend this art showing and try to get an invite to the auction? No doubt, others will have the same idea!
At the appointed hour, two large people dressed in caterers clothing push two carts through the back door. There are two young women in attractive business suits wearing ear piece devices stand at the front door. One holds an expensive looking electronic handheld.

Anyone who has the skills Academics 2 or the merits News Media 2, contacts or allies in Art at 2 or above can hear about this and attend this gathering. Helen Kingsley is made aware of the gathering through a contact.

The expensive cars pull up to the private art gallery and people in fancy dress disembark. A savvy photographer in the know snaps a few pictures of local movers and shakers in the art world. The hours stretch into the night. No Kindred show any interest in the gallery showing or in meeting Matthew Forten.

The following day, two pictures are splashed across the society page - a blonde woman in an expensive blue dress entited "Doctor Creighton steps out for a good cause at the Tempest Gallery'. The second picture is of a man in a tailored ivory and cobalt blue suit, his dark brown groatee and short hair expertly groomed. The picture is entitled 'Forten has outdone himself tonight. A portion of the proceeds are benefitting a charity close to Forten's heart'.
