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 ]]

"This blonde little pop princess can serenade you with a number of musical instruments and styles, but be careful what you say around her. She will hear you." Boy will she ever...

[primordialbeat]

Another musician, huh?

Ten!

[... Raiko...]

[echoing_sutras]

She also has powers kind of like mine. And she's rather smart.

[primordialbeat]

Ohh. Right, I think I've heard her name before. [Yeah that just goes to show Raiko is bidding on people she has no idea who they are.]

[echoing_sutras]

About that... Don't you think you're being kind of reckless, sempai?

[primordialbeat]

What do you mean?

[echoing_sutras]

There's a distinct possibility you could win a date with every single girl you've been bidding on.

[anythingwithstrings]

And some of us heard you bid on other people first, and bid more for them.

*Yes, Maya can hear you two. Emma Frost wasn't kidding on that bit.*

[primordialbeat]

[First, to Kyouko:]

What's so wrong with that? Aside from how lon-

[Erp.

Well. There's A Thing.]

No one's bid against me yet! And you have to start somewhere.

[Bad defense, Raiko.]

[echoing_sutras]

In that case...

One hundred, please!

[primordialbeat]

Haha, that's quite a jump, but I suppose I deserve this.

One hundred twenty!

[echoing_sutras]

It's my duty to keep sempai from over-exerting herself.

One fifty!

[primordialbeat]

Haha, I will thank you by helping with the bidding war.

One seventy-five!

[echoing_sutras]

Two hundred!

[primordialbeat]

[Laughing some more.] Two twenty-five.

[echoing_sutras]

Two forty!

[primordialbeat]

Two fifty! [Hopefully Maya's happy now :V]

[echoing_sutras]

Hmm... Sempai's pretty serious about this...

[primordialbeat]

Well, she sounded like she didn't feel very valued. I couldn't leave it at that, right?

[echoing_sutras]

That is a good point...

One thousand!

[primordialbeat]

[AND THEN SHE SMIRKS AT KYOUKO.]

Wow. Now you really sound like you want the date.

Musician group date?

[echoing_sutras]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[primordialbeat]

Alright. We'll do that then.
