Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Since I am stupid and brought in two characters to this thread.... I am just going to like stick them both into ONE post. Together. When I post. To keep my sanity. They will just be separated by dashed lines 8| BEAR WITH ME PLZ.))

This was clearly not Sin's day. Granted, the Gargoyle's eyes rose up to meet the succubus' but his ears fell a tiny little bit as he eyed his Sex-ed partner. His gaze went from his newly earned seeds, to the succubus and then back again several times before he offered the demoness a poor, pathetic little whimpers, "I'm sorry, Sin! I... I'll..." another small whimper escaped him, "I'll make it up to you! I promise! I'm sorry!" he simply could not bear the idea of parting with the seeds he felt were pretty much a present from the pumpkin king himself. He had to reserved them for the his real objective.

Had Sin been auctioned off after Coralie, he would have doubtlessly gone to the 'rescue', but as it was, despite feeling utterly torn, he was pulled more towards the reaper's general direction. With that in mind, he made a bee-line out of Sin's general gaze (or he er... at least tried to position himself somewhere where the succubus wouldn't be able to glare at him).

Ren's voice was a welcome distraction and the gargoyle moved to join the gryphon, "Heeeey~~!" his voice had taken on that sing song quality it usually had, his hands protecting his newly incremented bag of seeds, "Did I miss any auctions? Are these the first?" He eyed Riley and LW, not to mention Natalia before his gaze returned to the stage.

Gabrian was not having a good day. He was slightly grumpy, and feeling like wanted to give the tables the other contestants were parading up and down a good kick.

Also, these clothes they were making him wear were ridiculous.

Though the demon had to admit he was growing increasingly fond of the long sleeves. They were making it so he could hide his hands within the fabric, keeping his tense, flexed claws out of sight. As such, the only tell-tale sign of his mild irritation was the irritated swish of his tail as he made his way through the crowd. In all honesty, he'd considered not showing up. He's also considered being a general jerk to whomever won him until he'd come to the realization that simply wasn't fair. Those bidding were not to blame for this whole fiasco, and as such, he had no right to be mean to them. In fact, these peeps were probably lonely. It was that notion which had allowed him to show up. Even if he was still grumpy... he could hide it. Mostly.

His gaze landed on Ren a small way away and he narrowed his eyes, planning on storming over, grabbing the other boil and shaking him a few times for good measure. Something stopped him mid stomp though; it was the tension that practically crackled around his friend and Riley, whom appeared to be sitting with his ghoulfriend, LW. Swiftly deciding to postpone the stomping and shaking, the nix made his way to the group, hands still hidden inside his sleeves. He needn't do any difusing though, seeing as how Ren began to walk away from the ghouls. When the gryphon reached his side, Gabrian reached up and uncurled a hand from within his sleeves, grabbing onto the other boil's arm, as if to silently ask what was going on, not to mention stop him from leaving.

His head turned to LW, "I was pretty certain you wouldn't show up, my dear... whatever changed your mind? Not afraid I might decide to eat you for this? After all," the demon let go of Ren so he could lean forward, his eyes hooded; they were so close their noses almost touched, "Last I checked I'm much bigger than you. In both forms. And I just so happen to know where you sleep," after a small beat, he leaned in further until his mouth was by her ear, "Not to mention where you bathe," that said, he pulled away and offered Riley a nod, "Sorry to interrupt," and then he paused, looking around before his gaze returned to the demoness, "Is there someone you're particularly interested in? I thought..." he closed his mouth instead of continuing, arching a brow for effect.

Colette joined the room of students nervously, carrying a somewhat heavy sack of pumpkin seeds in her hands. The nervousness was due partly to not really wanting to be seen at a student auction, but the real problem was the sack of seeds. She had found them outside, completely unoccupied, and took them. Well, unoccupied beside a bunch of tiny gnome clothes - maybe a streaking gnome misplaced them? Her plan was to return them to their owner, really, but she later realized she actually hadn't a clue who it belonged to! There were so many gnomes around campus. The news of a charity event had been a relief though, Colette knew she could at least put them to good use. She just hoped the owner wasn't here. That would put a damper on things.

Scanning the room, she fidgeted nervously at a lot of unfamiliar faces. However, Alwine up for auction made her do a double take. That was one ghoul she didn't really expect to be up there. Or, maybe it made sense.. Colette realized she didn't know too much about her, actually. Not taking a particular interest in bidding, she continued to scan the crowd and stopped when she saw familiar red hair. Oh, it was Belladonna! Someone for her to cling to during this awkward event.

She made her way towards Belladonna, careful to squeeze her way through and around a number of other students to avoid disrupting their conversations. When she was close enough, Colette tried to greet her, but a very displeasing sight stopped her halfway through the hello. Augh. Christof. The Reaper's lips tightened into a frown as she looked at the patchwork. What was he doing? Harassing all these ghouls, no doubt. And what was with the make-shift rabbit ears? Pffft. Colette wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to tell everyone that he lovingly strokes and sleeps with Usagis after brutally strangling them and snapping their necks.

"Everything alright here?" Colette asked Belladonna, not taking her eyes off Christof. She was pretty sure she had warned her about him, but perhaps she couldn't keep him away and he started bothering her now. One thing was for sure, she would not let Christof try to do to Belladonna what he had attempted to do to her.

"Oh thank Hecate!" The witch sighed heavily, her hands reaching out to grab one of Colette's. "I was just about to text you!" When Lizzy turned around to face her it only took a moment for her to realize something was wrong and Belladonna silently thanked the queen of witches that Lizzy was a very smart girl. "Lepus? I have no clue what you're trying to tell us Mr. Igor, but please! Do excuse us for just one, teeny-tiny moment!" Belladonna said in her sweetest voice before grabbing Lizzy's hand with her free hand and dragging the two girls enough steps away that they would be overheard. And if so, Belladonna could just give that Mr. Igor a Very Stern Look. She had been practicing those recently!

"OK. So, I don't know if I should be interrupting anything or not, but Sin looks really distressed up there! Mr. Igor has put a HUGE bid on her and he already has a date! That other succubus girl with the pink hair and the box? Yeah! So I don't know why he's bidding so high on Sin and she doesn't look really enthused about it either..." The only way to save her was to outbid Mr. Igor and the witch couldn't do it alone. "Plus I know Colette has some weird past with him, like he's really creepy or something? I'm not sure of everything... But do we, yanno, save her?" This was the strangest pickle Belladonna had ever been in and she felt like she was stepping on ten different people's toes, but saving meant saving, right?! RIGHT?!

It was already getting too late for people to change their votes as MC GNOMEO took to the mike again and waved his hand down at the groups. He motioned for several people to go to the back and get off the stage, the sets already shuffling. The MC looked a little annoyed, he'd kinda hoped for a battle full of blood, gore, and many other things that involved blood and gore in combination. Oh well.

"HEY YOU GUYS, I'M CLOSIN' THIS SECTION OF THE AUCTIONS. ALL YOU PLAYAS GOTTA KNOW, THAT THE DOUGH COMES OUT AND YOUR PEEPS COME DOWN. 'Cept da water chick, cause she's up here to keep me company."

Translated into a language that everyone else could understand it meant that the first group of four students were now off the auction block, all except for Alycone, who the gnome had a firm grip on. Hopefully someone would bid and save her, but for now. . . .

ROUND ONE OF THE AUCTION IS OVER.

Tybalt has been won by Chuppi!
Alwine has been won by Jack!
Sin has been won by Christof!

ROUND TWO SHALL BE UP SHORTLY!

UGH! That dumb gnome! Didn't he know she needed more time for someone to save her?! Instead he had just announced that Christof was the winner, Christof who had a date, a date who was her friend! She glared down at the igor and then as the new auction students names were called she leaped off the stage and headed right for Christof.

"What are you thinking Christof? Morrigan is your date to the Scarentines dance! This auction is for the date-less, those without a date!" She felt like slapping him, but really how could she blame him for wanting her, she was pretty gorgeous...oh yes back on track. She had to pull herself out of a moment of vanity and back into her anger mode.

. . . Que?

Chuppi was a little more than dumbstruck that she'd actually managed to win someone in the auction - and not just someone, Tybalt. Her Vice-Captain of the Track Team and one of her very first friends at Amityville. Part of her stomach fluttered with nerves of excitement at having one and knowing that maybe Tybalt would want to take her to the dance. The other part of her stomach was sinking like a rock knowing that Tybalt probably didn't want to take her to the dance.

She was going to go over and apologize to him for all that had happened, not to mention let him off the hook. Of course there was attraction in their relationship - but it was one-sided. Her side, of course. In Chuppi's case it was probably puppy love (without any intentions of it being a pun) but Tybalt didn't seem interested in anyone or anything. This wouldn't bode well for her and the happiness that Chuppi had felt at winning quickly faded away.

She made her way over to where Belladona and Tess where, her small arms quickly latching themselves around Belladona's legs. She buried her face against the taller student, her stomach rumbling with unhappiness.

Aksaja had been fairly quiet up until this point, just watching. Now, though . . . as Jericho was prodded onto the stage, he smirked. "I'll start this off . . ."

I'm raising my hands in the air! All the players know that I'm layin' down [ 100 ] on this [ hottie + JERICHO ]
