date auction! forward dated to Wednesday lunch

[wrnpcs]

[The quad's all set up for the date auction! A handsome-looking blonde guy - one of the native cadets on the GFC - is center stage with the list and a mic, auctionees (and Headmaster Cid, sipping on a drink supervising) ready behind him. (Alas, Pinkie is out campaigning or something, and Mikuru is doing some last minute work elsewhere and doesn't like the stage anyway.)

[He flashes a smile.] Gooooood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else! I'm Russell Drake from the Garden Festival Committee, and I'd like to welcome you all to the GFC's second charity date auction! Once again all proceeds will be going towards the Centra orphanage, so please be generous with your bids! Bids start at 1 gil and we do not take rain checks or IOUs!

We have a fantastic bunch of volunteers for your dating pleasure today, so without further ado, let's get started!

Each person has their own thread. Please put your bids in the subject lines so people can see them! Threads collapse after fifty comments, so using the subject lines will make the bids easier to see.

Bids close and winners will be posted on Friday before the carnival post goes up. IC-ly, the winners will be announced Wednesday afternoon.

If you missed signups, PM wrmods and we'll squeeze them in as an IC "saw the auction on the day, hopped onstage and harassed the GFC to auction them off" auction. Just characters who would willingly sign up at this point, please!

[Doing this for the kids, doing this for the kids, doing this-- oh my gods I can already feel the warmth in my cheeks! Stay calm Ronnie you can do this....! Why did he have to compliment her, now she's all red faced!]

100 gil

[Zak, actually, isn't trolling. If he's the only bid, which he doubts, he'll put his gil where his mouth is. He doesn't expect to be. Though if it happens that way he's REALLY going to side-eye the rest of the single menfolk, native or otherwise, at Balamb.

Seriously, guys, what's wrong with you? Green or no, Ronnae's smokin'. He raises a hand.]

100 gil, eyep.

250

[So Mikuru's mostly just here eyeballing the stage for the measurements of the talent quest decor, but she does hear that particular bid.

[Oh.

[Well, Miss Asahina, you snooze, you lose.]

[She appreciates the gesture guys! She does, but she already know she didn't have much going for her considering recent events! And besides, she knows better!]
