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! ]]

...You were the one who signed me up?

[Just this face. He's not mad, really. But the sheer shamelessness of admitting to it so flippantly...]

Yeah. Good thing.

Guilty as charged! It seemed like something you'd have fun with.

[She nods. Proudly.]
vulcanblazer: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-05 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd argue, but I've already admitted that I've been having a good time. So unfortunately I have to concede that you have a point.

[Again, he's really not bothered. He's just playing it up.]

Once again, my brilliant schemes bear fruit!

Are you sure you don't moonlight as some evil Overlord of some kind of... I don't know? Netherworld, or something, in your spare time?

[Because diabolical scheming sounds like something they might do if they existed.]

Hell no! I'm positively angelic! Seraphic, even!
vulcanblazer: (Nonchalant)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course. My mistake. I just couldn't see your halo with all of that radiant, pure-pureness you keep giving off all the time. It's very distracting.

No one would ever need Flash to light up a cave with you around.

It's true! It's one of my better qualities. Maybe even one of my best! Pure, room-lighting goodness.

Maybe you should hand out sunglasses to whoever puts a ticket in your jar. Wouldn't want to blind any dates, would we?

[She starts laughing at that.]

I dunno! It'd kinda be a freebie. Those cost a bit!
vulcanblazer: (Heroic Smile)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Then maybe you need a warning label for the jar. "Prolonged exposure without protective eye wear may cause blindness."

Suuuure. I better get on that. Got a pen?
vulcanblazer: (Cocky!)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-10 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
As a matter of fact...

[He reached into the pouch kept at his back, and after a moment, pulled out an ink pen. Nothing terribly fancy; more akin to a cheap, disposable ink pen. It had the hallmark of being from Gigas, but it was a hell of a lot easier than carrying around the fancier pens that required inkwells.

He held it out to her, and had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face.]


I do.

[Oh no. She's been called on it. But... Rose can't argue. She takes the pen, grins, and writes on the jar: "SURGEON EEVEE'S WARNING: MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS DUE TO CONCENTRATED AMAZING."]

Good?

Definitely. Wouldn't want any trouble from the lawyers if accidents happened.

Now they're duly warned and you should be safe, right?
sparrowfeathered: (02)

[personal profile] sparrowfeathered 2016-09-10 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Seems totally legal to me. You should be a lawyer, Adell.
vulcanblazer: (Point!)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-10 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I should.

[He grins cheekily.]

All I gotta do is point at people and yell "Objection," right? I'm pretty good at that.
sparrowfeathered: (24)

[personal profile] sparrowfeathered 2016-09-10 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! That's two of the things a lawyer does!
vulcanblazer: (Nonchalant)

[personal profile] vulcanblazer 2016-09-10 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'd be one ace attorney in no time. I see no flaws whatsoever with this career advice, Rose.

I think you're covered, then!
