STUDENT/FACULTY AUCTIONS

[stay_classy_cat]

Who: Everyone
What: STUDENT/FACULTY AUCTIONS
Where: Auditorium
When: Friday, March 23rd
Warnings: A for AUCTIONS

It's that time again, where the school's impressive auditorium is filled with rows and rows of folding chairs, and prospective buyers take a seat while those waiting to be sold line up on the stage. At the podium, there is Seth Richardson; looking both thrilled and not thrilled to be here.

"Welcome, everyone to our Student-Faculty Auction! As you may or may not know, Host Club has invested a fair share of funding into this event to make it as wonderful as it should be. You should thank everyone in Host Club for all their hard work."

Yes, it had taken a rather large exertion on his part, and yes he was sure he could think of better things to do but, if all went well, his investment would see, ahem, some return in his own pocket.

Not that anyone needed to know that.

"Let's get started, shall we?"


[[APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY FOLKS. At this and pretty much everything this event. We'll use this experience and future-date things a week in advance next time. There are some RULES TO THIS AUCTION so PLEASE READ:

• Help us and your fellow players out by also commenting in the TITLE with your BIDDING AMOUNT.
  
• Try be IC with character's money amounts... or lack thereof. We are pretty flexible and want you to have fun and you are allowed creative work-arounds; lying and loan sharks and playing out the subsequent consequences of those sorts of things are excellent options I fully endorse.
  
• One purchase per person. Bidding on multiple people is very encouraged, but you will only walk out of here with one.
  
• People in the auctions are allowed to bid on other people in the auctions.
  
• Auctioned people can come with a highly recommended Crazy Hand brand obedience collar™. These will be optional OOC, but if you utilize them they will be mandatory IC.
  
• If you don't see a thread for your character and you want in, don't hesitate to make one for yourself! If you see a thread for your character and you want out, don't comment or (preferably) leave a note and we can delete no problem.
  
• We'll try to help you as far as clarifying who wins who, but this will primarily be left up to player discretion. Use of ((OOC NOTES)) is highly recommended as RNG will not be involved. Unless. You want it to.
  
• Plotting and planning thread was here if it helps.]]

"One grrrand for the god!"

$1001

[hissyfit]

NO BAD LET THE WEIRD LITTLE GREEN IMP LADY HAVE IT.

"FUCK. One thousssand and one!"

$2000

[receiveyou]

"TWO GRRRAND!"

Wow now you were obviously just messing with her.

100,000$

[will_be_god]

He wasn't about to stand for this. He'd cleared a route to a considerable sum for this sole purpose, and it wasn't as if Saturn was using the Galactic funds for anything worthwhile.

So focused was he on his goal that he neglected to respond to the heckling. This was exactly his plan, to let others bid out and then move in.

"One hundred thousand dollars."

$150 000

[receiveyou]

Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my largest-crime-organization-in-the-entire-world money.

"Hundred fifty thou, punk."

500,000$

[will_be_god]

This wasn't working the way Cyrus had planned. No one else was supposed to have this combination of interest and funds.

But he had plenty of room to work with.

"Five hundred thousand dollars."

700,000$

[receiveyou]

Obviously he had neglected to look into the other crime lords in town. Big mistake.

"Step up to seven hundred K's."

[truffulatree]

Celebi stared into her quarter bag.

Hm.

She's all yours, buddy. I'd ask you to punch her in the face, but it seems I'm the only one that wants to so just roll with it.

CELEBI OUT.

derp

[receiveyou]

What. What was this brain talky.

[truffulatree]

Deal with it.

PS. That guy is a major tool just so you know.

[receiveyou]

Oh lovely, he'd keep that in mind.

1,000,000

[will_be_god]

Though Cyrus had far more money than he could ever spend on his own, he still prefered to keep expenses down when possible. This was the most money that Team Galactic had ever spent on any single thing since the construction of their headquarters.

And yet he would pay it willingly.

"One million dollars."

Arceus would be his.

$1 500 000

[receiveyou]

Construction, you say?

Because people give Majima that kind of money to do construction.

"One point five million."

1,500,050

[will_be_god]

He had a bit more, but it would be best to tap Majima out first, or at least get his guard down.

"One million, five hundred thousand, fifty dollars."

1 600 000

[receiveyou]

"One point six."

He was in no way backing down. From the way this deadpanning loser had jumped in with his bid, it was obvious he had too much at stake to chump out now.

[thewunderkind]

WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON. So much for Lash's plan blowing a cool few hundred getting herself the ultimate Pokemon.

(Also she was totally jealous.)

$1,600,002

[hissyfit]

No, Eli, what are you doing that. You are being stupid.

"One million, six-hundred thousand and two dollars."

instigatin'

[receiveyou]

"Oh, verrry cute."

Ha ha. You are being so stupid.

Re: instigatin'

[thewunderkind]

"What?! There is no way that you have that much money!" Actually Lash didn't know her, but she definitely didn't look like someone who had a cool few millions under her bed.

LASH STOP BEING JEALOUS.

[vianca]

She had just come because it was a good chance to watch ~social behavior.~

Vianca might have choked on air a little.

NO, NO SHE DIDN'T LOOK THAT TYPE AT ALL.

moar instigatin'

[receiveyou]

"Get'er to a loan shark firm, and then she could~"

And then Eli could also be in debt forever HA HA HA.

GET OUT OF HERE

[kamurolifeline]

Yes hello-- NO GET OUT.

2,000,800

[will_be_god]

Two million was his limit. That and what he had on hand at the moment, only about eight hundred dollars. As important as this was, he couldn't run the risk of bankrupting Team Galactic over some information. There would be other ways of obtaining it.

But he wouldn't give up. He would fight to the last.

"Two million, eight hundred dollars."

That was his final bid.

[hissyfit]

YES, GOOD, TAKE IT.

$2,000,800.01

[receiveyou]

It was at this point that Majima actually stood up to stare down the man that'd been waging this bidding war with him. He had a gleaming, twisted look in his eyes and... actually, their skin complexions were both pretty similar.

"Guess what, numbnuts? It doesn't matter how much ya bid, I can beat ya. The money's goin' to the school, and the school's gonna spend it on construction. And guess who they go to? ME.

"Eitherrr way that money's goin' in my pocket. I can do this all day - an' you can't. That's checkmate fer ya, dumbass~!

"Two million, eight hundred and one cent."

Majima grinned like a demon, just daring Cyrus to try and challenge him.
