Date Auction Meme

[withbite]

Feeling a bit down with the war looming ahead of you? What better way to raise some money for the cause than by bidding what you have on a lovely Bachelor or Bachelorette of your dreams?



1) Participants can either auction themselves or friends can sign them up for the auction!
2) Make sure to add a starting price!
3) Bidders can be anyone.
4) Please put the character's name and canon in the header.

Bidding ends... whenever. Dammit, this is Fairyland, Jim. Time has no hold here. The reward is dinner with whomever they bid on (or whatever else was agreed on). Multiple winners are allowed (because this is a meme, okay? Okay.)


Side note. This is FAKE money. No real money. Just RP pretend time money.

Javik | Mass Effect

[notavirtue]

[Starting price: 5 gold. He's a cheap date, and also there's no way he put himself up here.]

[fairyfoes]

[ Very nearly jumping out of her seat in her haste. ]

15!

Waver Velvet; Fate/Stay Thingie

[thebreakingwave]

[ Harry clambers up on stage with a helpful diagram. ]

Let's talk about my good friend Waver Velvet.

If we're raising funds for the rebuild of The Barrel, who better to bid on than him? He's good fun, provided you keep him in coffee, and if you behave, Rin probably won't threaten you all that much.

Do I hear twenty five?

[gandere]

[ Rin laughing alone with salad.jpg ]

[digophelia]

[ It's so funny, even Alice has to let out a laugh. ]

Vol'jin; World of Warcraft

[thebreakingwave]

He's tall enough to hang your new curtains! And strong enough to open stubborn jars of jam! And makes for really good company in general, although he might be a bit better at cards than he admits to. (Not that I'm saying I've lost to him, but I'm saying it's a possibility.)

Who'll ante up twenty-five for an evening with Vol'jin.

[notavirtue]

Fifty.

[They already had a speed date, so why the hell not. Save him from dating a human.]

Nerdanel | Tolkien

[sculptor_of_aman]

[Someone clearly must have put her up to this. She wouldn't sell herself on her own.

But let's talk about Nerdanel, shall we?

Look at that beautiful copper hair--very rare for a Noldo, and the only woman of her people known to sport that color. Make her yours, and you can do as you please with those lovely locks.

She's an artist! Seeks inspiration everywhere she goes! Brilliant and curious, a real Renaissance woman, and strong and excellent with her hands! The conversation is sure to never be dull around her! Perhaps she'll even put her artistic services to work for you, anything you want, from sketches to sex toys!

But perhaps she's best known for being a mother. Once married to the son of the High King, she bore seven beautiful, powerful, brilliant, fearsome sons. Such passion, such strength!

Obviously, she's a valuable and charming specimen! Who could put a price on such companionship? But shall we start the bids at 50 gold for this lovely Elf?]

The Brucolac; The Scar

[thebreakingwave]

He might be a pain in the neck, but he looks better than half decent under the right sort of light. If you want to spend the evening learning to swear strong enough to strip paint, or be entertained with wild stories, this might be the vampir for you.

Now, who'll throw in twenty-five for a night of bad ideas with The Brucolac?

[fairyfoes]

[ Harry, you should be offering people money to take that troublemaker.

Shaking her head. ]

Prince Edgar | King's Quest

[edgar_of_etheria]

[Not sure who dragged this lad up there, but he stands there shyly and blushing.

He's a pretty fellow, isn't he? And very good at following orders! Innocent in many ways, yes, but I'm sure plenty of you out there would enjoy teaching him a thing or two, eh? Truly, he is a kind, gentle, beautiful creature, straight out of a fairytale! Indeed, he's a real, genuine fairy prince, and sure to make whichever lucky person takes him home feel like a princess--or even a prince, if that's how you like it!

So, for a night of fairytale magic, let's start him at 30?]

Harry Potter; Harry Potter and the Thing

[gordianknots]

Now, a number of you might be looking at the kind words Mr Potter has said about a number of us, and think that this is payback.

I promise that this is no such thing. As anyone who has interacted with Mr Potter knows, he is unfailingly kind, loyal, and dare I say eyecatching?

Bad prosthetic jokes aside, I can absolutely ensure that any number of date-like activities would be deeply enjoyable with Mr Potter. Of course, if his friend Linn is coming will be up to you all to discuss.

Let's start at thirty, and move up from there.

[thebreakingwave]

[ Sigh. He knows he deserves it and it's for charity, but still. Sigh. ]

Alyosha; NPC

[thebreakingwave]

She's glorious, brilliant, terrifying, and there's no one who doesn't adore her. I know I'm speaking quickly here, but I suspect that as soon as I'm done, I'm going to need to run for my life.

Who'll offer twenty-five for dinner with Alyosha?

[ ...and he's not running away, so much as advancing in reverse. Quickly. ]

[withbite]

[Available female? Sign him up.]

Twenty-five.

BOLIN; legend of what's her face

[sangilak]

He's buff, he's funny, he's got a huge...

... heart.

Let's start the bidding at fifteen.

[jaywalks]

You pay for him, you're responsible for all and any stupid situations!

James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes

[starspangled]

He's handsome, protective, and a good listener.

He's a catch, so let's start at twenty-five.

[snipers]

Thirty!

[ look someone needs to carry her shopping bags, ok. bucky's got the muscle. ]

Damon Salvatore | TVD

[withbite]

[Put up by Fernando. Starting bid, 25 gold.

Fernando will then go into deep, descriptive detail of all of Damon's attributes.

All of them.

Yes, even that one.]

[fairyfoes]

[ Leans back and kicks up her feet onto a nearby chair. ]

One thousand.

Saralegui | That thing with the stuff

[withbite]

[Prompting by Damon had Fernando putting Saralegui up for auction as well. Why? Why him?

There may have been mention of Sara's pretty hair. Maybe. The size of his... resources were also brought up.

Ahem.]

25 Gold.

[enthraller]

[Really? This is the thanks he gets for giving you Fernando?]

Alice Liddell

[chaoticwhimsy]

She's pretty, she's helpful, she's...well, she's a bit too serious for her own good, but that's what your here for, huh? That's right, iiiiiiiiit's Alice!

[Lumina is the best salesperson shut up. The child is really trying not to giggle.]

She can cook you something wonderful or stab your enemies to death! All while worrying about your skinned knee! Can you think of a better date than all of that at the same time?

I'm thinking twenty, let's go, don't delay!

[digophelia]

[ She cannot even sort through normal social interactions, and she finds this? ]

Lumina!

hermione granger ; she deserves her own series

[sangilak]

Now I know I don't have to play up this girl's attributes.

Starting bid at 100*.



*reserving the right to turn away certain bidders

[jaywalks]

One twenty.

[ WE;RE GONNA HAVE A BOOK DATE. ]

FAOLAN THE HOUND; Bridei Chronicles

[knightscode]

[ Does Lancelot have Faolan's permission for this?

No.

Is he doing it anyway?

Yes. ]

For those of you who have not met him, I can assure you Faolan is a kind and loyal man -- once you get past the rough edges. He's one of the best men I know, and in terrible need of a night off. I'll even pay for the meal -- it may take the edge of his desire for revenge. So! Dinner with the handsome bodyguard, starting bid of 25?

[ SURELY FAOLAN'S OATH MEANS HE CAN'T INJURE LANCELOT FOR THIS... ]

[brainiest]

Fourty!

[ Because Faolan. ]

Lancelot (BBC) | this means war, good sir

[reticence]

It seems almost a sacrilege really that the auction has gone on this long and one of the Drabwurld's most elusive and at the same time coveted bachelors has gone thus far unmentioned.

[Is Faolan surprised that no one has mentioned Lancelot so far? Of course, given the number of people mooning after him on a regular basis, man and woman alike, and the complete and utter disregard the other man pays them at the same time. Is he about to take the something of the piss with this offer, given the opportunity and the fact that Lancelot has already mentioned him himself? You'd better believe it.]

I am speaking, of course, my dear fellows, of none other than Sir Lancelot du Lac, Seelie Marshall of Caer Glaem, Knight of the Golden Cadre, Hartslayer, and heartbreaker. Regularly found giving heroic addresses to the Seelie court or out in the field rescuing puppies from wells, no doubt, among other things. He is a good man, with a heart of a gold and a face that could no doubt melt butter if given half the chance, favored by the Seelie Queen herself, but overworked and desperately in need of a night off and time spent away from the job for a change.

A few words to the wise, however. Whatever your plans, I'd be careful with the wine if I were you - he's got a low tolerance for such things, and not in a pleasant way. And be sure you treat him well and be mindful of his sensitivities; there are a great many here who will be after you if you don't. I've heard his hound in particular has a nasty bite. [Hurhurhur]

Starting at thirty for this high-commodity, do we have any bids?

[knightscode]

[ How dare you ]

High Queen Morla herself | NPC

[gordianknots]

This is a gamble, and one I actually fully expect to lose my head for, but since the Unseelie disregard tradition I might as well make an attempt: High Queen Morla.

I believe that all books, titles, and otherwise do speak for themselves, and obviously Seelie be cautious, but let us at least note that among all the monarchs present, she'd probably be willing to entertain this nonsense.

So, with good faith meant by this, let's open the bidding at seventy five.

[thebreakingwave]

I was waiting for someone to try this.

An even hundred.

Gendry | The Blacksmith Guy

[aliased]

He doesn't always smell so bad.
He can be nice, sometimes.
He's strong.
He glistens.
He's tall.
He's practically a prince.
And he knows to make swords.

[steeledskin]

[ in a helpful whisper: ] Arya. It's only fair you warn them of his scowling.

[ there's no use in auctioning off the blacksmith only to find someone clamouring for a refund when he pulls stupid faces through the first date. ]

stiles stilinski ;; teen woofs

[wilee]

[ Malia's starting the bid at twenty-five! because she's seen that number a lot here!

also!

she'll probably be joining on this "DATE" because she's possessive as hell but hey

people deserve a chance to go out with Stiles. who wouldn't want a chance to go out with Stiles?

well, some people.

people she approves of. ]

Mordred | Fate/apocrypha |

[hiddeninfidelity]

[Price: The Willingness to put up with Mordred for a night.]

[gordianknots]

[This is who'll be looking after Rin? Fuck it, time for an excuse to get to know them.]

One hundred.

Merida → Brave

[notyetlegend]

[who on earth thought this was a good idea?

starting price: 25]

[red_branch]

[IS BROKE]

Saber Alter; Fate/Stay Night

[gandere]

[ Stepping up to the stage with an enticing painting in hand, she clears her throat. ]

Attention, attention.

I know we've had some pretty good bids tonight, but now it's time for the high rollers. Peasants need not apply for now we're taking bids on Reul's Right Hand herself, Saber. Oh yes, you've probably heard of her and if you haven't yet, what's the matter with you! She's tall...ish and dashingly handsome--and yours for only a couple hours.

After all, it isn't as if she can spend the whole evening wasting away as someone's date. Just dinner will be suitable, yes?

Let's start at three-hundred. Any lower and you just might feel ill for insulting her pride.

[ All this for the "charity" of Rin Tohsaka is a broke ass bitch help. ]

[gordianknots]

[Waver is just going to stare at Rin, questioning why she has done this.]

Also, I'll be taking bets on how quickly this all goes south. Sign up for a time slot in increments of ten minutes.
