Welcome to Gaia! ::

Miache Gahiji Maiahh Gaahhe

Fake fur....that was passible. Someone of his fine tastest would've PREFERRED real fur to some....synthetic fake....but he could make it look good. It certainly didn't FEEL as nice as real fur though. He set the item on the counter as he continued unpacking, pulling out the feathers next. Hm....well, one way or another it seemed he would going for a lusus-themed outfit.....it could work. Next was the fiber optic fabric, clearly the most interesting thus far. Miache rolled the fabric in his hands, appreciating the way it glowed. Fantastic! And he could certainly make the items work for the circus theme! He pulled out the last item and froze, giving the item a most disdainful look. Googly eyes.....clearly someone must have entered it as a joke item.

Miache sighed heavily before wrapping the fabric around the doll, making a bodysuit of the lumiescent material, tugging it around the neck to fold over, leaving the shoulders bare. The material was fitted around the legs into rather short shorts, pinning it in place. The fur was cut apart, shaped into both a short vest and sash that was pinned at the doll's left hip. A hairband was fashioned with the feathers and googly eyes, the feathers crafting a rather billowing look with the eyes lining the hairband. More feather down was attached along the neckline of the bodysuit. Quite the artistic look if he did say so himself!

I FORGOT ITS 4D20 NOT THREEEEE OOPS

Punkie looked around for the usual troll that hosted this booth and saw no one... She swatted a few trolls who were taking too many items and proceeded to lecture a group of looters on proper conduct and manners. Then she turned to her own doll and got to work. Aliens huh... Well Punkie was no cheater and she stuck to the 4 materials rule. Punkie painted the doll all a weird salmon color first, then added one googly eye right in the center. With the cotton she made a tweed jacket and lined it with fur. Yes, no one in their right mind would wear something like that. She giggled and added a jeweled button for good measure. They were really growing on her.

Nucleo had plenty of time to work on his mo-doll. He'd spent most of the day lounging in Amonee's bean bag extraordinaire. Still struggling with what to do over Elidae, he'd spent most of the day playing with the various craft supplies without really thinking. Amonee had mentioned something about aliens before dashing off so he decided to make one as a thank you for dealing with his booth for him.

First he used some pipe cleaners to make tendrils that flew out in many directions. Then he covered the various pipe cleaners with denim, cashmere, silk, and satin. Each tendril was covered in a different pliable fabric. At the end of each tendril he attached a feather. It dawned on him that he needed a good way to attach this framework to the outfit so he used some duct tape to secure the base of the tendrils to a leather undersuit. He then cut some holes in the fake fur to shove the tendrils through and then draped it over the leather undersuit. It was looking good but could still use a little more work. Oh he knew! Shoving the can of silly string inside the leather bodysuit, he cut a slit in top of the fake fur to create an opening for a mouth and stuck the nozzle of the silly string pointed out. If someone squeezed the outfit, the mouth would spit out silly string! Next he cut some teeth shapes out of the satin and used the wild card to allow himself the use of a hot glue gun to glue them at the edge of the mouth opening. Hmmm not shiny enough. He added some rhinestones to the teeth to make them more prominent.

It had a definite monster feel to it but he felt unsatisfied. It didn't scream alien. But wait! The bubble wrap! The fiber optic fabric! YES! Cutting another hole at the crown of the head, Nucleo glued in some of the fiber optic fabric. It made sort of a pocket so he dropped a handful of jeweled buttons inside and then borrowed some fish line for his second wild card. He used the fish line to sew some bubble wrap over this weird pocket of crazy colors and glam and grinned. It gave the alien the appearance of having an exposed brain full of crazy shifting colors and lights! Yes this was more like it!

All that was left was some eyes. He glued eight googly eyes in between the brain and mouth and called it good. This was sure to amaze Amonee when he returned!

Aliens. He huffed a laugh at the theme. Well, fair enough. Just what WOULD an alien wear? Probably something weird...something primative. He really couldn't see aliens being as advanced as them, he'd heard stories of how trolls had conquered other, inferior species....so just how DID he picture them? Miache eyed the doll, pacing around it thoughtfully. Items of his own choosing, eh?

The pipe cleaners and silly string he fashioned into hair, bending the pipe cleaners back into the shape of a ponytail, and spraying the silly string in a show of very clear 'messy hair'. He stuck feathers in the hair, looking rather....unorganized for his usual taste, but fit the image he was going for. The fur he wrapped around the body of the doll, tying it closed with a leather belt and finishing with leather mocasins. Miache stepped back to eye his work proudly. Yes, it looked very....primative....barbaric! OH! But the final touch! Miache couldn't help the impish grin as he stuck two googly eyes in place of real ones. It looked VERY silly! He was rather proud of his creativity.

SPECIAL EVENT
Rollover!

Amonee had come in early to unveil the challenge whiteboard with the next theme for any interested designers. There was a note left on the board that announced he was covering for his friend again and to please come visit the Nightly Grind should anyone need to contact him! In smaller print it says to let him immediately if Nucleo Glatte was sighted around Bloodfest that night...

NEW THEME: GOTHIC

Amonee is out of the booth! You are free to grab ANY materials you want to work with as he is not around to enforce the grab bag policy. You may skip rolling 4d20 and just use whatever you like for this round!

If drawing a sketch is easier, please feel free to post that instead of a written description! The 100 words requirement has been lifted but you must include some kind of description of what your troll makes! Please try to have your posts filled before midnight if you can. The rollover is pretty lax and I'm willing to wait a little late for last minute additions but try to do your best!

Seen it. Seen it. Maybe- nope, seen it.

Nucleo flipped through the channels on Amonee's television while lounging in his bean bag arena, feeling lousy. He was mad at himself for feeling so torn up over this, even after having a nice long talk with his friends. What did he have to do to feel better about it?

"E-elidae?" And suddenly she was here, right beside him. Flustered by her appearance, he turned and saw her smiling so sweetly. She offered him soup and showed concern over him and his pumpbiscuit oh how it soared. Keenly aware of his feelings now, the boy smiled sheepishly at himself. Was it really this unsuppressible?

"Yeah, sorry about that." The greenblood laughed apologetically. He hadn't remembered that he'd asked her to come by, stupid! Feeling bad, he wasn't sure if he should bring it up and make it awkward or just play it off as whatever. How casual should he act? It was strange to be so aware of himself now in her presence. Was it always like this? It was so hard to be natural when he wanted to impress her and yet at the same time didn't because she...

"I was just a little overwhelmed. I'm sure you know the feeling what with you running a booth too. You should get back to it." Maybe the kindest thing to do would be to fade out. He didn't want to get in her way after all. His chest tightened at the thought.

"I'm gonna head back to the hotel anyway. See you round." He didn't know now how he'd regret this decision.
