[OPEN] Valentine's Auction & Party!

WHO: Open!
WHAT:

Valentine's Auction & Party!

WHEN:

2/07/2016

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.

[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. The auction now closed. 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]

1500!

[Take that Ice Queen.]

[ ...Somehow it pisses her off that Jaune is trying to outbid her. ]

2000, Jaune.

[ They're going to ruin Nora's chances of actually getting her a date. ]

Did you put Nora in too? I'm pretty sure she and Ren are a thing.

[If he's good at anything, it's not knowing when to give up.]

2500! Snow Angel.

[Oops?]

I am so offended you'd even think I would do that. Not according to Nora. I think they're in denial.

8000.

[ She's pretty sure you don't have that much money to spend, Jaune. Just piss her off right quick with that Snow Angel comment, see what happens. ]

Well, I suppose he isn't here anyway so it can't hurt.. It'd be unfair to make Nora wait if Ren never shows.

Really, Snow Angel?

[He narrows his eyes, debating over this very important issue. Finally, he yells out as loudly as he can:]

9000!

I wonder what Nora's type is anyway.

[ Yeah, consider this vengeance for signing Weiss up for a date auction in the first place, Jaune. ]

I concede. Enjoy your 9000 bill date.

Wait.

What?

[He...actually... He just spent all of his money on a date with Nora. The shock wears off and he's just met with horror over all the money he just spent.]

I...won. I beat Weiss... Victory is hollow.

I think this is what you call a Pyrrhic Victory.

Are you KIDDING ME?! Really?!

You are cruel, Ice Queen. That's it, that's your new nickname. I was fooled by your angelic facade...but no longer!

[And Pyrrha saw all of this....]

I'd appreciate if you didn't use "a Pyrrhic Victory".....

[What the hell have you guys gotten yourselves into....?]

I can't help it if that's what it's called, Pyrrha.

Well... At least it goes to charity....

[She's not amused by their childishness with this, but it was very much like them....]

PYRRHA DO NOT SIDE WITH HER.

[Sorry, helping out a teammate is one thing... Completely ruining her chances to a proper date because you're too stubborn to lose is a whole 'nother horse of a different color.]

Do you even have that kind of money?

[He groans. Loudly. Defeat hurts.]

Not anymore I don't.

[She let out a sigh, before putting her hand on his shoulder]

Just... make sure to treat Nora to a lot of pancakes, okay?

Where did I go wrong?

[He turns around to just...lean/hug her while he mopes.]

Hey! I'm not the one who signed up someone who explicitly told me that I didn't want to look for someone to date, so don't blame me for getting irritated with you when you started bidding on your own teammate instead of sticking to your girlfriend.

Besides: It's charity, it's not my fault if you bid outside of your means just to run me up.

All I wanted to do was give you a good date with some random, decent stranger because I thought maybe you were overworking yourself! I'm not trying to date Nora! I'm perfectly aware I have a girlfriend, but Team JNPR has to look after its teammates in situations like this! Pyrrha would've done the same for Ren!

Then why even jump several thousand redbills if you were just going to give up?!

The whole definition of stranger is that you don't know them and couldn't possibly know whether they're decent or not. I've met every single person who's bid on me so far.

Unlike some people I give myself a spending cap. It's one of many reasons I don't end up scraping money together at the end of the month to pay bills. Also I didn't actually expect you to try to outbid me if I jumped.

I thought more strangers would be bidding. It's not like I held interviews for them ahead of time.

So did I impress you by catching you off guard?

Then maybe if you think I need a break, try getting me a gift card for a spa day instead of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong and then getting upset when I actually try to participate outside of watching you insult everyone who bids on me.

No, you just ticked me off. [ At least she's admitting he drives her crazy sometimes. ]

Maybe I will! Or I will in the distant future.

Are you sure? This is probably an easier way for you to beat me than trying to go against me in Remnant: The Game.

No you won't, you can't afford it.

Jaune, I literally don't even need to try to beat you at anything. Besides, would you have stopped if I bet higher than that?

Thanks, Ice Queen.

Don't underestimate me, Weiss. You know I would have.
