Sketch/Stora/ScarletParticipant12
Lucy's imaginationI can be an art commisioner, like Lucy.
She's technically not a commisioner, but I guess she does that. Anyway, I can host a TV show. My dad IS Mettaton. . .
I can teach music! Either that or I'm just a crazy mucician you would see at the side of th road.

the Periodic TableYes! This sounds fun!
I'll be the manager of the town beach and yacht club, if that's okay!
Me too!
Sane AEs, do you want to start a library?

SomewhereI'll join!
Random Person's Random Oddities
You look up and see a creaky, wooden sign, swinging in the wind. It says Random Person's Random Oddities. The shop looks notoriously dodgy, it's front door is shabby and the plaster is peeling. There's one window looking into the tiny shop and the curtains are closed. You hesatintly open the door with a squeak and creak and step insied the shop. The door squeaks back into its position with its hinges looking grumpy. You ask yourself why hinges can look grumpy.
The shop is cozy and cluttered. You see some wands in one corner, and some dragon scales in another. A sign that says We accept Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts only hangs above the counter. There's an array of minature dragons on the counter. Sudddenly, a head pops from under the counter. You scream. "Sorry! I was organizing my apothecary ingredients!" the person apologizes.
She has a striking resemblence to Murtagh, except for a small scar across her cheek. You stare at the scar. She sees you and says, "Oh, I got that when trying to get a unicorn hair for my wands."
The shopowner's wearing wizarding robes with a butterbeer cork necklace and radish earrings. Her hair is bubblegum pink. "Welcome to Random Person's Random Oddities! So, what would you like?" she asks.
"We sell everything! From Camp Half-Blood necklaces to the Quibbler! We also sell Quidditch balls, minature dragons, brooms, wizarding staffs, elf bows, dwarf axes, assorted weapons, and magical artifacts! There's even pets!" she smiles.

CaliforniaMine's more of a stand, but whatever.
Name: Lucy B. Comicbooks
Type of shop: Comics/caricatures/studio
Owener(s): Lucy B.
Assistant(s): Are my AEs allowed?
Appearance (Optional, also can be changed.): the outside is made of pencils, the inside has a pink floor and a gray celing, as is the roof of the outside. Several rooms, but most of them are studio space used by artists. People can buy and sell their own works for a cut of the profit.
Other: Anyone can set up a stand of their own artwork inside my store, I give everyone permission, just don't steal artwork and say it's yours.

The FutureI remember when this was around! The link you shared only brought me back to the pages, not the actual thread though. But anyways, I'd love to join! I can actually have my bookstore here, then. Mmm… I am going to call it the "Book Nook" which sells vintage and antique books, plus it has a little baked goods and tea corner, and spots to read to decide whether or not you wish to buy the book.
Wonderful idea to refresh, Impunity Jane!

Impunity JaneParticipantIt did? Weird! I just tried it and it worked. Are you sure you copied the whole link?

The FutureAhh, I just saw Booksy wants to do a bookstore too. Unless it is a problem, can we have two for our town?
Name: The Book Nook
Type of shop: Bookstore
Owner(s): Myself and Quill – we manage the books
Assistant(s): Zeon and Poofball (CAPTCHA) – Zeon runs the bakery and tea stand, Poofball flies up and helps grab books too high for the average person.
Appearance (Optional, also can be changed.): A building shaped like a beautiful antique book that's open. The outside has wonderful gardens maintained by Quill, the inside has wooden floors and large glowing lanterns. Wrapping the walls are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves filled with vintage and antique books (vintage is 20 years+, antique is 100 years+). In diagonal corners of the room are a set of beanbags and sofas, so the buyer can decide whether or not they enjoy the book before purchasing it. In another corner near checkout is a small counter of baked goods and tea (because most of us are too young for coffee) manned by Zeon. Upstairs is even more bookshelves and seating, with little tables and chairs to eat and look out over the hundreds of books and the town. In the basement – also with wood floors and large lanterns – is a poetry slam/live performance setup. There are numerous small wooden tables and chairs, with a stage platform. This platform is for poetry slams, music performances they made themselves, and small gatherings. That's all for now!
Other: We sell vintage and antique books along with promoting a community, and selling small goods like muffins and tea.

LeeliParticipantOMG, this sounds Aaww-sooome! Totally doing it! I'll probably open an art/handmade goods shop with a small cafe in it. Or an animal shelter… or both!

EllesmeraI'm definitely in! I'll run a bookstore/library (you can buy and check out books).

MoonlightParticipant12
EllesmeraOops, I didn't read through the other posts! I'm going to start a camping store instead of a bookstore/library.
Name: Roadtripper's Camping Supplies
Type of shop: Camping Store
Owner(s): Moonlight
Assistant(s): None
Appearance (Optional, also can be changed.): The front has a sign in a fun font. In the windows you can see hiking boots, tents, hats, and other camping supplies. Inside there is a very large store with camping, hiking, roadtripping, overnight-camp, etc. supplies.
Other: Nothing much.
P.S. Sorry again for submitting my last post without reading through the other comments!

BluebirdParticipantI'll run a gardening shop!
Name: Early Bird Gardens
Type of shop: Gardening shop (I sell plants of all kinds, gardening tools, pots and stuff, etc.)
Owner(s): Me!
Assistant(s): Someone can help me if they want…
Appearance (Optional, also can be changed.): Many of the plants are outside or in the greenhouse, which is overflowing with every flower and tree and plant imaginable. (Some on racks, some in hanging baskets, some larger plants in pots) There is a medium-sized, airy building with big windows that houses the tools, pots, garden features, etc. that are for sale, as well as carts and the checkout aisles. The whole place is very open and bright. Out front, there are colorful wooden chairs, a trellis, and a large, pastel blue sign that says Early Bird Gardens.
Other: We do our best to do all we can for the earth and make plants (especially trees) affordable. Also, the shop does things like plant raffles, giveaways, and events such as 'paint a pot day' and an Earth Day parade.

Clouded LeopardParticipantOooh! This is a really cool idea! I'll try it out. 😀 Someone should probably have an eatery or restaurant in this town, so my AEs and I'll do that!
Name: The Spanish Galleon (Like 8-Piece? That's what he's named after, a Spanish piece-of-eight.)
Type of shop: On-order restaurant
Owner(s): Clouded Leopard, 8-Piece and MewFour.
Assistant(s): Vixtion is the supplier of all the food the restaurant uses. Truck pulls up every morning. If you call ahead to the place you can get your meal very fast!
Appearance: "On-order? What's that?" you may be asking. Well, since I couldn't decide on one type of dish to serve (and there's not too many people in this town), on-order means that you can come in and order whatever you like! Of course, we deal more in a genra of foods rather than specific dishes, so you could come and say "I'd like Chinese food, and something like soup." Then your order would be taken, and in twenty minutes or so it's ready! As said above, Vixtion – my CAPTCHA – is the supplier of the food, 8-Piece and I are the cooks, and MewFour is the waiter/accountant.
As for the physical appearance of the restaurant, it's a fairly small and cosy-looking place with a black-and-blue swirled paint on it, very triangular and geometric shapes. Inside the tables have a scattering of 2-4 seat tables in the middle, and booths around the edges. There's one long counter at the back of the restaurant, and the kitchen behind that. The entire place has smoky smell to it (not like cigarette smoke, like spices and herbs).
Other: Desserts are also offered! They range from ice cream and gelato to chocolate cake and Italian cannoli. They can be ordered at the end of your meal if you want one.
