WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

As do I. Basker has some training already, but maintaining will be the future challenge.

[ But even if Basker becomes more and more wild, Sherlock will still think of him as a good boy. ]

[flamekthunder]

Has he played with other dogs? Socializing is important, especially when so young.

[astudyinviolet]

He has the opportunity to now within the Conservatory. The pack of Xolos are canine-like enough, and he seems to get along with the other creatures.

[flamekthunder]

That's good then.

Do all three heads have their own personality...?

[astudyinviolet]

From what I can tell so far, Basker's personality is excitable, cheerful puppy. I've yet to discern if that is proof of a single personality or three personalities with great overlap.

[flamekthunder]

It would be hard to tell at this stage I suppose. Perhaps as they get older you'll be able to see more individual traits if they exist.

[astudyinviolet]

You do bring to mind something I hadn't considered before. Should I expect Basker to age like a dog from my world or more like the mythical beast his kind is named after?

[ Which could either be very slow growing or very fast. ]

[flamekthunder]

[...]

That's a good question. Are there any books or references you could use? Ask the breeder?

[astudyinviolet]

Given how irresponsible the breeder is, I would rather obtain my information from another source.

[flamekthunder]

Fair enough.

I haven't hear or seen others of this breed here in this world yet, but there may be something in the Archives. I can help look if you need.

[astudyinviolet]

It would be appreciated.
