[Pumpkin Carving Contest]




You come upon a canary yellow tent, pumpkins piled high on all sides. This has to be the location for the pumpkin carving contest. There is no sign, so you poke your head inside just to be sure.

"Come to enter a pumpkin for the contest?" The old man's brown skin is covered in wrinkles and deep folds, and his bibbed overalls sag loosely on his thin frame. "On'y a small fee, and you can grab yer pumpkin outside."

Why not? You pay the man his fee and make off with your pumpkin.


---------------------------------------


Alrighty, this is a chance to show off your artistic skills and design your own pumpkin! Pretty simple, eh?

RULES:
1. You must draw the pumpkin yourself. From scratch. No templates, commissioning someone else to draw it, etc.

2. You must have it posted in this thread by Oct. 31.

3. Winner will be chosen via poll. In case of a tie, Sari will cast the deciding vote.

4. While more than one of your characters may participate (especially Heralds and their owners) you may only win metaplot credit for one entry. Please also keep all your characters' submissions in the same post.

MODERATOR: Sarielle
METAPLOT CREDITS: 1 for entering, 5 more if you win.

Elf walked back to the tent, her pumpkin carved. She blew the plastic streamers that decided it was time to get in her way.

Finally reaching the table, she set the pumpkin down and opened the top to light the candle inside. The woman stepped back with a smile, surveying the carved piece of gourd -sp-.

It was kinda kute... yet crudely made. It was definately feline, that could not be missed because of the whiskers and then really because of the cat ears that were added up top. What would throw most people was the pompom Elf had inserted in the top of the head pumpkin. What was it? A growth? Hair? Who knows... just one of those random things Elf does....

"I suppose there's a reason they have detailing tools for pumpkin carving...." A young woman murmured from her seat before a pumpkin; having just shelled out the goop from the inside and meaning to strain the seeds out later on. Looking over the assorted knives and hole punching items beside her that she had bought for her own pumpkin. "Though how does one ever know which to use first?"

She hadn't come in long ago, having paid the man his fee for a pumpkin and was currently drawing out a face on the orange rine. Having used washable ink so as to try a multitude of designs, the only one she had drawn on there was all ready starting to come into a simple design. A spooky face, round triangles for eyes, no nose, and a curvey-crooked smile. Happy with her design, she used a normal carving knife to cut it out. "Ohh!!" The initial cut for the eye left a cut farther down than she would have liked, though the effect brought an idea into her mind. She mended the extra cut- by putting in a scar over one eye of the pumpkin. Grinning at her creation, she made sure the inside was clean before putting in the candle and replacing the lid. "Done!"

Suboshi walked towards the tent, pumpkin held by the tips of her fingers (covered in thick work gloves) that were extended as far away from her body as possible. She made Ati trail after her, ready to put out the pumpkin if it got out of controll.
Needless to say, the hippocampus was not happy and 'Lind wanted to see the pumpkin explode.

She carefully set the pumpkin down on a patch of bare earth in the tent, away from anything flamable, before wiping the sweat off of her forehead and casting a critical eye over the rotund orange squash.

Obviously, someone has a bit too much fun with the matches and candles.
