The Labor Auction: Now Selling K! (Very Special)

[Windyuki]

*A large banner hangs suspended from two streetlights in Muffinville. It reads "Workers for sale! The highest offered payment wins!" Behind it, Windy can be seen standing with some kind of acrobat or another on an elevated wooden stage.*

And, first to the auctions today, we have one circus performer! Quite flexible and likes showing off in public. Do we have any offers?

[Feng]

Lord Bones watches from the audience of NPC auctioneers (At least until some more real people show up, in which case he'll blend in with them) watching with the auction with mixed interest. The criminal mastermind is in the market for new minions, especially for his new plans for mischief, although he doubts they have much use for a circus performer...

"I bid 1 Hl!" shouts Bones.

[Raleigh]

*Litany starts to do some cartwheels and spins to show off her talents.* Litany: Should I take out the grappling hook to demonstrate some rope work?

Going once. Is anyone going to top 1 HL. For the low, low price of 2 HL you could be taking home this wonderfully seductive performer!

[Raleigh]

I bid 7 hl. *Raleigh waves her little hand in the air hoping to be noticed amongst the crowd.*

No bidding on yourself!

1 HL, going twice!

[Raleigh]

But I'm not. I'm bidding on my daughter not myself.

[Windyuki]

But I'm not. I'm bidding on my daughter not myself.

That's like 50% the same genetically speaking.

[Raleigh]

Raleigh: Litany, show them the true talents of an acrobat.

Litany: Righto. *She slips out a kind of grappling hook and tosses it up into the supports of the room and quickly climbs up it. She then swings about over the crowd moving down the rope a few times just as she passes over some of the people at the auction before dropping from the rope back onto the platform. In her hands are several wallets and purses.* Tada.

Raleigh: If you won't let me bid on her at least bill the possible talents of an acrobat right.

Yes! The current bid is "The combined pocket money of those present"

Going once.

[Feng]

"I'll bid the contents of the audience's wallets plus the one 1 HL" says Bones dumping a sack full of bills, coins, photographs, credit cards and a half chewed rabbit's foot on the floor.

"I took the liberty of pickpocketing the majority of the audience prior to the starting bid," says Bones taking a bow. "One, to sabotage the competition, two to boost my pocket change for the auction, and three because old habits are as forgettable as pocky addiction..."

"Oh," he adds, tossing Windyuki a pair of keys. "You might want these back."

[Raleigh]

Crap. *Turns around and leaves because she was reminded of pocky. Its really inconvenient when someone mentions one of her favorite foods as it makes her have to have some.*

What he said, going once, and twice to speed this up!

Anyone else entering the field?

*Examines the keys*

And these are?

[Feng]

"A-aren't they your keys to something or other?"

"Oi! Who took my keys to my Hummer?" pipes up an elderly woman from the audience.

".... .... Well better keep them anyways. Merry Christmas!" ^_^
