"Why hello!" a small dog's voice catches your
attention as you walk into the candy shop,
the various sweet smells filling your nostrils.
You turn your head to the right, noticing a
small light yellow dog peeping at you over
the cash register. He seemed to have
two... Pocky sticks? sprouting out of his head?

"Welcome to my candy kingdom!" He giggles,
tail wagging cheerfully.

"My name is Marley. Are you here to adopt
or build?" He inquires, head tilting as he
awaits your response.

"What's that?" Marley asks, furrowing his eyebrows
at you from behind the counter. "Our history and
origins?". The canine blinks at you.

"Oh, I have no idea. Some kind of mutilation
in a common household dog gene. Yada yada."
Marley smiles, tail wagging slightly. "Although
now it appears you humans have found out
how to manipulate our genetic traits to create
canines to your liking."

He contemplates your next question. "I mean,
I guess you can say I'm the king of the kingdom."
He smiles bashfully.

"Huh?" He mumbles, perking up an ear to listen
to your next question. "Why yes, my horns and tail
are edible." Marley grins softly. "Wanna bite?" He
turns around, playfully wiggling his bottom in your
face. "Don't worry, it's mostly painless when these
candy limbs of ours snap off. They regenerate
anyway." He nods, turning back to you and sitting
down.

"Mhm, yes, our species is generally quite
happy go lucky." he barks, wagging his tail
as if to solidify his statement.

Marley's relaxed face morphs into one of horror
upon registering your next question. "No! We
don't eat each other's candy limbs! Although our
diet consists of literally everything but trash,
we don't eat each other, no." He shakes his head.
"What do you mean why not?!" He screeches,
jumping back slightly.

Rules
Marley huffs, recovering from your queer
bout of questioning. "Anyway," he clears his throat, his cotton candy
tail waving slightly, "if you're looking to adopt or create,
there are some ground rules." he mumbles.

The pug sized canine trots over to a pastel plaque
behind is register, standing on his hind legs to point out
his "rules".

• ALL REGISTERED CANDY CANINES MUST HAVE A STAR PIERCING ON THEIR EAR. This is to mark the validity of the canine species.
• YES, OTHER PIERCINGS ARE ALLOWED. But the star piercing must be the most distinguishable!
• CANDY CANINES CAN BE ANY COLOUR! Try to stay away from dark and scary colours though! There also aren't any rules or specifics for fur designs/patterns at the moment.
• PLEASE NO SCARS/INJURIES/MUTILATIONS. Don't hurt the precious babies :c
• CANDY CANINES ARE ONLY OBTAINABLE BY BUILDING VIA THE LAB, OR ADOPTING THROUGH VERIFIED SHOPS. Verification HAS to be given by skrr or any other "scientists", or your canine will be counted as UNOFFICIAL/"fake".
• CLOTHING IS FINE C:
• PUPILS STAY AS PUPILS. No funny shapes please! They can't see through star shaped pupils D:
• CHANGING TRAITS ONCE CANINES ARE ADOPTED IS FORBIDDEN. You may change colours but not the traits!
• RARE TRAITS ARE OFF LIMITS. They are only obtainable through verified adopts in the Candy Shop, or if the owner (skrr) gives you permission to create one with rare traits.
• CREDIT OWNER OF SPECIES IN YOUR REFERENCE SHEET. If you ever create a reference sheet for your canine please reference the owner of the species! i.e. write somewhere on the sheet "species by __". PM me if you are unsure!
• TOYHOUSE ACCOUNT OWNERS: my user is wolfverine. Credit me there!
• MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE FUN<3

THE CANDY SHOP
After introducing you to the rules, Marley waddles over to a glass display,
where you see multiple spaces with canines much like him running around.

"This is the official Candy Shop." He introduces, motioning to the many
enclosures that come into sight. "Here, you can choose from a selection
of canines that have been created by official canine scientists. I think
usually, adoption is free, but some with uncommon or rare genetics require
some payment." Marley squints, as if he is unable to remember the clear
details. He shrugs it off, smiling at you.

"Do any of them interest you?" He asks, tilting his head. "Well, if they do,
you can fill out this form-" he trails off, scurrying to his register and coming
back with a pink clipboard clamped between his jowls. "I think its a first come
first serve kind of thing... Not sure." He grins sheepishly, offering the clipboard
to you.

CANINE#0002-TAKEN

CANINE#0003-TAKEN

On the clipboard, you read through the form:

Code: Select all

[b]I WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT![/b]

[b]registered gender of canine:[/b]

THE CANDY LAB [currently closed]
"You want to build, you say?" Marley peers at you, voice muffled
by the clipboard he's holding in his mouth. He sets it aside, trotting away and
motioning for you to follow him through a set of double doors.

You are lead to a room with soft colours, and you notice him
slide a tablet to you. "Here you can see all the available traits.
Just pick a horn and tail, and our scientists should have your
canine delivered to you A-S-A-P!" He barks, spelling out each
acronym individually.

"Other than that, you can also provide them with additional
details of what you want your dream candy canine to look like.
Isn't that cool?" Marley smiles, wagging his fluffy tail.

"Anyway, just click the trait options you want, and fill out this
online form thingie." He pokes at the LED screen, tongue sticking
out in concentration. Marley's ears perk up at the sound of the
hanging door bell ringing.

"Would you look at that! Business is incredible today!" He giggles.
"I'm sure you'll be find on your own, yes? Just call if you need help."
He smiles, nodding at you before dashing off to tend to the new
potential customer.

You look down at the tablet, scrolling through various images and trait options.

REGISTERED CANINES
"Here you can find our database of registered candy
canidae!" Marley pops back up behind you, pointing to a tab on your screen.
"You can click each profile to check out the owner of the pup!"

Shop Canines

DIY/Lab Canines
"Just click this link over here, and you'll be able to
see all the other canines made by our scientists,
and the customers themselves!

You can now make your own canine- isn't that cool?"

[xayah.]

FAQ
"Here you can hopefully find some answers to any questions!" Marley barks,
trotting to a nearby wall where you see dozens of texts projected in pale blue letters.

What does it cost to build a CC?
"Cost?" Marley frowns. "Oh, like money?"
he giggles.
"No, I don't think any of the scientists are
demanding payment for the creation of a
canine yet. Maybe soon- but our project
is much too small to start demanding
payment from customers." He smiles
reassuringly at you.

Is there any way I can support this species?
Marley gasps, before nodding
excitedly.
"That is so kind of you to offer!" he
rambles, his behind wiggling at how hard
he was wagging his tail.
"Yes, the scientists are in fact looking for
other scientists to collaborate with and help
create more canines that are requested,
or help with creating "built" canines.

We also appear to be extremely messy-"
Marley chuckles sheepishly as you hear
something fall from an overcrowded shelf.

"-so it looks like we'll need some people
to help with organization too!"

Hi all! As you can see from above,
I'm looking for other "scientists" (i.e., "artists") AND
archivists (to help with the homepage/entire
organisation of this big big mess) to
help me with my species. If you are interested
in help (pls im dying), then do PM me or comment
below!
Thanks so much!

"What a cute name!" Marley smiles.
"I'll key you into our database." he nods, ambling
away to his register and pulling out another
tablet.

After tapping in a few details, he hands you
a certificate and a set of keys. "Congratulations,

wagging his tail.
