We of Pets Unlimited would like to introduce you to our newest product: the Orion Mu!

http://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p242.gifhttp://invisionfree.com:54/129/44/upload/p240.gif

The Orion Mu is perfect for ANYONE! Cute, multi-colored, the Orion Mu is a companion of finest quality. Its calm demeanor also gives way to a vicious aggressiveness when it or its owner is provoked, making it the perfect guard animal. Besides, who would expect such power out of this thing?

Previously, such creatures could only be seen within the Empire, but now, for the reasonable price of 10,000 Imperial Credits each, you can have your very own Orion Mu. The only downside is that the Mu's flesh is quite poisonous, meaning no feasting on it. However, who would ever want to eat those cute little things?

We welcome orders, the limit is five per deal.

No nation likes pets...how strange...

A North-eastern Europe Delegate pets one.

I'll take one of each color.

"There are five colors. Red/Orange and Blue are pictured. Black, White, and Green are not. Your order comes to 50,000 Imperial Credits."

OOC: Ugh... Final Fantasy IX...

IC:

Curious... I have never seen such a creature before.

The Ministry of Science will purchase two for purposes of study.

OOC: Believe me...I hate it as well...but 7,8, and 10 didn't have many "cute" things to sell...and 2's (my other favorite) graphics aren't up to par.

IC:

"We'll be happy to supply you with the animals. The cost is 20,000 Imperial Credits."

"We'll be happy to supply you with the animals. The cost is 20,000 Imperial Credits."

OOC: Please tell me you're not expecting me to in-character type *money wired*.

Just assume the check's in the mail. No need to negotiate or anything.

Lux pets them slowly and giggles.

"I want one black and one white, but what is your payment policy?"

"We'll be happy to supply you with the animals. The cost is 20,000 Imperial Credits."

OOC: Please tell me you're not expecting me to in-character type *money wired*.

Just assume the check's in the mail. No need to negotiate or anything.

OOC: Of course not. I was just informing your Science Minister of the rather hefty price. Trust in my ability to roleplay Slag. Besides...this wouldn't even have to be IC...at all...

Lux pets them slowly and giggles.

"I want one black and one white, but what is your payment policy?"

"An 80% downpayment is acceptable, but we would much rather have the money straight up."

Lux looks still pets cute little fuzzy creatures.

"Are checks acceptable? I do not carry money on me."

"Of course they are. But please...for your sake...don't bounce them..."

The man turned around then quickly turned back.

"...the checks that is..."

OOC: Of course not. I was just informing your Science Minister of the rather hefty price. Trust in my ability to roleplay Slag. Besides...this wouldn't even have to be IC...at all...

OOC: Not doubting... sour mood tonight.

If you'd like to just save time roleplaying all of the tests, you could just telegram me the results of the following tests the Ministry of Biology--a subsidiary of the Ministry of Science--will be undertaking:

1. Diet
2. Breeding patterns
3. Intelligence - reaction to attempts to train and teach
4. Natural defenses
5. Behavior patterns toward trainers, scientists, and other creatures

Send at your leisure.

Perhaps...We would like a few at the moment...say a total of five.
How much gold in your terran units?

OOC: I'll get to it soon...and I hope your night gets better :lol:

"Excellent, who do i make the check out to?"

Lux smiles and writes out a check, handing it to the seller.

"Is this good?

She smiled pleasantly.

"Oh, and I would not bounce the cute little animals."

Perhaps...We would like a few at the moment...How much would 800 breading pairs cost??

"16 Million Imperial Credits...are you planning on charging this to your national budget? I don't know what your conversion rate is to the standard, (The RL American Dollar) but that price seems very large. Either way...we're only selling five per order...as it says in the advertisement."

"Excellent, who do i make the check out to?"

"Make the check out to Pets Unlimited Co. please."

Lux smiles and writes out a check, handing it to the seller.

"Is this good?

She smiled pleasantly.

"Oh, and I would not bounce the cute little animals."

The man at the desk smiled back.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you did."

"Will they be shipped or do I take them with me? Do they need shots or anything?"

OOC: Changed my post, missed the five limit...

The House of Baroc laughs at such sums. 500,000 of your 'credits' will be sent to you, for your creatures.

OOC: Changed my post, missed the five limit...

"I'm glad to take the 450,000 bonus. I'll put it to good use. Thank you...you're a generous man."

"Will they be shipped or do I take them with me? Do they need shots or anything?"

"Shots aren't required. Their immune system proves superior to anything we've ever seen. You may have your pet shipped to you, but you could just take it with you when you leave."

"If I could take them now please."

Lux smiled eagerly.

OOC: Yes I did that one on purpose...he has no clue about the value of your money...

A man picks up the five creatures and carries them off into the darkness...

The shopowner chuckles as the man leaves. He payed for 10 times what he got....an enormous fee for any nation given the strength of Steel Butterfly's economy and the value of its currency.

*Hands the salesman a check*

"I guess i'll take 'em now"

*Leaves with new pets*

Pets Unlimited recieves a call from Luisa Marquez, the UN Ambassitor of Joven. "Good evening," she says. "I have seen the pictures of your Orion Mu, and they seem like facinating creatures. I wish to purchace a red one. What address should I mail the check to?"

The director of the company was quite astonished and somewhat confused. For one thing, the lady repeated herself when she said "Good evening" without even letting him get a response in. Also, she mentioned "mailing" as in letters. Such technology hadn't been used by the Empire for centuries. He didn't know what to tell the lady.

EDIT: POST NUMBER 6000 BABY! FUCK IN' EH!

Is it edible? Uranium doesn't taste very nice and the evil hypnotoads have confiscated our food supply!

The only downside is that the Mu's flesh is quite poisonous, meaning no feasting on it. However, who would ever want to eat those cute little things?

The humble Toadistanian ambassador apologizes for his blatant stupidity and thanks you for your kindly reminder. Obviously the deleterious effects of our nation's hypnotoad infestation has spread to the minds of its people...

OOC: The good evening repitition is a typo. Sorry about that. As for mailing, Joven is a rather backward nation who only recently entered into national affairs. They still use a mailing system, and the deligate automatically assues that most countries do.

Cute critters..
I will buy two.. a red one and a blue one

Creds wired..

"Being somewhat magical, it seems the Mu actually have the ability to heal who they want to, and let die who they don't. No one in the empire eats the stuff...it tastes quite bad actually..."

OOC: I swear, if I chose to sell Dire Wolves I could get people buying the right to be savaged by a nigh invincible animal. Will you people buy anything?

OOC: Get out of my cute critter store! :lol:

Kelly Maxwell sends a communique. "I'll take one blue one, and one green one. Charge it to Prince Alexander's credit card."

Alexander walks past. "What? NO!"

Three questions...

1: Do you think they have possible military applications?
2: What do they eat?
3: Would you accept well-preserved corpses as payment?

Three questions...

1: Do you think they have possible military applications?
2: What do they eat?
3: Would you accept well-preserved corpses as payment?

I'll answer the first two tomorrow...along with SLAG's questions...

But no...we don't accept dead things as payment :?

This fare creature rivals even that of our national animal, the "Combat Womat." While the wombat may be cute... its ferocity when fighting is unparalled. That's why we have yet to market the creature to the universe, we fear it will tear apart the owners.

Anways, I'm sure the Emperor would love to see a creature of such epic cuteness. We shall take one... in the color of... blue.

Thank you.

A young man arrives with a formal document in hand, and a pet carrier with a Mu pering back out.

To the individuals selling the creatures labled Mu. Please be advised that the animals are now banned from being bought or sold within the Confederacy of Lords, or any Lord, Citizen, Peasent, or Military Officer of the Confederacy without a licence. We have discovered that your creatures do not interact well with some of our population. We hope that you will be helpful in maintaing this ban. I must also note that some creatures find the skin non-poisonus. Although the effects are still...dangerous.
The Secretary of the Overlord.

P.S. Also I am personally returning this MU as it has been traumatized by recent events. The armsman will pay for a replacement but this creature now has a fear of the dark, ovens, sharp objects, Woks, stuffed animals, the smell of balsalmic vinagar, lizards, and any creature over two meters tall. It tends to react violently, attempting to flee in a bezerk manner. Please find it a good home.

The Mu being returned seemes to have some scorched fur, a bite out of one ear, (that on closer examination is actually looks like a acid burn) and looks like it has taken a trip through hell, (which as far as the Mu is concerned it has).

"How...horrible..." The man said, sedating the Mu before he put the wretched animal to sleep.

Pets Unlimited is now thinking of doing background checks on all customers to avoid such disaster.

Kelly sighed. She looked around. "Okay, Alex is locked inside the bedroom." She activated the communicator.

[code:1:531e0db64f]TO: Pets Unlimited
FROM: Kelly Maxwell, Fiance of Prince Alexander Black
RE: Orion Mu

I should like to purchase a black one. If there are no black ones, I'll purchase a red one. The money is...[/code:1:531e0db64f] she opened Alexander's wallet and put the money into the transfer tube,
[code:1:531e0db64f]en route. Pleasure doing business with you.[/code:1:531e0db64f]

"A red one will be sent as soon as the money is recieved."

>Money arrives<

3 days later...

"Hmph." Alexander leaned back. "I can't believe that you got a mu."

"Aw, but look! It's so cute." Kelly picked it up and made little baby noises.

Alexander muttered something vaguely depreciating to all female life on this planet, and went to sleep.

Questions asked by SLAGLand Scientists

1. Diet

The Orion Mu is an omnivorious species that by definition eats both plants and animals. A scavenger, the Mu does not ususally kill its prey, although it is quite capable of it.

2. Breeding patterns

The Orion Mu breeds at five distinct times of the year, rotating yearly. It has been found to be near impossible to predict the exact time breeding occurs.

3. Intelligence - reaction to attempts to train and teach

Mu’s are extrememly individualistic and at times stubborn. While one may embrace training, another may rebel, and yet another may do it but not seem to care.

4. Natural defenses

A Mu’s quick wit, agile body, and small yet sharp teeth are its main defense. A spiteful little thing, the Mu’s flesh is poisonous if ingested and causes death in 99% of all known occurances.

5. Behavior patterns toward trainers, scientists, and other creatures

Following the differences between one animal to the next, some Mu’s take to trainers, scientists, and other creatures well while others fight them off, and some are indifferent.

Question asked by Cheeseduck

6: Do you think they have possible military applications?

The only use I could see would be that of a poison, but that is sick and wrong towards the animals involved.

*Personal Response from the Tercero, Xavier Delryn*


We would enjoy purchasing 5 of these animals, and promise to treat them as they should be treated. We are sending the check with this message now, and wish one of each color.

We would use the both as pets, and to roam the Gardens at night for pest control. Do they react well with other pets, such as dogs? We have a sizable amount of dogs at he palace, both for patrolling and as pets. Also, what do they eat?

I'll buy another two, black Mu's.
