Date auction, homecoming carnival, and talent quest signups! (first part is BBS video)

[wrnpcs]

[So, fun fact: One of those three girls? Is actually on the GFC. The youngest-looking one, who hasn't done the field exam yet. She's got a smirk smile on for this BBS video broadcast, which Mikuru's asked her to do for the GFC.]

Hey, Garden! This is Zainah from the Garden Festival Committee with some exciting announcements for Homecoming.

Once again, we'll be running a date auction in the quad on Wednesday at lunchtime. [This will be forward-dated by a day to allow for bids to taper off in time for the carnival.] Members of the student body and staff will be auctioned off for dates, with proceeds going to the Centra Orphanage. Signups will be held in the cafeteria until Tuesday. If you want a hot date for Homecoming, save up your money!

The GFC will also be holding signups for carnival booths until Thursday, including but not limited to the dunk tank, the kissing booth, the food booths, and a talent quest. [Her smile becomes a little forced.] At the food booths, you're... encouraged to share the food of your home... lands! [There, "homelands" could be talking to the natives from other countries! Y'ALL OFF-WORLDERS WILL PROBABLY POISON US ALL.] As for the talent quest, you'll perform at the carnival, and the winners, as judged by Headmaster Cid and Commander Zabala, will get to perform at homecoming.

As with the host and hostess clubs this last Valentine's Day, we'll be asking for your Garden ID for all date auction, booth, and talent quest signups. Blame your friends who signed you up for stuff you didn't want to do last year.

And remember to vote for Zakari Aetherun for Homecoming Prince!

[Yeah, that was a distinct lack of explicit snide comments about off-worlders... This is to natives as well! And Zainah takes the GFC seriously.

[Through the week, GFC members man a table with a large sign: SIGN UPS FOR HOMECOMING EVENTS! Cadets are taking volunteers for the date auction, the dunk tank, the kissing booth, the food booths, the talent quest, and other booths, carding people to check they're who they say they are. (Of course, things could get hectic and the kids could get too distracted to check IDs...) Food booth volunteers are also asked to provide the kind of food they'll be contributing, or may sign up to sell cotton candy, snow cones, and/or funnel cake (machinery, ingredients, and a quick tutorial will be provided); talent quest entrants are asked their talent.

[Date auction signups will close on Monday, with the auction being posted on Tuesday and occurring IC-ly on Wednesday; winners will be posted on Friday before the carnival post goes up. We realize this is very short notice and very tight scheduling, so if you miss out on the signups, just drop us a PM and we can slot them in as an IC last minute signup.

[Carnival booth and talent quest signups will be gathered on Thursday afternoon and booth volunteers will be informed of their shift time Thursday evening. This will be a handwaved thing, but they will definitely have time to enjoy the carnival instead of being stuck behind a booth the whole time.

[If you have any suggestions for other booths that require volunteer signups, comment here!]

[The name Rainbow Dash goes straight into the signups.]

[Why? Well, sure, she's cool and anyone would want to date her, and pay a BOATLOAD of Gil for it...]

[But maybe it has something to do with the second signup she sneaks ion when no one is looking, that of Edward Elric.]

Go ahead and throw Roy into this, cause it amuses me

[9tailedtemptress]

Willing sign up whenever she's not in the kissing booth... if that's even possible!

(frozen comment) Re: DATE AUCTION SIGNUPS

[wrnpcs]

The date auction is being held on a different day to the kissing booth and the actual dates are only suggested to be for homecoming. Doing both is totally possible!

(frozen comment) Re: DATE AUCTION SIGNUPS

[9tailedtemptress]

Awesome! \o/ Then Ahri would be in both!

(frozen comment)

[senseofjustice]

[As a good old time prank, the hard working student decides to sign up Damian.]

Re: KISSING BOOTH SIGNUPS

[alwaysanarcher]

[Willingly signing up! It'll be fun, and in the worst-case scenario, she can just report the creep to DiscComm.]

[9tailedtemptress]

[A chance to kiss, flirt and feed? Ahri can't pass on this opportunity. ]

[tortileghostwriter]

[ever-so-surreptitiously signing Rose up for this.

The game of one-upmanship never ends.]

FOOD BOOTH SIGNUPS

[wrnpcs]

Let us know what your character will be making! Characters may also sign up to sell cotton candy, snow cones, and/or funnel cake (machinery, ingredients, and a quick tutorial will be provided for this).

Re: FOOD BOOTH SIGNUPS

[combustible_me]

Just makin' the best flame-seared beef on a stick you ever tasted!

[incinerare]

I could see about arranging for the man to try cooking something Xingese. re: basically chinese dishes Can also include desserts from Amestris, apple pies, sundaes, etc.

He may need help though with possibly keeping up with it all.. if Pinkie would like to help him with that and learn new dishes, that would/could be fun.

Re: FOOD BOOTH SIGNUPS

[manslut]

Reno can, uh, try to make some things he picked up from Wutai way back when. Which is more or less a combination of Japanese and Chinese food (heck, they had sushi in the game, if I remember right) and possibly some more... questionable drinks that are only allowed near the adult crowd. >>

There'd probably also be attempts at Midgar-styled pizza and sandwiches which might contain chocobo meat. :|a

TALENT QUEST SIGNUPS

Tell us your talent!

[werepanther]

Traditional carnival booth! Tom's especially fond of the "toss the ring onto the bottle" game, but he'd also be up for bumper cars.
