@calebagron and @cadenagron ‘s date with @neekaxiv ! Food, drinks and fighting -- the perfect date!
It's time for the big thank you post!
I would love to list names here, I really would. I want to give each of you paragraphs upon paragraphs lavishing you with praise and gratitude. That -- I think I'll do that in person. For now, I'll dump you all into a big ol' hugpile. Thank you. Thank you all.
To those of you who came forward with the idea, those of you who pushed it, worked with it, organized it, supported it, promoted it, or provided any sort of input -- thank you.
To those of you who put your characters up for auction despite being nervous, being iffy about schedules; to those of you who stayed up despite being dead tired and presented all your characters’ charms and quirks -- thank you. To those of you who were not confident about your characters’ value (Y'ALL LEARNED A LESSON TODAY, HOLY HELL) and put them out there anyway, I am so proud of you -- and we all thank you.
To those of you who worked tirelessly during the event to keep things running smoothly, to keep people engaged, to crunch numbers and keep everyone updated -- thank you.
To those of you who couldn't make it, for whatever reason, be it life or previous engagements in game; we've felt and seen your support, and we thank you.
Of course, I cannot forget those of you who attended! To those who came simply out of curiosity -- to place bids, to WIN auctions, or to just roleplay and even catch a bicep or thigh here and there -- thank you! You made our event teem with life and simply astonished us all. All of you, all of you are welcome in our halls, large or small.
A special thank you to the winning bidders -- we will do our best to make those dates memorable (WITH AT LEAST TRAUMA AS POSSIBLE, BUT NO PROMISES WITH THESE HOT MESSES THAT Y'ALL BOUGHT ESTEEMED CITIZENS).
All the other FCs who came out in force to support us, thank you! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND WE LOVE YOU FOR IT.
And to my fellow Agents...
I can't even begin to properly express my amazement, pride and gratitude here. We've been through a lot, sure, and seeing you guys come together and bring this whim to life has been one of the most astonishing, satisfying and uplifting experiences I have ever had in this game -- and I'm not even thinking about the gil here. It's a privilege to play with all of you -- and whether the auction had been a success or a flop, I am grateful for every single one of you.
Thanks, folks, and let's see what other hell we can raise going forward!
With grateful sincerity, Berrod Armstrong on Behalf of the Astral Agents <Agent>.

Date an Agent: Cerina Borlaaq
”I am Cerina. Born into the Borlaaq tribe in Othard, though I no longer belong to them. I arrived in Eorzea almost a cycle ago as refugee, and found employment as a warrior for the Agents. Bold and outspoken, what you see is what you get. No fooling around. I enjoy sparring, drinking, and occasionally dancing. I also find Eorzean culture interesting, and I am not afraid of trying new things. --- If you know what you want, and you’re looking for a straightforward woman, then I am certain we will get along well.”

Date an Agent: Arialys Xhau
Ah! Hello, I am called Arialys or Xhau, and Lady Arbell told me not to make a fool of myself! I'm supposed to tell you a few pleasant things about myself, so I'll do my best. Magic is my field of study- arcanist to be precise, Gru and Sierce are the names of my carbuncles...they'll be staying home though. Since I started adventuring I’ve found the world to be a wonderful and very curious place, I love exploring and sampling new and exotic foods. But don't tell Mister Berrod, he may get upset because some of those things include cake and other sweets! Stories! I love hearing stories, and since learning to read I try to read as much as I can, even though I still need help with bigger words; but I'm getting better! People amaze me because they're all so different, from the way they dress to how much knowledge they have. Dancing, food, conversation, songs, tales, clothes, magic, and...well, everything! Whatever it is you wish, I'm excited to meet anyone and everyone. I hope you're just as excited!
