As you stroll through the Breedable/Changing pets market of Gaia, you come across a ramshackle store that you don't recognize. The walls have not yet been painted and the sign above the door was little more than a poster board with sharpie written on it. It says 'Kirntaur Laboratories.'
You wonder to yourself, 'What's a corn-tur?' You had certainly never heard of that before. And then you hear a bleating sound.
"Breea! Breea!" A strange, unfamiliar creature makes noises at you. It is tied to a stake by a simple dog leash and collar. But this is no dog. Its ears are large and floppy, its feet are two-toed hooves, and adorning its head are blunt, giraffe-like horns. You assume that this is a kerter, or however it's pronounced.
Suddenly, a slipper flies through the open window of the store. "Shut it up out there, 'Ko," A girl's voice calles out, irritated. "You're going to scare all those half-angel-half-demon-gothic-winged-elemental-neko-kitty-puppy monstrosities they're trying to sell at that pet shop down the street." The source of the voice peeked her head out the window to toss a serious look at the beast.
The bespectacled girl notices you. "Great Barber of Pearl Harbor! It's a customer!" She disappears back through the window and runs out the door to greet you. "Hey! Welcome to Kirntaur Labs!" Hearing it out loud, you find that 'Kirntaur' rhymes with 'burn far.' "Sorry the place looks so ramshackle, we're still getting everything prettified."
She leads you inside. The store is small, and not very professional looking. None of the animals are properly restrained, they lounge around on piles of cedar chips on the floor. The building looked bigger than this from the outside...perhaps the bulk of the space was behind a door in the back labeled 'Employees Only (unless you brought a bribe).'
"If you're interested in adopting one of our animals, we've got brochures and pamphlets and other official document-type papers to explain how to take care of them." She hands you a few papers. From the font and quality of paper, it's painfully obvious that she made them with Microsoft Word on her home computer. "You can also go around and get to know the Kirns. Don't worry, they're trained not to bite. I'll be back here if you need anything, just knock." She quickly slips behind the 'Employees Only' door, leaving you with the animals. It's a bit odd that she left the place unattended; you could easily run off with the cash register...unless these Kirntaurs are trained for other things as well...
((Welcome to Kirntaur Laboratories! One of the goals of our shop is to be accessible to everybody, while still having incentives for veterans. If you're a new member roaming around for their first pet, you are in no danger of getting trampled over in flatsales by the oldbies. There will be enough for everyone. And if you intend to stick around and create your own little Kirn flock, there are lots of rare breeds that you can collect...for enough cash. Because MegaRose is greedy that way.
Most of the Kirntaur experience comes from the guild. There you can find in-depth info on different breeds, set up your own Kirn journals, roleplay, and order stuff directly from the Kirn colorists. It's not necessary to go there regularly to get a Kirntaur...but if you want to get really involved in the Kirn Community, that's the place to go. The guild is public.))
