| melynxt10-22-03, 03:47 AM | *a small stone building has been constructed in a 12' x 12' stall of the marketplace in the emporium of the plane of juxtaposition. On the outside, simple stone walls, painted with intricate dragons battling in the clouds and seas. A large hand carved plaque of dark cherry wood hangs above the front door. The sign reads, in caligraphy style writing, in common "Kuhtatz Studio". In the upper right corner of the sign is an ornately carved were tiger, arms crossed about his chest, at the ready. The door is of a sturdy oak, with steel hinges and framing. There are many full length windows in the building, letting most any onlooker see into the structure with ease. The inside of the small building reveals a forest green portal entrance, which when walked through, takes you to a half plane, the actual studio is much larger than the 12ft x 12ft stall building, and the portal allows users to actually be in both juxtaposition, and the studio, at once. Though the studio itself is on another plane, this portal still lets the ongoings of juxta, stay connected to the inside of the actual studio ((so basically, when you're in the studio, it will seem to onlookers outside, that you are in the small building, the building itself is magicked, making such a large construction to be possible and still have the small dimensions required by the marketplace )).* *Melynxt flings the door open in the early hours of the afternoon. Propping it open with a stool, she returns back inside for a moment, stepping back out, with a small leather pouch. She opens the pouch, and dozens of small lighted creatures, flitter out, and hover about in decoration and lighting, letting all those present in the marketplace, know Kuhtatz Studio is open once again, for business.* *She slips back inside, with a smile of satisfaction on her lips, as she goes through the daily paperwork on the front desk. Taking a seat and crossing her ankles underneath the solid wooden chair, she lifts the stopper of the inkwell and dabs her favorite quill pen into the swirling liquid of black turning silver turning black turning gold and back again. She begins to sign forms, and jot things down, as brown hair hangs in her emerald eyes, she speaks aloud, though no one else is present just yet.* "It's gonna be a good day i think..." ((ooc, everyone and anyone is welcome to post here and rp. The Kuhtatz Studio is several things. Thusly, listed as follows: 1. Tattoo artistry 2. Body peircings/jewelry ect 3. Weopons engravery, customizing (in the forms of engraving, designs, artistry type things.) 4. Live portrait sittings (great for gifts ..or to keep memories..since there was nothing such as a photo, mely paints most anything in 1 hour or less ;) .)) (( For a map layout of what melynxt's shop looks like, here is a couple links for you :) MapKey (http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/keymapcolor.jpg) Kuhtatz Studio Map Layout (http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/melysshop.jpg) There you go, and hope to see some good rp :D )) |
| kulideb10-23-03, 05:19 AM | Kulideb wandered in to the new shop. There seemed to be plenty to see and the workmanship of all the goods looked like top quality. "Hello, I have a couple of things I need help with. The first is a new chain for my locket and I also wondered if you could engrave my dagger with a forest design." The small elf held out a locket with a design of mask on it and a plain but good quality dagger. |
| melynxt10-29-03, 09:35 PM | *Mely stands up and brushes a bit of brown hair from her eyes as the small elf enters, and offers up the locket and dagger. She smiles* "Great, hmm, let's see. Why dun cha sit down here at tha front desk with me, an we'll see what we can do 'bout tha dagger engravement. Hmmm, I dun have any chains here of much value right now. But iffin' ya can tell me what ya're lookin' for, I'm sure i can find it in a few days?" *She gestures to the chair in front of the main desk, and retakes her seat, crossing her ankles underneath the chair, looking to the elf with a slightly appraising look, smiling warmly* |
| Agudo Archmage10-29-03, 11:17 PM | ((OOC it would seem your map location have been revoked!)) http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley The Archmage of Light was brushing off his blue and white robe, from the breadcrumbs. When he saw the new shop, and the nicely done sign. He turns to the lovely baker woman, of mixed heritage. She was half Hobbit and half Gnome. “Thank you kind lady for this fresh bread, here is two coppers for your trouble.” As the baker thanked him and went about her business Agudo turned his head to look At Lady Hoot, his wise white owl; for she was sitting on his shoulder. “What do say? Do feel like a little shopping today?” Lady Hoot gave a wink and the two walked up to the window and saw Kulideb, his bright student from his school of Light. Agudo waved at her through the window and smiled. |
| melynxt10-29-03, 11:52 PM | ((ooc, thanks for letting me know, and i've solved the problem :D all fixed)) |
| kulideb10-30-03, 03:32 AM | Kulideb sat down at the main desk, she waved to the Archmage as he went past. "The chain needs to be silver but as I have a habit of breaking them I could do with some thing a little stronger, but still looks silver. If you could draw up some designs for the dagger I would be greatfull." She smiled at Melynxt and placed a few coins on the desk. "I can put down a deposit now and then pay the rest in a few days when I come to look at the designs, if that is alright with you." |
| Agudo Archmage10-30-03, 02:14 PM | .http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley Agudo and Lady Hoot walk along the sidewalk an enter through the wooden door. He sees Kulideb and the owner talking, and chooses not to disrupt the clasic deal making going on. He looks at the several things that are for sale and touching some to get a better feel for them. He asks Lady Hoot for ideas on what art work she likes and takes his time in the store |
| melynxt10-31-03, 04:46 PM | *Melynxt smiles and takes out a bit of parchment and her favorite tattered, and worn white pen quill. She places them in front of her and then retrieves a small clear glass inkwell from her desk. The ink seems to change from black to gold to black to silver to black again, constantly. She dips the quill tip in, and runs her hand over the parchment to flatten it, before looking to Kulideb.* "Alright then hun, so ya want a silvery lookin' chain, an' then ya want this dagger designed eh? Hmm, lemme draw up a quick sketch of what i'm thinkin' of fer this dagger, an' ya can lemme know iffin' ya like it, kay?" *With that, she begins to lightly and swiftly sketch upon the parchment, the quill tip just barely touching it's surface, leaving faint ink trails. The ink, once onto the parchment, continues it's constant changing effects. The sketch quickly takes on the appearance of a small grove of trees, off in the horizon, a cliff type mountain. The scene appears to be at night, since there is what could be a full moon just hovering above the cliff in the background. Mely begins sketching what could be a wolf howling into the night sky. She then begins working in the vague layout of the small grove of trees. Giving life to every part of it, it appears to jump out at kulideb, from the paper, the rough sketch seemingly that well done already.* *Mely pauses, and smiles , turning the parchment about and offering it to Kulideb as she wipes a bit of ink from her palm onto her blouse* "So, what ya think bout that eh? Iffin' ya had any particular ideas bout it, ya can jus lemme know an' i can draw that up instead." *Mely's eyes wander toward the newcomer in her shop, and she smiles warmly to him and his company, waving a bit.* "Welcome ta' Kuhtatz Studio. Iffin' ya need anything, or jus' have a question or anything, jus' lemme know eh? Name's Melynxt, er jus' Mely. Feel free ta wander 'bout an' take a bit of a tour iffin ya want." *She looks back to Kulideb and awaits the appraisel of her quick sketch idea.* -------http://www.angelfire.com/moon/fallen_heart/Custom_Smileys/Requests/Melynxt_mutation2.gif------- |
| Gene_Kynes10-31-03, 04:58 PM | (( Heh...slight warning, I won't be able to post too often. Sorry 'bout that! (But hey...'least I'm trying!) )) As if he had been standing there the entire time, the darkly-clothed man appeared in the corner of Melynxt's vision, as if he had known when he'd only be partially noticed. Much like it's user, the enterance wasn't flashy at all, merely...unexpected. Wearing his typical threads of black, gray, and and white shades, a tattered, torn black cloak, and no visible shine on his entire neck-down body, Gene seems as colorful as the plane he's tied to in fashion sense...but his features tell another story. Exotic, with a certain romance clinging to them, deep blue eyes with a sunburst of crimson within are partially concealed by strands of white hair stained with black. Yet seemingly...just when whomever was looking at him, his hair suddenly became jet-black, his eyes becoming red rimmed with an ice blue. Shadow and entropy both seemed to gather around him, but not in ways openly noticable. As more shade leaves him (If any (Agudo?) are particularly sensitive to magic, they could tell he used a Shadowjump), you can make out very concealing clothing...to the point where you can't tell his body form beneath the black overshirt, gray undershirt, and cloak. Acting as if his enterance was as normal was any, Gene silently watched Kulideb, Agudo, and Melynxt, lightly tanned features tilted down...appearently fascinated with the floor. At least, after noticing there were others in the artist's shop. |
| kulideb10-31-03, 06:04 PM | "Its wonderfull! How long would it take to engrave on to the dagger?" She was amazed at Melynxt skill. She looked over to Agudo and noticed Gene. "Hello." "Would you mind if I carry on looking round while you work out how long it would take to do the engraving?" There seemed to be so much to see in the shop and kulideb had seen some thing she liked for her friend Sanctus. |
| Agudo Archmage11-01-03, 12:36 AM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley The voice of the shopkeeper brought him out of his amusements. “Whats that? Why yes of course you may help, as long as it doesn’t enterfear with my good friend Kulideb.” Agudo tips his hat to both Ladies. “If you have a time, I would like to get a large portrait of myself and Lady Hoot.” Agudo points to the white owl sitting on his shoulder. Just then a familiar person appears in the room, using shadow magic. Agudo recognizes the type of magic, before he sees the new comer. But already knowing whom it is Agudo smiles. “Gene it’s a small realm, I am so glad to see you” Agudo puts his arm around the shoulder of Gene in a friendly gesture. “I am sure already seen your fellow school mate, and student Kulideb.” |
| Gene_Kynes11-01-03, 01:11 AM | Gene's body flinched, as he actually took a step back from Agudo. However, he soon covers his error by tilting his head down again. "Not used to physical contact, Mister Agudo. Forgive me. Greetings to you, Mister Agudo and Miss Kulideb." The young man's moods had been fluctuating lately...from calm, quiet, respectful and reserved...to treating everyone as an equal, becoming the typical talkative rogue. "If you would not mind my boldness in asking a question...do we just...wait?" |
| melynxt11-01-03, 03:58 AM | *Melynxt smiles as she speaks to Kulideb* "Ya're welcome ta' look round anywhere ya like hun. An' i'm thinkin' prolly bout three days time I can have tha' sketch finished and engrave it onta' ya dagger here. As well as tha' chain ya wanted. Go on then, have a look round, when ya're all done, jus lemme know, an ya can sign a few forms for tha legal matters, mainly sayin' what condition ya dagger was turned in as, an' all that. I'm afraid I can't quote ya a price till I'm done though. I charge by tha hour on engravin' so will have ta wait on that, if that's alright eh?" *Mely's eyes turn toward the man with the white owl on his shoulder and she smiles, slipping Kulideb's dagger and her sketch away into one of the locked drawers of her desk. Brown whisps of hair hung in her eyes as she spoke.* "Well sure hun, I can do a portrait of ya an' ya little friend there." *She slides open another drawer on the desk, and removes a quill, predipped in ink, and a thin parchment clipped onto a board. She stands and offers the clipboard and quill pen to the man with the owl, her smile a pleasant, if not optimistic one.* "Alright then, jus' need ya ta' fill out this form for me, iffin' that's ok?" *The parchment basically has a few legal things to fill out, stating that the artist holds the rights to the portrait, and that it is agreed on that she will be paid ___gp an hour. (This is basically up to the customer on how much they want to offer Mely. She does it more for enjoyment than to earn money, but if it's too low, she could be insulted. :D ). Lastly, at the bottom, a small paragraph, stating that the signer of the form was satisfied with the finished product 100%, and a place to sign one's name is left blank.* "Ok then, jus fill this top part out, there's a place ta sit o'er here" *she gestures toward the waiting area with a wave of her hand* "Ya dun have ta sign tha bottom til' we're all done with tha portrait sittin', an' ya're happy with what ya got eh? Heh, okay then." *Her attention is drawn to the man who magicked himself next to the man with the white owl. She smiles after a moments shock.* "Oh, well hello ta' ya too eh? An what can I help ya with, sir?" *Mely glances back to Kulideb as she awaits the replies from the other two men. A light scent of jasmine is noticed in the air around her. Also, on the wall next to the front door, a corkboard is hung. Hanging from it, on a chain of silver links, is a hard back, black leather bound book of thin parchments. Embossed in gold which changes to silver and black and back again, constantly, on the front cover: "The Black Book of Stories". A light breeze blows in from the open door, and the book swings lightly on it's chain, bouncing into the wall with a light clinking sound, repetitively.* |
| kulideb11-01-03, 06:06 AM | "That sounds fine my lady." Kulideb got up and looked around the shop. There were some sturdy silver chains that she thought might do for her locket and a gold rope chain that she thought she might buy for her friend sanctus. A slight clinking sound drew her to a strange book on a chain, as she had a great love of books Kulideb went to touch it, but remembered her maners. "Is it all right if I look at this book my lady?" she hoped the shop owner and Agudo wouldnt think her rude for interupting them. She looked back to the strange cover of the book, the way it kept changing reminded her of some one. She looked over to Gene and smiled. |
| Agudo Archmage11-01-03, 09:46 AM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley The merchant handed him a contract to read, and pointed to a place to sit and wait. He puts on his spectacles and reads it carefully. Even sprinkling some magic dust on it, to see if anything was hidden. Once satisfied the mage takes the quill and writes the following coinage. ^^^^ Average job receives - 5 shekels and two silver coins. *Per hour* Above Average job receives -12 silver peaces and 3 gold coins. * Per Hour* Good to Excellent receives anywhere from -15 gold coins to 30 gold *Per Hour* (Mind you Good & Excellent mean like the artist Prism from Balduars Gate) ^^^^ “Thank you kind shopkeeper, allow me to introduce myself and my friend. This Lady Hoot a lovely white owl if I ever saw one. The white owl smiles as only an enchanted creature can do. “I am truly pleased to meet you, and may all your customers treat you farley and wisely.” Agudo nodded his head in agreement. “And I am Agudo Headmaster at the School of Light. I could go on with my other titles but…. My ego is under control today.” He gives a wink to the merchant. Just then Kulideb picks up a familiar book. “By the Light! Is that the same book I have read in the Crossroad Tavern?” Agudo returns his gaze to the merchant and smiles. “I have enjoyed those particular writings for some time. Are you the writer of that book?” |
| melynxt11-01-03, 12:19 PM | *Mely smiles modestly, and nods to Kulideb.* " 'Course ya can hun, it's there for all who wish ta read it." *She turns her eyes back to Agudo and Lady Hoot, and smiles as the owl talks: "Why thank ya miss, I've never met one like ya b'fore, I feel privelidged ta have ya in my shop." *Mely pauses as Agudo asks her about the book, but she smiles modestly once more* "Ya I think there's still uh copy of tha' book in tha tavern, though it's been vandalized a few times. Nothin' special bout it though, I jus write bout what i see an who i know." *Her cheeks seem to flush slightly, and she smiles a bit more.* |
| kulideb11-01-03, 02:13 PM | Kulideb took up the book and began to read. |
| Gene_Kynes11-01-03, 04:02 PM | Gene blinks, and looks up at the artist. "I...would like something removed, and would like something added...in tattooing, Miss." His arms cross slightly, as he approaches the desk, gaze still staying away from eye-level, now glancing at the desk. "Are you able to do such, Miss?" |
| kulideb11-01-03, 04:17 PM | Kulideb closed the book. "Its very well written." she said. She went over to Mely to pay for the chains, she couldnt help but over hear what gene said. Her mind went back to watching him practice with a sword at the school and the tattoos that she had seen on him. |
| melynxt11-01-03, 07:58 PM | *Mely smiles as she nods to Gene, leaning on the edge of the desk.* "Sure can hun. But I have ta tell ya, removin' tattoos is well, rather painful. But once it's removed I can heal it with a bit of a magicked paste, an then put tha new tattoo atop it, sure no problem hun. What ya have in mind? An iffin' ya want privacy ta show me what ya want removed, we can step inta tha curtained area o'er here." *She gestures toward the burgandy curtained off section of the main room, used for tattooing.* *Mely then lets her attention slip to Kulideb and she smiles, seeing that she has found something to her liking, she draws up a quick receipt with her favorite quill pen and a bit of parchment. On the till, she rings it in, and if Kulideb is watching while she does so, she would see that Mely took a discount on both chains, a good 15% off each estimated. Mely hits the till drawer trigger, and it chings open with a soft sound. She looks to Kulideb.* "Alright then hun, find what ya like? Let's see, two chains, 5gp for tha one, an 10gp for tha other, so ta'gether it be 15 gold. An keep this bit uh parchment here, iffin' tha chains ever break, bring em back with it, an i'll replace em, free uh charge eh?" *Mely smiles, offering the small bit of parchment, with her signature on it, and the listed items purchased. Her gaze wanders toward Gene once more.* *She thinks: "I wonder what he wants removed...hmm...they must all know one another...ah well, Mely ya think too much. I wonder iffin Zaxx will come round soon. .....I miss him."* *Her expression takes on one of longing, as a loving smile slips onto her lips, she seems lost in a memory, for a moment, zoning out* ((Ooc: Melynxt's Black Book of Stories, can be found here, for reading, ect : Black Book of Stories, By: Melynxt Japhaasd (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53787) . Also, on the corkboard where the book hangs, ads can be posted, and requests, if no one is here, just about anything can be posted there, and mely will see it :) )) |
| Agudo Archmage11-01-03, 09:44 PM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley As Gene was…well discussing his delicate needs, with the merchant and Kulideb was expanding her jewelry box. Agudo handed back the paper, that the shopkeeper had given him. “ I believe you will find everything in order, on your contract lady shopkeeper. Also as long as I have your attention, did I miss hearing your name?” |
| melynxt11-01-03, 11:01 PM | *She blinks after a moment, hearing someone talking to her, she comes out of her little daze, her cheeks and ears flushing a very faint red, as brown locks of satin hair hang in her eyes.* *Mely smiles as she takes back the board with the attached parchment contract on it. She looks it over a moment and slips it onto her desk.* "My name? Ya, it's Melynxt, er jus' Mely, if ya like, sir. Hmm now what sort of portrait were ya hopin' for? Paintin', Charcoal, graphite sketch, ink? Anything in particular ? An how would ya like ta be drawn, have ya thought of a pose yet? Iffin' not, I have a small booklet with examples of various poses that are most popular here? " *With that, she reaches into yet another drawer of the large desk, and removes a small blue leather bound book of parchments, and holds it to her chest, waiting for a reply. As she does, she glances toward Kulideb, and smiles, hoping she's found everything to her liking.* |
| Gene_Kynes11-01-03, 11:19 PM | Gene makes eye contact for the briefest of moments, and...now his eyes have become an eerie circle of blue within crimson. "Privacy would be...appreciated, Miss." His eyes fall once again. One slip of her attention or hand would- Nevermind. You get a nice black mark across your back, you get a nice black mark 'cross your back. Nothing major. "What I have in mind is...simply put, a design, Miss. I wish not to...pressure you, perhaps make you feel like you've a waiting list. I have all day for this, if need be." |
| Agudo Archmage11-02-03, 12:22 AM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley The proprietor introduces herself as Mely and asks about what type of painting. “That’s a wonderful name if I may say so, miss Mely” Agudo gives a bow. “As far as what kind? Well I was thinking oil paint.” She hands him a book of art sealing with poses, he kindly accepts. “Thank you I will look this over, yet I was thinking of a standing pose. Just come get me, Ill be waiting for you by the chair near the window. But latter I may wish to read your book. I am always looking for inspiration to my own ideas. For I am a writer myself, and have just completed my second book called (Travel Guide to the Realms by Agudo) “You may have heard of my first book as well called (History of the Realms by Agudo) “No? Oh well anyway like I said, Ill be over here when your ready to paint Lady Hoot and I” |
| melynxt11-02-03, 01:14 PM | *Mely smiles and nods to the man with the white owl.* "I don't get much chance ta read these days, sir. But shouldn't take but a few moments, jus need ta get tha details on this other gentleman's request an i'll be right with ya." *She then looks toward Gene and gestures toward the curtained area once more.* "Alright then hun, we can go in here an ya can show me what ya need removed, an we can set up an appoinment an what not, iffin ya can't wait til after I'm through with tha oil paintin'? Iffin' ya can wait, I should be able ta help ya in bout an hour eh? Ok then, lets see what we got." *Mely makes her way over to the curtained off area, and waits for Gene to do the same, as she slides the curtain closed with a smile. She calls out to Kulideb and the man with the white owl.* "Feel free ta look o'er tha various parchments and books in tha waitin' area. An I thank ya for ya patience!" *She resumes her almost shy look, brown tresses hanging in her eyes, a soft smile on her lips as she waits for Gene.* |
| Gene_Kynes11-02-03, 02:03 PM | Gene nods to the artist, making his way towards the curtained area...however, when he passes Melynxt, he pauses. "I can wait." -then he continues in. Once she curtains off the area, he removes his cloak and overshirt, revealing scars along his arms..yet they each seem to hold a single symbol on them, all of them different. Grabbing the back of his shirt, he then manages to pull soley the back of his shirt up...revealing a rather odd form of body art. A complex, twisting, interlacing design integrating both fine scars and thin tattooing seems to be what he wants removed, something that would have an artistic appeal to it...had the viewer pay no heed to what scars entailed. It seems to be thickest at his lower back, then dissapearing underneath black fabric. "Everything you can remove of this, I'd like removed." He then lets the shirt drop back into place. Turning back to her, he sighs. "Can you?" |
| kulideb11-02-03, 04:23 PM | Kulideb thanked Mely, she was pleasantly surprised by the discount. "oh thank you". she handed over the money and carried on looking round. |
| melynxt11-02-03, 05:22 PM | *Mely watched as Gene turned his back to her and raised the back of his shirt up. She ran her fingers over the markings on his back, studying them for a time. After a few minutes, she nods to herself, and smiles as she speaks.* "I think we can remove it all hun, but I'm tellin' ya, it's gonna reallllly hurt. But once tha layer uh skin is gone, I can smooth on a thick coat uh this 'ere magicked paste, an ya'll be healed an ready ta have whatever ya want done, done."*As she speaks of the paste, she opens a drawer of a small stand in the curtained area, and removes a large pouch of softened leather, sinched at the top. She squishes the contents inside, through the pouch, in one hand, and smiles.* "I'll need ya ta fill out a bit uh paper work though. With tha riskiness uh this removal, I want ta make sure ya understand tha possibilities eh?" *She slips her hand into the drawer once more, and removes a clipboard with a parchment form attached, and a quill pen. She offers them to Gene and smiles, gesturing to the stool nearby.* "Jus' fill it out best ya can, an sign tha bottom, an we can start talkin' bout what ya would like done after tha' is removed eh?" *The form is simple. At the top, it states in a small paragraph, that Melynxt is not liable for injury or death due to the removal of the body art, in any shape or form. It explains the details of the removal, depicting how she will use a thin layer of acid to remove the top layer of skin, and how the magicked paste neutralizes the acid while healing the area as well. At the bottom of the page, a place to sign. Mely has written in the price for the removal, at 200gp. There is a blank spot for the price of any additional tattooing ect.* "Ya're welcome hun!" *Mely speaks slightly louder to Kulideb, before turning her eyes back to Gene* |
| Gene_Kynes11-02-03, 06:09 PM | Gene's muscle flinches at her touch, and Gene himself nearly follows suit. "I wouldn't worry about 'the possibilities', Miss." He then takes the clipboard, and fills in each detail with his slow, oddly exotic handwriting...a handwriting that still hasn't improved by much. After setting the clipboard aside, he digs through his cloak...and pulls out something shiny, small, and loose. Further inspection reveals twenty-five platinum coins with holes stamped through them, all on a loop of string. "This...should suffice. The extra is to cover the conversion cost to turn this into more practical gold or silver pieces, and perhaps...as a forward on the tattooing, Miss." He still doesn't seem to know her name, oddly enough. |
| melynxt11-03-03, 08:21 PM | *Mely smiles at Gene and waves off the payment as she takes the clipboard and form from him.* "Hold onta it til ya're satisfied eh? Never pay til ya happy with my work, is what i say. By tha way, name's Melynxt, er jus Mely, if ya like. Sorry, been a rather busy morn, anyway, what sort uh tattoo ya lookin' for after we remove tha other? There's near uh thousand examples up on tha walls 'ere, iffin' ya would like ta look round while I do this man's portrait eh?" *Mely smiles, brushing a bit of hair from her eyes as she slides the curtain open once more. She then speaks to the man with the white owl. "Alright then Sir, whenever ya're ready, jus' lemme know an we can begin tha portrait. Jus have ta prep tha room fer a new sittin' an i'll be right with ya, m'k?" *Mely walks to the front desk, slipping up behind it, and sliding Gene's form off the clipboard and into a small basket with a small wooden sign attached, reading: "ta do". She puts the clipboard away, and walks toward a large wooden door just behind the desk. The name on the door is painted on, in gold caligraphy. It reads: "Live Portrait Room" . She pushes it open and smiles once to all those present, propping the door open on the inside, she moves over to several half-back sofa's of a cream colored satin material, and arranges a few throw pillows of burgandy hues. Various props line the walls on tables in this room. Different types of light sources, drop down backgrounds hanging from the ceiling behind each of the sofas, various chairs and decorative decor is available in the room. It's obvious that there is virtually any sort of style available as a background for potential customers. Mely wheels over a large wooden stand with several pull out drawers, along with several glass jars of clear liquids on its side in holders of silvery metal. She places it next to an easel, and turns, slipping into a small closet and pulling out a standard sized canvas, setting it on the easel. She pauses as she sets it on the easel, thinking to herself, before calling out to the man with the white owl. "Do ya want tha portrait ta be larger than normal, smaller than normal, or jus a normal sized? Or anything special bout tha sizing , like tha shape er what not?" *her voice is gentle, but a hint of business like tone sneaks into her feminine tones.* *She waits for the answer, leaving the normal sized canvas on the easel for now, and begins readying the various oil paints. Squeezing them from each of their tubes, onto a pallette of a light colored wood. She then takes out several paintbrushes of all sizes, and places them next to the pallette. Rummaging through her pockets, she pulls out a strip of softened leather, and ties her hair back. Several peices of brown hair slip from the tieback, and into her eyes. She 'phhts' at them with a breath of air, smirking to herself at just how often her hair ends up in her face. She moves to stand in the doorway, looking toward the man with the white owl, a smile on her face, as she awaits his answer on the canvas details.* |
| Agudo Archmage11-03-03, 11:10 PM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley Lady Hoot was pointing out various calligraphies in some old scrolls. When Mely called out that she was ready. Agudo stood and put out his arm for Hoot to hop on ,and walked over to her painting room. “Well I see you have a large assortment of props, not to sound egotistical. But I am wanting the picture to be focused on Lady Hoot and myself. A simple but artistic coloration of background will be fine. As far as your question on size, I will want a large wall painting. About five feet or so will do nicely.” Agudo then takes out a folded cloth from his pocket. He shakes it and with slight pop it unfolds into a large pointy hat; with well-rounded brim, in the classic blue and white coloring he wears. “Now just because my hat is pointy doesn’t mean my head is.” He smiles then stands straight as he poses with Lady Hoot on his arm. “Oh I almost forgot” He snaps his fingers and an enchanted staff, sparkles into his free hand. “Now I am ready” |
| kulideb11-05-03, 05:42 AM | Kulideb gazed at all the wonderful art work. When Mely came out to tell the Archmage she was ready for him kulideb asked her. "Have you ever thought of teaching?" |
| Gene_Kynes11-05-03, 07:17 PM | Gene shakes his head, and persists with the offering of the coin-chain. "Consider this a...show of trust. If you do not trust yourself to do this, should I be worried about your...ability?" Ugh. Keep on paying like that, Gene, and you'll have to start your...erm...services, again. |
| melynxt11-12-03, 11:44 AM | *Mely pauses in the door way as the man with the white owl passes through and gets situated. She smiles at Kulideb and ponders a moment.* "Hmm, could do that couldn't I...are ya in'trested hun?" *Mely lofts a brow at Gene slightly and takes the payment, setting it on the desk in the tip jar for now.* "I trust myself completely, but I want ta make sure I do 'zactly what ya want 'fore ya pay. But have it ya're way, i'll jus keep it in here fer now then eh?" *Mely turns and heads back into the room with the man with the white owl. She calls out to the other two, before shutting the door. "Won't take but an hour er so, feel free ta explore iffin ya like."* *She smiles and takes out the appropriate sized canvas the man requested. Switching it out with the one already in place, she looks to him, as his staff appears.* "Ooh neat, magicked eh? Alright then...Now iffin' ya'll jus hol' still fer bout an hour, we'll be all set." *Mely picks up a bit of charcoal and begins sketching out the base design for the portrait upon the paper. Several stray bits of hair hang in her eyes, but she seems intent and perhaps so focused on her project, that she doesn't even notice the slight obstruction. Soft sounds of the charcoal against the rough canvas can be heard.* ((ooc sorry im in the middle of a move, and its hard to get here, hope you all can handle that :D hehe ok then, thanks for your patience)) |
| Agudo Archmage11-12-03, 01:55 PM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley Agudo smiles as well as Hoot to the artists and stays still, as she prepares the drawing for the painting. |
| Agudo Archmage11-20-03, 10:10 PM | SHAMELESS BUMP! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: |
| melynxt11-27-03, 01:14 PM | *Mely takes up some various tubes of paint and squeezes a bit of each out on to her pallette of wood. She tilts her head slightly, gazing toward the man with the white owl, studying his pose it would seem, a gentle smile on her face, she squints her eyes.* "Ok then, hope ya can hol' still fer uh bit...here we go then" *She picks up one of her favorite medium tipped brushes, and dips it into the proper light hued paints first. Wiping the charcoal from her other hand across her breeches, she begins the painting with delicate light quick strokes.* ((ooc sorry once again..i hate movind :P lol..am trying to get on here :D )) |
| kulideb11-27-03, 04:16 PM | "I would love to learn how to paint and draw." the elf said with a sigh as she carried on looking at all the wonderfull things in the shop. |
| melynxt11-30-03, 04:37 PM | *After putting down the base colorings of the painting, mely changes brushes, to a thinner tipped one. Taking up a darker hued acrylic, she begins to put in details, lines in which to have the picture stand out. Squinting all the while, she leans closer, her wrist flicking gently as she finishes the outline. Trading out brushes once more, she takes up a broader tipped one, with a softer bristle. Glancing back and forth from the pose of the man and his owl, to the canvas, she begins to tediously and meticulously layer on the different shades of skin tones and cloth colorings. To a normal person, her quickness at such a detailed painting, is astounding. Brushing her hair from her eyes, she takes a step back after near half an hour of constant painting. She takes up a tiny tiny brush, and draws in the appropriate eyelashes and feathering tips ect, before smiling brightly, and rubbing her eyes with a balled fist. She speaks happily, to the man with the white owl. * "Alright then, it's done...I can't really see right now..but i think it's pretty good...why dun cha come an' see what ya think eh? If ya like it, i can have it d'livered in tha morn, when it's dry?" *She waits, taking up a small rag and wiping her hands, turning her head as she hears Kulideb, smiling a bit as she talks to herself, thinking outloud it would seem* "Maybe..i could...open a school.........to teach art....but....how ta do that......hmmm" |
| Gene_Kynes11-30-03, 10:01 PM | He did it again, this time without meaning it to. He was standing suddenly behind the artist, arms crossed...eyes burning like twin stars in one's mind. Exotic or amazingly creepy, it was up to the beholder. As the strange embers in his eyes died out, something Agudo knew as the occaisonal side-effect of a particularly bad Shadowjump, Gene spoke. "It's as simple as it seems. But how one woman can trust others to properly portray the true meaning of art, however...is an entirely new game." He steps back from his already-relatively distant spacing from her, and motions to a rough sketch...appearently scratched onto the back of a book of his. He then steps forward, and offered it. If she bothers to read the front, it merely says "Nocturnes". The design is merely an amazingly minimalist image of a phoenix, lacking much face or detail, it's emphasis being on shape and color. Black and purple inks take colors of the bird's flames, and the work has particularly bold outlining...but nothing else seems to be visible within the tattoo. "Is this acceptable?" |
| Agudo Archmage11-30-03, 10:42 PM | As Kulideb and Gene speak with the talented artist, Agudo stretches for a moment then walks over to his picture. He mumbles something to Hoot, whom smiles at his jest. “I was just saying to Lady Hoot that I didn’t know how good looking I was, until I saw this painting. You must have used artist liberty, in making this wonderful work of art.” He smiles and shakes the hand of Mely. “Yes please have it delivered the Agudo school of Light and Magic as soon as possible. Here is your tip plus the rest that I owe you, have a good day.” With a wave of his hand, he said good by to Kulideb, and Gene as he walked out the door |
| melynxt12-01-03, 12:17 AM | *blinks and jumps slightly with a start, as Gene appears behind her and speaks. She turns with a smile and takes the offered book. Turning it to the front, she reads the title, before turning it back to look at the sketch. She smiles, nodding before looking to the man with the owl and blushing slightly "I jus' put ta paint what I see, an it will be delivered for ya in tha morn, an thank ya, please dun be a stranger, always welcome Agudo sir." *Mely takes the payment and tip and slips it into a locked drawer of her supply cabinet. She then returns to looking at the sketch. Walking toward the door to the main area, she gestures for Gene to follow.* "Wow, did ya draw this? Ya're pretty good hun...an ya're right about what ya said...it bein' simple...but art can be anythin' ya know...iffin' ya dream, iffin' ya wonder, iffin' ya feel emotions...ya can become an artist...e'vryone's an artist in tha're hearts ya know..." *She walks out to the front desk and sets the designed book down, sketch face up. She looks toward the browsing elf, and smiles to herself before looking back toward Gene.* "Perhaps after I've removed ya tattoo an' put this one on for ya, ya an ya're elf friend there might be in'trested in talkin' bout tha makin's of an Art School eh? Tha man with tha owl, Agudo, he's uh teacher right? Maybe he could help me with tha designs fer it an what not..hmm...quite an idea ya have there, miss Kulideb...been thinkin' bout that in tha back of my mind fer ages...." |
| kulideb12-01-03, 04:35 AM | Kulideb looked at the finished painting. "Oh, its so life like!" "If you arn't to sure about setting up your own school Mely, may be you could start a class at Agudos school?" the small elf said. "That way you could see how much intrest there is before going to the expence of opening your own school." She looked over at the sketch that Gene had handed to Mely. "Did you design it ?" she asks Gene. |
| Agudo Archmage12-01-03, 10:07 AM | http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongagudo.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley Agudo was just outside puting up a notice, when he over heard Kulideb talk about the school. He makes another copy of the note and walks back in. "Hi everyone I heard something about teaching and thought I would leave this notice here as well. Hope to see you at my school Mely" He smiles once more then walks outside. Its says the following information. **** Attention job opening at the Agudo school of Light and Magic. Needed one Bard, to teach basic musical and artistic skills like painting and writing. Please apply in person at the school Thank you Agudo Headmaster. (OOC the school is located on the MOP boards) |
| melynxt12-01-03, 12:17 PM | *mely blinks, at the sudden coincidence, and reads the offered note. She smiles as he leaves, and looks to Kulideb and Gene* "hmm, maybe that'd be best...dun wanna spend all my money iffin' no one's in'trested ....so um..what's this school...like?" *She looks at Gene, and back to Kulideb, and back to Gene* "Iffin' ya'd like, we can begin ya're removal ta'morrow, an tha' night we can do ya new tattoo...iffin' that's alright Gene?" *she thinks: "um...what about this music part....i cant sing! er..maybe he'll ferget bout that part......" |
| kulideb12-02-03, 05:04 AM | Kulideb smiled at Mely. "Oh! its a wonderful school, Gene teaches there too." she said looking over to Gene. "Its not to far away, just past the town, down the road, through the woods. And i'm sure that the Archmage would be able to find some one else to teach the singing part." She stopped to take a breath. |
| melynxt12-04-03, 10:32 PM | *She smiles as she nods a bit to Kulideb* "Perhaps ya could take me there some time eh? Iffin this is ta be done right, have ta see tha place first, 'course, that is, iffin ya're not busy.." *She looks at Gene and smiles* "If ya'd like ta make an appointment, fer another day, we can do that...ya seem kinda...busy...?" *she brushes a bit of hair from her eyes as she fidgets with the paper the man with the white owl gave her.* |
| melynxt12-11-03, 02:31 AM | *bumpity doo* |
| kulideb12-11-03, 04:02 AM | "Why dont you come and look round the school." said Kulideb with a big smile. |
| frost_dagger12-12-03, 06:02 PM | A young man, probably about sixteen winters of age, quietly enters the establishment. The lad is garbed in a strange combination of western and oriental clothing. Wearing a brown leather cap typical for boys his age, a pale blue shirt under a black kimono-like jacket, a swordbelt where an empty scabbard hangs by, and dark trousers tucked into a pair of light boots. He greets everyone with a shy nod. He speaks in a soft, shy voice. " Uh.. H-hello. I'll just be lookin' around, if you people dont mind... " |
| melynxt12-23-03, 09:02 PM | *mely smiles at Kulideb and nods* "I think I might..hav'ta take care uh things here fer tha day then I'm free, iffin' ya wouldn't mind bein' my guide?" *She looks toward the young man entering and smiles, brown hair draping down into her face like a silken curtain* "Feel free ta look around, sure! Welcome ta' Kuhtatz Studio, iffin' ya 'ave uh question, jus' lemme know, sir." |
| frost_dagger12-23-03, 11:50 PM | The young man slowly nods. " K-kultatz Studio? Hmm.. " He takes another glance of the establishment. " Uhm.. What wares or services do you offer here? " |
| Gene_Kynes12-24-03, 11:29 AM | Gene's eyes suddenly glance to the entering young man...who seems to've triggered a mneumonic blink within Gene. I know him. But...from where? As the blink captures every feature of the young man that Gene could gather, the Shadowdancer attaches a small label to it in his mind...before looking to Melynxt. "Forgive me. If I do that again, a sharp slap across the face often brings my mind to the same level as my body. Yes...another...day." Without waiting for an actual date, Gene leaves rather...quickly. |
| frost_dagger12-24-03, 08:02 PM | The young man politely tips his feathered cap to Gene, even giving the Shadowdancer a warm smile. Still, despite the lad's friendly approach, his eyes follow Gene rather sharply. " G'day sir. " The unusual expression lasted for just a moment. As the lad turns back to the woman, he resumes that shy look on his face. " Uhm.. I'm just curious what I might find here, ma'am. " |
| melynxt01-11-04, 04:59 AM | *she smiles, though seemingly a bit confused, she nods in his departure, looking to the boy* "Ah yeah, ya can find lots uh things 'ere sir. Tattoo's, body art, body peircin', hand made jewelry, live portrait sittin's, an weopons engravery an tha' like. Feel free ta look round, an ask any uh question ya have, heh. I'll be 'ere fer a bit longer, have ta finish up tha' day's paperwork." *with that she smiles, and brushes a bit of brown hair from her eyes, tucking it behind an ear, and moving toward the desk, taking a seat with a sigh of comfort* |
| frost_dagger01-11-04, 03:33 PM | The young man flashes a faint smile. " How very interesting. " He nods, tucking both hands into his pockets. Slowly he walks around the establishment and examines the various artworks open for display. One painting seems to catch the lad's attention. It is a portrait of a man and his owl. " Oh my. Remarkable detail, and the paints' stilll fresh. I take you made this no more than an hour ago? " |
| melynxt01-13-04, 04:25 PM | *glances up from her desk and smiles, looking to him* Yep, jus' finished it actually. Waitin' fer it ta dry so it can be delivered n what not. Why ya ask? |
| frost_dagger01-13-04, 10:21 PM | The young man shrugs, his gaze still on the portrait. " I dont know, ma'am. The portrait has something.. I can't tell what it is. " Suddenly his lips form a smirk, then turns to face Melynxt, his left hand already drawn a serrated dagger from his swordbelt. Slowly he walks over to the woman's desk, flashing the weapon threateningly. Finally when he is close enough to her, the young man carefully places the dagger on top of the desk, then leans over to Melynxt, whispering " Ma'am, I wish to engrave this dagger with my personal insignia, but I've no money to pay for your service. Im desperately seeking temporary employment as well, and delivering items and such seems a fitting job for me. I can deliver that painting for you, and a hundred more if you wish, if you'll be the kind enough give me a decent job in your establishment. Please. " |
| melynxt01-14-04, 04:46 AM | *blinks as the boy flashes the weopon, but doesn't flinch as he places it down and speaks his plea* "Deliverin' fer me? I dunno...I'd need ta have some references fer ya bein' reliable an trustworthy. Tha' paintin' is one of uh kind...an i was gonna d'liver it t'morrow myself...Hmm..iffin ya can provide me with some sort uh proof ya're reliable an trustworthy, i'll let ya werk fer me, an I'll engrave ya dagger there, out uh ya pay, iffin ya want. Up ta ya, though" |
| frost_dagger01-14-04, 06:35 PM | The young man tilts his head. " References, ma'am? But.. but Im new in this city... " He stops and thinks for a moment. " I can make a request to the Mayor of ***** to ask for a recommendation letter, but it'll surely take a couple of tendays before it gets approved. I can't afford to wait that long, ma'am. I've only a few coppers left, hardly enough for a decent meal and a night's rest in the cheapest inns. Please, ma'am. Consider my situation. I promise to be trustworthy and hardworking. " He glances at the dagger. " This dagger's pretty important to me, but Im willing to exchange it for the job. I am that desperate. Now I'll make a promise to you and to myself that someday when I've earned enough money then I'll buy it back. How's that ma'am? " |
| melynxt01-15-04, 10:21 AM | *mely smiles, and ponders a moment* Hmm...alright then. I'll hold this dagger...an I'll give ya a job eh? But dun think this be uh place where ya can slack off. There's lots uh things ta be done. *she picks up the dagger and looks at it* *she thinks: "fer uh minute there thought he was gonna rob me...heh, yeah im an idiot..heh"* *she looks to the boy again* Alright then, how's five gold uh day sound? Since I dun know iffin ya got any experience, we'll start at that. Iffin ya prove ya're valuable ta me, I'll pay more... *she smiles at the boy, and offers her hand in a 'shaking deal' manner.* |
| frost_dagger01-15-04, 03:41 PM | The young man gladly accepts Melynxt's hand, shakes it with much enthusiasm. " Deal. You won't be dissapointed, ma'am. I can at least assure you that. " Then he makes a respectful bow to his new employer. " My name is 'Thomas'. It is an honor to work in your humble establisment, Miss .. ? " |
| melynxt01-16-04, 12:50 AM | *Mely smiles as they shake hands, withdrawling the hand in turn, to brush stray whisps of brown hair from her face, tucking it behind an ear.* "Oh, my name...name's Melynxt, but ya can call me Mely iffin ya like. So, since I dun have any deliveries jus' yet, how good are ya at moppin'?" *She smirks, and slips into a near by closet, and removes a wooden bucket and mop.* "Tha bucket's already coated in lye, so all's ya need ta do is add water. There's uh place near here with uh well, er ya can jus go inta tha market again...All tha floors need mopped, cept tha weopons room. I'm tha only one allowed in there. I'm gonna work on some uh tha books, let me know iffin ya have any questions, k?" *with that, she moves to the main desk and sits once again, taking the dagger he gave her, and slipping it into a side drawer. She closes the drawer, and removes a ringlet of many keys from her breeches, and locks the drawer tight, before slipping the keys back into her pocket, and taking up a quill* |
| frost_dagger01-16-04, 04:19 AM | Thomas nods. " I'll be back soon as I can, Miss Mely. " The young man leaves immediately, taking the wooden bucket with him. Minutes later and Thomas returns with the bucket half-filled with the cleaning solution. He carefully places down the bucket in a far corner of the room and walks over to pick up the mop. He quietly returns to the corner and gently soaks the mop on the lye solution, then after the lengthy process, Thomas finally begins mopping the floor diligently. He begins from that spot and slowly works his way to the other side, returning to dip the mop on the bucket every now and then. |
| melynxt01-16-04, 04:35 AM | *She opens another drawer and removes a large stack of parchments and misc peices of information all bundled in twine. Plopping it onto the desk top, she looks toward Thomas as he re'enters with the water and begins him mopping. She smiles, nodding to herself slightly, thinking very satisfied of her choice, before taking to untieing the twine and dragging the quill tip over various places at the bottom, in signature.* |
| frost_dagger01-16-04, 04:07 PM | After several minutes of continuous mopping, the young man stops and quickly removes his black kimono-jacket but leaving his loose shirt on. He folds the silk jacket neatly, then puts it inside a small brown bag tied by his swordbelt. He takes off the belt as well along with its scabbard, and places the item in the corner. Now properly dressed for work and without any more hindrance, Thomas nods, and with that, he resumes mopping the floors. |
| frost_dagger01-17-04, 06:19 PM | After a couple more minutes of non-stop mopping, Thomas pauses to wipe the sweat off his brow and lets out a soft sigh, apparently beginning to show exhaustion. Still, the determined lad returns back to work, even doubling his effort just to impress his employer. He keeps glancing at Melynxt from time to time, almost like studying her. Finally, Thomas breaks his silence. " Miss Mely, do you know of a place where I can stay for the night? Preferably one that charge no more than six coppers a day? Yes I know that money's not even enough to rent me a spot in a horse's stable but you see, that's all I have.. and I still have to worry about my next meal. " |
| melynxt01-18-04, 01:54 AM | *after a while, mely's signing and authorizing and completing paperwork pauses. She raises her head and turns, at the question of the boy. She ponders a moment, while rubbing a bit of ink off of her hand, onto her blouse absently.* "Hmm...well, iffin' ya want, ya can stay in my spare room at my estate? It's jus' me there anymore, an there's plenty of food ta' eat? I wouldn't charge ya, dun worry bout it. I used ta be in ya situation too, so it's ok. Long as ya work hard and stay honest with me, ya can have free room 'n board at my home...deal?" *She smiles softly, brown tresses sweeping into her face and shadowing her emerald eyes. She brushes it away, and flips the entirety from her shoulder, revealing bared neck, and random leopard like spots, which seem more birthmark in resemblence, than tattoo type etc. She leans back in her chair slightly, and stifles a yawn as she waits for the boy's response to her offer. Her eyes wander to the already washed floors, and she smiles a touch more* *she thinks: "Wow...i knew tha're was floors under all uh that...heh...he's good"* |
| melynxt01-18-04, 02:04 AM | http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/melynxt/images/feik.gif *(for ooc visualization: Standing just shy of six foot tall, a gothical creature emerges from the shadows. Thin slits of amber glow with strange allure. Shades of deep blues accentuate her eyelids and pouty lips. Fur of the purest white, engulfs this vixen of the dark. Long haired Black tufts flow like silk from the tips of white felinic ears, which seem to perk randomly, standing up at attention, nestled betwixt shoulder length tresses of the most shocking blues.The ends of her mane are black, as if dipped in ink. A spiked black leather band holds the back of her hair up high apon her head. A black corsette type sleeveless leather top clings to her body, Leather straps dyed deep blues weave in and out of the top, circumfrencing in a criss cross pattern, her front and back. Extra low cut brown leather breeches hang from her hips, the legs are flared and slit up to knee length, laced loosely with cords of dyed leather as well. Random straps of brown leather are tied around her thighs, some woven into celtic knot patterns. Black leather boots with chunked heels, lace up to mid calf, and seem to shine constantly. Apon her toned arms she wears black fishnet cocktail gloves, with the fingers cut off. Leather bands of black with silver studs and spikes adorn her biceps at the ends of the gloves, as well as several studded leather bracelets strapped to her wrists. Flowing behind her, swishing to an odd rhythm, a long haired black tipped tail of white. The tail is quite long, nearly 3/4's her entire height.Her ears are peirced with several loops of silver, as well as her left eyebrow, naval, and lip, each having identical adornments. She wears a black leather studded collar choker and a loose black chain of onyx. Across her face a faint scar, diagnol over the bridge of her nose. Strapped to her thigh is a double edged dagger, the blade curves like flames of a fire, but seems too small to be used as a weopon, or is it?)* *Feikxim saunters in the main door, her tail slowly flipping side to side behind her. The bottoms of her boots, caked in fresh mud. She walks across the main room, to the front desk, and approaches Mely. Her footprints lead a very messy path behind her. She smirks, as her ears twitch.* "How much it cost to get a tattoo done eh? heh" *Her gaze drifts toward the boy mopping, and a slender brow lofts, accompanied by a wry grin* *she thinks: "hmm...kinda cute..heh, this might be just the place to do a bit of prosperitising..heh heh" * |
| frost_dagger01-18-04, 04:41 PM | The young man momentarily stops what he's doing, eyes widened and his lips forming a smile. " You.. you are offering me food and lodging in your estate.. for f-free? A-are you sure, Miss Mely? " He seems quite overwhelmed by her proposal. " Oh what luck! Truly I am gratef-- " Thomas pauses, as their conversation's interrupted by a probable customer who've just entered the studio. The lad politely tips his brown cap to the stranger, smiling faintly. " Welcome to Kuhtatz Studio, ma'am. " |
| melynxt02-08-04, 10:45 AM | ((just a note that as of tomorrow, i will be awol for about a month, personal stuffs. But feel free to keep this going :) )) |
| melynxt03-08-04, 08:13 AM | ((I'm back, so kuhtatz studio is now once again opened :) Thanks)) *with a quirk of her brow, Feikxim turns oddly, and exits quite abruptly. Mely blinks, and then looks to the boy* "Hmm...wonder what was wrong with that one ... Oh..an yes of course im offerin' ya a place ta stay an food...iffin ya work hard for me, why not eh? Hmm, are ya about done with tha moppin'? I should get this paintin' delivered soon...should be dry by now im sure...ya could come with me iffin ya like..." *Mely smiled, and brushed bits of hair from her eyes gently behind an ear.* |
