Frosty: i'm not sure how zikwas work
starchmonster: how do you mean, frosty?
Frosty: like i tried to find info on them
Frosty: where they reside and things
Tiarana: in caves. but not in the swamp because there are no caves in the swamp
Frosty: i am starting to assume they like the hide in shadows
starchmonster: haha, not far off
starchmonster: tia's right, they came up from underground
Frosty: yeah that's what i got from reading all the descriptions
Frosty: but i am going to put that down
Tiarana: let's see, I can dig up the info that was posted when they were first released
Frosty: so i know how to add a personality to zikwas
starchmonster: they're very family-oriented
Frosty: i was not in the BC area till quite late
starchmonster: well, not even necessarily family? community.
Tiarana: also arrogant as shit
Tiarana: despite not living in the swamp they consider themselves THE CHOSEN ONES
starchmonster: they all live in a very tight-knit group
starchmonster: wait what
starchmonster: I don't remember that
Tiarana:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewto ... t=23393831
Tiarana: maybe I am exaggerating a bit
Tiarana: The Zikwa believe intensely and devotedly in the idea of karmic reincarnation, and believe that they themselves are the last stop on the way to universal oneness.
Tiarana: sure sounds arrogant to me
starchmonster: hmm, I somehow missed that pargraph!
Tiarana: I seem to recall rejam mentioning it too but idk
Tiarana: I forgot all that about the family stuff
starchmonster: they're typically devoted to others and selfless tho
starchmonster: yeah the family stuff is what stuck with me the most
Tiarana: hmmm
Tiarana: spiritually arrogant then? idk
Tiarana: like the kind of people who go around helping people because it is the way of god
Tiarana: (and then lord it over everyone else)
starchmonster: there's bound to be a lot of variation in how their info is interpreted, haha
Frosty: i am totally copying our sentences there tia
Frosty: i sont want to ask blue so many questions
Frosty: dont*
starchmonster: I imagine them to be much mellower and sweeter on average, and not making too big a deal out of the reincarnation part
Tiarana: yeah rereading this they come across that way more
Tiarana: maybe I sorta blended them with the totoma in my mind a bit
starchmonster: maybe!
Tiarana: actually frosty the people to ask questions would be rejam or phoe
starchmonster: yeah, they're the ones in charge of RP and worldbuilding - at least, the worldbuilding that we don't contribute.
starchmonster: (we being the customer base)
Frosty: oh
Tiarana: blue would probably not have the answers even if you asked her XD
Frosty: guess i will ask phoe questions then
Tiarana: pssst corn you got a customer
Tiarana: (potentially)
starchmonster: oh??
Tiarana: in your linearts thread
Frosty: ohhhh
starchmonster: oh boy oh boy
Tiarana: which I totally am not secretly subscribed to
Frosty: let me creep by there >.>
Tiarana: I find the land before time business intriguing mainly because there was once a land before time shop
Tiarana: of which I owned several pets
Tiarana: but ultimately failed
Tiarana: it was less cartoony though
Tiarana: or maybe just...different? idk
Tiarana: also those goat lines. those...have been around a fucking block XD;
starchmonster: lmao god.
starchmonster: I'm fucking terrible at pricing myself in gold!!!!
Tiarana: haha
starchmonster: I'll come up with somethign when I'm done coloring these things
Tiarana: yeah I mean that's an awful lot of lines she's asking about
Frosty: wow
Frosty: yeah i just found corn's thread poststalking
Tiarana: XD I could have just linked you!
starchmonster: if I'm talkin hours it's uhhh
starchmonster: like an hour or two per line piece I do, generally. at least, it is on a good day.
Frosty: random question. are those bats familiars too in that zikwa link?
starchmonster: yep! they're the zikwa-spevific familiar.
they go: HULLLOOOOO. /this is wombat/brax/they go and i totes just quoted you about commish haha
starchmonster: lol HEY I just saw that
they go: And cant believe I caight you online! /awesome
starchmonster: you might not have id some folks hadn't bullied me into working tonight lmao
Frosty: mygod zikwa pets.. i need to go quest for one now
Frosty: they look amazing
starchmonster: yeah there are not nearly enough giant bats in matope right now
Frosty: keep it rare
Frosty: they look great though tbh
starchmonster: they're not supposed to be rarer than the zikwa haha
Frosty: oh XD
Frosty: im surprised they let us choose zikwa as a kin
Frosty: so i jumped onto the train >.>
Tiarana: ah man I bet bats are open now too
starchmonster: they might not eb OPEN-open y'know, this could be like... a christmas thing
Tiarana: idk why would they leave that stuff closed
Tiarana: ...my salsa...it is half frozen
starchmonster: they usually opened breeds of kin when the next one was introduced in a meta event, so I figured they wanted a meta to make the zikwa open
Tiarana: hmmm, that's true
Tiarana: but I don't think the opening was the meta so much as the introduction of the next breed
starchmonster: yeah
they go: /gets a crossaint for brunch nomnomnom
starchmonster: I automaticall approve of all eating-related activities
starchmonster: not that anyone needs my approval just, hell yeah eatin stuff
they go: LOL.
they go: usofunny
starchmonster: thanks, I'll be here all week
starchmonster: except tomorrow morning, when I have to shovel for a few hours
starchmonster: anyways, I'm up for inking your things, but I'm absolutely terrible at pricing in gold
starchmonster: I know how much I'd like to charge per hour in USD, but converting that to a gold amount that is reasonable for both me and the customer is kinda shaky
Tiarana: yeah that crazy economy probably don't help either
starchmonster: nope
Frosty: hmmm
