Return to Evelon's Marketplace

.:Birthday Boutique:.

For some reason, this shop didn't give off the typical vibe of any of the shops that consisted of the 'marketplace' that was scattered around Evelon's continents. Maybe the closest was the Seasonal shop, but even that somehow didn't compare to the sudden feeling of joy most got simply from taking their first step in. The smell of cakes and cookies filled the air, confetti covered almost the entire floor, and all sort of birthday supplies lined the walls.

"Hi there!" a quiet but high pitch voiced called out to you from somewhere, before you saw two hands on the counter and a young girl's face pop up from behind it. She had wide purple eyes and short, light blue hair with two long streaks of dark blue trailing down the side. "Oh, oh! You must be looking for something to surprise someone with! Right? Right?" Her voice squeaked with enthusiasm as she hopped up and down, barely able to be seen still.

"Uhm, uhm. Well, this isn't your normal shop!" She seemed to be trying to make herself more serious now, pulling herself up in a chair to sit on her knees so she could see you better. "I'm Briht. You know. Like Bree, but... with a t sound! Uhm, uhm. Anyways!" You could see the chair start to bob up and down due to her excited movements, despite trying to contain herself. It was just... someone was actually there!

"Okay. Well, this is a birthday shop. Well. I guess shop is a weird word since.. if it's your birthday you walk out with free stuff, but still! I... run it like a shop. And I do have party supplies if you want to buy those! Sis said the shop couldn't be sustained if I didn't have at least some merchandise..." Her wide eyes seemed a bit glossy for a few seconds, as if she had almost started crying.

She cheered up quickly enough though since she finally had a customer. "Okay. Well, I have a chart of the different pets you can have! I know it's your birthday and all, but you can't be greedy. Every year you can take one pet related to your birthday, and one pet only. There are some other things you can choose on top of that though, such as some pets that these nice people donate to me each year for their birthday. Also, it has to be the one for your birthday. The charts will tell you what year, date, and month fits with each pet."

At first it seemed like she was going to calm down and let you talk for once, but apparently she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, oh! Uhmmm...." There was a small pause and the little one started to fidget, as if unsure of herself. "I do have to.... ask you to register your birthday though. Since the pets are different based on your birthday... I kinda have to know your birthday to make sure you get the right pet. You can just send an email to landsofevelon@gmail.com containing your username and birthday. I'd prefer if you included the year as well, since one of the zodiacs is based on years... but uhm, if.. if you're a bit afraid of giving out that information I can totally understand! That only excludes you from one of my options of birthday presents!"


Rules and general information


° This thread follows all Marketplace Rules. Additional rules and information specific to this shop are listed below.

° To obtain free pets for your birthday, you must first register your birthday by sending an email to us at landsofevelon@gmail.com with your username and birthday.
       ° The exact year is not required unless you would like a pet from the eastern zodiac

° During the month you were born, you may post here and choose to claim a pet from the birthstone pets, western zodiac pets, or eastern zodiac pets. You will receive the one that corresponds to your birthday.

° If you do not want a pet from any of these special sections, you may choose to take a grab bag instead.
       To redeem a Grab Bag item, post it here!

° In addition to your birthday pet/grab bag, you may choose three pets from the staff birthday pets to be sent. Currently some of our staff are still working on their pets for this year. As such, we have chosen to give you two options this year;
       You can submit your staff birthday pet order at any time starting this year, meaning if we still haven't gotten more up by the time your birthday rolls around you can just hang on and submit your order later if you'd like.
       You can pick your 3 staff birthday pets from any artist/any year.

Rosetta was thrilled to bits with the idea of a birthday shop. And while it wasn’t actually her birthday, it was her mother’s (or what she considered to be her birthday, since it was technically the day of her creation, rather than her birth), and she just knew that her mother would enjoy the gifts that were here. Flouncing into the shop with the air of someone who was quite excited, she pranced over to the counter, and the young girl manning her station. “Well hi there, sugar plum!” she called, giggling as she gazed down at the child. “Why, I do declare that this shop is just the sweetest little ol’ thang in the world, and I’d very much like to pick up a gift for someone!” She held up a list, before reading it off. “I’d loved one of those darling little Observe Sabbits, and maybe an adorable Desolation Ichthysaur and a sweet ol' shinzarooAnd for the super special birthday gift…I’d like a grab bag please, sugar plum!”

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

Taliña walked into the store, trying to take everything in.  There were so many different pets around, but she couldn't even begin to figure what she would bring back to Spring.  Finally, after mentally crossing out the three options that Spring had mentioned specifically, she approached the desk.

"Hi," she said.  "Spring sent me here to pick up her birthday gift.  She's feeling a little under the weather.  She sent me to get, uh... ah!--right.  One Observe Sabbit, one Shinzaroo, and one Ailursice from the 'choose up to three Staff Pets' category... and since she fancies a surprise, she'd like a grab bag, please."

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

"Human", Rag'n'Bone Man

Chester wandered into the shop, and was immediately struck by the juxtaposition between himself and the place he was in. Being entirely monochromatic in his black coat and white mask, he was quite a contrast when compared with the vibrancy and colour of the Birthday Boutique. He allowed this notion to amuse him for a moment before he recovered. He had work to do, after all. (Ever the dogsbody, never mind that he actually had work to at home.)

Still, it had been her birthday. Chester supposed he owed Mousen something other than another disastrous attempt at gluten-free baking. "Hello there, I've come to pick up a present for a dear friend. I'd like to collect an Observe Sabbit, a Shiznaroo and a Desolation Ichysaur, from the Staff's Pets category. Also, a Western Zodiac pet. I believe that should be the Shinzo?"

"Don't be silly. You're coming in with me. Meerain said I could shove and push if I had to, but I swear you better not let it come to that." Erina growled, digging her little Diosol paws into the woman's back. Krypto glanced down at the stubborn Diosol, and a little sigh escaped her lips.
"Please tell me why we are here Erina. We barely even associate with each other to begin with. A thing I personally enjoy." Krypto drawled unimpressed.
Erina scowled back up at her but kept pushing her towards the store undaunted. "Believe me, I enjoy being away from your drama too. But you knoooow. We share personal things, even though you don't think so. As much as you try to hope I don't exist, I do. And so. I think we should at least celebrate our birthdays together."

Krypto rolled her eyes once more but stopped resisting the Diosol's pushing and actually let Erina lead her into the store. "So you pick. I don't care." Krypto huffed passive-aggressively and hunched into the corner, perusing a chart while she waited.
Erina shrugged and wandered over to the counter nonchalantly, Meerain had already told her what would be a good pick for Krypto. "Hey hey there!" She chirped happily. "I'm here to pick up some gifts. Our birthday was yesterday, but we can still do this, right?" Erina waved her paw around as she spoke, trying to find the charts that the girl had. "Here, I want.. this one here. The Western Zodiac pet. And... oh we get three of the others huh? Can I get... a Shinzaroo, Dilophoserraptor aaaaand Desolation Icthysaur? Thank you very much for that."

All the stories
And the loopholes
Guess you found my heart wasn't enough?
Throw another of your right hooks
Never thought you'd leave me in the dust
Now you're hungry for the control
Take the last of what I've got

Guess my heart wasn't enough

The large Mekkayena wandered into the shop, pausing in the entrance to take a deep inhale of the birthday cake scent. Mmmm. Not even the evilest of creatures could resist! He wandered for just a few moments, picking up a small basket full of things to take to the counter before he addressed the very bouncy young girl.

"I need to pick a few things up for my creator. Since we share the same birthday, it should be easy." He took a look over the list of presents, bi-colored eyes focused for a moment. "I think we will take the Aquamarine Stargoyle for the birthday pet... Oh, and free ones? Mmm. I'll take a Desolation Icthysaur, Aliursice, and Dilophoserraptor. Thank you."

He paid for the party supplies and left an address for the pets to be shipped to. This would make a very interesting night for the Expanse.

A young woman strolled into the store, perusing the goods which surrounded her as she went. What a delightful selection of pets and other fancies! As much as she enjoyed browsing through the store though, she was here with a specific purpose, but even so, she took the liberty of looking around for a while before making her way to the counter. Finally, after she seemed to have gotten her fill of studying the selection, she made her way over to the lady at the counter. "Hi there!" she chirped cheerily. "I'm here on behalf of my mistress. I believe she should be in your records somewhere?" From what she understood, this boutique was expressly for the purpose of giving out birthday gifts (which was a lovely gesture, in her opinion), and today just so happened to be her mistress's birthday. She was certain that this would be just the thing to cheer her up.

"If it's alright, I'd like to pick up a Desolation Icthysaur, an Observe Sabbit, and a Memorinessi, if I could." She paused for a moment, as if she'd finished, but started again when she remembered she'd forgotten an item. "Oh, and a Grab Bag as well, if you've got some of those." She'd heard there were some pretty great prizes in those, so she decided to take a chance on it. After all, how bad could a person's luck be on their birthday? "Thanks so much!"

She was being sent out to this weird plane again? No. No, no, no; this wasn't right. She'd told herself that she'd kill that rabbit if she ever saw him again... Well. She supposed the problem was actually seeing him... Damn.

Giving an irritated sigh, the cloaked figure stepped into the shop. "Hey, this has something to do with birthdays, right? Apparently I'm supposed to order a Diamond Stargoyle and Observe Sabbit for someone. Name's Kodai, I think? Which is weird; that's my name... but whatever. The stupid rabbit said you'd know where to send them."

The female lucain made her way to the shop. She couldn't believe it was that time of year already; her birthday was in a few days. She had a mental list of what she wanted, all she had to do was tell the young girl. Jobie padded softly through the shop, careful not to knock anything over. "I'd like an Observe Sabbit, an Ailursice and the Diamond Stargoyle please," she said with a smile. The three pets would have a wonderful home with her and the rest of them.

What a a miserable and pitiful state to be in. Not only did he need to run away from those who wanted his head — which was shameful enough for one of his lineage — but his unmatched knowledge and skills were no longer sufficient. His concoctions no longer brought in enough money for him to survive, driving him to take on ridiculous missions to cover extra costs. Some requests were more ridiculous and embarrassing than others, and finding himself here was no exception. Truly, this was a brand new low for him; the happy feelings and atmosphere of joy this place had to offer were not enough to make him feel any better.

He was an unusual one, clothed all in black, with his body being almost entirely hidden. Gloves and shoes covered his body even there, along with a mask that left only his eyes and part of his pitch-black hair. He did also wear a small pair of glasses, along with a long black coat that carried some green and teal accents. It wouldn't be surprising to see scientists or doctors come here, but it seemed like there was more to him than just that.

He ignored the cheerful, child-like attitude of the girl taking care of the shop, wanting this mission to be done and over with. It was incredibly embarrassing, but at least the pay was relatively good. "Just give me what I need," he told the little girl, groaning a little and shaking his head. "I'm here to pick up a few things for someone. Give me the Grab Bag, along with these three pets: Ailursice, Observe Sabbit, and Shinzaroo," he listed with a monotone voice, hoping he could simply list the items without needing an ID or anything of the like.

A Florana flitted into the shop with a scrap of parchment tucked tightly within its tail. It had arrived precisely when it wanted to - perhaps a little early. It was relieved to find the shop open and almost completely empty of patrons. It landed atop the counter and unfurled the tiny package near the hands of the shopkeeper. Only when the Florana was sure the latter had seen it did it take off again, free of its burden, and darted away into the starlight.

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!

His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.

The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
All sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king's return!

She often said she didn't run errands. It was not an unwillingness to help on her part, but rather the result of years of being confused for a golem programmed to obey every command. Today, however, was a slightly different matter. It was for the benefit of, if not all, then at least a reasonable number.

Having had a look at the lists, she approached the enthusiastic young girl and recited the appropriate names, trying to keep her voice low enough not to shake any rafters. "I have come to retrieve a Pearl Stargoyle, an Observe Sabbit, a Shinzaroo, and a Memorinessi. Please," she added after a moment's thought.

Tenshi walked into the boutique, looking at all the birthday gift options with a smile on her face. Jaden, the master of the Beach, turned 21 today. Everyone was so busy celebrating the one who had given them all a place to call home. Yet Tenshi still managed to find some time to slip away and get her some nice gifts. Walking up to the girl that seemed to be in charge, Tenshi gave her signature angelic smile.
"Hi, I'd like to claim a grab bag, an Observe Sabbit, a Shinzaroo, and a Dilophoserraptor, please~ It's for my master, Jaden." With a wink and a giggle, she pictured Jaden's face when she brought home all these good things!

You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Nyxia made her way into the shop with a tired expression on her face, her eyes showing the hints of dark circles. "Hello, there." She returned trying to smile slightly. This was a birthday shop after all, she should have been happy to be here. Instead she had purposely tried to forget such a day, unsuccessfully it seemed by her presence. "I'm sorry to be so late, but I would like to pick up a few things." Rubbing her hand across her face Nyxia browsed the selection on the chart showed to her, suddenly wishing she'd managed to talk Zina into doing this instead. "I think I want...the Eastern Zodiac creature, yeah it looks nice. The Desolation Icthysaur, Observe Sabbit, and...well Ailursice." Doing her best to smile

Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

Hero up to the counter happily - it was his birthday! He'd worked hard, and he'd saved up, and he had enough keystones to get whatever he wanted.

"I waaaaant...." he said, voice trailing off as he stared into the void in front of him. After a momentary silence, he once again piped up. "A Desolation Icthysaur... and..."

Oh dear, he was trailing off again.

"...and... and a Observe Sabbit, and a Ailursice. And... and... and a grab bag," he eventually finished, only pausing once to sneeze and ending on a happy note, eyes shining and butt wiggling.

((Desolation Icthysaur, Observe Sabbit, Ailursice, and Grab Bag!))

((...do I turn the bag in here, or...?))

My wraiths, though not wraiths then, wandered deep into the heart of the polar storm. They tried to fight sleep, naive to the inevitability of their fate. When they awoke, they saw before them my own self, so much a part of the ice and cold they almost fail to see me. I wear a crown of the coldest, sturdiest ice, and my claws and fur have coated themselves in it.
I stand aloof to the cold, for I have lived in it so long, been a part of it so long, it no longer concerns me.

My wraiths are cursed to wander the polar tundra, eternally freezing, following mortal explorers and trying to warn them with their presence that they should not travel onward, should not make the same mistake. But there will always be those who persist in pressing on, never knowing what they are doomed to face, or destined to suffer.
