What this essentially means is that on June 29th, as the capstone event for the Summer Festival, there will be a dating auction.  Various volunteers will sign up to be auctioned off as potential dates. The money used for the auction will pay for the date in question, and there will be three packages offered (basically: fancy dinner; "fun" date involving movies or bowling; "outdoorsy" date involving skating, horseback riding, or something along those lines).

Anyone who is a Bellefonte Student (this includes college students) can volunteer to be auctioned off. Only students can do any bidding (no teachers, because creepy). The prom court (Beau LaRoux, Elizabeth Edison, Francois Laffont, and Luxanna Viera) will all be auctioned off. They have no choice.

Ideally, this would allow some people to act on ships they have and/or to attempt to throw some wrenches into preexisting ships. So we're asking people to consider potential for fun and drama when offering up people to participate in this.

When it comes down to the actual event, each of the characters will get a separate thread wherein they can be bid upon. There will be an auctioneer (likely a character run by a staff member) who will be there to help moderate. Everyone who volunteers will be bid on (it might be Frank Cox; you have been warned).

So if you're interested, please PM Fate (This account, the one posting this), with your character and letting me know you'll be up for it. Feel free to add any additional instructions you'd like. And if you've any questions, feel free to ask them here (so we can get them all sorted out and junk).

Also, if you'd like your character to volunteer another, that is also possible. I'd ask to make sure their controller is okay with it. (This way you can put your shy character up for auction and have it make sense IC, and no, it's not just an excuse so we can put up some of you for auction; we'd never be that transparent, that is just so unlike us).

Okay, so this was technically supposed to begin yesterday, but we're probly gonna bump it up IC time till this weekend, 'cuz the fourth. I'll be putting up the Auction threads in the next few days. There will be one big thread that has a "listing" of everyone who's up for auction, then an individual thread for each person being auctioned off (so we don't have to pressure anybody, and yes, yes that does mean a lotta threads).

If you're interested in signing up your character, or you have someone who might wanna be an auctioneer, there's still time to lemme know before we get this started.
