~Open/~Closed~
Updates:
December 23, 2010 - WE ARE STARTING TO OPEN AGAIN.
[/i][/b]
NOTES:
Do not skip over the dialogue. If you do that, then you can miss important information that Kaimana and Taylor tell you. You can skip over the intro though, the part before the big light blue "Welcome" That stuff is just there for an intro, and it just introduces the characters and all.
We'd both like it if you don't order humans. Cherry doesn't like drawing them, unless you want your drawing to be a stick figure with a hat or something like that. Try to keep your orders based on animals if you can.
Walking along the street, your arms are stuffed with boxes and presents, all wrapped up. Shopping bags hang loosely from your arms, and they ache with the strain of the weight. You shudder as you hear a scuffling noise, and then shiver, hoping that it was just your imagination. It seemed to be, because then it disappears. Sighing, you shuffle along when something black and furry pops right up in front of you. "HI THERE!" You scream and drop your bags. The creature glances up at you with dark eyes, leaning up on black legs. "Whoops! Didn't mean to do that person..." the thing apologizes and crouches down to poke at your shoes. Another shape comes out of the shadows. "Kaimana, what'd you do this time? you know you shouldn't scare of innocent people." The creature pauses, as if thinking about something, and then finishes, "That's my job!"
You step back so that you can get a better view of the two animals. One looks like a ferret like creature, and the other that the ferret had called Kaimana, looked most like a black otter. They popped up around you, circling the bags that you dropped. "Sorry to scare you person." said the otter. The ferret bobbed it's head swiftly up and down. "Oh yes, it's one of her terrible habits." The otter nodded. "Yep, tis true." You pause for a moment. Who were these speaking animals? Finally, after much thinking, you manage to speak up. "Wha... What are your names?" the two animals jump around.
"I'm Kaimana as Taylor said."
"And I'm Taylor!" You frown.
"Wait... didn't she just say that?
The two animals glanced up at you like that was a no-brainer.
"Why she said what?"
"Who said why?
"I said-" You sigh. "Er... Okay..." suddenly you notice something. "You remind me of someone..."
"Who? Me-"
"Or her?"
You take a deep breath, and try to calm down. These two animals were very chatty... Where did they come from?
"Both of you." you reply. Immediately, Kaimana and Taylor start to talk again.
"Who do we remind you of?"
"Mario and whatchamacallit?"
"I think that's Woriosie..."
"Or Winnie the Po-"
"Enough!" you cry, throwing your hands up in the air. Kaimana and Taylor look at you with curious eyes. You wait, but they don't say anything. You're about to comment about that after a few minutes of silence, when the two animals interrupt you again.
"Maybe she's talking about..."
"PEEWEE!!!" Screeches Kaimana at the top of her small lungs. You wince. "You remind me of Fred and George." the two animals look at you quizzically. "Frod and who?" Taylor asks. Kaimana frowned. "Enough of that! Come come person! Come and see our shop!" You are puzzled. As you stoop to pick up your bags, you ask the two animals a question. "What shop?" but Kai and Taylor are already bounding away.
"Catch up slowpoke!"
"Don't get frostbite!" "
Stand still any longer and you'll freeze!!!"
You sigh and rub your temples as you hurry to catch up with the two animals.
~Welcome~
"Welcome to the Cherry Wolf Shop!" announces Taylor proudly as Kaimana turns on the lights. You turn around, staring in awe at the tiny shop before you. The otter bounces up and down as she jumps around the room. "Oh goody! A customer!" she said, restating the fact that you are there without need though. You glance around the room, trying to take in your surroundings, but Kaimana grabs your hand with a tiny webbed silver paw.
"Can't stop for sight seeing now. Come on, we have to show you our shop!" Still stumbling along, Taylor takes your bags and places them in a corner. You glance at a sign that was hung up in the doorway. Kaimana flips it around to say "close."
Taylor comes up and fixes you with a sever stare. "Before you see anything, you must promise that you will never, and ever steal any of this art! Me and Kaimana can't stand art stealers! No tracing, copying, or anything! Understand?" You nod, noting the ferociousness in the small ferret's voice. Kaimana bobs up and nods gravely. "If anyone does anything like that, then *boop*. Out the door they go, they don't get any more art, and we put their name on the blacklist. You can also get put on the blacklist if you have disruptive behavior, and all that bit. Now if you do get your name on the blacklist, it will say the reason why, so that you know why you have been put on the blacklist. We don't put you on the blacklist if we don't like you. We have to have a reason, so don't worry." The name "blacklist" sounded ominous, but you nod anyways. Kaimana shows you the list. "This is the blacklist." she said in a dark voice and you stare at the two. It was the first time they hadn't been talking in a while.
The Blacklist
So far, no one's on the blacklist. Let's keep it that way! :3
So far, no one's on the blacklist. Let's keep it that way! :3
Kaimana whips the list away and trots over to the table in the back of the room, and Taylor brings you over. "Here's where we take in the orders." Taylor says, pointing at the list on the table. "We have six slots for art open each time, but if all the slots are full, then the sign will say closed, until one of the slots is open. If you order while all the slots are filled, then we'll put aside your order for later. Just don't keep on jabbing it at us again and again like we didn't see your order. The first list is ones of the drawings to be drawn/sketched, and the second list is the one that Kaimana still has to color and scan in."

Kaimana nods and looks at it slowly. "If we're working on your order, your slot will say, "closed," and then your username after it, so that you know that we're working on your art." Next, you are brought over to a chart on the door that has forms on a table below. Taylor picks up the papers and hands you one, making sure you read it. "Here is the form you have to fill out when you want to order art. We need to know what you want us to draw, and how you want it to look."

You look at the last part, puzzled. "What payment? You didn't tell me anything about payment." Kaimana makes a dramatic slap to the forehead. "Taylor. We forgot the PAYMENT!!!" Taylor laughs. "That's okay, I draw for free." Kaimana makes a face. "Really, you have to stop being nice." she jokes. Kaimana turns to you. "Well, you see. Taylor draws the pictures, and I go over them with a pencil or something like that. Then, I usually color the pictures if you need them to, and I also scan them in." Taylor nods as Kaimana explains it all. "Then I post it up for you to pick up. If the drawing takes a really long time, or it is a huge order, the art would probably cost maybe one rare pet? I don't know. Most likely an uncommon. Then, if it's small and easy- oh what am I saying? Read this-"
Basically all art costs one or two uncommons. I say one or two, because Taylor is very generous, and usually does things for free. Ahem... Anyways, you can decide if you want to pay us one or two. If it is a HUGE order, and it takes a SUPER LONG time, then maybe one rare. The prices may go up because we're evil, but usually it's one or two uncommons.
So... All in alllllll... You should pay one or two uncommons, don't worry about the part that was about rares and such.
You glance up to see Kaimana and Taylor looking at you expectantly. "Er... Can I see some examples of your artwork?" you ask and Taylor jumps off to go and find some pictures. "You most certainly MAY!" she calls over her shoulder and finds tons of drawings. "I usually practice in my spare time. I really like to draw Kaimana a lot though as you can see." You nod and look through them.

Kaimana glances over at the first picture. "Taylor disliked the first Kaimanaterasu she had drawn, but it's in my signature because I still like it. Taylor got the idea from this video game called Ōkami." Taylor nods. "Her full title in that picture is Ōkami Kaimanterasu, if you wanted to know." You nod, and then the two jump up and down. Kaimana looks very excited, and has a happy look on her face. Taylor comes near you and explains. "Before we go to pickup, we want to show you our latest edition to the shop." Kaimana jumps in the air in circles. "BEETLES!" she shouts and races into a separate room. "Beetles?" you ask, but the two animals have already ran into the room, and you feel as if you should follow.

You enter a small room, with various plants and vines hanging from the ceiling and walls. All over the walls on these plants, are small little egg-shaped beetles. "So... It's like beetle day care?" you ask, and Kaimana shakes her head as Taylor plays with numerous beetles. "Naw. It's where we raise them." she says happily and brings you over to some colorful beetles on a plant, all together. Some have the exact same markings. "These are our beetles that you can adopt without any form or payment. They're always here, but sometimes they'll change. There are holiday beetles too, which is whenever that holiday is happening. Great. I'm rambling again. Taylor and I need to work on some normal beetles soon, but we'll try and get them here as soon as possible.
*Insert beetles here*
(We have to make some, but they'll be here soon.)
As Kaimana and Taylor leave you to browse the beetles, you notice beetles over in the corner of a room in a box, all of which are white. "Er... There's something wrong with these ones..." you call to Kaimana and Taylor, and they come over. "What? Oh, those? Hm... You're right! Something is wrong! They haven't been fed!" Kaimana goes over to a drawer and pulls out leaves. You stare at them, and frown. "Er... No, that's not what I was talking about. It's just, they're white." You say, as if trying to get the point to them. "We know that. That's what they're supposed to be." Kaimana says as she tries to untie the small rubber band around the leaves. Taylor starts to explain in detail.
"Well, these beetles are custom beetles. They're me and Kaimana's favorite. If you touch them, or even come in contact with one of these little guys, they'll immediately take on your markings, and accessories. Sometimes it's such a bother though, because if they touch something, they immediately change. Nothing to it." The beetles in the white tub noticed that Kaimana had food, and swarmed over the side of the tub, crowding around her, bumping into her feet, wanting food. Each of them was making a distinguished high pitched "nomnomnomnom" as they crawled towards Kaimana. Kaimana groaned. "Great." she said and you stare at her. "What?"
As the small beetles crowded around Kaimana's feet, one by one, little sparks of light went off, and the air filled with a repeated popping as the beetles hit Kaimana's fur. "They're taking my markings!" Kaimana complained and stared at the small Kaimana beetles. "Shoo. Eat your leaves somewhere else." Kaimana says and throws the lettuce across the room to another spot. "Ugh. Now we have a bunch of Kaimana look-a-likes!" Kaimana says, and turned back to the table to work on something. "Get the point?" Taylor says with a grin.
Kaimana holds out a form. "If you want one of the white beetles, you have to fill out this form."

[b]Payment:[/b]
"For the payment, you only have to pay us a common or two. The beetles are less expensive than the custom drawn art of the other things. If the beetle is very detailed, maybe one uncommon. And remember. You can't poke your beetle until you fill out the form!" Kaimana explains as some of the beetles bump again and again into Taylor's feet, inheriting her markings. Kaimana looked down at them. "They're actually quite fun." she says, poking a Taylor-beetle with her small webbed paw, and the markings quickly switched to Kaimana's. "He he. Well, I guess we should move onto the next part of the shop." Kaimana says sadly and you nod, you moving out of the small room with Taylor and Kaimana.
"And for our last part of our shop, is the pickup area." Kaimana says and jumps over to yet another table which is over in the fourth corner. Pictures of different kinds of animals and drawings border the walls on the bulletin board. Kaimana points to a list. "It'll say your user name and will post the link of the drawing along with it. And again, do NOT take any art that isn't yours!" Kaimana states firmly.

Beetle Pick-Up
(NOTE: If you need any touches, like erasing some marks, going over lines to make the drawing darker, or changing the size, we can do that and you don't have to pay for us to edit your order/picture. Medium sizes usually look small, so we can quickly change the size if you need it to be changed. :3 )
We'd like it if you used it or posted it somewhere, so that it isn't lost. We won't delete any pickups even if you haven't gotten to it in a while, so don't worry.
Kaimana looks up at you and Taylor jumps around. "Will you buy some art?" the ferret asks. Kaimana steps forward before you can open your mouth to reply. "Oh, and also, it will say when the shop is closed or not. Just look at the title." You frown, but nod. Taylor repeats her words again. "Will you buy some art?" you think for a moment. "What can I do if I don't have any pets?"
Kaimana thinks. "On rare occasions we do art trades, but we'd like a sample of your art first. And please, don't just smack it together and do some random drawing. We don't want to trade you a piece of art and in return get a drawing that you drew in five minutes. We'd like it if you stuck with the pets for payment though."
You think this over. "Okay, I'll buy some art. I'll get the pets to you soon." Taylor steps forward before you are able to leave. "A few things before you go. One, don't scam us and never give us the pets. We promise not to scam you. So, we'll send you the art and you have to send the trade to us. If you scam us and never give us our payment, that's another way to get on the blacklist. Now fill out a form and we'll get the picture to you." You nod and note the part about scamming them, and how that's not good. You fill in the form and start to walk out the door.
"Thank you, both of you. It was fun." Kaimana and Taylor nod quickly. "Come back in a day or two." You reply yes and walk out the door, leaving the warm insides of the shop and out into the cold winter world, heading to your home. As you leave, you glance back over your shoulder and smile to yourself, seeing two heads watching through the windows. Turning, you head home, your spirits now lifted from your visit with the two animals.
~The End~
I will try to post more examples of Cherry's art when i get the time, and if she draws any more that she wants me to use. Thank you for your time and effort,
~Kaimana and Taylor
(In other words...)
~HD and CS
On your account.
Curruptin' your soulz.
