CELEBRITY SINGLES AUCTION: THE ACTUAL POST

Who: Anybody either letting themselves be auctioned or interested in bidding in the CELEBRITY SINGLES AUCTION
Where: LA city hall
When: NOW ! (Afternoon on February 5th!)
What: CELEBRITY SINGLES AUCTION (FOR CHARITY)
Warnings: Nothing yet!

The hall where the auction is due to take place is all decked out in pink, white and red Valentine's decorations – hearts everywhere, the odd glittery cupid. Probably someone is selling appropriately decorated cupcakes. At the far end is the stage, where each CELEBRITY SINGLE in turn will have their hand in DATE auctioned off to the highest bidder.

SO HERE'S HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK:

- Tag in with your character/NPC if they're offering themselves up in the name of DATE CHARITY. Include a little bit about what kind of public image they have, especially if they're an NPC.
- If you have a character or NPC who wants to bid on other character/s, reply to them with your character's bid – just the amount of their bid is fine, it doesn't have to be a Full Actual Tag or anything!
- If your character has been definitively outbid, though, make sure you reply to say so, rather than leaving the other bidders hanging.
- Be realistic about how much money your character has to spend on this kind of thing! This is for charity so generous donations are appreciated, of course, but not everybody is a millionaire.

The starting bid for all CELEBRITY DATES is $50.

Remember that characters who have volunteered to be auctioned as superheroes are advised do so in costume to avoid compromising their secret identities!

If you didn't already establish an NPC on the planning post for this event but you just had an idea for one that you really want to use, go ahead and do it, we do not mind.

Katniss is here, as much as she doesn't want to be. She's in full hero costume, complete with her fancy synthetic wings, though she at least made a fumbling attempt to put on some makeup earlier. Possibly she received some assistance from another Trailblazer. She has never really had to dress herself for this kind of occasion before.

Though she's been seething utter vitriol to those close to her about this all week, she's at least trying to put her smiling game face on for the rich people who are offering the poor money in exchange for an evening with her. The only reason she's here at all is that she would feel like a piece of shit if she prioritized moderate social discomfort above helping out troubled families.

She's wearing her orange tinged goggles and her long vest that flares into a bird like tail. She has her bow slung around her shoulders, though she doesn't actually have any arrows prepared for use.

She's pretty close to wanting to pop one through someone's wineglass though, and despite her attempts to remain classy, this is visible on her face from time to time.

Jon is at school, but a professional auction service rep bids 5000 dollars in his name.

Mockingjay is completely baffled by this turn of events.
