[the nxt day, everyone spent the day just hanging out, lounging at the hotel, or went shopping n doing other touristy things. Soon it was almost time for the auction...]
Peepers: [sees Hater chatting with Wander at the roadside while enjoying ice cream n sidles nxt to him] Psst, sir! It's 4.45pm. We better hurry if we wanna make it to the auction to get tht u-knw-wat
Wander: (wave) Hey, Peeps. Wanna join us for ice cream?
Hater: Oh, right. I...gotta go do a thing, with Peepers, for a bit. (at Peepers) ;)
Peepers: Yeah, uh, we gotta make some, uh, last min thing with the new ship. U knw how it is
Wander: Oh, OK then, run along. Don't let me stop u :)
Hater: (wave) And thanks for the ice cream. (hurries away with Peepers)
Peepers: [hurries along too] Thank grob for his obliviousness
Hater: Heh, yeah. ^^;; But there are times he's smarter then he looks.
Peepers: Heh, I'll believe it wen I see it. C'mon, we've got 15 mins before the auction starts
Hater: (nod)
[the duo quickly made their way to the auction house, in which the owner's assistant led them to the basement where the auction is held]
Owner: Ah, here u are, so glad u could join us [inspects their special pass] Right, u can go hv a seat
Hater: :) (takes a seat with Peepers)
[soon the auction started, n ppl were bidding on a lot of things, including Hater's old ship which fetch a pretty good price frm a guy who was looking to hv a bad ass ship look for his rock band]
Auctioneer: N now we hv the Celestial Snow Globe, once owned by the opera singer Enaya who passed away tragically due to choking on a chicken bone during her 50th bday celebration. This was one of her prized possession donated by her estate. Base price at 5000 credits
Hater: :) This is it, C Peeps. (raises hand) 50,000!
[the crowd gasped]
Peepers: [hissed] Sir! Too much, too much!
Random person: 75,000
Hater: (frowned) 76,000!
Random Person #2: 80,000!
Hater: Uh... (worry)
Peepers: (facepalm) Ugh...
Auctioneer: 80K going once... 80K going twice...
Hater: ... 99,000 creds! Final offer!
??: 100,000 creds, final offer
Auctioneer: Sold! To the peacock lady for 100K!
Peepers: Peacock lady? [raised a brow as he turned to see a very beautiful peacock humanoid woman smiling smugly at Hater, who was all too familiar to the Skeletor]
Hater: :O... NO! (angry) No way!
Drizelda: Oh, fancy seeing u here, milord
Peepers: U know tht lady, sir?
Hater: From Grimm's choosing a partner thing, yes. :|
Drizelda: I didn't know u were interested in that old snow globe thing. Were u a fan of Enaya? (smirk)
Hater: It's not for me, it's... for someone else. And you're doing this on purpose! :|
Drizelda: For someone else? [gave a mock surprise gasp] Not for tht furball hussy, I hope? Wat would ur brother say, having an affair with his concubine?
Peepers: Concubine? Wat r u tal-- [his mouth was covered by Hater]
Hater: :| That doesn't point. And don't refer to Wander as a hussy! He's nothing like that! And that snow globe is pretty important to him, so fork it over!
Drizelda: No way, I bid for it fair n square, so it's mine. It's by a famous opera singer after all [walks off to collect the snow globe from the auctioneer]
Hater: ... (shoots his lightning) IT'S NOT FOR YOU!!
Drizelda: [managed to dodge the lightning, tho glared at him distastefully] Ugh, such a sore loser. I suppose that's the main reason ur brother is on the throne instead of u
Peepers: Sir, don't! Let's go collect our payment for the ship n go [noticing the security was ready to kick them out n the owner giving them the stink eye]
Hater: I'm not leaving without that snow globe! (angry) (teleports over to grab it for himself)
Drizelda: [stepped bk to let her bodyguards tackle him while she left with the snow globe thru the bk door]
Peepers: Sir! Sir, stop!! Calm dwn! [the security was soon onto them]
Hater: Let...go...OF ME!! (blasted them off and tried to head off after Drizselda)
Peepers: Sir, wait!! Umm... Eheheh, I'll just take tht ^^;; [yoinked the proceeds of the payment from the owner] Here's ur 30% [gave the owner his cut, then chases after Hater] Sir, wait up!
Drizelda: [had already turned a corner n got lost in the crowd outside]
Hater: Damn it, where did she go??
Peepers: [caught up with Hater] Sir! Sir! Wat is going on? Who exactly is she? Why is she getting ur boxers in a twist?
Hater: ... (sighs and explains the whole thing with Drizelda)
Peepers: Geez... N she's also currently at war with ur brother over tht courtship failure thing?
Hater: Yes...plus she got away with that snow globe... :(
Peepers: Well technically she did pay for it, so it's technically hers. I'm sure there's another globe like tht somewhere else tht we can find
Hater: But Wander wanted THAT snow globe... :( And... ;( (hits ground) Damn it...
Peepers: [sighed n patted his bk] C'mon, we better head bk before the gang wonders where we r
Hater: I guess so... (slowly gets up and walks with Peepers)
