Rainbow Labs, Inc.; Inventions and flags

Along the street is a modern looking office building. In front of it are twelve flag poles carrying many colored flags. Further to the back of the building are a few chimneys that emit smoke. The smoke is not green, I repeat, the smoke is not green. The building has large glass doors leading to a bright foyer. To the left and the right are doors to a few offices, at the end of the foyer is a heavy steel door leading to the labs. It carries large "danger", "No Entrance" and "Authorized personnel only" signs. Visitors are clearly unwelcome hear.

Posters along the wall of the foyer show several wonderous machines that apperently have been developed by Rainbow Labs, Inc. One poster shows a group of flags.

Hiya Htz

I would love a customized flag
what are your prices?

Ideally I would like to include the Welsh flag (Free Land of Wallop SP) but I would like to personalise it somewhat. Any ideas?

A man wearing glasses and a sweater with the corporate logo of Rainbow Labs, Inc. appears and exclaims
"Welcome, welcome! How can Rainbow Labs help you? A flag, you say? Ah, I see, I see. Please follow me, I will introduce you to our flag maker, mr. Ferdinand L. Agger. Since we work on an highly individual basis, our prices are individual as well, depending on the time, effort and materials we need. Please discuss the details with mr. Agger."
He opens the door to one of the offices. Revealing colorful and messy room. Ferdinand sits in a paint-covered labcoat behind a computer screen. Occasionally he seems to paint his hair as well. Ferdinand turns around and smiles. Some of his teeth contain small stains of paint as well.
"New customers, Ferdinand," the first man says.
"Thanks, boss," Ferbinand replies, after which the boss leaves the room.
"So, you need a new flags. Well, I am sure together we can come to a design that will perfectly suit your needs."

OOC: Htz, Aurasnathis: yes, I can make flags. After this RP introduction, please contact me on PM or telegram if you want me to make a flag for your ns nation. Please include as many details as possible, that will make it easier for me. And it's your nation, not mine ;) Currently I can only make flags in the weekends, but you can contact me anytime.

The person whispers in MF ears: "Of course. We can also make cool military toys, btw. Custom made, one-of-a-kind toys." Then he shouts through the intercom: "One eagle and sword"

Yes, I just finished it:

You didn't provide many details, so I had to be a little creative. I hope you like it. I can remove the red background, if you want. Or make it entirely red. Or put some other pattern in there.

A nervous looking young woman wanders in, carrying a laptop computer. She hair is up in a ponytail, and while it was dyed red once, almost a full two inches of dark brown roots are showing. She's wearing bifocals, and from her slightly hunched shoulders and washed out appearance, it looks like she hasn't left whatever basement she lives in for a very long time.

She spots someone who looks like they work there, and walks up, extending her free hand.

"Hi, I'm Erin. I'm here about a position as a flag maker..."

Erin talks to the man with the Rainbow Labs, Inc. sweater and the glasses. "Hello, Erin, my name is Chris Eo, founder, chairman and general boss of Rainbow Labs. So, you want to apply as flagmaker?" He estimates her for a moment. "It seems like you would right fit in. Actually, yes, we could use another flagmaker, Ferdinand has been rather busy, lately. This way, please"

He directs Erin to his office, where he conitnues to talk mercilessly, without giving the girl a chance to interrupt.

"We, that is, me, would like to know a few things from you. If you could answer these questions, please?
- Do you have imaging software and do you know how to work with it? A program like PSP or photoshop is vital to this kind of work
- Do you have some time left for flag making?
- Do you have any skills in freehand drawing? While this is not prerequisit, it is sometimes convenient if you can draw a custimized image yourself.
- Are you willing to respect copyrights?
- Are you willing to respect the nationstates rules with regard to customized flags? (The image must be in JPEG (.jpg) format, 107x71 pixels in size, and no larger than 6KB. Non-flag-like or inappropriate images are not permitted. Our policy with regards to 'non-flag-like' images is: as soon as it is used as a flag, it is flag-like."

When he finally finished asking all of his questions, Erin merely raised an eyebrow and responded in kind.

"I have Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Imageready, I wouldn't have come here if I didn't have time for it, I'm a professional friggin' artist, so yes I can draw, I'll respect copyrights as long as they respect me, and I don't bloody well think my flags would fly if they didn't comply with the NS rules about what a flag should be, don't you agree?"

"I perfectly agree. A professionel artist, interesting, interesting. I hope you didn't mind I asked these questions, you never know what kind of persons turn up here.
Your answers are correct, you are through to the next round. Welcome at Rainbow Labs, Inc."
He dives in the unfathomable depths of his desk, rummages in some of the drawes and re-emerges with a plastic bag.
"Here is your welcome package. We will find you a desk at Ferdinand's office. I hope you two get along, if not, just ignore him."

Erin walks away, off to find Ferdinand's office. When she's out of earshot, she hlds up the plastic bag. "Gee, an empty plastic bag. Just what I always wanted."

Apperently she wasn't outside of everyone's hearing range, apparently.
"You got a plastic bag? Good, good. I got this incredible ballpoint pen. They're creative here, at rainbow labs. They give everyone something else."

MF: New version is uploaded. I alos reduced the compression factor so there is less jpeg noise.

Hi Erin
Very good to see you found a job, I have seen some of your work and you are an excellent artist. *Wispers in Erin's ear* "Beware of Ferdinand, I hear this Ferdinand is a shady character"

*notices tsrill behind the counter*
Hi tsrill
I am interested in a flag, a ParrrrTay theme, just use your imagination.
Shock and Awe me!

Funds are unlimited, I can afford the best.
Just call when it is ready, I shall be excited to view your creation.

After an amazingly short amount of time, and large amounts of caffiene, Erin comes back and presents a flag to Parrrrtay.

"Just a warning for future reference--do not give me this much free license, especially when I'm working on little sleep. The results aren't pretty."

Ferdinand bents over over her shoulder and starts laughing. "Maybe not pretty, but damn funny. Are you sure you put the partyhat on the head and not on the tail?"
