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.

[ He looks her up and down. ]

Maybe -- you sure sound like one. If it's bids you want, you should try bribing me instead.
hands4healing: (Why do I put up with this?)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2014-12-21 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Why should I bribe you?
mantlepieces: (upgrading to friend-zone)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2014-12-31 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you don't want a total dud as a date, do you?

[ Clearly a trick question. ]
hands4healing: (Bzuh?)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-01 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Do you know any of her friends, Reggie?]

I'd like to have someone nice.

[Take that as you will.]
mantlepieces: (a mean girls classic)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-02 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not really, no... ]

I'm plenty nice. You just gotta get to know me.

[ That's how it works! ]
hands4healing: (Thinky thoughts)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-03 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh...huh.]

Well, then you can go bid on me, and I'll have a chance to get to know you!

[That's how it works, Reggie.]
mantlepieces: ((... in bed))

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-03 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
... I'll think about it.

[ Truth is that he doesn't have a whole lot of money, so... ]

If I'm spending money, it's gotta be worth it.
hands4healing: (Evil Laugh)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-03 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm worth it.

[You have no idea, Reggie.

...besides, she'd rather go out with anyone than Kimblee.]
mantlepieces: (nice try barbie)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-04 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maybe next time, Winry. You... do intrigue him. ]

Yeah, I definitely want to date a girl who might cut my leg off so she can build me a new one.
hands4healing: (Lecturing Ed)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-04 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd only cut off your leg if you have enough money to pay for an automail replacement. Besides, you have to be prepared for the rehabilitation and the pain - the rehab lasts about three years, though I know someone who had an arm and a leg replaced and got through his rehabilitation in a year!
mantlepieces: that I don't work on!! (excuse me for having huge flaws)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-12 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ You're just too much woman for him, Winry. 2Intense, 2Real. ]

As someone with all his body in perfect working order, I'm planning on keeping it that way. [ At least until the next time he gets his ass kicked. ] "Intact" isn't really your type, huh?
hands4healing: (I approve!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-13 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I see a person as a whole, regardless of what might be missing!

[Sorry, Reggie.]
mantlepieces: ((... in bed))

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-14 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. Just don't get overeager if they aren't missing anything. You might scare people off that way.

[ He smirks uneasily. ]

Not me, but other guys.
hands4healing: (Automail is so wonderful!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-15 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
But I have to inform people about how wonderful automail is! Some might want a better arm or leg.

[Only partially joking. Maybe.]
mantlepieces: (nice try barbie)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-15 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing's going to beat the real thing. You oughta get that in your head first.

[ In Reggie's mind, it's her main flaw. Or "flaw." Whatever one wants to call it. ]
hands4healing: (Talk to the hand!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-15 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I know a lot of people back home who'd disagree!

[The soldiers, mainly, who wanted weaponized automail. Ed still complains about his.]
mantlepieces: (that's so 2003 old-meme)

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-21 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously?

[ That's something he just doesn't get, but he isn't sure she strikes him as the type to just make something up to win an argument. So... seriously? That's a thing? ]

Sounds pretty weird, where you come from. But hey -- I wouldn't hold it against you. [ A pause. ] I might not be bidding today, but I can always clear a night for you if your company turns out to be dull like a rusted tin can.
hands4healing: (Whut you say?)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-21 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously. [Winry nods.]

Well. [Not quite smiling at the idea of going on a date with Reggie. And imagining Ed's reaction.]

I guess we'll have to see how this date goes, huh?
mantlepieces: (I'm being "supportive")

[personal profile] mantlepieces 2015-01-22 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Guess so. Not as good as one with me, probably.

[ He raises his eyebrow, but manages a smug, albeit faint, smirk. Reggie is nothing if not persistent at times. And presumptuous. How much of that is sincere and how much is posturing, only he knows. ]

But maybe I'll be hearing from you again sometime. Seems likely.
hands4healing: (Simple smile)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-01-22 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not.

[Winry's honest; a date with Ed would probably involve whining. And who knew who else might win if he didn't put a bid on for her.]

I'd like that, Reggie!
