The Exotic Hawaiian Coed! [DA]

[Fate]

People bustled about, getting things together and generally cleaning the mess. Teenage girls got... excitable, and several had bid in the last frenzy. There was quite the frenzy getting everything cleaned up though. The crowd now was... different. Older, for one thing, with a lot more guys, and quite a few looked a little... unsavory. The various workers would occasionally exchange nervous glances, but they were okay with it.

The Auctioneer stepped forward a little more cautiously this time. He still approached the podium, grinning wide and spreading his hands for silence. He'd done this once, and it was easier to do it before this crowd than the screaming teenage girls he'd so recently faced. He looked like a weedy kid, but the moment he spoke, his deep, sonorous voice made it abundantly clear that he'd been well selected.

"Hello there folks, it's my pleasure to get things moving right along. I'm here to introduce our next person up for bid. She's an exotic and mysterious beauty that just so happens to be one smoking hot college coed. She's here for your bidding pleasures, ready and willing to be your hot, exotic date for the night. It's my pleasure to introduce: Pandora Kāohi!"

[just play the announcer as the thread goes; it's not hard. He's got a big voice and wants to sell Pandora. Go nuts.]

[Pandora E. Kāohi]

Pandora had always been down for doing whatever helped a good cause. She didn't really think twice before signing herself up but, hey! What could possibly go wrong? Even though she ignored most compliments, she was informed on many occasions on how attractive she was. So if she was as attractive as people said she was, why not use it for good, right!? Pan hadn't been used to being in front of every one so it made her heart beat just a bit faster than normal. She was happy and excited and was super confident in herself.

The eyes perked up as the Auctioneer made his way on the stage to the podium. She smiled.

"Hello there folks, it's my pleasure to get things moving right along. I'm here to introduce our next person up for bid. She's an exotic and mysterious beauty that just so happens to be one smoking hot college coed. She's here for your bidding pleasures, ready and willing to be your hot, exotic date for the night. It's my pleasure to introduce: Pandora Kāohi!"

Oh my gosh! Am I really as exotic? That sounds so sexy! Like look at me... the exotic surfer... The Exotic Teleporter! Oh my damn I would be such a sexy super hero with that name. I should be a super hero! Her thoughts trailed a bit until she shook out of her train of thought and finally stepped out with a bright smile on her face. Her naturally golden hair had way looser curls than usual as a tropical dress hugged her slim frame.

Her eyes had looked more grey-ish today as she scanned over the crowd of men. Giggling, she waved at the men currently howling and whistling at her. The bidding began a bit faster than she expected. So to make it a bit more interesting, she teleported out in her golden orbs and teleported on top of the podium, sitting in a pin-up girl like pose.

Yeah! That should totally rile up the crowd... and it did.

Her Look

[Seiji Lockard]

Seiji was not really one that ever had a date, like ever. Well if you counted the speed dating, then he had a five minute date before. So when he heard about those who won a bid got to win a date, he was actually going to avoid it. He would just be so awkward and while he had money who wanted to be forced to go on a date with him. It did dawn on him that he could still make a bet, possibly win, and then just let the person know that they didn't have to go on a date with him but he still felt a little odd about it. Yet Akiko; who he was caring on him at the moment, was not going to just let him skip out on a chance to have a date. Plus the money would be going to a good cause. There were so many people up for auction, but Seiji felt like none of them would like to be bided on by a twenty-four year old. Well Pandora probably would not mind since they knew one another.

The tag they had as his title of her auction was very interesting but was more interesting was how the crowd was acting. They were pretty much losing their minds and were screaming. He was not sure if he was even going to be heard placing his bid at this rate. He was fine with the number of people but was also worried about Akiko climbing off and slithering in on someone. In fact that was the snakes plan, to get rid of any competition but the snake was forgetting that Seiji could hear her thoughts. "You better not Akiko. We do this fair. If I win I win, if not then I don't." Seiji spoke to his snake and motioned to her to hide. Akiko did with a small fuss and she for sure was going to be keeping tabs on what was going on. Telling her master to bet really high to share most of the competitors away.

Pandora took the stage and man did she look good, Seiji thankful that he was not some school boy and not having a hormonal problem. Still he did feel like his breath had been caught for a moment as she displayed her power and was up on the podium, blocking the guy that was doing the bidding, but Seiji bet that he was going to be able to work around it. The crowd was riled up but the bidding seemed like it was about to get underway, Seiji waiting for the announcer to say as such and then waiting for people to start yelling out bid and lifting their hands before he would lift up his hand and try and speak up loudly. "Four thousand dollars." Seiji called out, and yes he did have that kind of cash and still more than that. He didn't really think he could actually match Pan's worth but he had to at least bed a nice amount right? Plus it was for a good cause.

[Pandora E. Kāohi]

Pan continued to sit up at the podium as she giggled and waved at the guys who cheered at her and spat out numbers. This was way more fun than she thought it would be. Even though she didn't mind it, the attention was always nice. Pandora brushed her golden locks out of her face as she eyed the crowd, giving them her brightest smile as the bids continued to rise. One guy had called out a few hundreds while another fought against him. She could almost feel the tension between the two. Oh dear.

"Four thousand dollars." In an instant someone had called out an amount, not really yelling or shouting it out but just called it out. The crowd grew quiet and Pandora's smile faded as she tried to figure out who it was. No one really spoke but everyone turned their attention to one person. Hopping off of the podium, Pandora traveled her eyes to where the attention was and it was the last person she thought would be here. "Seiji..." To think that he had shown up at her auction and let alone put down stacks for the cause... and a date with her... for the cause. It caused her hazel eyes to light up as she smiled brightly. Had he just won the bid? Well she had hope so. The auctioneer was currently asking if anyone wanted to bid higher and Pandora turned to him and shook her head and whispered, "No!"

She made her way to hop off the stage and ran towards Seiji, pushing a few guys out of her way, almost bombarding Seiji with a hug as she giggled. "Seeeiiijiii!! I was so not expecting you to be here. Oh my god, I'm so glad you're here! A-And you came to bid also, Akiko?!"

Another male nearby called out to her, shouting something about how he wanted to bid more. She narrowed her eyes at him, "No! Shows over! Bye everyone, nothing to see here!" The last thing she wanted was some creep-o taking her out on a date anyway. Her expression quickly changed as she smiled and giggled up at Seiji. 

[Seiji Lockard]

Everyone got really quite when he put up that large sum of money, and they were even starting to look at him. Seiji wishing that his power was invisibility at the moment or considering possibly faking fainting so they would take their eyes off of him. No, fainting would do the opposite so he was just going to have to own up to the eyes that were on him. It was a large amount of money, but it was for a charity and he still didn't even feel like it came even close to how much Pandora was worth. Then again he was the type that didn't think you could put a price on someone. Well you could if you kidnapped them and were holding them for ransom, but then again that was someone else putting a price on someone’s head and not Seiji. He just hopped she didn't dislike him if he won the bid and the fact that he bided on her. It was not like he was trying to get a date, they really didn't have to even go on it if she didn't want to.

Pan said his name and even smiled, so that was all good signs that she was not mad at him for showing up. Akiko was very pleased as she peeked out a little bit to get a look at Pan and was giving Seiji some more advice. Advice that he was ignoring because most of it there was no way he could do. The auctioneer was asking then if anyone else was going to put up a bit but Pan had said no and then she hopped off the stage. Pushing people out of the way and making her way over to Seiji who just sort of froze in place as she basically bombarded him with a hug. Akiko luckily moving out of the way so she would not end up getting squeezed, but then peeking out from under Seiji's jacket when Pan started to speak. "I figured it was for a good cause and Akiko really wanted to. So...in a way, Akiko won the date with you." Seiji said with a small chuckle at the thought of Akiko wearing like...a bow or something while being on a 'date' with Pan.

A nearby man yelled out something about wanting the bid to go on and Seiji was actually fine with that. He could bid more or stop right there if the guy really wanted to be the one to win a chance to go on a date with Pan. Pandora apparently had something else in mind, telling the guy no with narrowed eyes. The bid was apparently over, so that meant that Seiji had won. "I better go pay then, since I won. I hope you don't mind going on a date of sorts with me." Seiji said as he gave a small smile back to her, really hoping that she was okay with this and not just being nice.

[Pandora E. Kāohi]

"I figured it was for a good cause and Akiko really wanted to. So...in a way, Akiko won the date with you." Pandora's eyes lit up even more just from the fact that Seiji had done it for the cause and not for her. Yeah, she may have been more flattered if it was for her but she didn't care about stuff like that. She was more worried about raising money for the cause and raising money she did. Maybe she should be apart of date auctions more often? "Aww Akiko, are you my date now?" Pandora said figuring that Akiko was hiding on Seiji's person. "We could totally go on a date without Seiji." She giggled as she looked up at him, smiling brightly. "I'm just kidding!"

"I better go pay then, since I won. I hope you don't mind going on a date of sorts with me." Nodding her head, her smile had been pretty much planted on her face. "Why would I mind? I'd love to go on the date with you. Oh! And we'll have so much fun together! I can't wait!" Pan jumped up and down and clapped her hands in excitement. She hadn't done anything like this all summer, well... the whole date thing. She was so busy with trying to find a new job and taking summer courses that she totally forgot how to have fun.

"I will go get ready and you just text me when, where, and I will be there. You know, depending on what package you pick I think they're like three." Getting ahead of herself as usual, Pandora hurried through the crowd so she could hurry up and get to her room. "Move out my waaaayy folks!" She said pushing aside a few people in her way,

"Oh wait. I can teleport! Duh!" Pandora then teleported out in orbs.

[Seiji Lockard]

Well yes, he had done it for more than just the charity. He didn't want a friend of his to end up with some bad guy or girl. Plus it gave him a chance to hang out with here and he was a bit of a social butterfly believe it or not. Okay, so maybe he liked to be a social butterfly but just didn't seem to be that good at making friends with others and when he did they seemed to not stick around. That last thought brought back the pain of the loses he had to deal with because of SPECTRE. He pushed that out of his mind for now since that was not important. What was important that he had helped out the charity and won a date with Pandora. The latter he would not actually be able to admit to her, himself, or anyone for that matter. Akiko let out a hiss at the question with the whole being her date and Seiji just nodded since Akiko said yes.

He could not help but to blush a tiny bit for a small moment when Pandora teased about how she and the snake could have a date on their own. Letting Seiji know that she was just kidding, but he had no problem with that idea. "If you two really wanted to, I hate to be a third wheel is such a perfect relationship." Seiji tried to joke a little along with Pandora, not sure if he did it right but he tried. That was what counted in the end right? She was nodding a smiling, letting him know that she did not mind going on a date with him and how they would have so much fun together. That brought a smile to his face as well, but he was more so thinking of the word date on the loosest of terms. Probably calling it a hangout would have been the best way to describe it that would make him not feel like it was getting warmer outside. "I'm looking forward to it and I hope you don't mind which package I choose." Seiji said as he started to move to where he needed to pay.

He pretty much had a path made for him as many of the people that were there were now glaring at him and didn't even want to touch him. Well a few did but after having seen a snake on him many of them were not willing to risk taking a swing at him and getting bitten by possibly another snake. His snakes were pretty much what had kept him from being bullied as a child after all. Akiko was with Pandorra however so Seiji was without any snakes, but the people who wanted to pound him into the dirt didn't have to know that. "I'll text you then. Keep Akiko safe." Seiji said as he gave Pandora a small wave, worried for a moment as he watched her trying to make her way through the crowd. He ended up chuckling a little as she seemed to remember her ability and used it. Seiji going back to paying and then planning on picking the second package and telling Pandora were to meet him so they could get to this Fairground fun.
