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.

Anwei's fingers tap silently away at her computer keys, but she pauses for long moments, eyes half-lidded with pleasure, immersing herself in the music as it shivers and echoes within the great open expanse of Engineering.

When he is done, she applauds with genuine enthusiasm.

"Wonderful, sir. Thank you so much! Medical skills and musical talent - if we weren't in this unfortunate situation, I would certainly extend an invitation for you to interview with the Vizsnunishne Mercenaries. You'd be a shoo-in."

Well, okay, there is that...

I'd not mind playing for ye. I'll go fetch them, then.

[And maybe the pennywhistle too, just in case she changes her mind.]

Kilt drabble here I come...

Take your time. I'll meet you down in Engineerin' in about an hour, how's that?

[ Don't worry Jamie, she won't be changing her mind. ]

[bonnypiperlad]

Now that is an excellent idea.

Aye. I'll see ye there, Kaylee.

[He shows up sooner then that, though. Now to hope that the noise bagpipes make doesn't wind up shaking anything loose...]

[He bows.]

I am glad you enjoyed it. But I am afraid, zhat, if ve vere not in zhis situation, I vould not be allowed to follow such an invitation due to my contract vizh RED.

[She dips her head in return, looking quite pleased with the entire performance]

"I entirely understand. We professionals must get along as best we can in...unstructured...situations like this, musn't we? I only hope that we both find the day when we can help get things in better order around here."
