masquerade: ooc auction signs up

Hey folks, as per Doom's announcement, there will be a bachelor/ette component at the masquerade, and this here post is for signing up, and for finding potential bidders. This way everyone has the opportunity to make their decisions about who they want to ~win~ their character's auction OOCly, rather than getting into IC bidding wars (unless you want to have IC bidding wars, in which case, be my guest) and worrying about who has the most money.

You can sign up your character along with their highest bidder in the thread here, using the very simple form below, once decisions are made. Until then the rest of this post can be used as a plotting post. Just drop a comment with a little description of your character including if they'd have given a preference for bidders, and interested parties can say hi! If you're super popular and having trouble deciding, feel free to RNG the bidders to make the decision easier.



NOTE: OOCly, everyone needs to agree that their character signed up for the auction, but you're welcome to say they were volunteered by someone else ICly, Doom don't care.

NOTE 2: As a response to some questions we got, I've got a couple clarifying points
1) Is there a limit to how many bids a character can place/win? No, but don't be a dick, let other folks have the opportunity to win auctions and build CR!
2) Can characters bid on behalf of someone else? Yes, but make sure it's OOCly discussed and don't use it as a way to get around preferences
3) What is the IC set up going to be? There will be a stage in the main hall where the bachelor/ettes will go up, with someone (Doom?? Loki?? Who knows) announcing/managing the bids. You can assume characters will have been asked to provide a little spiel about themselves, but you don't have to actually write it if you don't want.

Someone will have to 100% sign her up because she would never do it herself. THAT BEING SAID:

pros:
- beautiful~
- intelligent, badass cop lady who's a total do-gooder
- would be happy to solve that murder for you
- actually a huge adorable dork on the inside
- literal miracle from God

cons:
- is already dating someone and is super faithful so this can't go anywhere romantic unfortunately........
- she wants nothing to do with this and will probably grump her way through
- can be a buzzkill/overly serious

ONE BILLION DOLLARS - which he doesn't have. But he'll watch and see who else bids on her and then try to top it. Because ahem.

Naturally. Chloe, meanwhile, is begging him with her eyes to save her.

I think he'd like the idea of her seeing just how desirable she is to others. He might even push for her to go out for an evening. It's hardly the same as her choosing someone over him, after all.

Yep. Pretty much. Plus charity, Detective. It's an act of service.

If he can chill out naked with Thor in his hot tub, she can find a bestie.

Aw. Literally the only person she wouldn't be all grumpy and scowl-y at, tbh.

tony will make a bid and while he'd be disappointed to hear that she's taken he'd still make it a point to take her out on a nice date

however the flirting is automatic and cannot be turned off

[personal profile] couldkillthedevil 2017-07-20 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, aw. That's cute. Automatic flirting is something she's pretty good at handling, so have at it, Tony. She's a pretty decent banterer herself so maybe they'd even have a good time.

Satan would probably have a good old laugh about it, tbh.

I'd be cool with him winning if you were!
