a grey squirrel

[Trallihn]

Feel like standin out in a crowd? Kittens... yeah, they'll do that. A hedgehog totally... But what if ya had a squirrel?

So, I got this old auctioned heavily scripted pet squirrel. Only one left of a set of two.

a grey squirrel
SHOW: It looks like your typical squirrel, which some less than lovingly refer to as "tree rats". Unlike others of its nut-throwing kindred from the trees, this one seems to rather enjoy being on the ground and around people.

take squi
You gingerly remove the squirrel from its pouch.
put squi in pouch
You carefully place the squirrel in a soft leather pouch.
poke
You poke your finger at the squirrel and quickly jerk it back when it chitters angrily at you.
hug
You can't do that, you would crush the cute little squirrel!
snuggle
You hold your grey squirrel close to your body.
touch
You reach out and gently stroke the squirrel's back.
rub
You reach out and rub the squirrel lightly under its chin.
The squirrel nuzzles the palm of your hand with its nose.
scratch
You reach out and scratch the squirrel behind its ear, and it tilts its head so you get just the right spot.
kiss
You give the squirrel a soft kiss on its nose.
Its whiskers tickle causing you to giggle out loud!
tap
You reach out and gingerly tap the squirrel's bushy tail causing it to twitch back and forth.
tickle
You reach out and scratch the squirrel behind its ear, and it tilts its head so you get just the right spot.

Probably more...

While on ground
roll
You reach down and roll the squirrel over on its back.

Has random scripts to interact with you or with a crowd when on the ground. A stranger can't pick it up, only the one who set it down can pick it up.

It goes into a pouch you can wear. The pouch can be lightened and deepened.

when in pouch looks like this: a soft leather pouch which currently has a small squirrel peering back at you from under the flap


Lets start the bidding at 75 million... Healthy buyouts considered!

[Shattered Dreamer]

Awesome item.

[Asha]

75m? Really?

[StrayRogue]

Epic, epic item.

[senorgordoburro]

Doesn't Ardwen have the brown one? And yea, these are very expensive items.

[Durgrimst]

What pet does Ardwen have then, I know he has something similar to this and I really wanted to get the hedgehog from the CCF but wasn't able.

[Stanley Burrell]

...And of course, the squirrels.

[Elvenlady]

Keep in mind with EG coming up there's bound to be something good there too.


No auction planned for EG this year unfortunately.

[Asha]

Yeah I lolled at
''Keep in mind with EG coming up there's bound to be something good there too.'' that.

[Ceyrin]

EG auction every year would be spoiling us.

Every other year seems like a good goal though.

EG '11, we await you!

[Methais]

Not to be a downer but I'm curious...what am I missing here that gives this thing a 75m price tag? It's just a scripted fancy fluff item right?

[Ardwen]

I sold the grey one to Faiyth, for rather more then 75 milion actually.

Good protection from Nasty Nate.

[Ceyrin]

Hah! I JUST watched that again the other day.

So basically you're saying you want 75m for fluff?

[Ardwen]

Its sold for more several times Methais, alot more. Some people do like fluff after all

[Methais]

I was just asking if there was something more to it that I was missing is all. If someone wants to pay 500m for it, awesome.

Daddy, I want a squirrel!

[Fallen]

If you don't realize that this item is worth many millions, you don't understand the Gemstone economy.

I hope you typed that while wearing your GSIV 4EVA T-shirt!

[Ceyrin]

I have that shirt... and matching tidy-whities too!

Of course, I had to use a sharpie to make them... but whatever.

[Trallihn]

So basically you're saying you want 75m for fluff?

At the very least! But, the go away wasn't from me!

Hell, I don't even bother with rep at all. But whoever sent the fuck you and your squirrel thats worth 5m. Thanks for the laugh!

[Asha]

lol you haven't really lived untill someone's said '' fuck you and your squirrel '' though.

[Trallihn]

Damn straight.

I'm extremely surprised by the fact people have paid that much (and more) for those. I am familiar with the kittens... can you not just alter a kitten into a squirrel?

[Shattered Dreamer]

can you not just alter a kitten into a squirrel?


No, you cannot.


The squirrel is a semi-unique older item, it's going to be expensive.

[WRoss]

That's like comparing anus to vagina....it might feel the same in the dark, but the social repercussions are a lot different.

[Kitsun]

No. Anything that scripted tends to be hardcoded for the noun. The scripts also wouldn't make sense for a squirrel.

[Abilene]

Only one left of a set of two (the other was brown).

What does that mean? Faiyth has the other...

[faiyth]

What does that mean? Faiyth has the other...

No she doesn't. When I asked Ardwen where the other squirrel was (the brown one) he said it was gone with some other character who quit. So unless that one comes back, this grey one is the only one left.

[Abilene]

Oh I thought that's what Ardwen said?

So this really is the only one left?

[Asha]

Didn't think you could put a kitten down.

There were originally 2 squirrels released at auction. One was red and one was grey. The original grey one is no longer in the lands. After I sold the red one, a subsequent owner lost it (which I had been told was impossible by Issigri, the designer, at the time of release) and it was replaced with a grey one. To my knowledge there was never a brown one.

Actually there was originally just one. When the second one was released, some years later, the owner of the original one was quite upset.

Nope. Both were released at one auction (airship I think). Avantos won the original grey one and traded it to Kyera that weekend. The red one was won by someone who's name escapes me now who I think left to play mostly Plat (he called the red one "Lunch"). Connour (me) acquired the red (now grey and for sale in this thread) one very shortly thereafter.

[Ardwen]

Shallowgrave the Ratcatcher had the original, well Jay had it anyway

That's who I meant. He won the red, and Avantos won the grey. Same weekend.

Well there you have it. You would know.

[Trallihn]

This is why there's only one left...

I'd pay 75m for that.

[Cephalopod]

Only if it comes with Nazis I can destroy, too.
