WELCOME TO MY POODLEY WORLD
The Setting:
On the surface of a set of drawers somewhere in the world, this bunch are going about their business. Are they tiny, or is the set of drawers huge? Nobody knows. Nobody really cares either. Just go along with it.
The Characters:
(More will be added as the story progresses)
Poodlepuff
Useless Information:
Species: Manpoodle
Favourite colour: Le couleur de l'amore, PINK
Favourite Food: Caviar. Only eats the most expensive seafood, despite selling sweet pastries in his boutique
Smells like: Cotton candy
Feels like: Italian leather and cashmere wool
Sound: Excessively French. Sings in the bath and when Poodleyeti plays his accordion. Whistles or hums elsewhere when his mind wanders to his sweet love
Movement: Total prancer
Priscilla
Useless Information:
Species: Snootibird
Favourite Colour: Yellow
Favourite Food: Sweets, but she can be quite finicky about them. Never seems to be satisfied, no matter how much she enjoys them
Smells like: Bananas with ice-cream and strawberries
Feels like: A pillow worn-in to perfect plushness.
Sound: Warm, inviting and prone to loud bouts of laughter
Movement: Rarely ever still and has a bad habit of letting her arms swing around a little too freely. Likes to skip instead of walking
Sugarcube
Useless Information:
Species: Beefcake
Favourite Colour: Icy blue
Favourite Food: Pastries made with Poodlepuff's tears
Smells like: Perfectly toasted marshmellows
Feels Like: A shag-rug draped over a marble statue
Sound: In his spare time he performs as a baritone opera singer
Movement: Leads with his chin
Poodleyeti
Useless Information:
Species: French Yeti
Favourite Colour: Pink
Favourite Food: Soufflés of all flavours
Smells like: French Vanilla
Feels like: Velvet and Cotton Wool
Sound: Barks and plays the Accordion
Movement: Very soft-footed and always walks on his tip-toes
The Five Frous
Frou-Frou, Frou-Nou, Frou-Ba-Lou, Frou-Sha-Bou, Frou-Ca-Chou
Useless information:
Species: Frou
Favourite Colours: The colours of spongecake
Favourite Food: Spongecake
Smells like: Spongecake
Feels like: Spongecake
Sounds: Frou-Frou squeaks when sat on, Frou-Nou sounds nervous, Frou-Ba-Lou; excited, Frou-Sha-Bou; like a nose with vocal chords, Frou-Ca-Chou; doesn't speak
Lumpy
Useless Information:
Species: Sack-Doll
Favourite Colour: Dusty purple, like lint
Favourite Food: Can't eat. His mouth doesn't open
Smells like: Fabric softener
Feels like: Cotton socks and burlap
Sound: His backside makes bean-rustling noises. Where his voice comes from, nobody knows. His voice could soothe a savage bear if he ever had the chance to chat with one
Movement: He sags here and there, left, right, forward, backward, up and down. He has no spine to provide rigidity as he flops about. Could probably use some starch
Custard
Useless Information:
Species: Sock-Fairy
Favourite Colour: Beige
Favourite Food: Pea Soup
Smells like: Mothballs
Feels like: Old leather.
Sound: Contrary to her adorable-little-old-lady appearance, she's rough in the old voice-box. Her wings hum like an overworked beetle's.
Movement: Hovers around with a pair of tiny fairy wings.
Decadenza
Useless Information:
Species: Fashionista
Favourite Colour: Whatever is in fashion (it's always pink)
Favourite Food: Things so processed that all organic traces have been removed
Smells like: A mysterious concoction of shampoos, beauty products and something you just can't put your finger on
Feels Like: Plastic. And she's proud of it
Sound: Has a musical, deep voice with a deliberately exaggerated accent
Movement: She's a Serial Strutter
