We just drop in really.
Vicious, my alt - runs the place.

Lawtan 02-05-2014 02:25 PM

Hmm - I accidently mistook it for Pan's Labyrinth at first...will have to find a version of the movie...I've read several things that reference it...what do the positions mean? (tattoo artist, piercer, etc.)

Espy 02-05-2014 03:18 PM

oh my god I don't even remember what the balls I did to deserve that siggy mention <3

Also, I claim an artist position! ....when I'm...not....you know. Dying under homework.

My guess, being completely ignorant of such things for the most part, are that the positions refer to what people do in the shop. Tattoo artist I expect is self explanatory. Piercers handle body piercings. Customers are getting stuff done, random people perhaps show up, look around the shop, leave, hang out and badger the staff...and the goblins are the general denizens of the Goblin City. Google "Labyrinth film" under images to get an idea of the city's aesthetic.


EDIT: Okay, going with original conversation now. :P

Vicious Whisper 02-06-2014 12:14 AM

Thanks QMC for explaining... everything. :)

So this role play takes place in a tattoo parlor.
All of the potions are 'jobs' there.

I'm sorry I completely took for granted that people would know about jobs in a tattoo parlor, which if you know the movie Labyrinth, you would know how ironic that is.

Lawtan 02-06-2014 12:57 AM

Thanks. ;D
Well...what positions are still open? (Piercer or Tattoo artist)
...I thought that they may have meant something else... *shrugs*

Quiet Man Cometh 02-06-2014 01:10 AM

For the benefit of people who haven't seen the film: (mild spoiler I suppose) "ello"

Lawtan 02-06-2014 01:16 AM

...I am looking for this movie, now.

Fauxreal 02-06-2014 01:17 AM

QMC.... :D!!!!!

Law - all positions are open! Also this is any character. Magic, non-magic, anthropomorphic, faerie, human.
<3

Lawtan 02-06-2014 01:20 AM

*Anthro bird head pops up* What? *More Drawing, yay!*

Espy 02-06-2014 02:14 AM

Can....can I just hop in really quick? I wanna carry the caterpillar o.o;;

Vicious Whisper 02-06-2014 02:23 AM

Do it. :) Although it's polite to ask permission before handling someone.

Espy 02-06-2014 03:10 AM

I know :D

....whoa, mood swings.

Lawtan 02-06-2014 03:22 AM

Caterpillar? Eh?

Mind if I bring my character in?

Edit: Oh gods...I created a monster for this...

Description: Before you is a creature within an armored carapace decorated in swirls, runes, and symbols. It has a four legged body with each furred leg jutting out to the side. Between the legs is a skin-like flap, perhaps meant for flight or gliding. It has a large almost rattling or chattering back abdomen that is used to an almost maraca-like effect. It is oily, and emits a soothing fragrance. From the shoulders a long telescoping head juts out, armored in segments, with six little insectoid legs. The furry head appears catlike, with whiskers and a cute yet sophisticated muzzle. It has a white orb on the forehead that twinkles like a jewel.

Personality: Extremely polite to customers, but talks either frankly or in rhyme (depending on the day). Likes to design and apply piercings, and is very quick with them. Also, is prone to randomly sleeping during the day and follow anything of curiosity.

Quiet Man Cometh 02-06-2014 04:54 AM

I'll have some manner of punk caterpillar at the end of this, I'm sure. Perhaps there's a stylist around?

Have at it, Espy. ;)

Lawtan 02-06-2014 05:33 PM

A scene from another cool Jim Henson production

Vicious Whisper 02-06-2014 05:51 PM

Law, Are you applying for stylist? Piercer?

Espy 02-06-2014 06:00 PM

(You should check your main's profile, Faux)

I'll just play the really lazy artist who gets really passionate about designs and scares people with his gesturing and "Wait, wait, I have to show you this one....hold on! Ta-da! Aren't those lines /beautiful/?!" -wild flailing and huge grins-

Vicious Whisper 02-06-2014 06:08 PM

Sounds good Espy.

And what do mean check? What did I forget?

Espy 02-06-2014 06:19 PM

I meant your profile comments >.>

Fauxreal 02-06-2014 06:38 PM

Ha! I read them! <3

Quiet Man Cometh 02-07-2014 12:28 AM

Not entirely sure where your character's appearance is going there, Lawtan. Did you base him off the Mystics in Dark Crystal? That's sorta the vibe I'm getting.

Fauxreal 02-07-2014 12:24 PM

I like it!

Lawtan 02-07-2014 02:37 PM

@Quiet - Umm...sort of but not really. I tried thinking among the lines of the style of work the artist of both the Dark Crystal and the Labyrinth, and I took what fascinated me, and came up with this creature. I drew a crappy version that no one will see, and improved upon it via description.

@Whisper - I'll be "specialized both" - Body modification art (piercing) and tattoo. And thanks <3

Vicious Whisper 02-07-2014 10:58 PM

Well, just drop on in when you feel comfortable!

Espy 02-08-2014 02:09 AM

Ugh. Trying to figure out character stuff. I might just drop in and post before getting an actual profile up. Would you prefer we fit the whole Labyrinth aesthetic?

Vicious Whisper 02-09-2014 03:43 AM

It can be any "'toon" ~ character. It does not need to be Labyrinth themed at all! <3

Fauxreal 02-12-2014 03:12 PM

All right people - come on. We can do this. <3

Lawtan 02-12-2014 03:24 PM

I'll have something when not redoing 20+ pictures...

Vicious Whisper 02-12-2014 06:38 PM

What are you up to with 20 pictures you have to redo?!

Quiet Man Cometh 02-20-2014 08:14 PM

I just can't think of what to do next. I'll come up with something in a few. Maybe I'll just let someone walk me over to a display case and suggest things. ;)

Vicious Whisper 02-20-2014 08:25 PM

Wasn't Espy suppose to?!

Espy 02-20-2014 10:33 PM

I'm sorry, I've been swamped with stuff for the past three weeks.

Quiet Man Cometh 02-20-2014 10:57 PM

Seems to be the case with a lot of people. I have stuff that I should be doing, but I'm largely ignoring it. That, and I really have no idea how to outfit my caterpillar.

Fauxreal 02-21-2014 01:01 AM

Well, you could shave it's first shoulder and get a heart tattoo with your favorite girlwormfriend's name. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Quiet Man Cometh 02-21-2014 01:57 AM

How do we know it's a girwormfriend?

Fauxreal 02-21-2014 02:39 AM

or boywormfriend, I don't discriminate. I only said girl because the one in Labyrinth says, 'come inside and meet the missus.'

:D

Quiet Man Cometh 02-21-2014 10:53 PM

I'm not even sure what it would be. I suppose it will come up when it's relevant, or we'll just have another androgynous caterpillar enter the scene.

Fauxreal 02-22-2014 12:16 AM

Worms are born with an unknown gender, but if they cross a female, they will turn into a male and start mating. If they don't, they become females themselves. I'm not sure if that is true but I read it somewhere.

Lawtan 02-22-2014 06:50 PM

Yeah...I'm behind bit... (Going back to the "better pacing" thing I need.)
