(I'm sorry it's such a short notice this time, Christmas, and exams are scary.)

It's once again that time of year! The time of hearts touching, of kinship, and warmth! What better time to show your feelings for one another than Mercala's own birthday? And what better way to show how much you truly care than to give away charity to those who need it!

The Four Seasons Company, in association with Stella Trading, once again bring you yet another wonderful opportunity to show how much you care for your fellow people, and this time in a manner unlike any other! We got an exclusive deal with none other than the Imperial Guard, whom have graciously offered themselves as candidates for potential dates!

But wait, there's more! Are you a local business? Do you want a stand among our little Yuletide festival area to serve from? We'll offer you the facilities to run your own little area if you care to! You may contact Four Seasons Ly (MakeshiftWalrus#7604) with anything related to it! We only ask that it remains in heart of the holidays.

We sincerely hope to see you there.

Many kind words,

Stella Trading, Elaine Vance,

Four Seasons, Ly.

The Yuletide festival start at:

26th of December, 4 PM EST

The auction itself will start at 6 PM EST

This time we're doing it a little different. Due to feedback, we've opted to aim for more equal opportunity for everyone involved, and instead created a simple lottery system. I'll be explaining the rules briefly here, feel free to DM me on Discord if there are anything you're confused about.

Rules:
- Tickets will be 500 real Murai each.

- You may buy as many tickets as you'd like, within below specifications.

- You may only have 10 tickets on one individual person.
- Example: You may have 10 tickets on Julien, and also 6 on Faye, but no more than 10 on Julien.
- You may not give your tickets to other people once purchased.
- We'll be using a simple roll of 1dX to figure out who won, where X is the total tickets sold for that individual person.

The list of those you can bid on will come closer to the date.

As will a picture of where it will be held.

The location can be found here, just east of Majistra portal in Cellsvich!

The list of amazing people you can bid on so far is:

- Julien:

A seasoned member of the First Squad, with charms just as powerful as his sense of justice, and duty! 

He enjoys more classy arts, such as dancing, and fine wine-tasting when he isn't performing heroics!

- Isamu:

Our own, fire-punching flame! His tastes lean spicy in both food, and women, but despite that he's more than happy to chill out with anyone!

If you like a rowdy, excitement-driven man of passion, he's your man!

- Nero:

The very definition of a gentle giant! You wouldn't believe him to be a guard at all when you first looked at him, but don't let his fluffy visage fool you, he's as tough as they come!

He'd like to take a lucky someone on a wonderful trip, and rumor goes it might be to a flower-field! How romantic!

- Chillian:

Stalwart, and resolute! When he isn't busy fighting for the safety of our homes, he fights the menace of weeds in his garden! Not only can he whip a meal together that would make Risu herself drool, he can do it all home-grown! Even if he's looking to swing with you handsome men out there, he'd be more than happy to spend time with a cute woman!

- James:

If the soothing calm of a pianist's gentle tones is your speed, then James is who you're looking for!

A man of stillness, but never dullness, he'll bring you the date you want whether on a platter with a nice, home-cooked meal, or under the stars on a warm hill!

- Faye

You'll be hard-pressed to find a more magical feline than this one, just be careful she doesn't enchant you at first sight!

She likes to spend her time with a pleasant cup of tea, perhaps accompanied with a fine meal, and equally fine company!

- Furuta:

Everyone's favourite Serpentkin! You wouldn't know it from looking at her, but she's got a warm side behind that all-too-sweet smile of hers!

If you're daring enough to take this Naga on a date, you'll surely find more entertainment than you could possibly handle in one sitting!

- Eiael

A shockingly pleasant woman of faith! Don't let her wit discourage you, she's just playing hard to get!

If you swing her by he local library, her Karatynn blood would adore you for it, but if books are too boring for you, we heard she doesn't mind a drink out in town!

(This list is prone to changing at the whims of life.)
