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! ]]

Thanks, I appreciate that! I'm actually excited to see how it turns out.

I'm Adell, by the way. ...I mean, you probably already knew that, what with the jar and all. But still. Nice to meet you.

I'm Pidge-- and it's nice meeting you, too. I'd put something in that jar for ya...but there's a reason they didn't let kids join in this. It'd be a little awkward for you...

And, you're probably as old as my older brother anyway.

[He shakes his head a little, but keeps his positive demeanor.]

Yeah, it probably would be awkward as a date, no offense. Though I don't mind just hanging out.

[Kinda like this, actually.]

Possibly. I've been 18 since April. But you have a brother, huh? I have two siblings myself. Both younger, one brother, one sister.
ramblingly: (energetic)

My brother's a little older then-- but this is close enough.

[No wonder it was so easy to talk to this guy. They both understood the nuances of familial relationships like this.]

But, I bet you probably don't need protected like he did. I swear-- he's too nice for his own good sometimes!
vulcanblazer: (Confident)

[He smiles at that.]

Nah, I'm usually the one doing all the protecting. My kid brother's a sweet kid, but he's kind of a wuss. He's been picked on a few times by kids back home and I had to step in.

[But he says it with an unmistakable affection. He loves his younger brother to pieces, but he did hope that with his main guardian gone that he became just a little more assertive.]

Don't have to worry about that with my kid sister, though. She's like 9 and she's already a firebrand. And a troublemaker.

[That earned a small laugh from the half-pint.]

Isn't that the job of every little sister? To be such fireballs that their big brothers can't handle them?

[She was teasing-- all the teasing!]

She's got that on Taro, but she doesn't have that on me yet. Hanako's still got a long way to go before she can out-maneuver her biggest brother.

But I'm not even her biggest obstacle. That'd be Mom. On top of just having that intuition about her kids, she's Psychic on top of it. She usually can head off Hanako before she gets into too much trouble.

Ah, yeah. Smart moms are definitely a good way to stop things in their tracks. Mine isn't Enlightened, but she's had to deal with Dad and my brother and I all getting in trouble one way or the other.

...I've gotta say, though, that I almost feel bad for your sister. Having a Psychic for a mom has gotta make it that much tougher.
