Yay, a post! And my posted too :P Just so you know, I wanna use the explosion as something later for first Alexi and his brother to talk about, then something discussed by Erik and Alexi, so it should have no effect on the auction. It's too far away to affect it, at least for today. It could be a reason to cancel it for the final day however, as a precaution :P

EDIT: Oh, and I like your post. The diary entry made me grin :P
