Auctions are an event where objects (and, in this case, dates) are sold to the highest bidder. They announce the next item, everyone who's interested calls out how much they're willing to pay for it, and it goes to whoever is willing to pay the most. It's an extremely popular format for art sales.

its for pepel with lots of money?

how do yu sell dates?

The more money you have, the higher you can afford to bid. Not exactly fair to the other participants, but I'm sure the charity getting the funds will appreciate it.

I'm not sure how exactly it'll go, but generally people volunteer to sell their time. Whoever wins it gets to spend a few hours with them.

what dose that hav to do with dates

I mean, they're supposed to do somewhat romantic activities during that time, I guess? Fancy candlelit dinners and the like. I don't think spending that time watching the news report together will cut it.

what are you talking abot ?

[...]

Dates, as in the romantic outings that are going to be auctioned off to raise money for charity. Well, maybe not entirely romantic, depending on who's offered and who wins.

thats not

but date is a time

day

a surten day

Ah. As it happens, the word 'date' has multiple meanings. One of them refers to a specific day, yes, but another is an appointment, usually of the romantic kind. They're only auctioning off the second sort.

In fact, a 'date' can also be a fruit, but I don't think they'll be selling those.

thats wird

On a specific date, you can go on a date with your date and eat the best dates you've tasted to date for dessert.

Languages are great.

what?

Five uses of 'date' in a single sentence, five different meanings. That does warrant some confusion.

why write things dont make sense

It might make sense if you bid on someone during the auction and win.

i dont know hwat you mean

I don't know, but my dear partner says they're some sort of special way of buying things.

[guess whose Clefairy got a hold of his 'gear

~~not that Shrike would know that, I guess~~]

like a markett?

Probably! I don't know why it's more special than when they put all the decorations up in winter though.

decorations like for that party

i think peple ar talking abot auction like that party?

Yeah! And a lot of people like it when there are big events where lots of people get together like that.

Not my dear partner, but it's good for him to go.

lots of people will go ?

Yeah! Lots of people always go to big things like that.

so if people went to othr one theid go to the auction to

Probably! Unless they made plans a long time ago and can't make it. Or my dear partner will probably try to find a reason not to go but I'll convince him.

but its mean to force somone if he doznt want to?

My dear partner is very lazy. He'd sleep all day if I didn't convince him to do things.

must be rich to be so lazy

Mostly sad. But I've been helping him get better about that too!

wy sad?

Things from before he became my dear partner. And a dumb mean fake, but the fake is gone now and even if the fake came back Jehra Glen and me would zap it until it went away forever.

[such confidence from the ten year old pink thing]

Also he gets sad when Mister Sion is sad, but I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.

i dont know how to make people not sad. happy.

It's different for everyone, I think. You just have to keep trying until you find what works.

your stil trying ?

Yeah! I can't just give up, after all.
