WHO: OPEN.

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.

[Kay gasps, a hand flying to her mouth - DRAMATICALLY.]

What? It's a kind of cake - chocolate, with cream inside, and rolled up into a roll! [She looks so astounded.] You're missing half your life!
sassguard: (damn i'm hot)

[ Her expression almost makes Shepard feel bad. Almost. ]

Sounds fancy. [ And tasty... ] I usually only had cake on special occasions when I was growing up. Alliance wasn't exactly what you'd call luxurious.
yatagarasu: (PUMPED ☄ how much energy does she have)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-23 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well...Christmas is coming, and it's a special occasion! You should have a Swiss roll while you're here!

[She sounds eager and excited to make him try one and see his reaction.]

[ He can't quite comprehend why she's so excited over baked goods, but -- ]

I'll try anything once. [ And okay, it does sound good. ]
yatagarasu: (GRIN ☄ hid gummy's instant noodles)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-24 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Great! There are some cafes around that make really good Swiss rolls.

[They're the best baked goods ever.]

You could take your date to one of those cafes!
sassguard: (what are you waiting for?)

[personal profile] sassguard 2014-12-29 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I will. [ Shepard snorts, laughing. ]

It'll depend on whether they actually like Swiss Rolls, though.
yatagarasu: (PUMPED ☄ how much energy does she have)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-29 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
You should find out! [She says it like it's so easy.]
sassguard: (Default)

[personal profile] sassguard 2014-12-29 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not even going to know who I'm going out with until the end of the night. Isn't there a saying ... don't count your chickens before they're hatched?

[ As if Shepard's ever seen a live chicken. Spaaace, man. ]
yatagarasu: (POUT ☄ stop giving me that look)

[personal profile] yatagarasu 2014-12-29 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...right. [Kay deflates accordingly.] But sooner or later, you'll find out anyway...
sassguard: (redeeming graces cast aside)

[personal profile] sassguard 2014-12-29 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's just about time to move on, though, so Shepard straightens, flashing Kay a quick smile. ]

Tell you what -- send me the address of one of those cafes, and when I find out who I've got to take out, I'll ask them if they're interested in going. Sound good?

[Kay nods, giving him a thumbs up.]

Good idea!
