[X] My Assistant

[GirlCalledBob]

Currently on haitus, and not accepting new requests. We apologise for the inconvience

The building is huge, much larger than those surrounding it; it stretches up into the sky, possibly higher than could ever be seen. There's a sign, bold and impressive, over the ornate double doors: The Shop of Impossible Things.

Inside, the lobby seems larger than anything that could have fit on the ground floor of the building; for some reason, you find this unsurprising. A friendly, cheerful young lady at a desk helpfully points you towards a list of floors, and then goes back to reading her book, 'The Idiot's Guide to Minioning; Your Evil Master and You'. This does strike you as rather odd, although, you suppose, the name tag reading HenchWench Number 13 possibly should have tipped you off.

You can see from the floor directory that there are no department names - instead, each floor has the name of a person, and then a 'speciality'. This looks like an interesting place.
The lift is shiny and new, and thankfully does not have any terrible, mind numbing music playing. The buttons are marked with floor numbers; there another directory in here, posted to the wall, to help your memory.

So, which floor are we going to today?



Welcome

To the Shop of Impossible things. Apologies for the rather pretentious opening. Just setting the scene.
Now, an explanation: what we have here at the shop are the elite; the supreme; the very shiny. People have to pass a standard to work here. As such, we expect perfect behaviour from both staff and customers, and are unusually strict over rules. Rules? Ah, yes, those dreaded things; well, we all need to be goverened by something, don't we? The shop has a basic, catch all set of rules that should be obeyed by everyone, but some workers may also have their own rules for if you are requesting from them; these will be in their worker's area, so be sure not to miss them.

Rule#1:
Manners. Be polite, understanding of any delays, don't rush workers, don't insult workers of other customers, and generally treat everyone with respect. The extension to this is language - let's keep swearing to a minimum. And while we're being polite to others, let's be polite to the world; I don't want any racism, sexism, or any other isms for that matter.

Rule#2:
Always use request forms provided by the worker. If you don't, you will not be informed; you will simply be ignored. Any request not using the proper forms will ever be taken.

Rule#4:
Give credit. Always. I cannot stress this enough; people take their time and effort over these requests, which they do not have to do, and if all they ask in return is a single line of credit, then you had better give it to them.

Rule#5:
This may seem a little harsh; deal with it. Anyone using chat speak in this shop will be ignored, or turned down for a request. I define chat speak as lazy, cutting of corners when typing - it's no harder to type the word 'you' than it is to type the letter 'u'. We're not expecting golden standards of spelling and grammar, but 'I' standing alone is a capital letter, 'k' is not a subsitute for 'okay', and 'plz' is just a random scattering of letters for all I care. I know, I'm a massive elitist snob, but it's not like we're using phone keyboards, here. Typing is even quicker and easier than writing manually, and Goddess knows people have been doing that long hand since they invented civilisation.
I am English, and I say, stop butchering my language.

Rule#6:
If in doubt, don't.
I'm serious. Just don't do it. And watch out for 3. He's a tricksy one. (Running jokes require running with)

There, now, those rules shouldn't be too hard to follow, should they?

All that is left for me to do now is open the doors requests; worker areas will be in the next few posts, so go ahead and look around, find what you want, and request away.

Announcements:

We also have a shiny new userbar, thanks to Pandora. Yay, us!

Not currently taking requests

You take the lift up to the first floor; when the doors open, you find yourself in a messy room, somewhere between a science lab and an engineering workshop. The walls are dotted with pictures of a strange, squirrel like animal, or a girl with animal features. In the middle of the room, in a cleared out area, the same girl from the pictures is working at a desk. Presumably, this is Bob.

Bob's Rules:
Only to follow the shop rules, especially rules five and six. Fill in all forms correctly, and don't edit them or leave anything out. I guess I should add that I only accept trainer requests that use the reference codes provided in the resources section, below, since that makes it much quicker and easier for me.

Bob's Examples:

You press the number three button, surprised that it suddenly started working and takes you up towards the middle floor. The doors open too slowly for your liking but when you finally get a glance into the room your eyes are first drawn to a cloud shaped sign stating, 'Welcome to Pandora's Playpen'. Your eyes travel over the room, the walls painted to show a windy field with Drifloons, regular and shiny floating along with the imaginary wind. The biggest surprise is that the room is split into two, divided by an actual playpen. The pen is filled with comfy beanbag chairs and all types of eeveelution stuffies. As you look over the playpen you notice a girl curled up on a pink beanbag sofa with her laptop in front of her. That must obviously be Pandora dressed in a cute Drifloon hat and matching dress and shoes. Finally she looks up from the computer screen and waves lighly. "Hi, why don't you have a seat in the waiting area?" she said politely, pointing over the the waiting area. You quickly take a seat in one of the empty chairs and Pandora goes back to work. You shift in your seat wishing for one of the plush beanbags instead of the hard plastic chair.

Pan's Rules:

These are pretty simple, but important!
First: You should always follow all the shop rules.
Second: I reserve the right to refuse an order - not that that will happen often, just in case of I don't have the time or what not, anyways I will always tell you why. In cases of I don't have the time, I will happily hold you order until I get back~
Third: With images, if you want an image that isn't a normal/shiny sprite or just can't be found it the 'GTS Image Gallery' or 'Bulbapedia' you must provide it. If the image isn't yours it is up to you to give credit to not only me but the maker of the image used.
Fourth: I only take seven request at a time but this is more like a batch thing. Seven will be done for sure before the rest are even considered, kinda.
Last:but not least, my favourite pokemon is drifloon and these rules are subject to change.

Pan's Examples:
Userbars!

I'll try my best, but that's a pretty small reference to go by, for a mugshot. Still.

*saltues* On my list.
The running jokes thing is in the rules, look; *points to rule 6.* We run with running jokes.

The hiker is there because I was silly when I made the sheet, and am too lazy to get rid of him. *shrug*

I'll get to both of these requests tomorrow, it's late now.

[Absoleevee]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say her left eye is green, her right is purple.
And if you want a bigger ref, I drew one a while ago. It's not very good, but:~
Don't do the things on her arms please.

It's easier for me if you edit info like that into your original post, to ensure I don't forget it. And, the larger ref picture will be good for getting her hair right, so...

It took me quite a while to get her to the point where I was happy, but I have to say this is one of the few of my sprites that I actually really, really like. Normally I can pick a couple of things I don't like about them, but I'm pretty pleased with this one. Especially her hair, since I scratched that
