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 ]]

Gregory smiled and gave them a dramatic bow. "If nothing else, what you do know is that you have people who really care for you. Enjoy your date, and have a wonderful time."

With that, he grinned, and turned to head off, waving his walking stick as a goodbye... and fell flat on his face. "Right. I need that to stand," he said from the ground. "S'what I get for biding so low," he quipped.

The clone skipped her way here next. "A thousand? Eli needs lots and lots of female friends, so she'll stop crying all the time! TWO THOUSAND!"


Eli didn't pay this event much attention, so if limits were ever mentioned... the clone would have no way of knowing. Someone should stop her... soon.

[soundandfurry]

Wow, that's... pretty sad, actually.

... Who is Eli?

[eternalprincess]

[Kaguya gave both this girl (where did she even come from?) and Kagerou a confused stare.]

...I have no idea.

[eileaneathompson]

"Eli is..." the clone tilted its head and stood there a while as if turned off. Trying to figure out how to answer that temporarily killed the thing. Finally it blinked and looked at them again. "I am Eli's clone!" she finally said chipperly. That was the best answer she could figure out. "Do you want to be Eli's friends?" she considered. "You probably shouldn't tell her I told you, though."

[soundandfurry]

I don't know what a clone is! This is weird again!

[eileaneathompson]

"A clone is...a clone. Like... a copy," she said, thinking.

[eternalprincess]

Kaguya had recovered after a moment, and so she decided to deliver a coup de grâce, a bid no one could match...

"One hundred million!"

Re: lol keywords

[eileaneathompson]

The clone looked at her. "Is that a lot?" It sure seemed like a lot. Something actually stopped her from going further. She bit her lip, unsure.

[soundandfurry]

That's a good question...

[diamonds_forever]

[Meanwhile, Emma spits out her drink.]

What?!

[eternalprincess]

[Just... laughing at that reaction, holy shit.] It's a lot, yes... More than most will see in their lifetime.

[knowitallgoddess]

If I bid a thousand and one hundred in real money that's not yours, can I win it?

[diamonds_forever]

What in the world is wrong with you girls?

[knowitallgoddess]

I don't spend a lot of money and my parents allot me a pretty big allowance.

In short, I'm frugal, even if this bid doesn't look like it. But I've got a plan in mind!

[diamonds_forever]

As far as I'm concerned, you're both insane.

I have half a mind to disqualify all of you.

[eternalprincess]

Maybe giving us free bank wasn't such a good idea? [Snicker.]

Don't be drastic, now...

[knowitallgoddess]

Retract your bid and you won't regret it. I promise!

[diamonds_forever]

Don't talk to me about drastic when you suddenly drop that much money on a date auction.

How about we adjust that to one hundred thousand, and just declare you the winner. The three of you can work your issues out after that.

Ms. Eli? I'm pretty sure you got three friends out of this anyways.

[eternalprincess]

[She made her point, but makes a show of acting put out.]

I suppose I can live with that.

[soundandfurry]

...




What just happened?!

[eternalprincess]

I got a bit carried away.

[She gently pats Kagerou.]

[soundandfurry]

-Kagerou flinched away from the touch, shaking her head. She didn't know what was going on, on top of feeling crowded and all that pressure and...

She turned to leave, heading straight for the door. She was in wolf form before she completely left the premises, bounding into the nearby woods.-
