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! ]]

Oh! Are you an Ice-type too?
no subject
[ She holds the temperature at a cold enough level to hopefully make things more comfortable for someone in a parka, but not cold enough for that cloud forming overhead to pose a threat. Veronica holds a hand up to catch the single hailstone that falls, though. ] It's a type of Frostborn. What Union calls Enlightened.
[ The ice melts rather quickly in her hand. ] Makes the winters manageable.
no subject
Oh! You can control the weather then? That's...probably really useful in Glacier, yes. I can see that.
[She already has a pen out, taking some notes.]
Can you create other kinds of weather phenomenon? And are they all so localized?
no subject
[ Sudden note-taking, you see. She doesn't mind, she's just not used to this much interest. (The fire was always a bigger deal back in Glacier, but she knew coming to Union it wouldn't be as rare here.)
Another hailstone falls. Nemesis intercepts it, batting it (hah) aside. ]
no subject
[Absently, she reaches out and catches a hailstone, studying it with her free hand before giving it a quick lick.]
I study weather patterns and climate change.
no subject
Veronica eases up on the temperature enough to hopefully prevent either of them from being bopped on the head with hail. ] We're called "Children of the Ever-Changing Skies." In my experience, everyone so blessed can generate two types of weather.
The radius... [ A pause, remembering things back home. ] Varies.
no subject
[That's got her interest.]
Are some able to vary the radius beyond their own personal space?
no subject
the battle animationthe opponent, should there be one. ] I suggest a trip north if you're curious.[ This isn't exactly somewhere she can demonstrate - not being the demonstrative type anyway, despite her attempt to make the other woman more physically comfortable - and besides, there's more people to observe. ]
no subject
[Mei is positively bursting with excitement.]
Soon. I'll have to figure out this...ah...date business first though.

Best of luck to you. I look forward to talking more with you another time.
