SUMMARY: A date auction! The auction booklet is here for your perusal.
WARNINGS: If there are any, we’ll update. ♥
STATUS: In progress!S CLOSE @ 12AM EST 3/17ING IS CLOSED
DOORS OPEN PROMPTLY AT 6PM allowing both AUCTION VOLUNTEERS and BIDDERS alike to enter the ballroom and mingle, chat, relax, and, of course, claim paddles and the best seats. In order to make sure that people remain in a cheerful and happy mood, each guest over the age of 21 is given a flute of champagne upon entry. Under-21s are offered soda or sparkling cider. KAE QADAR takes the sparkling cider, but quickly switches it out with HARRISON MONTGOMERY’s champagne. Sorry not sorry. Once inside the ballroom, a cheerful woman hands out the AUCTION BOOKLETS so that everyone has a chance to peruse their options beforehand. ASH ELLINGTON reads it cover to cover, earmarking the person (or people!) they want to bid on. At half-past the hour, NICHOLE SCOTT asks all AUCTION VOLUNTEERS to join her backstage. Once everyone is gathered, she explains how the evening will work. AUCTION VOLUNTEER 4 asks if they can dance do their song, and she says yes, they can. AUCTION VOLUNTEER 5 has a last minute song change, which is vetoed. Meanwhile, in the auditorium, SOFÍA HERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ decides to hit up the bar and buys a round for VOLUNTEER 7, who happens to walk by at the right time. NICHOLE SCOTT APPEARS ON THE STAGEpromptly at 7pm, welcoming the crowd and explaining how the evening will work. It’s pretty basic - raise your paddle and call out your bid. She explains that heckling and catcalling are absolutely not permitted, and anyone who does it will be removed from the ballroom. You can only bid if you are the correct gender and within the right age group. With that part out of the way, the bidding begins! The highlights of the evening include: AUCTION VOLUNTEER 8 turns the stage into their own personal catwalk. Deciding that the rules were really just guidelines, VOLUNTEER 12 tries their luck at catcalling and are promptly thrown out. VOLUNTEER 13 and VOLUNTEER 14 get into a friendly bidding war over AUCTION VOLUNTEER OF THEIR CHOICE. Once bidding is concluded, NICHOLE SCOTT thanks everyone for their participation and informs the winning bidders to please follow her into a little side room where their information will be taken and quick background check will be done. For anyone who wants to hang around, a playlist was prepared by VOLUNTEER 15 so that people can dance afterwards. |
