Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whenever there is a large gathering of individuals, there is always a select few amongst the crowd who are looking to benefit by making a quick piece of gold or two. I doesn't matter if it's a celebration, a protest, a concert, there is always someone who will take to opportunity to benefit themselves.

One of those such people is Rune.

When he'd heard of the upcoming festival, he was practically salivating at the thought of the gold he might be able to make. Even though times had been rough, the man was sure that the high spirits of the festival would make even the poorest of men generous. Rune was looking to benefit.

He'd saved his finest goods for a moment like these, so he packed up his trailer and headed to the festival.

A ways from the centre of the gathering, but close enough that one could notice the banner from the crowd, the hawker set up his small stall, hoping to get some business.



The sign catches your eye. How intriguing! You make your way through the throng of others to the stall, but the sight before you lets you down. The stall is empty, though there is an abundance of cages of all shapes and sizes littering its area, but there are no creatures of any kind to be seen. Perhaps they have all been sold? Then out of the corner of your eye you notice a figure emerging from a very small trailer behind the stall, far too small to hold the figure, you notice. The figure makes its way over to the stall where you can finally see them. There stands a tall, skinny man with a ragged beard and even more ragged clothing. He smiles at you from behind the counter.

" 'ere to buy an animal? No problem, I've got a whole bunch! Yer'd be lucky to 'ave any of 'em, in fact! Why don't we play a game." He says and reaches under the stall.

He pulls a small bag into view and places it on the top of the stall with a flourish, as if it was the most exquisite thing he'd seen.

"In 'ere are a bunch o' numbers. I've got 14 animals to sell today, so there's 14 numbers in the bag. Whichever number ya pull out is the animal ya get!" He beams at his statement.

"10 pieces o' gold for a draw. No trades, returns or refunds! Once the animal touches yer 'ands we're no longer responsible."

He leans over the counter to you with a twinkle in his eye, "So, would ya like to 'ave a go?"

Okay, so here's the story. I have a bunch of lineart lying around on my harddrive that I'm never going to open shop with. But I don't want to waste it all! So I've come up with this little thread to give away some pets to your Edel characters, if they're inclined to buy a token from Rune.

- There's currently 14 pets colored that I have to give away.
- They're not all the same species, and each one is uniquely colored.
- Everything is free. The gold is just IC gold. This is just for fun and not for profit!
- If you want to have a go, simply make a post approaching the stall and wanting a token.
- When you post, randomize a number between 1 and 14. The number you get will correspond to the pet you get!
- Then I'll reply with a post and picture of the pet you've won.
- These also have certs to go with them, so make sure you think of a name!
- If you randomize a number that has already been picked, then the next closest number is the pet you get.
- For the moment everyone can enter once. So choose your character wisely! If there are still pets left over, or if not many people post then I'll open it up for people to have a second go.
- If you want to know more about the pet you got, feel free to talk to Rune, he's more than happy to blabber. :3

I think that's it! I hope this is fun! (:
