It's getting to be that time of year where people start making big plans for the holidays! Christmas, you know, is considered a very romantic holiday, and the perfect chance to confess your love to someone you care about.
So let's talk business!
[Because of course Minako is going to seize this opportunity, why wouldn't she? She cheerfully claps her palms together and beams.]I know there are
lots of single people here, because I got loads of applications for my matchmaking services.
[That's a lie, she only got one.]And since the date auction we had a little while back was such a huge and popular success, I decided it's a great time to to roll one out on a grand scale. Mark your calendars: the Heart-Bursting Date Auction of Feverish Love will be held
December 15th! That's a Friday night, so make sure you can get the night off if you work during that time. We'll be doing things a little differently, but it'll still be for charity, with money going to the local elementary schools. What I need from you guys is to sign up so people have dates to bid on!
[Minako whips out a little sample bid card and holds it in front of the screen, then pulls it back to point to the lines.]I just need your name, age, whether you like boys or girls, and a little paragraph about yourself that catches the interest of potential bidders. You can leave it blank if you want me to write it for you, but it helps if you give me some ideas about what you like, what kind of hobbies you enjoy, stuff like that!
[She puts the card down.]So is anyone planning a special holiday party? I'll happily volunteer to help out. And if not, then just leave the whole thing to me. I just need to find a space big enough for lots of people to come and dance, mingle, eat, and play some games.
[Winking, she wags a finger.]This one might be a little more casual. I want everyone to feel comfortable and have a great time! I'm confident I can get a holiday date for everyone that wants one, so sign up right now! Peace!
[She kisses her fingertips and holds up a 'V' sign, the little flirt. At least she means well. ...Mostly.]---------------
[OOC: Like she asked, you can sign up your characters for the date auction, or with another player's permission, sign up SOMEONE ELSE for the auction. The actual sign-up will be posted after December's Butterfly event to make sure we get as many current characters as possible, but now your character can start plotting ICly if they like and sending in their submissions prior to the party/auction. You can also sign up for her matchmaking services right here if you want her to officially and legally get your character a date, or take dating lessons, or anything else romance-related.]
