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.

Hi, Barnaby. [She smiles back, though rather shyly, and shakes the offered hand.] I'm Jennifer. Was taking a look at who's up for auction to see if anyone I know is up for bids- are you?
attainment: (where we used to be)

I am, actually. [His smile turns a little dry.] From what I've heard, some of the descriptions written up about us are...interesting, to say the least. I'm almost afraid to see what mine says.

[Almost. After seeing some of the more colorful things written by anonymous fans back home, it's hard to faze him anymore.]

Were you one of the medics at the jump earlier today?
forsometimenow: (friendly)

[Jennifer smirks.]

Yeah, whoever wrote them definitely wants to attract attention and pump up all of your good qualities. Not a bad thing, necessarily.

[She then nods in reply.]

I figured having some medical support couldn't hurt. There's so many things that could go wrong, and I work as an EMT here anyway, so it wasn't too much trouble to arrange.

Well, trouble or not, I appreciate your going on standby. You can never be too careful, especially when publicized events like this are involved.

I agree. I was at the party in the October when those people attacked... and helped out at the bombings... so that was on my mind. Any gathering where a lot of imPorts will be worries me a little.
attainment: (has got to change oh yeah)

[As they should, quite honestly.]

At least things have been quiet so far. I'm amazed everyone was able to handle the jump as well as they did, considering it was the first time for a lot of people.
forsometimenow: (talking)

I'm thankful for that, too. Even without any attackers, there are so many ways that could have gone wrong. But it didn't, so I hope the rest of the night will go well.
