NICE

Is your heart full of sunshine? Or does your spirit resemble a winter wind?

This is the Four Seasons Inquest!

The Trading Post Goblins have devised a scientifically accurate* examination designed to precisely determine the season that best represents you… the season in which you flourish, shine, and bloom. You may opt to take this quiz and purchase the pack that the Goblins deem appropriate for you, or you can plead your case the old-fashioned way!

For $49US, you will receive a Limited Edition perfume oil, bath oil, and atmosphere spray that expresses our interpretation - through these mediums - of one of the Four Seasons. The bath oils and atmosphere sprays are 4oz, and the perfume oil is 5ml.

The scents were created based on a number of inspirations... Alphonse Mucha's Seasons, Giuseppe Arcimboldo's Allegories, Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni, and, of course, the essence of the seasons themselves. The perfume, bath oil, and atmosphere sprays coordinate with one another, but are not identical in scent. Our intention was to create a complete bath and atmospheric experience, and not simply layer the same scent again and again on top of itself. Goblins dig variety!


*Scientifically accurate in Goblin terms, of course. Which is pretty loose and debatable.

eh

How do you go about coercing the Goblins? One of three ways --

If you choose to take the quiz, you will be directed to another page where you'll be answering a few questions that will determine which season is best for you.

If you would like to plead your case, please use the comments field in the order form to explain to the Goblins (through a statement, prose, poetry, pictures, puns - or any other medium that strikes your fancy) why a certain season speaks to you.

If you opt out of the quiz and choose to leave the comments field blank, the denizens of Trading Post will utilize the ancient art of sniffomancy in order to determine your fate.

Achtung! -- The quiz is intended to be fun, and is for amusement purposes only, no matter what the Goblins say. Please do not take it seriously!

Each of the Four Seasons are only sold as a set, the packs cannot be split up, and the products in this LE cannot be sold on their own. You may place an order for multiple sets, or place multiple orders; in either case, each will be considered separately in the course of the Inquest process. If you are placing an order for more than one set, you may submit multiple Four Seasons pleas or quiz results, applicable to each order. Please indicate which Four Seasons statement or quiz result pertains to which order.

You have until June 27, 2008 to participate, at which point the Four Seasons Inquest will end, and the Goblins will pop open a six pack of brew, order a pizza, and catch up on their tivo.

(Apologies to our southern hemisphere people for being so northern hemisphere-centric!)

Sarah, Retail Therapy Mistress of the BPAL forum, is responsible for the idea behind the Inquisitions and Inquests, and Diana, Administrator of the BPAL forum, provided us with the quiz code skeleton! Miss Jennifer Williamson provided the Goblin illustrations, and Kathy Flynn helped patch up the quiz htmlz! A million hugs to all of you! We love you!
