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.

Violins are delicate devices. I vould razher use my own, as I know it better zhan an instrument I hold for zhe first time.

[curiousredsoul]

I shall endeavor to take as many as I can for your studies then.

You are most welcome.

How thoughtful of you to bring your own! I'm afraid the acoustics in Engineering may not be the best, but I am still looking forward to your performance. I'll just sit here at my computer.

(ponders) I'm afraid most of the music of my species is about either food or power, and 'Throttling the Infants of the False King' really wouldn't translate very well to the violin. You may choose the piece to play, then.

[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.]

You were going to get that for free!

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

[birthmural]

It is- was not a fire spirit.

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

That is not how this works. I think that you are confused.

[birthmural]

No, you are confused. Do not tell me how my own body works- worked.

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

I did not tell you how it works, just a thing to say!

It is not hard to say a thing. Look at me, I am doing it right now. Are you too cowardly then?

[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.]

[birthmural]

It is not a matter of cowardice. It is a matter of what is true.

[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.]

[withteethbared.livejournal.com]

I think that I am right and it was a fire spirit. You are just embarrassed.

It's okay. Once Bleeds-For-Fenris had a fire spirit on his head too. Except it was very mad and he got lots of scars that time.

HARD back rubs, or light data entry.

You'll have to raise the stakes and appeal for the good of the meatship

[birthmural]

I am NOT embarrassed. I DO NOT HAVE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A FIRE SPIRIT ON MY HEAD!

[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'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.]

[curiousredsoul]

True, though gold to a good cause I'd say.

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Well, you could always ask for more, or something else...

[uebercharge.livejournal.com]

Zhe acoustics vill haff to do.

Und you vill haff to tell me about zhat music one day. But just as you vish, I shall pick somezhing fitting zhis time. You vant me to start right avay?

[curiousredsoul]

You do have a point there, perhaps some magical experimentation of sorts to follow at some point.
