Awkward Determination: Would Anyone Like To Purchase A 'Cuddly Calyn'?

Reluctantly: I have a rather unique opportunity for anyone who wishes to take advantage.

Embarrassment: Would anyone on CDN like to purchase any of eight official "Cuddly Calyn" plush toys?

Desperate cheer: These are one-half life-sized representations of a former elcor ambassador, officially endorsed by the Dekuunan embassy. Awkwardly: They were intended to further the cause of goodwill between elcor and human, and have proven popular with human children. They are in good condition.

Bluntly: I happened to be in possession of several.

....

Shame: Eight.

Determined: I no longer have need for them, and while I intend to donate at least some to a certain charity that has aided me in the past, I wondered if anyone here might have use for them, and be willing to pay.

Grimly: Knowing CDN, I'm sure some of you could use them as target practice or mock guards or ironic art statements.

A plush elcor?

... How big are they?

Half life-sized, like he said. I've seen the small ones, and they're really cute, but that big seems excessive. They'd be bigger than me. If I was on all fours, anyway.

unless they are life size count me in. Gonna add it to the collection.

Now all I need is a turian and a batarian. Strangely few plushies of those.

And then things got really fucking uncomfortable.

Fucking weirdo.

FEMES will buy one of the plushies; we can put it in the clinic lobby. There are worse ways to put the kids at ease before a check-up.

I'd also like to buy one in an official capacity. I know just the patient...

Hey, Its for a project, just bought ourself a place on zakera and we need some decoration for the kids room.

You hang out on a forum with mercs and slavers. There is a thread right below me LITTERALLY advocating to kill homeless people! And I'm the wierdo?

With mild amusement
What gets me is that apparently some of you people think plush batarians and turians are weird, but not the relatively gigantic elcor.

Narcissistically
I won't be buying one. Calyn's cute, but I'm cuddly enough on my own.

I'd love to buy one for my daughter. But I don't think it'd be able to get through customs here.

Jeez. That reminds me, I need to buy toys for Future Galactic Emperor.
All I have is a holographic mobile with little space ships. How large is this thing, and what's your price?

Is this like a running gag that people aren't letting me in on?

No I just think half of CDN just can not read.

Bemusement: I seem to have made the right choice in posting here.

With intent to clarify: They are large, yes. Very much so. A full half the size of an adult elcor. They're intended in part, I think, to help make the young of other species comfortable around people of our size.

Straight-faced: Elcor are your friends. They are cuddly. You feel safe and warm around them.

Tonelessly: We can be rather frightening in our girth, I suspect, to those so undersized. I do know the line has been successful.

Speculative: What child could resist a stuffed toy of such impressive dimensions?

Patiently: They are half life size. It can be the centrepiece of your collection.


Polite acknowledgment: Indeed. I trust the children will enjoy it.


Polite acknowledgement, hints of wariness: Do I want to know? But thank you.

Pleasant, business-like: I will contact each of you privately, and arrange shipment and price. Thank you for your interest.

Count me in.

I am sure this association you're referring to will be delighted!

I'll offer double their offer.

we've made offers?

Well I guess 0x2 still = 0

I now offer 50 credits and thus win.

This is the recent Ambassador Calyn, who gave the 'our heads held as high as our necks permit' speech? Are there any left? I'd quite like one, if they haven't all been sold already. Let me know what it'll cost and I'll arrange shipping with a cargo agent there.

(Now I just have to figure out where to put it - it turned out somebody forgot to load one crate of the Mountor cuddle pillows to go to the Citadel, so when they found out they just gave one to each of the cast. At least this one's only half lifesize.)
