Pierre Nixingen was initially quite vexed. Between raising funds for his new company and launching its products, he was short on cash. He hadn't been able to sponsor the charity performance for much money, and as a result, he received very few tickets.
Fortunately, after some inquiries, he learned that both Rorschach Mage and Master Snow were unattached, which allowed Pierre to breathe a long sigh of relief.
Compared to the lead sponsor, Shaleanna Mining Company, Nixingen's two companies were small fry, so the former naturally occupied the best seats. However, Mr. Pierre had achieved his goal: Hercules Trading Company was providing all the beverages for the performance.
