Welcome to Gaia! ::

The fashion tribe of Bird Bird Fish are here to show their stuff - or let you show your stuff, to be precise. They've set up a little stage at the Winter Market, and surrounded it with all manner of materials neccessary for the height of Kin fashion. While tribe members are usually allowed to choose between the vocations of Designer, Model, and Critic (or any or all of the above), today, brave participants will be their own designer, and hop up on the stage to model their own fashions! (Critics are still freely available to sneer at you.) What could go wrong?

Everything Wildering Dove could go wrong, is what. Who let the birdbrained head of the modeling division run this booth, anyway? Oh, but here she comes now - what the Swamp is she wearing?!



"Welcome, welcome," she chirps. Her eyes are a million miles away. When she remembers what you're here for, that's when she gets flustered, stumbling through the materials and haphazardly gathering three random items.
"H-here!" she thrusts them at you, "Hop up onto the stage once you're ready! O-oh, and our tribe is always open!"

This is a very simple Blingee task that can be done once for day for an automatic token - or less more!

Step 1: Roll 3d20 and match the three numbers to the list below for three Blingee stamp keywords:

1. flower
2. gem
3. feather
4. butterfly
5. leaf
6. pearls
7. holly
8. pinecone
9. squirrel
10. berries
11. seashell
12. pebble
13. scarf
14. snake
15. bird
16. branch
17. wing
18. mistletoe
19. spider
20. Wildering Dove trips on a rock and everything goes flying off in different directions. "I'm so sorry!" she squeaks, "please come back later!"

If ANY of the numbers you've rolled is 20, your Kin has to leave for the day, so no Blingee nor token - come back tomorrow! (Unless you rolled three 20s, then read on...)

If you rolled THREE of the same number that is NOT 20, congratulations! When you step onto the stage (i.e. post your Blingee with a short IC reaction (one line is fine) as instructed below) Wildering Dove is so impressed by the uniformity of your design (even though it was her fault?!) that she gives you 3 whole tokens!

If you rolled THREE 20s, congratulations...I guess! Wildering Dove hecked up so bad, she gives you 2 tokens to go away and not tell anyone she messed up - you didn't even have to dress up (i.e. you get 2 tokens without having to post a Blingee - BUT you MUST post a short IC reaction (one line is fine) to collect them)! "I'm so sorry! ;A;"

Step 2: Go to Blingee.com, and load the uncert image of your participating Kin into the Blingee-maker.*
Use each keyword you've rolled in the Blingee stamp search to find and place one stamp of each on the Kin.
Save the Blingee and post it with a short IC reaction (one line is fine) for 1 token from Wildering Dove!
(NOTE: No other Blingee stamps are required outside of the three rolled, and it doesn't matter how horrible it looks...)

* WARNING: Blingee.com may not play well with your browser, I'm so sorry. Q_Q If it stops at the second stage without ever loading the Blingee-maker, even after hard-refreshing, please consider using Internet Explorer if you're on Windows, where it usually does work! (I don't have a Mac so I can't check for that, I'm sorry!) If Blingee just won't work and you can use an image-editing program, you can Photoshop in the "materials" you get from a Google Image search of the same keywords instead.

Further Notes on Blingee.com:
- The Blingee-maker may lag a little. If it stops responding, try giving it some time.
- You don't have to add a Description nor Tags, but it won't let you save without a Title (my favourite is "...")
- You don't have to sign up for an account, just click on the "Skip this step, and signup later?" link at the bottom of the form.
- Your canvas is restricted to the area of the file you upload, so if you want to put stuff on your Kin that exceed the boundaries of their uncert, you'll have to put them on a bigger image and save that to upload if you have an image editing program, sorry!

Smoke chose all the best of everything to wear, of course. Also there was a shell stuck to her side that she just couldn't get off so she left it there, oops. Regardless of the quality of her fashion, her posing was top notch. Maybe a little... provocative?

"I'm just giving them what they want, baby!"

Graceful beauty steps out, holding one decorated pinecone in her mouth as another dangled on her tail, held in place by a squirrel that had decided to hop on "Tada?" She gave a little twirl, showing off the ensemble

Good enough for a Token!

While I Sleep had to keep herself from dozing off half-way through dressing up and nudged herself out to show off what she'd put on with a dozy smiled on her face.

"H-how do you I look?" She asked, the snake coiling up her leg giving a hiss.

Quest was a little confused by the idea of dressing up but the idea made her curious.
...And so to fill that thirst for curiosity she followed her peers into their strange decorating ritual.

holly, pinecone, squirrel

Burning Coal was disgusted at himself. His coat was itching, and there was a squirrel on him. Well, it was better to try to get a token, right?

He didn't care. It was done.

Slay had followed her mother, for she had tried to pull the hunter-seeking doe from her parts of the swamp, telling Slay about things like community and the like. Her daughter, in return, had elected not to snort and come along, willingly.

So, in spirit with the no back talk, she quietly pulled up pieces she found in the pile while Quest flashed and flaunted herself. When it was her turn, Slay showed up, branch on head, berries in mouth, and a small, soft fabric around her.

Was this good enough?

It was good enough to hunt.

(1+ Token; Berries, Branch, Scarf)

Final Ordeal had followed his mother and sister here. And now he felt ridiculous as he strutted upon the stage. Perhaps he needed to find another place instead of following family members.
