Going Once! Going Twice! Sold!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first annual Maria Stark Foundation Charity Auction. I'm Alison Blaire and your host for tonight's festivities. Prepare yourselves for a night of fun to help a worthy cause. In just a few minutes many very handsome men will be brought out one by one for your chance to win a date with one of them.

Before we begin I would like to bring out Her Imperial Highness Anya Stark. Miss Stark helped arranged tonight's event and will give you a little more information on the charity organization tonight's proceeds will help."

Anya walked out on stage and smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Blaire. All of the proceeds from tonight's event will go directly to Doctors Without Borders or Médecins Sans Frontières. This organization was created in 1971 in France to benefit the citizens of the world. The organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation all across the globe. MSF operates independently of any political, military, or religious agendas.

I'm happy to announce on behalf of the Maria Stark Foundation, that all money collected here tonight will be matched dollar for dollar by the Maria Stark Foundation."

"Thank you Miss Stark and that is a very generous offer by the Maria Stark Foundation. Now it's time to begin. So open those wallets and let's bring out our first man." Anya left the stage and went to take her seat.

"First we have the son of Captain America Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. James Romanov-Rogers is currently an Avenger and has recently moved to Seattle to lead the West Coast Avengers."

"Let's start the bidding at a hundred dollars."

	Corey was surprised to be in a bidding war; he deeply appreciated Mina's efforts, but he didn't want her to bankrupt herself. As for the opposition, he was blushing like crazy, but...well... she wasn't Ukrainian, but she wasn't bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Getting pretty ritzy here. Mina was nearing the end of her spending limit too. "Two-fifty-five!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. Mom and Dad (talked to without knowledge of the other mind) had both been inclined to give her money if it meant the possibility of her maybe being more social.

Mina rarely left the Institute, truth be told. Though she got on well with just about everyone, she disliked all the secrecy and hiding that were involved if she wanted to go anywhere.

"Two sixty-five."

	Corey steps down gleefully -- and very relieved. He seizes Mina's hands, even if that looks really weird with the image inducer. "So what would the lady like for supper?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey kidfuzzy 2011-02-17 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Mina always kind of looks like she's doing the Vulcan salute thing, unless she keeps her fingers together when she uses her image inducer. She smiles. "The lady would not say no to anything with the word schnitzel in it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey sandcastlegod 2011-02-17 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Great. I know somewhere that does great schnitzel, as I discovered during a recipe swap....not to be too forward, Miss Wagner, but what are you wearing? Actually wearing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey kidfuzzy 2011-02-17 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Mina smiled at that. Corey didn't have it in him, she knew, to be fresh. "Same thing," she said, indicating the dress she'd worn. "Well, minus the shoes. Got my toed-boots on there. But otherwise the only hologram's the me-parts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mina'e eyes widened just a touch. "Classy," she said, and meant it. "Sounds like fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey kidfuzzy 2011-02-19 12:33 am UTC (link)
	It is, Mina realizes, probably the second or third date she's ever actually been on. "Hey, Corey?" she says. "I know I "bought" you and all... but... thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey sandcastlegod 2011-02-19 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"You're more than welcome." He smiled. "Your dad totally spotted you some of the cash, huh? I know he's a big medical-charity fan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Corey kidfuzzy 2011-02-19 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Dad and Mom actually," she replied, blushing a little, which was translated by the image inducer. "I kinda didn't tell either one I'd already asked the other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
