The Golden Tether

:When:
March 17th - 5PM FST - Stage

:What:
Eventhough the island never gets that cold - let's forget for a second that the everlasting winter was a thing, shall we - the arrival of spring is a reason enough to celebrate. It is also the opportunity to engage in some spring cleaning. The Spring Auction, hosted by handler Biers, is an opportunity to do both: for patrons to celebrate and for the Golden Tether to clean out stock. Patrons are invited to come enjoy a menu of seasonal dishes and drinks, and bid on one of the many slaves that will be trotted onto the stage.

:Who:
This event is open for patrons, and slaves both owned and unowned.

:The Auction:
Money Purse Required!
Players who put their character up for auction are required to pick a category, and match their slave's outfit:
- Green outfit - Apple hairpin - Auction for one rental
- Yellow outfit - Banana hairpin - Auction for five rentals
- Black outfit - Grapes hairpin - Auction for ownership
- Red outfit - Cherry hairpin - Auction for one rental of a virgin slave - The Tether does not expect the slave's virginity to remain intact.

Each slave will introduce themselves by making an opening post. Biers will then open the bidding for fifteen minutes. Keep posts short to ensure that bidding goes fast. There will be a local emit when three minutes remain on the timer. When the fifteen minutes are up, the highest bid before the final emit will win the auction.
