WHEN: Saturday, December 13th, 2014.
WHAT: Earlier in the afternoon, there will be base-jumping in elf costumes. Later on is the charity silent date auction and different performances by USA celebrities fundraising for charity this holiday season. OOC information post here.
WARNINGS: None now, will update later. To avoid seeing all the silent auction threads, simply press on the (Hide ## comments) under the header comment for the auction section!

[ 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.

That's good- that it feels like home, I think.

[She laughs.]

Might as well grab the opportunity while it's there, right? I'm thinking about bidding on someone... I'm not looking for romance, but I do need to expand my social circle a bit.

Right? That's why I signed up for that blind date one a bit back. Made a lovely friend, America? What's the worst that can happen, I figure? I might have to kick someone in the nuts, but I could also make a new friend.

I got signed up for that one- I usually associate that with looking for a romantic date, so I didn't do it voluntarily, but I ended up having a good time anyway, so it all worked out. Maybe I should do it more often. I'm not always the best at making friends, so getting nudged into social situations might help a lot.

If you ever need a wingman. [ she shrugs. ] My cousin Sam was pretty shy and since I'm the complete opposite, I used to go out with him so he'd be more comfortable meeting new people. And it was fun for me, so it never felt like I was doing anything out of the ordinary.

[She chuckles.]

I might have to take you up on that sometime. I was really shy as a little girl, and though I have gotten better, my rushing through school so fast left little time for me to learn how to be sociable. I've got a boyfriend back home, so dates are out of the question, but... I need friends. I really miss mine back home...

Anytime, love, anytime. Maybe it'll help me be less of a workaholic.

[ she just really loves her job ok??? ]

[She laughs.]

So it's a win-win, right? I'll learn a thing or two from you, and we can both have fun.
