Week Six: Friday
Who: ANYONE AND EVERYONE
Where: Heaven
When: Friday Night
What: Charity Date Auction

Eva was something beyond excited. It fluttered about her with nervous energy. If she were out in the open water no doubt there would have been small eddies forming around her in response to the energy she gave off with each and every breath as she hurried about Heaven getting all the last finishing touches done on her crowning achievement. Eva had done her fair share of party planning over the years at Halcyon, she loved being in the mix helping set a mood. And let's face it the girl loved a party... especially a theme party.

But this was something more. It was something that had been entirely her idea. Born of... who the hell knew where but it did put together all her favorite things. Flirting, dating, runway shows, Heaven... the list really could go on. Even in her egotistical glory Eva knew that she couldn't have completed this event without the girls that had volunteered to help out. Taylor, Sam and Frankie had been fantastic, picking up on all the things that Eva was horrible at... you know like the practical aspects of the whole event.

The night had a beach theme as was befitting the charity chosen for the evening and Eva couldn't have been happier. Heaven had been decked out, Vale's assistant proved to be more than helpful at helping her organize the decorations and getting the staff to help out. A runway had been constructed with a podium at the back where Eva planned to do her auctioning from. Tropical plants lined the runway for the dates to strut their stuff along. Eva was almost jealous that she wasn't doing any strutting herself and with the outfit she'd donned for the night... she felt like she could. Perhaps not traditionally beach themed but it was a swimming suit... of sorts and as the auctioneer she thought she needed to glam it up and set herself a part a little.

But when didn't Eva think she needed to set herself a part from the crowd.

Eva exchanged a few last words with the bartenders for the night, making sure that mai tais and other tropical drinks were the order for the night. She wove her way through the tables that had been set up a bit aside from the runway, brightly colored umbrellas over them to add to the theme. She ensured that there was plenty of food ready for people attending and finally she made sure that man at the door was ready to take the $10 dollar cover charge. It was for a charity after all!

Now all she had to do was make sure that the meat er... the dates were ready for their big night!

Behind the scenes - for those being auctioned

Behind the runway, a curtain had been thrown up that served to provide a barrier from the crowd (that had better arrive) and the room for those participating. There were mirrors set up for any final primping and preening that anyone needed to do. Or maybe flexing in Charlie's case? Eva had made sure that each and everyone participating got a drink or three of their choice, a waitress was assigned to specifically cover the back area. After all it might take a little bit of liquid courage to actually make those first few steps out onto the cat walk.

The sound of people arriving added to the buzz of electricity that the whole night had. Or maybe that was just Eva who felt that way about it all. She poked her head in occasionally making sure everyone was taken care of and to go over some of their finer points so she could be sure to sell them properly when they made their debut on the other side of the curtains.

The day had been filled with work at the club. Vale gave word that he would handle the decorations and see to it that everything was ready to go and he held true to his words. Of course workers at the club were eager to help out, they loved themes and never minded some event that nearly took over the club both above and below. Below hadn’t been part of the deal no, but Vale felt the urge to make it…match in a fashion. Consider it the…darker side of the sea if you will. That was of course where Vale had lingered most of the day…enjoying his time and discussing certain matters with his assistant and a particular two until night came around and it was time to see to the event.

It took no liquid courage for Vale to get on a stage and slither however but that did not mean he was sober when he finally arrived backstage well after most others. No in fact numerous drugs coursed through his veins and more then a bit of fae dust from his favorite faes that were more then willing to help make his scaled flesh truly shimmer under the lights. Of course the three had not quite understood the need for clothes for the night...clothes were constrictive articles, so pointless when one had a form that was far from unpleasant to look at.

Still Vale had a business to run and did have to deal with the teachers at the school who were far too...uptight at times. So eventually he'd dressed before arriving up in Heaven where the snake visited far less then Hell. Of course he did not wear much however. He was not exactly a man that most would think board shorts for. No everything the snake wore formed right to the flesh and tonight was no exception to that.

It covered enough and though nearly all wouldn't be able to pull it off Vale did perfectly.

Workers buzzed about him as he made his way back stage. Eager to get him drinks or this or that. Vale dismissed them however; he was fine as he was. Willing to simply lounge and wait, watching the others being auctioned off rush about trying to make themselves look perfect. They had care on how high someone bid...Vale did not.

Confidence was an attractive trait and Vale quite obviously had more then a bit of it. It was a bit difficult to not when one constantly had women at their side. Vale simply knew how to appreciate them and they realized that. There was a line between confidence and arrogance...Vale had no need to boast, he was old enough now that he didn't need the ego stroking to keep him going.

And so he arrived, taking place to a couch behind stage with a few workers at his side "working" to keep him entertained until the show began.

Pre-Auction milling and chit chat

The doors opened to the auction and anyone with the $10 cover charge was more than welcome to make their way into the tropical wonderland created by Eva and her team of helpers. Hours of work had been put into the set up for the night and they all hoped that it would be worth the effort. Of course it would be!

The bar was fully stocked (as always) tropical drinks were ready and waiting with little umbrella's too boot. Appetizers were making their rounds. Someone had called it a poopoo platter? Eva had no idea but that did sound disgusting. She had been assured though that it was tropical and fit the theme perfectly. As long as she didn't have to eat any poo, it was alright.

Now it was just time to let everyone arrive and get comfortable before the festivities began in full.

Pre-Auction milling and chit chat

A date auction, now this was something Valeria could get into. Call it a slave auction and she'd like it even more. Though what kind of serious funds they hoped to generate when the cover was a measly $10 she didn’t know. Oh well, they’d need to make up for it in the auction itself.

Were these drinks and appetizers a part of that $10 cover? Surely it didn’t cover the cost. Leave it to Vale to so selfless give all of himself to the effort. And what was this? He was also on the auctioning block? Interesting. Terribly so.

And what have we here? Charlie Burghard. My my my, this little fund raiser was just getting more and more interesting. Val walked about, wine glass in hand, watching the busy milling about, though not initiating small talk with anyone. More, she was taking them all in, learning a bit about the students at Halcyon. Eventually a beautiful, confident young woman took the stage. Hmm… she bared quite a strong resemblance to Valeria.

Interesting indeed.

The Auction!

Lights, Camera, Action... or rather makeup check, lights, microphone. Those were the essentials for getting this auction going as far as Eva was concerned. She'd waited as long as her entire lack of patience would allow. People were milling and enjoying themselves, it was time to get this show on the road and see the fruit of all their labors.

And have a little fun.

Eva, going for the dramatic, had the lights turned down abruptly. What better way to get everyone's attention than to throw it all into some darkness. Please, everyone had a great vision... well most everyone but she had a hard time counting those mostly human people. Boooring. A long spotlight hit the center of the curtains where the opening had been placed and Eva emerged, microphone in hand and playful grin permanently etched into her features.

"I don't think I need any introduction but just in case..." Eva tossed the curtains closed behind her. "I'm Eva and I'm going to be the master of," she gave a little wink to the audience, "ceremonies tonight. We have a whole room full of sexy ladies and studly men for all you big spenders out there to get your hands on." Eva's black heels clicked against the stage as she made her way towards the podium. "But before I can let you get your wallets and your blood pumping... we do have some ground rules." Always the boring stuff first. "First and foremost, I know all you dirty boys and girls wish it but a date does NOT constitute an escort if you know what I mean." Eva's nose crinkled up a bit with a laugh. "Second, tonight we do have a maximum for those of you that just can't stand to see your lady or gentleman of choice go to anyone else. $500 dollars!" Her eyebrows arching up a she gave the amount. Yes please, everyone should go for that! "And finally, have fun and let's raise some money for Charity!"

She finished off the opening formalities with a round of applause as background music started to come into play and the spotlight moved to the curtains once again.

Charity wasn't typically her type of thing, so whatever had driven her to participate in the fucking auction she couldn't say. She liked the beach, cool shit happened there, might as well try and save it or whatever right? Plus it was something to do and she really hadn't made any plans for the night, so might as well give it a shot. Hell, she'd even donned her favorite polka dot bikini for her first ever strut down the runway. And of course, leave it to J to find a playmate to take down the stage with her. Leave the girl alone for five minutes in a bar and she'd have her own fleet of groupies, just wait.

Eventually things got underway and it was her turn strut her stuff. Sure the thing was cheesy, but everyone seemed to understand that, seemed to be having a damn good time with it. She took to the runway, her little playmate applauding loudly just off-stage. The music was loud, thumping overhead and everyone seemed into things so far - always a good sign. Jaida made it to the end of the makeshift runway and struck a playful little pose before turning to head back.

Oh yes, let the bidding begin!

Charlie was waiting patiently behind the curtains, watching as Jaida took her turn on the catwalk. He heard bids shouted in the distance, and it made him grin. Standing next to Kalli, he made idle chatter with her, but he was listening carefully for just how much money Jaida managed to rake in. She was definitely his best friend at Halcyon, which meant he was feeling highly competitive. Jaida was stunning and fun to be around, so he expected her to fetch a fair bit of money, but Charlie was confident he could bring in more moolah.

Soon enough, her time on the auction block was done, and it was Charlie's turn. He gave Kalli's ass a pinch, and flashed her a smile with a wink before stepping through the curtains. Wearing simple boardshorts and a pair of flip flops on his feet, Charlie walked out onto the makeshift runway. He actually had to shield his eyes as the spotlight gazed down upon him, making it difficult to see who was looking up at him from the audience.

Charlie walked with confidence, as always. As he reached the end of the catwalk, he made sure to give the ladies a good look at his muscles, flexing his arms, making his pecks jump, and giving a roll of his abs. Charlie had the goods, might as well show them off!
