"$50k! Well done to Mars L. Morand. (Does anyone know what L stands for?) Well then, well then. Time to progress to our tenth and final auction of the evening. After which there will be a spontaneous and improvised disco. After a while, the buffet will open. Please do not cut in line while waiting for food. The buffet table is serious business! Please remember to put on your shades as the discoball is quite reflective and may seriously impair your eyesight for at least a minute afterwards, unless proper eyewear is worn. Also, please refrain from performing the dance move known as 'the Molluck', as we are still cleaning up the mess from last week"

Bleezle sniffed deeply, "But I digress. The tenth auction is for... Barzantine Mines! The mining facility has a depth of at least 15 vertical miles and already has a few hundred Sligs and Mudokons that are digging for gems. Now, what shall we say for this. $15k?"

Flace put his hand up. "$15k!" Flace also put a sticker on Mars' hat which says 'This hat is fake'. He wondered how long it would take Mars to notice.
