 Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:16 pm Post subject: BonBon has a new Shopkeeper |
 |
|
| An odd shop sits on a street corner in BonBon. At first glance it seems normal enough but there is something strange about it, an oddness that draws the eye. It’s a simple enough shop, small but sturdy. A sign hangs above the door, the mallet and chisel carved upon it advertising the owner’s trade as a carpenter and wood carver. It is only when you get close that the oddness reveals itself, the building is one giant carving, what was once taken as a strange color pattern, is thousands of intricate carvings. Every inch of every surface is carved, some are small, a single person or small designs, while others are giant murals depicting scenes from great moments in history from all over the world. All blended seamlessly into one giant whole. The owner himself sits on a chair out front. He’s an Otter, dark brown in coloration, with startlingly intense blue eyes. He is Duncan Muir a Biast Dhubh, a Scottish sea otter of the old ways. His heritage is plain in his massive height and traditional clothing. He stands over two meters in height, though he is not standing now, wearing the traditional kilt you’d expect from one of his heritage. He sits in front of his store, patiently waiting for an interested customer to come his way. Waiting and watching, a small, slightly amused smile on his face, as if the antics of these people, so different from his home, amuse him to no end. Like his shop he appears normal enough but still oddness catches the eye. In his case it is a subtle movement, his hands constantly moving, a tool in one hand a small block of wood in the other. It is in here his true talent lies. These hands, constantly moving, capture life as it appears before him. A smooth run of the blade and an arm appears, reaching forth as if offering something. Another cut and a tail begins to appear, followed swiftly by a torso. It is Margarete, the squirrel nut vendor, caught in the act of handing a customer his purchase. A moment, frozen in time, ready to leap to life once more, captured by the keen eye and skilled hands of this wood carver. And so this is how he spends his days, building when he is paid to do so, and carving whenever he can. Enjoying every moment he can in this strange place called BonBon. |

| And so I introduce myself. I will post a character profile for Duncan in the Fursona section if any of you are interested. I am looking forward to my time here in the BonBon forum. |

| Well that was quite rude of me. I introduce myself and then disappear for two days. And after receiving such a warm welcome. Tsk tsk tsk, shame on me. On a more serious note, thanks for the welcome. I hope to become a productive part of this online community. |

That would be great. We need more people on. Some return every now and then to check up, and there are the regulars, but we do need more.

We have a philosophy here that life comes first before the site. So don't worry if you have to be away for a long time.

| Well on that note I guess I should warn you all that I have a very erratic work schedule. I may end up vanishing for days at a time with little to no warning. Hazards of the job I guess. |

If it means that you can post here and there, we will understand why you are gone.

| We're more common than you'd think, the coastlands are covered with our clans and villages. The problem is none of us ever leave. So its very unusual to run into someone like me this far from our homeland. |
