WHO: OPEN.
WHERE: De Chima.
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.

So you mean, just wish it? ( She looks somewhat dubious. ) All right.

( She closes her eyes and does her best to simply imagine herself floating upwards and the strange thing is, it actually seems to be working.

In reality, though, she's just standing on her tippy-toes. )


How am I going? ( she doesn't open her eyes yet. )

Is it working?
yatagarasu: (UMM ☄ are those floating keys)

Not really just wish, but...

[Before Kay could continue, Franziska has closed her eyes and...oh, okay, not really. Darn, Kay really thought she had it that time.]

...uh, not quite yet. Maybe jump and then try to stay up in the air...?
bratziska: (lashing → takes glory in your injuries)

[personal profile] bratziska 2014-12-29 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
( Okay, given Kay's response her newfound increased height must merely be a figment of her imagination. Summoning all of her will and energy, she jumps as high as she can...

... and lands firmly on her feet with a thump. Her eyes snap open. )


It's not working.
yatagarasu: (POUT ☄ stop giving me that look)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-29 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Kay frowns, racking her brain for another idea. At last she gives a resigned sigh.]

Then I guess you'll find out when we make the jump.
bratziska: (consideration → but you just can't touch)

[personal profile] bratziska 2014-12-31 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose so. ( She doesn't sound entirely convinced. ) How much longer do we have?
yatagarasu: (GLANCE ☄ over her shoulder)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-31 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She glances at her watch. Well, she had to be on time, so taking a watch along was the logical course of action.

Edgeworth's rubbing off on her, isn't he?]


It's almost 4. We should probably get into position.

[personal profile] bratziska 2015-01-01 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Let's. I'll be sure to let you know if I make any progress.
yatagarasu: totes stealing that line from apollo (STANCE ☄ gotcha)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2015-01-01 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Great! Or, I could try and look for you on the way down.
bratziska: (default → perfectly presented profession)

[personal profile] bratziska 2015-01-02 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure that will be more effort than it's worth. We should try and focus on the moment, wouldn't you say?
yatagarasu: (PURSUIT ☄ hot on the trail)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2015-01-02 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
...good point. Well, good luck!
bratziska: (impatient → hurry up and wait)

[personal profile] bratziska 2015-01-02 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I'll see you at the other end.
