Welcome, welcome, to GeNtech Laboratories' third-ever flatsale. Yes, I'm surprised I haven't had more. But then again, with all the events/trades/customs... sweatdrop I guess it isn't too surprising. Anyway! This is a writing-prompt based flatsale, so get out your keyboards and have fun!

NOTE: It is extreeeeemely important that you read the rules and follow them. If you are unfamiliar with my shop, I highly suggest you check out the front page before you enter. (hint, hint.) And don't forget to read the rules. 3nodding Front page. Rules. The rules on this page apply, but SO DO THE ONES IN THE MAIN SHOP. Be aware of this. I won't make it any clearer.


Flatsale Rules

  • Flatsale Layhr cost 5k. Please do not enter if you cannot pay me when the contest ends.

  • If you aren't familiar with my shop, familiarize yourself. The banner links to the shop, you ARE responsible for knowing the rules there, too. wink

  • Layhr are not RP-required, but they ARE RP-encouraged. You HAVE to stop in the shop from time to time and let me know you exist; I will not allow these guys to rot in people's signatures. If you dissapear on me without good reason, I can and will revoke your right as a handler. [I'm an understanding person, if you can't be around, just let me know! But please, don't just dissapear.]

  • People who already own Layhr MAY participate in this event, as long as they don't already have the limit. X3

  • If you don't win, don't whine. I hate whiny people. I also hate chatspeak, idiocy, and jerks. Don't give me reason to greylist you; be civil and don't discourage anyone else in this thread.

  • Since this is a writing-based flatsale, you may make minor edits to your post up until the ending time. BUT! You must let me know you changed it, because I'll probably be reading these as you post them. If you don't tell me it's changed, I won't reread it. 3nodding

  • ...You did go read the front page of my shop, right? Goooood. heart


Read the rules? Good! Now we can get onto the other information. You will be responding to a writing-prompt, so please pay close attention. Judging will be based on a variety of things; I really like creativity and things that are well-thought out. I won't nitpick your spelling, BUT if I have trouble reading your entry... that isn't a good thing. Don't be lazy, you can go back and edit spelling errors, don't make me guess what you mean. xd

This is a two-part prompt. You must complete both of them for your entry to qualify. heart


Prompt Part One
Another day in the labs, just like any other. Not the best life to be leading, but hey, what else is there? You lay in your kennel, half-listening to the events around you. A shadow moves to block the light in front of your cage, another one of the scientists or technicians come to poke at you. Joy. There's a soft "click" as they unlock the door.

Suddenly, you hear an angry snarl and a cry of surprise; it seems the Layhr in the next kennel over caught his scientist off-guard and attacked. The one in front of you runs to help the man, letting the door swing open in his haste. A chance... to escape? You step out gingerly, wondering if this opportunity is too good to be true.

To your left are the two men, struggling to avoid injury from the furious Layhr. Behind them lies the open door. Do you aid your fellow Layhr, attacking those scientists, taking the chance to get revenge for all the things they've put you through? Or do you run past, into the maze-like halls of the labs, hoping to find an exit?

(Please, go into details, what actions you take, what happens next. What happens to you?)


Prompt Part Two
How did you hear about my shop, are you a lurker? Or are you new for this flatsale? (This doesn't affect your grading, I'm just curious. X3) Also, please tell me which Layhr you are trying for, and why? What interests you about them?


Please include which Layhr you are trying for in your reponse. Entries will be divided into groups based on that. 3nodding You are writing from a Layhr's point of view, though it doesn't have to be one of the ones in the flatsale.

Contest Starting Date: Tuesday, March 22nd.
Contest Ending Date: Tuesday, March 29th at 9pm PST (9pm Gaia Standard Time, which is 10pm MST)

And here we have the Layhr you're trying for. Keep in mind, all these Layhr will start off given to you in a crate. Then they go to the stage shown here, and then whatever their next stage is. XXVI and XXVII are both teens, whereas XXVIII is an adult. 3nodding

Subject XXVI is an interesting looking Layhr, if nothing else for the set of star-shaped spikes going down her spine. Seems to be the only Layhr we've seen thus far with such a trait... hmm. She doesn't seem too quick to take to people, though the people she has taken a liking to, she will defend fiercely. She is not one to step down from a fight, though she doesn't seem the kind to start one, either.

Subject XXVII is visually stunning. She appears to display back-talons reminiscent of Deinonychus Antirrhopus, a Cretaceous era saurian that used it's lethal claws as weapons. It is doubtful that she can use them in the same way, however; Deinonychus was a bipedal predator. Personality-wise, this Layhr is extremely territorial. This extends beyond terra firma and personal space- anything she claims as her own, look out. She hasn't taken kindly to many of the technicians, though I imagine that if she did, they wouldn't need to worry about any of the other Layhr harming them.

Subject XXVIII... is something else. Subject has had to be under careful watch due to her unfortunate pyro tendencies. While most Layhr with the flame-tail genetics seem to have little to no problem keeping their flames from burning things, this one seems to delight in her ability to destroy with it. We've had to put out a few small fires in the laboratories before we started keeping her away from the chemicals. Not the friendliest of Layhr...
