#asuevent015

Normally Kendall would jump at the opportunity to encourage communication between the couple while they were at odds, but Addy’s basket was coming up and she obviously still needed space, so the best thing Kendall could do as a friend was help. He was grateful that Hadley understood the importance of friendship and that she cared about making sure their friends were okay; it made him feel less guilty about bidding on Addy, and using his own money to start the bidding at that. She was in a hard enough spot with the way Hadie had been behaving, she didn’t need to lose money today on top of that, and aside from that, her basket was incredible and had more than earned it. 

It was a tense back and forth but especially with Addison’s money, it was no time at all before Hadie was out of the running and the auctioneer was announcing, “Sold! Addison Pendragon’s basket goes to Kendall Andersen!”

Hi everyone!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, we wanted to take this opportunity to host a different sort of RP event for you guys! If you’ve ever seen the Gilmore Girls episode A Tisket, A Tasket or the Hart of Dixie episode Sparks Fly, you’ll be familiar with the concept of a charity picnic auction, and this year, Auradon’s going to be hosting it’s very own.

The event (asuevent015) will officially take place in character on Saturday, February 13th, and characters will prepare anonymous picnic baskets to be sold off to the highest bidder! The prize isn’t just the contents of the basket, though -- whoever’s basket your character wins, they’ll get a chance to spend the day with that person, as well. This will be a fun chance to create new connections, or stir up drama between old ones. 

However, there’s a lot of preparation for such an event, so we’ll have a few deadlines leading up to the event for you to follow OOC.

February 5, 2020: This will be the last day to submit baskets made by your characters. Please submit them to our new events blog with either a brief summary of what your muse would have in their picnic basket, or with pictures of what’s in it if you prefer. These will be posted on February 6th for everyone to bid on at random.

Note: If you have a pre-planned plot, please make sure you submit that by February 5th, as well. For instance, if Mun A and Mun B have decided ahead of time that Clay Clayton will be buying Maddy Mim’s basket, when Mad Maddy’s basket is submitted, please make a note that this basket is already sold to Clay. We will keep who bought the basket a secret until all winners are announced at a later date.

February 10, 2020: All bids must be submitted. 

For instance, if Mun C decides that Derek Deppert likes the look of what’s in Basket 3, he’ll send a message to our new events blog that says ‘Derek bids on Basket 3.’ 

If there are no other bidders on this basket, then Derek will automatically win! However, if two or more people bid on the same basket, a randomizer will be used to determine who the winner is.

February 12, 2020: Basket winners will be posted on our new events blog ahead of the event on the 13th!

If you guys have any questions about the event, please let us know and we will be happy to clarify! Otherwise, we can’t wait to start seeing basket submissions come in to auradonstate-events very soon!

Then another bid came, almost comically high, and her basket was officially sold to someone else. And not just anyone else, but to Mister Carter La Bouff, the pen pal she’d been trying not to have feelings for so long now. She hated that her heart could simultaneously be disappointed not to get to spend the day with the fiancé she was genuinely feeling things for while also beating a mile a minute at the very idea of Carter. Adding to her confusion, DJ chose then to text and apologize for not bringing the admittedly inordinate amount of money that the La Bouffs brought to such events and to assure her that she should go and have a good time, that he’d buy another basket for charity and the two of them would still get their special Valentine’s Day tomorrow. DJ really was something special.

And he was right too, someone else had outbid him fair and square, and charity was what this event was about, and they would have their date tomorrow, and it was armed with all of those excuses that Karmen found her way to Carter, trying to calm herself enough to greet him. “Hello, Mister Carter! Fancy meeting you here. It’s really very nice to see you.” And it was. Despite being confusing, it was undeniably nice too.

And that’s a wrap on basket submissions!

It’s officially February 6th in the eastern time zone, and you know what that means - auction bidding can now begin! From today through Monday, February 8th, we are accepting bids for your first choice baskets! Please send your muse’s name and the name of the one basket they’d like to purchase most to @auradonstate-events as soon as possible.

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that you only have 2 more days to submit your picnic baskets for the February 13th date auction to the @auradonstate-events blog if you plan to participate in asuevent015. After February 5th, your muses will no longer be able to officially enter. 

Starting on February 6th, we will move to the bidding phase of the event! More information will be posted about the bidding process at that time.

A colorful basket filled with savory treats.

Hi everyone!

It’s officially February 13th, which means our basket auction is officially upon us! Although the event probably takes place around mid-day in Auradon, from this point forward you can have your characters acknowledge all basket-related things on the dash in character!

This means your muses now know who made baskets, what’s inside of baskets, who bought baskets... and most importantly, it means you’re free to start posting auction-related threads.
