Updated with Nel's commission.

Words cannot describe the scree-like gasp of joy that just escaped my mouth.

Updated first post with tiny bit more info.

I FEEL CONFLICTED IT'S SO GOOD BUT I AM SO SAD GERIK LOOKS SO SAD

I'm shy, but here you go. I took it this morning! I don't have my hair done like I normally do, though. ;;

FIXED. it was on the list before the rollback. ;; I am gomen.

Just posting to update my stream link to: http://www.livestream.com/doodletea Because twitch is being kind of a butthead.

Just wanted to post and let you all know that I've updated the main post. Please read it!

Hi there! Welcome to the RPC! I'm still kind of in the same boat as you, and I've been playing for over a year (at least, by the end of 1.0). Everyone here is beyond helpful, though. [Also, off topic, happy to see another Madoka fan!]

Yes, I am still doing them. The list is growing a bit, so it will take just a little while to get everyone's done.

You guys are all so nice. ; ; I really appreciate the compliments and orders!

I wanted to make this separate to keep it a little more orderly from my other thread. I'm doing emergency-type commissions. I'm doing what normally costs about $30-40 for $20. It would be a piece of work like this: If you are interested, please send me a PM, post here, or add me to Skype! ("eirirhea") Thank you. Until I catch up on everyone's order, I don't think I should take anymore. ^^; Will open them back up as soon as I do! I wanted to use this post to keep everyone updated. Below is a list of people who ordered something from me (in no specific order). If their name links to any images, then it's done! It will take me a while to get through all of these. I really appreciate everyone's patience. If your name isn't listed and you ordered from me, please PM me! Include your real name, as that is what Paypal lists, so I can confirm your order. There were many people who didn't use PMs to order, or didn't put their info in the notes of the paypal transaction. ^^; I want to make sure I got everyone. Completed Eva Nel Manari Alothia Blade Order List Miya Kerr Kylin* Luka Koumoru Mtoto Ellie* Aysun/Selene* Seo* (Don't mind the asterisks. For own reference.)

I would not mind helping out with giving out the pearls, though I don't really think I could do well with being an officer just yet. But I wanted to put the offer to help out there.

Ophelia de Winter Sorry. I know it's not any of the requests or commissions. I got her finished up last night lest she be lost to the WIP abyss.

TOUGH CHOICE. It would tend to gravitate just depending on the mood. But Neopolitan is always a favored backup. So is Rocky Road...and sometimes just straight vanilla. Edit: I FORGOT PICTURES.

After much reading through them over and over, all night long, I've narrowed it down to our three winners. While I love all of the brews that came through, these three struck me as quite creative and inventive, not to mention absolutely delicious sounding. I would like to announce as well, however, that most posted brews will be served in Ophelia's teashop! =] The winners will be more 'signature dish' types and be some of her most popular brews. If you didn't get a chance to post in the contest, or come up with any ideas later on, don't hesitate to drop me a PM! We can even work something out in RP, too. And now the top three winners; 1st Place; Allgivenover - Bella's Kiss 2nd Place; Deirdre - Valentione's Love Tea 3rd Place; Endricane - Great King Moogle's Crown

Chastity with Aysun :]

Just a reminder that today is the last day to submit! Contest ends tonight at mightnight, US Central time.

Despite K'aworu has no experience at all, I tried to answer based on how I feel he'd end up, which would be homosexual. That said, he's not actually..actively hunting or anything. I don't know that he's actually interested in relationships or anything. [After writing that, I've a feeling I should've technically picked asexual, but whatever.]

Thank you. I really appreciate the ideas. I do kind of like the idea of a charming or mesmerizing thing (almost like a siren? hahah. it seems fun.), but as said, I don't know how touchy of a thing that would be for other RPers. Thank you again. I really do appreciate it.

So, one of the primary focuses on Ophelia that I've been trying to work with before actually putting her up on the wiki or RPing her too heavily, is that she is a songstress. But not 'just an entertainer' type. I've been working with the concept that her singing and dancing is actually useful in the battle (preferably offensive, as I haven't heard anything about any..y'know. "Stat buffing" in RP, which is usually the role a songstress or bard seems to have in any game I've personally played). Dancing as a sort of almost..fighting style (martial arts, so, pugilist, I guess?) seems easy enough. But I actually seem to be getting hung up on the singing bit. I've considered a heal-ing type thing, but as I already have a character who's literal entire purpose is that field, I didn't want to go with it. I wanted to kind of keep things different, yeah? I had considered some sort of reverse-empath thing too. But then I realized, singing in itself causes people to feel emotions anyway so it just seemed a bit redundant. So, I was hoping someone could help me along with this? What are some ways I could incorporate singing as an actual, offensive, battle-ready weapon of sorts? I really do appreciate the help. I'm sorry for cluttering up things with another thread of questions.

Thank you all for entering! I'm going to make the deadline this thursday, the 18th. I'm not sure how many more people want to enter (or have additional entries), but I figure a week should be good, yes? Good luck for everyone!

These are all great so far! Thank you so much for entering, everyone! Keep them coming!

I just wanted to have a bit of fun with everyone here and hold a little mini-contest to encourage everyone to get together and share some of their creativity. The Contest: Using only 1.0 gathered items (as there is an NDA in place, I remind you all), I want you to come up with a tea blend. You aren't limited to even just use the plants or herbs. If you think of something maybe using some food items, maybe even wood or animals for flavor. Who knows! Go nuts! But it all has to be edible. Give it a name and list your ingredients! Here are a few databases for help! http://ffxiv.mozk-tabetai.com/ http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/ My favorites will be used on my RP character, Ophelia's, tea shop/inn in Ul'dah come time for RPing again. To enter, simply post your tea blend's name and the ingredients in the thread! As for prizes, I hope everyone likes free art! 'Cause it's kind of all I have to offer at the moment. ; ; First Place: The person with what I feel is the most creative and delicious sounding tea will get an image like this: Click! A full body, colored and shaded image of your character (or whomever you want). On top of this, it will be done before any other art project in my freebie request thread (excluding paid commissions). Second Place: The runner up will receive a waist-up image of their character (or whomever), also colored and shaded. Third Place: A portrait (Shoulders-and-upward), colored and shaded, of their/whomever's character. You can enter as many times as you like, with as many recipes as you like.

Thank you for the wiki links, and thank you especially Mtoto! I think I should clarify too, just to put any minds at ease, I'm speaking from a 1.0 standpoint right now. I'm not referencing Beta at all. However I do intend to gather what plants and such that I can when the game is live (or at least the NDA is lifted), but for now I was just hoping people could tell me what plants and foods they've found or crafted in their 1.0 days.
