Helena District Naming Auction

[Mirtok 2853]

*Bells toll throughout the city, signalling the citizens of Helena to gather inside Varoche Hall. As the denizens adorned in various colors and fabrics filter into the stand seating, the Mayor waits patiently at his desk centered in the back of the room. His slightly elevated position allows him to look over the peoples of the city. He is reminded of the spontaneous camaraderie exhibited by his fellow Man during the tragedy of the Great Helena Fires. His eyes drift away in thought for a moment while the last of those in attendance take their seat. A the face of a life lost in selfless service flashes in his head before he snaps back to reality- ready to address the congregation . . .

 

“My fellow citizens of Helena.

 

We are gathered here today to conduct an auction as a means of raising money towards the reconstruction efforts of the city. We also aim to appropriate funding towards social relief and economic uplift programs that would directly benefit the everyday person. In the wake of the fiery maelstrom that decimated the Western districts of our great city, we are in the unique position to pay tribute to benevolent philanthropists that would help bring prosperity to those without. The districts of Wheezer way and Gambino lane have been consumed by fire- in their place will stand two new zones with new names and considerably improved living conditions.

 

For the first unnamed district -by executive edict of the Lord Mayor- it shall be dedicated to a brave soul who was lost in the fire. Risking everything to ensure their fellow citizens were rescued from the all consuming flames, this individual paid the ultimate price with valiant disregard for their own life. As such, d’Amaury Court will become the official name of one of the two new districts.

 

As for the second unnamed district, the new name shall be decided by highest bidder on auction- here. To all those interested in leaving their permanent mark on the Ruby of the Empire, I would urge you now to commit your funds to a truly unique legacy piece. Bidding will open to the floor starting at 10,000 minas.”

*The Lord Mayor would then begin spouting absolute gibberish, awaiting bids . . .

 

((TLDR: We are auctioning off the naming rights to an entire district of the city. Post your bids here if you wish to try and gobble up this once in a lifetime opportunity. Bidding will close on Monday, 8pm EST.))

"I would bid to name it something of my family or of Curon, but I bet that it'll be renamed to something else if another fire burns it down." The old man snickered to himself as he read the missive from his home.

"Devereux Drive? Othan Avenue? Curon Circleway?"

"Sad they would spend so much mina naming a district rather than donating it to the poor or the Pontiff to fairly distribute it to the poor throughout the realm." Said Boniface.

“What if this is to raise money for charity for resettling and enriching the people who lost their homes in the fire” Says Corporal Hinweiser to the priest who spends all his time complaining instead of actually helping people or ministering at all

“Sad that you would spend so much time complaining when you could be working with the poor souls of the realm.” Elene would retort!

Alexander shows up to the hall, a bit late to the party, as he founds that his sister and father had already been bidding. He swiftly exited with Daniel, his brother, as they both decided that it was up to their dad and sibling.
