A tall and imposing-looking Highlander can be seen hanging the above flier amidst the three city-states. He wears retainer's attire and holds a polite, stoic, and otherwise unflappable expression. If one were to inquire as to the nature of his advertised event, he would reply as follows:

"Indeed. The Rendezvous Host Club will be running a public auction within our estate, located within the Eighth Ward of The Goblet, in Plot Thirteen. There will be no admission fee, and any are welcome to arrive and bid accordingly. Any winning bidders will receive their item in exchange for the promised bid immediately after the bidding closes for the item in question.

I believe it will be a relatively uncomplicated affair, and the items will be opened at values far below the Marketplace books. One list of items will be auctioned on the last day of this week, and the other will be auctioned on the first day of the next."

He then turns to tack a list of "luxury items" onto the board beneath the flier, displaying the alleged objects that will be auctioned off:

Day 1
Tomato Plushie Automaton
Broomba
Pointy and Smooth Lights
Universal Animal Bath
Luxury Shrubbery

*Slightly More Coeurl Leather â™€
*Deluxe Bathrobe

Day 2

*Ritzy Healer Traveler's Robe
*Eorzea's Largest Skewer
*Manly Necklaces
*Slightly Less Coeurl Leather â™‚
*Slightly More Coeurl Leather â™‚
*Imposing Bathrobe

Handicrafts Fun Kit for Fancy Attire
Handicrafts Fun Kit for Dusky Attire
Sheeples
Doman Yum-Yum-Snack
Fine Utensilry
Sahagin Gazing Ball
*Inestimable Tome
*Bejeweled Sash-Necklace
*Advanced Kitchen Knives

After posting, he bows to you and says, "We would be honored by your presence." With that, he steps away to post the next flier.

----------------OoC Information----------------

We decided to run a different sort of public event this time, holding an item auction at our estate! The exciting thing? All items will start at approximately half their MB value (as of my checking them today, 6.6.15.) In other words, if your bid is relatively uncontested, you could buy something and turn around and sell it for full value at a profit, if you so pleased! Or you could buy it at a lower rate for yourself, or as a gift for an IC special someone. (To provide an example, the Plumes of the Vortex bidding would start at 700k, as opposed to the Marketboard value of 1.4 million, and so on.) Anything marked with a * will be the HQ version of that item.

The main idea is to have fun RPing with this! As you see above, Maia doesn't really have the first idea what these items actually are, so I hope to have some entertaining banter throughout each day as well. We're hoping to renovate some of the rooms in the basement of our Host Club, provide additional uniforms and dyes to our new members, and perhaps add more private rooms accessible for public purposes with the raised funds.

We'll be hosting this in the Goblet, Ward 8, Plot 13. The front door will be open for people to freely gather inside, and the bidding will happen in Room 006 of the estate. Please /yell your bids so they're not lost in the ambient RP emotes! We will be linking all items throughout the auction, and we will be trading the items for payment immediately after the bid for that item is over.

Day 1's items will be sold on Saturday, June 6th, starting at 4:00 PM CST/5:00 EST.
Day 2's items will be sold on Sunday, June 7th, starting at 3:00 PM CST/4:00 EST.

Please let me know if there are any questions! Hope to see some people there for IC auction funtimes!

Edit: I've heard that for some people, some of the names are replaced with auto-links to the item in question. If this is a widespread issue, I'll redo the links so that it only links to a picture of the item, rather than a website that details the item name & description!

Ilwe'ran · **05-31-2015, 08:08 PM**

I have to say that the idea is pretty neat and the names you found for each item are amazing.

Maia · **05-31-2015, 11:09 PM**

Thank you, Ilwe'ran! As you probably guessed, the idea was heavily inspired by Final Fantasy 6, haha. I'm glad you like the names; I hoped they'd be entertaining! XD

Ryanti · **05-31-2015, 11:23 PM**

I think you'll find a familiar young man there to empty a bit of his pockets. :>

Maia · **06-01-2015, 01:56 PM**

Yay! Maia would probably be happy to hear from Ryanti again! Big Grin

And helping her business is also an investment that feeds back into his own, after all~

***Maril*** · **06-01-2015, 03:10 PM**

I will try to be there Smile

Â Great idea.

Maia · **06-01-2015, 03:46 PM**

That would be great! I tried to make both days at times that would be EU-friendly! Thank you!

Lilia Lia · **06-02-2015, 11:40 AM**

This sounds like a great night out.Â Maybe this time I'll get to win that Talking Chocobo!

Gegenji · **06-02-2015, 11:55 AM**

I need to get 35 of those 1/35 Soldiers so I can finally make a soldier all my own. Blush

Cest · **06-05-2015, 01:34 AM**

This looks like it could be fun! I'll be sure to be there.

We hope to make it reasonably fun and entertaining! Follow your dreams, little lalafell!

Heh, I was pretty young when I first played FF6, so I actually thought it was possible to collect the other 34 soldier parts to make a full soldier. Imagine my frustration!

Fantastic, sir! We'll look forward to seeing you! Moogle

On a more general note: we're currently trying to figure out the exact location of the Auction within our estate. We're toggling between the stair area (which, unfortunately, doesn't allow items on the lower platform), or recreating a more suitable and detailed "Auction House" room within our estate. I'll comment and edit the original post in large letters when we figure out this detail!

( The 1/35 Soldier was a FF7 item. I believe the one in FF6 was the 1/64 Model Airship, but I could be mistaken. Wink

That's what I meant! It was some sort of fraction of an item! My video game memorization skills are pretty well awful.

But at least I remember the big stuff, like how Sephiroth killed Celes in Mount Ordeals!

Gegenji · **06-05-2015, 08:57 AM**

I'm surprised I remembered either item, actually. It's been ages since I played through those games. Blush

I MIGHT be interested in those final items (though I'm certain I likely can't afford them), so I might swing by to see how the auctions are going. Not sure which character, though. Maybe OOCly with Gogon. [sub]V[/sub][sup][sub] Big Grin

This sounds intriguing.
