BBS video from Russell's ID

[wrnpcs]

[Oh look, it's the friendlier-to-off-worlders of the two GFC co-leaders, Russell Drake! Now sporting a scar in his upper lip.]

Hello from the Garden Festival Committee! We hope everyone's doing okay with the current mission. But don't worry, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it ain't Heaven: I've got some exciting announcements today for Valentine's Day, that Earth holiday of lovers!

The headmaster has generously allowed us to use some of the supplies from the would-have-been graduation ball [yeah, nobody graduated this quarter; the NPCs all failed] to hold a Sweethearts Dance! This will be held in the ballroom on Friday February 15th.

And to help you find a date for the dance, we'll be running a date auction in the quad on Monday February 11th at lunchtime, the first day of the new term. So if you want a hot date for the dance, sign yourselves up or save up your gil!

We will also be bringing back that favorite Valentine's activity, secret admirer deliveries. From just two gil, you can send that special person a token of your affections, hand delivered to your recipient's dorm room on Thursday February 14th by the Garden Festival Committee.

Proceeds from the auction and deliveries will go towards building a recreation room, and we'll be holding signups for the auction and taking delivery orders in the cafeteria all week. And seriously, guys, stop signing up the unwilling. I will personally be watching the signup desk this time!

On behalf of the Garden Festival Committee, I'd like to wish you a happy Valentine's Day, and we hope that you have fun! Drake, out.

[Date auction signups will close Saturday night; delivery orders (in another post so they can be screened) will close Wednesday night.]

DATE AUCTION SIGNUPS

[wrnpcs]

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow Dash is signing up. ...again...]

[tiamat_shot]

[...This moogle has no idea what he's doing. Possibly, one of the upperclassmen tricked him into thinking he was signing up for something that didn't involve dating.

Either way, his name is on that signup sheet now.]

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie signs up in a heartbeat!]

[curiouseyes]

[And Star quickly signs up]

[grainsoftruth]

[Osaka looks at her hair in the mirror one morning and starts to think that it's been getting a bit long lately.

Which leads to her signing up for this. Don't ask.

After some consideration, she comes back and adds Headmaster Cid's name too.]

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie distracts the GFC with a stink bomb long enough to slip these names in:

Tseng
Reno
Touma
Greed
Edward
Maria
Rapunzel
Aerith
Twilight Sparkle
Commander Zabala (she needs lovin too!)
...and Zoidberg.

They should have worn gas masks, like Pinkie!]

[guidethesun]

[ Crossing out Rapunzel's name with fat black marker. ]

[laughafterme]

[A shame he can't do that since they're in a box!]

[guidethesun]

[ Then here's a letter from Eugene, stating that he'd appreciate if they didn't auction off his girlfriend. Also, after noticing that little announcement part about keeping watch of who signed up, he adds a little note saying that they should only have those who actually signed up themselves be auctioned off. Oh. And please don't auction Rapunzel. He loves her a lot and would like it if she weren't given to the highest bidder. ]

[wrnpcs]

[Going through the box, copying names onto the list... This clearly isn't a signup form. Into the trash can it goes!]

[guidethesun]

[ Enjoy library fines on Auction day, girls. ]

[wrnpcs]

[Like he's even around when they're writing the list. Besides, there are GFC members on the Library Committee too.]

[guidethesun]

[ Not talking about you. ]

[laughafterme]

[Who IS he talking to??]

[guidethesun]

[ You! That extra (s) is a typo. ]

[laughafterme]

[Why isn't Eugene going to be the highest bidder?! ]

[guidethesun]

[ Kinda sends the wrong message to the girl he loves who comes from a royal family that he'd buy her. Not just because it sends the wrong message, but also because where Rapunzel and Eugene are from, when you buy someone, it's not always innocent as a date auction. ]

[weddingcrasher]

Ooo! Ooo! Sign Nena up!

[selphie_t]

Woo! Come on Garden, let's raise some money and get ourselves a rec room!

Give generously and remember that there's nothing we can't do together!

[And then Selphie's going back to sleep.]

[rewritethis]

If you really cared about that, you'd let us opt out, wouldn't you?

[wrnpcs]

If you must, man. If you must.

[They're fussier when it's for an actual charity.]

[redcinemareel]

Don't we already have a recreational room?

[wrnpcs]

What, the adult lounge? That's just for adults. [Plus, has some leftover booze.] We're aiming for a room that kids and teenagers can use too, and with things like games.

[redcinemareel]

Then count me out.
