the donors banquet → 29th september
mari decided to make something of an effort, given that it was the first event of the year and she might meet some important people. but not too much of an effort. her red velvet and lace slip dress is from humble origins, and the gold jewellery that was formerly her mother's is paired with black combat boots. in her bag, she carries her phone, perfume, lipstick (aileen's suggestion), cigarettes and a lighter. and her notebook and pen. just in case.
