Welcome to the ITL May Event! It will open on the 12th of May!
Brought to you by AvynWing, with art work for this one by Shosetsu!

It is with great Pride that we announce that we will be giving you the great pleasure of becoming the proud owner of a limited number of Elf Pirate ITL pets!

Yes! Its true! You’re eyes are not deceiving you!

We are auctioning off, Prompt saleing, raffling, Bump contesting, random numbering ((Yes, Avy invents words)) the crew of Caspian’s ship! Caspian being ‘The Pirate King’ from a past Coursier auction.

These pets are single stage Coursier pets, they are fully role-play-able, in fact are Role-Play mandatory as they are having a lot of work put into them, but the rp here is fun! So this shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing!

There will be lots of chances to get one of these pets; hopefully there will be something everyone will enjoy!

There will be –

A Prompt Sale - A special officer for 25k
A Raffle - A crew member for 12k
A Bump Contest - A crew member for free!
A Random Number Game - A crew member for free!
And an Auction! - Who knows what he'll go for!
Lots of fun you see!

The prices for this event are considerably lower than Coursiers can usually be obtained for, ((the custom price usually being 50k – 150k depending on the complexity)) so this is a good opportunity to go for one! With three being given away for no cost at all! So I really hope lots of you will try out!

Avy will be responsible for most of the goings on in this event to give Chai and Sho a chance to focus on their school work, and in Chai’s case, exams! So the best of luck to them both!

Details of the events and prices and the like will come in the following posts! Thank you very much guys!

The pets for Sale in this event are all male, just to clear up this is because we are selling pirates, and it was generally concidered unlucky to have women on ships!
Later Sales will almost cirtainly have female pets! So if there isnt one here that catches your fancy please follow the link to the main shop and come talk with us anyway! <3

Avyn is online a lot of the time! So if you have any queries about this event at all, feel free to PM her about them! She will usually know the answer, but if not she will find out from either Sho or Chai! <3

[x]All lineart is original and unique past the Undera Stage, each type of Undera will have one of each gender that when the reach a higher stage they will differentiate from each other.If you buy a flatsale pet that appears the same as someone else’s it is likely that they have the same variety with a different gender and the two will change as they grow.

[x]Always stick to the Gaia TOS, meaning keeping things below PG-13. Respect peoples opinions and don't say they have incorrect views on things.

[x]Don’t take IC comments to heart, Roleplay is Roleplay meaning the person doesn't hold the same views in real life.

How can I get one?
By bidding in the auction.

Can I pay in instalments?
No. Only bid what you have.

Can I Bid with items and/or Donation letters?
Yes if it has been agreed with one of the staff. The Item’s lowest price guide (most likely 'Teh Guide' will be used) value will be deducted from the overall cost.

Where do I post my RP posts?
Once you win a Courtier you will be invited to the ITL guild where you can RP and keep a character journal.

Can I bid on someone else’s behalf?
Yes, as long as they understand the RP requirements of this shop.

Will my Coursier Grow?
These pets are already at the adult stage and will not grow unless we decide to give out a surprise stage. However they will be mature enough to be roleplayed without a guardian and they will also be allowed to breed if you wish it.

If my pet gets into a relationship, what kind are allowed?
To Clarify, both homosexual [male x male, female x female] and heterosexual [male x female] relationships are welcome in ITL.

I have a question that isn’t on this post. What do I do?
Post it on the thread. Or in this case, if you feel the need, to Avy. We’ll be sure to get back to you.

Setting the Scene.
About the Pirate King and Life on His Ship.
This should help you write a prompt entry.

The pirates of the ‘Hades’ were a notorious bunch, or so the rumours said!
The men who served directly under the pirate king! The most notorious elf to ever sail the seas!
No one knew his origin, but all feared his name, ‘Caspian Aurelius’ and his ship’s black sails struck fear into men’s hearts
“The Madness of Hades” Men would say, is a ship wrenched up from Hell itself with a crew of murderous barbaric outlaws who would as soon a kill each other as they would steal lie and cheat a complete stranger, these men didn’t have hearts! They cared only for wealth and revelled in death and pain.

Things however were not quite this dark on the well cared for decks of the ‘Hades’. The rumours were encouraged actively, it was easier, and ultimately more humane if the citizens of towns fled at the sight of their ship rather than standing to fight them, it saved lives and made things easier for the pirate king and his crew.

They had been together a long time; elves didn’t really have to worry about death after all, and since Caspian had taken his place as Captain his men had been with him, like a bizarre inversion of Robin Hood and his merry men.

They did pillage, they were pirates after all, and they were thieving scoundrels, but the spared as many lives as they could, and never violated others bodily, or caused undue damage to other peoples property. Why tell people that though? It was easier to let rumours do most of your job for you!

The captain wasn’t the only well known figure on the ship however, his pet, an errant flamingo was notorious among the crew, finding its biggest delight in tormenting the captain and his crew, believe you me you know about it when a flamingo tries to perch on your shoulder… Zaelia is in the habit of pouncing on the men, stealing their food, running at people, squawking with the intent of making the crew jump, and even sometimes trying to sneak a drink of rum. She is a little monster, but for some reason Caspian just can’t bring himself to part with the stupid bird.

The final and newest person on the ship, who cannot really be described as a crew man, is Macy Tresquax, Caspian’s chosen partner, and as of their arrival back in the labyrinth, his fiancé. Macy is a lively, and sometimes haughty young man who seems to care a lot of the pirate king, enough to give him the respect he gives to few others, he felt very out of place and nervous when he first went aboard the ship, but slowly began to warm to the crew and befriended a fair few of them. There was also that one time when he got very drunk in the galley…

Recent events have caused a turbulent time for the captain and his crew, Caspian himself was captured quiet recently, with the intent of being put to death, but the notorious man escaped, and his crew, meeting him at an appointed place were able to rescue him, but the chase before hand, with the “Redemption” hot on their tail for three days why quite dramatic! Finally though, obviously, the Hades was boarded, and guns and swords were drawn, before the Naval captain managed to get his hands on Macy, and subdue the Pirate King and his crew…

Thankfully this has passed, and though word went out that Caspian had been destroyed, this was not however, the case.

Prompt Response Contest!

For a chance to win one of these (see below) Coursier Pirates, you will need to write something for Avy to read as she will be judging the entries herself!

These pets will be available to purchase for 25k ((that’s 25000 gold)) by the person who writes the response that seems to best fit that character they have entered for, and the one that seems to have had the most effort put into it!

Try your best guys! They are worth it!

25k is half of the lowest possible price for a coursier Custom, so this is a very good price!

These are the young men that you will be able to enter for!

User Image

The Ships Surgeon.
~ A caring soul who looks after the well being of the crew and sees’s the world through observant eyes.
He is Calm and knowledgeable.

User Image

(Colouring by Ryugen)
.The Navigator.
~ A bright fellow who keeps the ship on the right path and keeps and eye on things.
He is self confident and intelligent.

User Image

.The Bo’ Sun.
~ The man who knows the rules and keeps the errant crew in check.
He is strong willed and just.

User Image

.The Quarter Master.
~ He keeps stock of the funds and the stores, a trustworthy man.
He is organised and honest.

User Image

(colouring by Ryugen)
.The Pilot.
~ A man with a steady hand and a steady heart. He keeps the ship steady with his hand on the tiller through all kinds of weather.
He is brave and good humoured.

This is what you need to put into your prompt entry.

Avy wants to see –

~ A Name Included.
~ A Reason Why The Coursier Became A Pirate.
~ His Hopes And Dreams.
~ Feelings regarding either ‘The Captain – Caspian’ ‘The Captains Partner – Macy’ or ‘The Captains Pet – Zaelia the Flamingo’

The post before this one, the setting the scene post should be some help to you in this contest, as it gives you some idea of what the characters are like, as I know that this sort of writing can be difficult.
I will be judging mostly on writing style and effort, so don’t worry if the content seems a little off to you! Everyone will view the people on the ship differently! So there is no need to worry.

The dealine for entries will be the 26th of May, with winners announced the next day! So best of luck!

Brief Rules and information.
~ Entry into this contest is free.
~ You can post only ONE entry per pirate!
~ You may enter up to once for each of them. (So that’s five responses in total)
~ The Winner of each pet will then be required to pay the 25k for that pet.
~ If you wish to pull out, please let us know –before– the winner is drawn.
~ Avy will try to give people the pirate they entered for, but if there is more than one entry for each pirate, and an entrant for one fits another entry better than the one they tried for, and Avy thinks they deserve to win said other pirate, that might be the way things turn out.

This is the form you fill in for the entry.
PM this to JarethMule Please.

For this contests you do pretty well exactly what it says on the tin, you bump! And the person with the most bumps at the end of it is the winner!

Or in the case of this particular even, the top two bumpers will win one of these two lovely guys!

He is hard working and cheerful

User Image

The Cabin Boy
~A young man who runs the errands!
He is Helpful and swift of foot.
[And if you call him Rodger we will let Jareth feed you to the Bog Monsters! Be warned! They smell real bad!]

The person with the most bumps for each one gets their choice of the two pets we have up for grabs!

These pets are up for grabs, for free!

The thread for the bump contest will possibly be placed in the guild so we can remove it when its finished with, or on a separate thread, but regardless, the link will be placed

here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=8944353#111413875

Like the rest of the events here the bumping will start on the 12th and go on until 26th, though this is a preliminary date and may still change! Final revisions will be made two days before the events start!

On each bump you will be required to have!

And the Pirate which you are bumping for! Like this!.
