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.

[shrugs]

I don't see what's so strange about it. The real problem is picking the one in here who'll appeal to the largest amount of people. We're all very attractive.

...That is a problem. We might have to draw lots.

Perhaps.

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.

[brushes her fingers up under Oree's chin thoughtfully]

We could always just make you the auctionee. You'd do well.

I would consider it, perhaps, if there was a consensus. However it isn't arrogance; I'm just fairly certain whether or not I'm "hot" is going to be as unimportant to me after this game as it has been to this point.

No, she isn't.

Well, I'm sure I'll manage somehow.

We'll definitely figure something out!

Do you think it's something you would like to do?

[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?

I won't care if someone wants to spend time with me.

And you would most likely do well. You would be striking on stage.

It's a bit of a...weird set-up.

A bit, it is true.

My, my... but I suppose it is harmless enough to go along with it.

Which role do you want?

I could be the auctioneer, unless you prefer it.
