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 BlueYour pairs must include matching ribbons!
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
