Date Auction Mingle

[child_of_luv]

Who: Everyone who wants in!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: MINGLE TIME, Iskaulit Lecture Hall
When: The day before drift starts

=====

[With help from other Fleeters, Minako had coordinated the lecture hall being decorated into an auditorium for their auction. It was done up somewhat cheesy, like a 90's high school prom, with hearts and cute things... streamers, balloons... anything she could find on the planet below to make it work.

She also managed to order a buffet of hors d'oeuvres and finger foods (nothing super fancy) for people to snack on, and there were drinks. There wasn't specifically punch, but there wasn't anything alcoholic being supplied, so that would have to be brought in by others. She's a minor!

Before the auction itself starts, but once everyone's there, Minako steps up on the stage to address everyone.]

I want to thank everyone for participating tonight. It's a great showing of people and I know we'll be able to use the supplies we'll be getting during the next drift. I hope everyone has a good time tonight, and I definitely hope you all have wonderful dates.

Now... let the auction begin!

[She'd step to the side, and then introduce each person as they came out for their bidding.

Afterwards, she thanked everyone again, wished them all luck on their dates, and told them to enjoy the rest of the night!]

{OOC: Each of the characters being sold has a top level for the bidding portion. The winners that were rolled are in the subjects. Feel free to make your own top levels like a typical mingle if you want to do more than just the bidding. Also, you can go hog-wild bidding in each of the individual top levels, but the winners have already been picked for some of them. Those who didn't get an RNG pairing (sorry, we had less buyers than people sold) are open to having fun with bidding and you can determine who wins. Just because you're not the winner of a person doesn't mean you can't play out a bidding war if you want to! Have fun!}

Comments

Noctis Caelum - winner: Sara Lance

[child_of_luv]

[Apparently, Mikumo had some fun signing up people against their will! But, Minako was glad they were still able to come and were willing to participate anyway.

Congrats to Sara for the winning bid!]

[Noctis is engaged? And his fiancée is somewhere in the fleet (maybe here right now), you're welcome to fight her for him.

Or not, he's been on platonic 'dates' before.

That said, he's really not entirely sure what's going on, just that he was told he was signed up for the auction (but not by who) and directed to the stage.

He's not used to this kind of thing at all, but at least he's up on the stage just looking incredibly confused and panicking internally. Save him.]

Veronica - winner: Lord Akeldama

[child_of_luv]

[Congrats to Akeldama for the winning bid!]

Rose - winner: Ulaz

[child_of_luv]

[Minako was a little surprised at the serious looking giant purple alien participating, but okay!

Congrats to Ulaz for the winning bid!]

Peter Parker - winner: Minako Aino

[child_of_luv]

[Sure, he was dorky, but Minako felt like he seemed like he could be fun, too.

She won the bid for Pete!]

[child_of_luv]

[Minako decided to make things interesting, and, since Peter was close enough to her in age, she started bidding!]

[canofmanji]

[You know who had no idea he was up to be bid on? Manji. He had come because he thought it would be a laugh. A bit of fun to pass the time. He didn't care about the fundraising or even the bidding. What kind of idiot would put them up to be bid on?

Wait name was that his name?]

What the hell?

[Feel free to mock this gruff, angry looking scarred up samurai.]

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

[Manji will hear a snort from beside him as Tim tries to cover up his immediate reaction to seeing Manji's name up for bidding, which is to laugh.]

Why did you put yourself up for bid?!

[canofmanji]

I DIDN'T! Why the fuck are they calling my name?!

[Angry snarling samurai is angry and snarling. Surely he'll get a bid or two, right?]

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

[This response causes Tim to bend over in laughter. He's holding his side and stomach as if laughing hurts but he doesn't stop the almost silent wheezing laughter that comes out of him]

Oh god, wait? what do you get if you win? Slave for a day?

[canofmanji]

Not fricken' likely! [He snarls and now fully turns towards Tim.] And don't you get any stupid idea.

[child_of_luv]

Oh, look! You're on the list after all!

[Minako positively beams at him.]

Thank you so much!

[canofmanji]

What the fuck are you thanking me for!? I didn't put my name on this thing! [Manji be nice and stop trying to crush people's joy.]

[child_of_luv]

Well, someone did!

[Minako smiled.]

Still, it's for a good cause! There are things we may need that hunting and gathering just won't supply!

Keith - winner: Lance

[child_of_luv]

[Aww... Minako loves that Lance was so enthusiastic about winning his boyfriend!

Congrats to Lance for the winning bid!]

[tempredmental]

[To say that Keith wasn't freaked out that someone had put him on the list would have been a massive lie. Help this awkward boy get through this?]

OTA

[Minako was actually pretty proud of herself for pulling this off. She remembered Rei doing a festival once back home for her school, and having gone to it. Sure, it turned into a Senshi battle thing, but Minako had a feeling that wasn't going to happen here. And, even if it did, she didn't have her transformation pen... something she'd been avoiding thinking about.

Either way, she was super happy things ended up working out nicely. She could be founding mingling with everyone once the auction was finished, snacking on food, and enjoying a nice non-alcoholic drink.]
