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, definitely! In addition to being a great place for people to come and be entertained, and a place to employ all the people who work here, it's also a historic building in Union! And it's important to preserve what we can of the past.

[ Oh ho? Before Veronica can reply, the Noibat who'd been hanging out on the raffle jar lifts off and flaps over to examine Minako. You sound very knowledgeable! That's rare. ] Noi noiiii....

Are there any other landmarks you'd recommend to newcomers?

Hm?

[Minako looked up at the hovering Noibat, a little surprised at its approach.]

A few. There's an entire buried city under Union from The Savior's time. Most of it's been opened up and revealed now. I think the rarer artifacts are in one of the museums. I'd be careful down there, though. No one's really set it up for casual exploring. You should be prepared for some physicality to the trip if you decide to go. I've been down there a few times to train and whatnot.

[ This Noibat looks like Salvation just came early. She turns on Veronica, eyes alight. Hey! Veronica! Can they, can they....

Her Trainer resigns herself with grace. This is what she gets for striking a bond agreement that included the sentiment "take me out to play". ]
I think we can handle it.

[ Swords of the Savior, and all. Now. Does she know you from somewhere? She can't shake that feeling, so she's looking at Minako with more interest. ] The recommendation's appreciated.

[She nodded, pretending she wouldn't know why they'd be able to handle things down there on their own.]

Well, if you need a guide, I'm willing to help.

[Totally innocent smile! Though, the extra scrutiny doesn't go completely unnoticed. Time to make a gracious exit.]

I should head back to my table. I'll see you soon. Good luck today!

[And she turned to head off!]

Same to you. [ An abrupt exit. Strange.

Minako may catch Veronica casting a glance or two her way for the remainder of the event. ]
