I think the time has come to start spending that sponsor money, Zipporah looks like she could use the help.

At least she had the sense to get her knife back.

WHO: Prometheus Clyde and all staffers/victors!
WHERE: Auction House, the Capitol
WHEN: Day #7, early afternoon; sometime after [REDACTED]
WHAT: A special Auction -- all adult characters received an invitation
STATUS: open

Prometheus Clyde is the premier auctioneer and go-to guru for rare artifacts. He holds somewhat sporadic auctions, all of which are huge hits and generally leave the attendees wanting more. He's an expert at finding highly valued and desired items -- if he has it, you want it. Prometheus also has a highly sensitive fashion sense and wouldn't be caught dead in anything but the latest trends, which, of course, goes for cosmetic surgery as well. Currently, he sports permanent body glitter and is also wearing a vintage Bit Coyne eye patch (though it is in honor of the recent trends set by Jet and Zap).

The auction itself is open to both Capitolites and Victors alike -- though its no secret the former's bids are favored, particularly when the items in question are things victor may wish to remove from public access. The auction house is open for about two hours prior to the show beginning. There is a recess for lunch and refreshments, as well as an after party to celebrate everyone's purchases. Plenty of sponsors abound, so smooze away!


OOC NOTE: If your character placed a bid on something, please make a note in the appropriate sub-thread. I'll do a roll and let you know the winners after everyone has had time to respond. Capitolites do get a weighted preference.

NOTE 2 One district will receive a special sponsor bonus for participation, due noon Feb 17.

[MARCUS]

It may be sleep deprivation talking, and for that I'm sorry, but please please please tell me that you saw that. I don't even know what to say to Pecan.

[D6 MENTORS/D2 MENTORS]

Hello. I'm sure you're hearing lots of proposals, but one of my tributes has said they like the look of your boy. If there was the possibility of bringing him to the pack, is there anything that he could offer in return for inclusion in the pack?

I hope everything's going well for you and yours.

[BRUTUS]

Ugh. I'm trying to be the Adult and Sensible Person I should be and
I have cake from Livya still. Want some?

[ZIPPORAH]

Rumour has it that they added a bullwhip. Did you leave it alone? I'm assuming, given previous years, that it'll be around for your individual session.

[D2 MENTORS + TRIBUTES]

What do we think about the additions to the weaponry available?

[BEETEE]

Apologies for taking up some of your time, I'm sure you're busy right now. I wanted to know if you had any time for a quick game before the first day.
Additionally, advice on these tablets would be welcomed at this point.

[MARCUS]

[Gemma's message copied and pasted]
Just so you know I'm seeking advice on how to filter out bullshit. Example: the above. I see lots of messages have flown around but I'm trying to concentrate on important ones, I'm hoping you'll update me with anything important.

[...]

Did you sleep much the first time you mentored?

[ZIPPORAH/BROCK/BRUTUS]

One has touched base, asking whether there'll be additions this year. I, personally, would advise against it but would be willing to hear arguments for.
