George walked out in costume, grinning, and weilding his hammer as Thor, God of Thunder.

Ensign Nylen had been eager to volunteer for the auction, offering his services as emcee and auctioneer for the evening. It was either that or be auctioned off himself, and yeah. No thanks. He smoothed down his old-fashioned tuxedo and stepped up to the podium on the makeshift stage.

Grinning, he started the festivities. "Good evening, Enterprise, and welcome to our first annual Charity Date Auction! What a great turnout - on behalf of the recreation department, I'd like to thank you all for your support."

"Now let's get this evening started, shall we? Our first entrant needs no introduction - please welcome Lt. George Kirk! Let's start the bidding off at 100 credits, shall we?"

Guinan knew a bargain when she saw one. "300 credits," she called out, looking around to see if anyone was going to challenge her.

Paula

Re: Paula

[lt_paula]

Paula emerged from backstage when her name was called and sashayed across the stage as instructed, the fringe on her short, black flapper dress swaying as she walked. It was a simple enough costume, the dress, some heels, and just a little eyeliner and lipstick. Giving the auctioneer a playful smile and blowing him a kiss, she giggled when he suddenly turned tongue-tied. Perching carefully on a stool at center stage, Paula awaited the start of bidding.

[anon_crewperson]

He'd talked to her a few times in Sickbay, and once during lunch in the galley. They were friendly enough with each other that Geoff didn't feel too awkward raising his hand with an admiring glance down at her costume. "One hundred!"

[lt_hank]

Hank was practically drooling at her look. Damn his girlfriend was sexy. "Four hundred!"

Bones

[anon_crewperson]

[dctr_mccoy]

Damn.

At least he wasn't naked, like last year... but fuck, how did this sort of thing keep happening to him? Bones was pretty certain that other starships didn't have charity auctions where he could be cajoled with sex bribed persuaded into participating in these events.

It was all Jim's fault, really. And damn Chris Pine and his eyes, who had suggested this little charity event. But mostly Jim, who'd mumbled something one evening while they were showering, planted a kernel of an idea in McCoy's head about identical bodies and an impossible sexual position that burned in Bones' head to try... so to stay on Pine's good side, Bones agreed to this- whatever it was.

Standing here in his cowboy outfit, Bones only hoped it wasn't as bad as he thought it was gonna be, and he prayed to whatever gods were listening that whomever bought him was kind.

[erudite_actor]

Chris wasn't on until a little bit later, so he was sitting in the crowd and looking around, pleased that everyone was having such a good time so far.

And if he had a little business he wanted to attend to, well. It was for the good of the department, and damn but Bones looked amazing in that cowboy costume. Standing up, Chris cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted to be heard. "Two hundred fifty!"

[dctr_mccoy]

Bones looked out into the audience, squinting to see who made that bid. A slow, wide smile on his face as he saw Chris grinning back, a look that spoke of mischief and roguery.

Bones was very familiar with that grin. Giving a little nod, he let the smile on his face die as he tried hard to get back into character - dark, broody cowboy.

Spock

[anon_crewperson]

The first three had gone well, Ensign Nylen thought. He grinned, straightening his tie and stepping back up to the podium. “Everyone having fun so far?” Waiting for the crowd to quiet a little, he continued, glancing toward the wings and finding them conspicuously empty. There was a hushed conversation going on backstage which ended abruptly as the next entrant appeared. “Okay everyone, I’d like to hear a round of applause for our First Officer. Give it up for Commander Spock!” Nylen clapped enthusiastically, watching as someone pushed encouraged Spock out onto the stage.

Re: Spock

[cso_spock]

It took all of his practiced grace not to stumble. The cane helped his balance (just like Sybok said it would, but how could he have predicted this?), and next thing he knew he was standing at the center of the stage, one hand resting on the cane at his side and the other held squarely behind his back

[dctr_mccoy]

The effect of the costume took a while to actually catch up with Bones, sitting at one of the tables nursing his drink. It seemed so natural to see the commander up there looking so fucking regal and shit. Wasn't fair, really.

Maybe it was the cowboy get-up he was wearing, but Leonard felt like getting some trouble started. "Two hundred," he called out with a smirk.

[its_uhura]

The sight of Spock fumbling with the elaborate cravat had been endearing, but Nyota had to admit the finished costume was... impressive. She adjusted the bandanna that went with her pirate costume, shooting a mischievous grin at Leo when she heard him call out.

"Three hundred!" she countered, one hand on her hip.

Chris Pine

[anon_crewperson]

Nylen threw a grateful glance at the next victim prey entrant. If Chris hadn't offered to switch with him, he'd be the one on the block right now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, direct from the year 2010, please welcome Chris Pine!" Nylen gave him a thumbs up as he stepped out on stage.

[erudite_actor]

Chris had been pleased when Spock had agreed to give him the opportunity to audition, as it were, for the vacant recreation director post by planning a fundraiser for the department. He’d presented the proposal for a date auction after careful thought, surprised when it was approved after only one lengthy question and answer session. His only problem with the plan? It was going to be fun, and he wanted to play participate rather than just host. Finding someone who wanted just the opposite had been perfect.

Raking his fingers through his hair one last time, he grinned as he sauntered out on stage. Chris scanned the crowd before leaning against the stool. It wasn’t quite the hood of a car, but it would do.

[joanna_mccoy]

Jo looked Chris up and down. She probably wouldn't win him, she had a few others she was intending to bid seriously on, but it'd be fun to raise Chris' price a bit. "Two hundred!"

[outcastprince]

Sybok didn't exactly have a plan for his credits, and in the absence of plans, emotions ruled. Not that he had any problem with that.

"Three hundred!" he called out from by the punch bowl, swirling a glass of foamy orange soda.
