[Break has a plan. The plan is to use the date auction to get a couple choice ladies alone. .... In order to show them he's not actually an evil freak.

Well. He's not afraid to try this plan with Rukia, at least. With Tonks... he hesitates. Because she's a bit scary, in his experience.

But what the hell? How much does he have to lose?

...Probably best not to think about it.]

Forty ivories!

She is worth more than that, I believe.

[ apparently, shirley's goal is to see how much money she make people spend. awful. but hilarious. ]

[Wait a minute, he hasn't heard that voice in awhile.]

Ghost-san! I'd no idea you were back!

...

And I'm certain she is, but where's the fun without a gradual build up of tension?

[...Break, this is supposed to show Tonks you aren't creepy.]

I thought I might be too old for you.

And I am the terrible one?

That was only an unfortunate rumor, I assure you!

[That you kinda started. Or something. ONE POORLY PHRASEd SENTENCE AND HE'S BEEN PAYING FOR IT FOR MONTHS. Give him a bone here, Tonks.]

I'll be sure to show the lady a good time!

[ What's your idea of a good time, Xerxes?

Tonks is about to address Shirley and Xerxes both when she hears the familiar BANG! of apparition! She turns her head. Her arm shoots up. ]

Remus!

[ She's the only woman in the room with long, plum-colored hair. Tonks will be easy to spot.

The bid is up to forty ivories, Remus. What will you do? ]

[Given that he hasn't heard the last bid, he'll hope it's not too late already, and interrupt the bidding when simultaneously to remember probabilities and channel Sirius. For now he's working his way through the crowd toward her, and greets her with:]

For whom are you too old?

[ooc: Let's pretend it all happened fast enough that he could have heard that somehow; I can't help meself.]

[ Oh... Oh, bugger. It's Xerxes fault! You don't forget statements like ' I've got little girls arriving at any moment to spend the night.' ]

Xerxes Break bid forties ivories.

[ That's who. ]

(( OOC: (yay) ))

[ Tonks approaches Remus. She loops one arm around his. She hopes he wins the bid. ]

[Lupin is not completely oblivious to Anatole's social calendar. He knew there was another confounded dating auction going on.

He'd just not kept track of it being tonight.

Thus he was doing paperwork at the dojo-clinic paperwork; it had very nearly eclipsed all other work, and indeed time off, but escaping to the dojo to do it was sort of like taking a break-when the dragonfly patronus sailed out from under a doorpanel to flutter before his nose.

Blinking, he leaned back in the chair to uncross his eyes and look at it.]

[ The Patronus flaps its wings furiously in front of Remus. ]

Merlin's signed me up for the date auction. Help! Please.

[He's instantly on his feet and on his way to the door. Pausing only to check his pockets. How many ivories does he have…? Probably not enough but when Tonks asks for help, he'll fight dirty.

Now if only he could remember where the auction is.

Getting outside the dojo beyond the wards to apparate would take extra time. So (whatcha make of this, Tonks?) he goes to the emergency portkey connecting the dojo and the Clinic.

Then to his clinic office, and yes, there's the piece of paper Scar had given him when he'd asked for his help with… that project. It has the address.

And finally he apparates straight to the auction. The sound of his arrival causes several people to drop their crudités.]
