Flatsale on Feb. 28th, 8:30pm! xd

We'd like to create a guild for RP. Sadly this requires money. If you would like to donate, please send a trade to this account (littlelovedones) with the subject heading of donation. We will keep a running tally here of donators.

Chae: 4K
Mintaka: 1k
bran-chan : 15K 0_0


ATTENTION: Chae is currently in the midst of moving to her new apartment. Therefore, the shop is NOT on hiatus, but anything Chae owns, breeding or customs may be delayed a few extra days. I truly hope you understand this real life impact and are happy for me. It's been a crazy half-year trying to get back on my feet and find a new place to move to!

Yes, that's right. Chae has bitten the bullet and is offering a fully custom auction: HERE

Merci' Cinderfae, and myself are questing for November 03 hats. As you can see, I have gotten mine,
but we still have two more to go! Please help Cinderfae and Merci get their hats as well! Besides the
warm fuzzies
of helping out two sweet and HARD WORKING questors....you may find something else in it for you.
*winks* Make sure you let us know there that you came via this message in the Aiko thread!
Bumpers: Terrenity



Owners:
I have updated the owners list to the best of my knowledge. IF you should be there and are not,
please PM me!
Also, if you would like a link to your Aiko up, please PM me the link for your baby XD

It was a dark and stormy night... maybe....okay, so it likely wasnt!

Please no Fred Savage references or the "wonder years" jokes....

1. Egg stage: Eggs are placed in a cradled nest above the ground to prevent predators from destroying and consuming the young. Since these eggs are no longer in the wild, it is a mere formality that they are given to a nest that is off the earth.

2. Young stage: Stumbling from their shells, the Aiko young are intelligent, quirky and willful from the start. Heavily influenced by certain internal and external stimuli, the young will quickly establish it's personality. While they lack the grace and ease of their later stages, the young can move rapidly for very short distances. It is at this stage that they are the most impressionable.

3. Teen stage: the Aiko reflects both the nature of its influence as well as the nurture of its caretaker. The final result is up to both! At this stage, they are graceful, and deceptively powerful for their size. Intelligent and canny, they master full spoken speech at this stage, and may exhibit unusual abilities.

4. Evolved stage: Nothing is known of this stage. One can only wonder.

Breeding cost 4K total (2K from each party) why so expensive? Mainly because a flatsale Aiko costs that, and you get anywhere from 2-4 eggs out of a breeding.

If you give away your Aiko, that's your choice. If you sell or auction it, the shop would like to have 20% of your price. That means you keep 80% and recoup some of the breeding costs XD

Aiko can breed once a month. After a breeding, they go on a waiting list until they are eligible again to breed. Just because your Aiko CAN breed does not mean there is an open space. Please check first!

Getting an Aiko....
Q. How do I get one?
A. Through normal flatsales, auctions and raffles. Sometimes there may be special events.

Q. How much?
A. Flatsale is 4K, and auctions start the same.

Q. Do you do pet trades?
A. Yes, in a sense. If I am not too busy, or I like the pet you are offering. Please do not be offended if I decline though, I have quite an army already!

A list of wanted pets:
-- Fluffy Cat
-- Blathanna


Q. There are none available, but I REALLY want one! Can I bribe you?
A. It would have to be a hefty bribe. Very hefty. Because I usally have nothing available when I don't have time. If you offer me a poor amount, I retain the right to decline, and if harrassed, I *WILL* blacklist you.

Q. Can I PM the colorists to see if they can do a custom/breeding/something else?
A. NO. I don't mean to be horrid about this, but I don't like my colorists being badgered. Unless THEY ask you to PM them, please do NOT do so. The colorists are freelance, and not bound to this shop.

Store upkeep and maintenance
Q. How long does it take you to do ....
--breeding
--item orders
--flatsales
--hatchings
--anything else
A. As long as it takes me. I try to keep you abreast of things as I go along. So please don't pester me unless it has been a while with no mention of your particular issue.

Q. Can I PM you?
A. I'd rather you not. Not because I think I'm too good for PM's. . . but rather because my inbox gets filled up too quick as is. sweatdrop if it is something you simply MUST PM me about, ask here first for permission, so I make sure I have room.

Q. Can I add you as an affiliate?
A . Absolutely! Let me reciprocate! But PLEASE PLEASE use such sites as tinyurl.com for shrinking the size of your URLS.

Q. I want a job!
A. If there are any positions available, I will post them.

RP
Q. Are these RP mandatory?
A. Good gods, no. sweatdrop

Q. Do I get anything special for RPing?
A. Yes.

Q. But...Im not much of an RPer....
A. Understood. However, this is a casual RP environment. Even visitng the shop counts in my book as "rp". But VISIT, don't just pop in and flitter out for months at a time. smile

Breeding
Q. I have a breeding question....
A. Please refer to the breeding section of the thread. I should answer it there. If not, please post the question in the thread.
