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 ]]

Um... I don't want anybody to break up because of this! Really!

[soundandfurry]

Okay, WHAT is everyone talking about?!

[youcouldbemine]

If you're already with somebody, why are you bidding on me???

[NO. WAIT.]

It... it's not a threesome is it?

[soundandfurry]

I'm not with anybody!!! Why is everyone talking about that stuff?!

[eileaneathompson]

And once again, the cheerful Eli clone bounded over to an auction group. "Eli needs more female friends so she'll stop crying all the time. One thousand!" and she happily bounced off to place her next bid.

[soundandfurry]

... Well now I'll feel bad if I go any higher.

[eileaneathompson]

The clone gave her an impulse hug when she came back. "Don't feel bad!" she insisted. Something... odd was happening. She was getting... well... emotionally and mentally the clone seemed to be getting younger and younger...

[soundandfurry]

Stop hugging me! -Kagerou panicked, pushing the clone away.-

[eileaneathompson]

She let her go and stepped back, eyes wide and brimming with tears, confused. "What did I do wrong?"

[soundandfurry]

Don't touch people you don't know like that, it's creepy and weird!

[eileaneathompson]

"I thought that was how you tell people you want to cheer them up, or to thank them..." she said. "I just wanted you to feel better..."

[knowitallgoddess]

It's okay, Eli! We can go on a date together! I don't mind hugging you either.

One thousand, one hundred, by the way.

[eileaneathompson]

"I'm Eli's clone, not Eli," she explained. "She used to remember to tell us not to say that. She;s in Room five, third floor, girls' dorm, if you want to hang out with her!"

She tilted her head, thinking. "Oh! and Two Thousand!"

[knowitallgoddess]

Can you let her know I'll be visiting soon. And two thousand and one.

[eileaneathompson]

"Three thousand," she said happily. Then she smiled at the green haired girl. "I'm hoping to be dead before I could report in," she said cheerfully.

[soundandfurry]

Why would you be hoping to be dead?!

I don't feel bad anymore, you're just as weird as Palu!

I bid five thousand!

[knowitallgoddess]

I'm not weird. I'm just a loving person. Five-Zero-Zero-One.

[soundandfurry]

Then why do you keep bidding only one over! And you were talking about Kaguya and me and I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ANYmORE!

[knowitallgoddess]

You really need to learn to spend some time on Ebay. It's how you properly win these things.

[eileaneathompson]

"Six thousand!" She has lost all track of the point by now.

"I'm a clone," she said with a smile and a shrug. "I was created for a use. Eli doesn't absorb the ones who go to work, so I'm going to be unmade any time now. I'd rather it be before she found out what I've been doing. She gets embarrassed, which she shouldn't and that makes it harder for her to make friends. She needs to be more open," she said, nodding sagely.

[soundandfurry]

That's not the same as dying!

[eileaneathompson]

"Isn't dying ceasing to live?" she asked.

[soundandfurry]

If you're just a copy, you're not really alive in the first place. -Kagerou... doesn't stop to think how cruel that sounds.-

[eileaneathompson]

"Wasn't a hand alive when it was part of a person?" She asked. Okay, that example brings up all sorts of disgusting mental imagery. Thanks, clone girl.

[soundandfurry]

A hand's not a copy!

Also, six thousand and one! -See, Palutena? She listened. A little bit.-
