The Valentine's Date Auction [OPEN]

[diamonds_forever]

WHO: Eveyone who signed up + the school in general
WHAT: this thing
WHERE: Right here, in the Institute
WHEN: Saturday evening, the 14th
WARNING(S): Given the nature of the event, I almost expect it, but remember the rules regarding that kind of thing. Take it off the log if it goes there.

⊗Never let it be said that Emma didn't know her stuff. Not content with the paltry and tired and cliche decorations Kurt and subjected the students to at previous events, she had completely taken over, using a combination of her wealth and mutant powers to create a sort of bohemian love palace for the students. Dance floor, tables, the finest foods. This was not a party the likes of which they had seen before... unless they were part of the older crowd, and had witnessed Emma at work before.

Was she good or was she good? On the stage, Emma stood proudly, taking each of the auctionable singles to the stage, one by one, and selling off just a fraction of their free time to the highest bidder. And the fact that it was all for charity left the whole situation comfortably guilt and obligation free.

Of course, as the host, she was more focused on the party and its guests as a whole than any particular individuals... Attempts at sneaking off probably would go unremarked upon. Probably.

[[ OOC: Each auction will receive its own top level, as well as a top level for general mingling. PLEASE CONSULT THE PLOTTING POST BEFORE BIDDING ]]

AUCTION: Kagerou Imaizumi

[diamonds_forever]

A surprise entry, by the looks of it... This girl was in for a treat. And it sounded like she had some honestly good friends. Good for her, Emma thought to herself.

"This sweetheart is as cuddly as her fur might suggest. She's shy at first, but inside is a warmth that's infectious. Treat her well, or you'll have a lot of angry friends to answer to!"

[eternalprincess]

[Blushing a bit here, but smiling.]

I bid twenty on this adorable girl...

[primordialbeat]

[PLAYER TWO HAS ENTERED THE GAME.]

Twenty five.

[soundandfurry]

E-eh?! EHHHH?! What's going on?!

[eternalprincess]

[We have a challenger. Also, Kaguya is pretty well off, so...]

It's a bidding war! Thirty.

[soundandfurry]

Why didn't anyone explain to me how these things work...

[primordialbeat]

What do you think happens at an auction?

Thirty five!

[This is Raiko just running up bets. Jsyk.]

[soundandfurry]

I don't even know what an auction is!

[eternalprincess]

It's like buying something... In this case, it's your time. The one who gets the highest bid when the time runs out or the challenger doesn't have any more to bid wins.

[Aside to Raiko] Forty five, by the way.

[primordialbeat]

Oo, you're getting up steep, but I think she's worth at least...

[Calls out:] Fifty.

[Back to their conversation:] And yes, exactly as she said. We're bidding on your time.

[soundandfurry]

Ohhhh...

...




Why?

[eternalprincess]

This whole thing's for charity.

That and... I like you.

[A light blush, and...] Fifty nine.

[soundandfurry]

Well, yeah, you're my friend, right?

[knowitallgoddess]

Sixty.

[eternalprincess]

I see you as more than that, Shadow...

[...!] Seventy.

[soundandfurry]

-Palutena's sudden appearance distracts her enough she doesn't even notice what Kaguya said.-

Where'd you come from?!

[knowitallgoddess]

She is pretty cute though. The question is, should I spend that money on you or her.....

Eighty, by the way!

[primordialbeat]

One hundred. [Because three girls bidding on another girl amuses the hell out of Raiko.

[knowitallgoddess]

One-ten!

[eternalprincess]

[Oh no you don't. Keywords.]

Two hundred!

[knowitallgoddess]

If you promise to go on a date with me, I'll stop bidding.

[primordialbeat]

[This is Raiko cracking up laughing.

She seems to have stopped bidding, at least.]

[gregorydeegan]

"Three hundred," he said. This auction sounded like fun. And when else would he get to be surrounded by so many cute girls?

[eternalprincess]

Oh, fine...

[Oh hell no.]

Four hundred!

[gregorydeegan]

He grinned, having fun. His folks were going to kill him, until he told them it was for charity. Well, maybe he would touch the stipend a little.

"Six hundred."
