[b:486eed7f43]07/19/04[/b:486eed7f43] Sorry guys... I gotta do it. I can't let people come here thinking there's something. Seki will be back and to current owners you will get something for your money.

[b:486eed7f43]04/21/04[/b:486eed7f43] Hey guys... people have been asking about their Seki hatching. I'm really sorry the delay. sweatdrop I have everything set up, I just need to save them in gif form and animate them. Please note, they will not have status changes for a while. I am working on saving new files to make them easier to update for me and that I may pass onto Mikie so things will run faster. Sorry for the delay. I'll work on an item for all of you being so patient. ^^; Until then, if you like you may have your choice of a Seki toy free of charge... Though be aware, if you buy a custom phyxa plushie it might be a while for me to add that too... sweatdrop

[b:486eed7f43]04/12/04[/b:486eed7f43] Semi-hiatus possibly? sweatdrop Well, I got my comp back with a new graphics card... But this one is really old... So we're waiting to buy a new one and back my comp goes to get it installed. ^^; But I'll be here updating Seki best I can with this card. 3nodding

eh... I missed Easter didn't I? Well, Seki won't miss the fun. [/size:486eed7f43]

Late, but here. Please read the raffle rules. Thanks to Mikie for basically doing all the art for the event. ^^; lol ::hugs::


[b:486eed7f43]04/06/04[/b:486eed7f43] Sorry to everyone for the lack of updates. >.< I really wanted to work on Seki with this break from school, but my computer isn't cooperating. sweatdrop The graphics card is messed up I believe and we have to go and get a new one. Sorry, I can't pixel with my screen scrambled like this. sad I'm lucky that I can see well enough to type this. sweatdrop But I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. Mikie and I are planning on an Easter raffle later this week, so watch out for it! bleh.. I'm sorry things turned out this way. I'll work on something special for current owners for dealing with me once I get my computer fixed. sweatdrop

(lol, till we get a better image. ^^; That was drawn in 10 sec @_@ )</center>
Long ago, there was a group of people set on breeding the perfect pet. They toiled over the task until finally succeeded in creating a cute and practical pet, which they called Seki. Unfortunately, in exchange for their perfection, as time went by they proved to be too much to handle. People soon got annoyed by their high maintenance and began neglecting them until finally collectively they decided to abandon them in a rocky valley nearby. Since then, Seki have disappeared. The valley that they thought to be abandoned became known as the Valley of the Fallen for its tragic history. Recently, scientists have been funded to investigate this area. Because of my curiosity in the field of petrology, I was one of the volunteers. No Seki reminds could be detected anywhere in the area. The crew was beginning to believe it was nothing but local myth, but on our way home from a long day I tripped on a strangely colored rock. I dismissed it at first, but each day we’d find even more of these small strangely colored boulders. Curious, I snuck one home to study, but due to my lack of time with my work in the valley I was unable to study it adequately. I contacted my friend Mikie, who works on researching Lasri. She agreed to watch it for me at her adoption center until I could get back to it. But while I was gone something happened. I scolded her when I returned to find the rock had deep cracks on it; almost so much that it was split into three. I stayed over to study this incident a bit further after she claimed she had nothing to do with it. Within a day or so, as I was ready to strangle Mikie for ruining my research, the rock broken open fully and to our surprise a blob like creature smiled at us. Instead of strangling her, I let her keep the mysterious animal. The next day I returned to the Valley of the Fallen the to collect more samples expecting the same results, and so began the intensive study of what we know as Seki, pet rocks.

The Fallen

Seki

Different Types of Seki

Note About Eggs: Every month an egg resembling the birthstone of that month will be released. ^^ Because it's March, all the birthstones of the past month will be sold this month as well. 3nodding Garnet is the rarest because January is past. No more Garnet will be sold after this month. Smaller quantities might be sold of the other stone next month though. Keep an eye out for them. wink

From my research in myths about Seki kept in the local archives there are two confirmed forms:

<center>User Image</center>
Rock Egg User Image - From our study of Criton, rock eggs can take up to 3 days to a week before it shows signs of hatching. From what we can tell this is due to the thickness of the rock shell. Please be patient. It might sit there, but it is a pet rock…

Blob User Image - These may seem soft and cuddly, but they still carry characteristics of their rock form. Out of the hard rock shell egg they tend to be very curious and very hungry. Be sure to check on it often. It seems that if Seki blobs are left unattended for as an adaptation to survive their past neglect they revert back to their dormant rock stage. These don’’ hatch too easily, so there is no guarantee it will return back to a blob…

? – The last form is unknown and it is questionable on whether or not there are more forms after this third stage. There are many version of what they look like, but we’re still waiting for our current specimen to evolve to that stage. From what I’ve read on Seki, my hunch is that the care you provide for it and the things that you buy for it will determine what this stage will look like.


<center>User Image

Seki will be a lot of work, so please keep that in mind before getting one. They were, after all, abandoned for their high maintenance. Fortunately, my I have a couple of assistants to help you take of your pet. Only once or twice a week will you get an alert for your pet, and when you do a yellow box will highlight the light which tells you what your pet needs.

User Image

Lights:
Red (Food) - After your egg hatches it will be very hungry. Food is available for purchase in items section of this thread. Please check it out. ^^ Right now there is generic food. But depending on what you decide to feed your Seki later on might affect how it grows.

Orange (Comfort) - Sometimes your pet will desire a change in scenery or need a few items to make them more comfortable. A change of scenery hasn?t been known to happen often, but our experiments with Seki eating special food and treated differently tend to be upset if they?re in the rocky home we provide all Seki. Don?t worry about this option until these Seki are released.

Green (Sick) - The strange thing about Seki is that when they get ill they harden as if they were going back to their rock state. We?re not quite sure why this happens, but we have found something that helps. Special potions to heal them are available in the items section. If you?re Seki is sick treat it immediately! After a week of being untreated we?ve found they turn back into rocks. We?re working on a solution to bring them back, but it?s not guaranteed that it works?

Blue (Boredom) - A rock world is sometimes boring for a Seki. Sometimes it needs toys to play with other than other rocks and boulders. Don?t let your pet get sick and die of boredom! Items again are available a few posts down.

Purple (um.. Accidents) Yup? Even rocks have to do their business and sometimes my assistants need incentives to clean it for you. It costs only 5g to clean up. Please post in the thread if you?d like them to do so. ^^ Don?t let your Seki live in filth. O_o That stuff can build up?

Emotions:

User Image

1. Exclamation mark – These usually shows that something big has happened to your pet, good or bad. Watch out for it!
2. Sad face – Your pet is unhappy for some reason. Check the lights to see what you have to do to help it.
3. Sick face – Your pet is ill. At this stage it can be healed with a potion… Any further… well…
4. Happy face - ^_^ Your pet is very content. Good job! whee
5. Heart – All your hard work has paid off. Your Seki really loves you… I wonder what they’ll do in return…

<center>User Image</center>

This is my little brother -Kaze- so be nice. ^^ He's still young, but an aspiring artist. I told him he could help out with the shop. Once I teach him things he'll probably do a lot here. 3nodding


<center>User Image

All pets need food. ^^; Seki are no exception… But we are to believe that these food items not only give them nourishment, but also influence how they grow… You are what you eat. Or something like that. ^^; Not all of them do though, but some may.

User Image</center>
1. Sugar cubes – basic food, Seki have a sweet tooth ^^;
2. Cherry – sweet and tangy
3. Carrot – Vegetarian meal :nod:
4. Cheese – Feel the power…
5. Cake – Again, appealing to the sweet tooth. @_@
6. Muffin – Good provider of fiber 3nodding
7. Onigiri (rice ball) – Think we can get Kaze to make some sushi too? ^^
8. Pizza – I really don’t think this influences anything except a hunger for fast food x_x
9. Hamburger – I get the feeling here that I do with pizza. @_@
10. Orange Juice – Sweet and refreshing
11. Fish – You think all cats like fishy things? ^^
12. Dog Bone – My dog loves to her bone. Thought the Seki might too. whee

Phyxa Plushies

Plushie Types: 1(Feline), 2(Avian), 3(Lupine)

It can be any solid color! Customs will be later… I may make exceptions for current phyxa owners! Please check below for the types. If you would like one please include type and color!

Note – These are sold as a unique addition to our center, I’ve made phyxa plushies with permission from trufflepig. ^^ Since she’s letting me do this and phyxas are after all her creation, I’m giving her part of the profit to her. 3nodding So please support phyxa. ^^ Drop by the main thread and say hello, or visit the Phyxa Plushie Shop and buy a plushie for your sig!. whee (Both are in hiatus for obvious reasons sweatdrop )

Blurg plushies: Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Yellow, Purple.

They have different eye positions… They’ll appear like in the sample unless you request otherwise.

Blurgs are creations from the minishop… But Mikie, Jin, and I got too busy with breedables to take care of the shop adequately. I promised to bring them back if I made another shop, and here they are.

You can find the old shop here: Blurgs-R-Us

Although this is one of the nicer sections of Gaia there is still issues with people who are....not so nice. I have been picked to become this shop's security guard/bouncer. You mess with any one of the staff or friends of the staff and you'll mess with me.

I am a pretty nice and calm person but if you wanna mess with me or harass others that a big problem and why we have a section like this. More info about this section and how you can be put on it will be added as offences happen. But being you should know how to be nice and such you shouldn't have too many problems. But as we all know, stuff happens and well I'm here for that. ^^b
