PLEASE BE ACTIVE IF YOU ARE ORDERING A MOUSE
Aliahra Status: enduring 293752387423561214209 of homework due in tomorrow.
Kylira Status: Being eaten by killer cosplay pixels.

The sun is shining, the skies are clear and the grass dance along in the light breeze. You finally make it over that large, sloped hill, panting hard. And before you is a place you've never spotted before. Trees were dotted here and there, and the distant sound of rushing rivers and brooks could be heard. But the strangest of all was at your feet was the sound scattering. You bend down, and find a little gray mouse near you. It had beady black eyes and looked up. However, the tail..it seemed to be a wire instead. Puzzled, you suddenly find yourself near a black haired girl with her hands full, caused by two small eggs.


"Welcome to the land of Optical Mice."

Okai, so you've read the story(-gasp-) but what in the cheesecake is Optical Mice? Optical Mice is a breedable shop brought to life (after many plastic surgeries) by Aliahra and Kylira. They feature, well, yes, optical mice. You can get one and watch it grow from an egg to a wireless mouse, all ready to set out in the new world.

--.EASTER AUCION AND RAFFLE-- Finishing on 13th since Kylira's gonna leave on 14th D=.

--.Some of the Optical Protection Team have been carrying around new chips for mice. No one knows what will happen to your mouse if you agree to help test it...

If you /do/ agree, then look out for the OPT posts, as the first volunteer(or quoter) with a mouse is accepted to test this chip.


--.Eastah events have been rescheduled to...

NOW! =o


--.BIGSALE! Today there shall be another flatsale, an angelic auction and a speshal raffle!

--.Ooooo! What's this little blue computer doing here?
User Image

Reports are that scientists of the OM hatchling center finds that ice mice don't like the sunny area we currently have, but an icy blue! This new model of computer goes to whoever buys the mouse egg, with their name ingraved on the computer!
Stars have replaced the hearts. And also, this is the first ever released new enviroment so the winner will be the first to have a different computer. Same goes for the flames!

--.Rumours a flatsale may be up again today.. ninja

--.First flatsale is underway! Flatsale's over. All eggs have been claimed. Congratulations to the new owners.

--.Easter auction is announced! It will happen on 14th of April for me and Kylira's time zone so it'll probably still be 13th 'o April wherever you live.

But here is a view of our auction item:

Optical ice mice are very rare, only found in the coldest of places. They are often hunted for their beautiful skin. Today, the Optical Protection Force has found one little egg in the mountains of Optical Hills. It is still an egg, and has been scheduled for an auction to a caring owner!

Anyhow, some photos have been taken of them. If you think you'd like to care for them, just stock up on gold till the 14th!

Flame Eggs:
Straight from the heart of volcanos, these are extremly hard to get as they burn to touchers. The ash slowly fades away though as it gets older. Flame Eggs are creatures that are angered easily but determined and strong.

The stages of your mouse's life. Fear it...and all it's MOUSINESSkthxbai.

[x]--//Stages


User Image
Stage 1 - Digital Egg;; your mouse starts off inside this tiny egg. Don't worry, it isn't 100% inanimate...it moves around...er, sometimes. It has really, REALLY gewd hearing as it has nothing else to focus on but using its ears.

Hearts before next stage: 2

Stage 2 - Plugin Mouse;; this is the result of a hatched egg. Your mouse develops a cord with a small plug attached to the end of it, used to demolish lime juice connect to the PC. The mice squeaks in a....er, kawaii fashion. -cough- It likes to explore, get connected to game systems. Make sure you take gewd care of it or else your mouse will catch a virus. And we don't want that now, do we? (OR do we... ninja )

Hearts till next stage: 5

Stage 3 - Wireless Mouse;; your mouse's cord will shrink into a thin wire, and its body will grow in size. It'll gain a nose -legasp!- and the ears will change color. And voila, your mouse has grown to its full potential! -dramatic music- It can also breed if you wish.

In order fer your mouse tah grow, you'll want to increase the heart rate of it. [see ...er, one of the later posts.]
Bear in mind that your mouse may retreat into the previous stage of its life if you fail to care for it. -audience gasps-

[x]--//Gaining Hearts


Hearts are things for your mouse needed to grow. They are like, say, care points. When you get your heart meter to full you'll get stars all over eet and something special will happen to your mouse. (dundundunDUN)

How to get Hearts:
1.Buy lots of items for it, and just generally take care of it, not throwing it into water etc.
2.You can buy a growth item from the shops if it is in stock.
3.Roleplaying is a very big thing to earn hearts. As you roleplay your mouse more frequently it will gain hearts faster.

Curing Sickness
Your mouse's hearts will go down if you dont cure sickness quick. Sometimes if your mouse lacks food, or anything else such as attention it will gain a virus or go short circuited. You can buy a fixer from the shops to cure it.

Your Cert
Well, cause there was no where else to put it. oo You will notice on this example cert that your mouse lives inside a computer. Well, that doesnt mean it cant hop out and roleplay with you. Notice the hearts too.

When you adopt a mouse the cert will be according to what color your wittle mice is. Accessories for the computer will be coming soon, along with some optional backgrounds. -shiftyeyes-

User Image

Connection/Breeding
When your mouse is an adult, or a wireless, you can breed! Considering there are breeding spots open of course. Each breeding pair will get at least two eggs from breeding, maybe more if you take care of the female mice /really/ well. AND if both mice has a full or one heart away from full heart meter, their eggs will have a collision of traits =o

Did I mention that breeding costs 800gg? xD And always check below to see if any connection wires to your mouse's computer is open.

connectionwire1.closed
connectionwire2.closed
connectionwire3.closed

You can also BUY connection wires from the shops or get it from holiday events. These are very rare though, but they are only 500gg, cheaper than 800gg breeding spots.

--//Shops
Oh, hello. Are you here for shopping?

Item Shop
User Image
Stock:20//50g//Spray- Sometimes your mouse will get dirty. This is notified by an ugly dirty covering on grime. Buy some spray and wipe it off, since if you leave it on soon it's hearts will go down and might..retreat. =o You can also use this if your mouse doesnt get dirty, and it might earn you some hearts.

Stock:10//70g//Fixer- Sometimes your mouse will catch a virus or get short circuited. It may be because you wont feed it or for some other random reason, but use this fixer to fix it soon unless you want it to retreat into a bottom stage.

Stock:2//100g//Growth Chip- Helps your mouse grow by adding a big, full heart to it's meter.

Stock:1//80g//Lightbulb- Similar to the growth chip, but only for mouse eggs.

Accessories Shop

User Image

Not very good, I know but however they are just accessories. When your egg grows, it will lose it's accessories. However, when the plug in mouse grows, the accessories will be inherited to the wireless!

Inventory Shop
User Image
The most important of all =o Strangely enough, optical mice eat human food. Keep them healthy to avoid virus!

Strawberry Sweet: 2g|Milk: 4g|Cheesecake: 3g|Bouncy Ball: 5g|Potions(comes in any color. changes color of mice):140gg|Mouse Balloon: 10g|Big Lollipop: 30gg|Toy Guitar:6g|Pizza:4g|Chocolate Heart: 6g|Hamburger:2g|Muffin:4g|Fish:2g|Ice Cream:6g
[x]--//Roleplaying

Roleplaying is a great way to gain Heart Points, give your mouse a personality, recieve status in the shop...literally, anything could happen. -gasp-
Sometimes the Optical Protection Force will appear and give your mouse all sorts of different...THINGS. -gasp-

etting
The land of Optical Mice is a beautiful wonderous area. Residing in the center is the Hatchling Center - the flatsales, auctions and stuff are held here.

[h]atchling center
Where all the sales are held. Eggs that have been found are sold here.
The entire building - inside and out - is completely skyblue, shiny, silver tiles lining the floor. It's quite large, and the corridors lead to different places - the auction room, the flatsale room, raffle sale room...
There's a room that holds all the orphaned eggs - with toys, food and everything, 100% secure so no sneaky...er, person can get in. They're all ready to be released and find a new home.
One room leads to a place where all the owners - and anyone else - can rest, filled with more rooms, with personal ensuites...all that sorta stuff, with ROOM SERVICE. -cough-

[t]he land
Eggs are scattered everywhere, hidden behind trees, bushes, between rocks - some even resting at the bottom of the rushing rivers. So it'd be good if you roleplayed your character/avatar finding the egg. whee

The Hatchling Center is right in the middle of the Grasslands o' course - and the entire land. If you trek North, you will find 2 bridges strewn across a thick freshwater river - always perfect for drinking. At the other side of the bridge lies a deep forest - peaceful at day, yet maliciously freaky at night...and strangely enough, eccentric energy sources lurk there...best not to go there, yeah?

If you manage to manouver through the forest, the temperature of the air around you will lower; the ground covered in snow and ice.
Lying across this piece of land are tall, snow-capped mountains - perfect for finding limiteds...during special events, of course. Your mouse is free to frolick in the snow, and for some reason, it's always snowing there...
At the very edge of the land lies a desert - you don't wanna go there, unless your mouse /really/ loves to explore...

South of the Center is just a stretch of grassland, with a couple of brookes and freshwater rivers. Lying down and staring at the azure sky and puffy clouds is extremely relaxing...

Your characters/avatar etc. are allowed to enter the roleplay at any time. 3nodding
