Hurry, She Needs You

Summary: Natasha becomes ill from what they think is food poisoning. Tony and Bruce try to care for her until Clint arrives home from a deep cover mission. Part 1 of 6

Whumptober Day 1: Swooning | “How many fingers am I holding up?”

Natasha whump, light whump, eventual happy ending

“OK, I made my speech. I'm ready to leave." Tony Stark loosened his silk, Ferragamo tie and unbuttoned the top of his white dress shirt.

"Photo op with the Board of Directors and then we can go." His sultry companion tossed her long red hair over her shoulder, surveying the room.

New York’s finest came out for the city’s annual Public Works Charity Auction. Natasha had agreed to accompany Tony while Pepper was at the Clean Energy Conference in Chicago.

"Really?" He asked, eyes lighting up. "Pepper always makes me stay and schmoose."

"Do you want me to act like your wife tonight?" Natasha arched an eyebrow and toyed with her empty rocks glass.

"That's a loaded question, Agent Romanov." He smirked and signaled for another drink.

“If anything,” Tony lowered his voice, “I need you to use your skills on Aldrich Killian. There are whispers he’s experimenting with biologicals and I want to know what he’s up to.”

“Maybe the next party. I’m tasked to only one crazy billionaire tonight.”

"Aren't I the lucky one?” Stark raked his eyes over her elegant figure.

Natasha wore a simple yet sexy little black dress with a diamond necklace, earrings and a plain black band on her right ring finger. He joked that the ring had a hidden needle full of poison inside.

“Aldrich couldn’t handle you in that dress tonight, anyway.” That got a smirk out of her. “Speaking of simps, where’s Barton?”

Her face softened, becoming almost wistful.

“Too far.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Stark.” A waiter interrupted and held out a short glass with clear liquid, another sat on a small tray. “Compliments of Mr. Killian.”

Tony looked across the room at Aldrich then turned away from his top competitor and rolled his eyes.

Natasha accepted both, thanked the young man and downed the first drink in one gulp. She held up the second and toasted to Killian in thanks.

“He doesn’t look pleased that I drank his expensive liquor.”

“I'm sure he wanted to see me choke on it.”

“Bitter finish,” she scrunched her nose, “I did you a favor.”

The host of the evening announced a silent auction would begin in ten minutes.

“Romanov, get us out of here.”

“Follow me.” Natasha stood but quickly put a hand to her forehead.

“You okay?” Tony jumped to her side when she swooned and grabbed for the edge of the table.

Tony laced his arm through hers. She giggled.

“Wait. Are you drunk?”

"No.” Natasha yanked her arm free, wobbling a little as she did so.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" He’d seen Natasha drink way more than tonight but never slur or stumble.

"Funny. Do you want to leave? Or do you want me to announce that the after party is at your house?” She turned towards the podium.

“No, no.” He stopped her. “No more jokes. Get us out of here.”

On the ride home, Natasha was quiet. Tony kept from commenting on the fine sheen of sweat glistening over her face and neck or how she kept her eyes closed, making little noises with every turn of the car.

He had his own private entrance to his penthouse but offered to ride up with Nat.

“I’m fine.” She clipped and fumbled into the elevator.

Tony hovered until the number to her floor stopped and started back down. The doors opened.

The empty compartment should have made him feel better, but it didn't.

Stark wandered down to his basement lab and poured a scotch, contemplating on how to check on his favorite bodyguard without her knowing he was checking on her.

Hey. he texted. Does William Tell know we went on a date?

Waiting for a reply, Tony flipped on the news and opened his new software system, an advanced A. I. program he’d been working on for the Tower.

Glancing at his phone, he frowned. No response yet. He tried again.

Breakfast in the morning? Happy wants to go over the new security install with you.

His knee bounced impatiently waiting for a response.

At the five minute mark, Tony called for Jarvis.

“Jarvis, security override, Stark616. What is the status of Agent Romanov?”

“Agent Romanov’s heart rate and blood pressure are abnormal. Vitals indicate she is unconscious, sir.”

Tony raced to the elevator.

“Agent Romanov is in Agent Barton’s quarters, the master bathroom.”

Tony would’ve enjoyed that little piece of information any other time, right now, he needed to know Nat was okay.

Rushing through Clint’s apartment, Tony burst into the bathroom.

“Oh my God, Natasha.” She was unconscious on the floor. “Nat, wake up! Jarvis, call Bruce!”

How to Organize a Successful Fundraising Event

Fundraising events are essential for supporting nonprofits, charities, and community initiatives. Whether you're organizing a gala dinner, charity auction, or a fun run, a well-planned event can raise funds and boost awareness for your cause. However, creating a successful fundraiser requires careful planning, coordination, and the right tools to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you organize a fundraising event that achieves your objectives.

Define Your Fundraising Goals

Before getting into the details, clarify what you want to accomplish. How much money do you aim to raise? Are you focusing on building long-term relationships with donors, raising awareness, or both? Having specific goals will guide your decisions and help you evaluate your event’s success.

Choose the Right Type of Fundraising Event

The format of your event should match your target audience and available resources. Some popular fundraising events include:

Charity Galas – Formal dinners featuring auctions or raffles.

Walkathons and Runs – Engage the community in a healthy activity while raising funds.

Online Fundraising Campaigns – Virtual events like live-streamed concerts or webinars.

Benefit Concerts – Collaborate with local artists to draw in donors.

Silent Auctions – Motivate attendees to bid on donated items.

Once you’ve selected the event type, choose an appropriate date and venue that can accommodate your expected guests.

Set a Budget

Creating a clear budget is essential to avoid overspending and to ensure that a larger portion of your funds supports your cause. Take into account expenses such as:

Venue rental

Catering and entertainment

Marketing and promotional materials

Event registration software and ticketing fees

Permits and insurance

Look for sponsors or in-kind donations to reduce expenses and increase funds raised.

Use Event Management Software

Handling RSVPs, gathering donations, and tracking attendees manually can be quite challenging. Implementing event management software can make the planning process more organized. Features like online registration, automated confirmation emails, and real-time reporting help you manage logistics effectively. This software also assists in monitoring ticket sales and attendance, ensuring all necessary data is consolidated in one location.

Promote Your Event

No matter how well-organized your event is, it won’t succeed without participants. Use various channels to promote it:

Email Marketing – Dispatch invitations and follow-up reminders.

Social Media – Set up event pages, share updates, and motivate attendees to spread the word.

Press Releases – Contact local media outlets for coverage.

Partnerships – Team up with businesses and influencers to broaden your audience.

Employing event registration tools with integrated promotional features can aid in managing invitations, tracking RSVPs, and sending reminders to those who have registered.

Engage and Motivate Attendees

A fundraising event should not only be about collecting donations but also about creating a meaningful experience for attendees. Engage your guests with:

Compelling Stories – Share real-life impact stories to connect donors with your cause.

Interactive Activities – Live auctions, raffles, and guest speakers can keep attendees involved.

Acknowledgments and Recognition – Publicly thank donors and sponsors for their contributions.

Ensure a Smooth Event Day Execution

On the event day, have a detailed timeline and assign roles to your team members. Check that:

The venue setup is complete.

Registration stations are ready with event registration software for easy check-ins.

Speakers and performers are briefed.

Volunteers know their responsibilities.

Using event management software with on-site check-in features can help minimize delays and enhance the guest experience.

Follow Up and Show Appreciation

Once the event is over, your work isn’t done yet. Follow up with attendees by:

Sending thank-you emails and donation receipts.

Sharing event highlights and impact reports.

Keeping donors engaged with future initiatives.

Utilizing event registration tools can help maintain attendee lists, making it easier to reach out for future fundraising efforts.

Final Thoughts

Organizing a successful fundraising event takes effort, but with the right planning and tools, you can achieve your goals while making a lasting impact. By leveraging event manager software, engaging attendees effectively, and maintaining donor relationships, you can ensure that your fundraising event is both memorable and financially rewarding.

How does a silent auction work?- An ultimate Guide

how does a silent auction work

Silent auctions, as the name suggests, are noiseless bidding events where participants submit their bids in writing, often on bid sheets placed next to each item or display. The items up for bid can range from art pieces and collectibles to experiences or services. Bidders write down their name and the amount they are willing to pay for the item, hoping to outbid other participants.

Silent auctions typically have a predetermined end time, after which the highest bidder for each item wins. The winners are then announced, and they can claim their items or experiences. Traditional silent auctions required manual record-keeping and constant vigilance to prevent bid tampering. However, with the help of technology, silent auctions have become more organized and accessible.

Ultimate Auction Pro is a game-changer in the silent auction industry, offering a comprehensive software solution for both organizers and bidders. The silent auction app allows bidders to participate remotely, expanding the reach of the event. Participants can conveniently place bids, monitor their progress, and receive instant notifications if they are outbid. This user-friendly interface adds an element of excitement to the process, encouraging more active participation.

For organizers, Ultimate Auction Pro streamlines the auction management process. It provides tools for item cataloging, bid tracking, and reporting. Additionally, the app eliminates the need for physical bid sheets, reducing the risk of bid errors and ensuring a secure bidding environment.

Simple Tips For Encouraging More Participation In Your Silent Auction

Silent auctions are fantastic fundraising events, but you need active and engaged bidders to make them truly successful. The more people participate, the higher the chances of raising significant funds for your cause. But how do you encourage more participation and bidding engagement in your silent auction? This blog discusses strategies to help you create an engaging silent auction event that keeps bidders excited and involved. If you're looking for silent auction guidelines, you can benefit from the following. Read on:

Create An Attractive Auction Catalog:

Your auction catalog is your first opportunity to engage bidders. Make it visually appealing and organized, with clear descriptions and high-quality images of each item. Include enticing item details, such as the item's value, donor information, and any special features that make it unique. A well-structured catalog will grab bidders' attention and encourage them to explore further.

Offer A Variety Of Desirable Items:

Diverse auction items attract a broader range of bidders. Include a mix of experiences, tangible goods, and services. Think about what appeals to your target audience and try to cater to different tastes and interests. The more options you provide, the more likely attendees will find items they want to bid on.

Set Competitive Starting Bids:

While you want to maximize fundraising, starting bids should be reasonable and accessible to a wide range of bidders. High starting bids can discourage participation. Strike a balance between ensuring items sell for their value and encouraging initial bids.

Promote Pre-Event Bidding:

Encourage potential bidders to start bidding before the event. Utilize your silent auction software, like PayBee, to allow early online bidding. This creates excitement, generates early revenue, and sets the tone for competitive bidding during the event. Consider this if you're looking for silent auction guidelines.

Interactive Item Displays:

Create an eye-catching display for your auction items. Use themed tables, display cases, or other creative setups to showcase items effectively. For online auctions, include high-resolution images and engaging descriptions that provide a virtual experience of the items.

Bidding Stations:

Set up designated bidding stations with tablets or computers for in-person events. This makes it easy for attendees to place bids and check on items throughout the event. For virtual auctions, ensure your online platform is user-friendly and provides real-time bidding updates.

Real-Time Updates:

Keep attendees informed with real-time updates on current bid amounts and bid deadlines. This creates a sense of urgency and competition, encouraging participants to place higher bids to secure their desired items.

Engaging Emcee or Auctioneer:

A charismatic emcee or auctioneer can energize the crowd and create a lively atmosphere. They can explain the rules, highlight special items, and encourage bidding. Their presence adds excitement to the event and keeps participants engaged.

Gamification and Challenges:

Introduce friendly competition by incorporating gamification elements. Create challenges, like "highest bidder of the hour" or "most items won," with small prizes for winners. This encourages continuous participation and excitement.

Mobile Bidding Apps:

Consider using mobile bidding apps like PayBee that allow attendees to bid from their smartphones. Mobile accessibility makes bidding more convenient, increasing participation and engagement.

Live Entertainment And Refreshments:

Make the event enjoyable by including live entertainment, music, or refreshments. A pleasant atmosphere keeps attendees engaged and encourages them to stay longer, increasing their chances of bidding.

Auction Item Previews:

Host a preview session before the official bidding begins. This allows attendees to inspect items up close, ask questions, and plan their bids.

Thank And Recognize Bidders:

Show appreciation for bidders' participation and contributions. Acknowledge their bids during the event and thank them publicly. Recognizing bidders fosters a sense of community and encourages continued support.

Post-Event Follow-Up:

After the silent auction, send personalized thank-you notes to bidders, whether they won items. Engage with attendees through emails or social media, sharing the impact of their contributions and inviting them to future events.

Following these silent auction guidelines or strategies can help create an experience that maximizes bidding engagement, encourages participation, and raises more funds for your nonprofit organization's important cause.

The Benefits of Silent Auctions You Need to be Familiar With

You cannot ignore the fact anymore that online auctions can make more people interested as compared to actual auctions. There are more people who can participate too which means that there is a bigger chance that the items that are being auctioned will be sold. By knowing the different benefits, you will be enticed to choose the right software for charity auctions now. Are you ready to make the right choice?

You already know that there are different charity auctions that exist. It is possible that you have always loved joining because you like the fact that you can acquire new things by being the highest bidder. Silent auctions will always be successful provided that the auctions are being handled by trusted companies. One of the things that organizations use in order to make this successful is the right software for silent auctions. How much do you know about this? You should start learning more details because this is something that you may decide to use later on. In order to learn more information, you can definitely check Google Maps.

The first thing that you have to remember is that careful planning can make a difference with the outcome of the auction that you are planning. You need to know how you can make the entire auction work without having to leave the platform. You would also have to know more about how the auction can be advertised to your target market. The more interested people become when they see your items, the better you will be able to sell. The right mobile bidding software can make the planning and execution of the bidding better. Are you interested to learn more? The details will hopefully help you in the maintenance of the whole auction.

One of the first benefits is how the auction will be able to increase your revenue. One of the ways that you can measure if your event is successful or not is based on the amount that you will get for the items that you are auctioning. The more people who can participate, the higher the possible amount of money that will be received from the auction.

Another benefit that you can get when you decide to use a silent auction software is there is no need to double check all of the bids that you will get because the software that you will use will eliminate cheating. This means that all of the participants will be honest and you will know who is the rightful owner of the items that you are auctioning. This is more convenient than trying to read the number of the bidder in an actual hall.

It cannot be denied that it is through the silent auction that people have started appreciating auctions again. There was a time when people cannot understand what it is for. Now that the chance is given, you just need to pick the right software that will provide the services that you need. It may be complicated to pick but there are some that will manage to stand out.

How likely do you think the TikTok ban will happen?

Hi Anon, thank for you the Ask!

Apologies for taking a few weeks to respond.

It’s a great question, and I don’t know what to say other than rant about how so many over the age of 50 (elder Gen X, Boomers, Silent Gen) got the best of “The Great Society” and immediately pulled the ladder up after them.

Their misanthropy beggars belief.

These ghouls have taken away every Third Place (aka Third Space) where people (young and old) can simply be. They stole these spaces with their perverse helicopter parenting, obsession with activity planning, cop and CPS calls, anti-loitering bullshit, “no funding for libraries/parks to stay open after 5pm” tricks, relentless auctioning of the Commons to the landlord class, and so on.

And now they screech about young people on their phones? The only space left to them?Whether they are going after TikTok or anything else that young people like to use online, it’s the same tired bullshit. They want everything for themselves: “I got mine, fuck you.” “My convenience is more important than your entire existence.”

Worst part is that the “TikTok ban” isn’t even about TikTok. That’s just some lobbyist/special interest spin that works on dusty people who don’t understand technology. It’s an excuse to create more invasive authoritarian police state surveillance as a Patriot Act 2.0. I’m not one for deep state and chem trails conspiracies but this whole thing is very serious. Speaking of which where are those clowns? They should be storming the Bastille over this.

There are other ways to deal with TikTok’s “security concerns” (some of which are legit). Like honestly? Don’t fucking tell me that you care about security in the context of technology while you’ve allowed our factories to crumble and every part of vital electronic devices to be manufactured in the nation that you’re so concerned about. Hardware trumps software. Fucking clods. These people are so privileged that they can still cruise through life without knowing how to fully use their smartphones and computers. We are fully dependent upon China for everything from toilet paper to satellite parts.

For anyone under 30, especially under 25, you all have no idea the life that was taken from you.

They (your parents, grandparents, not China) robbed y’all of freedom-of-being in pursuit of their own anti-social convenience. Their tools are the police state, aided by capitalists who are more than happy to force us all into a subscription-and-fee existence of fruitless labor. Their convenience is our prison.

Somewhere in here is a conversation to be had as to why it is that a mobile video app from a nation with profoundly invasive monitoring of its citizens was/is the big “third place” for youth today (followed by Twitch, and I guess Discord?), and what that means for freedom of expression online or anywhere. I got nothing against TikTok. I think it’s great that millions of people are using it to communicate ideas in ways that are clever, exciting, fulfilling to so many…and threatening to capitalists and authoritarians.
