I’m bored so I’m writing another stupid pinkerlocke story, no clan lore will be involved I just wanted to write stuff because it sounds fun...and I can't tell if this is a really good idea or a terrible one.

The story so far...

40805825_350.png

Elysium never expected to inherit his mother’s bakery. In fact, he had no idea that his mother even owned a bakery. Apparently no one else did either, or else the so-called Prince of Pestilence would never have gotten it.

I mean seriously. Don’t trust a plague dragon to cook. This is not a disaster waiting to happen- This is a disaster begging to happen.

Elysium will have to do his best, but he can’t do everything alone! So his sister brought him some willing workers to help him- although she didn’t leave out the part that he was a prince looking for love. Of course, that was no accident.

This is the story of our rather handsome, somewhat charming, but otherwise incompetent plague prince and his newfound and sometimes unwanted harem.

As of Episode 15...
The story so far… to be added to the opening page.
Drakes Bake Cakes is becoming more and more successful, but why? Is it because everyone is getting along? That they are working harder? Or maybe it is because of the power of love?

And at what cost? Even with Leshya and Marybelle out of town, there seems to be more competition than ever before for the prince’s hand- and they’re not your typical suitors either. There’s no telling what these dragons are going to do!


Rules in general will follow the original Pinkerlocke ruleset found here.

@FinalValkyrie21 I'll add you right away~ Thanks! Also, here is my post for today! [center][b]***Episode 1: The Beginning of the Apocalypse***[/b] [img]http://illustrain.com/img/work/2015/illustrain01-bakeryshop.png[/img] (stock photo)[/center] Elysium and Mira are walking down through an unfamiliar town, looking to find where the new bakery is supposed to be. Eventually, they spot it, a humble but adorable little cafe near the town square. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I can’t believe I left the mage academy for this... [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: Well look at this! If it isn’t your lovely new bakery! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: What do you mean ‘lovely’? It’s a disaster in disguise! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: A happy disaster! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I can’t do this! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: You can do it, you just don’t [i]want[/i] to. Elysium frowns at Mira before walking into the bakery, cautiously opening the door only to be greeted with five dragons yelling “SURPRISE!” at the top of their lungs. Elysium freezes in utter shock as Mira tries his best not to laugh behind him. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: As fun as this act is, this is no way to treat your Prince Elysium. Be more respectful! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: No- it’s really unnecessary. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m really meeting you for the first time! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: I never thought he would be this cute~ [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Don’t worry about it, this is probably just a dream. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/418608/41860719p.png[/img]: Oh, it’s definitely a dream. Just don’t wake up. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: Do you like them? They’re here to help you with the bakery! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/418608/41860719p.png[/img]: They’re also your new suitors! Aren’t you happy, brother? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: ….wait what?! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Princess Gehenna told us that her older brother was looking for a mate. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: I heard the Prince of Pestilence also needs help at his new bakery!

[img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: Gehenna… you were always the mischievous one… [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420161/42016074p.png[/img]: So... what do you think? Mira flicks his tail at Elysium, but he sighs nervously. They seem so eager to be here, even if they are only here for a chance to marry into royalty. Even if he has no idea who any of these dragons are, he can’t just let them down...can he? Elysium swallows hard. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: ...I’ll accept your little challenge. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Really? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: Hooray! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Excellent! Then we start now! My name is Marybelle of House Lealan. Marybelle bows her head. Elysium visibly winces before sitting on a comfy chair, expecting this to take a while. He glances around, noting that the inside of the bakery was cleaned up and decorated already for his arrival. It was cute and homely...perhaps even sickeningly so. Elysium could only imagine that somehow this would be his own personal dungeon. Deep inside he wanted to scream, but that would be poor etiquette and he definitely would not let his sister bask in his own embarrassment. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Are you feeling alright? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: No. But please continue anyway. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: I think that’s enough for now. Mavir? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: I’m Mavir! Nice to meet you! I’m a world class chef from the Precipice Pâtisserie- an extremely popular place! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Oh yeah. Time to talk about myself. Uhm. I’m Leshya, I’m a free spirit type. I like music and art- especially baking! The pearl catcher seemed just as nervous and unprepared as he was. Elysium was a little thankful that he wasn’t the only one. Even Gehenna and Mira seemed to still be in shock, as if she never expected him to take up her challenge. In any case, he was glad that all the introductions were over, at least to his knowledge. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/418608/41860719p.png[/img]: Elysium?! You look like you are going to faint! Maybe you should go into the kitchen and drink some water. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: That… that sounds like a great idea. Little did he know what his sister had in store for him. As he walked behind the counter and into the kitchen behind he was convinced he was really going to faint as another female dragon waved to him. He knew he should have never taken his sister’s advice, what had gotten into him? Perhaps subconsciously, he was enjoying himself. Maybe this is what he really wanted. Maybe. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: Welcome! I was beginning to think I would never get to meet you! Elysium dearly wanted to say, “me too” but he bit back his tongue. He knew it would be bad if he took out his anger on her, especially when she hadn’t done anything yet. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: The name’s Cameron. A pleasure to meet you. How’s the kitchen? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I only came in here to get a drink of water, but it looks great. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: Excellent. I cleaned up everything myself. Suddenly, a mouse skitters across the floor, much to Cameron’s dismay. Elysium recoils overdramatically away from the little furry creature, even though he can barely see it. For all the stress he endured today, he feared that this might cause him to have a heart attack. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: I guess I need to do a better job. Haha… But it’s only one mouse, right? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I think this problem will have to wait until tomorrow. I don't think we can open the bakery if there’s too many mice. Well it was somewhat true, but Elysium truly felt like he had endured enough for the day- at least from an emotional standpoint. Maybe everything will all be better tomorrow, but it probably won't.

@FinalValkyrie21 I'll add you right away~ Thanks!

***Episode 1: The Beginning of the Apocalypse***

Elysium and Mira are walking down through an unfamiliar town, looking to find where the new bakery is supposed to be. Eventually, they spot it, a humble but adorable little cafe near the town square.

40805825p.png: I can’t believe I left the mage academy for this...

42016074p.png: Well look at this! If it isn’t your lovely new bakery!

40805825p.png: What do you mean ‘lovely’? It’s a disaster in disguise!

42016074p.png: A happy disaster!

40805825p.png: I can’t do this!

42016074p.png: You can do it, you just don’t want to.

Elysium frowns at Mira before walking into the bakery, cautiously opening the door only to be greeted with five dragons yelling “SURPRISE!” at the top of their lungs. Elysium freezes in utter shock as Mira tries his best not to laugh behind him.

42016074p.png: As fun as this act is, this is no way to treat your Prince Elysium. Be more respectful!

40805825p.png: No- it’s really unnecessary.

42530225p.png: Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m really meeting you for the first time!

42562387p.png: I never thought he would be this cute~

42605473p.png: Don’t worry about it, this is probably just a dream.

41860719p.png: Oh, it’s definitely a dream. Just don’t wake up.

42016074p.png: Do you like them? They’re here to help you with the bakery!


41860719p.png: They’re also your new suitors! Aren’t you happy, brother?

40805825p.png: ….wait what?!

42562387p.png: Princess Gehenna told us that her older brother was looking for a mate.

42530225p.png: I heard the Prince of Pestilence also needs help at his new bakery!

42605473p.png: All because he can’t touch anything without it rotting in his hands.

40805825p.png: Gehenna… you were always the mischievous one…

42016074p.png: So... what do you think?

Mira flicks his tail at Elysium, but he sighs nervously. They seem so eager to be here, even if they are only here for a chance to marry into royalty. Even if he has no idea who any of these dragons are, he can’t just let them down...can he? Elysium swallows hard.

40805825p.png: ...I’ll accept your little challenge.

42605473p.png: Really?

42530225p.png: Hooray!

42562387p.png: Excellent! Then we start now! My name is Marybelle of House Lealan.

Marybelle bows her head. Elysium visibly winces before sitting on a comfy chair, expecting this to take a while. He glances around, noting that the inside of the bakery was cleaned up and decorated already for his arrival. It was cute and homely...perhaps even sickeningly so.

Elysium could only imagine that somehow this would be his own personal dungeon. Deep inside he wanted to scream, but that would be poor etiquette and he definitely would not let his sister bask in his own embarrassment.

42562387p.png: Are you feeling alright?


40805825p.png: No. But please continue anyway.

42562387p.png: I think that’s enough for now. Mavir?

42530225p.png: I’m Mavir! Nice to meet you! I’m a world class chef from the Precipice Pâtisserie- an extremely popular place!

42605473p.png: Oh yeah. Time to talk about myself. Uhm. I’m Leshya, I’m a free spirit type. I like music and art- especially baking!

The pearl catcher seemed just as nervous and unprepared as he was. Elysium was a little thankful that he wasn’t the only one. Even Gehenna and Mira seemed to still be in shock, as if she never expected him to take up her challenge. In any case, he was glad that all the introductions were over, at least to his knowledge.

41860719p.png: Elysium?! You look like you are going to faint! Maybe you should go into the kitchen and drink some water.

40805825p.png: That… that sounds like a great idea.

Little did he know what his sister had in store for him. As he walked behind the counter and into the kitchen behind he was convinced he was really going to faint as another female dragon waved to him. He knew he should have never taken his sister’s advice, what had gotten into him?

Perhaps subconsciously, he was enjoying himself. Maybe this is what he really wanted. Maybe.

42187977p.png: Welcome! I was beginning to think I would never get to meet you!

Elysium dearly wanted to say, “me too” but he bit back his tongue. He knew it would be bad if he took out his anger on her, especially when she hadn’t done anything yet.

42187977p.png: The name’s Cameron. A pleasure to meet you. How’s the kitchen?

[img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: It’s something that must be done. Come on. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I understand. But- [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: This is no time to hesitate! The wildclaw shouts as she prods a broomstick under the stove and three mice scamper out. Elysium stumbles back in shock before hastily slashing at the air. Cameron slices at them, but they evade her claws and dart under the nearest storage cabinet. Meanwhile, Mavir uses her small and nimble figure to slither underneath the cabinets and snarls, scattering the three mice. However, what soon became three mice quickly became almost fifty. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: Aw hats!!! Eventually, somehow all of this chaos works itself out. The dragons emerge victorious although they are covered in filth and dust. After removing the mice colony, they work together to clean the rest of the kitchen area. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: We survived! ...I mean, I'm glad that's over. He breathes a sigh of relief, even though things would only become even more stressful once the bakery opened and everyone had to get to work. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: By the way, where are Marybelle and Leshya? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: I sent them to the marketplace to get some fresh ingredients. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: What!? That was this morning! They should have been back by now! [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/408059/40805825p.png[/img]: Yeah... Now that I think of it the marketplace isn't that far from the town square. They should have been back hours ago. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425303/42530225p.png[/img]: I bet they're wasting time. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/421880/42187977p.png[/img]: Should I fetch them? Cameron felt like she needed some time away from them, and what would be better than searching for the missing dragons? She had already cleaned the whole kitchen herself and was proud of it. However, putting in a team effort to accomplish more was more important in Elysium's eyes. It was a humbling experience- a bit too humbling. Meanwhile, at the marketplace, the two other dragons were not busy, but not quite wasting time either. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: How much are those bags of fresh flour? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420403/42040265p.png[/img]: They're thirty treasure pieces each. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: We should also get eggs, milk, and some sugar. Oh and strawberries, apples, and tropical fruit! How cool if we could make some mango tarts? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Sure that would be great, but we're on a budget for now. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Oh. I thought the prince would have loads of money. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Well that's true, but he didn't trust us with it. We only need to buy necessities right now. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: So only the basics? How boring. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Its boring, but its practical. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Yeah. I know. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: We'll use the money Elysium gave us, then we bring back enough ingredients for the rest of the week. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Umn. I don't think that would work either. How are we going to carry all of that? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: We can make a few trips. Its not a far flight from the bakery. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: That sounds like a lot of work... Leshya's remark seemed to make Mary unbelievably angry, even though she wasn't quite sure why. It wasn't like either of them were suited for excercise much less heavy lifting. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Leshya. Do you know why we are all here? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: To buy the ingredients, of course? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: Technically that's true. But that's only a small part of our endeavors to win over Prince Elysium. Do your best in every regard. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Yes. I know I should, but- [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: What if you win, do you think you will make a good princess? They do more than just sit around and look pretty, you know. You will have responsibilities. What if you become the queen? [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Maybe... but I don't think I would become the queen. Elysium is only the fourth prince- [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: The third prince, actually, due to recent events. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: Yeah, well, I don't want to do something for the rest of my life that I don't enjoy. Before I came to the bakery, I wanted to be an artist. I knew I would never make it big, but I would make an honest living doing something I loved. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: ...Maybe you are just not cut out for politics. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/426055/42605473p.png[/img]: But this is an opportunity to become a celebrity! If I did win the prince's favor, I could keep creating art even only as a hobby, and I'm sure I would be more successful. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/420403/42040265p.png[/img]: So you two are working for Prince Elysium? Why didn't you just say so? I'll call a strong transport to carry all your things right away. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/425624/42562387p.png[/img]: I guess this isn't the time for gossip!
