Inside...

In the Le Grand Rex theatre, many guests take their seats, speaking with other guests at the event as they wait for the auction to start. Some guests look around at the doors to leave to see men in olive and black military-grade clothing with rifles in their hands, specifically, STB-556s.

Suddenly, the lights abruptly go out, and the lights on the stage turn on, catching the audience's attention. Walking on the stage, the man in charge reveals himself to the audience, earning a round of applause from the buyers. Many of them smile while others watch in interest, curious to hear what he has to say.

Manager: "Welcome! Welcome to the Spiders' monthly auction in Paris. It is my solemn duty, to lend tonight's buyers their gifts from here's auction. Oh, and who am I to forget I'm happy to say that the money you lend us will be nothing short of dissatisfaction. Tonight's special. We have many cuties, sexy ladies and tasty ones for you all...I'm sure you got your napkins, huh?"

Some audience members laugh while others pay attention. The manager walks to the side of the stage, where he whistles to the side, calling out someone. Moving to the stage is a member of the Spiders holding the arm of a young man in a pair of boxers, thigh-highs and silver earrings.

Buyer: "Well, well, well, what have we got here?"

Buyer 2: "Handsome, fucker..."

The manager grins as he looks at the crowd and clears his throat.

Manager: "Any bets?"

American Buyer 2: "I'll take him for 2,000 US dollars!"

Manager: "2,000! Ok, quite a start."

American Buyer: "I can do better! 100,000 US dollars!"

Chinese Buyer: "Yeah?! 3 million yuan!

Hungarian Buyer: "A million euros!"

Manager: "A million. Ok! Going once? Going twice?"

Silence fills the audience and the manager claps his hands together, chuckling and coming to a conclusion.

Manager: "Sold! To the gentlemen with a million euros."

The crowd applauds as the buyer smiles, pleased with his purchase.

Hungarian Buyer: "I'll have him as a takeaway, please!"

Manager: "Alright. Moving on now."

Whistling to the side of the stage, another Spider member walks out, holding a woman in green lingerie. She has dark skin, dark brown hair and grey eyes. In the far back of the crowd, a man whistles before standing.

British Buyer: "4 million pounds, mate!"

British Buyer 2: "Sorry. How about 5 million?"

Chinese Buyer: "Don't listen to her! How about I give you 36 million yuan?"

Silence fills the room once again. The manager smiles before looking around, seeing if anyone will bid higher than the man who offered 36 million yuan.

Manager: "Going once? Going twice?"

Silence.

Manager: "No? Very well then. Sold! To the Chinese lady in the dark dress."

The buyer smiles as the woman is taken to the back of the stage, ready to be given to her at the end of the auction. The manager smiles before clearing his throat.
