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 ]]

[Sun is seated at one of the tables. He's got an entire fruit bouquet sitting in front of him and he's picking various pieces off and tossing them into his mouth. He plans to eat the entire thing, and maybe another if he's feeling up to it.

He has a drink, but it's currently being held up beside him shoulder length by his tail. Occasionally heel use his tail to bring his drink to his mouth so he can take a sip.]

Eli was in her room, sulking. Usually the 14th was a day when all her friends who didn't have boyfriends got together to lovingly gripe about the ones who did, while they watched chick flicks and ate ice cream.

She had sent her clone out, because someone had wanted the night off at the part time job she sent a clone to, and there was no reason for her to not pick up the shift. She had hoped the person would be grateful enough to ask her to hang out sometime, but nope. So sulking.

The clone saw Sun and walked over, smiling. "Hi! You're that guy Eli got all embarrassed about and fell on her butt over!" Which meant this wasn't the clone that had spoken to him in District X. And... it was a pretty good guess that Eli had no clue that the clone had spilled the beans.

"Okay, time to go buy Eli some friends! She needs them!" She happily turned and skipped off. Usually Eli unmade her once the shift was over, but she had gotten out early, and Eli wasn't paying attention.
