1.1 date auction log

1.1: Date Auction

Well hey there guys, gals, and non-binary pals (as well as creatures and beings that have no adherence to the human concept of gender)! Would you look at that? It sure is time for Dodo’s Doki Doki Date Auction!!

Ballroom Bliss

On this fine evening, step through a doorway, any doorway at all, and find yourself whisked off to a lovely ballroom. What’s that? You’ve never seen this room in Dodo House before? Don’t worry about it! The clouds painted upon the ceiling move gently overhead, and the blue skies will shift beautifully through the phases of the sky, all the way from dusk to dawn and back again. While you’ve been whisked away in the clothes you were wearing prior, maybe you didn’t intend to come to the event at all! If that’s the case, and you’re not dressed, there appears to be a lovely magical coat check at the entrance. You may peruse through the offerings of seemingly limitless clothes to change, or you may get abducted by an especially eager coat rack, now sentient in its reach and pushiness.

Aside from the ceiling mural, many white decorations grace the space. Though as the night goes on, there will be a few bubbles that seem to manifest out of nowhere–little pockets of excess energy carrying all of Dodo’s hopes and dreams, perhaps? Growing into contact with one might invite any number of behaviors, including but not limited to:

» Everyone’s a Critic: During the Date Auction blurbs, maybe you just have a really strong opinion on them! Have something to say about someone’s fashion sense? Do you remember making out with that guy on stage and feel like everyone needs to know he’s only a 3/10? The people deserve to know!

» With Whose Money? You’re into bidding now. Like, really into bidding. Maybe you don’t have the money for the bid and actually want to bid something else, like the promise of a long romantic cruise despite the fact that the ports are closed or a candlelit dinner complete with a watching of The Goofy Movie. How could you not win with bets like those?

» At First Sight: A little brush against the bubble and–pop! The next person you see suddenly makes the lights dim, the music swell, the part of your heart that yearns to be known leap out of your ribcage and into their waiting hands. It’s your K-Drama moment. Seize it.

All Bubble Effects can last as long as players would like! However all effects will clear once they exit the ballroom.


Under the Spotlight

Of course, can’t forget the reason that you’re all here in the first place! One by one, characters will be called up to the center stage at the front of the room. Behind them, a Powerpoint Presentation in Comic Sans explaining who they are will pitch them as a date. (You know the ones.) This information can include their Name, AU Life Facts, OU Life Facts, Likes, Dislikes, Ideal Date - whatever you dream of. However, the announcer will also provide crowdsourced blurbs introducing them. Without further ado, please read them all here! At the end of blurb reading, the microphone will be passed over to the auctionee. Anything you'd like to say on your behalf?

What a magical night.

The Morning After

Regardless of the outcome of the date auctions, characters may find themselves with a dainty corsage of white flowers... which won't come off. But getting rid of these floral bands is simple: find the person with a matching corsage, and go on a date together!

"Date" is an exaggeration, though. Spending some time together, whether it's immediately after the auction or in the days after, will count. Then the corsage will slip right off! Ignore it though, and it'll set off allergies you didn't even know you had.

OOCly, these are your randomized dates, but players are welcome to go on additional dates and plan their own outings based on the date auction as well!

[ I. YAYWON MADE ME DO THIS, ALSO YOU'RE ALL MY ENEMY ]

[being called up on stage and expected to stand still is truly hell on earth for buzen, and it shows in the way that he’s still constantly in motion even during his segment. when the second announcer falls to their knees, buzen rushes over to offer his hand to help them up!

when the seventh (why are there even seven) announcer mentions lifting his shirt - he plucks at the hem of the crop top he’s wearing and seems amused. there’s not much shirt left to lift… who dressed him because he sure didn’t pick this out for himself

at the end of it all, he takes the mic as offered and seems more bewildered than anything else]


Wow! [just… wow!] Thanks! I think! Ah… Am I really that dog-like? I guess I can bark now.

[why would you bid on this buffoon, why would you subject yourself to that]

[ II. WHAT'S A BID? ]

[he’s clearly excited to be off the stage. but it does mean that he's now in the crowd, susceptible to any pop of bubbles - including the one that makes him jump up at the chance to bid on literally whoever is on stage right now - maybe that's you! it's an impulse and he's following it]

Oh! Me! Let's go on a date!

[the earnest confession of a man with not a single thought in his head. he doesn't even know what a date is. when prompted to ask what he's bidding, he looks confused for a second before just grinning and promising too readily - ]

Oh, I don't know, whatever you want. I don't have much money, but I'm up for anything you'd like.

[please stop him before he lands himself in trouble. or don't.]

[ WILDCARD ]

[ let's do literally anything! i think a kdrama love at first sight moment would be funny and a delight to thread but i won't surprise anyone with it - but feel free to ask and i'll write a starter. every kind of shenanigan welcome! feel free to pm or hit up my plotting comment to hash things out ]

[ bruh.

eustace doesn't say anything because like, none of that was worth commenting on, but unfortunately for him, the outfit the unrelenting coat check has shoved him into means that the abs are fully on display. i hope yuul is fucking happy now. ]

[ Kaito turns his narrowed gaze to the crime girl.

Slowly lifts his gloved hand.

Slowly conjures a glob of sea green-colored slime over his palm. ]


A compliment, huh, Tohsaka?

A. Auctionee

[The presentation behind Roland as he stands in the center of the stage is relatively sparse, starting with The Roland, cheery social worker by day and solemn monk by night and ultimately ending with Conceal, don't feel.

While that's bizzare in and of itself, the announcements bewilder him more. Killer playwrights? What are skrunkly and Rapunzel? He can brighten days? Cute? Suffering is affectionate? His hand absently hovers over his abdomen at the mention of abs. After the mic is passed his way, he holds onto it for a long, awkward moment.
]

. . . I'm sorry. I've no words . . .

B. Bubble(s)

[Wildcard. Pick this prompt and receive a random (or stated) bubble effect! Old and new CR are both welcome.]

C. Corsage

[The morning after, Roland dabs at puffy, reddened eyes with a handkerchief. He pauses when someone enters his line of sight and lifts his head, lowering the hand holding the handkerchief and sporting the corsage of white flowers, with a small smile.]

Is there aught I can do for you?

[ how did i already forget that buzen is in his sexy crop top

but also? that's the realest thing he's heard anyone say all night. ]


If some of these announcers are to be believed, some of the people present qualify under that heading.

[ I. THE BIDDEN... EN.... NING ]

[ Sophia looks incredibly confused but game enough when she takes the stage, though the confusion certainly doesn't fade as the announcers start talking. About her, apparently. Still, she's bouncing lightly on her heels, as ever, and when they hand her the microphone, she says, very earnestly-- ]

Thank you very much, but I don't require mortal possessions. I've never been on a date either, but I can most certainly help plan one if you'd like!

However, I am not a baby. Thank you, I will take questions now.

[ that's not how this goes--well, fine?? ]


[ II. She Knows You ]

[ The good part about being an AI is that you're equipped to retain a lot of helpful (citation needed) information. The bad part about being an AI (for everyone else) is that Sophia has managed to memorize all of those helpful little blurbs and if you make eye contact with her or even brush past her, she is absolutely going to prattle one of said blurbs, word for word, and-- ]

That referred to you, correct?


[ III. BIDDINGADINADING THE SEQUEL ]

[ Hi. She bonked into a bubble. And as the bidding begins, she blurts out... ]

I will allow you to floof me with an agreed-upon time limit! I am aware of what floofing is now, and while I will usually deny it, this time is fine!

[ Ma'am. ]


[ IV. Wildcard ]

[ Literally anything, I love chaos and I love cute, let's be disasters. ]

[ wait wait, what's happening suddenly. instinctively he's holding his hand up, STOPSTOPSTOP. it's bad enough to be one stage but help. Peace, is being held in his other arm, staring grumpily at everything with angy keurueruru sounds. ]

W-Wait, don't just start offering at the first chance you get! You need to think it over!!

[ there is some confusion here because his emotions are in a weird back-and-forth flip here, weirdly enough. no, nono go back ]

Or rather, don't bid at all! These kinds of things are a trap! Save your money!!!

[i'm harmed every additional tag even tho buzen is shameless

but he just laughs at that, easy-going as ever... the announcers were right]


Haha, are you teasing me? I still think I've got a long ways to go before I bring as much immediate joy as a dog can. I'll try my best though!

[aw he's so thoughtful... but buzen just looks confused and amused in equal measure. he's always some kind of bewildered about what's going on, but his next statement seems so certain!]

Huh? Why would I do that? You're the one that I want, Jin.

[wow]
hasteful: (➛ should this be the last thing i see)

[personal profile] hasteful 2023-03-17 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
