This is Sui Marius. In real life, she's a rather strict and impatient Aussie. She will be managing the orders and putting them together to be sent out when completed.

Anyway, she's the writer of Gaian Escapades and has very specific rules on her episodic fiction which is further down in the thread. Basically, just don't annoy her. Not only your head will be on the chopping board but ours will be as well. After than we become food for her pet owls: Baron and Owlda.



This is Lulu Tsune. In real life, she's an Aussie that can't sit still. Even while sitting, she twitches. She's also fairly new to Gaia and when this shop opened, she actually didn't have an account yet!

She's our Pixel Artist. Most graphics on sale in this shop were created by her. Updates will be whenever she can do them. She also has two familiars. Two rabbits called Hermes and Mercury.

Our pixel artist was wandering Zen Gardens the other day and happened across a few of these critters being attacked by Kokeshi dolls. After rescuing a few, she noticed they each had a unique emotion plastered onto their small faces.

There's an unlimited number of these guys so please help us find homes for them. They are also animated so you might get a nice surprise when you buy one.

Unlimited Prices:
Singles - 15g each
Set of 20 - 300g

If you would like a custom set of one of the adoptable animals from the zoo. Custom emoti-animals will only be done if slots are free and open. The prices are as follows:

Singles - 200g each
Set of 20 - 4k

~ Slots ~

~ Mystery Scrolls ~

Mystery scrolls are a new addition to the shoppe. They contain a random assortment of items. The higher the price, the larger/more interesting and personalized the item will be. But there is a catch, the higher the price also means the longer the wait.

Below is a table with the prices and waiting times:
50g - 1 week
100g - 2 weeks
200g - 3 weeks
400g - 4 weeks
800g - 5 weeks
1600g - 6 weeks

When you order, you will receive the scroll with a estimated date of opening (EDO). It may open earlier than the date... But those may be rare. You will also be placed on the Mystery Scroll list so if you lose your link, you may find it there. All scrolls are also personalized to deter people stealing the mystery items others receive.

Mystery Scrolls List

~ Cake Slices ~

We've been busy in the bakery and will be bringing you some yummy treats over the next couple of months. To kick things off, here are some cake slices. You can buy the symbol on the cake or the complete cake.



Prices:

Cake Slices - 100g each

Welcome to the Adoptable Animal Zoo. As time goes on, the unlimited adoptables placed here will increase. They will also be released in sets of 4.

Lulu will record suggestions people make in her journal here. Please post any suggestions and she will update her journal as she goes. What she makes will be subject to what has the highest votes when she starts a new one. So make sure you vote.

Adoptable animals are 500g each.




Recoloured animals are 3k each. If there is a slot available below then you can order a recoloured animal.

If you would like an animal to cosplay a certain character, either suggest it to be a limited or you can request a custom cosplay animal.

Custom cosplays are 5k each. we will only do custom cosplay animals if the slots are empty. We will also let you know if we cannot do the cosplay on the animal.

Also keep in mind that cosplay's will be bare minimum. Check the Limited's section for an example.

One of our artists loves to write. She'll be writing an episodic fiction (once she gets around to it) and will be posting the links here.

They'll all be off-site links attached to her personal website so you take responsibility on behaviours, comments and anything else i haven't mentioned. Right click on her site has been disabled to prevent theft of her work.

After the first few chapters, she will be offering to write people into the episodes. She will only add 3 people per episode.

Fan-Fiction Guild: Gaian Escapades Guild

~ Rules ~
1. The slots will be for the episode mentioned above the slots. You'll see it. If you can't then you are more blind than our writer (she wears fairly thick glasses).
2. If you purchase a spot in the story, it will be for one episode. The amount you pay will determine the amount of time you appear in the episode.
3. Fill out the form (as you do with any other section in this shop).
4. Be patient. Our writing artist has real life commitments as much as anyone else. She'll try to post up the episodes per month but she will notify me if there is any delay.
5. Complete the trade fully or she won't write you into the story. She is fussy about this part.
6. You will be notified and PM'ed a link when the episode is finalised.
7. If slots are full/closed then there is absolutely no way you can be entered into the story. She accepts only a very small range of items as a bribe. Bribe at your own risk.

Note: If you really want to know the range, go look at her wishlist on her profile page. Make sure you read her About Me section. She outlines what she takes as bribes quite clearly.
Note 2: People who super bribe with items/gold to the price of 100k+ will be written into 4 consecutive episodes. If there is not enough episodes remaining, we will place you at the start of the next season rather than put half in one season and half in the other. Please do not ask why.
Note 3: We will only keep the maximum bribe spots to 4. If normal bribe spots are full, your only choices are to wait or super bribe.

Season One

[Sakura Sapphire Shoppe]

Limited items can be based on anything from the shop such as a limited emoti-animal set or an adoptable animal in cosplay. All will be limited to having 25 sold. So i will keep a count of what was sold in this post.

Limiteds will only be released 4 at a time. So if one hits 0/25, it'll be replaced with a new one once it is available. Any limited that has hit 0/25 automatically becomes classed as a past limited even tho it is still currently on display.

All current limiteds are 1k unless otherwise stated. Past limiteds are 2k.

Past Limiteds

~ Current Limited ~


Binn and Alpha have been getting into Sui's wardrobe and managed to get this scarf locked around their necks. It isn't on tight so they won't die, but they've become quite attached to it.

Not to mention, they've also been getting into the cosplay equipment and managed to tattoo themselves with Allen Walker's face and hand markings. Very very inquisitive but naughty creatures.

Angelic Scarf and Allen Walker variations are available on their own or set as an adoptable with certificate. If buying one, please let us know which you prefer. Otherwise we will assume it is on his own.

Availability:
Alpha: Angelic Scarf - 24/25
Alpha: Allen Walker - 24/25
Binn: Angelic Scarf - 24/25

These paper cranes will be custom only items. Our pixel artist be learning how to use Photoshop while making custom cranes. So if she attempts something new on a crane that you have ordered and it looks good, you might get two cranes instead.

Basically there are 2 types of custom cranes you can get.

Type 1:

Price: 1k

This type is just with two colours. You tell me the two colours and i will create the crane for you.

Type 2:

Price: 1.5k

This type is created based on what your avatar is wearing. Each area of the crane determines where she gets the colour from. For instance, in this avatar the hair is red and black so red and black were used on the head. Neck corresponds with face and neck of avatar, Wings correspond to either/and/or wings on avatar and arms, body=body, and tail corresponds to either/and/or tail on avatar or legs.

Slots:
1.
2.
3.

1. Check if the above slots are full. If they are she's not accepting crane orders.
2. Fill out form. Simple!

[list][*]Crane Type:
[*]Colour/Copy of avatar: (She will not accept 'current avatar' she needs a current image)
[/list]

~ Charms

Charms are a smaller and more personalised version of the cranes. You can give these as gifts or keep one for yourself to attract certain properties. The use of these is up to your imagination.



What you so is simply choose a charm type, then choose a colour below. You can opt to have wording which can be placed horizonal, diagonal, or vertical. Prices are below the colour chart.



Cost:
Charm without words - 500g
+ words - 2g per letter

~ Weaponry Motifs

Weaponry can be as unique as the person wielding them. If you wish to have a weaponry motif drawn for you, let me know the type of weapon and any additional information you wish to have. Sui draws mainly medieval weapons. She will try her hand at modern weapons but the success rate will be fairly low.

Each motif can have just one weapon. Additional weapons cost half the initial price. So a coloured motif with 2 weapons will be 1.5k. Weapons with sheathes like swords will be drawn with both sword and sheath for no additional cost.

Examples:

Coloured pieces - 2k per motif


Uncoloured pieces - 1k per motif

[Sakura Sapphire Shoppe]

Contests will always be for a one of a kind item. It can be a complete and unique emoti-animal set, a free custom crane, or even a unique adoptable animal.

Contests will be run at the discretion of the artists. If a contest is running, please be courteous and obey the contest rules. Cheating and any un-sportsmanship play will put you on the grey list.

Current Contest: Gaian Escapades Episode 7 Slot Contest!

Here's basically the rundown of how this contest will work. All slots will be drawn in a raffle. This is for the three basic slots. If you wish to upgrade if you win a prize, PM Sui and she will talk to you about upgrades.

When you order your tickets, you can chose to have your name randomly placed in the ticket list, or you can choose your numbers.

Ticket Pool: 200 tickets
Ticket Price: 100g each
Ticket Limit: 5 per account

Date of Draw: When episode 6 is released (late september - early october)

Link to Ticket List and Holders.

You may use mules to add to your overall chance of winning. However, the image you chose as your 'character image' (it can be tektek'd but no avatar art images) will be linked to the winning account.

Also in the off chance your number is chosen twice, you will be placed into Bribe section. Three times will cause your name to be moved to Super-Bribe.

[Sakura Sapphire Shoppe]

People who tip will receive the above tip owl as a gift... Obviously without the word sample in it. While tipping is never necessary, it's a nice way to show someone you like their artworks.

~ Tipping Code ~

Notes: The Plush Rush plushie is named after one of Sui's Iron Wolves characters - Lisiel. That's why she has that name next to her foot.
