[ 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.

I really don't know what to say about that. [ Because she doesn't. Freddie was only expecting to get a pity bid, if she even got bid on at all. The fact that her bid was now hundreds of dollars? That was weird. Weird and unexpected. And it meant that she needed to come up with an awesome date idea. ]

I've got to say, I wasn't expecting that at all.

No idea, [ she admitted. ] I've mostly been paying attention to the couple of auctions I'm bidding on.

[ aka 'Freddie is trying to score a hot date with somebody rich.' ]

Bruce Wayne. [ there's a look in Freddie's eyes. a look that's plainly implying that she'll take Wayne's money when he's in need, that she's a trifling friend indeed. ]

I have, [ Freddie remarked, her voice dropping a bit. She was fine with Annie. Annie wasn't too nosy or got in her way too much. But at the same time, Freddie just really doesn't want anybody else overhearing about her and the Porter. ]

It's...interesting. And the general consensus I've gotten is that because of the Porter back in the City, nobody really believes this Porter will shut down that easily.

Yes, but I'm hardly in Ananke's good graces. [ it's worth noting that her last conversation with Ananke ended up Ananke basically saying 'your ass is already grass, don't make it worse.' ] This is a thread that I can investigate myself.
