Attention adults!

[inthecenterfold]

Okay so I know I just got here & all but... I'm really, really, REALLY upset there's not a bar around.

So. I checked things out. & Guess what? I'm allowed to start one, they say...

... Problem is I need the money to do it. So, here's the plan folks!

Yours truly is gonna work as a "Tradesperson" [[OOC: link]] for the time being. While I'm running around doing what they need me to, I'll be driving the awesome ~*~Jeep~*~ that turned up outside this temp place they let me have. I'll have a great big sign up to help everyone find me because I'm officially holding:
A FUNDRAISER TO START
A BAR

How 'bout it, Edensphere Adults? Wanna donate to the cause?

[[OOC: With permission from Tez, Smoke embarks on his quest to bring a bar to the fishbowl! He needs the money first, though! 8D ]]

Why the hell would we give away money?

[treeleopardess]

What are you doing to raise it? Just going to stand there and hope we think you're pretty enough to give you money?

...Just be sure not to breed drunkards and brigands.

I recall a fundraiser in the past...

Kitty at least had an event to help raise money other than just, "Give me money, you bastards!"

I do believe you're going about it all wrong.

[treeleopardess]

I've always thought you had a way with words, Gungnir.

[flenceburgsbest.livejournal.com]

I do try. ♥

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

So I'm new at money management, big whoop.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

You gotta better idea?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Cuz some people would like to see a bar around here?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Those are the types that bouncers throw out. ♥

Last time somebody had to raise money, they went about having a date night auction? Some people volunteered to have a date auctioned off and in the end, it was enough to help Claw build a restaurant.

How does that sound? Round two?

Lateral thinking conquers all, Smoke. Usually, I'd let a situation like this just crash and burn, but given the fact that we are now in the same domestic lifepartner boat, I can't stand idly by.

So clearly driving around with a big sign and depending on the benevolence of strangers is only going to get you so far. How about Mr. Sugardaddy's suggestion and auctioning something, offering goods and services, something to inspire people to start shelling out the big bucks.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Yeah but like what? So far I've only got this Jeep and-

What about rides in the Jeep? Drivin people around to go wherever? Heck driving lessons?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Like a date with me?

2/2

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

See now that sounds alright.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Oh man, did I just create a monster?

Look, I'm not just saying with you -- unless you mean, of course, to like...you know what I'm going to stop that line of thinking right there

I mean, ask some of the popular folks around here whether or not they'd be willing to be auctioned off for a date. Then throw something up in the journals and the world at large will respond. I wasn't talking specifically you and just you, dude.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

The Jeep'll and the driving lessons will only get you as far as however long this strange bumper car phenomenon works. Which, if the annoying girl down the hall is telling the truth, just started randomly one day and could just as randomly stop.

So.

Other than smoke, be naked, and drive around...what else can you do?

[ a long pause ]

How about a mahjong tournament?

[rider-in-chains.livejournal.com]

A bar? For.. what?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

A place to drink, play games, & meet people!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

We'd need tiles for that.

And how would the winnings work? The winner'll want to keep a portion, right?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

All right, all right. By reputation isn't so big here yet that that'd work anyway, I think.

I think we'll see how my roommate's idea turns out and this can be like the next thing I try since - big a project as this is - I'll probably need more money than whatever that makes.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

Tiles are the easy part, tiger. Leave that bit to me.

How about we ask people around the Marketplace if they'd be willing to donate wares that we can tote as prizes. Then participants pay an entry fee or something like that?

Granted, I'm not sure if it'll be enough to pay for a bar, but it's better than driving around in a Jeep like some panhandler on wheels.

[saleskitten.livejournal.com]

Hey now, don't count out help at all!

If you want an auction thrown out, I'd be more than happy to ask around again.

Auction Part Deux sounds pretty fun, since a lot of people asked if the positions were full!

[flenceburgsbest.livejournal.com]

Mr. Sugardaddy?

Who in the tree is that?

[rider-in-chains.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound bad honestly...
