Kal can't help but smirk as the current auction draws to a close. Well that was unexpected.
He leans over to the bartender. "Hey... I'd like a bottle of water, please."
[Cabaret]
The other devil in the room smiles as the auction comes to a close as well, though Lanthil's is not quite so mischievious. Rather, deftly taking a glass of champagne from a passing server, she drifts over to where Dionysis is, falling in place beside him. "You don't seem to be enjoying yourself as much as you could be. May I ask why?" She says.
Cabaret
Well then, another lovely sight to perk up his spirits. Instead of responding verbally to Lanthil, Dionysius will attempt to graciously sweep up her free hand in his and plant a gentlemanly kiss upon her knuckles.
After that is done, whether it succeeds or fails, he shall speak, "Power and responsibility. I'm expected to temper one with the other, keeping both in equal measure. I am withheld from bidding, because I have the power to bid highly. I am forbid from reveling, because I have the power to breathe life into this stuffy event. The more power one has, the more restrictions one deals with, and some nights I question whether the shackles of power are worth their cumbersome weight."
A rather somber, mellow thought for a god of revelry. Perhaps the night's wine has loosened his lips in entirely the wrong way.
Kyranis does indeed come up to the stage to take Jezebel's hand and guide her down the stairs, using a bit of ice magic to form a tray, and float the money to Tualth as he does.
"Mysterious? Clearly, the rest of my House hasn't arrived yet...", he says, smiling back at her.
((I'd say one auction at a time, since that way those that will bid on either won't end up having to pick between two people they want to buy...))

Jezebel takes his hand and looks down at the man. "Who are you though?" She asks as she's guided away. "And for what reason did you bid on me?" She asks, curious.
On stage, Tualth reaches into a hat and pulls out a slip of paper. "Lord Magtok. If you could come up on stage..." She asks of him with a slight smile, amused.

"Kyranis m'Kybrae ir Ostrim, Sorcerer of House Ostrim. Though I suspect that the title is, at best, a relic here," he replies, shrugging. "And I bid on you because it appeared that the auction was drawing to a close, so I had a fair chance of success, and you interest me."

"Oh good. I would have been here sooner, but there was an explosion in the lab... had to clean up..." Then Magtok's name is announced, and Willow looks positively diabolical. "I did not know he would be up for auction. Wouldn't that make a nice little present for Daddy." She moves from the bar area to get a better view of the auction.
Defelent also ogles Jezebel. Perhaps he should have put a bid down, seeing as both he and Naethalee enjoy looking at her so much. Too late now, though, and it's a bloke up next. Defelent turns to Naethalee after Jezebel is out of sight. "I'll head up to the bar now. Is there anything you would like?"

I have a point!
Always willing to run a dungeon for those who need somewhere to explore. Just PM me, and decide the character and location and I'll see what I can rummage up.
Sorry, but short of somehow talking my way past security, walking right into the surgery room, and magically convincing Bugs to allow me to watch and make sure the heart goes in right and isn't rejected or anything, there's not much I can do for you, Missy.
The clone sitting amongst the auction-goers doesn't even budge from his seat! What the heck is his deal?! Magtok signed up for this thing, he shouldn't be a jerk and try to weasel his way out of it now, when it's far too late to do-
Oh, my bad. Sorry, I didn't see that other Magtok, the one who gave Missy a glass of water earlier. He walks right up onto the stage, trying to ignore the nervous butterflies bouncing around in his stomach. This is almost certainly a terrible idea that will end in disaster, but since it's for charity...well, we all have to make sacrifices to help out those less fortunate, right?

Tualth smirks and slams down the gavel to signal that the auction is starting.
Jezebel and Kyranis
"Yes, but who are you and why did you vote for me?" Jezebel tries to ask again, unsure if the man understood her question. "I don't mean just that you might snipe out the winning bid, but for what purpose?"

"500 gp." Samona is on screen for the first time since she showed up. No doubt she's been enjoying the party greatly so far. If maggy looks her way when she makes her bid she'll give him a wink.
A simultaneous cry of "900!" will sound from a pair of voices, one feminine and one androgynous. Integrity and Aubrey look at each other for a moment, before Integrity turns back towards the stage and says, "1000 Gold!"

Reinholdt twirls the paddle in his hand, as if deciding if it's worth it. But in the end, keeps it down. Having Magtok at the palm of his hand is worth something. But not that much.
Ilpholin doesn't intend to bid.
Butler on the other hand, does! Magtok is one of his favorite people. "500 gp sirs!" Butler says, waving his paddle enthusiastically.
...
Maybe Moff should explain to him. >>

[Andy - Willow]
Andy follows her along.
"Magtok is someone who allways suprises you."

"Your questions about my identity are hard to answer without you being more specific, especially since I share it, to some extent, with another...", he replies, shrugging. "As for why I bought you, I find you interesting, as does my soul-bound. Up until now, you haven't been a public figure, from what I've seen - no appearances, at least not publicized ones, no donations to any cause that get announced, not even an obvious use of power - yet you, when you do decide to come into the public eye, can get one of the most prominent people in the Nexus, who's also more powerful than most, to completely close this place for your event, and auction off one of his bodies for a day. I'm sure you can understand why we find that intriguing. And of course, it doesn't hurt that you're beautiful."

"I don't suppose they might have Black Shadows?" Naethalee half-states, half-queries, her voice a seducitve purr.
...neither has the slightest interest in the Tin Man.
