[OPEN] Valentine's Auction & Party!

[genpcs]

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]

[For a moment, Gale looks stunned. He's not sure how to react at first, but in a few seconds, a wide grin spreads on his face.]

It was you? Really?

[Oh, Sakura, you're adorable. He just can't help but laugh, especially because now the "protector of the people" thing just got way cuter. Sakura would have been the least likely suspect to him- he would have suspected Troy and Dante as being the culprit first. He winks at her.]

Were you lookin' out for me and my dating life there, kid?

[spitfireprincess]

Yeah... I wanted you to be happy.

[Since Fai seems to have found someone.]

I'm sorry I don't know your job.

[orlokbutterfly]

[He really can't get over how adorable Sakura is right now. Which is probably apparent by that big smile plastered on his face.]

You don't have to worry yourself about an old guy like me.

[He pops the little cake he snagged into his mouth, then chuckles.]

To be honest, you're not too far off. I'm part bounty hunter, part Aster troubleshooter. So you could easily say a bounty hunter's a 'protector of the people.'

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura doesn't think that Gale is really that old but then she knows Fai is pretty old even though he looks rather young. At his last comment, Sakura smiles.]

I think it suits you.

[Her grin widens.]

You're always protecting me.

[orlokbutterfly]

[Aw, Sakura, you make him feel all fuzzy.]

Maybe I should start putting that on my resume. Protector of the People... [He winks at her.] and Pretty Girls.

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura's smile widens.]

Thank you and you should.

[She pauses looking over those still mulling around.]

Is there someone you like?

[orlokbutterfly]

Who, me?

[He glances over his shoulder to where the auctions were being held. He shrugged, not wanting to tell her that he wasn't really a 'relationship' kind of guy.]

Hard to say. I did put down two bids that I'm remaining unchallenged on, but...

[A broad grin suddenly comes to his face.]

I've got a terrible yet genius idea in mind for those two.

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura blinks; she had no idea what he means.]

You don't like either person you're bidding on?

[orlokbutterfly]

[Oh, Sakura, you're too much of a cinnamon roll.]

Oh, I'm quite fond of 'em both. But...

[He glances around, making sure that Troy and Aqua both weren't anywhere near earshot. He then leans close to Sakura and whispers.]

I'm pretty sure they're both pretty fond of each other, if you catch my drift.

[spitfireprincess]

[That she understands but there is one thing she doesn't.]

Why don't they bid on each other?

[orlokbutterfly]

Not sure. My best guess is that they're both too stubborn to make the first move. Or they're waiting on the other. Either one.

[He actually doesn't realize his bid on Troy barred Aqua, and really if he knew, he'd actually feel like a huge jerk. But he doesn't, so he'll just be a jerk for other reasons.]

So let's just say that if I'm victorious on both fronts, I'm gonna be looking to add 'Professional Matchmaker' to my resume too.

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura smiles.]

They are lucky to have you.
