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!}

[Tim rolls his eyes again] You can't actually be allergic to fun. It's just you seem to actively try and not have fun though or play devil's advocate when others are having fun.

And how do you not have time for fun? All we have on this damn drift is time. I've never been so bored and restless in my life.

[Tim actually seems to try and fill his time up with something. Manji has never caught him outside of their first meeting doing absolutely nothing and yet he's bored.]

[canofmanji]

Too busy living. Finding a way off this crap fleet. [Don't ask him how.] I make myself useful. Cleaning my weapons. Learning more about these ships. And lots of other stuff. [It's mostly those two things.]

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Is that all that is keeping you busy? and how goes that progress on getting off this fleet?

[Tim looks sceptical about how much time cleaning his weapons and wander -ahem- he means learning about these ships could take]

I think you just don't know how to have fun.

[canofmanji]

Bah. [Manji waves a hand in front of his face. Deciding not to bother answering Tim's first lot of questions. As his progress is going no where.] I'm too old for fun anyway.
