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.

*sexy muscle icon*

I'm available to serve your every need all night long. [wink]

EXAMPLE LADY | MODERNITY, A NOVEL

[(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!

AWESOME BEEFDUDE

[(Anonymous)]

[...fu. Don't even get to keep the coins. And that woman can't keep her plurals straight.]

Yes ma'am, right away. It'll be the best shopping bag carrying job you've ever seen!

*and it gets threaded out if they want*

Starfire | Teen Titans

[starbolts]

[Dressed neatly, holding up a sign advertising her strengths. She expects to corral lost puppies or lift cars or something.]

Billy Cranston | Power Rangers

[morphitudinous]

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

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.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

I can get behind that with no problems!

I can also make custom dinners, too.

[morphitudinous]

Glad to hear it.

What are your favorite dishes to cook? I'd like to try something that you enjoy---hey, it'll probably turn out better, right?

Kate Bishop/Hawkeye || Young Avengers

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

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

Dean Winchester || Supernatural

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

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

Celena Vantari

[curiousredsoul]

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

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.]

[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.

[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.

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

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

[uebercharge.livejournal.com]

Taking zhe gloves off never vas an option, meine Liebe. You get to choose zhe instrument, however. I vould suggest zhe classic violin. [Zhe bonesaw sounds funny tonight.]

[8wings.livejournal.com]

I bow to your superior taste, sir. Classic violin it will be. Would you like to choose one from the Inventory?

(extends omnicom with list already on display)

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

I love to cook mainly Japanese dishes, but I'm starting to get better versed with American dishes, too.

And, hey! Give me a cookbook and I'll try to whip up something good!

[morphitudinous]

One cookbook coming right up! I'm sure whatever it is will be fantastic.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

This will be very fun! And, I'll try my best!

[curiousredsoul]

I would be but happy to. Even currently I have recorded a number of sweeps through the city from my own vision. It would not do any harm to take another sweep with a camera.

[morphitudinous]

The still shots would help me study the architecture. It's a subject of personal interest.

Thank you, Celena.

*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?
