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.

Has to include at least one meal and a few hours of a nap.

[ She's just grinning, and trying REALLY hard not to laugh. ]

Your arms, Billy.

[morphitudinous]

Understood. You'll make sure the department's okay without me, right?

[Lowers his arms. So confused.]

I don't understand why that's worth fifty credits and cookies, but I don't see any harm in it. Go ahead.

'Course I will. Be in tip-top shape when you get back, you'll see.

[ Her hands move to his closest arm, fingers lightly brushing over the biceps. It only takes a few seconds before she gives his arm a squeeze and pulls back. ]

Completely worth it.

[morphitudinous]

Thank you.

[He's pink-faced and slightly confused by now, staring at his arm after her as if it's grown green hairs.]

It's not that remarkable...is it?

[Feels up his own arm as if noticing the muscle for the first time. When did that get there?]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

'Course it is. You ever look in a gorram mirror, Billy?

[morphitudinous]

Not too often. I'm usually more concerned with cleaning my teeth than evaluating my appearance.

[His somewhat messy hair should be enough to tell her that. Good thing he can't see his own blush right now.]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Alright then, 'nother fifty credits and you gotta spend five minutes lookin' at yourself in a mirror.

[morphitudinous]

Very well, but what will that do?

[ffff he is so confused. Definitely does not think of himself this way.]

You're a good-lookin' guy, Billy. Go realize it.
