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: Krista Lenz

[diamonds_forever]

Aw, this one seemed really sweet. "The new girl in town with a generous nature and a sweet smile, she could use someone to show her around! And just look how cute she is -- wouldn't you like to get to know her a little better?"

[knowitallgoddess]

I really don't want to share my precious roommate with anyone else. 10 dollars.

[primordialbeat]

[HEY GUESS WHO'S GOING TO GET INTO ANOTHER BIDDING WAR, PALUTENA.]

Fifteen.

[Raiko, you don't even know half these people.]

[theveilisin]

Twenty.

[No seriously, the bidding thing is fun. And bidding on girls is, well, safe.]

[primordialbeat]

Twenty five.

[Bid bid bid, bidding right along.]

you saw nothing

[theveilisin]

I can't give up just yet, can I? Thirty.

[knowitallgoddess]

Forty!

[primordialbeat]

Fifty. I like everyone's spirits!

[knowitallgoddess]

I'm happy that you do but sixty. I have to win at least one.

[primordialbeat]

Go above...

[Calling:] Seventy!

... And you will.

[SHE NEEDS TO NOT WIN ALL OF THESE LMAO]

[knowitallgoddess]

If you promise to take care of her properly...

[primordialbeat]

I just want new friends. Is that so much to ask for?

[knowitallgoddess]

Since I get to sleep with her when I want, I suppose you can have her for now.

[primordialbeat]

Wow.

Phrasing.

[Snickering either way.]

[martyrerkomplex]

[Seriously, Palutena, phrasing! Krista's mouth sort of opens with the intent to protest that point, but she's a little too flustered for any actual words to make it out.]

[knowitallgoddess]

Are you sure I didn't do that intentionally?

[primordialbeat]

I'm pretty sure you did, but I can at least try to protect some of her dignity.

[knowitallgoddess]

I wish you all the luck.

[primordialbeat]

Why do I feel like you threw that bid on purpose?

[Well, best she can do is wait and see if anyone else out-bids her.]

[youcouldbemine]

[Elphelt waits... and waits.. and waits.. Then raises a hand.]

One hundred!

[gregorydeegan]

"Two hundred," he said, not that he was interested in her romantically, but because she seemed like someone who needed a self-esteem boost.

[eileaneathompson]

"Eli needs more friends," the clone said. Was she getting.... MORE chipper?! "So I bet a thousand!" and off she went.
