WHO: YOU!
WHERE: A classy venue somewhere in the city.
WHEN: June 16
WHAT: ReVA date auction and dance! Saving the city through charity!
WARNINGS: None for now, though let me know if I need to change anything.
NOTES: Here is the OOC post if you need it. Feel free to make your own toplevels, but each eligible date will have their own bidding toplevels as well.

[Welcome to the ReVA date auction! The party is in full swing, and depending on what you're here for, you're either behind the scenes and keeping the party running smoothly, or you're involved in the bidding process and ready to start the party.
If you're volunteering, you might've been the decorating and muscle crew, tasked with all the set up of tables, chairs, and pretty things on the walls before the event. Minako and Jasmine, your main ReVA coordinators, will need help during the event as well, with escorts for the eligible dates, spotters, bouncers, caterers, bartenders, even bidders on eligible dates...anything you can do to help, they'll be happy to put you to work!
Or maybe you're one of the guest musicians! These people answer to Elliot, and he'll be the one to organize the line up on the stage.
There will be a short while for everyone to mingle, but eventually the date auction will start. If you're an eligible date, you'll be waiting backstage until your name is called, so hang tight and practice your most charming smile. If you're a bidder, spotters will be handing out cards with auction rules and details on each eligible date. Bid on whoever you want, and make sure to drop by the cashier's table afterwards if you win the bid!
(And remember that the eligible dates have the right to end the date if they feel uncomfortable, so no funny business.)
You can leave for a more private date elsewhere, or you can spend the time at the dance that will be hosted right after the auction. Dress code isn't too important, but any excuse to dress up is a good one, right? This part is open to everyone, by the way, not just auction participants! Unwind with some refreshments (no alcohol for minors though, of course) and move your body to the beat out on the dance floor. Enjoy the rest of the night, and maybe with some luck, everything you do here will help Zee and the rest of the Retrospec team bring the city and all of its residents back.]

DATE AUCTION
INTRO
Hi everyone, welcome to the ReVA date auction and thank you for coming! Tonight we have fifteen lovely dates on the auction block-- eleven bachelors and four bachelorettes. We'd love for all of them to be able to walk away with a new friend tonight, so in the name of charity and the city of Recollé, get ready to raise your bidding paddles!
KAREN "KARA" ELLIS
First up we have the lovely Karen "Kara" Ellis. Kara is 29 and a biomechanical researcher. Her hobbies are watching movies and reading. An intellectual who likes to unwind with dancing and flying through the sky-- and as you might suspect, she loves sci-fi and many associated robot things. She would love to travel to Tokyo for robotics expos, in fact! But probably best to avoid Japanese if you want to take her to dinner, because she doesn't like sushi.

MINATO ARISATO
Minato Arisato is a 22 year old and a very busy man. Not only is he a veterinary intern working at the senior dog sanctuary, he's also a Tea Kittle and Expressive employee, and somehow still has time to be a manager at Club Sunshine and be an online tutor. He likes nice, relaxing hobbies as a result, things that include sleeping, watercolor painting, playing the clarinet, and also rhythm games. [A little softening of her expression.] If he could go anywhere, he'd want to go back home.
[A clearing of her throat, and then:]

YOON-SUNG LEE
Here we have Mr. Yoon-sung Lee, 27 years old and the head executive of CUBEnix USA headquartered here in Recollé. Sports, board meetings, and fake people? Boring! Yoon-sung prefers working out, driving fast cars, partying-- even romcom dramas! And of course, video games. He plays all of the games his company publishes. If he could go anywhere, he'd go to Seoul to visit his family. Whoever wins him, you'll definitely have a fun time hanging out with him.

SIGMUND KLIM
...buuuut he looks great for his age, doesn't he? Sigmund is a bio-engineering researcher and college professor, and he likes reading, drinking, and [a twitch of her lips] old man music. He also likes robots, bugs, and cats. Doesn't like acting his age. If he could go anywhere in the world, he'd go--
[An outright laugh here.]
--to the bottom of the sea, where he says he belongs. Somehow I think Sigmund didn't write this himself, but well, he's here and on the auction block, so let's see what we can do to make it up to him.

KURT WAGNER
[Minako looks a little mystified by the lingo, but-- anyways.]
He wants to go to Miami, Florida for all the parties, so there definitely won't be a dull moment with him around!

OUTRO
That's all of our bachelors and bachelorettes! Thank you to all of our bidders for coming tonight. Bid winners, thank you for your charity. Please don't forget to visit the cashier's table, and we hope that you have a wonderful time with your new dates. The ReVA dance will be starting in half an hour once we've moved things around, so don't go too far! But if this is where we part ways, then I wish you a good evening and a safe journey home. Thank you again!
[She does a little bow before heading offstage.]
VOLUNTEERING

[A few hours before the event starts, Minako can be found on the second floor, a huge tangle of tiny fairy lights balled in her hands. She peers down at all the railing, looks down at the lights, and sighs deeply.]
Maybe you can figure this out better than me.
[And she tosses the whole thing over the railing.]
DURING THE AUCTION
[As is usual with events like these, Minako has a huge to do list and might be hard to track down.
You, on the other hand, probably have a lanyard with a red button on it that marks you as a "ReVA Staff Member", which means you're a Mina Minion for the night. Which means she can and will find you and flag you down to help with something or another.]
Someone on the second floor spilled ridiculous amounts of beer on the floor, I need you to come with me to clean it up.
[or]
How much do you know about fixing Bunsen burners?
[or]
Do you have some bandaids on you? I need them. Right now.

[Elliot's been put in charge of the sound equipment, so you better believe he's triple checking the microphone and sound system. He's rather particular about it too. He keeps testing, adjusting the settings, then testing again. He wants this to go perfectly, and this is how he can contribute]
The speaker in the back right corner isn't outputting enough sound. I'm going to check on it.
THE DANCE
[elliot's in charge with running the music, so if you're one of the musicians, you're answering to him. He's a nice guy, but he runs a tight ship. You better believe he'll be checking in on everyone before they go out to perform]
How's it going here?

closed to nazuna
he has some regrets-- no he has a lot of regrets, and it all takes place at the cashier's desk as he stares at his 2k less hands and goes to find nazuna... who is probably rightfully mad at him. gently, gently.]
Na~zu~. There's other people handlin' the music right now, so why don't we take a spin on the dance floor..?
[since the auction's over, the losers gone... or watching everyone else, maybe. leo sure hopes his fellow nazubidders are gone. he never knows when he's gonna reveal too much of his hand around nazuna.
thank god it won't be a Lot since that is Later this month but lord. he knows it was obvious when he liked miai, hopefully it won't be so obvious now...]

closed to nazuna
and he feels bad.
he's not usually one to have to worry about upsetting someone because, well, he's never really had "someone" in his life to upset. close acquaintances made up most of his "friends list" for such a long time, that having a best friend and needing to not fight is something he... is getting used to.
so a rather guilty looking and sheepish apollo walks up to nazuna, hand rubbing his neck as h stares at the very interesting floor and... tries.) Um... April 18th. That's my birthday. I never really had people to tell it to, so I just didn't...
(he's rambling again, and he knows it, so he sighs and barely looks nazuna in the eye.) Sorry.
no subject
the information surprises him, and he blinks, then, slowly, he smiles. it's not massive, but he offers it anyway, feeling a burst of warmth for the person he calls his closest friend. ] I think that's the only thing I could mad about, that you didn't tell me.
[ it's soft, very playful, and he pats the spot next to him up on the stage. ] ...that was pretty ridiculous, huh?

after the auction
Haru won. Haru won a date with Li-Na. A date with Li-Na.
There's a happy blush on her face as well as a giddy smile as she navigates her way around the venue. Her expression does falter when she has to pay up, of course, and she can't help wondering if this amount of money would be pennies to her other self. Probably. And that whole idea is bizarre to her, so she shifts her attention elsewhere.
Time to find Li-Na and confess that she's the mystery bidder. Though anyone else is free to interfere to talk to her
or explain their intentions, AKIRA!]not here but probably here
not here but also probably here
