PostSubject: Mhurr's Many Marvels   Mhurr's Many Marvels Icon_minitimeTue May 18, 2010 5:33 am

I got bored marking exam papers, and a rather silly idea popped spontaneously into my mind.

Mhurr is an elderly male neko - quite tall, albeit a little stooped, with sun-tanned, wrinkled skin and thick grey hair. He operates Mr. Mhurr's Many Marvels and Souvenirs Shop, a portable stall which can be found right next to the Dimensional Gate near Ur-Sagol - within the protective range of the tower that keeps giant predators away.

Mhurr's Marvels is, as its name suggests, a simple souvenir shop. It sells cheap, "typical" tourist trinkets. Here you will find:
- postcards
- t-shirts with the words "I got eaten by a giant naga and all she spat out was this lousy t-shirt"
- t-shirts with an arrow and the words "I'm with Stupid. Eat him instead!"
- t-shirts with the words "Felaryan-grade boobies"
- crudely designed, colourful, illustrated maps of Ur-Sagol and its surrounding region (authenticity not guaranteed)
- small clay, stone or metal replicas of various Felaryan monuments
- "snow globes" with a gaping maw at the bottom, and flakes shaped like tiny people falling into it
- balloons that mimic Anko's squeal when squeezed
- children's colour books depicting predators hunting down and devouring unfortunate explorers
- scent bottles (chocolate, mint, fruit, honey...) to spray on yourself when caught (if you want to do a predator a favour, and turn yourself into a more memorable meal; these are usually sold as joke gifts)
- action figures of giant predators
- plush dolls of giant predators

The only magical items on sale are small, animated chocolate or gingerbread figures. When let out of their box, they run around aimlessly until caught.

Mhurr himself is a friendly, if somewhat excentric figure. His reply to any comment or question tends to be wildly off-topic. (Ask him "Have you got any other varieties of those scent bottles?" and he may well answer: "Oh yes, it is quite lovely this time of year. Especially when it's raining. Have you been up the Vivian Mountains yet?" Along with a broad smile that makes his eyes crinkle.)

Communication is somewhat easier when his daughter is present. A lovely young redhead neko called Likki, in her twenties, she always lends an interested ear to the tales of passing travellers, and charms them -with her dazzlingly pretty smile- into buying the most useless trinkets.

Mhurr and Likki are not always to be found by the Gate. They keep irregular working hours. When they've finished their trade for the day, they pack up and go back through the Gate to whatever world they come from.

(Feel free to suggest other souvenirs they may sell! Very Happy)

This is a really cool, original idea! To be honest I was worried it'd just be more vore-centric stuff and it kinda is, but it manages to put a fresh, funny spin on it for once. I imagine that the kind of customers most likely to see the humor in the store would be very new and grossly underestimating how dangerous the world is, so if the store was positioned close to a busy portal which loads of tourists and adventurers would enter they'd make a killing. If a shop like that was the first thing you saw when you entered Felarya, I'm sure you'd get the impression that the dangers were exaggerated and the locals clearly have a sense of humor.

Still, I'd worry about a few angry customers surviving long enough to complain about how sick the humor is, lul.

Indeed, this is a good idea. I agree with Jew

Well, thanks. Very Happy

Hehe... There's also the fact that the shop is positioned where people will see it upon leaving Felarya. Imagine having survived the jungle, lost most of your companions, staggering back to the gate... and finding a merchant who asks you whether you want a comical Felaryan souvenir! Razz

Aww, no keychains or refrigerator magnets?

Certainly does sound like an interesting, albeit strange idea with a little cuteness mixed in. ^^;

Thanks! I'm sure there are keychains of Felaryan monuments, or of cute or fearsome predators. Wouldn't you just like a smiling plastic Crisis nestled among your keys? lol!

Tell me if what idea is too lame so that I can delete them quickly XD

-Photo Sticker Booth: customers can choose many types of background, from Felaryan beautiful landscape to Predators' Maw shots
-Toy Vending Machine: selling a collection of mini plastic figures of Felaryan creatures from utterly harmless to extremely dangerous, such as Duiker, Tonorian... (not sure if it's the same with "Action Figure" idea above)

Both of them are portable ^^

Similar, but not identical, I suppose. Smile

'It's me! But... tiny. And why am I attached to this little chain, hmm?' Crisis, on being offered a Crisis key-chain.

I just had another completely random idea- the slimoid (and even slug girl Razz) bean bag chairs! Just be sure what you are getting is actually a bean bag chair and not the real thing... Owners assume no responsibility for persons getting themselves stuck to slug girls or jumping onto slimoids!

Oh this is too much fun hehe. I also think Vivian would greatly, ahem, enjoy a full sized inflatable predator too O_o.

Let's just hope that there are no life-sized inflatable Annas and if there are, that she never, ever finds out, or the shit would hit the fan.
