Charity Fundraising Events!

[boughtstockinsocks]

The Charity Fundraising Events meme


Whether you're the brains behind the operation or you've just been roped in like the good samaritan (or guilt trip victim) you are, you are now part of a fundraising event for the charity of your choice.

Because hey, it's for a good cause.

How to:
• Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences. They're now working dutifully (or slacking off) as part of a fundraising event.
• If you've got something specific in mind (like the cause they're working for or a particular scenario) set the scene with a description in the body of your comment. Or just leave a blank comment for maximum variety.
• Tag around and have fun.

Some options for inspiration:
1) The kissing booth
2) The bake sale/lemonade stand/homemade goodies sale
3) The neighborhood car wash (revealing attire optional)
4) Selling raffle tickets
5) The (art, clothing, craft, or other goods) auction
6) The date auction
7) The yard sale (AKA: "please buy our old junk that's been cluttering our basement for years")
8) The community clean-up
9) The dance-a-thon
10) The telethon/pledge drive
11) The three-legged race-for-the-cure
12) Anything else you can dream up for raising money!

[Who wouldn't give a crapload of money to an adorable child dressed in a penguin suit?

Obviously no dating or kissing, but anything else is cool.]

[5, 6, and 10 most plausible, but up for any of them!]

Enjolras ] Les Misérables

[deblayer]

[whatever it is, he's doing it for landlord-tenant legal defense or to keep an orphanage funded, so he's in it to win it

it being 'your money for charity']

[loveandliberty]

[ Usually, Grantaire is a pretty charming guy. He's friendly, funny, and he knows how to talk people into doing things. Really, trying to get him on board for a charity event is a pretty natural thought.

Here's something that really doesn't make him feel very chatty though: Washing other peoples' cars.

Here's another thing he's actually not particularly thrilled about: Washing other peoples' cars and not having a shirt on. That part was very much optional but he let Courf talk him into it because he couldn't think of a good way to say "I have an absolutely atrocious body image and genuinely think I will deter people from giving us money" without ending up in a discussion he really didn't want to be having.

So, here he is, shirtless and constantly tugging at his jeans because they are an old pair that are now just a bit big so they keep hanging real low. Another thing that had pleased Courf.

He might have to kill that guy later. ]

[When he's in the right mood for it, Grantaire is a pretty charming guy. He's got a way with words which might not be traditionally enviable, but which certainly seems to connect with people in a particularly useful fashion--at least, when he could be cajoled into saying something useful.

The fact that this was Courfeyrac's idea softened the sell to get Grantaire here at all. There was something less oddly personal about asking the man to support a project that another Friend had been champing at the bit about.

It's just that lots of other things had wound up piled on top of the relatively simple seed of an idea.

Which has resulted in Grantaire standing shirtless amid the wonderful bustle of charity but not looking all that much happier than whenever Enjolras dragged him into something that felt overwhelmingly Important. Which tugs Enjolras over like a magnet, for a moment, wiping his own soapy hands on the seat of his own jeans.] --hey. [Touching Grantaire's shoulder while shirtless in public is all right, right?] Everything okay?

hello.... rng was adamant about telethon

[gotminecoming]

[She’s only here because Courfeyrac had promised her a good bottle of whiskey for the gift of her face. Something something being hot and something something veteran representation— she hadn’t really been listening after the whiskey.

She probably should have, because she hadn’t realized how long this would take, and she’s rapidly losing her already fairly awful fake smile.

So she’s walking away a touch abruptly from the cameras and the phones, seriously debating telling Courfeyrac to keep the whiskey. She wants to go home.]

weird call, rng

[deblayer]

[The spectacle of a telethon is somewhere between Enjolras's style and not at all Enjolras's style. That oddity has been sitting in his chest all afternoon, through each changing shift.

At least there's the comfort of hearing his friends' voices chattering all around him. It's just that there's also the beginning of strain in more than a few voices, breaking through the pleasant fog of chipper conversations.

Courfeyrac's friend next to him is flagging particularly fast. He scrawls a quick:] Line 2? [across a nearby post-it note and pushes it across to her as he ends his own call and dials her phone.

Everyone needs a break, sometimes. They're just harder to take while the camera is on.]

Daniel Rand | Marvel 616 (or mcu)

[dannyrand]

[He probably roped you into it, lets be honest]

[gbpp]

[He's just here for the sliders. You're doing food, right?]

[dannyrand]

[There's totally food, how else is he supposed to bribe people to come to these things?]

Courfeyrac | Les Mis

[courfeyhot]

you know why I'm here

[deblayer]

[Trusting Courfeyrac is easy. It has been for an incredibly long time. There were rough moments, and there were doubts, but ultimately things always seemed to shake out in the right direction--almost always with the right result and usually with minimal bodily harm.

And Enjolras does trust Courfeyrac with this. Admittedly, he largely trusts her because the end result is going to be incredibly useful funding for after-school programming. The end result of the day would be more math and science exposure for children who needed that little extra push to succeed.

But.]

You're sure about this?

[It's warm, sure. It'll be soapy, also sure. But standing here shirtless doesn't feel exactly on-message for STEM tutoring.]

Mary Crawley | Downton Abbey

[thequitecontrary]

[You know those noble ladies and their charities. She's probably here more for PR than out of any real desire to help. I'm partial to kissing booth or date auction, but open to other ideas too.]

AU!Tatsuya Suou/Persona 2 Eternal Punishment/OTA

[thissideonly]

[Tatsuya is canonly a guitarist, so he might perform for 9 or 10! But if you got anything else in mind, he's open!]

Shouto Todoroki | BNHA

[icyflames]

[loneliest_of_all]

(ooc: If you're interested maybe Weiss is from one of the other hero schools or something and her contribution thanks to her being a rather talented singer is a concert.

Weiss puts a lot of her family issues into her songs and they've become less subtle as her series goes on so it'd be interesting for Shouto to realize that and reach out to her for someone who gets it.

If you haven't seen the series Weiss's father basically tried to train her like a dog so she would be his obedient little figurehead when he stepped down from the company he married into control of.

So yeah loveless marriage ahoy and her Mother basically escaped into alcoholism.)

Ben Solo (AU) | Star Wars

[jedi_librettist]

[He's not getting involved with a kissing booth but feel free to rope him into anything else.]

Crow Armbrust | Trails of Cold Steel | OTA
