DATE AUCTION!

[laughafterme]

[The air is full of excitement (at least according to Pinkie) as the beloved MC for the date auction takes the stage. Dressed in a queen of hearts costume (with full red bodysuit beneath), Pinkie hops onto the stage with the brightest smile she has in her arsenal.]


WELCOME TO THE EIGHTH ANNUAL… uh… SECOND ANNUAL… No, that's not right either…

[Just how many were there?! Pinkie does some math in the air before batting away at the imaginary numbers.]

WELCOME TO THE ANNUAL DATE AUCTION WHERE WE'RE NOT RAISING MONEY FOR THE ORPHANS THIS TIME! Yeah, that's more like it!

All proceeds from the auction will to towards making a fun space filled to the brim with FUN! Doesn't that sound…FUN?! [Is that silence?] Yeah, I'd rather the money go to orphans, too! But we can work on that later, right?! [She looks to the GFC. Well, it's more like a 'WE-HAD-BETTER-OR-ELSE!!' kinda stare. Pinkie looks back to the audience with her brightest smile again.]

So let's get this show on the road! [Pinkie gives a sly look to the audience.] The road to love~!

Comments

Rainbow Dash

[laughafterme]

Here's the FASTEST pony on four legs! My PBFF! RAINBOOOOOOOWWWW DAAAAAAAAAAASH!

[JAZZ HANDS AND SPARKLERS!!]

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow enters at speed, swooping over the crowd with a rainbow streak in her wake! She lands proudly in front of them, with a playful wink.]

And I'm not afraid to drink that potion for the date, if two legs is more your style!

Pinkie Pie

[laughafterme]

Up next is yours truly! Just as a reminder that even though I love cupcakes, they are not a valid form of payment!

But you're more than welcome to give me some anyway! [WINK]

1000 Gil

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

One thousand!

[He's got more! Go ahead and TRY him! This date will be all his!]

Koriand'r

[laughafterme]

Kori has all the looks that make her a great addition to any date! Think of her as a beautiful centerpiece, but sitting in a seat!

[curiouseyes]

[Kori is dressed rather nicely and is not surprised at all since she signed herself up. She smiles even though the comment sounded odd to her]

Headmaster Cid

[laughafterme]

Will the Headmaster have an extra special sweater vest picked out by his wife for this auction?! First person to win gets to find out! And remember to let the rest of us know!

1000 gil

[witchsuccession]

Yes. Yes, he will.

[Don't worry, this money isn't coming out of the orphanage. It's coming out of Cid's salary.]

Nena Trinity

[laughafterme]

This girl is LOUD, so remember, safety first! This date comes with complimentary ear plugs!

[weddingcrasher]

HEY! I AM NOT LOUD!

Tseng

[laughafterme]

This grumpy goose is really a soft nougat on the inside!

[Pinkie looks left and right before whispering:]

But you didn't hear it from me!

100

[earthlychild]

Let's go!

[plotdeviceturk]

[Tseng is just... having mildly horrible flashbacks to being a fresh young face in ShinRa and that one time the company thought that holding a charity fundraiser was a good plan and he'd drawn the short straw.

He's going to kill you Reno.]

Reno

[laughafterme]

The SECOND coolest person hits the stage, ready to steal a few hearts! Will that lucky person be YOU?!

The GFC would like to also state that they are not responsible for broken hearts!

Touma Norstein

[laughafterme]

Who doesn't wanna date a doctor?! C'MON AND BID FOR HIM! He'll be there for you through sickness and in health!

[youngnobelman]

[Wait, what, he was just here to watch and make sure Gaomon didn't spend his entire salary, how is he -

[Just go along with it, Touma.]

Greed

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie looks U N S U R E.]

With a name like this, I'm not sure how much he'll give on this date!

[gotgreedy]

Only one way you'll find out. The host is allowed to bid, right?

[Grinning broadly, the homunculus in the body of a Xingese prince spreads his arms wide to encompass everyone.]

Edward Elric

[laughafterme]

A warning comes with bidding for Edward: don't talk about his height! For some reason, he doesn't like being short! But just imagine being able to fit into ANY pillow fort! [Pinkie is so jealous!]

[rewritethis]

[Surprisingly, there's no corresponding outburst from behind her. It's somewhat less surprising if you squint close enough to realise that Ed is no longer on stage. He is, in fact, more than halfway back up the steps leading into the quad.

But there is a realistically proportioned decoy sitting where he was a minute ago, sporting a red duster draped over its shoulders and a defiant glare (complete with tongue sticking out).]

Maria Cyphert

[laughafterme]

Maria is back, ready to show off her skills and how she can kick any butt in Garden by just flexing her arms! [There is a pause.] Is that a trait for all gunblade users?!

[gunbladegrrl]

[And here's Maria -- not particularly dressed up and looking embarrassed, with her hands clasped behind her back and no sign of her weapons.]

Rapunzel

[laughafterme]

You may need an extra seat or two for Rapunzel and her hair! It's like dating two hairy people at once!

[seethelanterns]

[W-wait, she doesn't remember putting her name down for this....?]

Aerith Gainsborough

[laughafterme]

I have nothing but good things to say about Aerith, so…I won't say anything at all! Whoever doesn't know how great she is needs to crawl out of that training center and get with the program!

Aerith Gainsborough

[earthlychild]

[What the...? She's here to bid, not to participate! She hurries to grab her flower basket, trying her best to put on a show anyway. She tosses a rose to the crowd, watching it land smoothly in one of the gardens.]

Twilight Sparkle

[laughafterme]

Here comes my other PBFF! The smart, the thoughtful, the overprepared…TWILIGHT SPARKLE! [Pops confetti poppers!!]

50 gil

[youngnobelman]

[Smart and thoughtful sound good, and there's no such thing as overprepared...]

Fifty gil!

Commander Zabala

[laughafterme]

This lovely woman needs no introduction! But for the sake of the auction, I have to give one anyway! She's the most active Commander we've had in a while, and she has a soft spot for GINORMOUS chocobos!

By the way, there's a chocobo ranch not too far away in Balamb Town! HINT, HINT!

[commanderzabala]

[Much like the last time, the Commander appears dressed in robes that have a vague kimono style, with wide, sweeping sleeves and a flowing red pattern. Someday she'll figure out who keeps doing this to her, but she'll be a good sport in the meantime.]

Lihau Pyrestout

[laughafterme]

Rumor has it that Lihau can drink anyone under the table and chairs! So…does that mean she likes water? [Scratches her cheek.] Or does it mean she drinks under a table and chair?!

Well, WHATEVER! Here she is!

[tapthekeg]

[There's a playful little giggle at Pinkie. Lihau herself is dressed in a fairly beautiful robe that she's thankful came with her.]

It means that I know how to hold my alcohol. And I am certainly willing to drink the potion if that would make the date more comfortable!

Ayumu Kasuga

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie reads the cue card, but she looks confused.]

Who's this girl?! I know EVERYONE in Garden, so...this is awkward!

[grainsoftruth]

[Osaka is no stranger to awkward, so all she does is stand on the stage and beam happily. In fact, she might carry on doing that long after the auction is over, but that's not important just yet.]

Emias Oaks

[laughafterme]

Awwwww! Look how cute he is with his rabbit ears! How can anyone resist that?!

LET'S START THE BID AT TEN GIL AND A SALAD!!

[tiamat_shot]

[Aw, nuts. He thought he'd gotten away. No use panicking at this point, just covering his eyes with his hat.]

A... a salad, kupo?
