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.

I know you do, Winry.

[She's always better with people than he is. Not that Ed doesn't like mingling and meeting new people himself but he's often much more blunt and doesn't always necessarily go about things in the best way when he does try to help. He doesn't mean to be such a brat, he's just irritable and worried right now given Winry's involvement in this charity dating thing.]

And of course I know about the food. It's the reason I let you drag me out here.

[But then he's quiet, letting Winry answer Simon's questions herself rather than butting in.]

[Winry gave Ed a quick smile - she knows how hard it is for him to want to attend these things. He can be kind, but he's more often prickly.]

We've been here since June. [She waves a hand between Ed and her.] It's been...different than what I'm used to. [Ed, of course, has had all sorts of adventures.]

I hope we can find out things by coming to events.

[Or Alphonse, but she's not going to say that where Ed can hear. She knows how much he misses his brother.]

[ Simon nods as he listens, and thinks the two are probably really close. ]

Both of you are from the same one? The same, uh... time, too?

[ He didn't know how to put the whole business with people coming from different times; after all, he was the only one here from his world. And he hoped that it'd stay that way. ]

Yeah, been here a while by now, I guess. In comparison to some, even if others have been here way longer from the sounds of things.

[There's a shrug before he considers for a moment. Winry saying this is different, because it is. She's not supposed to be dragged into this stuff along with him. The closest back home was Briggs and even then that didn't last as long as intended when she escaped the military's clutches and got back home.]

The time thing is....weird. But more or less? I think we are.

[personal profile] hands4healing 2014-12-28 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Winry nods in response to Ed's statement.] If not the exact same time, close to it. [Her face crimps for the slightest second, then smooths out. She's pretty sure she was dying at the time she was brought here.]

What about you? Where are you from? [Because let's turn the questions back to you, Simon.]
somethinghidden: (certainly piqued my interest)

Sorry for lateness, been on hiatus and will still be until next week

I've only been here for roughly a month, and from the looks of things, it's been... uneventful for the most part. Which is good.

[ Because it's nice to get by with little to no incident. But it's worth commenting... ]

Though I'd heard things were somewhat turbulent before I'd arrived. I remember at the last swear-in, which was my first, really... that there was all manner of media and press and things. Lots of them. Something about bombings and other threats. But I haven't really seen or heard anything since getting here.
