~AUCTION~ i_love_squats December 10 2010, 06:50:05 UTC

Zack climbs to the stage, clears his throat, and looks out amongst the crowd…the still chattering crowd. He clears his throat again, gets nothing, and after another second, finds himself hooking two fingers into the corners of his mouth and whistling. It’s a high-pitched screech that slices through errant murmuring like a knife, killing it dead ( ... )

~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ i_love_squats December 10 2010, 06:54:29 UTC

[Zack flips through the cards and pulls out the first one...one SO not written by him.]

To get things started, we have Sebastian Michaelis. Sebastian is from London (Pardon Zack, but he's going to say the word a bit slowly; there aren't Londons back on Gaia, after all.), which is also where they make awesome, in case you didn't know. He's super tall, very polite, likes butlering, cats, standing up, learning new stuff, and also he smells really good. Does he? I never noticed... You should probably take him somewhere nice, though, because look at his shirt. It's classy. He may not be a royal butler, but he's royally cute you guys!

I'll start the bidding at 30 ivories!

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ wellsuited December 10 2010, 15:09:14 UTC

One hundred ivories!

[Yet the bidding started at thirty...

Yeah, this is why Elena shouldn't be allowed to attend auctions. And she could probably get someone to dust for half that, really. But that's not the point anymore.

It's principle. PRINCIPLE.

Elena makes her way to the front of the crowd after calling out her bid. See her face, Sebastian. Know it. Memorize it.]

[Giant, excited woot!]

Go, Elena!

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ demon_andbutler December 10 2010, 18:20:27 UTC

[So this being sold for money thing. It's a bit new. Although not altogether different from what he usually sells himself for. And Dawn signed him up for it and he figured it impolite to refuse. And besides... as long as he's on good terms with her, he's on good terms with her cat.

He's just going to stand straight and tall, not even wincing when he hears what has to be Dawn's introduction.

... Nor when the blonde emerges from the crowd to bid a high price. He could guess who it is, but Dawn's exclamation confirms it.

Oh, Miss Elena Of-the-Turks. Finally they meet. Sebastian just glances sideways at Elena and cracks a smirk. Let her do as she pleases. If she wins him, she'll receive perfect service.

It is what he's good for.]

[One hundred? Where did that come from?

Jennifer rolls her eyes and slides up a bit in her seat, watching that Tall, Dark and Somewhat Demonic (what, like attracts like) guy.]

[Bet he has a bitchin' accent, too.]

110!

[Sure, why not?]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ demon_andbutler December 10 2010, 22:46:24 UTC

[Aha, competition? Now it's time to see just how determined Miss Elena is. Sebastian moves his eyes to get a look at the challenger, and-

What. The Hell. Is that.

The horror. The utter horror. It's one of his own kind, but... but... It.

Why is it INSIDE ITS FOOD?

He's barely able to keep his composure, even in front of a crowd of people.]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ wellsuited December 11 2010, 01:21:28 UTC

[110. So...it would make sense to go 115, right? Or maybe 120 if you prefer an even number.

But oh. Oh no.]

200!

[She works a lot. She's got a few ivories to spare.

And if not. Well. She can always beg Mello for more.]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ oopsiatehim December 11 2010, 01:26:37 UTC

[200? Really? Does this guy give good-- anyway.

Well, may as well find out!]

...210!

[...fuck, it's just like eBay. You can never resist throwing in just one more bean.

Besides. Why the hell is he looking at her like that?]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ wellsuited December 11 2010, 01:32:15 UTC

[...Wow, someone's place must be really dirty.]

300! No, wait...250!

[Oh no! She's shown weakness to the enemy! Elena blinks a couple of times before bidding against...herself.]

350!

[Does she even have that much to spare? She could always sell the grenades that she wrangled from the rats.

...But she really wanted those for herself.]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ oopsiatehim December 11 2010, 01:34:16 UTC

[...okay that's just way too much.]

[But.]

[She just can't help herself, so...]

...351.

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ wellsuited December 11 2010, 01:40:49 UTC

[351?! Elena sighs, her shoulders slumping a little with the action. She eyes Sebastian up and down. He does have a nice suit.

...Oh!]

351 and a suit!

[What? She has a closet full of spare Turk uniforms. They have value! They're like ivories in the bank!]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ oopsiatehim December 11 2010, 01:41:58 UTC

That's totally not a real bid. You can't buy shit with a suit.

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ i_love_squats December 11 2010, 01:45:30 UTC

[A... a suit?]

Laney, Jennifer's right. It has to be ivories, otherwise I'm gonna end up with people trying to bid weird stuff. Like...goldfish.

But if you need to be a little late on my pay one day to get out another bid, Elena, I can handle it. [Smirks. Anything to foil your plans, Jen.]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ wellsuited December 11 2010, 03:12:35 UTC

[Elena's quiet for a long time, her inner dilemma playing out across her expressions.

Finally, her eyes narrow.]

Four hundred!

[She'll get it. She'll get it if she had to get in that Arena herself.]

Re: ~Auction for Sebastian Michaelis~ demon_andbutler December 11 2010, 03:17:59 UTC

[Meat-suit abomination aside, Sebastian is pretty much loving this exchange.]
