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! ]]

"And that would require someone even wanting a nice afternoon with me," outside of Rei and the occasional love letter from anonymous, Ami never had anyone interested in her in such a way. Not that she cared, Rei was all she needed and wanted. She pressed her lips together.
"I'm not going to cheat, not with my partner, and not with school work."

"You know I did this with the best intentions. You need to loosen up if you're going to marry a politician. You'll be in the spotlight a lot more, and I know how shy you get. There are going to be people who want to get close to you in the future, and spend those afternoons with you. They'll be doing it to get closer to your wife, though. And I know, for a fact, you've never dated anyone else, or had any experience outside of your current relationship. You're brilliant, and that's why I want to see you get experience with strangers taking you out."
She folds up her raffle ticket and drops it into the bowl.
"And, if you're lucky," she grinned, seriousness vanishing, "You'll get to go out with me instead and I'll make it up to you."

"Well, then here is to hoping it is you," she sighed and Aurora merely shook her mane. "I'm surprised you did not somehow get signed up for this."
no subject
"Well I did have someone try, but I caught them in the act and explained how Merrill might not completely understand. You know how she is, and the last thing I want is to upset her."
She's had it rough, these last few months and she never was very good at Union customs. Better to just donate money and not take the risk of doing anything to further upset her partner.
"She's getting better though. Maybe next year we'll both sign up."
no subject
She smiled at the mention of Merrill.
"I'm glad she's adjusting better. Hopefully she'll at least get to see the fruit of our donations and attend a theater show. Rei gave her full support on the matter and knows she can step in if truly necessary."
no subject
She's fairly certain that the Hino Clan alone would foot that bill, just to make that fate unlikely.
"And I'm glad. She's been coming to the theater with me again, but it's slow going. After everything, I'm not pushing."
no subject
"Well, it won't be long before they put up a grand show as a 'we're finished rebuilding' show."

Yuuna don't you have to win a date first?
