We'll start the bidding at two beans and a tentacle

the auction meme

Congratulations, everyone! The meatship's short on money, and you know what that means? More of yours is needed! The problem will be solved by auctioning volunteers off to other crew members. Once bid on, you'll be providing services to whoever bought you. Have fun with that.

RULES:

-If you're putting someone up to auction, make a post. Try to present your character in as good of a light as possible!
-Place a bid for a specific service. Everyone has unlimited money here, so use as much or as little as you want and bid on as many crew members as you want!
-No bidding for sexytimes. This isn't the kink meme, that'll be soon enough. Bidding for things like prom dates and kisses, though? Acceptable and encouraged! The more fun and frivolous (or emotional and tempting)? The better!
-Optionally play out the requested favor.
-Players and characters have the right to refuse to honor bids that squick them out. It's for fun, not an OOC obligation.

I will be placing an example of a bidding thread in the comments to show you how it works.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll pay you 24 gold coins and a fresh baked cookies if you would be a dear and carry my shopping bags, hun!

Starfire | Teen Titans

[starbolts]

Billy Cranston | Power Rangers

[morphitudinous]

[And Billy, offering all the repairs you could ever want for a low low price.]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

A hundred credits for you to take a break...throw in an extra fifty and some cookies, you let me touch those arms of yours...

Hoshi Hikari | Beyblade

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

[ She's dressed differently, like this (http://infinite-progression.deviantart.com/art/Change-of-Appearance-171521930) with a sign that says:

- Good with children
- Excellent cook
- Seraphiel is also included

And the eagle is sitting on her head, looking pretty and all that. ]

[morphitudinous]

[Excellent cook? Hmm...ideas, ideas!]

30 notes and three custom Beyblades for a dinner, whatever you want to make. I'm a hopeless cook, but I can buy the ingredients on the next shore leave. We'll have a break from the amorphous nutritional substance so generously given to us.

Kate Bishop/Hawkeye || Young Avengers

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

*Hero for hire, archer teacher or cellist for your party. She's flexible!*

[morphitudinous]

20 units for an archery lesson?

I don't expect to be as good at it as my friend was, but I'm curious about it.

Dean Winchester || Supernatural

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

*Got that classic vehicle that needs a special touch? A little supernatural pest control? Sign advertising the same*

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Can offer a fresh cherry pie 'n twenty-five credits for some help in the hangar?

Celena Vantari

[curiousredsoul]

*Have a problem, magical or technical, perhaps this dragon could help*

[morphitudinous]

[Drops 20 coins]

Would you take an aerial survey of the City if we rigged up a camera for you? We've mapped it out already, but I'm interested in closer shots---studying and comparing the architecture.

RED Medic || Team Fortress 2

[uebercharge.livejournal.com]

[If you need someone vivisected or just a talented violin player for your party, place your bid here.]

Re: RED Medic || Team Fortress 2

[8wings.livejournal.com]

I bid forty quatloos for your violin-playing services while I work on this database translation. Plus a five-quatloo bonus if you leave the gloves on.

Aibghalien Marsai || D&D 3.5 edition, Birthright setting

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

*King! Wizard! Capable of reshaping the VERY FABRIC OF REALITY ITSELF!*

*Tempting indeed, have a playful dragon*

Hmm, a bid of 46 gold coins for that candle-lit dinner you spoke of, what do you say?

The Master Chief | Halo

[prettycoolguy]

[Kills aliens, doesn't afraid of everything, good at linefacing. Feel free to be creative.]

[birthmural]

[Look at those muscles, ladies and gentlemen! And no tattoo birthmark anymore! No demonic darksoul to deal with, no. All you've got now is one world renowned exorcist and expert in demonlogy.]

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

I will bid the choice part of my next kill on you admitting you had a fire spirit on your head.

[ayasofia.livejournal.com]

[Take this hot 18 (almost 19 now? Dude it's been a while) year old. She has wind powers, is outgoing, friendly, and can probably drink you under the table.]

[staturity]

[Miraculously not dead!Cassie. Do I need to introduce?]

[hexyeah]

[Oh boy, where do I start. Look at those curves! Powerful mutant with hex power and magic. Also she's hot. And just plain awesome. Also a good dancer.]

Anwei Ayles

[8wings.livejournal.com]

HARD back rubs, or light data entry.

Tex | Red vs. Blue

[domeanthings.livejournal.com]

[Tex glowers. Her holo has the distinctly red tint of torked-off AI. Though it serves as a nice reminder that she's a powerhouse of rage, violence, and skull-ripping expertise in a small, meatpuppeting package.]

Cagalli Yula Atha | Gundam SEED

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

[Cagalli's no fan of dresses but sometimes... sometimes it's appropriate. Like this.

Even when her talents are politics, mobile suits, and guerrilla warfare.

Stupid silly stuff.]

Sho Fukamachi/Guyver I

[bio-boosted.livejournal.com]

[Sweet Japanese high school student with immense powers of a bio-boosted alien armor. Willing to do a lot of things and good for company.]

Jamie McCrimmon | Doctor Who

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie also has a sign describing his strengths, which unfortunately is upside down. At least he's got nice legs?]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Fifty credits for the kilt

Give you thirty credits and some fresh-baked cornbread for your help in mappin' the engines further?

Kaylee Frye || Firefly

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]
