dramatispersonae | Tiger's Eye

Stepping through the curtains behind your team's stage, you find yourself in a green room with a line of mirrors and make up along one wall, a wardrobe along the other, and a nice catering spread on the third. In the middle of the room is a table with a pink notice written in sparkly purple pen that reads:

Aather's First Ever Total Hottie Auction

Have you ever wondered who's the hottest, most attractive, most fantastic person in all of Aather? Well it's obviously me, but number two counts for something, right?

Today we're going to have an contest to find out who's the hottest of the hot in Aather's First Ever Total Hottie Auction! First you'll need to decide among your team who's got the hots to rival everyone else. Next, pick an auctioneer who's got what it takes to sell your stuff. I'm giving you some supplies so like totally don't cheat on making yourself look beautiful!

Once all the contestants are decided it's time to let the bidding begin! We'll have three rounds of super fast super fun auctions! Everyone gets 500 points to bid but don't be afraid to be creative to bag a good one, okay?

Like, let the game begin!

[[OOC Instructions:

Pre Game:

Your teams must ICly decide on who will be their contestant for the game and who will be the auctioneer. You can also use selfies/trashy.com/what have you to dress your contestant up. Please try to keep this discussion brief.

Auctions:

There will be three rounds of auctions. Each character has 500 points for bidding for the entire game. You may bid on multiple contestants per round but you'll be penalized for bidding more than your total number of points, so bid wisely!

Outside of the auctions, points can be given and exchanged only within a team. For example, Bob and Sue are on Peridot. Bob can give all his points to Sue, giving Sue 1000 points. But Sue cannot give her 1000 points to Jill on Tiger's Eye.

Bids for contestants are not limited to points. Feel free to add other things into your bids, like offers to do chores or perform a service for the team in question.]]

You've lost all your memories but one. I don't suppose that's occurred to you just yet.

I know that already. [ nom ] 's nothing important.

... you don't think having an amnesia is important?

There's nothing important I remember.

[siiiighs and rubs her forehead]

In any case, you've been brought to the Ring for a game.

Game?

[ I thought this was just a feast?? ]

Yes. Can you read?

[ ... looking around the room once ]

Read what? [ that's a no. ]

[picks up the notice]

The instructions are, er, odd to say the least, but I can relay them to you.

[ nods, taking a bite of some bread... ]

[reads it]

[ ... drops his bread ]

You're selling slaves!? What kind of a game is that—I'm not doing that!

It isn't a real auction; it's only a game, and no one is being sold off for true. However, I understand the reluctance--Sieh isn't participating for that reason, either.

[ hfff, reaching down to pick up his bread ]

Huh. That's weird. [ but I guess if you're not really selling off slaves I don't have a problem with it.. '-' ]

Games in general tend to be rather unusual. We play them in order to push back the Darkness that threatens this world.

[ nods, taking a bite of the fallen bread. ]

Who are we selling?

Joy.

[gestures to the other woman in yellow]

[ looking Joy over :|a ]

's she strong?

She is swift.

Okay. Guess it's fine, then.

She's fairly new as well, so she is still piecing together things from her memories, but... that aside, may I ask what is it you remember? To help you come up with a name.

.. I remember a story. About Vinland, the land of pastures.

Vinland... interesting. That's one option. Can you tell me more about the story?

'm not exactly sweet-smelling grass. [deadpan.]

.. Leif Ericson is the one who went there. He told us about it; it's warmer than Iceland, with forests and grass for sheep to graze on. There are skraelings, people without whiskers or beards 'n they wear this.. [ moves hand above his head ] Feather hat if they're true warriors. [ pauses, and looks at Naoto... ]

Are you a skraeling?

Eh? Ah, no, I'm Japanese. So you are from Iceland?
