2017 Winter Holiday Party!

WHO: OPEN TO ALL!
WHAT: Holiday party! Date auction! Shenanigans.
WHEN: December 15th, 2017 - Evening
WHERE: Fairy Tale HQ - Fayren
NOTES: The auction and the kissing contest are time sensitive! Bids close and the last kiss will be accepted on Friday, December 22nd, at midnight PST!

Fayren didn't have electricity, but it had something even better.

MAGIC!


There were twinkling colored lights that burned, flickered, and floated in an ethereal way, enchanting the building in a way that fluorescent lights never could. Branches of evergreen were hung here and there to give the air a fresh pine scent. There were also pinecones doused with cinnamon and nutmeg near the doorways.

Except near the kitchens, because the food smells were more than enough to entice the senses. There were mini-sausages swimming in a thick and spicy sauce, sweet and tangy meatballs on toothpicks, vegetables and dip, bite-sized cream puffs, iced sugar cookies, cheese and crackers, mulled cider, and eggnog in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties.

The main room, expansive as it was, had plenty of room for music, dancing, and mingling. There were some tables and several chairs set up, and a small stage where musicians were welcome to perform to their heart's content. To the side was an even smaller stage where a sprig of mistletoe was suspended on a loop of scarlet ribbon, with a sign that reads: "Test Your Passion! Win This Arcade Game!" And next to that was a full-sized arcade game version of Alley Brawlers. Might be worth checking out!

But there were more games than that, and more than a few maps set up on easels of the headquarters and where to go to play certain games. A single lane bowling alley (with manual set-up of the pins), a "fishing" booth where people toss a clothespin on a fishing line over a curtain to have a little prize attached by someone hidden on the other side, a ring toss for cans of soda, a cake walk (with full-sized cakes for the winners and cupcakes for the losers), ornament decorating, pin-the-tail-on-the-unicorn, face painting, a pool of rubber ducks with numbers corresponding to prizes on the bottom, goldfish scooping... Almost anything one would find at a carnival was sure to be found here.

As for the auction? Step right up, right past the gauzy white curtains into a big room lit with twinkling golden lights. Anyone was welcome to come in, but if someone wanted to participate as a bidder, they'd have to make a donation at the door. In return, each donor would receive a packet of 100 red tickets with the same number assigned to the bidder name: one roll of tickets with 101 for the first donor, a roll of tickets with 102 for the second donor, and so on.

Cookies and punch were available in this room, with several tables and chairs set up before a large stage with a microphone. Along the wall was a line of clear plastic boxes, with slots on top, set in front of each auction date's face. A card that indicated the name of each person, their age, and a brief description of what they were all about was pasted onto the front of the boxes. People were welcome to look at the line-up if they wanted, or even use some of their tickets prematurely if they wanted, as they were clearly for a drawing. Until the auction starts, soft piano music plays from a stereo running on batteries.

[Seth looks like he's in his mid twenties though his age is closer to over a thousand. He's happy to be up on the stage and an item for the auction. He is a fan of charity.

He flashes a friendly smile while his tongue flicks across his lip ring. It's a habit and one that Seth's never been able to curb. He's wearing a nice suit with a vest pulled over a white button down shirt. He'd look more formal if he had tucked in his shirt but the style works for him.]


Isn't this exciting?

[Yeah, he's having fun.]

30 bills.

[Kirika's voice echoes from the crowd, raising her hand.]
truesmiles: (01)

[personal profile] truesmiles 2017-12-16 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
40 tickets

[He figured he might as well have fun with betting the tickets he got for donating. He figured he probably wasn't going to win, but doesn't hurt to try and boost up the number of tickets used.]
carrythesin: ([glancing; rodger!])

[personal profile] carrythesin 2017-12-17 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she was expecting someone to bet, which was why she started small. She was calm about it.]

50 tickets.
truesmiles: (160)

[personal profile] truesmiles 2017-12-18 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
80 tickets.

[Because he is pretty sure she will use the max. He wasn't trying to get anything, he just had no use for the tickets and figured why not.]
carrythesin: ([listening; yummy])

[personal profile] carrythesin 2017-12-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't plan to use her tickets on anyone else, and surprisingly she hasn't lost her edge like everyone else when they were desperate on the bids. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.]

110.
unbridledtiger: (You're adorable)

[personal profile] unbridledtiger 2017-12-18 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seth is really enjoying this. He smiles between his two bidders looking at easy throughout the bid.

He's always found Kirika adorable and while he doesn't know Fai, the man is rather handsome.]


This is getting exciting.
princeliers: (s3)

[personal profile] princeliers 2017-12-16 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! It is very exciting I'm glad you said that! Have fun with this! I believe in you!

[waves to him from the crowd!]
unbridledtiger: (Smiling)

[personal profile] unbridledtiger 2017-12-18 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[Seth offers Sidon a momentary bow, bending at his waist.]

I hope you have equal excitement during the auction.

[He seems like a nice dude.]
