dramatispersonae

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.]]

Whaaaaaaat.

So, thoughts?

...Wow. Uh, so, not me for contestant, then.

You're plenty cute.

People are supposed to bid on "attractive," though... But maybe we should just consider who'd be the better auctioneer instead.

I'm not sure how well I'd do at either of them.

I think you'd be a good contestant, but probably Kira would be best and have the most fun at it... I can auction if you don't feel up to it.

She'd definitely be the best at it. I don't know what the hell I'd say as the auctioneer, honestly! I'm usually stealing goods, not waxing poetic about them.

I'm going to get Kira to script it for me...

Well, she knows her own best qualities!

Ah, how unfair. Kunzite is full of cute people.

...I think Kira'd be good at either of them.

[She is INCREDIBLY vain, so does think she's the prettiest. KUNZITE'S CUTE, but so vain. :)]

...mah, should I even pretend what I think?

I could sell, if neither of you feel up to it.

It's fine, it's fine. You're our best candidate for contestant, I think, and if you'd help me come up with some stuff to say I could be the auctioneer?

Of course. Thinking of good points is easy.

[nods!]

Sounds good, then! Where should I start...

Looks are rather self evident. You don't need to wax poetics there, so try other things. Fun personality, intelligent, things like that.

[Looking through the pretty things.]

Would the whole 'powerful sorceress' thing attract the wrong crowd...

Hmmm, talented might be the better word.

But some people do like something with a dash of power to it.

A beautiful, talented sorceress with a playful personality and sharp mind...?

That's a good start. But play it up. Energy is key for any auctioneer.

[pffft]

"And now! Bid for your chance to spend a lovely time with this goooorgeous contestant--!"

Yes, yes, like that!

I'm not sure how long I could keep it up, but I'll do my best.

I believe in you. If you start tripping, I'll give some helpful hints.

[Because why not take advantage of an ability. \o/]

We'll do great.

Without a doubt.

Starting bid of 60? A little higher than some of them because-- well, it's you, but not at the upper limit like some of them are asking for in the first round...

[This is why you're the best, Snow.]

Hmm, that's definitely fair. Low enough to get some interest, high enough to have people ready for a fight.

All right. We'll go with that.

Ah, this is exciting.

[Been a while since she's gotten a whole bunch of attention.]

Please comment with who will be your Contestant and Auctioneer

Contestant: Kira
Auctioneer: Snow

Please go here and vote once on who your character thinks is the hottest. This poll is not ICly visible or something the character is ICly aware of, but you should vote their IC decision. Vote with each character journal if you're playing multiples.

[Once you're all prettied up, the urge to step out on the stage arises and the auction begins! Instructions can be found here]
