@Quoth the Raven: Of course. You still possess the highest bid by a fair margin.
If it's not too much trouble for you, I am curious to see a list of the items you're offering. ;o

okios - That free advertising in your signature. LOL
Thanks. C;

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in this auction so far. It means a lot to me.
@Quoth the Raven: I wouldn't wish that fate upon anyone. LOL
Though with people bidding items, I feel for anyone having to trade that many items.

You hear a gentle rap at the door and answer promptly, expecting an individual of great import. Before you stands an unimpressive figure. Well-dressed if nothing else, and holding an unmarked briefcase in one gloved hand. As you search the face out of habit, you quickly realize there are no features, or rather your vision is so skewed upon looking that you're unable to make any out.

The man brushes past you and seems to gaze out over your humble abode, glancing at pictures on the wall, furniture nestled in modest living quarters, and even to what Netflix is playing on your computer. Your pet, a stalwart companion, dashes off at the sight of whatever strange guest has visited their master.

Without any conversation, the man chooses to sit in front of an empty space that he can set the briefcase. His movements are precise, you notice. As if every step and action is carefully calculated to result in little to no energy being expended. This comes off as rigid. Lifeless, even. You take a hesitant seat across from him and the clock ticks loudly in the awkward silence.

As you open your mouth to speak, he presses a finger to his lips. No sound comes out, but the message is clear. You hear a series of clicks as his fingers glide across the numerous locks securing the briefcase tightly shut. It pops open, then, and he takes out a simple, disappointing slip of paper. He slides it across the table to you and gestures to it, hand suspended in air, waiting for you to read it.

You swallow and take a look. It reads: 'Do you desire the inner workings of your imagination made in perceived reality?' That is all.

You nod, not quite understanding what it is you're being asked, but curiosity often gets the better of us. Especially in times of want.

You are given a second and final slip. It reads: 'Wage for your creation. Bid and it shall be yours. Lose, and it will fail to exist.'

The song is pretty catchy. While I didn't like it at first, it grew on me. The animation is amazing though.
The rap with Akali and Evelynn is my favorite part.

@Zephyira: Ah, post-apocalyptic is a very cool genre!

I love to dabble in it when I write and actually, hm, I read a book recently called Stormdancer. It's part one of a trilogy known as the Lotus War, written by Jay Kristoff. You might be interested as I really enjoyed it. ;o

Your life sounds quite busy, but with a lot of creative outlets at least. I'm curious about your decals as a certain someone in my life has an interest in stickers. C;
