ANNOUNCEMENT!


Hi all, this is an official announcement from Biscuits and Truffles! The shop is being moved to a new building, meaning the front page is being redone, the pets are all being finished up and sent out, the petpets or minipets are being recreated so they're not so hostile, and my new assistant is in training... (( Truffles: On her first day she threw a clock into a pot of chocolate... I'd already added the secret ingredient that brings it to life and it started moving. ;-; Maybe an auction soon?)) Biscuits got a new tablet that works on her computer with photoshop. Cool right? Totally! PS pets will likely generally be auctioned off and available custom through bribes only.

Anyway, Biscuits is setting up the new shop to house all the pets, journals, and roleplays. It shouldn't take her too long, but you know how she procrastinates. n.n;


Anyways, she's having a great time getting things together, and she's got several prizes in store for you all!

About

‘Chocolate Is Love’ is the chocolate lovers dream shop. The pets are breedable and roleplayable, and all born from… CHOCOLATE! Every be is custom done, there are no bases here! There are several different ‘races’ including Biscuits, Truffles, Caramels, Fruits & Nuts, Ganaches, Pralines, Solids, and Mints. Each holiday will have themed chocolates such as chocolate rabbits for easter, chocolate roses for Valentines day, Advent chocolates and chocolate santas for Christmas… you get the idea.

The pets will be roleplayed in the shop, although you’re welcome to roleplay privately elsewhere.

Stages/Breeding:

Stages

Pets may be done in any medium, including tablet, like the examples, copic, pencil, colored pencil, hell, I might even use clay. XD




Candy: Wow, what a delectable treat! But don’t eat it! You don’t want to lose your pet. ;) Your pet can’t roleplay, move, talk, or do much of anything else yet. Give it time why don’t you.




Birth: OMG! It… it… MOVED! Your pet’s still pretty useless, but you’re getting closer!




Crumpet: Your pet’s a kid now! S/He can roleplay! The only thing your pet can’t do yet is breed. Keep an eye on that kid, their handfuls children are…





Cookie: Well would you look at that. They grow up so fast, but not fast enough! You’re pet’s a hell raising teenager now. Or perhaps a responsible soon to be adult? Your pet’s personality should really show by now. They still can’t breed though. Come on, be a good kid.





Cake: Your pet it at it’s final stage. Fully grown, and ready to go out into the world. That it, if Mama can let it go. Your pet is now breeable, roleplayable, and every other ‘able’ you can think of. Congrats!


ALSO!::: You WILL receive a larger version of your pet if requested!


Breeding:

You must do three things to breed:

Have an adult pet.

Have a willing partner with an adult pet.

Buy a breeding pass.


The person to purchase the breeding pass gets the child.

You may buy one breeding pass per person. Meaning if you both want kids out of the relation ship, you must each purchase a pass.

Breeding passes are 300g each. ((Essentially, you’re saving 200g on a pet.))

I don’t care how you split gold, you CANNOT co-own a pet. I will give the pet to whichever parent sends the trade.

Story/About Truffles

Story:

Truffles mixed the ingredients carefully, pouring his heart and soul into what would become a batch of the world’s best chocolates. The chocolates he sold in his store on a daily basis. Finally finished, he set the batch on a rack to dry, watching the smooth surface of the chocolate begin to set before closing up the shop and retiring to his room on the floor above.

The next morning the passionate baker woke early to sounds coming from his shop. He hurried down, wearing only his robe, and found small children everywhere, and nothing remaining of the truffles he’d made but the chocolately shell.

By pouring so much of himself into his work, he had created life. He couldn’t take care of all of them though! So the quest began to find loving homes for his creations.
