The two Conquest siblings had Junko's undivided attention for the duration of their squabble. Their..one-sided squabble. The tiny one wasn't happy. Oh dear. Should she step in and stop them? She didn't want to make them leave... Junko felt Eris' eyes on her and her entire face seemed to flush hot pink, her hair curling up on itself around her as she cleared her throat. She..she needed to get back on stage, to be able to hear all the bids. Quietly excusing herself from the floor she quickly and nervously made her way back onto the stage to stand near the microphone, giving Eris a wide berth. The ghoul fidgeted nervously with her outfit, brushing her fingers against the feathers on her shoulders. Eris sure was going for quite a bit of seeds! She actually had a feeling something like this would happen when she saw the heir's name on the signup list. She was a horseman of war...a bidding war must have still have counted as a war even if it didn't involve an actual battle. Junko would just..distract herself with taking notes of all the bids. Yes. That would do. Jack was she ever relieved that she had been outbid. She had had no idea Riley only had a hundred seeds. That had been so embarrassing. She looked up from her cards when Eris called out Invictus' name, watching the Conquest horseman, the only one she trusted, approach the stage and join her. ...Oh dear. He didn't like this from the looks of it. "Hello, Invi!" Junko greeted him cheerfully, turning to the horseman and giving him a bow in greeting. She fixed her crown when she stood up straight again, looking somewhat wary. "Is everything alright? I hope you're not upset, it's all just for fun!"

As Enzo slunk off the stage grumbling, glancing around for any sign of his "winner", Christof had ghosted into the room behind Riley with an anxious expression as he looked up on the stage. It was... a little close to home. Would people bid so enthusiastically for him, once graduation passed and- no. Now was not the time for thoughts like that. Live in the moment. And in that moment, a magnificent female specimen sashayed her way to center stage, her many wings fluttering elegantly behind her... Such proportions... such symmetry... such grace... such... such parts... Oh, to have the horsewoman as his own for a day, to get her into his chair, under his saw... Before he knew what he was doing, he gave a sudden grunt from behind Riley and Junko, raising his hand frantically with number amounts and a jingling bag of seeds he had procured from who knew where. CHRISTOF IS BIDDING 120 SEEDS ON ERIS!

Annnnd there went another bid for Eris. Junko blinked, taking the bag to give the seeds a quick count. "A hundred and twenty? Are you sure?" Why was she questioning this? Seriously. "Of course, Christof~." She really shouldn't be surprised by this, and yet somehow she still was.

False had only so much, he had held it for one reason. He could have bought Half Moon grass, Full Moon even with these seeds, enough Spice to fuel him for weeks of little sleep and wild ideas.
He held it for one thing.
For a chance to catch the flaming beauty alone. Not a slave, he had far more respect for someone as powerful as that, he had only one simple request and damn the results. Horsemen? Who where they but Halloween refined? And what was she but fire wild and furious in all it's glory.
"I'll bid... a hundred and twenty... two... seeds..." He looked in the bag again, and at Sharpie who was oddly wearing a rather adorable little bow tie and top hat.
"You spent some of ours seeds didn't you."
"I did."
"I will kill you for this cat."
"As you usually attempt in days ending in Y when I upset you. But I will look dapper as I explode." Said the ink dripping feline as he sat up a bit taller. False meanwhile looked at Invictus and just sort of shrugged helplessly.FALSE IS BIDDING 122 SEEDS ON ERIS!

Christof gave Junko the wobbliest of eyes, brows creased in as pathetic and pleading an expression as an Igor was capable of. At the sudden additional voice, his brows narrowed, and he quickly dumped another few seeds into the pile with a muffled snarl. She would be HIS. CHRISTOF IS BIDDING 125 SEEDS ON ERIS!

Calder was still waiting around for his own prize when he saw Christof throw a great deal of seeds at a rather curvy lady. While Calder had his own reasons to bid on Billy, he whipped his head about to look over to his friend. "Christof?" He moved over towards the stage and leaned in to try and get his friend's attention. "PSST! Hey! What are you even doing? You have a ghoulfriend." Ignore the fact Calder was still looking around for his horned beauty.

"Benefits-school. Eager-to-help." He signed, although his eyes were locked on the lady on stage except to dart with a glower over to False as though daring him to counterbid.

False looked at Christof for a long time green eyes narrowed behind thing black glasses.
He then promptly kicked his cat across the auction floor cursing in something that sounded like a cross between Latin and German. To those who understood it sounded mostly like insults towards a stupid cat.

"Well....be a gentleboil." He told the Igor, hoping nothing bad would happen. "And maybe watch out for Amrita. Just a FYI." He had to protect his bro from misunderstandings.
As for Calder, he hoped Barth showed up. He let out a little whinny of a snicker.

Oh, someone was talking to him! Thackery's ears twitched in her direction, and he offered a smile and wave in greeting. Competition or not, he was friendly to everyone. Except gorgons, but she didn't have any snakey parts. "Hi, Heidla! I'm Thackery, one of the Cerberus triplets. It's nice to meet you!" His attention strayed back towards the students for auction. "Isn't Remi just the best?" He sighed happily and looked an awful lot like a fan speaking of a celebrity.

Now Lan was a sensible, reasonable horsewoman of conquest. She liked to do right by her family and her clan. But she was also a very traditional noble in how she behaved. If the chance rose to take control? It was a bit hard to resist. Harder still when it was family. And granted she tried very hard to not ever get on her cousin's bad side or earn his ire...
It was too sweet a fruit to pass up. "As I understand it..." She smiled sweetly, looking at the students in charge. "If they are on stage they are open for bids." Her smile went to Invictus. She felt a bit childish, and a bit foolish but there you had it.
"Fifty seeds on his majesty, protector of conquest, Invictus."
Just fifty. She wasn't out to break the bank after all.
Lan IS BIDDING 50 SEEDS ON Invictus???

Enzo hovered, avoiding Bea thus far in the crowd, although who knew how long that would last.
One seed. One. Lousy. Seed. To a doll he'd been toying with for ages. Well. It would be fun, at least, and he tried to imagine what sort of things she'd possible set him to as a 'slave for a day'. He crossed his arms, still moarning the loss of his coat when one of the quieter figures on the stage caught his attention.
Now, if he was to bid, he figured he would have aimed for some hotty, but even with the addition of the... *special* seeds he had supplimented his scratch with, the best of the pick was being slobbered over way out of his price range already.
That Lou fellow, though, he looked like a copacetic sort of boil. Snappy dresser. Definitely would have fit in back in the Reaper's home town, and yet no one had bid yet.
Well, if he wasn't going to buy himself a new squeeze to enrage the watery-ghoul, he could at least bid on a new lacky. Maybe the guy would be interested in more than just Radio Club.
And maybe Enzo wouldn't be the only one with one seed as his worth.
"ONE ON THE CAT IN THE CORNER!"
ENZO IS BIDDING 1 SEED ON LOU!

Invictus actually didn't SHAAMMMEEE Lan. However, Invictus was probably not the one Lan should have been worrying about...
He did, however, send a rather calm look Junko's way. "What is there to be upset about?" he inquired, almost pleased with himself.

Ying looked away for a single moment and the auction was over and done with. The poor little Conquestian just sort of squeaked with disappointment and gathered up her seeds in a sad little pile.
Q____________________________________Q
"Lannnnnn," Ying whined. "Just take my seeds. I'm done." She was so done. 5000% done.

Lan looked to Ying, then to the seeds being offered. Yes, these would do nicely. And- "It is alright dear Ying, if all goes well, I might be able to assist you with whatever it was you needed Salbei for. But really he is of the amicable sort. I am sure if you ask him at a later date he would help you with what you needed."
Looking back to the stage she gave the pair of heirs a skeptical look. Perhaps she could win both and just give them to each other. Maybe they would like it. The key would be how to have her little moment and not be killed for it.
