Valkyrie booted the next girl forward with a lazy flick of her wrist. ”Stand on the spot, woman, and be quick about it,” she said tersely before stepping away from Pari and leaving Inga to put her in the correct place. The marauder had no patience for meek wolves. They made for easy captives but their subservient nature irked her for some reason. She wanted someone with a little fire; a little life so there was a little parry and riposte to their relationship. But to each their own. Some liked them broken in.

She yawned then swept a hawkish gaze across her surroundings. ”The next auction is about to begin!” Without another word she sank to her haunches in the shade of the great willow that marked the edge of her stall.

”Talk”

He had been curious about this market that was being held and seeing as though several of his siblings had already been here bidding on things he had decided that he probibly should look into what was being bid on. He had a few things to offer and was mostly looking for someone to fill the womanly role within his children’s lives. Their mother had been killed during a fight protecting the children and though he was doing a decent job as is, he couldn’t provide what a female could.

Pink gaze caught site of the women in charge of the auctions right before she called that bidding would soon begin. Moving forward he would get closer and for a few moments eye the female who was up for auction next. She was easy on the eyes and already held some scars and he also didn’t see much fight from her so far.

So he would approach and sit to wait to hear the beginning bid.

Since following the pretty girl's scent to the slave market, Jupiter had wholeheartedly embraced the auctioning thing. His only regret was that he hadn't arrived sooner and thus had missed out on quite a few already. The next one for sale was a mid-sized, heavily scarred woman. Though she appeared timid and likely wouldn't be a good salesperson for his little side hustle, with a little conditioning he thought he might be able to teach her to pull a cart. He'd bid on her too. Jupiter's lazy gaze roved over the other potential bidder. His gaze was unabashed as he openly sized up the other male. After a beat it moved back to the auctioneer. Let the bidding begin; he was ready. "Jupiter"   "Amadeus" ”You”

Gunther made his way forward at one he saw that had caught his eye. She was meek and he saw it as useful. Especially if he wanted to start a pack one day. Though of course first he'd need to start as a band. His competitors would likely be fierce though seeing as this woman was already broken in. Nonetheless he stepped forward.

He seated himself silently with his eyes on his prize. There was already two others here but he ignored them for now. He may still be a kid but he was big enough to at least be taken seriously, hopefully anyway. "How much for this one ma'am?" had figure it out then if it didn't work out he could just leave. All he knew was hunting and fighting so he couldn't really offer too much but he could try.

 

She waited until a trio of wolves stood at the ready. Though one was a child she could consider him so long as his offers were serious. If he should win, should she find out he was messing with her then she would just capture him and sell him. She would find a way to come out on top no matter what.

"Alright," she said at last. "It is time. I will start the bidding off at two fox pelts. Who will match it?" Valkyrie's gaze roved over each in turn, her tail flipping over her paws as she settled in for another round of moderating.

OOC: The timed auction starts now! Rules are simple. There is no post order, bids can be anything that is conceivably worth more than the last (and you can just add on to items already offered if you want), auction automatically closes three days from the last post, anyone can pop in or drop out at any time. Items do NOT have to present! There will be a three day IC grace period for buyers to gather items and present them to Valkyrie (no real thread necessary unless you want one).

He waited as she stated her beginning price and eyed the girl he was about to bid on. Honestly he kind of felt sorry for her. He would need to be pretty quick though if he wanted to set the price to beat. Especially if he could figure out his competitors quicker. Maybe he could make the others bid more than they were worth and pull out last minute. After all a broken slave wasnt worth too much if you were looking for warriors and hunters to start a band with. He looked back to valkyrie with pumpkin eyes determined. His first bid would be higher than what valkyrie asked for and worth more in his own mind. "A deer pelt and two trout. Both in tact and not a piece of meat touched yet." a smirk placed itself on his lips as he looked at the others. He'd love to see what they offered now. They were pack wolves and every resource that they gave up was a resource that they deprived their pack over the coming winter.

Rapture had his own stash separate from the pack’s. Things he could bid with that would not hurt Ashen in anyway, plus it was easy for the skilled hunter to get what he needed if he bid more then what he had. His pink gaze eyes the women on the block as the starting bid was announced. Surely she was worth more then that. Then his pink gaze would look to the very young male as he placed his bid, gaze narrowing a bit at the boy before returning to the women.

”Two deer pelts and one fresh killed deer,” He stated.

This kid wasn’t going to beat a skilled hunter. The deer would be easy enough for him to kill. If he needed to go bigger, then he certainly could. He did not intend to back out, and he had a lot to offer.

He watched the girl. She was really placid and compliant. Seriously did the woman think she was really worth that much? Definitely not but it was worth it to him to sucker these bidders out of their shit. "seven fish of various species, three birds, one fox pelt, a rabbit, a coyote pelt, and a jaguar skin. With the jaguar in tact and for your use however you want to use the body." a smirk painted his lips as he looked back to the Male that had bid before him. He obviously had to top him if he wanted the girl. And if he couldn't then it seemed it was just him and the blue marked boy.

Ooc:
Gunther is offering
X1 jaguar skinned but in tact
X1 jaguar pelt
X1 coyote pelt
X1 fox pelt
X1 rabbit with skin and meat intact
X3 salmon
X2 trout
X1 bass
X3 pheasants

Jupiter frowned thoughtfully as the other two traded bids. Now things were getting interesting. He was going to have to decide what of his that he liked - really liked - that he was willing to part with. The first portion of his bid would be easy, things he would have to work to get but wouldn't hurt him to give away, like food and warm fuzzy things. "I can do two deer with antlers and all that, plus two winter fox pelts." As for the rest of his bid...This was where it started to hurt. He would be sad to see these items go. "And two jugs of mead."

Rosemary sauntered toward the auction, pressing momentarily against his brother’s shoulder. “Need help brother?” He purred. In truth he enjoyed these auctions, he enjoyed raising his bids and watching others squirm as they struggled to raise their bids. “I add to my brother’s offer; one adult reindeer…” He paused for effect, scanning the young auctioneers. “With a full white pelt, non-albinoid of course.” He purred. “I also offer two wooden spears and the pelt and talons of a snowy owl.” He flicked his tail, flashing his gilded fangs at the others, waiting for them to try and raise his offer. His brother certainly had good taste; the woman had a Klein look to her and would no doubt make an excellent bed warmer. speaking Thinking  you

There was a bit of back and forth that Valkyrie watched with the heavy, satisfied eyes typical of a sunbathing cat with a full belly. The bids slowly ticked upwards until none wished to climb higher. It was decided. The Ashen males were victorious.

”Sold,” Valkyrie purred before nodding to Rapture and Rosemary. ”I expect payment in no more than three days time. Less, certainly, but no more,” she cautioned, ”Or the wilting flower stays with me and goes to market elsewhere.” If she couldn't sell her here she would sell her outside Boreas. Someone, somewhere would see value in a broken toy.
