| Genessia Date Auction 2019: Plotting & Signups
When - 12:00pm January 12th, 2019
Where - Genessia City, in a hall that has been rented for the event thanks to Satou Kuroneko
A DATE AUCTION? AGAIN?
Collective groaning can be heard from the denziens of Genessia already, I'm sure. However, this one is going to be run quite a bit differently than the ones in the past! I have quite a few things planned beyond romantic dates to be auctioned off. There will also be a luncheon mingle for people to interact with each other before the auction, and then the auction proper will begin in the late afternoon.
Wait, You Said it's Different...
First, and most importantly: there will be NO forced signups this includes, but not limited to people signing up others without their express permission. I am sorry if this disappoints people, but it has been a point of contention ICly, and ICly Azura has decided not to accept registrations of this type because it was brought to her attention. Should characters seem uncomfortable or resistant then she will not let them participate. However, the structure of the auction is completely different from what it has been in the past, so those who may not have been willing to participate in a traditional auction may be more inclined to participate in this one!
Second, there will also be the option for platonic oriented, or friendship oriented dates. There will be two separate auctions for romantic and platonic should there be enough of both kinds, otherwise the kind of date up for auction will be mentioned in the dates top level when the auction begins. Speaking of "kind of date"...
Lastly, the date experience is the real show pony here. The Date themselves are the host to the experience, an added bonus. Those who sign up are encouraged to come up with a date experience to go along with themselves in order to get the money rolling in. Think an ocean themed date, with a trip to the aquarium, a dinner along the beach followed by a romantic boat ride or something more athletic like an afternoon session going fishing or snorkeling.
This will, however, involve the players who sign their characters up to come up with the date experience in this post. However I will offer help or randomization should players be completely stumped. BUT, because this is work intensive for me as the event runner, anyone who wants randomization must sign up before January 9th, 2019. Please try to come up with the experiences yourselves! Your characters will be filling out these sign ups ICly themselves, so hopefully they're putting some thought into it! Besides, they (and you!) know best what kind of date they would come up with.
REMEMBER: This is a CHARITY AUCTION. If you need motivation for your less social and romantically inclined characters, think of it as them donating their time in order to raise money for the charity!
SIGN UP RULES
(because we apparently need them)
- ROMANTIC Dates must be appropriately aged. Please do not sign up anyone younger than 16 for romantic dates. Those who sign up for romantic dates and are too young (this includes appearance, there will be no "their minds are adult" exceptions) will be removed or reorganized as a platonic date. I will contact players before doing this, should this be the case.
- PLATONIC Dates are just that, platonic. Any age may sign up, but keep the theme accompanying them appropriate. For kids, play-dates are a cute idea!

Questions/Comments & Concerns
(frozen comment) SIGNUPS
(frozen comment) no subject
Romantic/Platonic: WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE JUST ONE, GOD. But I guess we'll do romantic for funsies since I don't think he'd understand what the hell a platonic date is.
About Your Character: Oh boy. He's a BIG BUFF BURLY DUDE that likes keeping his physical condition at the highest end it can go and has a strategic mind to back it up. Also, who doesn't love aliens? Come on now.
Date Experience: Date theme would probably me more athletic oriented with some sort of sparring session followed by some kind of visit to a sauna or spa or some shit to cool down followed by a private little picnic thing in whatever the hell we have that's similar to outskirt mountain/wastelands. (Bonus if full moon for ridiculous consensual king kong nonsense.)
(frozen comment) Azura
Romantic/Platonic: Platonic
About Your Character: Our generous showrunner, Azura, has decided to participate in tonight's auction!! Standing a little taller than your average young woman, Azura is a quiet and demure young lady who has found fame here in Genessia along with undertaking the title of Fayren's Guardian! Time is precious with this one, but sure to be an experience to remember!
Date Experience: The date will start with a horseback trip into Fayren's forest where a picnic of home cooked food will be set up amongst the tall glowing shroomtrees that lay hidden deep within the forest. From there, a hike into the heights of the forest will end with berry picking to be used when they return to her home in Lakendell. There, a lesson in baking pies will be the main attraction, where the berries will be used for a personal touch. Afterwards, the date will end with a couple's massage and cleanse at her own business in Genessia. Platonic couples, of course.

About Your Character: Bedivere is a knight who fits the classic "knight in shining armor" archetype. He's handsome, refined, intelligent, polite, and kindhearted, and would gladly show a woman a wonderful time.
Date Experience: The theme would be "medieval." Bedivere would be sure to give his date a basic lesson on horseback riding, and take her for a ride with him on one of the horses in Fayren. Dinner would be at a Fayren high-class restaurant for a more authentic fantasy feel to their meal, and he would also arrange an interactive play where he must duel a rival to win her hand (though for this he might use Holodeck'd so that he can go all out if he so chooses; though it would still be perfectly safe).

About Your Character: The new Guardian of Genessia, who is cheerful and optimistic to her core. Through known for her strong work ethic and drive for training herself, even Guardians need to relax.
Date Experience: Satou will start her date by creating her date's dream outfit from magic, then proceed to have a fairly girly, fairytale-type event: With a tea party lunch in a private garden, trip to a zoo, and ending the evening with a romantic picnic under the stars. Her date can be expected to have a magical time, as Satou's magic will add a literal sparkling touch to the activities.

About Your Character: She is beauty, she is grace, she is Miss United States! An all-American patriot from the great city of Houston, bringing that Texas heat so hot like it's doused on rocket fuel, Andrea Hendricks is about to take you to the moon!
Date Experience: Starting her with a bang by fighting side by side at Nova City's Holodeck and wreaking as much havoc as possible! Or if fighting isn't your speed, how about a few laps in the race track? Then finish up the night with a relaxing trip to the spa, and a healthy meal of hamburgers and steak with a huge helping of fries.

About Your Character: A former Deputy Guardian of Genessia City who suddenly has a lot more free time on her hands, and mainly uses said free time sword training in the Holodeck'd. (Someone needs to teach her how to do other things.) Wielding the sword with the grace of a princess has earned her the title of "Sword Princess." Open-minded and lovely, she's sure to give a pleasant experience to anyone who hangs out with her.
Date Experience: Karla would be best suited for a "medieval" style date, but she's most accustomed to living in Genessia City during her time here. She'd like a nice walk in the park, a nice dinner at a nice restaurant, and who knows? Perhaps she'd enjoy a movie as well. Really, she'll likely go along with anything her partner might suggest.

About Your Character: Curiouser and curiouser! Alice Liddell is a little ball of curiosity, and by little, she's quite tiny at no more than 3'8". But don't let her size fool you! This sweet little miss would love to meet you and get to know you! Hopefully, you're up for a riddle or two and a million questions because she has all sorts for you.
Date Experience: Alice Liddell would like to invite you to a tea party in Fayren! There will be riddle games, tea she's brewed herself, and a very light lunch to be served in the comfort of a very beautiful garden! It's a wonderful chance to get to know a new friend and enjoy a nice lunch together!

About Your Character: Regal, elegant, and pristine, this princess is a real charmer. However, don't let her looks deceive you. Behind the looks of a beauty lies the attitude and soul of a true knight. As strong as she is beautiful, she's not for the faint of body or heart.
Date Experience: A high end dinner at a classy restaurant, and some light monster fighting to end the evening on.

About Your Character: A mysterious magic user who can't stay in one place for too long. His hobbies seem to include brewing tea and... Well, avoiding people so well that no one knows much else about him! V. competent and V. cool, take it from him. Don't fact check this.
Date Experience: re-steals the ocean date. Uai will take his date on a trip to the nearest Aquarium, then rent a boat to sail around Fayren's waters. Sailing appears to be among his talents list, as he'll gladly teach his platonic date what he knows about sailing a boat. Ending the platonic date with a drink on the boat and then ditching you on the dock.

About Your Character: Fayren's most noted healer and second most noted big sister figure, Konoka is a cheerful and sometimes playful young woman is always ready to lend a helping hand and give good advice. Has quite the impishness and knows how to have fun.
Date Experience: Konoka will show up dolled in a pretty dress and will start slow with a nice, scenic walk through either Fayren's safer nature areas or picnic area in Attleton... your choice! This is followed by a picnic with specially prepared bentos made by Konoka herself. But that's before something inevitably goes wrong (or goes "wrong") and the two of you need to make a daring escape. But don't worry, Konoka's more prepared and more likely to have fun with this than she looks!

Date Experience: A trip to Nova City Museum, then back to Genessia for a dinner at an upscale restaurant and a play at Genessia Center Arts Theatre to finish up the night.

About Your Character: Red hair, gold eyes, and eager to meet you! Silicon is a citizen of a desert nation and eager to see the greener grass on the other side. She’s also very insistent that she isn’t an alchemist, so... there you go, folks!
Date Experience: Everything. Silicon learned about “aquariums” and insists that you both visit. She will ask you a thousand questions about fish and water. She made a long list of fish and water related experiences to follow it up, including something called “sushi” and a “pet shop.” Expect a curiosity driven date with a high energy girl!
