dramatispersonae | Sterling 2

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.]]

...What kind of game is this...?

It's a competition between who's the most attractive.

I guess that's okay, even if the auction part is a little weird.

I take it she's not talking about warmth.

No, probably not.

I'm afraid I'm going to feel fairly useless for this one.

[sigh]

I'm not entirely sure about this as a game.

At least it's up to the people if they want to be put up, yeah?

It is that.

I wonder if it is an auction or if it is more of a method of judging attractiveness. Are we actually being bought by the winners?

Please comment with who will be your Contestant and Auctioneer

Contestant: Fleur
Auctioneer: Fang

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.

How would you all feel about pooling our resources together and bidding as a team. It seems the most effective way to come through as a team.

That sounds like it would be quite the date.

Don't take it the wrong way, but I'm less interested in that than in winning the game. The rest of you can take the date or leave it as you see fit.

That sounds like the best idea, and we'll be sure to win that way!

With luck, more than once.
