[BBS | ACTION] Date Auction

[eggplantallergy]

[Gakupo must be getting better at video entries, because here comes another one! He's holding a notebook, as usual, and smiling.]

Greetings! This is your GFC leader with a new flash! We will be holding a Date Auction the weekend before Homecoming! So that's about a week from now! Various members of our student body, and maybe even some instructors, will be auctioned off for dates! All proceeds will go towards the Centra Orphanage!

For those of you interested in being auctioned off, please drop off your name on a piece of paper at the table in the quad. One submission per person, please! There will be GFC members with a box to submit names! For those of you interested in getting a great date, then save up your money!

[He looks seriously into the camera, a kind of dark shadow over his face.] It is discouraged for one to put in their friend's name into the box without their expressed permission. [He's not outright saying not to do it, though.]

Please come out and support the GFC with this event! [Back to smiling] The more participation, the better we can make this year's Homecoming events! [Fist pump! C'mon guys! Get excited!] If you have any questions, feel free to leave them on this post!

[Checks his notebook and nods firmly.] Yep, I think that's it! [Closes it and looks to the lens.] Have a great day, everyone! Until next time! [Leans forward to turn off the camera.

[Coming over, curious]

So, what's a date auction?

[eggplantallergy]

[Pauses in his studying and looks to her.] Oh! It's where you bid for a date with the person being auctioned off!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

A date for homecoming?

[eggplantallergy]

Um...if it leads to that, then that's entirely up to both parties.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I heard some other people talk about it, so I was just asking. I don't even know when this thing is, so...

You said the money's going to an orphanage?

[eggplantallergy]

It's perfectly alright to inquire!

Yep! An orphanage in Centra.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Centra? [Headtilt]

[eggplantallergy]

It's another place in this world.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Oooh. [A beat] And what's a GFC or whatever you said you were with?

[eggplantallergy]

The Garden Festival Committee is responsible for most events held here in Garden!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool!

[Rikku thinks for a moment, before getting a slip and writing her name on it]

What the heck, this sounds fun and the money's going to a good cause. Though, uh, what happens if someone doesn't get any bets?

[eggplantallergy]

Oh, that's a rather good question! Well...then you won't get a date? I'd feel pretty guilty if no one bets on you...

[Crosses his arms in thought] I have to think that over.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can find someone who'll offer to go on a date for anyone who might not get any bets, or give them some sorta voucher for a free dinner or something.

[And in goes her name! Warning: it's very tribal looking, but still legible]

[eggplantallergy]

That's a good idea. A sort of consolation prize. Maybe I can offer that...

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Or a cake! Everyone loves cake!

[eggplantallergy]

Wow, you have really great ideas! [Pauses] Would you like to join the GFC?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Grinning]

Sure! I kind of love planning parties and having fun and stuff like that. Where do I sign up?

[eggplantallergy]

Fantastic! I'll take down your name and add it to the roster! [Takes out the notebook he used in the video.] May I have your name?

so is there an ooc thing I should go comment on?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Rikku! R-I-K-K-U.

*points to comment*

[eggplantallergy]

[Jots down the name so he can add it to the roster.] Thank you, Rikku! I'm Gakupo, the leader for GFC.
