The Celestian Lotto booth and auction house.
Rays of golden light sweep through the area with watchful purpose, signifying a shield shrine of
Valtreth nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A small, pleasant booth
sits off of the first floor landing, a dark, sturdy hardwood underfoot providing flooring with
little need for maintenance. Golden sandstone walls form the boundaries of this simple chamber, each
with a single, large aperture that allows light to flow in, alongside a healthy breeze carrying the
spray of the Inner Sea. A solid counter sits to the north of the room, behind which stands a
pleasant man, carefully sorting through stray tickets and humming a tune to himself. A spirited
pegasus with leathery bat wings is here, a gentle air hanging about her. Floating a few feet above
the ground, a small, delicate glass angel spins languidly around in graceful circles. Her coiled
tail curling between four fearsome legs, a light grey chimaera with a smooth, feathery pelt crouches
quietly within her surroundings. With periwinkle blue eyes, a large wyvern with leather wings prowls
around here. There are 2 pudgy, stuffed pandas bear here. Resplendent in cerulean and angel blue
plumage, an aquatic Angel of Hallowed Waters drifts here amidst an aura of amber-tinged, azure light.
 Postulant Acrune McCloud is here. He wields a harmonious flame-red mandolin in his left hand.
Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus is here, shrouded. She wields a frosted weather balloon in her left hand.
Sir Savea McCloud towers here. Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea is here. She wields an elegant tahto
of clear diamond and spiralling green sea glass with both hands. Queen Kelly McCloud is here,
shrouded. She wields a black, lightning-blade katana with both hands. Armed and armoured in the
lambent Glory of the Exalted, a proud Imperial Merian Premier stands here at the ready. Rayen
McCloud is here. She wields an ethereal tahto of light and shadow with both hands. Ulkira Silvermoon,
 Adherent of the Crone is here. She wields a radiant symbol of love in her left hand and an athame
dagger in her right. Primus Vivet Pavok is here. She wields an onyx void blaster in her left hand
and a golden whip of the pious in her right. Orbiting around her head are several spinning crystals.
Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light towers here. Trueflight Iytha is here. She wields a crwth-
style bowed lyre in her left hand. Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide is here, shrouded.
 She wields a radiant symbol of love in her left hand and a glowing powerstone in her right.
Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud towers nearby, her form radiating heatless waves of
celestial fire. She wields a radiant symbol of love in her right hand. A solstice dragon lies coiled
here, blowing puffs of red and green smoke.
You see a single exit leading northwest.

Saoirse drops 50 platters of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Saoirse drops 8 platters of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

A hairy black spider with bat wings scuttles in sideways from the northwest.

"Oooooooooh!" Ulkira says, eyes wide with wonder.

Ulkira picks up a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Ulkira eats a hearty platter of cakes with dancing bears with obvious gusto.

Kagato sniffs a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns, trying to decipher just what that
smell emanating from it is.

Taking a deep breath, her voice carrying throughout the auction house, Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn
Sea says, "Welcome, citizens and allies, to the citizen auction of the Festival of Light!"

Aeral enters from the northwest, emanating an aura of immense power.

Aeral inclines her head politely to those around her.

Romaan tilts his head and listens intently to Chakraja.

You see the following people here:
Acrune, Kialkarkea, Savea, Kelly, Neos, Ulkira, Iytha, Chakraja, Romaan, Rayen, Vivet, Saoirse,
Kagato, Meliana, Daunte, Aeral, Telperion, Andala.

Iytha mutters and traces the glowing symbol of a rose before her. She smiles as the rose floats
towards her and enters her chest, making her somehow look much more attractive.

With a charming flourish, Iytha bows down deeply. As she rises up slowly, you are stunned by how
much more captivating she has become.

Iytha nods her head sagely.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "We have a total of eleven auction items, citizens of
fair-to-excellent standing in New Celest."

"Heh heh heh" Daunte chuckles.

Romaan hides a grin behind his hand.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "I will begin by announcing auction item one by name,
and proceed sequentially from there."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Once the auction item's title and starting bid is given,
 bidding will be open!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Please bid in increments of 1,000 gold!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "All bids must be perfectly serious or we will drown you
in the harbour!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "If you are merian, we will still drown you, it will
just take longer!"

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "That or we can feed you to my dear Emeraude
here... She is rather peckish."

Keeper of the Word, Neos Eli'Silar, Aquamantic Egomaniac says, "I can't drown. I win."

Kagato pets Emeraude, the Mizuchi ingratiatingly.

Neos flashes the victory sign.

You say to Neos, "We can still try."

You beam broadly.

Pondering thoughtfully, Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "A basin of mercury could be used instead?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Please state your bids aloud! Yes, competition is
encouraged!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "That citizen you have your eye on? They might not be
around or too old to provide services in a few years! Don't let yourself miss this potentially once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Meliana's eyes sparkle with amusement at Chakraja.

You hide a grin behind your hand.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Once an auction item is closed for bidding, no further
bidding is allowed!"

Kelly narrows her eyes at Chakraja in an unnerving manner.

You say to Kelly, "Too old."

You say to Kelly, "That was for you."

Kelly bops you on the head.

"Heh heh heh" Neos chuckles.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "We will drown late bidders too!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says to you, "No one asked you."

You look at Kelly with a raised eyebrow and say, "Pssshhhh..."

Trueflight Iytha says, "She's only thirty, though!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Better late than never is an idiom that does not apply
in this situation!"

Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light says to Iytha, "Did you drop a 'zero'?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Are there any questions, blatant safety issues, or
concerns?"

Trueflight Iytha says, "Once you're older than 200, you start counting in decades."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

You chew on your lip thoughtfully.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice!"

You say to Chakraja, "What are the restrictions?"

You say to Chakraja, "On what can be done with.. to... with..."

You look up into the air for divine inspiration.

You say to Chakraja, "With the auction items?"

Kagato gives you the once-over, eyeing you suspiciously.

Acrune gives you the once-over, eyeing you suspiciously.

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Don't force your servant to do things they don't want
to do!"

"Ok!" you exclaim.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Can we have them prance around Magnagora in a dress?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "That covers a lot of things!"

Romaan shifts his eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Savea snaps his fingers.

Daunte thrusts his palm towards his forehead and hits it with a resounding *smack*!

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "If they're okay with it, sure!"

Savea taps his fingers together and murmurs, "Excellent..."

Trueflight Iytha says, "I believe it was that you'd negotiate with the purchase one month's labour."

"Doom..." Savea intones somberly at Romaan.

Trueflight Iytha says, "So it has to be something they'd agree to."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

You say, "I think I missed that. Please continue."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "One month's labour is on the line! Think of what you
can do with one month's time! Hunting! Gathering! Farming!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Calligraphy-writing for invitations!"

Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light says, "Sleeping!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Spar partner!"

Trueflight Iytha says, "A footstool."

You peer at Romaan unscrupulously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "They must be a willing footstool!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "With the Queen, that won't exactly be sparring..."

Savea shifts his eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Chakraja nods her head at Savea, showing her acceptance.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Any other questions?"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "Nope."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once, going twice, sold!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Without further ado! Let us begin!"

Romaan fidgets impatiently.

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud exclaims, "Have some platters and champagne!!"

Saoirse points accusingly at a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Saoirse points accusingly at a delicate seahorse-shaped champagne flute.

Saoirse bounces up and down.

A wry smile spreads across Aeral's face.

Vivet picks up a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

"Oooooooooh!" Acrune says to a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns, eyes wide with
wonder.

Kagato sniffs a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns, trying to decipher just what that
smell emanating from it is.

Finger extended, Kagato pokes a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Auction item one is Sir Romaan D'Varden! A faithful
servant of the Light through service in the Paladins, he is honourable, loyal, and trustworthy!"

Vivet eats a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns with obvious gusto.

Romaan snaps to attention zealously, his posture an example of perfect military discipline.

Aeral giggles with drunken delight.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "A retired guildmaster of the Paladins, he would
certainly be a worthy opponent in the arena or an ally on the field of combat!"

Savea gives Aeral a peck on the cheek.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Let us begin bidding at 10,000 gold!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "Here!"

You say, "12,000!"

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "15,000!"

Neos and Aeral shine with a sudden, watery light.

Currently, there are 20 Citizens on this Plane and 3 on other Planes.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "15,000 gold."

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "14,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "12,000 is the new high! 15,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Meliana is the high bid!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "You have to be faster with your bids, people!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "25,000."

Opening your mouth wide, you gape in wonder.

Kelly looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Soul aeon."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Ulkira has 25,000 on Romaan!"

Aeral looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Finger extended, Iytha pokes a king's ransom of golden sovereigns.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Do I hear 30,000?"

Utterly entranced, Saoirse emits a long "Ooooh."

Sir Savea McCloud says, "25,001."

You give Savea the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Savea shifts his eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Aeral hides a grin behind her hand.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Increments of 1,000!"

Kelly glances askance at Savea.

Romaan thwaps Savea on the head.

Aeral pats Savea in a friendly manner.

Postulant Acrune McCloud says, "Is this where we drown Savea?"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Fiiiine. 26,000."

With a loud yet playful whistle, a mechanical dirigible comes puttering in on currents of air, its
metallic claw grasping a pair of baby blue cotton panties, which it quickly deposits in Kelly's
hands.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Yes, Savea is first on the list for drowning after the
auction."

A benchmark in gnomish engineering and flight, this lighter-than-air craft bobs up and down on the
slightest draft and breeze, yet manages to maintain its general position irrelevant of the strength
of the air's pull or push. Gaudily painted in a variety of colours, the bulk of the dirigible is a
large, elongated balloon, just over two feet in length. Ridges line the painfully bright skin of the
craft, undoubtedly from the support system within. Attached to the base of the blimp is a small
cargo unit, the few windows at its fore allowing glimpses of a variety of gears and cogs turning
cheerfully within. The unit itself has several valves on it, occasionally emitting whistling steam
as it maintains altitude. As if to ensure none could doubt a gnome devised such a thing, a multi-
jointed metal arm hangs from the bottom of the dirigible, the end of which is fitted with a metallic
claw, designed in mimicry of a mortal's hand for grasping purposes. The arm occasionally whirs to
life, extending all the way down before folding back up, as if stretching its metallic joints. He is
called 'Doug.'
A mechanical dirigible looks weak and feeble.
He is strangely weightless.
He is loyal to Ardmore Ysav'rai.
You cannot see what a mechanical dirigible is holding.

Magister Aeral McCloud, Companion of the Even Bladed says to Romaan, "Touch my son and you'll have a
worse fate than being auctioned off."

The corners of Romaan's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Kelly's eye twitches in a rather strange manner.

A mechanical dirigible bobs up and down on the air currents before jets of steam erupt from several
of its valves, then putters off.

Magister Aeral McCloud, Companion of the Even Bladed says to Chakraja, "Same goes to you."

Neos stares into his cupped hands.

Iytha ponders Kelly thoughtfully, looking her up and down.

Daunte sighs deeply, as if he has suffered a great loss.

You peer at Aeral unscrupulously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "He will be drowned in a peaceful manner!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "Those Gaudiguchians."

Aeral hums a happy tune.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "All will envy his death."

You snicker softly to yourself.

Aeral cracks her knuckles loudly.

Saoirse gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light says to Aeral, "He should follow the rules!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Sir Savea has 26,000 gold on Sir Romaan!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going once!"

The Celestian Lotto booth and auction house.
Rays of golden light sweep through the area with watchful purpose, signifying a shield shrine of
Valtreth nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A small, pleasant booth
sits off of the first floor landing, a dark, sturdy hardwood underfoot providing flooring with
little need for maintenance. Golden sandstone walls form the boundaries of this simple chamber, each
with a single, large aperture that allows light to flow in, alongside a healthy breeze carrying the
spray of the Inner Sea. A solid counter sits to the north of the room, behind which stands a

around here. There are 2 pudgy, stuffed pandas bear here. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic
sigil lies here. There are 52 platters of delightfully plump panda steamed buns here. A hairy black
spider with bat wings scuttles about here, skittering back and forth. There are 44 delicate seahorse-
shaped champagne flutes here. Emeraude, the Mizuchi sits here, her impressive form wound into a
tight coil. Yuna, the olive-green kea swings upside-down from her perch, singing merrily. Rayen
McCloud is here. She wields an ethereal tahto of light and shadow with both hands. Resplendent in
cerulean and angel blue plumage, an aquatic Angel of Hallowed Waters drifts here amidst an aura of
amber-tinged, azure light. Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus is here, shrouded. She wields a frosted
weather balloon in her left hand. Postulant Acrune McCloud is here. He wields a harmonious flame-red
mandolin in his left hand. Sir Savea McCloud towers here. Iytha is here, pondering thoughtfully. She
wields a crwth-style bowed lyre in her left hand. Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone is here.
She wields a radiant symbol of love in her left hand and an athame dagger in her right. Ecclesiarch
Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide is here, shrouded. She wields a radiant symbol of love in her
left hand and a glowing powerstone in her right. Daunte, Cleric of Wisdom is riding on a hairy black
spider with bat wings. He wields a luminous symbol of justice in his left hand and a golden sunburst
shield in his right. Aeral is here, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. She wields a magic spatula in her
left hand and a coral staff in her right. Kelly is here, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. She wields a
black, lightning-blade katana with both hands. Staring straight ahead, Romaan stands here with
perfect military posture. Primus Vivet Pavok is here. She wields an onyx void blaster in her left
hand and a golden whip of the pious in her right. Orbiting around her head are several spinning
crystals. Armed and armoured in the lambent Glory of the Exalted, a proud Imperial Merian Premier
stands here at the ready. Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud towers nearby, her form
radiating heatless waves of celestial fire. She wields a radiant symbol of love in her right hand. A
solstice dragon lies coiled here, blowing puffs of red and green smoke. Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn
Sea is here. She wields an elegant tahto of clear diamond and spiralling green sea glass with both
hands.
You see a single exit leading northwest.

Ulkira creases her brow in a frown.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice!"

Kelly urges Ulkira onwards.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice and a half!"

Aeral nudges Ulkira suggestively.

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "30,000."

Daunte snickers softly to himself.

Romaan snickers softly to himself.

Utterly entranced, Romaan emits a long "Ooooh."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "30,000! The Lady Silvermoon has bid 30,000!"

Aeral shifts her eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Romaan urges his companions onwards.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice!"

Swinging out her tahto in a graceful motion to point at Ulkira, Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea
says, "Sold! To Lady Silvermoon! Sir Romaan, please stand by your new employer!"

Saoirse claps her hands together merrily.

You clap your hands together merrily.

Aeral's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Kelly gives Romaan a thumbs up.

Saoirse smiles and shakes Ulkira's hand, offering her congratulations.

Ulkira claps her hands together merrily.

"Nice!" you say with an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Congratulations on your purchase, Lady Silvermoon! Next
up on the list!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone asks, "Who do I give the gold too?"

Saoirse points accusingly at Meliana.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Please give gold to Meliana or deposit into the bank
account of Celest after the auction!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Or now!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "That's fine too!"

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "You can hand it to me. I'll be depositing it
all to the bank afterward."

Meliana nods her head sagely.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "The esteemed Lady Iytha is next up on the list!"

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Might be safer to give it to meliana, so people
do not bid beyond their capacity and try to scrape together funds afterwards. Just a thought."

You see the following people here:
Savea, Iytha, Kialkarkea, Neos, Aeral, Rayen, Acrune, Ulkira, Meliana, Romaan, Saoirse, Chakraja,
Kagato, Daunte, Kelly, Vivet, Telperion, Andala.

You pick up a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

You put your nose over a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns and inhale.
The sweet aroma of steamed buns wafting from this platter causes you to wonder what sumptuous
filling they might contain.

You quickly devour a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.
You begin by dipping the rightmost panda bun into the soy and vinegar
sauce, slightly dimpling the fluffy delight. You dig your teeth into the
soft, doughy bun and reveal a delectable filling of mixed vegetables
within. Hints of green onions, sliced cabbages, mushrooms, carrots,
zucchini and glass noodles invade your mouth, blending perfectly with
the sweetness of the bun. The myriad of flavours is complemented by the
salty and sour taste of the sauce, which lingers pleasantly in your
mouth. You gobble up the rest of the tasty treat before picking up the
leftmost bun and dipping it into the sauce. A meaty aroma wafts
enticingly from the bun as you bite into it and relish in the barbecued
pork belly and shallot filling. As soon as the bun is consumed, you take
a moment to gaze at the last remaining panda bun and, with a shrug,
proceed to stuff yourself with it, occasionally dipping it into the
sauce. A burst of exotic and delicious flavour erupts in your mouth as
you savour the taste of the seasoned ground pork and sauteed mixed
vegetable filling. A sense of satisfaction fills you as you finish off
the last of the scrumptious buns.
Your constitution is enhanced by eating a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Kialkarkea sways back and forth.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea leaps over the booth's counter and stands beside Iytha, gesturing
grandly at the woman.

Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light says to Chakraja, "I must rest now but you will get your
full days work out of me."

Iytha waves goodbye.

Romaan hides a grin behind his hand.

Romaan gives the world a smart salute.

Telperion waves goodbye at Romaan.

Ulkira hugs Romaan compassionately.

Sir Romaan D'Varden, Armies of the Light says, "Have fun all!"

Kialkarkea waves goodbye at Romaan.

You give Romaan a respectful salute.

Daunte quickly devours a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Lady Iytha has a number of plays on the Celest stage,
and has won prestige for them as well!"

Ulkira nods her head at Romaan.

Trueflight Iytha flits up to the stage, twirling about in mid air.

Romaan leaves to the northwest, emanating an aura of immense power.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "An amazing story-writer, actress, and playwright, she
will certainly be an excellent and helpful editor for your own works in progress!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "We will start bidding at 10,000 gold!"

You raise your hand high in the air, feeling hopeful.

Trueflight Iytha says, "Also formerly the city librarian, Archprelate and Grand Cipher of the
Illuminati, Prophetess of Gorgulu, Yan of Magnagora, discoverer of Aquagoria and all around know-it-
all."

Kelly looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I'll take 10."

Daunte, Cleric of Wisdom says, "And humble."

Iytha nods her head at Daunte.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Thank you, Lady Iytha! Yes, she is all of those
things!"

You say, "12."

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Kelly narrows her eyes at you in an unnerving manner.

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "Fifteen?"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "20!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "20,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 25,000!"

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "Twenty five then."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "25,000 to Lady Diodorus!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

The corners of Iytha's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I'll go 30."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 30,000?"

"Ahah!" Chakraja exclaims triumphantly.

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus looks thoughtful and says, "Thirty five then."

Yuna, the kea flies over to land on Kagato's shoulder, gently taking his ear in her hooked beak and
tugging at it playfully, causing him to swat at her gently, only for her to mischievously dart out
of reach.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Thirty-five!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 40,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice!"

Kelly ponders the situation.

Looking at Kelly expectantly, Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Twice and a half!"

Daunte chuckles long and heartily.

Beads of sweat break out on Kelly's face.

Kelly coughs softly.

Trueflight Iytha says, "Also former author and editor of the Gaudiguch Gossip! And the Purveyor of
the Hymn?"

Meliana nudges Savea suggestively.

Meliana points accusingly at Iytha.

Iytha urges Kelly onwards.

You grin mischievously at Iytha.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "40 then!"

The corners of Chakraja's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "40,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "Fourty three then. For change's sake."

Iytha gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Forty-three!"

Ulkira opens a seafoam-beribboned gift box of eventide blue.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear forty-five?"

Currently, there are 18 Citizens on this Plane and 4 on other Planes.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Who's being bid on now?"

Neos points accusingly at Iytha.

With a hopeful smile, Iytha raises her hand high in the air.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea cups a paw behind her ear, listening for more bids.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Lady Iytha currently going for 43,000!"

Comprehension flashes across Savea's face.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice and three-quarters!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Who won Sir Romaan?"

Neos points accusingly at Ulkira.

Meliana points accusingly at Ulkira.

Trueflight Iytha says, "Ulkira did."

With a hopeful smile, Ulkira raises her hand high in the air.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Sold! To Lady Kialkarkea for 43,000 gold."

Savea gives Ulkira the once-over, eyeing her suspiciously.

Saoirse claps her hands together merrily.

With several beats of her wings, Iytha alights upon Kialkarkea's shoulder.

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "Yay!"

You feel that Kialkarkea deserves some congratulation, and so you clap wildly.

Ulkira claps her hands together merrily.

Kialkarkea nods her head sagely.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea whips her tahto in the direction of Kialkarkea.

Meliana congratulates Kialkarkea with some wild clapping.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Congratulations!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Lady Iytha, please stand by your new employer!"

Pointing at her shoulder, Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "She has already alighted upon my
shoulder."

"Heh heh heh" you chuckle.

"Ahah!" Chakraja exclaims triumphantly.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "My eyes. I am getting older!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "I can hardly see any of you in the front row."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "My apologies."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "So I'm trusting you all to stand by the right person. I'll
assume it's the right person due to poor eyesight and identification issues."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Auction item three!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Unfortunately! This auction item is not present at the
moment, but he is very desirable and useful!"

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says, "How mysterious!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Auction item three is Sir Bandeon, Lord General of the
Armies of Light!"

Trueflight Iytha says, "11000 gold!"

You say, "13!"

Iytha snaps her fingers.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "13! Do we hear 15!"

Trueflight Iytha says, "I only have 11000."

Vivet sucks thoughtfully on her teeth.

Primus Vivet Pavok says, "20,000."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "More on Lord Bandeon while you ladies and gentlemen are
pondering the purchase. He has a lovely foreign accent. Knows how to rule with an iron fist. I'm
assuming that last part."

Sir Savea McCloud says, "15,000."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "20,000!"

You grin mischievously at Chakraja.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Ack."

Trueflight Iytha says, "He's the World's Oldest Paladin!"

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Bloody soul aeon."

Trueflight Iytha says, "One of a kind."

You say, "That's... likely true."

You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Lady Iytha is probably right!"

You say, "Practically a relic!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "We'll add it to his resume."

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "30."

Sir Savea McCloud says, "25,000."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Yes! So valuably old, he's practically an antique."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "30,000!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "...I give up."

You hug Savea compassionately.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Do I hear 35,000?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Just bid 10,000 more or so to catch up!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "This soul aeon is making me want to throttle someone."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "30,000 would be even safer!"

Neos points accusingly at Acrune.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Secure this one of a kind orclach purchase with
exorbitant amounts of gold!"

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says to Iytha, "If you purchase someone, do I gain de-facto ownership of
them thanks to my current ownership of you? Chain of command and whatnot."

Trueflight Iytha says, "Get Bandeon! He's a paladin and therefore throttleproof."

Iytha shrugs helplessly at Kialkarkea.

Glaring at Meliana, Saoirse prods her repeatedly, the height of rudeness.

Trueflight Iytha says, "Haven't the foggiest."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Only if the servant agrees too."

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "35,000!"

You rush up to Meliana and throw your hands into the air, giving a loud "WOO!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "35,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Who will go against the ladywife for her husband?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Everyone wants to, I'm sure."

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "50."

Daunte hides a grin behind his hand.

Vivet hums a happy tune.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "50,000!"

You snicker at Kelly.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Prove to the Queen that royalty doesn't always get what they
want!"

Chakraja urges her companions onwards.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 55,000?"

Acrune gives some gold sovereigns to Meliana.

Meliana gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Saoirse snickers softly to herself.

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Chakraja, "You used to be my favourite."

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "55!"

You snicker softly to yourself.

Chakraja smiles angelically at Kelly, wide-eyed and innocent.

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Acrune, "Traitor!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "55,000!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "60!"

Kagato smirks.

Acrune grins mischievously at Kelly.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "60,000!"

You thwap Kelly on the head.

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "65!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "The Queen is pushing the ladywife's limits!"

Meliana peers at Kelly unscrupulously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Who wants to get in on this action!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "65,000!"

Saoirse giggles happily.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "75."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "75,000!"

Chakraja gives a short gasp of elation.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "I wish the Lord General was here to see this."

Savea snickers softly to himself.

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "80!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "80,000!"

Opening her mouth wide, Saoirse gapes in wonder.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "100."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "My, Sir Bandeon is a hot commodity indeed."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "100,000!"

Rayen McCloud says to Kelly, "What a bully you are."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Queen Kelly is asserting herself!"

Meliana crosses her arms on her chest, sticks out her lower lip, and pouts.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Asserting her dominance!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Primus Vivet Pavok watches the proceedings impassively as her tail gently sways back and forth.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I'm not a bully."

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "105!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "105,000!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "Meliana!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "It is for his own good!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I must.."

Kelly's eye twitches in a rather strange manner.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider chuckles softly.

Savea rolls on the floor, laughing.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "105,000!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "120!"

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "Oh the wonderful things that the Queen and
Lord Bandeon would do togther!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "120,000!"

Meliana gives a horrified gasp.

Vivet stares implacably about herself.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "We have a real fight going on here!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "You've broke me!"

You give 20,000 gold sovereigns to Meliana.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Will anyone choose to help out the ladywife?"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Something tells me he's about to be the highest-paid-for auctionee."

Ulkira gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "130!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "What?"

Savea gives some gold sovereigns to Meliana.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Andala, the kind soul, has contributed her efforts to the
fight!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "130,000!"

Savea urges Meliana onwards.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "This is treason!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Does Kelly have the superior force of will to beat two
McClouds?"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "The masses are rebelling!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Two of her own people?"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "150!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Queen Kelly tries to quell the mutiny with 150,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Will she succeed?"

Iytha looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going once!"

Meliana gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice!"

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "I haven't enough!"

"Awwwww!" Saoirse says.

You give 2,000 gold sovereigns to Meliana.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "The ladywife doesn't have enough in her coffers to keep
her husband! Oh no!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "That's all the gold I had."

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "Do you really need to buy your husband?"

"I'm sorry!" Savea says to Meliana with a blush.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I fear for your marriage.."

Meliana gives Kelly a horrified gasp.

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Kelly, "Homewrecker."

You nod your head at Saoirse, showing your acceptance.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "Hey now."

Saoirse nods her head sagely.

Kagato puts his hands on his hips and goes "Hmmm!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "That's my brother!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Will the homewrecker win this battle?"

Meliana gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "155,000 on Meliana's behalf."

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "I shall let her have him."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going two and a half times!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "155,000!"

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "Orrrrr not!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "No!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Sold!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "200!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "Noooo."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "The power of love triumphs!"

Saoirse rolls on the floor, laughing.

Daunte chuckles long and heartily.

Avurekhos shifts his eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "What!"

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Now now Chak, that was not really fair."

Primus Vivet Pavok says, "That sure finalised quickly."

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Kelly, "Too slow!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Queen Kelly is a late bidder and must be drowned!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Doesn't everyone else want to see that?"

You snicker softly to yourself.

Saoirse throws her hands into the air and gives a loud, "WOO!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Chakraja, "You will be punished."

You grab protectively at Chakraja.

You thwap Kelly on the head.

Kelly glares angrily at you.

Sir Savea McCloud says to Kelly, "And she was your favourite child...?"

Iytha gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Postulant Acrune McCloud says, "Yes. From a distance, where I won't be caught in the bloodbath."

Savea glances askance at Chakraja.

Kagato gives some gold sovereigns to Meliana.

Pointing the tahto at Meliana, Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Sir Bandeon goes to Lady
Meliana for 155,000, on behalf of Lord Kagato's bid!"

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Savea, "She is no spawn of mine."

Savea chuckles long and heartily.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Congratulations, Lady Meliana, on your purchase!"

You peer about yourself unscrupulously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "This decision was in no way biased."

Saoirse giggles happily.

You grin mischievously at Chakraja.

The garnet embedded in Emeraude's forehead gives a flare of light, turning clear as diamond as the
symbols of each of the nine domoth appears briefly within, the gem finally returning to its original
blood-red colour.

Emeraude, the Mizuchi says, "Suuuuure..."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "I don't believe in happy endings!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Just happy middles."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "The next auction item is number four!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "If i had more gold I would of bidded on Iytha too."

"Heh heh heh" Ulkira chuckles.

Avurekhos ponders the situation.

Iytha gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Zephyr Kialkarkea Diodorus says to Ulkira, "Oh, I was prepared to go as high as one hundred and
fifty."

Kialkarkea reaches over and ruffles Iytha's hair fondly.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Also, if you really want to bid seriously, bid numbers
alongside your protests of indignation!"


Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Auctions go fast people! Like life! Disappears before
you know it!"

Kialkarkea sways back and forth.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Next auction item is Brother Mori Starrose, a member of
the Tahtetso!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Auction bids will start at 10,000!"

Trueflight Iytha says, "I'll bid 10000, I suppose."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "He will be a large addition to your social life!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Lady Iytha bids 10,000!"

Avurekhos tugs his chin thoughtfully.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 11,000?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Think of the hard labour you could potentially convince
him to do!"

Niina giggles happily.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Or the practice dummies that could be saved!"

Avurekhos tugs his chin thoughtfully.

You snicker softly to yourself.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Or maybe writing assignments! Maybe he likes to write!"

Iytha shakes her head at Chakraja.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once for 10,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Awww."

Trueflight Iytha says, "He's illiterate, sadly."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Awwwww."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "His value has gone down considerably."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "One cannot put a price on literacy."

You give 15,000 gold sovereigns to Ulkira.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice!"

Primus Vivet Pavok says, "15000."

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "15000."

An austere blue glow fills the room, fading away to reveal Azula coming in from the northwest.

"Ahah!" Azula exclaims triumphantly.

You raise your hand in greeting to Azula and say "Hi!"

Iytha gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Vivet's eyes sparkle with amusement.

"Heh heh heh" you chuckle.

Azula picks up a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

Azula eats a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns with obvious gusto.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "The Primus Vivet has bid 15,000!"

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Azu-zu!"

Sidereal Adjudicator, Azula Vivalde says, "BUNS."

Kagato romps playfully in circles around Azula.

Iytha picks up a platter of delightfully plump panda steamed buns.

You say, "They're delicious!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 16,000?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice!"

Meliana giggles with drunken delight.

You give 2,000 gold sovereigns to Ulkira.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Going twice and seven-eighths!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "17000."

Niina claps her hands together merrily.

"Oops!" Avurekhos exclaims with a bashful expression.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "17,000! The Lady Silvermoon has made her bid!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going once!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 18,000?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice!"

Pointing her tahto at Ulkira once more, Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Sold! To Lady
Silvermoon!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says to Ulkira, "Congratulations on your purchase, Lady
Silvermoon!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says to Ulkira, "I'm sure Brother Mori will serve you well!"

Ulkira nods her head emphatically.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Next up on the auction list is item five!"

Neos turns towards the northwest and steps forward, instantly collapsing into a torrent of water
that rushes outwards with a thunderous crash of water.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "A very venerable and prestigious follower of the Light, Lord
Faragan McCloud is a master of all trades, quite literally!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Shopkeeper, owner of countless artifacts, preacher of
the Light, he has seen and learned much in his time in the Basin!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Bidding will start at 20,000 gold!"

You see the following people here:
Kialkarkea, Acrune, Ulkira, Rayen, Kagato, Iytha, Savea, Kelly, Niina, Daunte, Vivet, Avurekhos,
Saoirse, Chakraja, Telperion, Meliana, Andala.

Queen Kelly McCloud says, "I'll take 20."

Primus Vivet Pavok says, "25000."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "The Queen has bid on her brother for 20,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Lady Vivet Pavok has bid 25,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "Do I hear 30,000?"

You say, "27."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "27,000!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Do I hear 28,000?"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Think of all the artifacts and tradeskills you could
exploit!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "I mean borrow!"

Ulkira Silvermoon, Adherent of the Crone says, "I am being called away."

Chakraja nods her head at Ulkira.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says to Ulkira, "Thanks for your patronage, Lady Silvermoon!"

Ulkira nods her head emphatically.
Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Lady Silvermoon leaves with two new employees! Will she
keep holding the record? Or will someone usurp her?"

Ulkira searches the air in front of her, then tugs upon an invisible strand of force.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Lord Faragan is going for 27,000!"

provide you!"

Trueflight Iytha says, "A pillow fortress!"

Chakraja nods her head at Iytha, showing her acceptance.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Sadly, not at present. I do know a couple of
people that I may be able to borrow one off of though."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "A fortress of pillows, or corpses, or live quinotaurs!

Carakhan's Order! Think of the prayers she could intercede on your behalf!"

his arms. After a long moment they fade, though his eyes blaze with light for some time after.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Look at her!"

Chakraja points accusingly at Meliana.

She is a graceful elfen demigoddess and unremarkably tall and lithe like the others of her race. Her
thick hair hangs loose just past the waist, framing her body in a veil of silky strands that haven't
dulled with age. Each lock is as coppery red as the day she was born having lost none of its
intensity through the centuries. A pair of large discerning eyes compliment her delicate face in the
warmest of blue fringed by dark lashes. Below her slightly upturned nose are full lips softly shaded
a natural pink. She is wearing a ridiculous pig nose, the Mantle of Starlight, a leather backpack, a
radiant seascape bracelet, a scented cloth bracelet entwined with spice bouquets, a black silk cloak
accented with tiny white bows, a silken black coat accented with tiny white angel wings, Gloves of
Mastery, a cat hat, a slinky gown of the deadly killer whale, a gold and ivory exalted crest brooch,
a celestial pentacle brooch, a nacreous pearl thunderhead brooch, a turquoise tortoise brooch, a
hollow wedding band filled with sapphire-infused liquid, a light blue coral ring, an etched coral
ring, a thin opal band, a silken silver satchel and a luxurious satchel with golden accents. She
walks with the truefavour of Lisaera. She walks with the truefavour of Isune.

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "She has a killer dress."

Iytha gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Council member..."

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "Suspicious!"

You nod your head at Saoirse.

Saoirse giggles happily.

Saoirse shoves Meliana rudely.

You say, "Very suspicious."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Celest does not publicly endorse bribery!"

Meliana peers at Saoirse unscrupulously.

Saoirse hums innocently to herself.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "On to the next item!"

Savea shifts his eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Feyr dances down a moonbeam and alights gently on the ground.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "...we don't."

Savea snaps his fingers.

Kialkarkea ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Niina gives Feyr a peck on the cheek.

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Kagato, "You don't wanna do that!"

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "You might miss the interesting bids!"

Kagato drops a group of 100 coltsfoot plugs.

undersecretary!"

The body of Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider appears in a flash and his soul descends
to fill it, causing the previously expressionless face to fill with emotion.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Sorry, was unavoidable."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "She also is a skilled dreamweaver on the field of
combat!"

bid is Lady Iytha!"

With a hopeful smile, Iytha raises her hand high in the air.

Kialkarkea points accusingly at Iytha.

Comprehension flashes across Savea's face.

Druid Feyr Yfae'dren says, "35,000 gold."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea says, "35,000 gold!"

Finger extended, Iytha pokes Savea.

pleasant man, carefully sorting through stray tickets and humming a tune to himself. A spirited
pegasus with leathery bat wings is here, a gentle air hanging about her. Floating a few feet above

with both hands. Postulant Acrune McCloud is here. He wields a harmonious flame-red mandolin in his
left hand. Resplendent in cerulean and angel blue plumage, an aquatic Angel of Hallowed Waters
drifts here amidst an aura of amber-tinged, azure light. A solstice dragon lies coiled here, blowing
puffs of red and green smoke.
You see a single exit leading northwest.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "I bid a pegasus."

Sir Savea McCloud says to a spirited pegasus with leathery bat wings, "Sorry girl."

one!"

 Oh well celest only."

these auctions, the bids would easily reach the millions most likely..."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Acanthyra and Acanthyran!"

Utterly entranced, you emit a long "Ooooh."

With a hopeful smile, Acanthyran raises his hand high in the air.

Acanthyra strikes a pose.

Looking slightly worried at the situation, Acanthyran quickly hides behind Acanthyra.

Iytha puts her hands on her hips and goes "Hmmm!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "These twins are adorable as can be."

ice! Salt and pepper!"

Unblooded Ilkrus Yfae'dren says, "20."

Squire Acanthyra, Ward of Vanthan says to Acanthyran, "Except that one time. The harbour master was
never the same."

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Is it wrong that I think that since this was a
pair deal that bids should have started at 20,000?"

Queen Kelly McCloud says to you, "You didn't bleed him dry."

"

Musingly, Isune, the Aesthete says, "However..."

Acanthyran ponders the situation.

Isune tilts Her head back slightly and warbles a quiet melody which resonates harmoniously through
the air.

Squire Acanthyra, Ward of Vanthan says to Acanthyran, "Or only the ones people can't catch!"

Chakraja tilts her head curiously at Isune.

An uneven portal rips open the air and a falcon of massive proportions flutters through on
unreliable wings before the rift snaps shut once more.

guessing."

have hats, and outfits?"

Ecclesiar Acanthyran says, "With a legion of pigeons..."

Kialkarkea chews on her lip, deep in thought.

Ecclesiar Acanthyran says, "We could bombard Captain Octopus."

Acanthyran drifts away from the conversation, lost in his daydreams.

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide says, "Enough to drive Sir Vanthan mad!"

Sir Savea McCloud says, "Like parade them over Sir Vanthan's head?"

Volucer says, "Everybirdie will be at your disposal."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "What could one accomplish with a pigeon army? I think
the better question is, what couldn't one accomplish?"

"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going twice!"

Ecclesiar Acanthyran whispers to Acanthyra, "We're fish people. It's the same thing."

"Heh heh heh" Daunte chuckles.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "The Lady's personal servant at your command!"

Isune, the Aesthete says to Kelly, "Only two Volucers? Surely a Queen is worth more than a silly
little falcon."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Surely he is worth more than a paltry 300,000 gold!"

Chakraja shifts her eyes suspiciously from side to side.

Volucer turns his back on Isune and pointedly ignores Her.

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Kelly sold for 600,000 soverigns."

Avurekhos sways back and forth.

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Isune, "Your association might be inflating his worth.."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "You could use him to spy on your enemies, maybe!"

Eyeing the falcon critically, Isune, the Aesthete says to Kelly, "Hmm, you may have a point."

Unblooded Ilkrus Yfae'dren says to Volucer, "Only when you want to be, maybe?"

Folding his wings so he can reach them easily, Volucer preens his wings happily, straightening out
the disheveled feathers.

Kagato twitters like a bird at Yuna, the kea.
Yuna, the kea starts whistling along with Kagato, their whistling creating a pleasant harmony.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Yes! A dancing partner! Maybe for the festival's ball!"

Daunte, Cleric of Wisdom looks skeptical and says, "I'll have to save up a few decades to bid at the
level of some of you."

Volucer exclaims, "I will even wear a bowtie!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going two and three quarters!"

Quietly, Ecclesiar Acanthyran says to Meliana, "If I were to glue feathers to our heads, do you
think Acanthyra and I might sell for more?"

Trueflight Iytha says, "What's Saoirse going to the ball as?"

Iytha ponders Saoirse thoughtfully, looking her up and down.

Queen Kelly McCloud says to you, "Better pay more compliments to your woman, hmm."

Chakraja flashes the victory sign.

Ecclesiarch Meliana McCloud, Her Cleansing Tide whispers to Acanthyran, "That would be impressive
indeed!"

You say to Saoirse, "I like your face."

Acanthyran tugs urgently on Isune's sleeve.

Savea thrusts his palm towards his forehead and hits it with a resounding *smack*!

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "He can dance, he can prance, he can do it all!"

Pondering, Volucer says to Saoirse, "You do have a nice face."

Squire Acanthyra, Ward of Vanthan whispers to Acanthyran, "There's a ball? When's that?"

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "Aww!"

Isune, the Aesthete says, "Dioni, I believe."

Queen Kelly McCloud says to you, "Try harder."

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says, "You don't like panda buns hmm!"

Ecclesiar Acanthyran says to Isune, "Could my sister and I borrow a few feathers?"

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says, "Sorry as much as I'd like to, Yuna would get
jealous... plus I haven't enough gold anymore."

nearby, her form radiating heatless waves of celestial fire. She wields a radiant symbol of love in
her right hand. Druid Feyr Yfae'dren is here. Resplendent in cerulean and angel blue plumage, an
aquatic Angel of Hallowed Waters drifts here amidst an aura of amber-tinged, azure light.
You see a single exit leading northwest.

Sir Savea McCloud says, "At least she likes your face. My fiancee tells me to go away sometimes."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going two and five sevenths..."

"Hmph!" Savea snorts.

Isune's eyes sparkle with amusement at Acanthyran.

Trueflight Iytha says, "Dioni-ish. I'll be providing the music. Dressed as a jellyfish."

Wide and dialated eyes of gold foil quickly focus and unfocus as the falcon turns its head with
short jerks and bobs to eye anything that moves too fast for its liking. His nervously clicking
beak and talons are a mother of pearl white, while the scales around his nostrils, eyes, and
forelegs are blue quartz, though all of them are scuffed, dull, and in poor condition. Downy
feathers are matted to the top of his beak and head, leading back to a ragged crest, and the
once long and elegant feathers that tipped his ears have been broken clean off. His feathers
overall are white and patterned with dull grey bars that work their way across his back, but
many are haggard from little care and overzealous preening, and even more feathers have
transparent markings and rusty stains from improper molting. He holds his wings halfway opened
in a permanent mantling stance, though they occasionally flick open or shut in a jittery twitch.
Volucer does not even register your presence as a threat.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Going three times!"

Volucer shifts his eyes over Yuna, the kea with a look of suspicion.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "And sold! To the Lady Saoirse for 300,000 gold!"

Ecclesiar Acanthyran says to Acanthyra, "She's like a normal people...just able to smoosh us if
She gets upset."

"Yay!", Saoirse shouts happily at Volucer.
Volucer gives Saoirse the once-over, eyeing her suspiciously.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Volucer, please stand by your new employer!"

Niina gives up a round of applause.

With a careful eye, Meliana balances a palette of paints in one hand and props a canvas on her knee.
She brushes with careful strokes until soon she has created a painting of the scene at the Celestian
Lotto booth and auction house.

Saoirse flashes the victory sign.

Yuna, the kea gives Volucer the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Avurekhos's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Utterly entranced, Volucer emits a long "Ooooh."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Congratulations on your purchase, Lady Saoirse!"

With a careful eye, Meliana balances a palette of paints in one hand and props a canvas on her knee.
She brushes with careful strokes until soon she has created a painting of the scene at the Celestian
Lotto booth and auction house.

Volucer shouts out a happy "Yay!"

Acanthyra claps her hands together merrily.

Acanthyra congratulates Saoirse with some wild clapping.

Thoughtfully, Ecclesiar Acanthyran says, "I'd think that it would get awfully boring with everyone
constantly knowing who and what you are and going out of their way to kiss up to you."

Acanthyran drifts away from the conversation, lost in his daydreams.

Meliana hugs a painting of the scene at the Celestian Lotto booth and auction house compassionately.

Volucer says to Saoirse, "Hooray! What will we do."

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Volucer, "We shall...."

Amused, Isune, the Aesthete says to Acanthyran, "We can hear you when you speak in front of Us, you
know."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "This auction has officially come to an end!"

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Volucer, "...think about that!"

Celestial Ambassador Kagato, the Plane Raider says to Isune, "Thank you once again for your
contribution to our auction, Lady Aesthete."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Thank you all for participating, both servants and
bidders!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Lady Isune, thank You for your generosity in offering
Volucer!"

Isune, the Aesthete says to Saoirse, "By the time you choose to watch over Volucer, I shall endeavor
to have him properly prepared for his...servitude."

Volucer blinks.

Niina giggles with drunken delight.

Entranced by Isune, Saoirse emits a long "Ooooh."

Advocate of the Sword, Saoirse Kissane-McCloud says to Isune, "Yes ma'am!"

Volucer says, "Hey! What does that mean?"

Isune, the Aesthete says, "Further, Saoirse, I extend My divinefavour upon you to make up for what
My falcon shall surely lack in manners."

Kelly gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Queen Kelly McCloud says to Chakraja, "Thank you for making this an... interesting event."

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea chimes, "You're welcome!"

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "I hope everyone had a good time!"

Saoirse giggles happily.

Chakraja McCloud, the Autumn Sea proclaims, "Have fun with your purchases!

Inclining Her head to all gathered, Isune, the Aesthete says, "I thank you once more for this grand
event. It has been delightful."

Chakraja presses her palms together over her heart and bows humbly, chanting a harmonic mantra that
fills the air with a sense of peace.

Isune, the Aesthete says to Volucer, "Come along, you."

Volucer hums a happy tune.

Isune's form shatters into a flock of colourful birds, their tiny forms tracing circles in the air
before soaring away.
