Please don't be mad, it was a lot of money for the cause
and he kinda snuck in there at the last second
and we were hoping these other people would outbid him
and they almost did
and look at how much that is!
That's more than the next two lowest combined!
I think it's a record! Maybe.
So that means 8,266 coins & wall murals (Edensphere maps) for the Hatchery for newborn stuff, 4,960 coins towards bridge repair & all that, & 3,306 coins for the Watch!
Feel free to use this space to arrange times & dates for your little get-togethers~ Whether you're looking for a friend or a "friend," just remember to have fun! New Year's is about new chances & all, right? ♥
[[OOC: Hopefully we got all that right - IM/e-mail/PM/plurk me if you think something's not accurate! For posterity, I'm noting that all of the prank bids were made with the permission of the player of the character who "won" the bid, so have fun with that! XD ]]
