Welcome to Casi's very first quest thread ever. Moonstruck seems to have been the first shop that's really spurned me. This thread may have the specifics for a full custom but I'd be just as tickled to win a Flatsale and simply be able to use this dessert. Though the information given here is for a complete custom I'd be just as tickled to be able to win a flatsale Sweet Thing and use this dessert!

Please only give constructive Crit in this thread. I don't care if you tell me I've got a shitty idea going... but let me know -why- exactly you think it's so bad. If you don't tell me why I can't fix it!

Please Note! If you've already looked this thread over before you may notice something different.. a lot different! I've come up with a better idea for a sweet, one that isn't so similar to some of the already existing quests. I like this one much more, so I'm happy with the changes.

Name: E. "Pez" Davies (Her first name? That's a secret...)
Age: 21
Occupation: Changes often


Appearance: She looks quite a bit scruffy, in fact at first glance you might not even be able to tell that Pez is a she at all. Her hair is dustyUser Image black and usually worn up or hidden under some sort of hat. She wears a black eye patch over her right eye due to a work accident that caused her the loss of it. Her eye color is dark brown.

She tends to wear baggy clothing in an attempt to hide her gender, not really because she wishes she was a boy, it's just the way she's grown up.

Personality: Rowdy, corse, and not just a little pugnatious - Pez often wears a scowel on her face. Despite her initial inclination to think everyone's out to give her a hard time, she does have something of a conscience that demands she repay any favor given her and make sure any good deed given to her is returned. She's pretty rough around the edges but inside there's creamy nougat.

Issues: She recently lost her eye in a work-related accident and since then has been unable to hold a steady job. She can't help but feel a -little- jinxed about this. Not only that but she's needing to learn to cope with the new lack of depth perception and feelings of uselessness. There aren't many things a one-eyed jack-of-all-trades-expert-of-none can do.

There are also underlying feelings of doubt as to her appearance. She was treated like a boy by her parents and made fun of for dressing like one by her school peers. Eventually it escalated to them calling her mean names to finally being ignored until graduation. With the lack of an eye she's feeling even more unappealing than usual.

((If Pez wasn't already messed up as it was, I've decided that I need to come up with a few deeper, more complex problems. The ones she has currently are less obvious and could, over time, be fixed. As I don't want to get rid of my sweet thing once I finally get it, I think I might need something more. XD; ))

Sweet Thing Name: Xiao
Gender: Female
Flavor: Lotus Paste (Baked)
Colors: Not sure... like I said, I really just want a flatsale win and have this for my dessert. The artist can do whatever they want with it.

Physical description for each stage: Ahhh! Did I mention I don't really know? At least have lotus flower decorations on the box and then perhaps lotus flowers worked into the outfits? Artist, just do as you please!

Personality: Sometimes, no matter how much thinking you have ahead of time, a character's (or in this case and others that I'm speaking of from experience) personality doesn't quite develop until you see the art. This said I do have a few ghostly ideas as to how she might be.

Lotus Paste Mooncakes tend to have duck eggs used in them, particularily the yolk and it has a definate salty quality to it. It makes for an interesting taste that is definatly aquired. The lotus paste is sweet, and being baked gives it that general overall deliciousness. There are a lot of possibilites for how the personality could turn out, but it seems that no matter what it may be, Xiao would end up pretty well balanced.
Custom Cert?: No thanks.
Extra notes: Really! I just want to win a flatsale, I don't have to have a 100% custom Sweet Thing, just to be able to use this dessert would be more than enough for me.

My original Sweet Concept. I still enjoy the concept, so even though I don't think I'll be using this one any longer, I still want to keep it up for memories sake!

Sweet Thing Name: Fioara
Gender: Female
Flavor: Lemon-Raspberry Tiramisu
Colors: Yellow, Red, and Pink.

Physical description for each stage:
Arrival Stage : The box is simplistic. It should look as though it's gilded yellow (not blinding), red marks decorating it. It has two raspberry pink ribbons that go around completely and tie into a simple, non-flashy knot. It has a silver clasp keeping it shut.
First Stage : Much the same as the first box, though the ribbons are gone. It's the same gilded yellow and red marks as well as silver clasp.
Second Stage : The child! Her hair should be light lemony yellow (though not blinding!). Perhaps the tips could be the same raspberry pink as the ribbons on the box were. The hair should be flowing a long as well. Her eyes should be yellow as well and she should have a definite sour expression. As for clothing... something frilly.. something with ribbons and mostly pink or red. The clothing should be what is giving the child such a sour expression... perhaps making her look a little uncomfortable in them as well. As for the extreme details, I leave it to the artist.
Third Stage : The young adolescent! Same hair colors. Yellow with raspberry pink tips except now it should only go down to her shoulders. Her eyes, of course, are the same color as her Second stage. Clothing should be vastly different. Rather than frilly and girly they should be a bit more tomboyish and have more yellow than pink or red in them. There should still be touches of pink worked in somehow, though. The clothing should be suited for summer-type wear and easy to move in. As for the extreme details, I leave it to the artist!
Fourth Stage : Teenager! Hair should be the same colors. Yellow blond with raspberry pink tips. In a fit of extreme rebellion it should now be up in a mohawk! Eyes are the same. Clothing should have more yellow than pink or red in them, though there should be definite touches of red. The clothing should be as rebellious, risque, and wild as is manageable. Show as much skin as TOS will allow! As for the extreme details, I leave it to the artist.
Fifth Stage : Young adult. Hair should be the same colors, yellow blond with raspberry pink tips. In length it should be extremely short, about chin length or shorter, and look a little messy. Eyes are the same. Clothing should be a little more tame, more mature. Trying to look more professional but still falling short. The colors should be mostly yellow with red worked in as well. As for the extreme details, I leave it to the artist.

Personality: Rebellious in many, she's got quite a bit of tart to her and a sharp tongue to boot. She likes trying to push the limits User Image
and shocking everyone around her. Of course... no one is without their weaknesses. She's got an extreme soft spot for some things and people, though she'll never admit it to their faces. She's the type to tell someone she loves them only once.

Custom Cert?: No.

Extra notes: I don't really have any specifics on clothing! Just some guidelines. But if the artist can think of something that would be more clever and suitable then by all means go for it!

Well... I don't have nearly enough for a bribe, which would be 3mil... at best if I sold all my monthly collectible/event items I'd have 1mil, but two of those items I just can't part with.. and they make up a rather gigantic sum of that.

Those being my Kitsune Mask and Human G CORP Labcoat.

As it is I do have enough for a Flatsale! So I shall wait and lurk in hopes for one to show up so I might use my concept!

Mid-Autumn Festival Info!


The Mid-Autumn Festival in October is the time when Mooncakes are eaten and a certain story is told! As I learn more information about this festival and maybe even about Mooncakes themselves I'll post it here just as a general interest sort of thing.


Story
((Please forgive me if I tell it wrong. I'm remembering it the way my friend told me. Besides, stories like this should be told by word of mouth, eh?))

When the Earth was new there were 10 suns. It was too hot for the things living on the Earth, so a brave hero came and shot down 9 of the suns with his bow and arrows, leaving one to nourish the Earth. The Gods were so pleased with the hero's bravery and good thinking they rewarded him with a pill that would make him immortal.

He didn't take the pill, instead choosing to put it away in a box in his home. His wife was greedy, however, and she stole the pill and swallowed it. The Gods were equally unhappy with her show of selfishness and banished her to the moon to live alone forever.

//RP Logs

So... I don't have a Sweet Thing (yet). That doesn't meant that I can't RP! Here's a log of the RPs I've been able to take part in.


Nightwalkers
A rather extensive RP with Crimson that spans over a few days time involving Pez and his character, Kai. For the purposes of the RP it takes place before his box turned into a little kidlet.

Ordinary Day~
Just a regular day in the life of Audley and Pez. She makes a visit to the bakery in an attempt to cheer herself up.

Cool Clear Air
Pez happens to be in the right place at the right time to meet Shin, Marie, and Chione at the skating rink! Pez is her usual punk-self.

Wow, that's definitely a lemony twist. A mohawk. x'3 <3 She's definitely not your average "sweet" thing.

Heh.. thank. I don't know if such a lemony 'sweet' thing would be accepted but I like the idea and until I'm told by a higher force that it'd be a no go then I'll keep with it.

I got an idea for a BETTER dessert that I'd like more AND doesn't step on the toes of anyone else! biggrin Lotus Paste Mooncake! I'll be compiling information here soon.
