[Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated.]

[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Chloe Decker, Lea, Kaoru Hitachiin, Takeru Takaishi, Trevor Belmont, Cloud, Daenerys Targaryen.

Dinner & Date Auction

Azura has been working hard for the past month or so, organizing and preparing for the date auction. This year, due to it still being cold outside the auction and pre-party are being held inside. However, Azura and the people she has hired have put forth great effort to make the indoor venue appear as though it is outside during the spring. Trees and plants real and fake all decorate the large room, pathways being carved out by laying out stone pebbles to create the feel of garden paths. Flowers and other similar decorations accompany the greenery, the flowers mostly in deep, passionate reds, oranges and a few purples here and there. In the back of the room, there is a long stage with a walkway, littered with petals and lights that twinkle in the mood-lit room. Candles are set up along each of the tables that have obviously been set up for dinner service.

There is a small donation box set up at the entrance of the event, for anyone who wishes to donate to the cause of fixing up the starter apartments but doesn't wish to actually participate on the bidding event.

Pre-Party
In order for attendees to meet each other as well as interact with those who have decided to put their dates up for auction, a pre-party has been arranged, with the focal point being a nice, relaxed atmosphere dinner and dance afterwards. Everything is themed to be enjoyed in pairs, so if you want to have dinner or step onto the dance floor you better be ready to do so with a partner.

Speaking of, once people arrive they are asked for their name. Upon discerning what their last name (or first, in the case of characters without last names) they are given one of 6 colored ribbon bracelets.
A-D get Green or Blue
E-I get Blue or Pink
J-M get Red or Orange
N-R get Orange or Purple
S-V get Purple or Red
W-Z get Pink or Green
Your pairs must include matching ribbons!
  1. Mingle - The first step to meeting someone new is to talk to someone. This is what the ribbons are meant to do, of course. Maybe you notice someone with the same color ribbon as you are, and decide to strike up a conversation. It's also entirely possible that this whole ribbon idea seems foolish so of course that could be a topic as well. Those who decide to pair up with like-colored ribbons will be given a sheet of items to find (certain flowers, hidden marbles, dice, and other small objects) to look for as a sort of ice breaking scavenger hunt. Those who find a significant number can get free drinks!
  2. Dinner Party - Orders are taken at the tables when people come to sit down, with the choices ranging from roast chicken, steak, and pork to more vegetarian friendly options that include a vegetable soup, tofu burgers and other assortments. Wine for adults and juice for those who are underage are offered, with water also being an option for those who don't like either. Remember, in order to partake you need to find someone with the same color ribbon as you!
  3. Dancing - Throughout the night there's an assortment of music in style and tempo, and many attendees are already cutting a rug. At times there's even a dancing competition between two pairs to see who dances the best! It's all in good fun though, since there aren't really any prizes. Of course, attendees are required to dance with partners who have the same ribbon color as them! It's also encouraged to participate in the dances with someone you've yet to meet before.

Date Auction

After the dinner party and mingle, the auction gets under way! It's a classy affair, so anyone acting particularly out of control during the bidding is quietly ushered out to save them and everyone else the embarassment. During the bidding, bidders are to stay in their seats, using paddles to signal interest that they will be given once the time is right. Of course, since this is a charity, everyone is encouraged to be generous with their bids. All dates will start off at $100.00.Unfortunately for more shy bidders, there is no silent bid option. You're going to have to fight for those spectacular dates with everyone else!

Rules
  1. This is not an OOC popularity contest, please don't treat it as such.
  2. Bidding wars are HIGHLY encouraged.
  3. Bidding closes OOCly on January 16th.
  4. Dates are up to players to organize, the dates will not be played out in this post.
  5. You MUST have fun!!!
