CrystalGuardian 
Welcome to CoG's first ever flatsale! heart
Scroll down to find out how each crystal will be sold. _____
Crystal of Gaia Flatsale: Hydra Raffle
Teh_Hydra Shard I bet you're here because you want to participate in 0.333~ of the flatsale for the CoG shop. What's more, I'm going to predict that you're here to participate in the Hydra section of the flatsale. And it gets even better: I'm willing to bet you're shocked that I have managed to read your mind with as much ease and speed as I just did. domokun What can I say? I'm telepathic. (Moohaha. Proceed with caution.)
The future owner of this crystal will be determined through a raffle.
Raffle Information -*RULE UPDATE, PLEASE READ: Khel and Paper agreed that it would be very disappointing to only be able to participate in the raffle (or any single one of the three events) and then be denied the right to try for the other two should you not succeed the first time. So we're changing the rules: you are allowed to particpate in all three events. However, should you win one of the Elysians, you are not allowed to win another tonight. This is to keep owner diversity at the current maximum, as well as make the overall event more enjoyable and fair. Thank you! X3
Everyone starts out with one free 'ticket' for the raffle; to enter the raffle, however, one must present Kheleksul with their ticket.
Thread participation and activity can earn you extra tickets (and therefore, increase your chance of winning Hydra.)
Raffle numbers are determined by your post order - It's going to be too much of a hassle (with all of the things going on tonight) to let people choose your numbers. (When using a ticket, please bold the text. That way, I won't miss it. =D *preemptively apologises for missing posts, because I know it's going to happen*)
The raffle begins immediately after this post, and will continue throughout the night until the other two portions of the flatsale come to a close. This is to allow the maximum number of people enter, earn extra tickets, etc.
Kheleksul will post when the raffle-slots are closed. No stragglers, no exceptions; there will be plenty of time to squeeze your post in. @___@ After the slots are closed, we will be determining the raffle winner through Randomizer.Org. Then we can all rejoice and be merry.
Price: (This only applies to the winner of the raffle) Because the raffle is a free event, the only person who needs to pay anything (12k, send trade to "CrystalGuardian") is the utimate winner.
ON POSTING
No drama, no complaining. We're trying to do things as fairly and efficiently as we can. If you have a suggestion, you may pm CrystalGuardian with it, and we will get back to you ASAP.
Please do not post multiple times for the raffle unless you have earned extra tickets; chances are, I haven't missed your post, but things are going too fast for me to respond to. @___@;
Do not discourage/threaten other users from participating in the events.
The content of your post cannot just be the ticket. The raffle is going to be held in the main thread (so that Khel can also reward frequent posters.), and we don't want to clutter things up with unnecessary spam.
What? That thing above? Without further ado: take your ticket!

The first to post the correct answer to each question moves on to the finals. People who have moved to the finals may not answer anymore of the first round questions. Just sit tight.
Step Two
When the 8 finalists have been decided, their names will be announced by the CrystalGuardian. Shortly after that, there will be another set of questions presented. The questions will be posted in the thread by Paperghost, so keeep an eye out.
From there on, the first of the 8 finalists to PM CrystalGuardian with ALL of the correct answers will be the winner!
!IMPORTANT! Do not post answers to questions in the thread!! You may find the answers however you like, google it, ask a friend, JUST DON'T DO IT IN THE THREAD! Doing so will disqualify you from the entire flatsale.

Crystal of Gaia Flatsale: Asura RP Event
The prettiest shard. XDXD Not that the other shards aren't pretty, but this one is all rainbowy and stuff. XD I see you're interested in that last crystal here... Asura is the multi-faced Goddess who has apparently won herself a place in many hearts. I know this is non-sequitur, but I can guarantee you this right now: Kheleksul thinks her lineart is hawt. Anyhoo, this is the baby you're going for:
Prompt Information Time: 2 hours (RP sections must be turned in before "TIME")
Both sections must be turned in. (Sounds like homework. XD; )
Quote: Prompt 1:Asura has learned the spell 'Wall'.. how does she react to this new ability, and what sort of chaos ensues afterwards?
Quote: Prompt 2:Kheleksul sat in the corner, eyes transfixed on the crystal on the floor in front of her. The thing needed a summoner, and soon, if the colorful pulses of increasing strength could be taken as any sort of time indicator. Even reaching out with a hand to soothe the agitated crystal produced no calming effect, and the glowing colors continued to dance across the walls of the temple. Paper, having expressed her concerns towards the thing earlier, was now nowhere to be seen, and Khel was left with naught to do but play the substitute guardian. It really isn't bad, to be honest... almost like watching a display of the Northern Lights.CRASH!! Pandemonium resounded through the Temple. Most likely a direct result of the trivia contest.... Jarred out of her reverie, Kheleksul leapt to her feet. To solve the panic upstairs... or look after the crystal. Both must be done... She glanced around. Perfect. A substitute babysitter. The zombie thrusted the crystal into your hands, firmly saying "Look after it. If you drop or break it...." The threat was clear enough in her voice. What happens next? Do you follow the zombie? Or do you look after Asura's Crystal? BOTH?!
You may RP/respond as either yourself of your selected summoner.
Have fun!
Price:(This only applies to the winner of the raffle) Because the raffle is a free event, the only person who needs to pay anything (12k, send trade to "CrystalGuardian") is the utimate winner.

 Flatsale: 10/25 [Diablos]
Strangely, the energies in this shard appear to be exceedingly volatile. After some communing with the Prime Crystal, the Guardian decided that a summoning would not be safe to perform until the gateway was stabilized.
The Guardian revealed that a special Magical Lamp would be required in order to summon Diablos safely, but that she had no information on where it could be found... There may be several lamps that fit the description, but there is only one that will mend the gateway. Will you help her search for the right one...?
Page 1535 There are a number of magic jars scattered across the guild and the main threads, many are decoys but ONE holds the key to gaining the dark Crystal and Diablos - in order to win this dark crystal you must return all jars to the Highlord within the tavern so that she might inspect them for reasons of her own. Failure to do so and posting these oocly along with their locations will result in disqualification and possible black listing. Good luck!  [Starlet]
Alright, for this you have 12 hours to complete your entries, please send them to CrystalGuardian and answers only one of the prompts. Any entries that are grotesquely difficult to read (due to word corruption) will be disqualified.
Please title all entries as "RP PROMPT".
Thank you!
Prompt #1 Clip. Clip. Clip. His tiny feet tapped against the marble slab floor as he proceeded through the towering corridor, all around him he was completely surrounded by books and he couldn't help but feel a little lost - more importantly he appeared to be going round in multiple circles. Pursing his lips, he adjusted his little butter knife at his waist and continued his trek, hoping dearly for some sort of indication as to where he was...it was fortunate then that he soon found a peculiar mirror yet within it was not his reflection but yours. Canting his head to the side, your reflection seemed to follow him and with little care he sauntered towards the mirror, touching it briefly with his gloved hand to find (quite shockingly) that his hand could go through - a hidden exit! Delighted, he glanced around briefly and leapt through - unbeknownst to him...you replace him. You find yourself trapped in the maze-like library, surrounded by ancient tomes of great magic and meagre romance novels. With each step you take you can feel the thrum of magic from certain books and yet - a pause in your footsteps and every now and then you can hear the soft weeping from somewhere within the library, it appears disembodied and yet upon exploration you soon find yourself nearby a very plain tome. ...It is from here that the weeping seems to originate. Aghast! Starlet has been trapped within a book or so it would appear - somehow like Diablos this book functions as some form of anchor to Gaia and she, by mistake has been trapped in between! What on earth are you going to do? Note:- 1. You are in the Citadel of Regalia. 2. No one accept you is around.
Prompt #2 After spending a bit of time in the library at the temple you come across a book that doesn't seem like it belongs. Actually, upon opening it, you see that the pages are completely blank! How strange.. Thinking there must have been a mistake... or that perhaps it's one of those magic books with the invisible ink... you take it to a table and sit down to examine it more closely. As you flip through the pages you discover a single page covered in strange runes. Egads!! So it wasn't empty. Oddly the runes fade before your eyes until the paper is blank like all the others. More frantic flipping, spurred on by the thought that you broke the book, reveals that the symbols have just moved to a different page. Confound them! What a strange book... and even stranger, you seem to be able to understand some of the runes. Something about a seal, and a curse, and a few somethings more about summoning a Starlet. Whatever that is. As the runes continue to hop about the pages, you can't help but sense a saddness eminating from the book. There's definately something that needs to be done here... but what?  [Fenrir] ((This is Fenrir from IX, not VII. Paper will fix the error on the tag later. XD))
Trick or Treat! Well.. it's mostly unrelated, but I gotta put it in somewhere. 8D
There will will be a series of questions that must be answered via PM to the CrystalGuardian account. Answers must be preceded with "Trick or Treat!" to be eligible for the raffle. Answers posted in the thread will be disqualified. After a small window of time, people who answered correctly will be placed in a raffle and one winner will be chosen at random. ^^
The Task In order to meet the favour of Fenrir you must answer these four questions. Should you answer them correctly you will be entered into a raffle for Fenrir. Please send all answers to CrystalGuardian or they will be disqualified! 1. What Final Fantasy Games did Fenrir appear in? 2. When did Fenrir first appear in FF9? 3. What element is Fenrir? 4. What legend is Fenrir based on?
[Raffle participants:]
1. Allure
2. Quinny-chan
3. Dark Fire Angel
4. Apothecary
5. FirePhoenix
6. Teigra
7. kalindara
8. Aris Ravenstar

::R P . F L A T S A L E . S T A R L E T:: W I N N E R - Zymbu After spending a bit of time in the library at the temple you come across a book that doesn't seem like it belongs. Actually, upon opening it, you see that the pages are completely blank! How strange..
Thinking there must have been a mistake... or that perhaps it's one of those magic books with the invisible ink... you take it to a table and sit down to examine it more closely. As you flip through the pages you discover a single page covered in strange runes. Egads!! So it wasn't empty.
Oddly the runes fade before your eyes until the paper is blank like all the others. More frantic flipping, spurred on by the thought that you broke the book, reveals that the symbols have just moved to a different page. Confound them!
What a strange book... and even stranger, you seem to be able to understand some of the runes. Something about a seal, and a curse, and a few somethings more about summoning a Starlet. Whatever that is. As the runes continue to hop about the pages, you can't help but sense a saddness eminating from the book. There's definately something that needs to be done here... but what?
.::It wasn't everyday one found a book this fascinating. Especially this man, who was always on the lookout for such things. The only sounds that came from the area were the faint sounds of the pages as he rapidly flipped through them, his eyes narrowed as he searched out the rune like markings that had melted away. Almost like water as it dried under the hot sun. Or blood. Such a morbid thought, that. The water was much safer. But the magic that pulsed through this book... his fingers, his skin, every part of his body tingled from the excitement of it all. His ears were perked, dark blue markings that had been engraved there at his birth glowing and throbbing as it basked in the energy around him.
Though having to keep searching for the runes each time they moved was a bit tiring and annoying, but to a bookwork who lived for the abnormal, this was perfect. Almost like a twisted game of tag. One he refused to lose. Probably because he was a stubborn b*****d that way. His hair loose, which isn't a typical occurance due to the fact it was so long, he had to pause and shove aside each stray braid as it fell onto the paper. Stupid hair, stay out of the way! I wanna read about the Starlet, okay? Thanks so much. Starlet... Starlet... the name sounded familiar for some reason but when he tried to figure it, he drew nothing but blanks. Perhaps, if he could catch all of what the runes said, he would get it. Something about a curse... a seal... a summoning. But this book was so sad. Well, all right, let's rephrase. Not the book, but perhaps the being who put the magic inside this book. Or could be trapped into the book. Though such assumptions weren't exactly best to make. Especially in cases like this... he should know better, being the magic user that he was. All during his Rewrites, he was immersed in magic. It was basical knowledge.
Finally, he stopped and just started at the page, watching the runes bleed away from his sight once more, leaving nothing but pristine pureness behind. His mind was working, his ears shifting slowly as he pondered. He was meant to be doing something. How he knew that wasn't exactly easy for him to put a finger upon, but it was just simply known. What could he do to made this being happy? Pale brows drew together as he ran a finger along the binding in the center of the book, white mist escaping his lips as he breathed out, a reaction of such close contact of this much energy. What could he do? Flicking back through the pages again, he found the runes again, he read over them again, his own magic unknowingly flaring into being. His ear markings burned as he felt his energy try to meet this energy.. see if there was a way to make with a happy medium. It was something that he did without thinking...
His eyes grew heavy and he felt drowsy and a bit sleepy, so he allowed them to close. It was like a song was flow.. a sad song reaching his subconscious hearing and he fainted hummed along with it. Loneliness. That's what it reminded him of. The bitter sting of loneliness that he felt on a constant basis. Was this being lonely as well? Without realizing that he was singing it aloud, or what his body was doing, his hand floated up a bit, a feather tipped quill appearing before his slim fingertips. Though he was considered a giant of a man, he had some 'girlish' features about him. But he didn't notice it or seemed to care. A light blue glow sparked from the tip before it settled onto the blank page and slowly began to scribe down a few of the runes that he felt were familiar to him.
But as he wrote, his eyes opened a bit and he looked over what he wrote. His writing was a bit more elegent than the runes from what he had noticed, but his words were simple and clear.
You are not alone anymore... Dire Wings It felt like falling into a dream.
The mirror's cool reflection a refreshing lethargy that kept him subdued rather than shook.
Where am I?
The words seemed to echo from behind where he noticed a darkness emanating from the shifting mirror. The only light came from a small lamp that flowed up and down when he directed his right arm. He placed a warm palm against the formless mirror, finding a small olive hand pressing gingerly back. This fixation was halted by a shift in the floor as he had unconsciously stepped forward. Breaking the touch with the small figure in the mirror, he leaned to the side, restless silver hair blurring his vision of his normal foot and the normal marble floor. But on closer inspection, the man could see a glowing rift in the tile encircling his boot-clad feet, throbbing with a dull intensity.
He experimentally picked his foot up and placed it down again, the rubber met the marble tentatively and another zing went through his spine.
Coupled with voices.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood erect as his body froze, using only his wide crimson eyes to survey. No one was around. No breathing. No echoing footsteps.
Licking his dry lips, he took another step, listening to the voices that whispered to each other as he came closer to walls and corridors of books. Another step and the chills grew stronger, the voices more coherent as they talked to him and to themselves.
Where are you going?
Help me...
Who are you?
Help me...
He's coming over here...
Help me...
A lonely cry isolated itself from the gossiping and cooing of women that swam through the air like stale perfume. But this voice... so dry and mournful, but it sang so beautifully.
Determining that the fissures that quaked his body grew stronger one way and weaker another, the silver-haired man found himself stalking step after aching step through the library. It was only when the merciless quakes had him falling into a shelf did they stop, with his back against the shelf and flat on his rear with a thick book accompanying him on his journey to the shifting floor.
Only after placing a few dark fingers on the book could he feel the strong throbbing that was inlaid in each sunken and sad page of the decrepit but elegant book that he earnestly opened. Pages of incomprehensible scrawl that looked more like a retarded child's feeble attempts at art rather than a language left him tired and careless with the book as he sighed in annoyance. Only then did the book get its revenge when he cut his finger on the tip of the paper.
Cursing, he tried to pinch off the source of the crimson fluid only succeeding in dropping the red warmth onto the pages of the book. The red blots had savagely destroyed a crude drawing of a resting woman, immaculate white and auburn in face and body. As it dribbled away, peculiar warmth began to envelope him and a dreary and sickly sweet sensation flowed within. Flowing gossamer blue began to envelope his senses as glowing hands, seemingly carved from ivory, held his fingers tenderly. Embracing his palm, the irritating sting dissolved and the gorgeous smile of a young brunette filled his red eyes. Allure Beads of sweat formed upon Allure's hairline, and dripped between the wake of her furrowed brow. The salty liquid stung as it slithered past her eyes, although she would not dare close those eyelids - for fear of missing what exactly happened within this moment. Joints cracked, and popped as that fist formed, then was slowly released. Twenty digits could soon be seen, face to face with eachother, before the mirror. They seemed to laugh, and mock one another .. for they did not reveal what had truly occured. She was sent through the gateway, and now .. the enterance proved to no longer be an exit. Hope did not have time to escape from her heart, for it was distracted by the faint murmurs which eminated down the hallway. Books, books, and more books. There was so much literature she was practically drowning in lush information. It suffocated her, enveloped her, she was ready to escape. A hand was lifted to her chest, and her fingers found solice burried deep within the confines of her shirt. They curled and clung, pulling at the fabric until it started to tear. The unpleasurable sound of ripping cloth was the only audible entity that entered into her mind besides the weeping.
'Am I going crazy..?' Allure thought to herself, letting her hand continue to have a mind of it's own, and absorb the warmth of her flesh. The beating vibrations of her heart seemed to be somewhat in tune with the sadness. Was it calling to her? Was it asking her to help? Dry lips pressed against one another, and began to part, dragging now dead flakes of skin along with them. The pain was nothing, plus, the blood stained her lips a cheery red color - the only lively part of the entire situation. As if sensing this, a nearby tome cried out painfully. This caused shock to travel down Allure's spine, paralyzing her momentarily.
"W-what..?" She whimpered, narrowing her gaze upon whatever the essence could have been. Instead of being shrouded in fear, she was consumed by the overwhelming sadness. It was difficult to control, and difficult to accept. Piercing pains tickled across her inner arms, and traveled towards her heart. The area in which her fingers previously torn away at was now throbbing like mad. It was no longer her own life, beating rhythmically ... but instead that of an outside source. Could this book be the cause of the horrible sadness? Outstretching those arms .. she grasped the tome within her hands, and brought it closely for an embrace. The moment that the leatherbound cover touched her chest, she felt an intense connection with the whimpering spirit.
"Are you lonesome, spirit?" The question was not proposed in an analytical manner, but instead with genuine care and concern. The essence seemed to latch onto Allure .. engulfing her in the feeling of comfort, like a large warm blanket had been placed around her during a cold winter's storm. Even though she felt somewhat comforted, the crying continued. Allure pressed her fingers tightly against the book .. caressing it gently. Letting it hear the beating heart, even if it was not her own. 'Perhaps it just needs a friend in this lonely maze of a library..?' she asked herself.
But it still wailed and cried .. Allure could not stand it. Her mind became clouded with memories of horrible events and disfortune, of loneliness and despair. She tried her hardest to attempt to bring light into the situation .. to cure whatever ailment this creature posessed. But as much as she tried, nothing could win over the sadness. Eventually, Allure gave in. She started to care so deeply for this tome, that it physically hurt her to hear its cries.
Tears formed within her eyes, they created a glossy finish across azure spheres. They began to accumulate behind her lower eyelids, but soon they would encounter freedom. Like water bursting from a tight confinement, her tears traveled down her smooth cheeks, enjoying the journey across each of her facial curves. Soon they would meet at her chin, and condense into something larger, and greater. Such emotion was contained within these tears .. stories, memories, nostalgia, care and concern made up that lukewarm liquid.
Drip. Drip. Drop.
Released from her chin, the tears fell freely .. but were soon to be encountered with the top of the book.
Splat!
The moment that Allure's liquid emotion touched upon the leather binding, the tome began to glow. Brighter and brighter .. warmer and warmer, it enraged. The screaming cries grew louder -- What had Allure done!?
Heat relished and engulfed the book, causing Allure to drop it to the ground. Dust which had accumulated over the endless boundaries of time attempted to escape the flames, and expelled outwards in a faint cloud. Embers flew violently, mixed with the shadow of dark gray dust made it hard for Allure to distinguish what was occuring next. She lifted both of her arms to cover her eyes protectively, while one hand instinctively wiped her tears away.
Finally, when everything had calmed .. the book was gone. Allure gasped in relief, and disappointment.
"I am Starlet." A resinating voice could be heard, it was almost like a song which warmed the heart and soul. "Thank you .. For freeing me. For caring for me." The sound was heaven upon Allure's ears, it seemed to cure every bit of sadness she had within her heart. It brought that light, that joy back into her soul. And, it caused the remaining tears to evaporate from her formerly dampened skin.
"Now, another journey must begin," The spirit continued. "I shall help you on your journey ... And I shall be by your side, just as you were to mine."
A smile curled upon Allure's face. An expression she thought she would never make again. Seiei Eagerly I begin flipping throught the pages, looking for some sort of ending. All I find are the same runes over and over again. I cut my finger on a page and blood slides onto a fading rune. The rune seemed to shudder and th page came back with bold print. Confused I studdy the page more closely, it looked mere like a badly drawn picture now. Seeing this I squezze another drop form my finger and the image becomes clearer. The book shuddered and a faint whisper came from it. It said "Help...me..." and the image became clearer than any crystal. "What the.." I thought. The book floated into the air and became shrouded in light and a figure steped slowly out of the book.

The chocobo whose number came up for last will be removed from the competition. *The first chocobo removed in this fashion will recieve a Sky ticket for being a good sport XD* The chocobo whose number came up for first will recieve a raffle ticket-- and if they so choose, the winner may exchange the ticket for their choice of any normal familiar.
___These little races will continue until we are down to two. At this point I'm sure the chocobos will be tired, so instead, the finalists will race on foot from one end of the island to the other. This last roll will take place in the main thread. When one of the staff signals the start of the race, each finalist will roll one d100. The winner of the race, and the new blue familiar, is the one with the highest number. (The higher you roll, the faster you ran XD For RP purposes.)

.dice game. Epine de Rose [--B E G I N . E V E N T--]
The azure lights of the tavern dimmed as the velvet curtains began to reel themselves open, slowly but surely the marble stage was revealed and once again the dandy known as Vincent stood upon it, however this time he was not alone and instead surrounding him were a number of die of various sizes...granted they appeared to be inanimate and too heavy to use but they pointed towards something.
Still, his gaze pointed towards the floor and both hands rested upon his cane he waited patiently for the curtains to completely open and then looked up with a mischevious smile locked upon his lips - the twinkle in his eye and slight 'kick' in his step that would follow could only indicate his excitement.
"Ladies and Gentleman, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Winter's Festival hosted by the wonderful owners of the Turtle's Paradise. Tonight, I have been invited all the way from Durem to host the opening events which I assure will be both light hearted and yet increasingly satisfying." He cleared his throat and with a flurry of his cane knocked the top hat from his head and into his other hand before stepping to the front of the stage.
"Now my friends, as you know there are a great many events awaiting you - first and foremost I would like to point you in the direction of the artwork on the wall which you are encouraged to create captions for (see Pg2 of thread) and then without further adue." Again a pause as he set his top hat upon the dice beside him and clasped his cane in both hands once more.
"What I present to you tonight is but a game of chance and luck, what you ask, could this possibly be?" A dramatic gesture of his cane to the oversized dice and he released a chuckle, "Well my friends, the game is relatively simple - you may take as many chances as you like at this game until the winners are found. All that I ask is that you mimic the same dice that I use and do not become malicious if you fail to win anything."
Clearing his throat, he at last moved across the stage again and began to move his cane slowly across the cresent shape as if in thought, "There will be ten winners, in this game of chance - the odds are undoubtably higher in some circumstances but I suppose the winner will simply prove how lucky they are."
"Thus, without further adue I will turn to Pudge -" He paused briefly as Pudge gave a wave of his hand and allowed the bags of dice to fall upon each table and the bar counters, "And encourage you to pick up your die as I make the treasured rolls - those who match my rolls will be the winners!"
With that he fell silent as he withdrew the dice from his coat pocket and tossed them across the floor of the stage in a somewhat determined manner.
"The numbers required to win this event are as follows: 1, 3, 59, 14, 82, 40, 73, 98, 87, 13...You may only win once, call me if you wish to claim a prize!"
And thus, the event began...Rules of the Game 1. All posts and rolling must be done through In Character Posts, no OOC rolls as this is an IC Event.
2. All rolls must be done using a 100 sided die (Post Action button).
3. You may only claim one prize.
4. You must icly claim it by asking Vincent to confirm your roll.
5. You may proxy and give your prize away to a friend if you really want to.
6. Do not complain if you don't win.
7. Have fun!
Vincent knocked at the edge of the stage with his cane as he cleared his throat and turned to address the audience with a hint of a smile upon his lips. Cheery and ever so slightly under the influence of alcohol, he was now suitably more relaxed - that and he seemed to have cleared some of the air with the 'slap-happy' Saevem (who was now nestled comfortably at the table beside Koniryu and Akiya again).
"Ladies and gentlemen it is at last time to announce the prizes of the first two festival events. These events are of course the Dice Game and the brief encounter with Pudge's 'I Spy'." He cleared his throat as he rested his weight against his cane and motioned to each of the tables idly.
"By now you are aware of the fact that four of you have won the I Spy contest and ten of you have won silver tickets - in the next thirty seconds these tickets will transform into something of interest to each and everyone one of you, I hope you enjoy them!" He piped up merrily and glanced towards Pudge before nodding.
"To those who successfully won the I Spy contest - You have each received an Ahriman from the -" He froze and seemed to stare at the large winged eyeball with legs that now appeared to be floating beside his head, "From the depths of the Temple forest..." He murmured coolly before shaking his head.
"For everyone else!" He snapped his fingers and the silver tickets gave a shiver before beginning to reform!Dice Game Prize Pick-Up Anyone who has won a prize may only redeem it after the festival is over. If it is a familiar/prize you may RP icly acquiring it but you must wait until after the festival to name/claim the reward from the mule so that your familiar can be certed or edited accordingly.

Winter Festival - Second Day event: "I SPY"It would be right to assume that todays festivities were going much slower than usual - granted it was due to the lack of notice revolving around the event that was event to occur (well it had been pulled together in the space of thirty seconds following the Dice Games after all)! Nevertheless, the mage had performed a suitable miracle with the help of both shop keepers and passers-by to the point that he had successfully formulated another game for today.
This event was by no means impressive in detail but it was just as fun (if not more so) that the Dice game that had been provided to them in the previous afternoon - this game was in fact...
"I Spy!" He announced merrily as he leapt to his feet and clapped his hands together, a bright smile lingering across the youthful feature as he observed the small crowd of patrons within the bar - the fact that there were so few in number would make this game suitably more easy to 'control' than any of the other foreseeable ones.
"I Spy with my little eye, something that is large, azure and eye-pleasing. It begins with the letter 'f'!" He chirped with equal enthusiasm as the game began.Rules of the Game 1. NPCs/Characters may only be used in ONE I Spy.
2. If an NPC catches you using them as an 'I Spy' and they voice this then you forfeit your turn to them.
3. One prize each, any other prizes won must be proxied.
4. You must keep in character throughout this game.
5. The game will last ONE HOUR
6. Anyone count cheating through PM will be disqualified (trust me I'll know).
HOW TO PLAY____.
1. You must post three adjectives as clues as well as the starting letter of the person or thing you wish to use in your post.
2. You must then make IC guesses and WAIT for the person to respond with the 'Right' or 'Wrong' declaration.
3. Wrong declarations will result in reguesses until the right object or person is sighted.
Goodluck! <3 I Spy Winners After the festival is over will the following people please PM the name of their Ahriman to CrystalGuardian. I ask this because the mule will be otherwise occupied during the event and we may unfortunately lose the messages.
1. ~Masamune~
2. Arcturus Highwind
3. Mordavrin
4. DFA

kheleksul Familiar SILENT AUCTION!
There is a note hastily taped on the door of Turtle's Paradise:
Sorry I can't be in tonight, folks! I guess you'll just have to find your own ale ... ya know, just... for tonight. :]
I, however, have a little issue I need to settle regarding a couple of feral familiars I've found lurking around the island. I don't think they'll like life in the Tavern (not in their blood, I suppose). So if you're one to take a familiar on a grand adventure, be it's friend and companion (for life?), and only covertly pamper it, I think I have a deal for you!
Here's a photo of them familiars that're up for grabs:
CrystalGuardian [I'm sure you're all just wound up with suspense.... I mean, who WON THE SILENT AUCTIONS?!
Winter Festival: Silent Auction Winners!
 And the winner, with a HB of 200k, of Torama is... Dustfeather!  And the winner, with a HB of 102k, of Catoplebas is... ~Masamune~!  And the winner, with a HB of 80k, of the Artemecian moogle is... Quinny-chan!
Congradulations to the winners! heart Please send your respective trades to CrystalGuardian, and send a PM with the name for your new familiar after the winter festival ends. ^^
I'm sorry we couldn't provide prizes to everyone who bid, but I hope you all had fun! heart
*khel poofles off, to be ... err... polite. >>''* ]

//CHOCOBO RACES// [Chocobo Races!] Why not show off that spiffy costume astride a noble blue chocobo?
Prize(s): |Grand:Blue chocobo familiar|
Run by: Paradise staff.
Date: 1/27/06
Time: 1:30pm(PST)
Official Rules: People who want to take part must send 1k to the CG account for a racing badge. You will have 30 minutes, or until there are 10 participants, to buy your badge before racer registration is closed. Once the registration is closed, no more badges may be purchased. *Note again, the max number of participants is 10! So get your badge while you can* The staff will gather together the blue chocobos: one for each participant to ride. Chocobos will all be numbered and assigned in the order that the badges were given out. Riders *must* name their chocobos by 2:30pm. Keep in mind this name will transfer to the blue chocobo familiar should you win. Also~ In the spirit of the event, try to think of something that would be befitting of a racing animal. ^^
___Races will start at 3pm (PST), and they will take place in a guild thread. Basically each race is a simple roll of two dice: one for first, and one for last. The chocobo whose number came up for last will be removed from the competition. *The first chocobo removed in this fashion will recieve a Sky ticket for being a good sport XD* The chocobo whose number came up for first will recieve a raffle ticket-- and if they so choose, the winner may exchange the ticket for their choice of any normal familiar.
___These little races will continue until we are down to two. At this point I'm sure the chocobos will be tired, so instead, the finalists will race on foot from one end of the island to the other. This last roll will take place in the main thread. When one of the staff signals the start of the race, each finalist will roll one d100. The winner of the race, and the new blue familiar, is the one with the highest number. (The higher you roll, the faster you ran XD For RP purposes.) Raffle Ticket Winners DFA x3
