Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ren gladly accepted the kiss that Natalia pressed to his cheek, slinging a friendly arm around her shoulders. "Yes," he said, the grin coming out fully now as he took in the full ensemble. "It's...well, it makes quite a statement now, doesn't it? Not that anyone here is objected to your statements; in fact, I'm pretty sure no one could pull off that outfit quite like you, dear lemur."

Glancing around at the small crowd, Ren's eyes searched the students for a particular person; namely one emerald haired nix whom he had signed up for the auction in the first place. It seemed as if Gabrian had not yet arrived, but when he did, Ren was more than a little prepared. He had told Alessa and LW where to find him, and had invited them both to come - Alessa because she was his ghoulfriend and he wanted her there, but also because she was friends with Gabrian - and LW because, well, she was Gabrian's ghoulfriend and because she had been just as amused at Ren signing him up as he had. Of course, they had spent a few days hiding away from the severely irritated nix, but now it was just entertaining.

"So," he said to Natalia, dropping his voice down an octave so that only she could hear him. "Got anyone yer hopin' to bid on? I hear there's a pretty little hellhound up for grabs..."

Arachne had drifted in late, but seeing how many were already here she slipped in fairly unnoticed. She looked at who was up for auction currently, noting that there was only one boil, and not one she really had met, so didn't even bother getting out the seeds she had for this.

She did however see that Sin was up on the block, so to speak, and had already garnered a couple of bids, one even from..Rosciel. Her mouth did the letterbox look again, a thin line, and she looked up at the demon ghoul to see if she could catch her eye.

She looked away again, a thought, a plan hatching in her mind. She didn't have very many seeds, but maybe with someone else's...she looked around and spotted the boil who must have bid, he was transfixed on Sin and she edged through the others, tapping him on one shoulder.

'Excuse me?'

She only hoped Sin would forgive her!

'You may need these.' Arachne murmured close to his ear, handing over a small red bag filled with all 449 of her seeds.

'We don't want you losing now do we? That should help see off all bidders..just keep hold of them tightly.' she glanced back over at Sin, hoping she would understand. She just couldn't let her first crush bid on her friend.

Daisuke made his way towards the 'charity' auction of sorts, he wasn't sure who he would bid on or what reason there was to bid on his fellow students. After all, he already had a date but it was for good causes. Which is what everyone kept telling themselves plus, it was for his little scareon Airi too, a park to walk her around in would make her delighted.

Gaze searching the room, there were some familiar and more recognizable faces. Junko and the mistress, Belladonna, Arachne, Jack... Jack! He hadn't had chance to talk with him or Lucien since BotB. Maybe he should go say hi? Pondering, his eyes studied who was actually being bid on. There was a new face from class, Alwine. Sin and Tybalt were also up there, Sin advertising herself in her stretches. Which he tore his eyes from immediately, her garments were rather revealing to say the least!

Almost everyone seemed to be turning up out of nowhere. He decided to move over towards the crowd where everyone was forming. lifting his hand to wave over towards the more familiar faces with a gentle "Hey!" Wondering if they had heard him under all the chatting.

Christof stared at the offered bag, looking unsure at first.....

at least until that voice bubbled up again from Rosc. Eyes narrowed, he snatched the little red bag from the spider demoness, waving his hand and said bag frantically.

I'm raising my hands in the air! All the players know that I'm layin' down [ 1000] on this [ hottie Sin ]

That time he caught it.
If Rosc's eyes could narrow back at the patchwork, they would have. And he didn't miss Christof taking the bag from Arachne, either. Just what sort of game was she playing at? It couldn't just be a coincidence, now could it? Or did she just have a soft-spot for the hunchback? She didn't know. The other student felt... wrong to Rosc. He could taste the desires of others and while he couldn't pinpoint what anyone's were without extended interaction, he could get an idea of what were good and interesting and strong and what were just... off. And let's just say the incubus wasn't going to be feeding from the patchwork anytime soon.

Was she getting back at him for... well, for being himself? He hadn't really been nice to her, but she had seemed to take it in stride. Hell, she hadn't really been nice to him, either.

His almost-good mood gone straight out the window, the demon openly frowned before raising his hand to bid again, gaze now focused on Christof, rather than Sin or the rest of the students.

I'm raising my hands in the air! All the players know that I'm layin' down 1,100 on this hottie Sin

Rosc bared his teeth at the boil. Well, teeth wasn't really an accurate term, though one could suppose that they were calcified and white, they didn't much look like the kind of teeth one would expect. He had four molars in the back of his mouth, but every other tooth was pointed and sharp-looking (Not as thin as they are in his true form, but that's another story).
Fangs was probably the more appropriate a term.

A thought in the back of his mind told him to walk over to Christof and threaten him. Bodily harm, tearing out stitching, burying various pieces all over campus, that sort of thing. But he had doubts on his ability to accomplish that. Well... he could probably pull it off at some expense to his own safety, but then he'd probably get kicked out of school. And Nic would probably kick him out. Which would put him living alone with his inheritance... But then he wouldn't be educated enough to make it last.

So he simply turned and left the auction area, shoving the bag with his collective seeds into the hands of the first classmate he passed (A very lucky Morton! Morton gains 1,131 Seeds!).

The look Jericho gave Riley said that he wasn't quite buying her reasoning here.

"I don't know if you've really noticed but I'm not exactly the charitable type," he said as he'd rather keep his seeds and treasures to himself if possible, and he didn't really want Riley to be spending her seeds on him for this sort of thing, "Besides what sort of charity is it?"

Looking back to West, he simply smirked and gave a nod, "Gotcha. Who's your little friend by the way?"

He glanced to Holly with that question. She pretty much sat on the other end of the table from him in class so he's really only seen her. Before he could get an answer, he glanced back to the stage to see what appeared to be a bid war going on over the succubus. Well there was no surprise there, however what did get him was the fact that... Christof was bidding?
