In between two rather unremarkable hills lies a garden, surrounded by high hedges and an old weathered fence. A rickety gate, painted a peeling purple marks the only entrance in or out and holds a faded sign that reads 'Bush Babies' in big black letters. As you open the gate it squeaks horribly, causing the shrubbery around you to shudder. A scantly clad girl appears from behind the big, looking startled by your entrance.
"Oh, hello!" she calls, waving to you, pruning shears in hand. "How may I help you?"

"A Bush Baby is a child that grows from well...a bush! Not just any bush, for the bushes move and eat and make sounds! Whenever a bush eats, the baby within begins to grow characteristics and features related to the food, creating new species! When a bush doesn't eat however, the baby merely takes on characteristics and features of the bush itself."

"Though they may look like children, when a Bush Baby is born they are very much grown and even capable of normal speech! But sadly...they cannot mate, for such small frames would not allow the process! Yet, if they eat a growth cake, a pastry with magical properties, they will become full sized adults, fully capable of breeding!"

"However, as this adult form is not a form natural to Bush Babies, they give birth to children, rather than seeds. This is where having latent traits in your Bush Baby comes in handy for breeding! Here's a chart of current Bush Baby breeds!"

"You can own an unlimited number of Bush Babies, but please be courteous in not buying them too frequently to give others a chance."

The price of growth cakes has been raised to 5000 gold. I know it's steep, but I'm just putting too much time and effort into these for only 300. I've also raised the price of breeding stalls to 3000 (1500 from each owner) to help us keep from over-populating.

To RP, go here: ~Bush Babies Garden~

I'd like to introduce the new specialty series, Birthday Babies! ^_^ These seeds are only given to good friends and shop stalkers! They're uber rare of course, and because of this, they can only mate with other Birthday Babies. Though the seeds may all look alike, each is individual once it hatches! But what's inside at the end, is a surprise! whee These do not count towards the three first gen limit.

Breeding is now open as there are now adults! ^_^ And...uh...there's a PG-13 limit on all roleplay... *blush*

Selling Information

Bush Babies go on sale only during a flatsale, an auction or the occational raffle. Custom seeds are sold or given out only during special events. Information on flatsales/auctions/raffles will be given a few days in advance.

Do not post your order for a Bush Baby until after I declare the Flatsale/Auction/Raffle to be open. Please be considerate and buy only one for yourself OR one for a friend as there is a limited amount available per flatsale. Co-owning is allowed.

Bush Babies cost 3k in a flatsale. (Series five and six seeds will not be sold in flatsales.)

Bush Babies autobuy at a sellers choice in an auction and have a starting bid of 3k gold.

Customs are sold in auctions, given out randomly or during events, or are traded for items or pets. Pet trades happen only once a month with only one pet store and only if I approve it. All accepted items for a custom are very high in price. This keeps everyone from doing it, obviously.

Current Items for Custom List:
Angelic Scarf
Nitemare Scarf
December Letter

DO NOT PM ME ABOUT BUYING A BUSH BABY! YOU WILL BE IGNORED!

Questions on Growth

How long does a Bush Baby stay a seed?
I go to college and have two shops...it varies for now.

User Image

How do I know if I'm getting a male or female?
If buying in a flatsale, the sex is random, whereas in an auction you may choose the sex. You can tell wether or not the child will be male or female by the bush it grows in. Female bushes wear bows. Male bushes wear shoes. Is this sexist? Probably, but it looks better than tacking big sex signs on them.

User ImageUser Image

How long before a Bush Baby comes out of his/her bush?
Up to two weeks or more depending on how busy I am, during which you may feed your bush food. A child cannot be fed bush food, so if you do not feed your bush, you will have a Normal Bush Baby.

How does a Bush Baby become an adult?
To bring your Bush Baby into adulthood, feed him/her a Growth Cake if they are available. Bush Babies bought before Halloween 2005 will be automatically moved to adulthood.

How long does it take for a Bush Baby to become an adult?
After eating the cake, two to six weeks or more depending on how busy I am, during which you may buy items for your baby to wear as an adult. An adult cannot equip items after becoming an adult.

This is taking a long time...how much longer do I need to wait for my Bush Baby to become an adult?

...Can I bribe you to move my Bush Baby up to the top of the adult list?
That depends on what or how much you're willing to bribe me with. PM me and we'll talk.

IMPORTANT: AFTER BECOMING A CHILD, YOU MUST MOVE YOUR BUSH BABY ONTO YOUR OWN SERVER, UNLESS YOU HAVE FED THEM A GROWTH CAKE! ADULTS MUST BE MOVED TO YOUR OWN SERVER, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Bush Baby Pick-up

Pick-up your babies here! Please be sure and direct link until they become children (or adults if you're doing that)! And after that, move them the hell off my server!

Note: If I find you using my server after having reached adulthood (or as far as you're going), I will give you one warning and then strip you of your Bush Baby and blacklist you if you do not comply.

Bush Food and Growth Cakes

When feeding your bush (if you choose to feed it) the food you select will effect the outcome of the child based on a pointage system. This means that if you do not feed your bush, you will aquire a Normal Bush Baby. So experiment! Go wild! Or, if you don't feel like experimenting, simply buy a food packet of your choice to influence your child exactly! DO NOT BUY FOOD PLUS A FOOD PACKET! IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF GOLD!

When you feed your bush, the child within sometimes fits into a certain type (like Angelic) while still having the qualities of a different type (like Demonic). Therefore you may end up with a hybrid Bush Baby (like a Arch Angelic). Other times you may feed your bush an item of influence (such as panties or a food packet) which will set the type of the child, while they still have qualities that would be better suited on another type. These other qualities are not apparent due to the influence of the stronger item and so lay in the genetic code to be released upon breeding, and occationally, adulthood.

NOTE: THROUGH COMBINATIONS OF FOOD NEW BUSH BABY TYPES ARE DISCOVERED! IF YOU DISCOVER A NEW TYPE, YOU WILL BE LISTED AS THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERED IT. NEW TYPES WILL THEN BE ADDED AS FOOD PACKETS. FOR CURRENT SPECIES DISCOVERED, SEE FIRST POST.

All food currently costs 100 gold!

Once your bush becomes a child, you may turn him or her into an adult by feeding them a Growth Cake. Otherwise, they will remain a child. ONLY ADULT BUSH BABIES MAY BREED.

Growth Cakes currently cost 5000 gold. This price may seem steep, but I draw and color each adult individually.

There are none currently available.

LeBlanc says, "Adult Items are themed after Gaian items so that my head does not explode. All items can be colored whatever color you wish and may be equiped on either males OR females! Items more themed to either will be altered to fit other sexes. You can also get custom items, prices for which will vary depending on what you want."</center>

Each Bush Baby can legally own up to three pet pet's, but only one Special Edition. All pet pets come with a limited availability, so get yours now before they sell out!

Mating

Has your Bush Baby found that special someone? Their other half? That person they plan on spending the rest of their life with? Then perhaps it's time they showed some commitment! Only adult Bush Babies can mate, as the young ones are far too flighty for something so binding.

Mating your Bush Baby to another costs 500g (250g from each side). Aside from the name of their mate on the tag, they'll also get an official mating certificate!

User Image

For 1000g, you'll get the mating certificate and a special mating present for each of your Bush Babies to be decided by the spouse. (Ex: jewlery, tattoo, etc) For larger mating gifts, the price may increase.

For 5000g, you'll get the mating certificate, a special mating present, and either a wedding photo or a photo from their honeymoon! These pictures will be individually drawn. ^_^

For 10,000g, you'll get the whole shebang! The mating certificate, a special mating present, a wedding photo, and a photo from their honeymoon!

These packages can be negotiated for those who wish for certain things seperately. To order, post which you would like to buy in the Shop Journal along with the names of the two betrothed. If buying a package including a special mating present, please have each Bush Baby post what they wish to buy for their mate-to-be.

Breeding

Bush Babies may breed an infinant amount of times in their life, but are only able to produce offspring once every three months. Same sex pairings may breed as well, but while male pairings may produce a female, female pairings CANNOT produce males. Anywhere from 2-4 seedlings may be produced from a breeding pair, as well as a separate baby which is returned to the garden for sale by shopkeeper. The other babies may be kept, sold, or gifted as the owners see fit.

Breeding Plots cost 3000 gold to rent (1500 from each owner). To order, post in the Shop Journal, and be sure to include your Bush Baby's names.

Plot One: Empty

Plot Two: Empty

Plot Three: Empty

Plot Four: Empty

Plot Five: Empty

Breeding is currently: CLOSED

REMEMBER: ONLY ADULT BUSH BABIES MAY BREED


Nursery

Newborn babies belonging to the garden will be kept here for viewing until they are auctioned or raffled off in a sale. Prices on second generation seeds will vary depending on their series. Pricelists can be found under Series Information.

Nursery is currently: Empty

Adoption

If at any time an owner no longer wishes to keep their Bush Baby, or they wish to put offspring of their current Bush Baby up for sale through the garden, they may return it to the garden to be placed into adoption. Former owners of abandoned Bush Babies will be paid half price upon return. Owners of offspring will be given half of whatever the offspring sells for in sale or auction. Prices will vary depending on series and, in the case of abandoned Bush Babies, on what food or items they contain.

Adoption is currently: Empty

Note: I keep 25% of profits whenever I sell a baby for you.

Job Opportunities

You enter a new brick building opposite the gate in the garden, looking around timidly. A rather sour looking stranger sits at a desk in the center of the room, waving you forward into the cool interior. "I suppose you're here about the job opening, unfortunately, we're not looking for anyone anymore," he says in a bored, but intimidating tone. Opening a drawer beside him, he pulls out a sheet of paper, handing it to you. "Here's what's available when we are."

Colorist of the Month

As colorist of the month you will be given access to all the templates and will be expected to color bushes and babies according to the seeds or bushes given. You will not be allowed to create a new series or set up any flatsales or auctions that you have not been commissioned for.

When doing second generations, you will choose offspring according to the current and latent traits (to be further explained upon being hired) and will color the appropriate templates accordingly. Linearts will also need to be edited for certain series, but if you are unable to edit lineart well, it will be provided for you instead.

You will also need to color growth cakes and any items placed onto current tags according to what color of clothing the customer wishes so that Kishara may turn them into adults. You recieve 10 gold for every item/growth cake colored every two weeks.

Colorists of the month will be allowed to suggest ideas to Kishara for new Bush Babies to be sold during surprise flatsales, raffles, or special events.

Colorists of the month will be allowed to create one Bush Baby for themselves for half the price of that series' normal cost. They will recieve 25% of any second generation they have colored sold (which comes from the 25% cut Kishara recieves if she has auctioned a baby for someone else). 1000 gold will be given every two weeks for each child colored and 500 gold for each bush, provided they have met expectations (aka, effort was put into it).

Please send a sample of your work and/or color in this template:

User Image

Samples of your work should be PMed to Sharaki, along with how many hours you believe you can spend working each week. Any ideas you have for future Bush Babies and other bouts of creativity will definately get you more points.

Pixel art is allowed.
