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!

Wha--?!

[But... look how quick she was to bid. Look at that huge grin on her face, even though she probably knows his opinion on this entire shebang better than most of the people here today, and he hasn't exactly been quiet (or non-violent) about it.

Safe to say, his look of gaping shock and no small amount of terror doesn't last long.]

Dash, I know it was you... [It's practically a growl.]

[She giggles into a hoof, then grins over it.]

It's for orphans, Ed! You're serving a good cause!

[If he wasn't acutely primed to pick up on horrible puns from listening to the auctionee introductions so far, he'd say something about a high horse and Rainbow's suggested position relative to it.

A standard-issue glare will have to do. It's accompanied by some extremely audible grumbling.] As if that's what you were thinking...
