Homecoming event signups [BBS video/action]

[BBS video]

Hey, Garden! Hope you're all enjoying the Homecoming season.

[Who's this girl greeting the webcam? Why, it's Zainah, respected treasurer of the GFC and purveyor of many a contemptuous glance at off-world cadets and SeeDs while walking past them in corridors. Today, however, there's no trace of that! School events are serious business, y'all.

...There's still something a little bit glassy about her smile, though.]

The Garden Festival Committee - that's us - has just a couple of announcements. Firstly, keep your calendars open for Friday, because the carnival is back! [And dear Hyne, you would not believe how much wrangling that took with the current states of both Garden's finances and the GFC's suppliers.] We've got a great spread of booths and games lined up for this year, and our customary date auction is set to take place in the quad in the afternoon. If you're worried about snagging a date in time for the big day, worry no longer!

Before that... [Did she just twitch?] we've got another new, exciting event waiting in the wings. Ever wanted to strut your stuff on the stage, but never had the chance? Well, Thursday's your big day, because Garden will be hosting its first ever beauty pageant just after lunch! Come and show us what you're made of!

[She doesn't sigh at the mental image of the weird, wacky monsters and sorceresses she expects to dominate the show, but she clearly wants to.]

...If you're raring to sign up for any of these, look for our sign in the cafeteria. We'll be around all week, so you can't miss us. Just remember to bring your Garden ID, as ever.

Anyway, Zainah out - oh, and don't forget to vote Helena Oster for Homecoming Princess!

[And that's that.]


[action]

[Throughout the week, GFC members can be found manning a table in the cafeteria (blame the terrible weather recently) with a large sign: SIGNUPS FOR HOMECOMING EVENTS! As well as entrants for the beauty pageant and date auction, cadets will be taking volunteers and last-minute suggestions for booths at the carnivals. If anyone volunteers to help out at a booth, they'll be assigned a (handwaved) shift in due course - they won't have to be stuck in there all day! Also, as Zainah mentioned, the GFC will be carding people as a safeguard against fake signups, but there are only so many of them around, and it's going to be pretty hectic in there...

Beauty pageant nominations will ICly close on Wednesday, while signups for carnival booths and the date auction will close on Thursday, at which point volunteers will be informed of their shifts.]

DATE AUCTION SIGNUPS

[wrnpcs]

[fierybluebird]

[In which Marco stops by in various disguises that fool nobody and signs up everyone.]

[Yes.]

[Even you Zoidberg.]

[So let's roll 'em.]

[Namur, Portgas D. Ace, Thatch, Espio, Grell, Marco, Fionna, Nathan Drake, Touma, Mikuru, Pinkie Pie, Gakupo, and so on.]

[In fact it's safe to assume that if Marco knows your name, he signed you up.]

[You might want to come erase it.]

[Or enjoy the prank of the century. One of those.]

LOOKIT DIS ICON! LOOOOOOOK!

[redcinemareel]

[Taps his shoulder.]

:T

[fierybluebird]

Kitten.

B(

[redcinemareel]

Darling.

Erase our names.

O:)

[fierybluebird]

I can't do that.

We have to show Namur that it's safe.

Don't worry, I'll outbid the hordes that try to buy a date with you.

B|

[redcinemareel]

Don't you think for ONE MOMENT that I'm buying you!

[So she'll just have to take their names down herself!]

Of ALL THE NERVE! Let Namur be a week old guppy for all I care! If he can't handle a date auction, then let him NEVER live it down!

BEAUTY CONTEST SIGNUPS

[wrnpcs]

[In spite of anything you might have heard, these are very much open to all genders!]

[fierybluebird]

[Once again....]

[Marco is signing up everyone.]

[EVERYONE.]

[Even you.]

[MAYBE ESPECIALLY YOU!!!]

[If you don't come stop him, you can expect to be unexpectedly nominated to partake in this event. It doesn't matter that you are a pony, fishman, chameleon, or dead, whoever you are, you're beautiful and Marco thinks you should flaunt it.]

[There might also be an executive Captain's order if you're in his crew. He's evil.]

[Feel free to specifically name your character here, or have them find out some jackass phoenix signed them up randomly and remove their name. Whichever.]

[redcinemareel]

[Well, Grell was going to sign herself up anyway, so this works in her favor.

Buuuuuuut she's gonna sneak in Zabala's name. Even if she refuses, it will still be a great story to tell.]

[mera_mera_ace]

Marco...what are you doing?

[fierybluebird]

Nothing, yoi.

[Totally nothing yo.]

[mera_mera_ace]

That's not your nothing face, Marco...that's your scheming face and you're totally up to something. Don't make me go get Thatch. [Trying and failing at the deadpan and actually ends up smiling as he threatens him. The simple fact that all of Marco's faces look the same also means Ace is slightly full of shit..but in this one off...at least Marco actually IS up to something.]

[fierybluebird]

Be my guest, eh. You won't dig anything up.

[Calling your bluff man.]

[mera_mera_ace]

Alright, one hot dose of Thatchette coming right up. [Goes off to get Thatch]

Booth Idea

[mera_mera_ace]

Hey, do you guys have like a kissing booth? I would be glad to do that one. [Grins and wiggles his eyebrows]

Re: Booth Idea

[fionna_time]

Hey, I was already signed up for that!

[mera_mera_ace]

Well we could both do it?

[fionna_time]

...Yeah, I guess we could. I mean, if someone doesn't wanna kiss a dude they go for me, or if they wanna, they kiss you, right?

[mera_mera_ace]

Same with the girls, Sis. You have to kiss anyone who pays.

[fionna_time]

Well yeah, same with the gi-wait, what?!

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie swiftly puts her name (+ Gummy) in for balloon animals! And face painting! Maybe Balloon animals with painted on faces! IT WAS ALL TOO MUCH TO HANDLE!!]

Archery!

[fotlenke]

[ She puts her name down for ARCHERY. But she also adds MUST HAVE PLASTIC ARROWS FOR SAKE OF SAFETY. HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH SIR RUSSEL DRAKE ON NECESSITIES. ]
