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.

[And, unfortunately for Will, Inumuta does have quite the habit of digging and digging.]

Ah, yes. You did. I did.

[Sorry Will, but he's a little more unflappable than that.]

She intends on taking me on a date for my birthday, so I intended to take her on one so that we were equal. But I'm not sure I have the funds to compete with three hundred and fifty dollars to spend simply on gaining the date.

Are you really that upset about this? I'm a little concerned, Will. You look slightly pale, too.
infomodder: i need to crit you on all this SHIP PUSHING (do you have an hmd)

[Poor unfortunate souls everywhere. Formerly poor, on Will's end.

Sad tales of being too poor to compete with $350, this is right up Will's alley, actually. He can empathize with that from profound personal experience. Not necessarily when it comes to dating (he just wanted some socks, holy shit, he did not have room to care much about roses and chocolates and other trivial garbage that didn't do anything in the long run), but in general? Yeah, he gets it. He hopes that his stupid wallet dumping isn't seen as a threat, was never intended as one. He's all set to address that when the slightly pale comment comes in and that slightly changes to completely pale.

He's not upset with this situation enough to pale. He's upset that his paleness was noticed and he doesn't want to explain why that is. So.
]

Uh huh.

[Pardon him, he's going for the kill.]
infomodder: actually being a raging douchebag, no one is surprised (lookin like a qt)

[personal profile] infomodder 2014-12-16 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pale or not he looks pleased enough when he finishes his kill, oh God, that is a terrible smile. On the outside, it looks fine. Really.

But.

A thing has happened and he's so proud of the thing that happened. This is not actually a good smile this is bad. Still, he tries for something personable, shoving his hands in his pockets and turning off the grumble as he gets just in the personal bubble. He's so jovial-sounding right now!

Santa is close to Satan, after all.
]

Now you're both equal in one way. ["You're both worth $350," the most reassuring thing to tell teenagers...he's told them worse. Oh God. That smile is out of control levels of dog that done did the thing and will continue to do the thing without hesitation. Look, Ma, I brought you a dead bird, ain't it great?] Is she taking you out on your birthday or can I claim that date?

[Unfortunately, Will, that's also a pretty bullshit answer. He's not poor. Far from it. He never has been poor. But he also doesn't feel like competing with someone who, he can tell, money is no object to. Will is determined for some reason, and Inumuta can't be bothered to compete that harshly. So thanks for the temporary pity, Will, but he doesn't need it.

He's yet to understand Will's "uh huh" though. Something about it unsettles Inumuta, but right now, he has no leads to what that could mean.

...Until he sees Will bid on his own lot.

That... this couldn't possibly be what he really wants. He's doing this out of spite. It works to genuinely embarrass Inumuta, though.

Will... Withdraw. You don't really mean that. Is this small a confrontation really worth that much money?

[He actually had a birthday he was looking forward to...]
infomodder: can i return to sender can i shove this in his chest would he be okay with that (knives property of H. L.)

[personal profile] infomodder 2014-12-16 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, the satisfaction and joy that comes from Smartass McGee all withdraw you don't mean it!!!! is priceless. There is not a single amount of money worth more than this, right here, right now. It's a happy occasion, and the way Will lights up at the mister no gives it all away.

Talk shit, get hit. Has no one learned this is the sad case when it comes to Baltimore?

No? Fine. He'll make it more obvious.
]

It's worth it...I've been really curious about if that keyboard cat is the same thing as a meme and not gotten a...solid answer on that one yet.

[He says "meme" wrong. Purposefully. All of this is going to get worse. Purposefully. When he pulls his gloves out of his pockets and starts putting them on same time as he explains why it's worth it? It's also on purpose. There is a design at work and Will is pretty content with it at the moment. For once. He'll be back around to check later, in case the bid gets higher. Oh God will he ever.]

It'd be great to find out for sure, and you seem like the right person for the job.

[He's... He can't believe this. He can't believe just simply talking to Will has upset him enough that he is going to spend $350 on Inumuta, to plan a date on his birthday, to make him talk about memes. Inumuta cringes at the incorrect pronunciation, so it has it's intended effect.

And, like a dog who knows he's done something wrong, the whimpering starts.
]

Will, please, have some sympathy. Was I really that offensive to you? I'm sorry. Please don't do this.

[It's not too genuine, though. Inumuta will say anything to get himself out of trouble, if it's something he really doesn't want to deal with.]
infomodder: i'm rly good at it because i'm not rly a good cop oops (playing bad cop)

[personal profile] infomodder 2014-12-16 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[No. No, not working. Not this time around. This isn't as sadistic as Inumuta seems to think it is if he's resorting to sympathy please I'm sorry. Who better to teach a young new tricks than an old dog who's fed the hell up with the world at large, right?

He has plenty of sympathy, but good God—this is a bit much.
]

Don't do what? [Genuine confusion over on his end as he tugs one glove on, eyebrows furrowed.] Can't withdraw now. It's there. Somebody would notice, might ask about it. Somebody like Annie. What, am I going to tell her you started yowling like you'd been kicked, made an infantile scene of nothing, and I caved in? [PFFT PLEASE.] That looks bad on both of us.

[Both gloves on. Fortunately, there are no sunglasses to follow, and certainly no Who song going to blare in the background. He's not stoic enough for it to really fit anyway. It's still just as final. He even reaches up to stuff part of his scarf back into his coat.]

[Weh weh weh. Why didn't this work?? Maybe he wasn't a sad enough face. Inumuta's pathetic frown drops, and then hardens back to a real frown, and his eyes narrow. His real feelings towards the situation and not an act.]

...Fine. But I expect a birthday present, if you're going to ruin my birthday, anyway. It's the third of January.

[Young dog? Nah, this kid is a straight up puppy. Look at him go, bark, whimper, whine. The most natural progression he has ever seen, bless. What an endearing little shithead.]

You're a Capricorn, too? [He seriously sounds ready to follow that up with "get out of town!" Look at him go, relating to the youth. He's so happy with this development, he can really work with it.] The goat has a fish tail, I'm—how are you with boat rides? No wireless, no virtual anything that's not necessary... [Is his potential birthday getting worse? Will is testing some waters right now, speaking so quickly it sounds like he is earnest and excited.] ...know a guy who has a glass-bottom boat, amazing set up—he owes me a favor, I'm gonna call it in.

[Is that a fucking flip phone? Well, duh. Yes. Yes it is. And Will's pulling it out with a smile as he starts to meander on by. Nothing to see here, no harmless life ruining going on.]

I'll be back to make sure nobody outbids me, don't worry. See you for your birthday, then?

[What now, pup. What now.]

[I'm going to throw up all over your boat is what Inumuta thinks to himself as Will begins to get ready to leave. Very much like a spoiled brat, isn't he? But yes, he is a Capricorn as well. He doesn't, however, bond over this fact. He knows Will is intentionally rubbing it in, mentioning the lack of wireless. Jokes on you, he's got an endless 4G data plan. Also he's mentally connected to the internet, via his own powers. Don't worry, he'll find ways to ignore you, Will.]

See you.

[Shit-eater, he keeps to himself.]
