Valentine's Date Auction [Open]

[genpcs]

WHO: Open!
WHAT:

Valentine's Auction & Party!

WHEN:

2/07/2017

WHERE: The Castle Royale Hotel, Genessia City.
WARNINGS: None.

The event space in the Castle Royale Hotel in Genessia City was decorated for this event. Pink hearts and other decorations were tastefully hung and placed all over the place to help people get into that romantic type of mood. It took quite a while to decorate it all, but it would take less time to get it all down once the event was over.

Just approaching the hotel, you would be able to hear the sound of music faintly playing. The event would have been awkward if there wasn’t any DJ at all to play music to get people in the dancing sort of mood. The DJ has their little area set up so he could entertain the guests with various genres of music. Some slow, some fast, some in-between. But the one thing it has in common is it is all something you can dance to.

The event officially starts at 5PM, but the doors themselves open at 4PM. Though at that time, things are still being set up, but you won't be asked to leave if you decide to sit around and wait for it to start. The GCPD are in attendance as well to help keep the peace.

[ooc: Below there will be 4 separate threads posted for all of the areas available. Feel free to use them or post your own outside of them. . Don't bid more in the auction than your character would plausibly have. For instance, if they don't have a job, they can't bid 10,000 redbills. Bidding should be done within their actual means.

The Auction will end on Feb 13th, 11:59PM

Auction is closed.

Tables/Balconies

[genpcs]

Need a place to sit down and people watch? Grab an unoccupied table or sit with someone that you know. Are you in need of fresh air instead? Going to the upper floor, you will find doors leading out to several different balconies. They are a perfect way for stepping outside without actually departing from the party.

Blaze

[ghostofrazgriz]

[Blaze was a bit of a wallflower as it was, but this time around he seemed especially content on avoiding the party. Why? Because that whole auction thing was kind of embarrassing. Couldn't he have just made a donation and left it at that? He likely wouldn't even be here if not for him mysteriously being signed up.

Equipped with a glass of wine (which was unusual for Blaze to partake in alcohol most of the time, but he could give himself a pass this time), he was hiding out on one of the balconies. It was nice having an escape that didn't mean he'd have to leave. He would most likely be found flipping through his device while he leaned on the railing, making frequent checks incase any emergencies in Attleton came up. He was apparently incapable of letting loose and relaxing, even at parties.]

[swordprincess]

[Karla was taking a break from dancing this time around and taking a seat at one of the tables. Once again, she was mysteriously signed up for the date auction. Not that she had any specific complaints, other than the mild embarrassment. Who would be crazy enough to bid on her this year? Karla sat at the table sipping on her soda as she watched...]

[kalmaleader]

[Qubine, being the monster of a dragon that he is, can't quite fit inside the building. Still curious about this celebration, he sits outside the building by the balconies. Hopefully nobody gets too startled when they step outside and see a giant dragon peering at them...]

[telsen]

[Unfortunately, Telsen is an easily startled sort and needed some fresh air after seeing just who was up for auction. Did he get spotted? He sure hoped not. Oh no oh no.

Telsen stepped out onto the balcony as he watched the room behind him over his shoulder. As soon as he turned around- yep, that was a lot of dragon. He yelped and jumped back, smacking into the door frame, dropping his cup in the process.

Terrified, he chose the smartest option, clearly, and turned into a cloud of mist. He hovered there over his spilled drink, misty.]

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia, dressed in her favorite pink party dress, was pacing along the balcony, feeling rather nervous. Without Satsuki or Ayame knowing, she signed herself up for this auction to test a very selfish theory.

What makes her nervous, she has a few. Who will bid on her. What will happen when Satsuki and Ayame find out. And what if that Trevenant comes back.

She really does not want to date a tree.

To settle her racing, anxious heart, Anastasia repeatedly tells herself she is only doing this to satisfy her own curiosity and nothing more. Certainly nothing bad will happen either. But what if she's wrong? It looks like she won't be able to relax and enjoy the party.]

[02crusnikabel]

[Now why the young princess signed up for this? Still, it seems a lot of young people had signed up themselves out of curiousity or by a prank of others for the event, and the money does go for charity.

So Abel quietly slipped $300 at the booth, given a ticket/receipt as proof, and approached Anastasia. Money isn't an issue, because he had savings from whatever is left over from selling his store before becoming a librarian.

Seeing she's nervous, he smiled for her to keep things in good humor.]

Princess, why did you sign up for the auction? Though charity can be a good thing, I think.

[zenoh]

[ Ayame had no intentions of going to the party; especially after Namur influenced her in how silly the date auction is. That and she's been watching over Anastasia, who was staying with her longer than they intended. The party begins at 5PM, just when Ayame closes her shop for the day. Giving Anastasia a call that went unanswered a couple of times made Ayame suspicious, and it was made clear that Anastasia wasn't in her apartment when Ayame made it home. She makes it a point to keep her senses shut, as to not invade other people's privacy, but Anastasia running off and not answering her phone was enough of a reason for Ayame to open up her psychic senses momentarily, sensing where Anastasia could be. She could only sigh when she senses Anastasia at the place of the Valentine's event.

In the blink of an eye, Ayame teleports herself to the balcony. No flashy effects, and no magic circles, she just appeared right next to Anastasia as if she was there all along. ]

Really? Not even a note?

[ Ayame crosses her arms. The tone of her question is calm as it may seem, but after she spoke, she gives Anastasia a stern look. ]

ota

[black_black_heart]

Tannusen stood at one of the upstairs railings, overlooking the main floor. A number of the 'prizes' seemed... awfully young. Had any of those kids signed themselves up? What Tannusen had done to Trahearne by signing him up was good clean fun, as the Marshal was more than capable of defending himself -- or even just not showing up. It wasn't like the tiger had teleported him here.

But the general pool? That conversation he'd had on the network seemed increasingly relevant.

He tapped black-gloved fingers on the railing, frowning very slightly.

[treesus]

"I should've known, Tannusen." Trahearne was still annoyed when he found the tiger. He had the same reservations about the age range of this auction as Tannusen did but for right now he was a bit sour about the 'lord of the nerds' thing. Rude!

He wasn't annoyed enough to do anything but glare at Tannusen. So he did that. And then leaned on the railing beside him, a plastic cup in one hand.

Professor Sycamore | OTA

[megabond]

[While he's confused about the date auction segment for this event, Professor Sycamore can't say no to another fundraising event this Valentine's Day while wearing his usual formal wear. Although, he would have enjoyed the event if he hasn't seen his own picture during the date auction.

Right now, you can see him alone on a table as he's not only waiting for someone to talk to but also wondering who in the world signed him up in the date auction in the first place.]

Gengar shenanigans and bidding: OTA

[youfool]

Gengar's up to his usual: trolling. He's a hard ghost to see, being invisible 99% of the time, but one might feel his presence by the slight chill in the air. He's come prepared with a list of tricks, by no means exhaustive:

1. Pulling down pants, stretching faces, and otherwise invading your personal space for a gag.
2. Telekinetically moving and replacing things, making one unsure of their belongings and surroundings.
3. Illusions! Such as feigning a chair where there isn't, then laughing at the pratfall, or putting clear space where a wall is, enjoying the collision.
4. An ample supply of "kick me" signs, ready to be placed on one's back in an instant. He also has "DTF". He's unsure of the meaning, but people often react with shock, which is good enough for him.
5. Spoooky sounds.

Surprise surprise, he's also bidding! Not with much; a mere two red bills, but if you want a ghostly date, look no further. Also accepting donations. voluntary or otherwise...

Re: Gengar shenanigans and bidding: OTA

[yoyoboy]

[OOC: This is set before his OTA below. Plus, I want him to learn more about Pokemon and torment him with ghostly stuff.]

[While he's just arrived in Genessia yesterday, Tony can't help but to go to this Valentine's Day party after he found an invitation from a newspaper he found from K&H Homes as he might able to score a date there.

As Tony arrives on the scene, he was amazed at not only the music playing through the speakers but also the food that is right in front of him. However, his excitement was short lived as when he's about to walk around the venue, he quickly tripped on something and fell down on the ground.

At first, he was confused about it. That is until he sees pants mysteriously fell down, which it shows his teddy bear boxers to anyone. Of course, his face turned red as he reacts not only in embarrassment but also in anger.]

Hey! Who did this?! Who just pull down my pants?!

[Of course, he is so angry right now, that he failed to feel a chilly presence behind him.]

Adela | OTA

[enchantressofore]

[ Maybe she's a little better than she was, but she's still far from good. Still, perhaps watching people at the party will help.

Adela can't help sighing to herself as she sits at a table on the balconies above the dance floor, watching everyone else absently. It's some of the last bit of time she has before she intends to leave with Ace, so she might as well spend it doing something a little nicer for herself right? Right.

If nothing else, that auction thing should be fun to watch. ]

[[ OoC: What Adela will be wearing this evening! ]]

Refreshments

[genpcs]

At this table you will find various manners of food. It is kept perfectly stocked, with new snacks and finger foods being brought out when the table gets low. There is a separate table for drinks, with wine being the only alcoholic beverage there. There are other beverages, but they range from water, to juice, to soda and the like. Just to give people a variety

Gale Reinhardt

[orlokbutterfly]

[For once, Gale actually wasn't spending all of his time at the dance floor. In a strange turn of events, he didn't exactly feel like drawing attention to himself - maybe because of the nonsense that was the Nova City incident. So, he was more focused on the refreshment tables instead. The lack of alcohol was a little disappointing (but he's around alcohol almost 24/7 so that wasn't a big deal) but he's more content on getting a soda this time around.

He was eyeing the various foods, having a bit of trouble deciding on what to grab. A couple things jumped out to him, but at the same time he wasn't really that interested. Maybe he should just grab a strawberry and be done with it. Picking out some kind of snack shouldn't feel like rocket science.]

[liorafae]

[As usual, there were no insects being served. Unfortunately, Liora can't complain, because these humans apparently just don't eat insects. So she'd have to branch out her diet a little bit, but part of her was worried about getting sick on all these complex foods.]

[She perches herself very carefully on the edge of one of the refreshment tables, picking out a strawberry. And then she begins to nibble on it. The taste is surprisingly sweet and juicy.]

Kanonno

[in_a_barrel]

[Kanonno was browsing the selection on the refreshment tables. There were so many to try, but if she's going to take part in this dating auction, then she may have to refrain from snacking. She might stain her outfit and she wanted to look her best.

But why would Kanonno sign up for a dating auction? She has no interest in dating. She's doing this for charity. So if it's for a good cause, she will go on a date with a boy...or perhaps a man.

Well, she's nervous now. It makes her look like she is really struggling to decide on what to have to eat.]

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi was raiding the food table, filling a small plate with various snacks and floating off to a far corner to eat it. It was mostly sweets which would no doubt bring disaster upon whomever had to deal with the energetic little youkai later.

She had also long since learned that most parties didn't supply the kinds of alcohol that affected youkai and so had brought a decently sized gourd of oni sake which she used to keep the dish she was sipping from perpetually full.

She wasn't trying to remain hidden at least. Anyone especially observant or who knew her would be able to spot her easily... as well as anyone who simply ran into the little unseen monster by accident.

Tony Clark | OTA

[yoyoboy]

[While he's still uncomfortable that he's trapped in Genessia, at least he managed to calm down a bit after his screaming introduction yesterday. Besides, who can stay irritated with a free admission to Valentine's event? Not Tony as he's busy filling his stomach with delicious snacks around him.

Unlike most of the guests, he was still wearing his usual clothes from yesterday, but the difference is that his clothes are now dry, but also he managed to snag a new pair of yellow and white sneakers after he lost a shoe during his arrival.

Of course, after he's done scarfing down on the free food, he decided to try getting into Valentine's Day spirit by trying to get a girl.]

Hello, ladies! Name's Tony Clark, a new kid in Genessia and I'm looking for a date for Valentine's Day! Just step right up and the Tonster will do the rest!

[You might either ignore him or try to shut him up if you want.]

Dance Floor

[genpcs]

Are you looking to “shake your groove thang”? Then the dance floor Is where you want to be! Grab a partner and hit it. Or if you came with a date, grab them and do the same.

Trevenant things OTA

[youfool]

Wood is creaking, leaves are rustling. That can only mean one thing: Trevenant is back, shaking for all he's worth.

He's also bidding! He saved up his unspent money from last time, leaving him with a grand total of THREE RED BILLS! It's not much, but hope springs eternal in his wooden heart. Now's your chance to date him, or even donate to the cause!
