[Open] Are you ready? Here we go!
Who: Everyone and their wallets
Where: Cianwood City
When: Evening of June 21st
Summary: It's an auction! Time to drop some money ~FOR CHARITY~
Rating: Let's say PG-13 just in case.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Alright, here is how this will work: each date/item/egg will have its own top-level! Please reply to it only once, every following comment should be replying to the last bidder, keeping it in one thread. Auctionees are welcome to threadjack with reactions from their characters, of course! Chat with the public, fight among yourselves, etc! I'll freeze the threads and call the winners the morning of June 29th, so you have a whole week to bid! And yes, everyone is absolutely welcome to make their own top levels for this little event, no matter if you are an auctionee, a bidder or just an observer, for the before, the during or the after event, everything goes. All top levels are ready now, so feel free to go ahead and post! :)
Enjoying the solstice festivities, everyone? Those who go for a walk on the beach a few steps away from the festival will notice that a corner of the Cianwood coast has been reserved for something else. Well, two something else, actually.
The first one is a charity booth with the Helping Hand logo on the tablecloth. Three NPC volunteers will be there since early in the morning, handing out pamphlets with tips and contact information, offering their guidance to any Team Rocket victims, and taking any extra donations people may have for them. There's a money box and everything!
The other one... well, is freaking huge. And hidden under a huge canvas cover, which doesn't come off until the festival is over. When the sun finally sets, a pink glow (that many may recognize as a Pokémon using its Psychic-powers) raises the canvas and throws it away, only to reveal...
We know, we know. Your eyes can't believe what they're seeing - it is, indeed, that beautiful. And you're allowed to take selfies on this lovely stage after the auction is over if you drop a little something in the donation box!
Speaking of the auction... the show is starting now. The lights are turned on and, after everyone has taken a sit on one of the hundreds of chairs that were decorated to match the theme, a soft tune starts playing from the speakers as a person makes their way upstage. It's Jaskier, wearing a blue outfit he's commissioned specially for the occasion together with sparkly jewelry and-- is that a bite mark on one of his shoulders? Yes, and a golden mic in his hands. If you've been wondering why Riegfried and Soy have chosen him to host, well, this probably answers that question.
A slow melody isn't being played just for the sake of it - the bard is, of course, singing along. A little something he's also written especially for today.
"♫ In the distance a lonely bell / tolls a solemn beat / for a weary stranger / who has lost a foothold / on life’s road that’s steep / but with a helping hand / they can get up to their feet again ♫"
The song isn't too long, but the message is clear as day. Just because Jaskier is determined to have some fun tonight and tease the hell out of bachelors and bachelorettes, it doesn't mean his wish to help isn't sincere. He just needs to be incredibly extra about it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you for being here tonight. Team Rocket has had an impact in most of our lives - mayhap you've come because, like me, you've seen a loved one hurt by their nasty greedy hands. Or perhaps you were a victim yourself. Whatever the reason, you're here to help - with your coin, of course. But not only that: we shall also show Team Rocket that we refuse to be dragged down by their nefarious plans! Let's help, dear public, by not giving up! By keeping our spirits up! By having fun!" He grins as he raises a hand with as much flair as possible. "And to that I say: LET THE SHOW BEGIN!"
Show? What show? Jaskier, this isn't a show, what are you-- never mind. More lights are being turned on and the slow, sweet tune has changed into an upbeat, catchy song. Attendants will quickly notice that Jaskier won't be hosting this auction by himself: two of his Pokémon will be helping. Buttercup the yellow Florges -who is wearing the accesories from the prom contest- will walk in the auctionees arm in arm while keeping up her Petal Dance (because, as we all know, everyone has a secret desire to be in a shojo manga). If you win one of the date auctions, then Buttercup will throw one of her flowers at you. Keep it safe! Meanwhile, the one in charge of bringing and holding up the items and eggs will be Poppy the Swoobat, who is sporting a very cute bow on his fur. Bidders that win these auctions will be approached by this very affectionate bat so he can drop the items on their laps and heartstamp their cheeks as thanks.
Host ready! Participants ready! Wallets open! It's time for a~

"'Kobi?"
Her Togekiss nudges her hand and pointedly looks towards the stage.
"Oh. Oh. Okay, well if you're sure. At least you asked, unlike Umbra."
Hermione can't begrudge Yorokobi, especially since it's the first time he's really requested anything from her. Plus an electric type could come in handy. And it was a shiny. Why not?
"1600."
(frozen comment) no subject
"1753!" she shouts in a woman's voice.
(frozen comment) no subject
"1800."

"Hey! If you're going to be like that, then I won't keep bidding!" Hermione grumbles. He gives her a death glare.
"Fine, but we're having words when we get home mister. 2200."
(frozen comment) no subject
"2200," she parrots in Hermione's voice first, and then continues in Jaskier's, "plus 100!"
(frozen comment) no subject
"Oh Merlin..." Hermione races after him to try and avoid a conflict.
"2500!" she calls out in her dash.
Meanwhile Yorokobi is giving Kiri a piece of his mind, chirping angrily at her.
(frozen comment) no subject
Kiri is a very good mimic, but unfortunately the meaning doesn't transfer over when she does so. Her Chatot shrugs and chatters a 'translation': Kiri wants to know why you're mad!
While that is going on, Kiri makes another bid. "3450!"
(frozen comment) no subject
Hermione finally catches up. "I am so sorry for him! I don't know what's gotten into him. He's usually really mild mannered."
She turns to glare at Yorokobi. "Behave!"
Turning back to the stage, she calls out "3500!".
"Sorry, he really wants this egg, even though his manners are just appalling at the moment."
(frozen comment) no subject
Then Chatot flaps from her shoulder to the ground in front of her and very slowly and exaggeratedly Chatot's through an explanation to Kiri. While she does so she points at Yorokobi and the egg, and scratches together a rough little facsimile of a nest out of grass and dirt, plops a stone in it and then sits on it. It's the best she's got.
Kiri watches all this with avid interest, making her own little interjections in Pokemonese mimicry from time to time and then her eyes widen. She looks from Yorokobi to Hermione to the egg and back thoughtfully. "Make a deal?"
(frozen comment) no subject
"What kind of deal?" she asks hesitantly. Kiri seems even stranger than Luna, if that was even possible.
(frozen comment) no subject
She points to herself, and then gets out a very large wad of pokedollars. "I give bid."
She counts out the amount quickly and holds up the amount of her last bid. It's a fraction of the total money she's got right now.
(frozen comment) no subject
"So you're letting me win the egg with my next bid, and then giving me your last bid so that once they produce a shiny egg, you can have it? Is that right?" she asks, just to confirm.
Yorokobi ruffles his feathers. He's okay with that deal, as long as he gets his mate.
"I guess 5000 then?"
She belatedly has another thought.
"Does it matter which type of pokemon it is or would you prefer a shiny Togedemaru?"
(frozen comment) no subject
Poppy the Swoobat flies towards Hermione and drops the egg on her lap before heart-stamping her cheek. Enjoy your new team member!
