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.

Rude. Kit bids 600, and steps her death glare up a notch for this wannabe hacker douchebag.

Legion notes the bidding, and contacts their agent. A CONDOR private, pretending to be a semi-rich socialite, bids 1000 under one of Legion's numerous false identities. The platform doesn't move at all.

This is getting annoying. Kit ups her bid to 1300, and orders another cocktail. She almost manages to look bored while sipping, if her eyes weren't so intently focused on Legion and the other bidders.

Candace has seen a lot of weird shit in her time, but never a robot quite like Legion. Tch, too bad they're CONDOR affiliated, what an interesting potential contestant for Who Wants to Marry A Supervillain?

Still, she's bidding on the network's budget, not hers. And someone else seems to be pretty into trying to get the winning bid.

Candace raises the bid to $1500, and winks at Kit, blowing a huge bubble with her gum.

Candace's phone suddenly decides to spend a few minutes doing its best Blue Screen of Death impression.

Kit raises to $1800. It's important to keep cool. She's got plenty of money and plenty of time.

Who needs cell phones when you have the possibility of a hot robot date?

Candace raises to $2000, and looks insufferably smug about the whole deal.

It's for a good cause, after all.

Kit glares even harder at Candace, and waves at the auctioneer to raise to $2400. This is her robot date, god damn it.
