Maru, I'll post up a little description type thing with some decorations for the area Belwen will have. Was thinking of describing it as being set up with a bunch of stencils and such...so she can create the little graphics things. Maybe make one for each Phlegm in the area...and use those as examples.

Like I'll make up Cash's since I know what colors he'll want. And anyone else that wants one just post what colors.

Also, should I make decorative things for posts?

...I have some vine sort of looking things I could get some made up, make them green since it is suppose to be the inside of a pumpkin.

I was thinking that when they come in, any visitors are given 2 lunes to use as they see fit. Drinks and things all would all cost money and the Ouroboros spell by the twins would cost 1 Lune, what they don't use, they can keep?

User Image I like it.

So everyone that is 'selling' things would have some price involved?

Edit:

Alright, this is suppose to be a pumpkin correct? Perhaps if you want to do a 3D image for the first post, of the outside type area with a door open and some message about welcoming them inside. Then each post could have boarders of some sort. Just a suggestion because it sounded like you were going to try and 3D image all rooms and won't have time.

If you don't have time we could just do the outside leading in, and maybe a few images inside and then fancy up other posts without having to make rooms.

Ideas for ways to make posts fancy would be border type things...something like what is next to my post here.

Random thought about the money thing, it sounds like a pretty neat idea..but where is the money coming from?

If we wanted since it is an enchanted and propped up sort of atmosphere maybe they could instead use fake money (like monopoly monies). Say that the coins are made of hard wax in Phlegm colors and are to represent the different amounts.

Also, though it may not be overly needed, someone could always play banker to the fake money...a bit of an rp thing wandering around and making sure everyone has enough of what they need.

Fake Money look thinger


It was kinda of a random thought, but however everyone wants it done is alright by me.

I'll have Belwen's post things up before I go into the hospital to have labor induced tomorrow so you'll at least have that.

I like the idea of fake money! And we could even have cute little names for it ...

Like uhm. Oh. I dunno. Pumpkins and seeds maybe? Since the whole theme is a pumpkin ... so we could call the coins that too?

And I should be able to get on AIM sometime this weekend, Ely :3

Pumpkins and seeds sounds cute. >.< If people like the idea I could make orange and brown variations.

Pumpkins would be the orange and seeds the brown.

Edit: Because I'm a nerd...how about.

Pumpkins, seeds, and vines

have the worth be something like.

Vines are worth 10 pumpkins,
A pumpkin is worth 10 seeds.

If we introduce the fake money idea, we could perhaps have a 'gambling' section of the tavern thing.

Come up with some game that can be played on the forums, and let people bet against each other. Maybe try and come up with a shop with prizes in them that can be bought at the end of the night...so people will have more of a reason to want more of the fake monies.

Over a small table various stencils, pens, and paints. Various easels are set up, art supplies nearby; the hostess of this corner of the tavern hums happily as she bustles around the various easels turning to look at you as you approach.

Belwen's cotton candy colored hair is pulled up in intricate curls on top of her head a painters hat balanced on top of it gives the form fitting smock she wears a bit of added flair. Grinning slightly she waves anyone nearby that hasn't stopped by over, "tonight I offer you my skills, just tell me what your heart desires and for five pumpkins I can create it for you."

Stepping to the side she motions her hand over a few examples laid out on various small easels.

Easel 1 Easel 2 Easel 3

"If your interested in a piece of art feel free to tell me what text, colors, and sorts of shapes you would like. If not I would enjoy having you settle down and rest with me.

Feel free to fill whatever in that you think could add to it. But that is the general idea for Belwen's corner. An artist sitting in the corner of a café or tavern...offering little pieces of art for money.

I suggested real money because the spell that Aureus and Argentum will be casting will be an actual spell from the lists - Ouroboros. It would have to cost money since you're getting something you can use in duels and battles, etc etc. It's not something that'll decorate an Empyrean's wall - it enchants their ouroboros with a single charge of the spell, which acts like a shield. It should be restricted because of that.

Otherwise, I think a fake money idea is great. Just keep in mind that my contribution has an IC impact. ^_^

Hmm o.o

Well I guess for that one thing Empyrs could pay real money if they want it.

And then for all the rest, use the fake money?

Ah! Could do something like ... charge a small fee in real money to get in - which would pay for a certain amount of fake money?

And if they want more fake money they can exchange more real money... XD;;;

Then the spell could be "paid for" with the fake, but later on the twins could just pull out whatever real money they need?

Or is that too complicated...?
PostPosted: Fri Oct 05, 2007 6:06 pm


Well the thing with the twins is that if they are using a real spell...giving money to those that enter kind of defeats the purpose of making people pay.

Since the money they would be using isn't something they actually earned really...

Or for the twins is it more that the spell will cost since it is something useful and they should be paid for it?

If so...let me see how much monies Belwen has. Worse comes to worse she could offer to reimburse them.

I'm not overly worried about how things go...but I did like the Vines, Pumpkin, and Seed idea...just because it went along with the enchanted pumpkin thing.

Anyways, real or not...seems safe to say there will be money of some sort.

Question is though...were do the lunes come from?

I don't think we should charge for anyone entering. Entering gets you money that you can then spend or save. it's a up to you. So potentially, someone could walk out with 2 lunes for simply looking at the tavern.

Zeros have no money. ^^ Unless they have a job and are actively earning credits. My twins would be happy to provide the money at the door. As whatever's left over would be part of the prize for whomever goes through the tavern.

And the reason there'd be a price attached to the spell is because people would have to choose whether or not they want the spell - they won't be doing this again, and if they do, they'll be charging more. They don't care if they make money off this or not - they've jobs in the infirmary and dreaming pool as is - and it's a festival. Basically they're offering one of their abilities as a good to be 'purchased' during the event.

It's not so much making people pay as it is getting people to spend wisely. It would essentially be giving the people who go through the tavern a gift which they can then spend or save as they see fit. One of the things they could spend their gift on would be the spell.

Am I making sense now? It's not about making money. ^^
PostPosted: Sat Oct 06, 2007 4:05 am


Ah, alright. I was just a bit confused as to where the monies were coming from.

I don't have a problem with giving out Lunes at the door. And since Belwen was part of the Mandrake event I don't mind sharing her funds with the effort.

And I wasn't thinking of the Dreaming Pool when I posted. *blames the drugs*

I'll edit up Belwen's post and either charge little to nothing for the artsy. Since they are generally easy to create.
