[ BASE JUMPING from TARTARUS TOWER ]
For those imPorts who volunteered to jump from Tartarus Tower, arrivals for fittings into their costumes begins at 2:00 PM sharp. Each costume comes with a name-tag attached, and make-up artists are on hand to help affix elf ears to participants and work on their eye make-up for the ease of the cameras catching all this live.
The jumps will start at 4:00 PM, and after all imPort elves have jumped and successfully reached the ground, they'll join the bus transporting presents and Malik to the De Chima children's hospital to deliver gifts to the children in the cancer ward (and elsewhere). ImPorts will then be transported over to the main facilities for the fundraiser event as a whole, invited to attend the Silent Date Auction as well as listen to any of the various performances occurring over the course of the evening.
[ CHARITY SILENT DATE AUCTION in DE CHIMA ]
Starting at 4:00 PM, the doors to the conference hall made available for the ImPort Charity Silent Date Auction will open. Live music will be provided, along with refreshments and catered hor d'oeuvres, and televisons displaying both the news stories and live coverage of the fundraiser events occurring over the course of the evening. ImPorts will be encouraged to attend any of these performances in person, but will not be required to leave the conference hall unless they wish to do so.
There is lounge seating available, and free wireless throughout the building. Different conference halls are hosting different events in this event center, and the largest productions are happening on a built stage outside. There's a massive lit tree in the central front courtyard of the event center, and many small stands selling hot drinks, good foods, and wares outside by the stage and surrounding streets, all with a portion of proceeds going to various named charities.
Please comment to this log with your own starters! Only the Auction Thread will be set-up under its own sub-thread, for ease of tracking. Auction Threads can be threaded in, but initial comments to those threads should be the bids that a character is placing on someone else (or themselves). Bidding will close OOCly by this time next week (or when a player states bidding is closed on their character - send me a PM to close that thread, or comment to close it on your own). ICly, all bids close at the end of the night.

annie leonhart | ota (tartarus tower & silent auction)
She tightens the straps of her parachuting gear, having gone over it once with an instructor before figuring she had the basic idea down enough to be okay. Looking up, she spies a twisted strap running over someone else's shoulder. "You're twisted," she says from behind them, to their left. "Your strap is, I mean."
Later, after distributing gifts at the Children's Hospital (she isn't finding that she's all that fond of hospitals in general), Annie heads over to the Silent Auction, roughly two hours after it begins. She's still in her elf jump-suit costume, carrying her bag slung over a shoulder with what she'd worn over to Tartarus Tower inside. Her eyes pass over the auction tables set up in the foremost part of the room. She's looking for the refreshments table. Annie spots someone she recognizes (either as an imPort or someone she knows more than generally) and approaches, asking a pointed question. "Did you see if they set out any water bottles earlier?"

ken kaneki || silent auction
Of course he avoids any sort of food and drinks, except for water and coffee he somehow managed to get. Of course he is drinking coffee, that's what his description mentions, after all. But that's besides the point, the point is, this is terrible.
Anything relating to dates is terrible. Anything relating to being social and be around many people is,too.
And yet, Kaneki is still unable to refuse even if someone else signed him up and he seriously would rather not do any of this, and he still comes to the Auction - and spends most of his time at some corner, trying not to be noticed as he sips his coffee. ]
no subject
[ says Annie, in an elf costume, having arrived two hours after this whole thing kicked off. she gives ken a once over, quirks her eyebrows up at the corner he's in, and the coffee (it will always be coffee) in hand. she has a lot more context to understand ken's situation, how this is uncomfortable, and all of that - but sympathy and understanding to her own degrees doesn't mean she won't point out he's lending credence to something he doesn't need to lend credence to. ]

REINER BRAUN | silent auction & OPEN
Well, tonight, Reiner decides to use the opportunity to get to know people better; that's always the first step for integrating properly into any society. And that really should be a priority, no matter what else Reiner decides to do here.
So after placing a couple of bids, he moves around the room to see what all is there, investigating the charities, the tree, the food, before he finally settles back in the conference hall with some hot cider and a plate of food. He sits down, pulling a piece of chicken off a shish kabob with his teeth. ]
no subject
But when he spots Reiner, he approaches with a smile. Might as well talk to the people he knows ]

Jennifer Keller - both places - open
[As Jennifer had told Annie, after the attempted kidnapping at the maze and the terrorist bombings back in October, she didn't want to take any chances. Better to be overprepared than underprepared, especially at a highly-publicized event that was attracting a lot of imPort volunteers.
As such, the city of De Chima had kindly provided a few ambulances to be on hand in case of injury or attack. Jennifer was among the medics, and if anybody managed to sustain injuries during the base jump, she was ready with first-aid.]
[Auction]
[She hadn't bothered changing out of her EMT uniform when going to check out the date auction, still half worried that something was going to go wrong, but that worry lessened as time went on.
Jennifer even inspected a few of the people up for auction, giving serious consideration to bidding on someone, and taking the time to stop by several of the snack stands and give as generously as she could afford to.]

Freddie Lounds | silent auction & open!
Besides, she's popped like two excedrin before coming here, she's not gonna get drunk.
She looks great though, wearing an organza party dress and mingling through the crowds, glass of water in her hand. ]
no subject
[ Says Annie, holding a three-quarters empty water bottle in her hand. She's also dressed in the elf jumpsuit from Tartarus Tower still, not feeling a need to have changed when she wasn't able to get the makeup off easily. Walking around as normal with elf ears and dramatic eye makeup wasn't in her to do list for... ever, if she could help it. ]

Winry Rockbell | OTA | Silent Auction
Come chat her up, try to figure out if you want to bid on her. Ignore the sulking, teeth gnashing young man who may be shadowing her. He's just not happy with her signing herself up for this auction thing. Also, feel free to interrupt them if they start bickering...]
no subject
[Especially when a certain other alchemist also decided to join in. No, Ed isn't paranoid or possibly jealous as Winry gets herself involved in this and the idea of 'dates' at all. Just ignore this blonde brat constantly nearby. Anyone getting this would be better than Kimblee but that still does not make him any less irritable right now.]

Plus, being here feels like it could be a good way to meet new people, which is part of why she signed herself up for the auction thing. It seemed like a fun way to spend some time and maybe meet new people or get to know somebody better, if anyone bid on her. Either way, she's feeling pretty good.
... And that tree is still super pretty.]

Kaidan Alenko ❖ Towers + Silent Auction ❖ open!
[ Starting with the towers, it wasn't really something he'd normally do, but for a good cause, he was willing to, although he shifted in the gear, feeling (and looking like he felt) ridiculous in it. He was used to jumps and doing things of that sort. Freefall wasn't scary, or a concern. He figured it'd be safe, right? Worst came to worst, he might be able to slow his fall if there was an equipment malfunction.
His face, unfortunately, showed his concern. Worrying over the idea of it was distracting -- which was why he bumped into someone, not even noticing it, until he was jostled from his thoughts by the impact. ]
-- Oh, sorry!
[ SILENT AUCTION ]
[ He really only came for solidarity. And then he'd realized that a lot of the people he'd gotten to know here were up for auction, which was really even more surprising.
But while he walked around, in something that was supposed to be "nice", a suit that some place had recommended he rent -- but it was just not cut for someone of his size, a little too big in the middle, and too small in the shoulders, and he mostly shifted awkwardly, and hovered to the edges or the food, like he was looking to get out of here as soon as he could.
And it just wasn't his day, since he avoided running into someone, but ended up spilling food onto his front, and he grimaced. ]
Dammit --
towers
She draws herself up fully, not that it has much effect, and feels the hand that usually carries her riding hand curl into a fist.
At least he said sorry. It's a start. )

base jumping
She decides to tackle the problem the way she usually does: by seeking more information. She starts to approach the other jumpers, far more politely than she usually does. Without her riding crop, she tends to be less derisive. )
Excuse me, but I was just wondering if you've done this before...?
b) after delivering the presents: ( While Franziska's feet are firmly planted on the ground, her spirit is still somewhere in the skies. She looks completely exhilarated, and only a third of that is caused by Christmas joy, honestly. She fell through the sky. And now she wants to fly.
This time, she seeks out her fellow base-jumpers with a slightly different question. It would sound foolish if she was back in her own world, but this wasn't the America she was used to. )
Do you happen to know anybody who can fly?

ABEL GIDEON | silent auction & OPEN
There's entertainment to be had, at least. He distracts himself by placing a bid or two (why not make it a bidding war, he doesn't spend money on much else and a sword-fighter could come in handy to know) but overall he tries not to be exceptionally noticeable. Difficult to an extent when one is a one-legged man in a wheelchair, yet at the same time, often people just let their eyes and attentions pass over him.
He parks himself at some point near the tree, just far enough away that the tree will draw away most attention from him, and drinks a coffee. He feels still, though his hands tremor very slightly now and then unconsciously and his eyes move around as if trying to observe everything -- his leg, of course, never moves at all. ]
no subject
that kind of conversation stays with a person. the other dreams may have faded, but she remembers that one with clarity. and squints from afar.
eventually she wanders over when he's outside, tugging a cardigan on over her dress, and pulling her long hair free of the garment so it falls over her shoulders delicately. she smiles politely, but there's a little hesitance. how is she supposed to start a conversation with someone after she's probably eaten part of his body? there is no manual for that type of thing. hannibal did not give her lessons in that particular topic of decorum -- presumably since she was tucked away so she wouldn't have conversations with anyone, least of all dr gideon.
well fuck that. she curls her hands around her iced tea -- it's pink. ]

Richard Castle | Auction | OPEN
He could also be seen showing off his powers every now and then- like manifesting a different-colored bowtie every time the one he was wearing vanished. Or creating pins to wear that had over-the-top titles or facts about him printed on them, like so:
"The Esteemed Editor Castle" "I also write award-winning novels!" "Very Well-Read" "Mr. Editor" "Will Change The Face of 'We Are Hommens'"
He often hovered around the refreshment tables, figuring that was where he could talk to the most people, trying to resist the urge to keep an eye on who was bidding on him.]

commander shepard | open | base jumping & silent auction
[ Shepard's not sure if he's been given a costume that's too small, or if they're just designed to fit the way they do, but either way, the material's straining across his shoulders, and Shepard shifts uncomfortably. Besides that, it isn't actually terrible -- it fits better than the BDUs on the SR-1, anyway.
The ears are a different matter. He keeps reaching up to scratch at them every so often, threatening to dislodge the latex, but he can't help it. He's one of the last jumpers of the afternoon, and he's practically bouncing in anticipation through-out dress-up to just before the actual event itself, grinning like a lunatic.
His tag reads Reckless Elf and when he finally makes the jump, his parachute flares a brilliant red behind him. ]

[ Unlike some of the other jumpers, Shepard shows up to the auction still dressed in his elf costume, ears and nametag and all, joking and laughing about how it's not quite like doing a drop from a space ship.
His expression changes, though, when he actually reads the description written for him, looking affronted for all of five minutes before he promptly decides to go and badger acquaintances into bidding on him. If you know Shepard -- or even if you don't -- odds are good you might find a heavy hand clapping you on the shoulder and the Commander leaning in with a grin, looking like he has a very important question he wants to ask you. ]

"Space syphilis?"
[ his description is worse than hers. she's a little amused. ]

Will Graham | Silent Auction | Open
Besides, it's in Virginia. There are few things more appealing to Will Graham than the state of Virginia, even if it's different from the one he knows and hides away from the rest of the world in.
He's not in his usual wardrobe, doesn't stand out in a plaid shirt and overly large jacket that can't hide the plaid disaster beneath it. No, he's a little classier this time around, at least on the surface. The gloves get stuffed in his coat pocket when he makes his way inside, of course, and there is absolutely no interest on his end in any food or drink, no matter how good or hot or whatever "selling" point there might be. His curiosity in the bidding doesn't extend too far. Freddie's surprises him more than worries him, some of the write ups are absolutely tasteless, but that's the sort of thing that sells. Sensationalism and exaggeration trump blunt truths on a constant basis, why wouldn't an event meant to bring in the money cash in on what, well...brings the cash in?
When one of the vendors ends up dropping a breakable cup, Will takes a second to steel himself before reaching down to pick up the piece of it that scatters nearest him. Time reverses. For the cup, if nothing else. All those shattered bits end up back together under his touch and he passes it back over. Still doesn't want anything to drink. Put the drink to charity or something. Or clean that cup out and fill for whoever else might be passing by, he doesn't want it. Arguing with a vendor makes more of a scene that what it has to be, though, so it doesn't last too long.
Okay, fine. He'll take water. Begrudgingly. In fact, anyone who comes across him at any point in his trip through the place probably notices that the vibe he's giving off is more in keeping with the Scrooge or the Grinch than anything or anyone who believes in the magic of holidays. There is a heart, maybe. Somewhere under the ooze of hurried bah humbug gifted with the power of fixed broken cups.
How magical.]

rosie, meanwhile, is the opposite, cheerfully perched on the edge of a bench with a flock of tiny humans surrounding her while they touch the quaffle sized ball of electricity in her hand and their hair stands on end like those balls at the science museum. they squeal and chatter in delight and since rosie doesn't need to put much effort into such a simple task, she can people watch while she casually explains the science of it in terms first graders can understand before they're collected by their parents and disperse.
her people watching garnered her peanuts, except for a certain teacup power. she flutters over like a butterfly, shaking sparks off her fingertips as her body absorbs the rest of the bright blue electricity she was just discharging. ]
Now that was a neat trick.
[ she points to his cup in case he thinks she was being just phenomenally self-aggrandizing, right there. ]

rosie | auction & after, open
after talking to her roommate for a while, she drifts outside to look at the tree and ooh, hot cocoa. that is her jam! it's not chilly enough for her taste, nor snowy enough (yet) but at least there is the hint of a chill here. good choice for christmas charity stuff. ]
after auction; their date, too
Nevertheless, Simon seeks out the lady winner and eventually discovers the lovely blonde. He approaches with a very disarming, very charming smile. ]
Why, hello—I hope I'm not mistaking you for someone else. Rosie Franklin, I believe? My name's Simon Newton. Congratulations on your win.
