[CLOSED] DATE AUCTION

[suitsmyfancy]

Who: Anyone
What: People who signed up for the Date Auction as dates with be bid on by others as their dates of the day.
When: Day 36
Where: Draupnir Theater, Freyr District
Rating: PG-13

So there you were, doing whatever you normally do in a boring day like this: by chance was it reading a book? Talking to a friend? Exploring the shops in the district? It feels like nothing can go wrong in the meantime and you were off continuing your mundane life.

But that doesn’t matter, anyway – by the time you blinked, it looks like you were transported in the middle of the stage with bright lights blinding your field of vision. The only thing that you’re able to make out is the chatter of a very loud audience and someone announcing your name. And if you happen to look down, you would see a name tag attached to whatever you were wearing with the following:

NAME:
AGE:
SEX:
ORIENTATION (optional):
BLURB ABOUT YOURSELF:

Question is, do you remember writing all of this down?

((OOC: AUCTIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

All right folks, here’s the date auction! Please note that the announcer for this event is Rikku and Tidus, who will announce the people being auctioned off and the starting price - these will be the under PARTICIPANTS with the character's names in the subject, along with the fill out form in the body in the sign ups. Remember, characters bidding are paying with chocolates they receive from Valentines day and that the auction ends after Feb 14 2:00 PM CST OOcly. Happy bidding everyone!

Edit: People have been asking, and yes, people getting auctioned off can bid on others as long as it's not themselves!))

Do I hear more than twenty?

[thismustbelove]

How about 35?

35

[disasterrific]

Thirty-five! Do I hear forty?

[yingyangmoo]

Hmm... Zen likes chocolates? Is 40 enough for the window?

[poisonfeathers]

[Blinking. What even.] Since when did you get here, you damned brat?

[yingyangmoo]

[Looks off to one side.] I wonder when it was. 20 minutes ago.

Are you in the middle of a performance? [Well... there is the stage.]

40

[disasterrific]

Forty'll work! Anymore bidders?

[thismustbelove]

I suppose I'll bid forty-nine, then.

49

[disasterrific]

Forty-nine! Do I hear fifty?

[webbedhands]

You really want Zen that much?

[thismustbelove]

I could ask the same of you. He's not particularly friendly, is he?

[webbedhands]

He's a friend.

And I was using his chocolates anyway.

[thismustbelove]

What a coincidence, then! He's a friend of mine as well, even if he won't admit it. You should ask him.

[webbedhands]

Sure. I could ask if you give me a name.

[poisonfeathers]

What kinda performer do you think I am if I'm in a damned auction?

[yingyangmoo]

[Are you sure you want to ask that? He looks like he's giving it some thought. Finally, he turns back to Zen.]

Furniture. Playing the role of furniture, but what kind?

[poisonfeathers]

[...]

What kind of answer is that?!

[yingyangmoo]

Ah, then how did you decide to participate?

[poisonfeathers]

As if I'll join something this stupid on my own! I got dragged into it.

[yingyangmoo]

[...]

You're up there. [It doesn't look like anyone is restraining him either.]

[poisonfeathers]

I'm stuck here. [Unfortunately, the principle of the thing does.]

[yingyangmoo]

[You can tell from the look he's giving you how much he believes that.]

Ah....

[webbedhands]

Darn. Forty's all I had.

[yingyangmoo]

[If he's nearby, Haru gives him a chocolate. He has a full bag and isn't going to eat them.

He either doesn't understand this process or doesn't care about winning. Wonder which it is.]

[webbedhands]

[....Welp. Kappa's not the type to look a gift horse in the mouth. Especially not when Zen promised cucumbers.]

Thanks.
