Thespians for Sale! (Date Auction)
Who: The Union Divine Theater, volunteers, and YOU(r money)!
What: Date Auction/Raffle for fundraising
When: September 3
Where: Union Divine Theater
Warnings: Excessive fabulousness.
Almost there! It had taken them the better part of a year, but the Union Divine Theater had nearly been restored in the aftermath of Kyurem’s attack. As a historic monument, they had to be careful to only use period-appropriate building materials, and employed only the finest craftsmen. But now they’re nearly ready for business again.
So of course, they’re holding a fundraiser. And, of course, it’s a date auction.
Not just any date auction, though! The courtyard has been taken up with several small tables, behind which each thespian being raffled off is seated. Interested bidders are welcome to chat with the “prizes” or to check out the long line of tables across from the auction decorated with several super-classy glass jars. Each jar has a person’s name on it, and a small watercolor picture of the person in question next to it. These individuals have volunteered (or been volunteered) to serve as extra dates - just buy a ticket from the Slowking and the Wooper at the end of the tables and you can enter to win!
Small placards scattered throughout the event specify that all “prizes” must be 18 years or over, and that all dates must be family-friendly. All “prizes” also have the option, if they desire, of specifying which gender of date they prefer. Additionally, while the humans mingle, their Pokémon are encouraged to chat with the Nidoking who’s waiting just inside the theater. He’s giving tours of the stage area complete with the option of putting on a production! Be sure to tell your Trainers to buy tickets to the Theater’s next show!
The event will run all day, with bidding starting at $25 (Union currency). Are you ready to make a new friend??
[[ OOC: The date raffle and auction is live! Please follow the instructions beneath each top-level below. Each character being auctioned will have their own auction thread, where all bids go for that character - threadjacking is encouraged, and a mingle thread where people can talk to that character. Each character being raffled has their own section for people to note they’ve put in a ticket, but these can all be replies to the top-level. Each character being raffled also has their own spot for mingling. OOCly, results for the auctions and raffles will be announced in about a week.
Pokémon interested in performing on stage can leave top-level comments in the section at the bottom of the post. Their scene partner tags in with a result from the RP Scenario Generator: this is the scene the two Pokémon are encouraged to act out. An assortment of costume pieces, sets, and props are available. Break a leg! ]]

Re: MINGLE WITH MINAKO

Of course, this still involved figuring out a way to strike up conversation out of very little. So that was a work in progress too. Still, there wasn't anything to be afraid of... not like this girl was going to bite.
"Hey. How's it going over here for you?"
no subject
"Hi." Minako shrugged a little. "I guess it's going okay. I just can't help but being worried about what happens if no one enters the raffle for me." She blushed a little. "I just want the theatre to do well, you know?
"How's it been going for you?"
no subject
And looking over her; she was pretty, well-dressed, and friendly. She might be nervous about number of entries, but to him, the idea she'd get none at all would be absurd.
"And I wouldn't worry about no one entering your raffle. I'm sure plenty of people will, and I'd be shocked if no one did."
no subject
"Thanks." Minako tended to worry about these things a lot. For someone who was all about romance and love and matchmaking, she was completely unlucky with it. "I appreciate that."
She glanced around, mentally comparing her jar to others, even if that was totally silly, since the tickets never fell into the jars evenly, and then shrugged a little.
"That's probably a good way of doing it... not really thinking about it. Just focusing on being nice and helping the theatre." She nodded at him. "I'm Minako. It's very nice to meet you." Though, her name was on the little sign on the table.........
no subject
She might look a little amused, but maybe she just thinks the whole thing is ridiculous.

At least she sounds like she's joking.
"And really, I'm sure there's nothing to be nervous about."

She laughs quietly. "We would love to have you - though I'm not sure you'll feel that way after a few rehearsals."
Rehearsals may not help very much, what with all the ad-libbing involved.
