Salinye Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 A flyer appears tacked to a wall in the conservatory tower. Upon it is a picture of many of the pen men sporting various dating attire. Some had flowers or chocolate while others stood in poses they thought would look casual, but really were meant to show off their flexed muscles. Below was the following message: MEN! REVENGE IS UPON YOU! LADIES! BE BOLD! BE BRAVE! WE WANT YOU! Then in smaller print: (For the good of The Pen, you know.) Ladies, wonderful women of The Pen! Now is the time to pay back the men by following their example! Volunteer yourself to be auctioned off at The Pen’s first ever, Bachelorette auction! Last time I claimed that you have nothing to lose! However, these *are* the Pen men we’re talking about, so no guarantees! *stifled giggle* However, they were more than willing to be our guinea pigs for the first ever bachelor auction at the Summer Solstice Carnival. So, now it is our turn to put our time and creative energies on the line and step up onto the auction block. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to contact Salinye, Ayshela or Katzaniel, and watch for details on the auction itself , coming soon! This entire event is for the sole purpose of having fun and getting to know our neighbors here at Pen Keep. The men will pay for the ladies, so they get to pick how it will work in each partnership. So, you have several options of how to work this. 1. He can choose to have his partner write something about/for him. 2. He can choose to have his partner write up how their supposed date went. (Here the bachelorette can choose to make it a nightmare, humorous, chaotic, no one says it has to be romantic! :0)) So, gentleman, if you pick this option, remember you are placing the date in their creative hands! 3. He can choose to get with his partner and co-write the date or something entirely different. For instance, perhaps your partner can travel back in time and you want her to take you back so you can stop that tree from falling on your dog….etc…*grins* However you choose to work it, just make sure you have a good time and hopefully get to participate in some fun, creative writing and even perhaps get to know a Pen Friend better. You have until Monday the 20th to get signed up!. More details TBA Humbly~ Your guild leaders If you sign up late, be sure to PM Ayshela and Salinye!!!

Katzaniel Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 A very ordinary-looking woman carrying a briefcase and wearing a feminine suit wandered up to the sign, peering at it for a few moments before shrugging, picking up the pen, and signing. A passing fly did a loop-the-loop before landing on one of the short hornlike protusions in the woman's forehead. Barely noticing it, she reached up and brushed her hand over her hair, shooing the insect away and covering the horns. Horace, for that was the name now written in childish letters on the signup sheet, left the room and promptly forgot about the commitment. OOC: Horace is a demon, but a naive & relatively kindhearted one. She also has the "ability" to modify reality by not realizing that, for example, it's not possible to walk through glass.

purple_shadows Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Noticing a flyer posted on one of the tents, Shadows drops behind the other girls and reads the poster. She looks around quickly, to make sure the other two aren't watching and quickly scribbles down their names: Hannah Shadows PS She surpresses a giggle and then walks back to join her group with a new spring in her step. OCC: I'll PM their charecte descriptons later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zariah Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Zariah stumbled out of bed and sleepily washed her face. She threw on some fresh clothes and a brown cape. As she tripped her way down the staircase from her quarters, Zariah began to recall all the memories she had at the Pen and recalled how much she missed everyone while she was away. Zariah had taken a long trip back to the forest and crow family that had raised her until she was 10. But those adventures she decided to reminisce later, for she saw a sign tacked to a wall in the conservatory tower. Already seeing that she was not the first to put down a name, Zariah sighed in relief. She remembered that she never really got to finish her date with Gwaihir, but the time she did have had been ....interesting and odd....but really nice. She decided she would be interested in auctioning herself off. Zariah reached into her cape pocket and pulled out her trademark crow feather quill and placed her signature on the third line. As she exited the room, she smiled and continued down the hall preoccupied with the wonderful thoughts in her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salinye Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Well, I suppose I should sign up, considering the original auction was my brain child. Fair is fair, yes? Salinye casually adds her name to the list then looks around wondering where all the rest of the pen women are! ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayshela Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 a very weary Ayshela wanders by and adds her name to the sign up list. Someone may have a spare geld or two, after all, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynx Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Mynx wanders over and reads the form. After a moment's thought, she bends over the signup list, before hefting her scythe over her shoulder and drifting off. On the form, in two very different forms of writing, were two names...

Alaeha Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Alaeha steps into the conservatory, and smiles as she spots the flyer. Then, as she reads the deadline, she frowns. She was almost too late. She hastily jotted down her name, and left to find out what else she might be behind on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) Rhapsody, the Lirin Namer (Singer), finishes her vespers and catches sight of a colorful flyer on her way back into the conservatory. Grinning devilishly, she pulls out a quill and scrawls her name in musical notes onto the parchment. Suddenly, she blanches, fearing "losing something" and nearly scratches out her name. After a moment of musing, she decides the Pen men must honor a fellow Pen woman. She leaves her name up on the flyer, singing a few verses about honor while underscoring her name, just to seal the pact. She finishes with a brief prayer hoping she isn't selling her soul and saunters whistling into the Conservatory. *Rhaps* Edited December 21, 2004 by Rhapsody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
