Craft time! I love craft time! Calon took genuine interest in the origami paper (squee! I should post pictures of the dragons and gryphons I make) -- his paper crane didn't come out quite so crisp, but with nubby little arms... The next one will be better. :)

X3 Cute! No evolution today... you've got a couple of weeks to go before he'll pop.

Calon's got one point in several areas then? I kindof figured. *shrugs and hugs the purple egg-shaped critter*
If you catch me on AIM (thecrazytiger) please send me a quick note and remind me your name on there. It has been so long since I used that chat medium, I'm staring blankly at my list and not knowing who's actually there. >.<

0_o... I guess I missed it in all the other posts.

*EDIT* Bah, nope, I guess not. Was just busy all day yesterday, brother's graduation day. Sorry about that!

Sorry about the inconvenience of the timing, Sil... but you'll have another chance next Friday. :3 And every friday after that if you can't make it. XD I'm keeping you at the top of the list!

(And once everybody who hasn't got -has-, I'll make a list of everyone who only has one but wants -two-. :D I like this system.)

XD Best movies ever (at least my 4-year-old self says so!)
eta: So long as somebody hasn't adopted in the last week (so last Monday till now) then Monday eggs are fair game to everyone.

Ecto it is!

LJ Update

D: I posted it and all the eggs got snatched like three minutes after it was up, but the LJ community has been updated if you want to answer a question! (Congrats to Kayla, who's baby evolved into a Flarefy!)

Hee hee... I have a pretty Taeresi! *bounces all over the place*

(Thinking that 4-5 packs of smarties were a bad idea... pure sugar + lack of sleep = silly Feline!)

:D Congrats on catching one! I'm going to take your name off of the waiting list for now... but once everybody without a baby has gotten one, I'll make a new list for those who only have one, so you can sign up again at that point!

So I just found out that I'm going to be able to get out to the coast for a week and a half today, which means that Friday, next Monday and possibly the Friday after that I won't be able to make any updates!

Since I don't want to miss out on even one event, I'm going to be posting here AND on the LJ community earlyish tomorrow (since I leave early Thursday!) And I'll do as many replies to each as I can before I have to leave!

Just a heads up! XD

I know, this is my first actual vacation since I started working here two and a half years ago.... I'm very very excited.

:3 Which translates into probable bonuses for you guys when I get back. X3 Hee hee hee!

Hee hee... different questions both here and in the LJ? VERY cool. :D

Have fun on your vacation!! I worked where I am now for over a year and a half before I took my first vacation... before that, between this and the last job, it'd been 3 years since a vacation had happened. Relax, and have a blast!

Man, I tell you, Maki is getting expensive! His favorite snack is definitely red meat. My roommate and I were having steak this weekend and he wouldn't even let us cook his! Turned out to be Raw Meat Sunday for Maki! XD

Kiai on the other hand wasn't happy with anything I had in the house. He turned up his nose at the red meat that Maki likes so much, and didn't want any of the sugar snap peas I offered him. In the end I had to take him to the store and he picked out a bag of sour candies. Blech! Those things are so sour I can barely stand them! But he seems to be enjoying them, so more power to him I guess! XD

Taeresi is a bit like his mom here, and turned his nose up at the red meat, to my amusement. He had a hard time deciding between the other three, especially since I didn't know whether to offer the peas in the pod cooked or raw. He sniffed around at them for a bit, taking his time, trying a tiny nibble of each, until I pretended to look away. As I did, I heard a chomping noise, and turned back to find him happily munching on the raw peas in the pod.

I'm rather pleased... my little one seems to like healthy stuff. Hmm... I'm wondering if he's a vegitarian, or just doesn't like red meat, like me!

I asked Tanis for his preference, and he decided he had to try all four before making a choice. He vastly preferred the red meat, lightly cooked. Now it's all he wants!

And nothing new for Kiai... but mmm, sour candy. XD


Feline, it's your lucky day!
Image evolves into Image
Taresi the BABY evolves into an ASTILBODY!
(With a tossup between Flora and Water! XD)

If your baby evolved and you already answered as a baby over on LJ, feel free to edit your comment to answer the TIER 1 questions (assuming that I didn't reply to you on LJ already!!). XD

Kiryu has one heck of a conscience on him, he'd really rather be able to play mischievous pranks on others, but before he even got the chance to begin he'd feel guilty. So instead, he'd go around doing anonymous good deeds and enjoying his good karma. (though he might work in a few pranks on his arch nemeses, the cats)
~Kayla, what is that I don't even

Xalia: Yep! Pretty sweet, huh?

Kayla, (ack, disregard my last comment if you saw it. XD Was checking the wrong tier!) -- Answer noted. ^_^ No evolution today, but that's gonna count towards the future! >:3

Grey it is, Unyko... lemme know what name you want for this dude!
