"Finally! Twenty-thousand! Going once..." The auctioneer, long lost his patience and control of his persperation, raises his gavel...

[WillowWhite]

shrugs and shakes her head
Well, fek. Will make it 10 an' my fancy gem. holds out a shiny blue gem that radiates magic Makes it 25. No' payin' more an' 'at for a fekin' slave, even if she does sing pretty.

"T'eny five n'a 'alf" ((25,500))

The auctioneer points at the teifling, "Twenty-five thousand, five hundred going once..."

[WillowWhite]

Giggles and slips the gem and large purse back into her pocket

[MoreThanThree]

"Going twice!" The Auctioneer raises his gavel.

[WillowWhite]

Steps back into her own shadow and vanishes as quickly as she appeared

[MoreThanThree]

"And the lovely Human Bard is sold to the lovely teifling!" The auctioneer bangs his gavel thrice.

Corella furtively snickers beneath cowl and mask alike, seeing her way back out of the crowd.

"...what fools we mortals be. Enjoy your 'king-blooded' ballad-crooner, my bonnie horned trollop...."

[Wids]

(Ah, that was fun. MT3 even sent me a Tell last night, thanking Corella for randomly moseying in just to spike the bids. Of course, Bertram also sent me a Tell along the lines that Brandon was on her case for costing him that slave, but c'est la guerre. :D )

(And if any of you future auctioneers want a secret partner in the crowd driving up the bids, contact your nearest temple of Leira. And remember to tithe generously. ;) )
