[OOC] Fall of Faerieland

[Birdboy]

Feel free to reflavor the dragon stuff. I seem to remember there being a big ice monster that's like a big serpent. That could provide inspiration.

[Dark Cloud]

@Birdboy I'm going with the Copper ancestry, so acid damage.

[Dark Cloud]

@Birdboy I'm going to table my character for now, I'm getting too involved with too many things on the Guild. Gotta try not to get burnt out.

[Birdboy]

Yeah I didn't want to say anything but I notice you're in a lot of roleplays. I am only looking for like 4 or 5 players tops so be warned that I will close things off to character submissions at some point.

[Digizel]

With all of that aside for now, I'm wondering, who is going to be posting next? I'm presuming it's the Birdy to react with the Draik, but I can go next if need-be?

[Birdboy]

Yeah I have to respond. Been burnt out from work and putting it off but should be able to get one out soon!

[Digizel]

Gotcha, don't feel pressured or anything! I just wanted to make sure I had that right. Was debating with myself whether or not I should respond to the others yet or not xD

[Birdboy]

You're welcome to! I won't stop ya!

[Digizel]

Heh. Nah, I'm alright, I think. There's nothing significant I'd want to reply with atm, so I'll wait. xD

[XxFellsingxX]

Happy holidays, everyone! Hope ya'll are having a good day.

[Birdboy]

Happy holidays!

[Digizel]

Happy Holi to all and to all a good day~

[Birdboy]

So I was looking through neopet food and noticed a lot of it is just other neopets

[Digizel]

Yeah...Neopet food is weird, to say the least. xD

I mean, I guess that should be obvious when you have various food categories, and one of them is literally called "Gross Food" xD

Worth noting is that there really is just a bunch of food shapes like Neopets or have their name in it at least. But there's also a lot of standard foods in there, too, like "Potato-stuffed Turkey"

[Birdboy]

Yeah. Lots of weird stuff but like roasted quiggle legs? Grundo toes? Mince mynci??? Is it cannibalism?

[Digizel]

Yeah, generally food like that is Spooky Food. That, along with Gross food is generally just kinda considered "food that you probably shouldn't actually eat" for the most part. So yeah, in general, I presume that most Neopians don't actually eat that kind of thing, even though they technically can. But things like that are generally sold in the scary regions like Haunted Woods; potentially one of those things that can happen to Neopians if they fall to the wrong kind of crowd~

[Birdboy]

I guess I'll have to keep that in mind then! Definitely adds a darker tone when you consider that there are clearly carnivorous Neopets: Like Gnarrls and Lupe.

[Digizel]

Oh yes, that is also technically true. However, it's my belief that those kinds of things stem from the fact that on the Neopets website, they are just that: pets; they pets with human owners (i.e. the users) in the actual Neopets canon, so they're kinda treated similarly to animals (albeit animals that can speak and such). But in a setting like this, where there are no such things as human owners, I tend to humanize them a bit more so that even the carnivorous pets tend not to eat others unless they've got more of an Evil alignment. xD

[Birdboy]

Fair enough!

[XxFellsingxX]

That being said, the category of food our characters are most likely to be eating right now - medieval food - doesn't look that appealing either. For example, just searching through, I found something simply titled 'Bowl of Yuck'.
