{Pecora} Can you feel the love tonight?

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 07:45:16 PM

In the Forest of Winter's Kiss, a small herd grazes calmly. They are surrounded by snow, with only the barest hints of brown branches and green pine needles evident around the edges of their clearing. Even the sky is a glowering grey, showing no hint of blue or gold, symbols of daylight. There's nothing particular impressive about this herd; they are the colour of snow, with the same icy markings upon their hides.

Despite their ease, they are not alone, and it takes only a moment for the lead Pecora to lift his head, white nostrils flaring as he looks around him cautiously. There, at the edge of the thicket, a hooded woman waits, her cloak a shimmering white, making her nearly invisible against the snow-covered trees.

The Pecora's stance changes, a move to alert and the other Pecora answer by raising their heads as well. He eyes the trespasser, but she doesn't move, not yet, watching the snowflake-touched deer thoughtfully. Silence fills the minutes as they slowly slip past, each inspecting the other. Finally, she lifts her hands, her voice a whisper on the wind that he can hear and understand.

I offer you a gift; the gift of friendship, of colour, of an outside world. I offer this to you freely to atone for sins committed in error. Accept or not, but my time is limited, I'm afraid.

He snorts in surprise, feels the Pecora shifting around him. They separate into two camps, those behind him, and those behind a younger stag. It's apparent where the two stances are, though the lead Pecora desires this gift as well. But some must remain to protect their origins. He nods gracefully to the other male and his son throws his head up in salute before moving to the woman.

She smiles and spreads her hands out. It's only a wave of icy mist that touches them, yet they are profoundly changed. The colours of the world outside of their Forest, colours of summer, of autumn, of rainbows, and life ripple across their hides, leaving a glorious mural enacted upon their very bodies. The newly-coloured Pecora mill curiously, inspecting each other, glancing back at their herd.

The woman bows to the lead Pecora and gestures for the deer to follow her; with a few more glances back, they follow the strange woman into the wood and, soon, into the world beyond.

Please let me have six posts.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Make a Valentine Box

I remember in elementary school we would always make valentines "boxes", usually out of paper bags. So now we are going to be little kids again! You are to design a valentine box, bag, whatever, and then you will get a delivery in your box on Valentines day.

To enter:
Make a valentine holder out of any household items and take a picture and post it. Alternatively you can use an art program (Photoshop, GIMP, paint, etc) and draw a valentine holder.
Post "Valentine Box!" in bold and Salmon at the top of your post.

Buy a Valentine

Would you like to give someone a valentine but you do not feel your coloring is up to par? Would you like to get Valentines for yourself? Well this is your chance. You will have four different types of Valentines you can buy each with its own form to fill out.

Hearts
By buying a heart, you will buy a Pecora that will be completely random and up to toffeeca, it may or maynot be Valentine themed.

Name:
Owner:
Gender:

Price: 5,000 SG
Add 2,500 SG if leaving the name up to the owner

Candy
By buying a candy, you will buy a Pecora that will be completely random and up to toffeeca, but it will be Valentine themed.

Name:
Owner:
Gender:

Price: 7,500 SG
Add 2,500 SG if leaving the name up to the owner

Flowers
By buying flowers, you will buy a Pecora that will have a little influence from you, but it will still be mostly up to toffeeca, it can be Valentine themed or not depending on how the form is filled out.

Name:
Owner:
Gender:
2-3 colors:
Valentine themed (you must have at least one valentine color listed if you say yes):

Price: 10,000 SG
add 2,500 SG if leaving the name up to the owner

Cupid
By buying Cupid, you will buy a Pecora that you have complete control over.

Name:
Owner:
Gender:
Body color:
Hoof/horn color(s):
Eye color:
Design:
Design colors:

Price: 20,000 SG
add 2,500 SG if leaving the name up to the owner

Now, you are free to buy as many as you would like, the only catch is that if you would like to buy some for yourself, you must first gift! You must gift one for every one that you buy for yourself (of course they you may gift more than this) you must also gift the same kind of valentine that you would like to purchase for yourself.

To oder: Simply post the appropriate forms (alternativly you can PM them if you would like them to be a surprise) and send the funds to this account.

Ends: Feburary 13th 23:59

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 07:46:09 PM

Send a Valentine!

If you would like to send a valentine for others to receive in their Valentine boxes then this is your chance to do so. This is a Color-Your-Own-For-Someone-Else.

Rules:
-Please do not claim the artwork as your own, or use it for anything other than this CYO
-Send your completed valentines to this account so that they can be secrets for your Valentines to open on Valentines Day.
-You can color however many you want. The first five valentines that you color are free, every one after that is 5,000 SG
-Please send the image, with a name and an owner. If you would like to let your Valentine name the pecora then it will cost you an additional 2,500SG (because it is much easier to cert them all in one go than to wait for everyone to give me names)

Ends:
Feburary 13th 00:00

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 07:46:21 PM

Valentines Poems!

So toffeeca is loveless this Valentines Day, so she wants to have Secundi Valentines! Toffeeca really loves poetry so she would love it if some of her Secundi valentines would write her some poems. She will then thank everyone by making them a pecora based on the poem that they write for her!

To enter:
Simply post "V-Day Poem!" in bold magenta at the top of your poem.
The poem can be just about what the pecora would look like, but don't make it look like a custom form, or it can just be a poem in general and I will use that as inspiration.

*claims first post* mwuahahahaha

*sprinkles some candy hearts on toffeeca and Sunchaser*

Mwahahaha. XD

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 07:53:38 PM

Sunny is stealing first posts again! and Keilin is making messes in my nice clean pink thread. Gah! What will I do with the two of you.

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 07:56:28 PM

lol youll lub us

*wiggles on marshalls pecora as Sara pecora shakes head*

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 08:14:29 PM

Yes, I do lub you both.

Keilin Alyr · February 07, 2011, 08:24:19 PM

*snugs a toffeeca*

Candy hearts are not very good for eating, but they make an excellent substitute for confetti, provided they are not thrown at anyone. That, and they would make the thread festive. =)

*crunches on candy heart* Nope, still chalky. Yuck. XD

Pecora · February 07, 2011, 08:28:24 PM

I agree, Candy hearts are gross. But they are fun to use for telling people notes. You throw one candy heart and they read it and they throw a different one back and you profess how much you love them (and all that other stuff)

And we have events up! Yay!

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 08:43:49 PM

lol neighbor interupted me half way threw crappy poem. im going to have to rewrite it lol

*wiggles lots* i loved making valentines day boxs. i actually had our 7th grade class do it to ;-p i had lots of fun ill so enter that

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 08:45:07 PM

And just to prove that I lub you both, here ya go
Sunny:

Keilin:

And Keilin needs to PM mes. Even though I know my last PM probably didn't make all that much sense >.>

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 08:47:59 PM

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 08:48:43 PM

Its Valentines Day Sunny. It has to be pink. Its pretty much a rule.

Those be girlies

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 08:50:02 PM

lol why not red!! :-p im teasing i do love her. Lets call her Fr'shi for friendship ^_^

Keilin Alyr · February 07, 2011, 08:59:10 PM

Purple and pink. I love purple and pink. And I love pastels! *wiggles* Thank you so much, toffeeca, she's adorable! *snugs*

I think I'd like to name her Candace. And like the candy hearts decorating the thread, she will not be eaten. XD

I also do intend to PM you back, no worries. I'm just pondering exactly how to say what I want to say. =)

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 09:11:06 PM

Here you are!
Friendship that I can't pronounce...

Candace...

And finally...
Sunny Is A Butt... Or SIAB

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 09:12:37 PM

LOL! thank you! :-p *wiggles and dances with her pecora*

Keilin Alyr · February 07, 2011, 09:15:58 PM

SIAB. *giggle-snorts* Best. Pecora. Ever. XD

*squishes Candance* Such a pretty girl. =)

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 09:20:27 PM

lol at least im not a butt head :-p

(when i needed actual skin for my head when the cancer came, i had a choice between getting the skin from my thigh or my butt. i chose my thigh lol)

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 09:36:23 PM

Aw, I don't know why you wouldn't want to be a butt head Sunny

Are his reds better than unpronounceble friendship's pinks?

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 09:37:38 PM

lol i love him ^_^ youd o realize im also going to tackle with you with at least two breedings? Fr'shi and SIAB as well as Marshall and Sara? :-p *grins at payback*

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 09:40:38 PM

But I have to open breedings first! Or you could bribe... But maybe I'll make a rule. "Sunny is not allowed to be in breeding season because she is officially a butt" *nods*

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 09:41:52 PM

LOL you woudl be evil toffeeca then and i wouldnt be able to send you pretties in teh mail o.o

toffeeca · February 07, 2011, 09:45:42 PM

Pretties in the mail

but LC don't fit in mailboxes. And I'm sending you pretties in the mail, once I get some time to work

Sunchaser · February 07, 2011, 09:48:40 PM

lol well im a JC as well as a beginer leatherworker :-p Perhaps youd like those pretties to *giggles*

Keilin Alyr · February 07, 2011, 09:51:51 PM

Aww, curse my low-glycemic diet. I love baking, but I can't justify making a Valentine's box out of cake. Well... I could, but then I'd want to eat it afterward, and I just don't have the stomach for that much sugar anymore. =(

*mails cake to everyone* >.>

You has one very long, drawn-out PM in your message box though, toffeeca. =)

Pecora · February 08, 2011, 01:33:51 AM

Those pretties would be pretty Sunny

A valentines box cake would be so cool! I'm sure you could find someone to help you eat the cake Keilin.

And now you have one too.

Sunchaser · February 08, 2011, 03:00:23 PM

"V-Day Poem!"
it sucks i know :-p

Upon a moonlit clear
I see a toffeeca Dear

She searched and searched for the one she longed
Until she found the one who belonged.

Once she found the one that belonged
She found she could color all night long.

Happy V-day Toffeeca :-p

toffeeca · February 08, 2011, 03:14:24 PM

Yay! I'm really tempted to stick a picture of myself with deer horns on your pecora

but we only want pretty Pecora to go out.

Also, there is another way to get valentines for yourself and others now posted. Yay!

YourLoveOnly · February 08, 2011, 03:16:26 PM

Do you realize how dangerous it is to sell customs for 20K when you have me around? XD

Sunchaser · February 08, 2011, 03:18:13 PM

Name:leaving up to hubby
Owner:Siurin
Gender:Male
2-3 colors:Blue, Red and Black
Valentine themed (you must have at least one valentine color listed if you say yes): YES! (points to red) :-p

and ill probally buy some more but right now im thinking o.o cause i cant buy a hope one since you have somthing int he works, and i got to figure out how im going to do my new persona as well as if i want to get a Siurin since i has a marsahll *giggles*

toffeeca · February 08, 2011, 03:18:48 PM

Haha, but you have most of your customs already done, right? Or have you made more just to hurt me with? Maybe I will make a special YLO price so that I don't get killed with custom forms.

But Sunny, you already has a Siurin, I made him for you in last thread

See-->

YourLoveOnly · February 08, 2011, 03:22:03 PM

XD But I will be nice and gift plenty of pretties too!
And yes I do have most, I think only two full customs missing, but I have been thinking I want some more natural colored ones too so I might throw Kennel mimics and other shinies your way XD Don't kill me

Blame the addict! I also love your semi customs so I might get a few of those too. And gifts, plenty of shiny gifts!

Sunchaser · February 08, 2011, 03:24:19 PM

*bangs head into wall* thatws right i cried when i saw him. Gah i fail lol *cligns to the siurin mimic* your staying with me Marshall can go and bleep himself :-p

Pecora · February 08, 2011, 11:24:29 PM

Sunny, I think you need to check the money you sent. I was uber confused as to why you sent me 12 SG. I have noticed that if you put a comma then it stops just after where the comma is.

Sunchaser · February 09, 2011, 04:46:56 AM

ah i put the comma *goes to resend*

kunaisa · February 09, 2011, 07:37:12 PM

Valentine box

Pinkshadow · February 10, 2011, 03:27:32 AM

awwh they are awsome cute

toffeeca · February 10, 2011, 11:58:57 AM

Pink, you should enter some events. We need more entries.

Also, I was planning on keeping all Pecora until valentines day and then passing them out, but would you all prefer to get to choose if you want them delivered as soon as they get done or wait until Valentines day? If there is anyone that would like them delivered sooner (to themselves or others) then just let me know, if I don't hear anything I will assume that you want them on Valentines day.

Sunchaser · February 10, 2011, 12:03:36 PM

im fine with whatever

Pinkshadow · February 10, 2011, 12:11:15 PM

I totally would , if i had a chance at doing any of them

YourLoveOnly · February 10, 2011, 12:12:40 PM

I plan on entering stuff.. I am just busy x_x

@Pink: Anyone can do the Buy a Valentine, it's just gifting

toffeeca · February 10, 2011, 12:18:27 PM

You could enter any of them Pink, none are skill based

But YLO is right, the buying valentines is just gifting to other people (and yourself)

And YLO, you need to stop being busy. You work yourself to much

YourLoveOnly · February 10, 2011, 12:20:26 PM

.. I have 4 Vday threads and a non-Vday Panda Shrimps thread on PI.
One holiday, multiple adoptables, two sites.. This is what you get! XD
*wants to hide when Halloween and Christmas come around*

toffeeca · February 10, 2011, 12:40:27 PM

Well at least for the Luminaria threads you only have to color up 8 more? Of course if I get one of the breeding spots they will be epic colorings

But YLO needs time for fun (and custom Pecora) too!

News:

{Pecora} Can you feel the love tonight?
