A little bell rings overhead, signaling a new customer. "Welcome child!" calls a sweet voice from somewhere amongst the rows of shelving, "I'll be right out." The smell of vanilla, nutmeg, thyme, and basil is heavy in the air, perhaps she's baking something back there?

Not quite. "Who the hell are you?" the second voice was coming from behind you, but when you turn around, there's no one there. Looking back toward the sweeter voice you come face to face with scrawny young man, he looks disheveled and a little annoyed, like he had just woken up. "I asked who you are" he grunted, his hands stuffed in his pockets. Taking a closer look at him it becomes obvious that he work here, considering he wears a white apron over his clothing that reads, "Grandma Cinnamon's Spice Shack"

"Hey! I asked for your name." An old woman walks out from between two shelves filled with various dried herbs and spices. She gives the boy a bit of an angered look, shooing him with her hands. She's short, but she has a proud look about her. "What are you looking for darling? I see you?ve met Mari, don't you worry about him. So what are you looking for?" A clueless smile settles over her face, barely realizing she'd repeated her question.

More coming later...

Updates and FAQ

Rules
1. Don't steal the art! Doing so will result in automatic blacklisting and a much worse fate than anything Cairbre could do

2. Only pm the Grandma Cinnamon account with questions about the shop

3. No flaming, the Spice Shack should be a fun place, and as I said before, Cairbre will eat you

4. Spice Babies are RP intensive pets. Please do not leave for more than two weeks without telling one of the owners or the mule. If an owner is absent for more than three weeks, and has not responded to any of our messages, they will be sent a notice that their Spice is going up for adoption, if no response is given, the spice will either be given in a RP contest or sold at auction.

5. No refunds, as said in #4, if your Spice is auctioned off, don't expect your money back. You won't get it.

6. If you would like to affiliate with the shop, please post your banner in the shop and use the code in the links post.

7. Keep it PG-13, seriously. Spice babies do breed, but there's no reason you need to RP that in the shop thread or the RP thread, if you insist on RPing it, keep it out of here. Follow the TOS D<

8. No Godmodding, it makes me sad.

9. Swearing is alright, in moderation

10. No fighting, unless it's in the roleplay, and more like arguing, nothing serious basically.

Rules will be added as needed

~~~

FAQs
Q. I WANT ONE!
A. Wait for a flatsale, auction, raffle, contest, or buy a custom, customs are nice <3

Q. But they cost too muchhhhhhh DDDDDDDDDD;
A. D: Whining isn't gunna change the prices, dearie. We've got payment plans, if that will help, and you're more than welcome to co-own, but we're not changing the prices. Each stage is hand drawn and individual to each spice. I think that's well worth a high price. (And tips! D: -ruka)

Q. My Spice Baby hasn't grown in over a month!
A. Spice Babies grow through Rp quests in their journals, the more the Rp, the faster they grow

Stages

<center> User Image

</center>Plant - Some special, all Custom
Spices in their plant stage have even less power than those in their bottle stage. They may be able to sway and are capable of metal communication, but only with their chosen guardian. As with most of the other stages, this stage's length can vary anywhere from one week to three depending on the guardian's activity and the spice's complexity.
Length - 1 to 3 weeks

Bottle - Flatsale
All spice babies from flatsale start out as a pretty generic bottle. Simple, aye? Well, the length of this stage may vary, though it usually shouldn't last over two weeks. While in their bottle a spice can't do much, maybe they can move a half inch or so around inside. Who knows? It varies between spices and personality.
Length - 5 days to 2 weeks

Infant (0-4) - All
You little one is starting to explore on their own, but they still rely on you to keep them safe. They start learning to walk and talk around this stage, depending a lot on how often you RP. Events like first words and first steps can be made for memorial purposes. Check the Studio post for more info. Most infants will be loud, with the exception of a few shy babies that prefer to keep to themselves. The length of the stage will vary depending on how often you RP and how well you did on your growth quest. Higher scores equal less of a wait. Small details may be added to your child if they are shown in a roleplay session. For an example, scars, face painting, gifts.
Length - 2 to 3 weeks

Child (5-9) - All
Your child can now walk and talk as well as any normal child. Well, maybe a little more talk than most. In this stage they start going to school, and start making friends. Once again, check the Studio post for information on getting pictures done of your baby with their friends. They can run and jump and generally wreak havoc on everything around them, whether it's with their energy or their eerie silence, it all depends on the spice.
Length - 2 to 3 weeks

Preteen (10-12) - Some special, all custom
Ah puberty, I pity the poor owners with the energetic children. This stage will be particularly difficult. Hey, you might even come out of it with a few little extras! Preteens, because of their fluctuating hormones, prefer not to be photographed, unless of course they develop a little crush, check the Studio post for more information.
Length - 2 to 3 weeks

Midteen (13-15) - Flatsale, some specials, full customs
Oh boy. Wow, so you've made it this far? Depending on their personality, your spice will either have their hormones under control of be completely overwhelmed by them. Sounds like fun eh? It gets better. Your child might start getting more involved with their friends, their hobbies, and even getting a little more serious with their crushes, so it'd be good to keep a watchful eye, even though Midteens cannot have accidents. (What's an accident you say? I'll explain in the next stage)
Length - 3 to 4 weeks

Late Teen (16-19) - Some specials, all Custom
Coming soon, I swear

I'll finish the rest soon, I swear

Roleplay

The setting is a midsize American city, modern time.

All Spices need to have their journals updated regularly once we have a guild set up, until then most RP will take place in the shop thread. They grow through quests, in which you'll have a choice between collecting items, RP, or a drawing.

Guild threads for certain RPs such as holiday events, parties, local hot spots, dates, weddings, and school, will all be added as needed.

Please PM Grandma Cinnamon with any other questions or concerns.

Breeding

So, what would you like to know? All of it? Then let's start with the traditional shall we?

Traditional Breeding
Spice babies, being basically human, breed like humans do. They fall in love, get married, and start a family. Chances are they'll do a lot of experimenting in their late teen stage, but some Spices will wait until they become Adults to start thinking about love. For a traditional breeding your Spice will need to get to know their partner through rp, go out for a while, and maybe get engaged and married. A traditional breeding will usually consist of one child, though in a stable environment, there's a slightly higher chance of twins, or maybe even triplets. (Le gasp!)
Currently only Male x Female relationships will apply for traditional breeding
