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.]

[What.... is this, Derek? He seems... oddly invested in Tatsuo winning Mariko. Why?

Tatsuo glances up at Derek and raises an eyebrow.
]

Don't worry. I got this.
blondferret: (serious)

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-06-18 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[You're kidding right? Tatsuo is even more cheap than Derek.]

You sure? How much money do yo have? Do you forget how RICH Yoon-sung is? Tatsuo, you'll need all the help you can get!

[she is definitely red

when Elliot mentions getting off the stage, she blinks
]

O-oh, right!

[Li-Na turns... and just about faceplants on her way to the backstage area]
vendettastool: (to find out)

$1000

[personal profile] vendettastool 2018-06-18 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ What was that? Yoon-sung blinks at the look on Tatsuo's face and then narrowed his eyes. Was he toying with Yoon-sung? Over a silly little bidding war? Nope. Play time was over. ]

A thousand.

[It takes a considerable amount of willpower not to burst out laughing at the bidding and Mariko only just manages it by biting her lip. Visibly pink in the cheek, all she can manage is to cover her mouth delicately and pick a spot on the wall to keep from absolutely losing it.]
blondferret: (wtf)

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-06-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek looks at Tatsuo.]

How could you possibly have this? This is more than your rent!
thisloveisjustice: (cheerful)

$1500

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2018-06-18 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Tatsuo elbows Derek subtly]

Shush, I'm fine.

[after all, this isn't a silly bidding war, it's a charity auction, with Mari as the prize... and if Yoon-sung wants to bid on her, then Tatsuo is going to make sure he coughs up as much as possible]

Fifteen hundred.
vendettastool: (don't quote me)

$2000

[personal profile] vendettastool 2018-06-18 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ And he huffed in response. Tatsuo couldn't have that amount of money and yet here he was, trying to outbid him? Yoon-sung rolled his eyes in response. Fine. ]

Two thousand.
blondferret: (disappointed)

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-06-18 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek lowers his voice and whispers to Tatsuo.]

OK, I know you don't have this kind of money. What the hell are you doing?
megatechbody: (Default)

[personal profile] megatechbody 2018-06-18 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[The mantra 'It's not me, it's charity, It's not me it's charity' is a steady refrain as she keeps silent on the bidding war. Mariko manages to keep her composure at Tatsuo's bid, but when Yoon-sung counters, the blush deepens because there is a line between politeness, being a bro and interest and this entire situation is rapidly blowing past all of her expectations.

She's going to laugh her fool head off, right after she settles on if she's going to kill Tatsuo for this.

(apparently not more than a thousand dollars.) Since when do you get to pick and choose who I can date! I thought you were a brother, not a mom!

(how is it the most unattractive man got the second highest bid...)
thisloveisjustice: (cheerful)

$2500

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2018-06-18 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Look, Tatsuo had just been bidding in order to be a good friend, but then Yoon-sung had to get all flashy with his money. So of course Tatsuo is going to take him for as much as possible.

Tatsuo ignores Derek for the moment. He's getting to the point himself where he's uncomfortable with the amounts of money coming out of his mouth, but he has to keep his cool.

Two thousand five hundred.
floret: (but i'll push myself up through the dirt)

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jamie has wandered over from doing something or other and he was all set to bid like $30 but wow, is it ever not necessary! ]

Wow, Minato, you're such a hot commodity! Congratulations!
floret: (but i'll push myself up through the dirt)

$35

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
$35!

Unfortunately, after spending that much, I won't be able to afford the trip to Australia...
floret: (how to be american)

$35

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I love cats whose tricks I'm not wise to! $35!

[ so says the short dude bidding money, whose clothes look like they came out of a broke college kid's summer lookbook. ]
vendettastool: (no wrong)

$5000

[personal profile] vendettastool 2018-06-18 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ There were a number of things that Yoon-sung can do without flinching. Unfortunately, there were a lot more things that Yoon-sung did that gave his father so many headaches at night. Sure this was charity and he had been known to drop money like crazy at auctions, but something in the way Tatsuo was staring at him just made him double the bidding price. ]

Five thousand.

[ The playfulness was exchanged for a slight scowl because playing with him or not, Yoon-sung was still going to take up the challenge and double it. ]
floret: (better the files)

$30

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Who decided the different starting bid amounts...?

Anyway, $30!
floret: (and the new dead leaves—)

$25

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Canada seems like a chill place... $25!
floret: (but i don't have to go there)

$30

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know him! $30!

Gosh, handholding, though? Let's try to keep this family-friendly...
floret: (bam)

$25

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Are there lots of parties in Miami...?
Anyway, $25!

[Mariko makes a sound, like a gasp forced into a cough, trying to keep blushing like a damned schoolgirl at Yoon-sung's antics through sheer willpower. Her eyes dart not to him, but to Tatsuo - an expression that he knows is shorthand for 'Seriously?!'.

She clears her throat, hand raising like she's trying to summon a waiter for the check and specifically avoiding thoughts about what the date's price tag implies - charity or not. Looking to Minako, she grins - trying to channel her mortification into excitement for the sake of the event.
]

Well, that sounds like a good number to finish on.
vendettastool: (orly?)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2018-06-18 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
They are fluffy terrors. One is Dinah who prefers being a princess while the other is Cheshire the Great and Terrible Mouser and Escape Artist.

[ And he moves into an easy pose, leaning back against a handy corner, smiling a little. ]
thisloveisjustice: (cheerful)

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2018-06-18 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Tatsuo audibly coughs when Yoon-sung jumps to $5000. Like, dude, he'd have stopped at $3000, but okay.

Any now Mari is giving him a look and all Tatsuo can do is smile and shrug, because, hey he didn't know Yoon-sung was going to make that big a jump.

thisloveisjustice: (Default)

$50

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2018-06-18 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
One of them is an escape artist.

[but Yoon-sung mentioned his pool... and it is summer, it'd be a shame to not take advantage of this]

Fifty.
floret: (better the files)

During the Auction!

[personal profile] floret 2018-06-18 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's already headed toward the supply closet to grab a mop and its accoutrements... ]

When you say "ridiculous amounts," is it closer to, like, a couple pitchers' worth, or a kiddie pool's worth?
