Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chuppi's stomach felt rather funny as she stood up on the stage and she suddenly felt bad for all those that had been up there before her. Hearing people getting bid on all around, but never your own name, it was a bit. . .nerve-wrecking? At the very least Chuppi knew she had a date already and this was all for the greater good, but what would it to do her self-esteem not to be bid upon? She wasn't as strong willed or as attractive as the demons who had come up before, not to mention did she have a very clear romantic partner as a fall back. She was trapped in her thoughts and would have stayed in them if it wasn't for the sound of someone unhappily making sounds next to her,

Chuppi looked over just in time to see Tset's skirt go through it's wonderful transformation of getting shorter and the chupacabra quickly moved in front of the demon, her height just enough to block the lower half of Tsetsiliya's skirt and legs. She turned a bit and held onto the other girl, her back now to the audience, but she was doing whatever she could to try and help.

"Estas bien? Calm down, por favor."

Oh Jack! She was not cut out for this at ALL! If the doll had the ability to blush right now, her face would be bright red with embarrassment! She.could.not.pose.sexy! Definitely not! Nope! Wriggling free of Natalia's hold, she ran her hand through her purple hair nervously. "N-nahh. I'm no good at this stuff." As much as she would like to be more outgoing, like the were-lemur, she just didn't seem to fit the roll at the moment. Though, if she had to admit it, she was a little envious of her right now.

Catching sight of a hellhound appear, she offered a smile when catching the two knew each other. Ahh, she had such a lovely tail as well! "A friend?" Mei asked Natalia, eyes still set on Whisper. However, between the two, she sensed something more than friendship. Love perhaps? Well, whatever it was, they definitely had chemistry!

Spinning around on her heel, she glanced down at the small gnome as he announced the end of the auction round. Were they stuck here with him? She hoped not, he was kind of.. Creepy! It also came to question, if she would offend him if she mentioned she had minipets taller than he was..

Ren was sulking, for the most part. He had come to the auction to have a good time, to play a little joke on Gabrian, and to simply laugh and have fun with the situation. Except, having been treated as an imbecile, as well as an unwelcome guest, it was making him be a little pissy, though he was attempting to hide this fact. Most unfortunately he could hide little to nothing from Gabrian; the nix could read his expressions without batting an eye, and he felt a hint of red touch his cheeks at the relax his friend mouthed to him.

Relax. Take it easy. It's only a game.

"Later," Ren murmured, feeling vaguely embarrassed that he had somehow managed to cause such tension between everyone. He shrugged off the concern LW and Gabe were showing, trying to play it off that he wasn't bothered by the situation in the slightest.

"Hey, now, it's only an auction," he drawled lightly, reaching up to run a hand through his hair and casting a grin towards the other two. "Gotta have a good time now."

His eyes slid to the side, momentarily distracted by the auction ghouls and boils shuffling on stage. He caught Natalia's face, saw the sudden flustering, the pale pink that tinged her cheeks and a small smile touched his own face as he turned back to his friends. He would be having a talk with the werelemur later, that was for sure.

Someone stepped towards him, and Ren felt a gentle hand press something into his own. Glancing down he found himself holding a small bag of pumpkin seeds, Alcyone smiling at him.

"Here you go. Good luck with the auction," she told him, and Ren felt his smile widen.

"Thank you," he said cheerfully, giving her a friendly wave. "Have fun with your date~!"

Well, this certainly was better. Instead of the four hundred and something seeds he had had previously, he now had nine hundred and something. It was unexpected, but Ren slipped his gaze towards Gabrian, raising an eyebrow in amusement before he heard yet another familiar voice. Tsetsiliya was on stage now, looking rather panicked, and Ren gave a reassuring smile, waving to the ghoul.

The doll's reluctance had pulled laughter from Natalia's stomach, the kind that was not meant to mock...

But she had moved on at this point, somewhat reluctant herself to let Mei go without trying to force a few more poses out of her...But Whisper had arrived, and the monsters attention was set on the ghoul before her for the time being.

Only when she heard words, but did not see Wisp's lips move, did Natalia shake the drone look she had acquired. Tilting her head to the side, which gave the ghoul a much better vantage point of Mei's face, Natalia nodded her head before taking Whisper into her arms and pulling her close. This gesture, despite the fact that it appeared to be a hug of sorts, was quickly turned into an act of manipulation as the lemurs arms attempted to spin their hellhound captive around. "This is Whisper!" Her announcement was shrill and excitable, Natalia's cheek instantly against Wisp's once she had finished speaking. "Whisper, this is Mei. She has a much longer name than that but I'm not entirely sure how to say it. Sooo--if you want to call her the other one, I'm sure Mei wouldn't mind telling you what it is?"

Orange eyes flicked from where they had been, which was sort of locked on Whisper's lips/chin area, to the doll student's and stayed there, hinting that the ghoul should introduce herself properly, if she chose to!

When the gnome made his announcement, Natalia turned in about the same manner as Mei had and pouted. Wait! Two boils had just been put up for auction and they already had bids, but SHE couldn't even get one?! And the new girl was even sought after before the werelemur--THE WERELEMUR. The boobalicious were. The ghoul with an a**. :I

She also saw Renaissance over there smiling like a fool, which made her a bit uncomfortable seeing as they both knew what it was he saw.

Sheesh...And to top it all off MEI hadn't even gotten a bid either, and she was also very hot. Twisting around, Natalia pursed her lips and then sighed. "I can't believe not even one person...this is stupid."

There was only time for a very short and strained "EEK" as the chupacabra clamped the witch's legs before she let go and Belladonna toppled to the floor. Anyone with quick enough eyes (Or at least anyone paying attention) might have caught a flash of shiny-gold from under the trench coat, but even though the girl was sprawled helplessly on the floor, she quickly spread the coat back around her.
"Don't mind, really!" Belladonna whimpered from her position, "I... This floor is so comfy, and my legs hurt... Really bad... Chuppi, why you so strong?" Now she was just mumbling to herself, staring at the space above her and listening to the things going on. Before the night was over she'd probably have unsightly bruises and, oh jacking hell, was she bleeding? Probably. Ah well, her legs could be broken instead of slightly maimed. As much as she loved Chuppi, Belladonna often forgot how very destructive the small ghoul could be. When directed at others it was a wonderful trait, really!

When the next round was announced Belladonna somehow found the strength to sit up, though she remained below everyone else's level. It was actually kind of fun to view everyone's foot wear and have an exaggerated view of the chupacbra's life. "GO CHUPPI!!" The witch shouted, waving her hands frantically before spotting Jackb and Daisuke.
"Jaaackb~ Daaiiii~ Come over here and help me up please?" The witch asked, giving them both her best "I'm so helpless" eyes. And then West was bidding on Siliya and the witch shifted her attention. Westy was a general nice person and she had fought with him in The Raid, so he could be trusted with the small girl. So long as he did protect her and didn't take advantage... Hopefully if she needed it, Siliya would give her a look...

Noting the concern on Yaya's face, Sharra quickly raised a hand, a bit of a lopsided grin appearing on the boil's handsome features as he gestured rather vigorously to the contrary. "No, no...s'fine, baby..." He murred rather affectionately, "Don't you dare be sorry...I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat..." Tugging at his shirt a bit to straighten the fabric, he then winked at the djinn, trying to clear his head a touch, now that he was in the midst of a throng of people.

As a matter of fact, no sooner had he managed the words, than Aksaja came sauntering up, and in his current state, the nergal could hardly help himself a bit of a look up and down. Did the dragon always dress like that? Ah well, nonetheless, he made it quite crystal-clear that he wouldn't have a problem with either of the twosome (or possibly both), winning his auction...in fact, it seemed to be inferred that that would be preferable to some of the other bidders. Hmm...well...the handsome electric boil was on their bit of a list. So turning, Sharra gave his marid lass a meaningful look, and then proffered forth his 334 seeds to Hadiyya. "I think I'm a touch off-kilter, my lovely...care to make a purchase for us?" And his gaze flicked back to Aksaja at that.

And ah grand, West was bitching about something or another again. Naturally the wrath-demon would be the first one to verbally point out the nergal's bedraggled state. "How kind of you to notice, West..." He remarked dryly as the other sauntered off to make his own bid in the auction. Oh really now? He hadn't thought West the bidding type, unless he had someone he planned to make miserable.

Tybalt blinked when Chuppi handed him her seeds. What was he supposed to do with them. Was he supposed to just hold on to them? Or was he---oh! Did she want him to bid on her? That's gotta' be the reason!

"Alright! I got your back, Chuppi!"

"I'm raising my hands in the air! All the players know that I'm layin' down 500 seeds on this hottie Chuppi!"

It was probably bad idea using all of her seeds, she might have been saving them for something. But of course, he never thought about those sort of things. Besides! If she really needed them, he could pay her back! Err... Eventually... Come to think of it, he was broke... Ah sludgesticks!
