genessia | [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]

"He is Riveran, yes. My father's usual excuse for not liking Noah is because he, umm... well, he is just being an over protective father."

Ah, one of 'those' scenarios. Cannot be helped, I suppose.

[It makes her think about her own father, which makes her gaze fall downward for a moment but then she returns to considering Anastasia's scenario.]

So now that you are here in Genessia, and away from your worlds politics, what kind of things are on your mind?

[Anastasia needed to think about it for a moment.]

"Everything I left behind. My friends, family, and people. How I'm going to get by constantly living in fear of the summer months. What am I going to do if I grow into adulthood while I'm here.

I'm filled with nothing but concerns and worries."

Thinking that far into the future.. That is extremely mature.

[Satsuki looks serious, but maybe Anastasia would pick up that it's praise.]

It is a shame how quickly Genessia forces youth to grow up, though I suspect you had a leg up on most anyway, considering your circumstances.. While I am unable to assist you with the worries of your homeland, I would suggest that you try to curb those worries. It is somewhat harsh of me to say, but worrying about the past will do nothing to aid you in your current circumstance.

And while it is fine to plan for the future, perhaps it would be best to gain experience, take small steps and build upward. Furthermore, I would be more than happy to help find a solution for your Summer problem, Miss Leonhart.

[She did give the princess a gift, but she's now worried it may not be enough after all.]

[She can feel the praise, and it made her feel a little better.]

"If anything, Genessia gave a chance to be a child, to be a normal girl. In my country, I was always being prepared for my future. I never played with others my age until I came to Genessia.

I still prefer my own home though. So if you can help me in any way, I would appreciate it."

I see.. Fair enough.

[Satsuki will have to remain neutral on her opinion of if Anastasia should continue that lifestyle or not for now. She's all work and little play herself.]

If that is the case, then I shall do what I can. And now that you mention it, perhaps I should take some time to enjoy myself while I am here.

Would you be interested in dancing?

"Dancing?"

[That was the last thing she expected.]

"Well... I only know ballroom dancing. Why do you ask?"

Why?

[She glances off to the side a moment, then back to the princess.]

Would you not say this venue is better suited for leisure rather than discussing difficult matters? Mind, I fully accept the blame for taking things in that direction..

So I would like to make it up to you, if even a little. I confess my ballroom dancing is a bit out of practice.

"That's true... I did come here to get my mind off of Mamoru leaving... You don't have to blame yourself, though."

[She thinks about it for a moment.]

"Does it have to be dancing though? I wasn't taught how to lead."

[She shakes her head.]

It does not. What did you have in mind?

[She just hopes it's something she could do in a kimono.]

[Anastasia pulled her long hair over her shoulder to her front and began to gently stroke it nervously.]

"I... I don't know. Whenever I was required to attend parties, I was to dance with the sons of governors. So I was hoping you knew what else there was to do at times like this..."

[She shakes her head.]

I am afraid with my presence for the auction being necessary, our options are rather limited. I doubt bidding would be of interest to you.

Have you ever heard of the word game 'shiritori'?

"I still do not get the appeal of going on dates with those who buy you...

And no, I have not heard of such a game."

"I would not say that the appeal is in the dates themselves; the money that is raised goes toward a charitable cause. The cooperation of both sides is necessary, the one being bid upon to appear as appealing as possible to encourage higher bids, and the one performing the bidding to be willing to defeat their competition. In my opinion it is not the most efficient way to raise money, but there is little doubt in its effectiveness."

"Shiritori is a word game in which the players must declare a word that starts the last two letters of the previously declared word. It is traditionally a Japanese game, but I have heard it works with common tongue."

[Anastasia then momentarily wondered why no one nominated her to be bid upon. She believes herself to be cute and among the fairest. But at the same time, she still didnt quite approve.]

"Japanese... I think Mamoru was Japanese... May we try it?"

Is that so? I am as well.

And certainly, however there are some things to remember. The first is neither of us can use the same word twice, nor can we use another tense of an already used word. Also if a person declares a word that cannot be made into another, that person also loses.

[She then gestures to her company.]

Unless there are any other questions, would you like to go first?

"Just one: Can you tell about your country and world some time?"

[Then she moves on to start the game with her favorite thing...]

"Bunny..."

My world? Well..

[That's the first time anyone's asked her she thinks.]

The Japan I am from is a bit complicated, but I could do that.

[After a moment of thought, she takes her turn.]

Nymph.

(OOC: I'd like to tag the birthday thread and don't want to get caught up in too many scenes, so mind if we FTB here? I figure Satsuki's turn at auction could come up after their game.)
