[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.


Gakupo stands in the quad with a box on a table, studying for that language class.]

(frozen comment) THE BOX

[eggplantallergy]

[Submitted names go here! For organization/my sanity!]

[You know what are awesome?]

[Bugs.]

[You know what is even better?]

[Bugs in small dark places.]

[Guess who might be keeping eyes on this special box, eyes all around, in well, insect form, and whenever a good moment passes by, guess what crawls its way into the box? Oh yes, bugs, mostly spiders, things that bite.]

[Wonder how many get in before anyone notices.]

[eggplantallergy]

[Oblivious to the bugs. Ew, bugs. Turns a page.]

[martin-sorvat.livejournal.com]

[Awesome, there will be a very large amount then, also, let's hope they don't eat away anything inside.]

[eggplantallergy]

[Notices some skittering noises and looks up, glancing around in confusion before his eyes fall on the box. The noise is coming from inside. Blue eyes widen in fear as he ever...so...slowly, stood up.

...he knows that sounds. Oh good grief NO.

Casts a Stop spell into the hole at the top of the box, hopefully affecting all those little critters inside. He's not even going to peek in there.]

....whatshouldIdo?! [HYPERVENTILATES. Why bugs?! One is tolerable, but that many?!] I should get another box...

Well, it's not really 'selling' people, but paying for that person's time for a good cause! That may not sound any better, but please don't think of it as selling people like slaves. It's not like that at all!

[Hey, a spider, just going to swing down from the ceiling and hopefully make a landing on your nose.]

[eggplantallergy]

[Sees the spider and flicks it away. SIGHS. Luckily, there isn't anything in the box yet, so he'll just...leave to get a new one without holes. Where are all these bugs coming from?!]

It's voluntary. It can be fun to meet new people.

If you cannot tolerate the other person at all, we'll give them back their money and you can leave. It would be a shame to do so, but not at the expense of another person feeling uncomfortable.

[ Annnnnnd Jade's ninja'ing the name 'David Lalonde' into that box. For everyone's sanity. ]

[supbroski.livejournal.com]

[ So stoked. The people working the booth might actually see her smile as she pulls the greatest prank known to man. ]

[David's ninjaing in two names, on two perfectly flush-stacked slips of paper written in different styles: "Jade Strider" and "Rose Lalonde".

For glory.

Or something.

Light powers are awesome.]

[tortileghostwriter]

[And if Gakupo's working the booth, he might see a boy who looks remarkably like Rose--down to the unusual eye color, even--suddenly standing a few feet away. Smirking a little bit.]

[If only he was paying attention. Oh you darn kids and your pranks!

Looks up to see her submitting a name.] Thank you for your contribution!

[eggplantallergy]

[Goes to look in his backpack for a pen before spotting a familiar looking figure. He blinks because while it looks incredibly like Rose, it...somehow isn't.]

[Oh what the heck. Rikku slips in her name in (after figuring out what a date auction is). Seems like a good way to meet people!]

before she submits her name [action]

[Coming over, curious]

So, what's a date auction?

[ BBS ]

[eggplantallergy]

That is up to you, actually! It's a sort of bidding war. The highest bid wins.

[eggplantallergy]

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