Welcome to Gaia! ::

What: Short writing contest
Starts: Monday, Jan 20th @ Right now
Ends: Monday, Jan 27th @ 9PM PST
Who: Newbies!

Day is a purveyor of questionably quality goods from the Inbetween and the Barrows. She is always looking for new goods and items to subject others too sell. Your job is to impress her. Find something, and tell her what it is, where it’s from, and what you think it does. You only need to write 3 sentences, but you can write more. The most interesting item presented to Day will win this amulet!

(It's a girl)

Ex:

“I found this pale root-like thing. It came from Sully’s dirty sock pile. I think it gives demons constipation.”

Rules:
Newbies only! (2 or fewer winiko*)
You must have a minimum of 3 sentences!
No whining- Day will eat you if you do.
Under no circumstance are you to put down any entry. (So don’t even call your entry crappy!)
Keep it clean, guys. Use your better judgment.
Items don't need to be something the shop would carry. This is a silly thing for a user-owned wini's strange habits. Have fun with it!
Only post submissions here. All chatter and questions should be posted in the main thread.

Use this form, please!








*If you have 2 demons from the shop, and are waiting for an OOPS! baby, or if you are getting a semi/custom from the luau, or a meiko from the inventory reconciliation, then you technically have 3 or more wini, and we’re just slow, sorry!

** Please direct any questions to Lural via the shop's main thread. Lural backreads like a fiend, your questions are not likely to be missed. <3

1/23 edit: Hey, I think you guys are completely missing the point here. You're trying to impress Day with something that she can sell to either other wini or to the humans who care for them.

Hey hey, look what I found!
Username: Menelie
Enticing find: Hey I found this thing behind my dryer. It, uh, appears to be sort of sentient? It had a half-eaten sock hanging out of its mouth. It's soft and smells like dryer sheets and even though it has no eyes it tried to bite my ankles when I came near. So it definitely eats socks, and possibly also explains why when I wash towels more lint is in my lint trap than could possibly have been on my towels. Anyway, how much can I get for it?

Enticing find: Me. Look at me, I'm, the best. Just bask in the majesty that is me- You can thank me later.

Day looked at the objects the silly humans brought to her and smiled. Ah, it was refreshing to know humans were still at the beck and call of demon-kind. Some of the items she had no use for, others caused her to raise an eyebrow, but not much more. But one caught her interest. Or rather, the interest of her familiar. At the offering of a living ball of lint, both demon and familiar's eyes lit up, and Day snatched the sock-eating lint thing from Menelie, resting it between her paws as she inspected it, almost playing with it like a cat would a mouse. After a while, she settled one paw on it and picked at the lint gently with a paw.

"Hm... You have an interesting find here." She tried to sound disinterested in it anyways. "I think I can find a very good use for this." She's a little put off by you asking /her/ for payment, but instead, she slides a purple amulet towards you. "Take good care of that, you hear me? Or else." That was all she said as she stood and walked off with your lint-y familiar-like sock monster.



CONGRATULATIONS! You have won the newbie amulet! Be sure to take her to the certing thread!
