Date Auction!
Who| Everyone, including Tributes who made it to the end
What| Date auction
When| After the finale but before the crowning
Where| The Capitol
Warnings| None yet
The date auction is set on the top of the tallest hotel in the center of the Capitol. Citizens pack into the elevators, tittering as they're jetted up to the sixty-third floor. Massive headdresses get caught on each other and toes are stepped on, and more than a few minor scuffles break out.
Extra stars have been projected into the night sky, which has been artificially cleared of clouds. The sun has set, leaving the vibrant purple of evening to shine down on the beautiful marble dance floor and new pool in the shape of a heart, lit up with pink lights. Avoxes serve hot dishes to each guest at the little red-clad tables. There are promises of a firework show in the evening.
The theme of the evening is love, and the reds, silks and abundance of roses all speak to a classical romantic bent.
Pedestals with small, ornate thrones sit for each of the signed-up Tributes. A hologram television behind each shows off images of their greatest accomplishments in each Arena, while a ticky-tape at the bottom of the screen describes random trivia about each of them, down from boxers or briefs to their darkest confessions made anywhere in the Capitol or Arena. It serves, of course, as both advertising and a reminder to the Tributes that they are always being monitored. A very slight amount of the thrones have clear plastic cuffs around the ankles, to keep the more unruly Tributes from going anywhere until the party's over. An Avox aside each Tribute holds a silent auction list where citizens, Tributes and Games-people alike can bid assi on their favorites.
"Ladies and gentlemen," a booming female voice announces from nowhere, "Celebrus Magazine, in conjunction with The Romulus Hotel, are delighted to host the first annual Hunger Games Date Auction for charity! As a matter of decorum, let us remind you of some ground rules. A guest's actions reflects on the hotel, and the Romulus reserves the right to remove anyone in any position of authority from the premises for any reason, including going beyond the boundaries of a date auction. Any unseemly, fraudulent or presumptive action on the part of the guest will lead to their immediate dismissal. These Tributes volunteered for charity, and their wishes should be respected.
"You may bid as much as you like, on however many Tributes you like, but please don't promise more assi than you have on-hand. All donations will be taken at the time the winning bidder is announced. Get excited, but don't get too excited!
"And now…may the bidding begin!"
At no point does Celebrus Magazine indicate what sort of charity any of the money generated was going towards.

"I have a sunlamp in my room that I use mostly, but I prefer the real stuff when I can get it. I need a good hour a day to keep me going." Gaila told her, always happy to talk about herself.

She smiled faintly at the explanation of why she drank alcohol. "Apparently common across species."

"I came in during the last arena. Had no idea what was going on, they just shoved me in there. All of this is totally new to me."

"Urgh. That sucks." Gaila pulled a face of sympathy. "At least I had a chance to get used to the Capitol before getting thrown in. Gaila, by the way. Lieutenant Gaila of Orion." She waved. "I'd shake your hand or some shit but I think I'd get in trouble for getting off these thingies."

Saying that sounded more awkward than she expected.

She glanced around.
"I thought maybe this was my future. Considering I only see humans among the citizens, though, I doubt that both this future and the one you come from can both happen. Which supports the idea of alternate universes."

"You never know, there's got to be one universe where we're all animals."

The thought raised Joan's hackles, that even on a whole different planet women were still oppressed.
