UPDATES
April 15, 2005 - Well, I feel REALLY bad coming back and realizing how long it's been since I did an update ^^;. I've maintained all of the growings - the only one held back is by owner's request so she can RP the stages longer on her own time, which is perfectly fine with me 3nodding However, it has dawned on me that I really REALLY don't update the thread enough, and I've got a LOT else going on :/ - and It's crossed my mind to find the shop a new owner who will take care of it better than I've been doing. I really don't want to let it go for nothing, but I also want to know that it goes to a good owner.... If anyone is interested, you can PM me offers, and we can negotiate... I may end up sending it to auction, but I'd prefer if not... we'll see.
March 6, 2005 - WOW! Almost ALL of the C&S are adults now 0.o. BIIIIG update. Of course that means that there should be some new ones sommmetime soonish :3 And check out my art contest ninja
February 5, 2005 - LOTS of growings! Other than one whose growth is slowed at the owner's request for RP purposes, ALL of the C&S legends who were born before the SS are now adults! Also - the plushies form the Secret Santa event have now emerged into cute kitsune kits
Jan 3, 2005 - Happy new year! And, with the new year comes the first round of adults! Take a look down in the owner's list/spotlight to take a look at the first adult kitsune and tanuki. Also, I'm still looking for names for 4 of the secret santas - also down in the spotlight smile . Congradulations also to Hikari, Reizo's new owner ^_^
December 25, 2004: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I am opening the stockings as we speak, and right thereafter I believe that the magic of the night will encourage those sleepy creatures to revert to animal form... keep a close eye out! And - there are 2 TRUE FORMS now among us from those relics - apparently, a few of them kept their magic and consciousnesses whilst aslumber. If you got a plushie - this is your final cert - you can name it, but it won't go on the cert - UNLESS your plushie is on the full cert, in which case it really is a relic and you can name it smile . If you got a relic you can post OR PM me a name smile
Also, coming up after the XMas madness will be a small free raffle for Kamiya's kitsune - she wants to find him a good home among the shop regulars who will RP him (in general, RP is not optional, but she wants Reizo to be played and does not have the time to do so) - I will be compiling a list of eligible people.
Dec 23 - The SS is now closed to all new orders. I'll be filling the last couple that I got in and getting those out. Then, in just a few days, they will emerge/open!
December 22, 2004: In order to give myself ample time to process all the SS orders and to randomize those who will get True form creatures (And fully color those >> ), I'm going to close any new Secret Santa orders on Thursday, December 23 at 3pm Gaia time. So if you want to order any, get them in now!
Dec 21, 2004: The first day of winter! All the cubs from the last flatsale have emerged from their relics! biggrin Also, anyone receiving a SS bonzai relic may request a journal in the guild starting as soon as now smile .

October 20,2004 - Store Conceptualized and Thread Posted. Silhouette Teasers Posted.
<center>

Away from the hustle and bustle of the busier streets of Barton and Gambino, and near the waters of Bass'ken lake north of Barton resides a rather unique shop. The architecture is heavily Japanese inspired, with delicately curving ridged rooves, thatched with HInoki bark and trimmed with carved designs. Red and gold laquer seems to be the dominant colors of the building, and the smell of incense wafts towards you. Outside is an elegant garden and a rock garden, elegant in its simplicity. As you approach the entrace, you see beautifully carved, and amazingly preserved statues lining the walkway - most taking the shape of narrow-faced foxes or rotund tanuki. At the door, shoes have been left behind; understandingly as you see the care that has been put into maintaining the finely polished wooden floor, and the respect deserving of the property. You hear water lapping in the background from the lake nearby, and as you enter the large room, smiling faces greet you. There are pillows and futons, a large drum with Kanji painted onto it, and a few subtly placed modern conveniences, alongside traditional amenities such as trays of tea and traditional Japanese food like sushi and riceballs.
This Store, unlike many of the purely aestetic, cutesy pets, focuses on the more traditional meanings behind some of the now popular creatures such as the Kitsune, and the overshadowed Tanuki. Here, a Gaian may adopt a relic that these shapechangers shifted into ages ago, and have been trapped as ever since. With the guidance of their new owner/companion, they can emerge again - first developing as the animal the mythological creature is based on, and finally emerging forth as its true self once again. With the proper nurturing, these legendary creatures can even achieve their full potential and former glory.
Roleplaying these beautiful creatures is encouraged, but not required.
