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 ]]

[Just as she is about to eat the cake off of her fork, the cake flies off and over to the approaching Kaito and he floats it into his mouth and chews and eats it before sitting down across from her.] That was pretty good.

[gloriousandfree]

Of course it was. That's why I've been eating it. There are plenty of other cakes.

[She rolls her eyes at him and waves the fork with a vague sort of menace. It is not very convincing at all.]

[vulgarcrocodile]

Are you threatening me with the fork because you plan to bite me next?

[gloriousandfree]

...Yes. That's exactly why.

[She takes another bite of her cake and glares at him to make sure it actually makes it into her mouth this time]

[vulgarcrocodile]

Not need to give me such a nasty look. [He uses his telekinesis to slice a small piece of her and then he floats it up to Maddie's mouth.]

[gloriousandfree]

[ She raises her eyebrows but smiles and eats the piece delicately]

Do you know how often I can have cake this delicious? Let me wallow me in my nostalgia for excellent parties.

[vulgarcrocodile]

But it is much more fun to steal it from you. [He cuts a piece again and floats it up to her.]

[gloriousandfree]

I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself.

[She opens her mouth and waits patiently. If your fiancee is going to telekinetically feed you, you might as well just sit and enjoy it]

[vulgarcrocodile]

[He guides it into her mouth.]

So are you going to bid on anyone for charity?

[gloriousandfree]

[She raises an eyebrow but waits until she's done to speak]

If I wasn't, I think I would have snuck out ages ago. Logan's going up to bat and someone has to mess with him.

[vulgarcrocodile]

Well I suppose there is no one better than another Canadian to do that.

But you would have snuck out? Really? We haven't even gotten to dance yet.

[gloriousandfree]

Hey I was going to sneak you out too. There was a plan. There was kissing in the snow and everything. I scrapped it because someone hasn't found any warming powers in the last couple months.

Shall I take this as a hint you want to dance?

[vulgarcrocodile]

I didn't know I was supposed to be on the look out for them. Are you trying to turn me into your personal heater? [Not like he would be against the idea.]

Only if you feel up to dancing.

[gloriousandfree]

Of course I am. What am I going to do if the power goes out?

[She stands and holds out her hand] Then let's dance, love.

[vulgarcrocodile]

Snuggle up close to me for warmth, of course.

[He stands and takes her hand and leads her out there.]
