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.

Dirk is completely oblivious to any conversations that are or are about to be taking place. He walks straight up to Lightline, confident that he will be recognized despite not being in costume. It's a shitty disguise no matter what Jake says. "Hey."

"Good afternoon."

Tron answered on instinct, turning away from the other group and give the kid his full attention. At which point he recognized the shades.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you go by Timeaus correct?"

"Yeah, that's me. Don't let anyone hear you say that though." Shitty disguise or not, Jake would be pretty pissed if anyone found them out. "So what are you doing here? You're not up for auction I guess? Doing any bidding? Here for the free food?" Those were appropriate questions, right?

"I came primarily to speak with some of the other attendees, though I have considered bidding on some of the heroes. It's not exactly common for you vigilantes to step forward."

He gestured toward the stage, where a number of teen heroes were waiting awkwardly.

"I'm assuming you turned down the opportunity to participate in this event as well."
sick_heartbeats: dirk, in the middle of speaking, looking sort of pissed off or indignant (angry)

"Yeah, not really my thing." Dirk looks over at the stage, trying to seem aloof, but he ends up glaring at it. "I'd probably just end up scaring my date off and they'd want a refund. Even though asking for a refund from charity is a shitty thing to do. I'm sure they'd make an exception. The whole thing would be a waste of everyone's time." He stops talking abruptly, realizing how angry his voice was getting.

He noticed the kid getting flustered, but mostly pegged it on the understandably uncomfortable situation.
"I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad. You couldn't do any worse than some of the Trailblazers up there, trust me."

He glanced over the stage, the first time tonight he had given the group of heroes his full attention.
"Are you familiar with any of the other heroes?"

[personal profile] sick_heartbeats 2014-03-06 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Trust me. I could. I wouldn't even have to try."

He looks away from the stage. "Yeah, the dork in the skeleton getup is my best bro. I guess you know a lot of people here?"

"A fair number, though not as many as you might think. I usually leave that job to the Alpha Force staff, rather than myself."

"Your friend, what's his name?"

"Golgothas. I mean, obviously that's not his real name, but he'd get on my case if I let you know his secret identity or whatever. He takes the whole superhero gig pretty seriously." Dirk nods towards the stage, still not looking at it. "I guess that's why he's up there now. I probably should have joined him, since it's for a good cause and all."
thisisntagame: icon from corpsefluid (Haha)

Tron couldn't help raising an eyebrow, with an instigating smirk.
"I thought you said your participation would be a disaster."

[personal profile] sick_heartbeats 2014-03-15 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Dirk says. He knows he's not making any sense, but a proper explanation would require revealing more about himself than he was comfortable with - especially after his earlier ranting.

Besides, he came over here for distraction. "So why aren't you up there?"
thisisntagame: (Normal)

[personal profile] thisisntagame 2014-03-17 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Tron shrugged.

"I have better things to do than entertain, and with so many heroes publicly announced as otherwise engaged, I intend to be on patrol that evening."
sick_heartbeats: dirk looking like he's thinking about something (thinking)

[personal profile] sick_heartbeats 2014-03-17 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"...That's a good idea." Why didn't Dirk think of that? "Maybe I'll go patrolling myself. It's not like I have anything better to do."

"Right now the city could use all the support from heroes it can get. Though I wouldn't let some of these CONDOR agents in on your plan."

He nodded in the general direction of the room, where a couple agents were noticeably watching the crowd.

"What, you think they'd try and stop me?" Dirk looks around the room too. "Are they always so uptight?"
thisisntagame: (Stern Fatherly Disapproval)

[personal profile] thisisntagame 2014-03-23 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, it is technically a criminal offense to patrol the streets as an unregistered civilian hero." It wasn't hard to catch the note of disdain at the idea, it was no secret Tron wasn't the biggest supporter of a law that preventing people from taking the initiative to help others.
sick_heartbeats: dirk smiling (smile)

[personal profile] sick_heartbeats 2014-03-23 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but does anyone actually enforce that law? I've never run into any trouble because of it." In truth, Dirk thought the prospect of having to dodge the law was pretty exciting. But the law always seemed to have better things to do.

[personal profile] thisisntagame 2014-03-29 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
"If there are they're probably here. Easier to spot unregistered heroes when they show up for you. But I don't think it's a popular sentiment."

"I'll take my chances." It was way better than staying here being pissy all day. Maybe he'd even feel better after he got some exercise. "Catch you later, then."

"Another time, Timeaus," Tron gave this kid a loose salute before wandering back to the group he had originally been waiting to speak to.
