The student made a bid of 3100.
Then 3800, 4000, 4500, 4600 in quick succession. 1…2…3…4 seconds passesd.

Donovan, worked security at the tower, caught Cort’s eye and grinned. Clearly wondering how far Cort would go. It wasn’t likely he had any more to bet.

5…6…seconds.

Bidding Board

The pause made him consider whether he even had a chance. He didn’t consider himself an overly competitive person, but the fact that Fen apparently wanted him to bid (probably just to mock him later for it), well he was in it now. He bid 5000. That was him done though. He had hit his limit.

Bids of 4800 and 4875 were entered and then stopped at Cort’s 5000. The counter started over. Ten seconds never semlemed to take so long before. Then his bid flashed with the 3 second countdown.

BIDDING CLOSED
Cort Belanger, 5000 Credits

Shrine clapped as the screen flashed the winning bid. “Wonderful! Thank you Ms Fen and Mr Belanger.”

Shrine

Wait, what? Cort was actually surprised.

Dorma looked down at him…

To his credit, Cort didn’t smirk or anything of the sort. He did give a half-shrug.

And rolled her eyes. She stood up and shook her head, but smiled good-naturedly before walking off the stage.

Dorma Fen

Did Cort expect anything else? Actually, no. Though given earlier comments by Hyrushi he was starting to believe the Governor had a deeper sense of humour than he was letting on.

The auction progressed through several more ladies offering dinners to movies to picnics to piloting lessons. The auction pulled in another 25,000 credits between them all. “Our next bachelorette is our Nurse of Special Cases, Yavia Crockett.” Yavia stood. “Ms Crockett will be treating her highest bidder to her favorite past time, a little league baseball game and concession stand cuisine.” Her dress was ultra-feminine. It was a captivating two-piece burgandy dress that revealed a sexy and charming waistline. The flattering fitted bodice had a sheer lace neckline and long sleeves over the sweetheart lining ending slightly modest but short enough to give a glimpse of skin, whilst the chiffon skirt fell very naturally on Yavia and parted with a dramatic side slit.

It was Yavia, so of course she gave all the ladies on stage a wicked smile and wink before twirling and strutting to the center stool. And of course as Jal’na and Eela predicted, Yavia’s outfit helped increase the bids.

The first bid was 2000 by none other than William who was showered, hair cut, brand new suit, and clean. Then 3000 and 3500 and whispers of, “She’s Deltan.”

Then 4000 by one Dr Arlen Helaky.

Yavia

And then a bid of 6000 credits came up almost immediately.

Unknown Bidder(s)

Yavia turned to look at the screen as the emotional flow paused. She turned back around and gave a little finger wiggle wave. To who she had no idea. But this was for charity and she was going to have fun.

William bid 6200. Then there was 6500, 7000, then 8000. That one from a group of CCDA agents that decided to pool their money and laughed tossing Yavia a handful of winks.

Yavia

There was a pause… the timer started… and then…

20,000 credits.

Anonymous

The murmuring in the crowd stopped and Yavia looked over her shoulder. She was still grinning but Yavia wasn’t thrilled. Sharah, if, and that is a big if, Shrine ever does this again, no anonymous bidders! What is that?

Sharah’s mental laughter teased her, I told you not to wear that dress.

The timer started as Yavia continued to play the crowd, but no further bids arrived.

3…2…1

Identification due with Payment

Shrine was stunned and then remembered her voice, “Thank you Ms Crockett and our donor.” Yavia waved and returned to her seat.

Bidding Board

The murmuring of the crowd was cut by a high pitcher giggle. A human woman in her late sixties or early seventies (at least) laughed and threw her arms around a similarly aged Bolian male. “Oh my big blue wonder. Thank you!” They both stood, slowly, and made their way to the payment kiosk. The elderly couple waved at Yavia and smiled in genuine happiness that almost poured off of them. They paid as if buying a street-taco, and then waved at Yavia. “See you in a little while!” the woman said.

Mr. And Mrs. Borchek

Yavia waved at the couple with a laugh. Aww they were so cute and sweet. Well she lucked out then. She hoped they hadn’t blown a huge portion of their savings on this. But they didn’t seem bothered by the amount. Awww look how happy they were. Yavia exchanged grins with everyone else and shrugged.

“Next we have Ms Jessie Lyz. Our lucky bidder will be spending an afternoon picnic with special guests of the canine varity at the newly opened Oed Animal Shelter.” Jessie, a younger Bolian woman, was wearing tan slacks with a silvery shirt. She grinned broadly and waved as she took a seat on the stool.
