Visit La Rococo!

01 Mystic Planchette & Monochrome Doom and Gloom are here!
Howdy Gaians! Wednesday's here again. Pesky, isn't it? I mean, just when I'm craving a Friday or at least something close to it, Wednesday comes along like a cruel tease. "The week is over halfway done," it says. But you know what it doesn't say? "Sleep until noon and watch TV all day, Jet!" which is what I really want to hear. Lucky for us, this Wednesday in particular is actually pretty excellent. I hear there are some great finds popping into the shop, and there are tons of super adorable new treasures to get your hands on! Wanna take a peek?

-

Get Mystic Planchette!

-

Get Monochrome Doom and Gloom!

We're just scratching the surface of today's new releases, folks. Keep an eye on the shop for more surprises, and be sure to get your paws on these precious prizes before that quantity counter hits zero. Otherwise, you'll lose your chance for at least six months! That's like forever in cat months, you know. One time, Cygnus went on a short vacation and by the time he came back, I'd already forgotten he existed entirely and had hired a new sidekick. I'm not sure what the moral of that story is, but I hope I'll see you soon, Gaians!

Visit La Victoire!

01 The Cruel Summer Lock and Key Bundle has arrived!
Hey Gaians! Wouldn't you believe it? I was doing important shopkeeper-related activities-- as I always do, of course-- and just happened to stumble upon a strange box sitting on the pantry shelf! It was right next to my box of cheesy fish crackers, so I actually ignored it, closed the cabinet, and took a snack break. But once I was properly refueled, I ripped that baby open and found an astounding new bundle inside! Pretty amazing, right?

-

The Cruel Summer Lock and Key Bundle contains a simmering TEN copies of the brand new chance item Cruel Summer, along with the fabulously fiery new exclusive masterpiece: Under Lock and Key!

An excruciatingly Cruel Summer has begun. Beat the heat with some cool new digs-- or blaze the fashion trail with some trendsetting looks! Open up this fabulously fiery new chance item to score an amazing new item like Antagonistic Avatar, Archdemon Stolas, Lock and Key, Salacubus, and the adorable and ultra rare new pet: Evil Chan! Hurry on over to La Victoire to get started on your simmering new style before the steamy new Cruel Summer Lock and Key Bundle sells out completely or leaves La Victoire on July 5th at 9:59 AM PDT!

02 Now in La Victoire: New Limited Quantity Recolors!
You know, Gaians: Cygnus and I make quite the odd pair. I mean, I like to have a big messy plate of tuna gravy on toast in the mornings, and he only ever wants to eat crepes and orange juice. Those just can't share a table! They're too different. Not to mention his showering habits-- I mean, sure, I lick myself clean each and every day, but I'm pretty sure you furless folks are supposed to use just a dab of hair gel, right? Not a whole tub? Awh. Don't even get me started on then doll collection! I mean, we're so different that it's practically a joke. Sometimes I wonder if we're living in some sort of classic evening sitcom reality! That weird ethereal laughter I hear after every witty punchline I deliver probably doesn't help. Anyway, I've got a zany situation to jump headfirst into, a few heartfelt life lessons to learn, and a whole lot of great new items in the cash shop to share. Ready to dive in?

Get Toxic Inferno Champion!

Get Bloody Runcible Knife!

02 Enjoy the fresh air with a Sweet Summer Picnic!
Wahoo! Stop what you're doing, Gaians: it's lunch time! Given the nature of time zones, it might actually be a bit earlier or a bit later than you're used to chowing down on your midday meal, but in my opinion, meal times are a state of mind and not a tick on the clock. So if you're feeling a craving for some sensational summer goodies, join me here at La Victoire for a special treat!

-

The Sweet Summer Picnic has begun! No cold fried chicken or soggy sandwiches here, folks-- I only packed the best of delights! In fact, most of what you'll find in this basket isn't easily digestible. On the bright side, you're guaranteed to score a fabulously fun cash shop favorite like Stylist's Likeness, Smooth Talker, Seven Day Ardor, Celestial Gatekeeper, or Sweetie, Oni-ly You when you open up this charming basket.

04 The Brilliant Firework-o-matic has exploded onto the scene!
Hey Gaians! I walked into the kitchen this morning and was face to face with this adorable bear! Isn't it cute? I wish I knew more about it though; it was kind of a shock when I left the room and returned to find it in another part of the shop. I mean, I'm the only one here, so I don't know how it keeps moving. Do you suppose it's very light? Or perhaps... a bit magical! Here, I'll leave you two alone for a second to become acquainted. I need to go find some kind of air freshener to get rid of this acrid rotting meat smell. Where is it coming from, anyways?!

-

The Brilliant Firework-o-matic keeps dispensing neatly clipped slips of paper. Read the scrap you've been given to score an amazing new prize courtesy of this friendly guest! You might win up to one trillion gold, an amazingly rare item like Celestial Gatekeeper, Sandman's Arraignment, Astra: Inversion, or even up to 100,000 Gaia Cash! Lucky Gaians will even win the amazing Project Golden Ticket, which can be used to design your own custom item! There also a huge collection of Golden Fragment Alchemy ingredients floating around. Swing by La Victoire to get your Brilliant Firework-o-Matic before our fabulous Summer Sale ends! Good luck! (And be careful around that bear. I swear I saw it blink once.)

04 Try the Luminous Legacy for fantastical rewards galore!
Hey Gaians! Enjoying the Summer Sale? I sure am. My closet, not so much. I've been stocking on so many of this year's fabulously shiny new exclusive treasures and totally slick new styles for my personal collection that I've nearly run out of storage space. I guess I could always conveniently "misplace" a few of Cygnus' thirty or more storage bins full of collectible dolls, but... Well, I'm just not sure I have the courage to risk my delicate celestial skin for something like that. I mean, I already tossed his industrial-sized tub of hair gel, and I'm definitely facing a good two or three weeks of silent treatment for it. That actually works out in my favor-- he can't yell at me if I make him really mad! I should probably quit while I'm ahead. But, my delightful Gaians, you still have more than enough space and stamina to collect all the stunning new surprises in my new chance item, right?

-

Try your hand at the Luminous Legacy to score a fantastically recolored version of some of my best and most beloved past Limited Quantity Items! You might get your hands on the precious new Bubblegum Hop, Moira's Schoolyard Rebellion, Fallout Brigand, Extraordinary Rabbitan, Flawless Regicidio, or the glorious Electric Checkmate Academy among tons of other astounding arrivals! The luckiest Gaians will even walk away with the brand new user-designed treasures: Fruity Millennium by Fruit Topping and Chunilla by WTF Tsu! Visit La Victoire to get started. See you soon, Gaians!

05 Day 3 of our Summer Sale has begun!
Welcome to the third and penultimate day of our fabulous Summer Sale, Gaians! La Victoire has been pretty busy lately. So, mind if I make a few small requests? For instance, I'd really appreciate if you guys made sure your shoes were clean before stampeding into the shop in droves. It's not that I can't appreciate a nice layer of grime, but Cygnus here is feeling a little anxious over the whole mess. Secondly, do you think you guys could maybe at least knock on doors before opening them? I have a lot of stuff stashed away in this building, and not all of it likes to be disturbed. If you lose a limb, it's not my responsibility you know! Apart from that, go nuts! It is a party after all. A sales party: The best kind! Let's take a look at what's in the shop today.

05 Bright Firework-o-Matic is here with a Platinum Ticket!
Hi Gaians! This morning while I was strolling on my morning kittenstar jog I ran into another adorable bear. Literally. It was like he came out of nowhere. He is as adorable as the other bear who came to visit yesterday, isn't he? It must have wanted to see the other bear because after I turned away from the bear, it was sitting on the steps of La Victoire. Almost as if it was waiting for me. How weird. I still wish I knew more about it. And why does that acrid rotting meat smell keep showing up? I need to grab the air freshener again. I'll leave you two alone to become acquainted. Maybe you'll be friends. He looks perfectly harmless! I hope.

-

The Bright Firework-o-matic keeps dispensing neatly clipped slips of paper. Read the scrap you've been given to score an amazing new prize courtesy of this eccentric guest! You might win up to one trillion gold, an amazingly rare item like Celestial Gatekeeper, Sandman's Arraignment, Pick your Nose, or even up to 100,000 Gaia Cash! One lucky Gaian will even win the amazing Project Platinum Ticket, which can be used to design your own custom SDplus doll with two doll poses and one accessory pose! . If by some miracle, none of the 199 prize slips reveal the Ticket, there will be a raffle to decide the winner! There also a huge collection of Golden Fragment Alchemy ingredients floating around. Swing by La Victoire to get your Bright Firework-o-Matic before 12:00PM PDT July 9th 2015 or it sells out! ! Good luck! (And be careful around that bear. I swear I saw it blink once.)

07 Loyal's Bazaar Update: Amazing new Limited Quantity Finds!
Ah, you know what the say, non? "With friends like this, who needs enemies?" I believe that's the saying anyhow. Jet and Cygnus maintain a rather professional relationship with myself. Not rivals, per se, but I don't often find myself on the invite list to their little soirées. The point I'm getting at, Gaians, is that I'd like to be the bigger man here-- not that either of them are men in the traditional, non-celestial bundles of hydrogen gas manner of speaking, of course-- and extend a bit of friendly competition in their direction. Such lovely items my friends have! Darling, charming collections indeed. But have they these amazing masterpieces? Hmmm?

-

Behold, ladies and gentlemen: The astounding Forest in Moonlight and Summer Night Alpachica have arrived to Loyal's Bazaar! Surely this is a feat unmatchable by those without a bit of stylishly flashy magic at their disposal. I cast my white glove to the ground! Metaphorically, of course. I'd rather not shock you with the appearance (or lack thereof) of my hand. Ah, but the duel has begun! Hurry over to Loyal's Bazaar to retrieve these dashing items for yourself before they sell out completely, my friends. We'll see what those discourteous fiends at La Victoire say in response to this challenge. À tout à l'heure!

07 Tear open a Box of Bundles for, well, you guessed it!
Hey Gaians! Ready for a sweet deal? I scored so much awesome stuff over the last few months that I've completely run out of space to store it all! You know what that means right? List it on gBay!! Well, I did that, but nothing sold. Plus the shipping costs were totally whack! Lance must be working overtime or something, because it ended up being a total ripoff. Plan B is just as great though: Garage Sale!! Yeah! Wahoo! Anyways, here's the first collection of stuff I'm dusting off and revealing today:

-

Tear open a Box of Bundles to score one of my all-time favorites bundles from cash shop sales and awesome chance items of the past. You get a great second try at winning amazing bundles like the Dollmaker Bundle, Winter Madrigal for Her, Seraphic Bundle, Blessed Bundle Cursed Bundle, or even the legendary Win Gaia Bundle!There are also some great non-bundled brand new exclusives in the mix, like the charming [Animal] Sweet Sleepy Baby, Acolyte's Last Blessing, and Ultimate Faithful Rookie!

07 The seal is weakening on this month's Advance Chance!
A greetings, Gaians! Welcome! Hello! See how nonthreatening I can be? It's truly remarkable, yes? I'd like to think that's why I wasn't selected among the pool of my peers to head any secret organizations or hidden government conspiracies. Not that those exist, of course! Those aren't a thing. Heh. On a completely unrelated note, if at any point you suspect that the GRS is merely a front for an underground coup d'etat in the works, harvesting your meager tax dollars to fund an unsanctioned operation, you'd be crazy. Why would the GRS want to establish a monarchy anyhow? Who would be the king? Me? Bibbles? Oh Gaians, you're just so wild sometimes. As a token of our friendship and mutual trust (not a distraction) I'd love to point you in the direction of my Advance Chance once more, as it appears to be wiggling and hopping like mad!

-

What will the next CI be? Nobody knows, but you’ll get the first crack at it with July's Advance Chance. On the day of the next CI release, you’ll be able to open your bundle and start reaping the rewards of your CIs hours before they’re released to the general public, so you can start listing items on the Marketplace when hardly anyone has their hands on them yet. This month's Advance Chance includes a rare chance to receive a bundle filled with only enhanced CIs! (10 for normal, 25 for the 25 pack)

Be sure to visit my associates at La Victoire if you'd like to get a head start on July's CI. Best of luck, my little court jesters.

07 The July 2015 Chance Pass is now available!
The game is afoot, Gaians! And if you're anything like me, you enjoy a little mystery in your life. The suspense! The anticipation! The whodunit! Well, okay -- that last one isn't really relevant to what I'm talking about today, but still. Mysteries are fabulous! There's no fun in revealing your hand early, after all. Besides, you know the saying: good things come to those who wait. And that's never been truer than it is today, with the introduction of a fabulous new mystery box!

-

The July 2015 Chance Pass may seem empty now, but as June trundles along you'll reap more and more rewards from it! This fantastic Chance Pass comes loaded with a variety of different boxes, all of them mysteriously sealed. Each Sealed Box contains a five pack of a Chance Item that will be released in July -- this includes our regular CI, our mini CIs, and even our animated CIs! When the CI is released, your box will unseal itself and the mystery will be revealed to you! The Chance Pass also includes the enigmatic July 2015 Golden Sealed Box, a collection of exclusive recolors that opens the last day of July! This incredible deal will be in the shop until July 15th, 9:59 AM PDT. We hope to see you in the shop soon!

08 Now in La Victoire: Awesome new Limited Recolors!
Watch out Gaians! My fur is starting to stand on end and I've been absentmindedly shredding curtains all morning. Property damage aside, I have a feeling something vaguely eerie is on the horizon! Could it be ghosts? Monsters? Mystical forces beyond our control? That weird red light I can never catch? It could be anything! I'm so nervous, Gaians! Let's try to distract ourselves from the looming terror ahead by checking out what's new and shiny in the shop. I mean, it definitely can't hurt the situation, right?

Get Jack's Cool Attitude!

Get Sparkling Suika Swimwear!

08 Draw a card from Joker's Wild to reveal your fortune!
It's been really fun, Gaians, but I'm out of here. Yup: Becky's going on vacation! The first one I've been on in.. well, I think this is my first vacation ever! It'll be so nice! The sunlight, the crowded beachside, and the dedicated security. Ahhh, the beach. I know I live and work on a resort island, but Gold Mountain just feels a little too unprotected, y'know? Anyways, since I'm kicking back somewhere happy and unsinister for a few weeks, I guess I don't need these cards. Let me explain: I found these weird cards a while back, and well, they do have some great prizes to offer. But you see, there's something not quite right about 'em.

-

They were in a box. It's odd because the box didn't look very strange at all. It could have had anything inside it, yet I found these cards. Is that weird? I don't even know anymore! They hurt my eyes to look at and the casino hasn't been the same since the box was opened. Things are changed. I think maybe I'm changed... Oh, there I go rambling to myself again. I'd better get going! Um, Well Gaians, just be careful with this deck, okay? It's a little hard to part with it for some reason, but I'm sure I'll feel better once it's out of my hands. In fact, I'm passing them off to Jet and Cygnus as we speak. Enjoy! And uh... don't listen to the Joker. You'll see what I mean.

Check out Joker's Wild!

08 Alchemy Update: New Formulas in The Bifrost!
Are you here again? Don't you have anything better to do than pester me for new formulas? What will it take to get all of you half-rate amateur alchemist types out of my hair for a while? I don't understand why you would choose to get in my way when you could just as easily be entertaining Nicolae. Look at him over there, he's been chuckling at that slightly crooked section of the floor for nearly 20 minutes now. He clearly needs some kind of stimulation.

-

Here, look at these and then please be off. I need peace and quiet to work on my research, so please take your various gadgets and trinkets with you. You can pick up your own formulas by grabbing them off the shelf over there. The shelf labeled "For Pests". Er, not that one. That's Nicolae's stuff. Oh, no, not that one either; that's bug repellant. The one right under it. Same section, yes. There we go. Now please find something else to do for a while.

09 Club Verge Update: Royal A in Spades
Ah, right. Hello? H-hello in there? You can all hear me, yes? I'm going to operate on the assumption that you can in fact hear me, but if I'm even the slightest bit in the wrong, do bark at your screen accordingly. I'm sure I'll receive the message in some way or another. Now if you'll excuse the quite sudden interruption of your daily primping and posting routine, please allow me to introduce a special arrival. And myself as well, for those of you not yet acquainted, of course. I am P.U.G., the humble shopkeeper and your dedicated host to all the wonders contained within the exclusive Club Verge. Do see what we've just gotten in:

-

If you should like to partake in the fabulous fashions within this marvelous addition, simply make your way over to Club Verge! That is assuming you have the proper credentials to enter, of course. Now if you'll excuse me, I've just gotten word that the mailman is approaching and I simply don't trust those folk to operate without supervision. They are just too mysterious. Where do they come from? What do they do? Why do I want to bark at them? Oh, these are the questions that plague a pug, my friends. I do hope to see you at Club Verge shortly. Toodle-oo!

Visit Club Verge!

09 Grab hold of the Infinity Crystal for a sweet power up!
Oh man, Gaians. Have you been watching the news? There's crime afoot in this shopping district! Crime, indeed! The extra criminal kind with thievery, embezzlement, and even some serious recklessness! (And no, not all of those are from Nicolae.) Point is, Leon can't handle all of these offenders. If only we had some kind of masked vigilante with powers beyond human limitations, right? If only some brave soul would fall into a vat of toxic waste or get bitten by a radioactive cockroach. Oh Gaians, wouldn't it be just fabulous if I accidentally dropped this strange, glowing stone right in front of you? Wouldn't you want to touch it and perhaps save the day?

-

The Infinity Crystal was shipped to me in a big box that said "Do Not Touch." I may not be a scientist or anything, but I'm prettttty sure "Do Not Touch" is a code phrase for "Free Superpowers." It sure works that way in movies, everyone. I'm just going to pretend I didn't see anything and go ahead and put these up on a shelf. If you happen to purchase one, you might find yourself newly gifted with some amazing animated goodies like the brand new Astra: Billowing Royal Cape, Astra: Billowing Sapphire Cape, Astra: Billowing White Cape, Astra: Billowing Rose Cape, or Astra: Billowing Pine Cape! There are also tons of my favorite animated favorites up for grabs! Even better, there are some of those ultra-rare Golden Fragments lurking about, along with a ton of GoFusion Charms. Enjoy!

If you are reading this, it means you found the note I taped to the door of La Victoire. Great! As you can see, Cygnus and I aren't here.

Anyways, you can peek through the windows of the shop to see all the great new arrivals on display. Feel free to walk in and help yourself purchase 'em-- just be sure to give yourself the correct change from the register as well. See you at the beach!

10 'Tis a Mid-Summer Night's Dream indeed!
Why are you wearing that outfit, Jet? Don't tell me it's another--

ALAS, dear friend! 'tis a wondrous day indeed for shopkeepers the like of us. For today we find ourselves blessed, charmed, bedazzled, and in awe of a myriad of splendid new arrivals. A new chance item has been bestowed upon us by Fate herself, and I shall seek to pursue the treasures within with the aid of a few of my most beloved Gaians.

You always get so weird when these old timey chance items show up. How do you know that you like these items if you haven't even opened the box yet? All you're doing is using it as a stage anyways.

Oh Cygnus, thou knowest not! Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste--

I'm taking my lunch break.

-

Cygnus just doesn't understand how awesome the Mid-Summer Night's Dream is! This amazing new chance item is stuffed full of whimsy and trickery galore in the form of some fresh new items like the astounding Subliminal Spooky Shounen, A Vintage Journey Rhythmic Woodland Prose, Hope Like Rose, and the brand new user-designed masterpiece: Sandman's Crest by Koda Crest! Hurry on over to La Victoire to try your luck-- but uh, leave any love potions you may be carrying at home this time around, okay?

10 Club Verge Update: Dark Princess Diamandis!
Hi ho, delightful Verge--- Ah! Woof, I say! Why, excuse me Gaians. This information is a tad secret, meant only for the ears of Club Verge members. Do look away, won't you? That is, of course, assuming you don't wish to be privy to the glorious insider deals going on in Club Verge. Current members and those of you seeking to gain entrance, look on:

-

Dark Princess Diamandis has arrived to Club Verge. Why, I tired and toiled for hours on end emailing back and forth with my various tailors and stylists perfecting this masterpiece of a rugged new collectible. Do take a moment to drop by Club Verge and pick one up for yourself, my exquisite friends!

10 Evolving Item Report: Me Day & Zesty Forum Regular!
Eek, you're here! Well Sciencers, don't think you've caught me slacking off. Why, I was doing some very important experimenting in here today. It may appear as though I've taken a spa trip and the interns painting my nails and placing delicately sliced cucumber bits on my eyelids, but what you don't know is they are highly trained scientific professionals. This is... science! The science of beauty, in fact. Why, everyone knows that's where the real innovations are to be had. So as a matter of scientific advancement and reliability, naturally we have to confirm whether or not these age old techniques of luxury actually improve things like skin pliability and complexion. This is purely for research purposes, my delightful Scienteers. Between you and me, I hate this frilly nonsense, why-- oh yes. You can schedule the hot rock massage for 7 pm, thanks-- why I simply can't stand this excessive preening. But for the sake of science, I persist. On that note, I do happen to have some fantastic developments to share with you all in regards to our ongoing specimens. Let's observe:

-

Me Day:

The day of pampering has just begun! The nail station looks pretty inviting, hmmm... should I go with the ever-so-classic jet black nails, or something more vibrant and go all rainbows? Sparkles? Glitter? Acrylics? I'll just have try them all!

Zesty Forum Regular (designed by user Lucifleur!)

Feeling more lost than ever before, GaiaGuy found himself running out of options. Beginning to grow desperate, he began to notice the presence of a friendly looking rabbit in a little chapeau. Ever-questing for companionship, GaiaGuy introduced himself to the bunny. The bunny remained immobile and oblivious until GaiaGuy gently tapped the rabbit’s shoulder to get his attention. The rabbit, moving faster than one would ever expect a rabbit to move, began yelling obscenities and drew a knife and a pistol, which he began brandishing about crazily. Frightened, GaiaGuy fled as fast as he could and collided with a dark gentleman in a navy suit. Repeating his apologies and “terribly sorry”s, it seemed to have no effect on the gentleman, for he immediately threatened to expose GaiaGuy and all of his secrets to the GD. Confused, cornered and left entirely without options, GaiaGuy did what any self-respecting virtual persona would do: ignored the gentleman and walked away calmly. As he was leaving, he heard the faint voice shout “ha, peace! ” before disappearing completely.

If you wanna see these fascinating experiments up close, check them out at La Victoire. I’ll be here, postulating and hypothesizing in the meantime. Certainly not getting a pedicure for my own pleasure, naturally. Until next time, Sciencers!

12 Check out the July's Limited Edition Collector's Pass!
Hey guys. Jet begged me to introduce another creation of mine...soo I have returned with with another supply of limited edition collector's passes for July. It's efficient, a sound investment, and of little cosmic consequence. All the things I like in a new bargain. Look:

-

Get yourself a July's Limited Edition Collector's Pass to pre-order the next twelve Limited Quantity Items. You see, those tend to sell out pretty quickly and we don't often have that many in stock. If you buy yours now, you'll be cutting in line. You can list it on the marketplace faster than the folks who are waiting for the store to update, too. The best part is that there's a special bonus exclusive included with this Pass that won't be available anywhere else. So, there you go. It's a good deal. Enjoy. I'm not much of a sales guy, so, uh.. Jet?

Great job, Cygnus! You whipped up a masterpiece, I'd say. Just remember to come on down to La Victoire to nab yours soon, Gaians! This'll be available for an extremely limited time only. See you at the shop!

12 Naughty Critters Have Invaded La Victoire! Help!
Aaack! Gaians! I woke up from my super serious and super important kitten star nap to find all of these critters running around the shop! I have no clue how they got in. My weekly game of Dungeons and Landsharks with some of the other animals isn't until next week so that can't be the reason why. Cygnus wouldn't have let them in. Hmm. Can you help catch these Naughty Critters? Wait! No! Not my stash of candy!! Come back!

-

Don't alarmed at how adorable these Naughty Critters are when you catch them. Each bundle contains recolors from the not so distant past and an exclusive recolor such as Innocent Hind of Avalon, Merri Going Above, Queen Rabbitan, or Kama's Suspicion!

So will you help a kitten star out with getting these Naughty Critters out of La Victoire? Hurry. I'm not sure how long they will stick around before they get into more critter shenanigans someplace els- OH MY GOSH NOT MY PIZZA. Please!! Anything but the pizza! Wait!!!

Heh.

Good evening Gaians! Man, has today been crazy or what? Now that I was able to save my pizza from being eaten without my permission I can sit back, relax, and watch Cygnus play on his iBanana. What are you playing Cygnus?

Huh. Is that a critter I hear eating your ice cream?

-

Good morning Gaians! Up and at 'em! Don't you know the weekend has already ended? No more of this lounging about in a sugary snack and soda-fueled haze of napping and gaming! No more adventuring! No more fun! Okay, okay, maybe that's sort of an overstatement. I just get a little carried away when Monday hits. I mean, I had to set an alarm today and everything! Ugh! Now that this day is off to a productive and businesslike start, let's evaluate the current prospects of La Victoire, associates:

-

Get Ragnarok U!

-

Get Fausto's True Revival!

Hermes of the Red Moon!

I've been looking into your strange mood this morning, Jet. I'm diagnosing you with what Earth's inhabitants call "a case of the Mondays."

Hmph!

To everyone else, please stop by La Victoire and help me cheer up this oddly grumpy kitten star before he becomes more insufferable than usual. See you soon, Gaians.

13 Loyal's Bazaar Update: Sassy Little Chincha
Ladies, Gentlemen, and beings of every sort and plane of existence: I welcome you to a most majestic display. You see, nary a day goes by when I do not think it a perfect notion to add a brand new work of artistic delight into the Bazaar. Despite my rather ambitious intentions, it's quite difficult to find a new wonder on demand! Frankly, it quite amazes me that Jet and Cygnus manage to do it so often. I have many suspicions about the goings-on of La Victoire, but let's not dwell on that today. You see, now is a time of celebration! Direct your gaze below:

-

C'est magnifique, non? The elegant Sassy Little Chinca is waiting in my beloved Bazaar for those of you daring enough to venture in and snatch it. I only have a limited supply of this precious treasure, but I daresay it should be enough to satisfy the cravings of my loyal customers (pun completely intended, of course.)

Do stop by and give the shop a once-over when you get a moment.

14 Bake a Cake for a chance at items, gold, Gcash, or a ticket!
Man, oh, man, oh man! I celebrated Taco Tuesdays with shrimp tacos! Cygnus insisted for no garlic sauce to be near my plate, but my shrimp tacos were tasty nonetheless.

It's called Taco Tuesday.

Tuesday. Tuesdays. Meh. It's all the same! ANYWAY. Before I was interrupted, in return for not having garlic sauce on my shrimp tacos I asked Cygnus to bake me a cake. Cake goes good with any meal! Right?

You threatened to blackmail me with giving Rina pictures for her Dropplr.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with a little motivation! Cygnus whipped me up a super delicious chocolate cake. The cake was sooo good it gave me a wonderful idea for something brand new on the shelves of La Victoire. Why leave the baking to only Cyngus when everyone can try! Do you want to Bake a Cake? Here's your chance:

16 Community Update: Behind the Scenes Interview!
Hello all and welcome back to Gaia 9 Action News' most popular segement: The Community Update! I'm your ever-intrepid reporter, Cindy Donovinh. Now for July 16th's... wait... July 16th? Is it not June still? Can someone please bring me an accurate calendar? Excuse me for a moment, viewers...

[Gaia 9 Action News is experiencing some technical difficulties. Please stand by.]


 * ahem* Thanks for staying with us, Gaians. I have some shocking news to report! Not long ago, I was investigating some mysterious happenings across Gaia. My groundbreaking research led me from one side of the land to the other, my camera crew and I dodging danger at every turn. We ended up in a foreboding forest-- although it seemed somewhat familiar... as though I'd been there as a child, or in another life. Ah, but I digress. Here's the real scoop: We spotted a massive nightmarish behemoth of a beast lurking in the woods! I directed our cameras at it for an exclusive peek and what we found will shock you! Or, well, it would have shocked you, had our film not been lost in the chaos that followed. Or was it calm? See, here's the thing: I can't remember a bit! Why, I'd almost thought the whole incident was a dream until my crew and I compared notes. It seems as though we've been in a sort of daze for the last few weeks. More information on this breaking story will be revealed as the details continue to resurface! Until then, let's take a look at the latest Avatar Arena Winners:

-

The Original Avatar Arena was rocked when the talented MiniMeow took the stage! The stunning entry entitled "A Fairy's Treasure" took the crowd by storm and earned the well-deserved title of First Place. Astounding!

Not to be outdone, Jiyuu Yuuki won it big in the Cosplay Avatar Arena with an inspired entry entitled "LoZ: TP - Link"! Accurate and awesome, this fabulous creation really stole the show!

Congratulations to all of our astounding winners! If you happen to spot these talented folk around the forums, be sure to give them a quick commendation for their thrilling victory. To take a look at the winners of yesterday or yesteryear alike, check out the Cosplay Avatar Arena Winners Page and the Original Avatar Arena Winners Page!

This just in, Gaians: In an exciting turn of events, one of Gaia Online's official staff members has stepped forward to give us an exclusive behind the scenes interview! You may recognize this familiar face as one of Gaia's most friendly team members. Please welcome the charming Arlette Mori!

Welcome Arlette Mori! It's great to have you here with us today. Many of the Gaians reading this will already have an idea of who you are and what you do for Gaia, but for the curious and the newcomers, please tell us a little about yourself. How long have you been a Gaian? Where could we have found you spending time before you became a staff member, and doing what?
 * Um. A very long time! Really~ I joined Gaia September 2004. That's a long time, right? You would have found me in the GCD making banners for the daily item update discussion threads, and even maintaining said threads occasionally. I was a very active user in the forum. OH and I secretly fangirled over Rance Clear. It was love at first sight.

A true Gaian through and through. Astounding! What made you decide to work for Gaia? Where would we see your handiwork around the site? Our viewers are dying to know!
 * It's always been a dream of mine to work for Gaia. I love the website and the community so much, and has been part of my life for over a decade. So when the opportunity came, I immediately jumped in. It was the best decision ever. My handiwork is everywhere. I design announcement graphics, create promotional images for items seen around the website & in the shops, and I assist with designing occasional tier landing pages. I also write announcements, and help with scheduling & facilitating releases in the cash shops. So yeah. Everywhere.

Spill it! Can you share any fun facts or secrets about yourself or Gaia?
 * Fun Fact: I like hotdogs, my hair is purple IRL, I'm a mom (surprise!), SquareMom is best Mom, and I'm obsessed with K-pop. FYI: BIGBANG and AOA slay me every time. As for secrets.... So like one time I was like super excited about one my new favorite OTPs and so like I wrote a fanfic and like it was the best thing ever. Waaah! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Our team has been hearing a lot of rumors about a possible Summer Event in the works... But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Hm? On a tangential note, we'd love to know which classic Gaia Online event you've most enjoyed!
 * Halloween 2004 holds a very special place in my heart because it was my very first Halloween event, and it was the event that kept me wanting more. I love our universe with our characters. I'm looking forward to the summer event. It's going to be very fun!

Is there anything you want to say to all the Gaians out there?
 * Don't be afraid to post in the forums and get yourself out there. What makes Gaia so wonderful, in my personal opinion, is our diverse & vocal community. Gaia is all about having fun and expressing yourself in many ways from artwork you create to avatars you design. Be yourself and have fun.

If you enjoyed this special interview with one of Gaia's most talented staff members, let us know! Until next week, Gaians: This is Cindy Donovinh, your dedicated reporter, signing out. Please don't forget to visit the Community Update Thread to vote in our poll and suggest some aspects of Gaia to feature in an upcoming Community Update! Your post might be randomly selected to win our weekly Shout Out contest, and you will get the chance to have a one sentence quote included in a future Community Update! Use it to plug a thread, organization, or just to say hi!

17 Check out these great discounts at La Victoire!
Hiya Gaians! It seems like yesterday I began my summer cleaning. Well wouldn't you know it Cygnus is insisting I need to clean my napping area again! The reason? Because it's too messy! It isn't messy I say! Everything is placed perfectly where I want it. I would like to think my room is a work of art. Instead of cleaning my room I thought of something even better! I can distract Cygnus with slashing prices on more of my favorite chance items. He'll never know! Heh heh heh! Take a look at what I've discounted:

-

Luminous Legacy bundles are discounted for a limited time only!

-

Box of Bundles bundles are discounted for a limited time only!

Cygnus will be completely distracted with these bargains! If he asks you where I'm at tell him I went to buy cleaning supplies. Wink. Wink. See you guys at La Victoire soon!

17 EI Report: Me Day and the Finale of Zesty Forum Regular!
Greetings and salutations, my beloved Sciencers! Did you know that today is Friday? Moreso, did you know that science has proven that Friday is by far the least productive day for sciencing and the day of the week most prone to major catastrophes? That's why Fridays at the EI Labs are always so fabulously casual. We know our energy-drained interns and befuddled old tinkerers are too distracted by the prospect of roller skating, disco dance parties, and playing 8-bit fiddlydoos on their televisions... Or whatever the kids are into these days. (Seriously, what are the kids into these days? Marbles? Stained glass lamps? Squids? I really can't keep up.) These little daydreams pose a big threat to the safety and security of the EI Labs! Not for the scientists of course, since we've proven they can live just fine while missing several vital organs, but for our delicate experiments. That's why this Friday at the EI Labs has been declared "Pretend to Work Day!" Oh, don't you hear that charming hustle and bustle of dozens of beakers being pointlessly clinked together? The sweet sounds of bubbling acids being churned together with complementary amounts of bubbling bases, rendering them completely useless? If you listen quite closely, you can almost detect the sigh of our head development director reading superhero comic books under his desk. Superb! Today, we can safely unveil our latest developments with the utmost confidence that no one will make a horrific mistake and doom our work forever. Let's observe, shall we?

Zesty Forum Regular (designed by user Lucifleur!)

Disheartened, disappointed and disenchanted, GaiaGuy feared that all that was left for him to do was to turn back and seek solace elsewhere. As he was making his slow ascent out of the GD, he came across a rather interesting cohort. Sporting leather lettermans and tiny skirts, GaiaGuy was nearly convinced that these charming ladies were cheerleaders until he noticed the blood dripping off their fingertips. Timid, yet ever-curious, GaiaGuy approached the ladies and asked them why they had blood on their hands. One of the girls, with eyes round as moons and a smile that would make Lucifer blush, stepped forward, looking him dead in the eye and said, “Those would be the hearts we just ate.” As it was dawning on GaiaGuy that she was serious he saw a figure emerge from behind the girls. Wearing black scrubs from head to toe, GaiaGuy followed the trail of blood behind the figure to its hands. In one, human intestines, and in the other, a bloody heart, with a healthy bite ripped out of it. Mustering up the courage to make eye contact with the hands’ owner he looked up to see a pair of eyes staring back at him; a grin cracking underneath. Unable to speak, GaiaGuy took a step back, and found himself being unable to move. As the group of girls slowly surrounded him, he heard the grin sing the words, “Welcome to the GD!” as he fell to the ground and the world slowly went black for good, his final thoughts being, “I should have gone to the Chatterbox.”

THE END

Me Day

What makeover isn't complete without a new hair style! Should I get my hair curled, or have my hair slicked back? Ooh! They even perform an cleansing, exfoliating, and beard trimming service complete with beard oil! Neat.

Well Scienteers, that's all for this week! If you'd like to examine these fabulous test subjects a bit more closely, just visit La Victoire, where our associates Jet and Cygnus have really embraced our recommended Friday procedures and are dutifully goofing off. I'll be back next week with further reports. Until then, happy sciencing!

18 Loyal's Bazaar Update: Gentle Ramification!
Ladies, Gentlemen, and beings of every sort and plane of existence: I welcome you to a most majestic display. You see, nary a day goes by when I do not think it a perfect notion to add a brand new work of artistic delight into the Bazaar. Despite my rather ambitious intentions, it's quite difficult to find a new wonder on demand! Frankly, it quite amazes me that Jet and Cygnus manage to do it so often. I have many suspicions about the goings-on of La Victoire, but let's not dwell on that today. You see, now is a time of celebration! Direct your gaze below:

-

C'est magnifique, non? The elegant Gentle Ramification and [Animal] Gentle Ramification are waiting in my beloved Bazaar for those of you daring enough to venture in and snatch it. I only have a limited supply of these precious treasures, but I daresay it should be enough to satisfy the cravings of my loyal customers (pun completely intended, of course.)

Do stop by and give the shop a once-over when you get a moment. Goodbye for now.

18 Where in time will you end up in The Time Traveler Bundle?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to just go to any time period known to mankind? There are so many different time periods I'd love to visit for inspiration during one of my Dungeons and Landsharks run. Well, luckily Cygnus here was able to use some of his celestial magic to whip up something special for La Victoire without too much celestial consequence. Take a look at The Time Traveler Bundle:

-

The Time Traveler Bundle will take you to a different period in time! Opening one of these bundles will randomly give you a different point in time with items that match the era! Included in these bundles are both recolors from the not so distant past and exclusive items such as Jurassic March, Brave Knight Vanguard, Queen Planchette, CMYK Extraterrestrial Aesthetic, or Guarded Lock and Key!

What are you waiting for? Let's time travel together! Make sure to pick up The Time Traveler Bundle before it travels out of La Victoire!

Hey Gaians! Now, I don't want to be a cliche, but I have to say: I hate Mondays. I know, I know: a cat who hates Mondays and absolutely loves lasagna... but what can I say? Lasagna is the delicious layered cake of pastas. If anything, you could slap some candles on a nice big dish of lasagna and make your party twenty times better! Anyways, the fact of the matter is that I really hate Mondays. I know you guys probably do too, so I did my best to make the transition from weekend to grueling soul-wrenching toil as super prize-packed as possible! Check out what you can find in La Victoire:

Hey there adventurers! Ready to set out on a new crusade? I've got the bags all packed: food, snacks, desserts, rope, bandages, and most importantly, a final stash of food. Pretty prepared of me, yeah? I'm heading off on a new journey and I don't want to forget any of the important stuff. Y'see, I found this weird compass all locked up in a trunk in La Victoire's attic. It's not pointing North, so where do you think it leads?

-

If I had to guess, I'd wager that the Explorer's Compass is directing us to some absolutely fab finds that have been stashed away in some forgotten treasure trove of wonders. I bet we'll even discover some incredible goodies like the amazing Tactician of Infinity, Dark Lady of the Mist, Imaginary Monster Bundle, Astra: Inversion, or tons of other sensational secrets.

21 Limited Quantity Item: Azure Graveyard Crasher!
Evenin' Gaians! I've got a great new exclusive goodie in the shop today. Wanna see it? Well ya can't. It's mine. That's why I've been hiding it all day. In fact, I'm never showing it to you. Never ever. Think of this as punishment for that stuff you've been redropping about me on Dropplr! I bet you didn't think I would check #Jet, right? Well that's where you're wrong! Of course I look myself up. I gotta maintain a good public image if I wanna take over the world someday. So until your opinions on my "gaudy accessories and questionable hygiene" change for the better, I'm not letting you take even a peek at this awesome new item. So there!

-

Azure Graveyard Crasher is what's new. Jet might not want to show it to you, but I honestly don't care. What's Dropplr in the grand scheme of things? The universe is gonna end in a few hundred billion years and no one will even check #Cygnus or all the... well, actually somewhat flattering things posted under it. Anyways, enjoy. This Limited Quantity find will be in La Victoire until July 25th at 9:59 AM PDT.

22 Take a Summer Swim with these darling new digs!
Ready for some fun in the sun, Gaians? WRONG! I know there's no way you guys are all ready to hit the beach in your summer finest because I know for a fact that you're all decked out in last season's gaudy swim attire. That's so incredibly un-chic of you, Gaians. I mean, I don't even know for sure if you've washed your cute trunks and teeny bikinis since last year. Can you confirm for me that you washed them? I want a receipt from your local dry cleaner stat!

Alternatively, you can use the new Summer Swim chance item to trash that tired old look in favor of some brand new swimwear surprises straight from your favorite designer.... me! Just because I don't make a habit of wearing swim suits doesn't mean I don't love the things-- I just love my fur a little bit more. But even I gotta say that these adorable new looks are completely and ridiculously fabtastic. Let me pick out your perfect style! I might even give you a full makeover while I'm at it. You might score some fabulous new steals like the charming Tropical Modern Swimwear, [Animal] Astra: Beach Time, Lovely Beach Spot, Cute Retro Swimwear, Cool Sun-bleached Surfer Hair, Light Slick Back Hair, or tons of other amazing arrivals.

Hi everyone! Peyo here. Y'know, Peyo the Wing Scout! Me an' the other kids are still at Camp Nimbus. Well... sorta. The Camp is somewhere else in the woods than where we are. Our camp counselor Kanoko went missing and if we don't find her, she's gonna be in big trouble. She might even lose her cool summer job taking care of us! Lucky for us, Piyo's real strong now. Really really strong! The strongest duck who ever lived! And he's smart, too. Not only that, but Piyo's got a lot of cute and tough friends who can help us look for Kanoko. So if you wanna tag along, all you gotta do is team up with one of our new Kin friends and join the search party. Let's go!

22 Lake Kindred treasures have arrived at La Victoire!
You won't believe it, Gaians! Lance just stopped by and dropped off a new shipment of items from.... well, you'll never guess where. I'll give you a hint: It's from Camp Nimbus! Oh.. wait.. I didn't mean to blurt it out like that! Oops! Anyways, those precious little scamps down by Lake Kindred have sent me a huge care package full of nifty little knick knacks and doodads they've whipped up. Now, mayyyybe this box was meant to go to Ruby or someone who actually has a legal bond with these kiddies, but since the address was all smudged by sticky child-fingers, I think I get first dibs. Lance might have said "Hang onto this until I figure out where it goes" but I think the subtext there was "Jet, you can keep this awesome box of treasures as a special gift from me." and I think there was some even further layered subtext that was whispering "Jet, I think you're really cool and I would definitely let you ride on my shoulder during mail deliveries if corporate would allow it" but let's not get carried away. Anyways, check out what's new:

-

With the new [Animal] Camping, Camping, [Animal] Lake Side, and Lake Side, you'll be whisked away to a summer wonderland of fun outdoor adventure. Just nab these nifty background items to bring any ensemble into a whole new realm of fun and frolicking. Remember to bring some bug spray, too!

Just for my Paws pals, I've stocked up on special event furs to celebrate the designs of our darling new Kin companions! Check out the adorable [Animal] Noctus Fur, [Animal] Cabochomp Fur, [Animal] Aerling Fur, [Animal] Ursadew Fur, or the cutetastic [Animal] Leafkit Fur to steal the style of your favorite Kin!

-

Most thrillingly, I've received an extra special box containing the egg to a brand new La Victoire exclusive Kin! The mighty Cabochomp will only be available for the duration of the event-- after that, this awesome Kin will vanish from La Victoire for good!

Once you've partnered up with Cabochomp, you can fight together to level up and unlock amazingly gorgeous items and special exclusive new poses to make your fabulous fashions shine! Hurry over to La Victoire to get started. See you soon!

22 Crack open the Mystery Kindred Egg for a sweet surprise!
Woah! Yet another strange arrival from the shores of Lake Kindred. What could it be? Cygnus, I'm going to have to investigate. Prepare the hazmat suit immediately!

Prepare it yourself, chicken.

Excuse me? I am on the exact opposite end of the food chain as a chicken. Do you know what predators target Kitten Stars? None! Not a one! If we ever die, it's due to overeating or horrible clumsiness. Chickens are a snack! A snack! I'm no chicken, pal.

I get that you're talking right now, but all I'm hearing is "cluck cluck cluck." How odd. Here, if you won't crack this egg open, I wi--

GIMME THAT!

Ha! Mystery solved. Inside the Mystery Kindred Egg there are tons of awesome new prizes. You might win an astounding cash shop favorite like the awesome [Animal] Astra: Shoujo Glow, Tactician of Infinity, Astra: Halo of Light, or the Imaginary Monster Bundle! It also includes an extra special opportunity to collect Kin eggs-- once you have these in your inventory, you'll be able to partner up with new Kin in battle! You could win any of the Kin currently available in Lake Kindred, including the powerful Stagony! Best of all, a few lucky Gaians might even walk away with the incredible Kindred Opal Ticket which can be exchanged for the opportunity to design your own custom Kin! Check it out to try your luck.

Those precious little scamps down by Lake Kindred surely love me! They sent another huge care package full of nifty little knick knacks and doodads they've whipped up. Kids these days are truly a delight. First we'll check out what's new and then I'll give a quick reminder of the goodies we added yesterday!

24 Grab hold of the Pure Heat for some steamy new styles!
Order up! Let's give it a taste, shall we? Wow. Fantastic. Amazing. This is truly incredible. An incredible failure. THIS dish is so RAW that if it were a fish, it would still be flopping around in Bass'ken!! I would cast a line and oops, it would JUMP directly into my boat. Alright, alright. Let me make this perfectly clear since you don't seem to understand my point: What came first, hm? Was it the chicken or the egg? ...TRICK QUESTION. It doesn't matter, because you couldn't cook either one!! This is an OUTRAGE! I refuse to eat these SOGGY ice bricks, no matter how you spice them. This freezing food is a DISGRACE. I'm putting a new chance item into La Victoire, and you are going to use it to study up on what real HEAT is before you ever set a dish in front of me again. LOOK:

-

The Pure Heat is a perfect display of all things hot and spicy. You can open it up to get a glimpse at the swelteringly stylish new sets like Demure Angelic Layla, [Animal] Heavenly Vitamin, Divinity Adept, or even the absolutely delicious Sweet Chan. See? Do you SEE? Heat isn't always about darkness or toastiness. You can flame-broil that hunk of vaguely edible matter for as long as you want, but you'll never make it hot enough unless you understand what it's like to be exposed to true blazing glory. NOW GET IT TOGETHER. Walk over to La Victoire and get to work!

24 A strangely timed arrival- Something's coming to La Victoire
Hello taxpayers! You're all looking rather worse for wear. Is it the adventuring that's getting to you, or the fact that your weekly tax payment has gone ignored? Yes, I'm sure by now the crippling anticipation of your standard late fee is sounding pretty ominous. Oh, I'm not here to harp on you about your lack of financial know-how this time, Gaians. That was just a friendly poke to let you know that I, your friendly neighborhood tax preparer, truly care. Onto more pressing business: You've got mail!

-

There was a strange package on my desk this morning. And when I opened it, well... you simply don't want to know what I found. I have chills just thinking about it! Who would send such a thing?! At first I thought it was a prank from those shifty mailroom slouches, but even they wouldn't have the gall to place such a horrific thing on my desk. My desk, of all places! Hmph!

Upon further inspection, the package appears to be addressed to you, my dear Apprentice Wing Scouts. Of course, it wasn't so much written on as carved into the surface of the package by unearthly claws, so perhaps I misread the label. Regardless, it's out of my hands. I've shipped it off to La Victoire. Jet and Cygnus will be placing the infernal (and quite gaudy) thing on their shelves as soon as it arrives, which should be around 12:00 AM PDT on July 25th, 2015. Enjoy your "gift," you atrociously unlucky tax evaders. And please tell whomever sent it that the GRS is not, in fact, a delivery service. The nerve of some people! Yeesh!

24 Evolving Item Report: Me Day!
Forgive me, Gaians! I must look so haggard and disheveled from my recent field work out at the banks of Lake Kindred. Dear me, I feel like a rapidly agitated beaker of scientific wonder right about now. I haven't had this much sciencing to do in a good long while! Whew! If only those pesky interns hadn't've gone off off on summer vacation this week, maybe I would have some relaxation time. I could really use a day just for myself... Oh! What am I saying! Of course I have just the thing for that here at the EI Lab. My fabulously experimental Me Day Evolving Item has just finished progressing into the next stage of development. Fantastic! Let's observe it together, shall we?

-

Me Day:

Looks like you want to feel the BURN so you sneak into the yoga class. Oh my, seems like all those calorie butt kicking sessions are toning you up a bit! After that you decide to kick of your shoes and dip your bare feet in the pool!

I sure hope you were taking notes, Scienteers. There will most definitely be a test on this later, and I wouldn't want you to misremember the exact scent of the incense or the approximate density of that lavish bath bomb prior to detonation, for those tiny miscalculations could permanently affect our study of all things spa-tastic! If you wish to take a closer look at this fascinating specimen, simply visit La Victoire. See you next week, my delightful Sciencers!

25 Special Delivery: The Haunting Coffin is here!
Oh, hey there Gaians! Why... uh, why are you here so late? Not to shoo you away, but I'm just a little confused. Are you expecting something?

Oh! A package? From Ivan? Sounds ominous. Maybe it'll be-- *DING DONG* Wow, speak of the devil. That must be it! ...Yikes, Gaians. Are you sure this is what you ordered? Maybe we should talk a little about what is and isn't a good idea to have delivered in the middle of the night.

-

The Haunting Coffin has arrived in one piece (luckily). Cygnus and I want nothing to do with this spooky nonsense. If you want to crack open the seal on this musty ol' box for a chance at winning some never before seen nocturnal Kin like the elusive Fossil Oppososaurus, Autumn Leafkit, Coral Cubdrop, Furious Aerling, Jasper Cabochomp, Night Echo, or the stunning Phantom Stagony, you'll have to take this thing out of my shop. Although, the gorgeous [Animal] Jasper Cabochomp Fur, [Animal] Autumn Leafkit Fur, and tons of other fabulous new furs lurking inside are kind of tempting.... and the brand new Crimson Graveyard Crasher, The Erlking's Twilight Mantle, and the fab Foxilicious Foxster too? How strange. What else could this mysterious new chance item have in store? Oh man, is that a [KINDRED] Grunny I spy?! Alright Gaians, you've convinced me: Let's pop this baby open!!

It looks like this sinister surprise will only be in the shop until 9:00 AM PDT! Better hurry! The things that go bump in the night are out and about-- catch yours today!

Check It Out!

25 Which Kin will we meet next? You decide!
Hi apprentice Wing Scouts! How are you holding up out here in the wilderness? Aw, don't worry. You'll figure out how to survive. Or you'll die tryin'! Ha! Pretty funny right? Heh...it's really dangerous out here, is what I'm tryin' to say. So we senior Wing Scouts've come up with an awesome new plan to help us make it through this forest: We're gonna recruit some more Kin!

Gwee, Kitten Star, Lobo, and Thea are all awesome criters and totally cute companions, but only one of them is going to become a Kin and join us on our journey at Lake Kindred. Which one will it be? We're leaving it up to your votes to decide!

Gwee the Dragon: This fiery flyer is just a baby, but his breath is no laughing matter! Team up with Gwee to unleash an inferno on your foes.

Kitten Star: An intersteller pal who came to this planet from outer space to spread cuteness and wonder... and possibly some very strange fleas.

Lobo the Gray Wolf: AroooOOooo! This guy knows how to party! A little sneaky and insanely strong, this ferocious fighter might just be your best teammate yet.

Thea the Unicorn: Innocent, wise, and charming to boot! Or should we say to hoof? Add Thea to your party to gain a dazzlingly darling companion.

To vote, just check out the big shiny button below and donate to your favorite pet. In exchange, you'll receive a special Sealed Certificate from your pick! Once this donation event is over, the Certificates will unseal. The winning team will score some awesome Lake Kindred items and the winning Kin! All the other Certificates will still have some nifty prizes inside. Amazin', right? Be sure to vote soon!

Happy Saturday, Gaians! Check it out; I had Cygnus whip me up a Cootie Catcher. Pretty neat, huh? I hear these things can be super adorable. Pick a number, okay? Now pick another... okay, one more number.... got it! Are you ready to hear your fortune? It's "six." What?! Hey Cygnus, you weren't supposed to write numbers on every panel. Don't you know how to make these things?

I've never tried catching cooties before.

25 Discount Party! You're invited!
Oh no, Gaians! Whyyyyy. They were too young. Too young!!

You really messed up this time. In a lotta ways.

This isn't what I wanted. I pulled off a near-seamless prank on Cygnus, but at what cost, Gaians. At what cost? I thought it would be funny to tape the handle to the faucet sprayer down so that it'd give anyone who tried to use the sink a big wet scare. It was. For the record, it was funny.

Tell them the rest of the story now. It gets even funnier.

Well, just as expected, ol' Cygnus sauntered over to the sink to wash his hands after lunch. It was great. I was in the perfect viewing position. I did my best to keep my cool, Gaians, I really did. But right as he turned the knob, I yelled an (admittedly premature) "GOTCHA!" and he turned to look at me. So instead of the water hitting him smack dab in the face, it shot wayyyy past him and doused all of my favorite new chance items instead!

Go ahead buddy. Deliver the big finish.

So now I have all these slightly soggy chance items for sale on a special discount. They're still... I mean, you can still open them I think. Wanna take a look?

26 It's Sunday Funday! See what's new in La Victoire!
-

Hey Gaians! I can't talk much today. I realize that's a heartbreaking unfortunate turn of events, but there is a good reason! I have a new video game I am playing and I am stuck on a quest. Ugh. I don't want to browse the internet for this game's FAQ, but I've been stuck on this quest since last night! Anyway. Here is a look at today's new assortment of fashionable items:

- Buy Kittilicious Kitser!

Buy Last Year's Gothic Lookbook!

-

Buy This Bundle!

-

Must...complete...quest. Cygnus I need five more cans of energy drinks! I think this is going to be a very long day.

Visit La Victoire!

26 Open a Quest Turn In for Fabulous New Recolors!
Woo! I'm almost there! I finally gave in and went online to find a guide, hint, cheat, ANYTHING to get past this silly little quest. Ugh. I hate how linear roleplaying games are becoming. What happened to open world gaming?! Some of us like to explore the world and pick and choose what quests we'd like to do or how much time we want to spend leveling our characters. I have you know I much prefer to spend over 100 hours on my games, and these games that only last 20 or 30 take away from the fun of a video game! OH OH OH OH WAIT! I DID IT! BAHA! Quest completed! Forget what I just said. This game is the best! Ok! Let's turn it in. Huh, what's this. Hmm. Oh man, you Gaians are going to love this! Here, check out Quest Turn In:

-

Are you getting ready to do a Quest Turn In? Don't be alarmed when you turn in your quest instead of being able to go to the next quest, you get rewarded with new swag for your avatar! Inside Quest Turn In contains an assortment of spiffy new recolors such as Fluorescent Shadow Virus, Chanceux Petite Lumiere, Dee and Es Candy, and more! If you're lucky you might score the newly user recolor Programmed Gatekeeper designed by Lecalli and The Ariadelle!

So there you go Gaians! I hope you enjoy this game as mu- WAIT A MOMENT. NOOOO don't freeze on me. Waaah! I'm going to have to start over! Sob.

Start Your Quest!

26 Welp. Jet did it again! It's a Another Discount Party!
Sigh. Hi Gaians. You would have thought I learned my lesson from yesterday's fiasco.

But you didn't, did you Jet?

I swear it was going to be hilarious! I waited for the perfect moment to douse Cygnus with the water faucet. I really did! I followed the same steps as yesterday after Cygnus finished lunch. But right as he turned the knob, I yelled "I GOT YOU NOW BAHAHA!" and he turned to look at me. So instead of the water hitting him smack dab in the face, it shot wayyyy past him, again, and doused even more all of my favorite new chance items instead!

So.. I might have gotten these chance items very soggy. Don't worry! I think they're good. Unfortunately we're going to have to say farewell to a couple of these chance items because I don't think they'res salvageable at this point. But hey - who doesn't like a great deal? Right?

27 Club Verge Update: Velvetine Demon and Lofty Demon!
Salutations yet again, my delightful Ver-- oh! You're not my Vergers. Ah, well, it would be correct to say that some of you are, but it appears that I've pressed my paw against the incorrect mechanism on this newfangled dashboard panel and now my words are going to all of Gaia at once. Ah well, let's not waste an opportunity. Hello, Gaians! I am absolutely thrilled to be conversing with you on this fine Friday afternoon. Lovely out, isn't it? That's not a rhetorical question, friends. I haven't seen the land outside of Club Verge in perhaps weeks. Is it lovely out? Is it? I quite like to imagine that the world beyond these stylish yet bleak walls is as gorgeous and free as I recall. Ah, but I am so in love with my work. In fact, take a look at what our team of talented tailors and slightly-less talented tailoring assistants has procured for today:

-

Woof, I say! Woof indeed! Do forgive the undue enthusiasm my friends, but I daresay that the lovely Velvetine Demon and Lofty Demon are some of the best ever sets to reach the finely polished shelves of Club Verge. If any of my current Vergers would like to take a closer look, they can always pop back in to share a cup of tea and a nice beef bone with me. If any prospective Vergers are becoming increasingly starry-eyed over the brilliant new arrivals in Club Verge, do click the button below to learn more about our exclusive organization. Toodle-oo!

28 La Victoire Update: Tons of fabulous new finds!

Hiya Gaians! Some people like to think of Tuesday as Monday's nagging little sibling. Now, it's not quite the start of the week, but it's not the exciting turning point that Wednesday represents either. Personally, I think to think of Tuesday as that nice productive period between "Why am I awake?" and "Is it the weekend yet?" but of course everyone has their own special way of handling their Tuesdays. On that note, I put my tiny and slightly moist nose to the grindstone this morning and managed to whip up some fantastic new surprises to make this Tuesday zoom right by! Take a look:

-

Get CMYK Waffle Run!

Get Haunted Graveyard Crasher!

Happy Pre-Wednesday, Gaians! I hope you all have super productive days full of mundane victories. Do your homework! Mow the lawn! Scrub that weird mold from the corner of your shower! I believe in you all, you know! Well most of you, that is. I know at least one of you who I don't believe in once bit. You can fight among yourselves to figure out who. It'll give us all something to be curious over, right? Have fun, Gaians!

28 Summer Swim: Newly discounted!
Ready for some fun in the sun, Gaians? WRONG! I know there's no way you guys are all ready to hit the beach in your summer finest because I know for a fact that you're all decked out in last season's gaudy swim attire. That's so incredibly un-chic of you, Gaians. I mean, I don't even know for sure if you've washed your cute trunks and teeny bikinis since last year. Can you confirm for me that you washed them? I want a receipt from your local dry cleaner stat!

-

Alternatively, you can use the new Summer Swim chance item to trash that tired old look in favor of some brand new swimwear surprises straight from your favorite designer.... me! Just because I don't make a habit of wearing swim suits doesn't mean I don't love the things-- I just love my fur a little bit more. But even I gotta say that these adorable new looks are completely and ridiculously fabtastic. Let me pick out your perfect style! I might even give you a full makeover while I'm at it. You might score some fabulous new steals like the charming Tropical Modern Swimwear, [Animal] Astra: Beach Time, Lovely Beach Spot, Cute Retro Swimwear, Cool Sun-bleached Surfer Hair, Light Slick Back Hair, or tons of other amazing arrivals. Enjoy! As a special treat, Summer Swim bundles are discounted for a limited time only!

29 Flying Kites: Gleaming gorgeous goodies (and Tickets too!)
Look! Up in the sky, Cygnus? What's that? Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's--

Just a kite.

Oh... well, darn. That's a little anticlimactic, to be honest. I was sort of hoping it'd be some kind of superpowered vigilante streaking across the sky. Instead, it's just a whimsical kids' toy. Doesn't it do anything cool? Laser beams, maybe? Do kites have any redeeming qualities other than being sort of pretty?

-

Well, the Flying Kites above us do keep dropping tiny little parcels. I opened a couple up earlier and scored a pretty sweet selection of brilliantly vivid rainbow items like [Animal] Colorfur Furmiliar Comfurt, Vivid Rainbow March, and Rainbow Social. Not to mention all the sunny shiny golden collectibles like Chamomile Cubpuccino, Misty Hatter, and Tawny Bishop Infantry. I hear there's also a chance you'll walk away with the ultra rare Project Rainbow Ticket or Rainbow Paw Ticket which can be exchanged for the opportunity to recolor an existing Gaia item! If all of that doesn't appeal to you, there's even a chance to win billions of gold!

Gee, that DOES sound neat. Maybe this kite flying stuff is up my alley after all! See you soon, right Gaians? You can grab your own awesome Flying Kites chance item from La Victoire!

29 Now in La Victoire: Angry Dino and Exquisite Crane Warrior!
-

Hey Gaians! Isn't it just an awesome day? I woke up with a spring in my step and a song in my heart. Given, that song is one of those obnoxiously poppy one hit wonder tracks currently making its rounds on the local radio stations and all my favorite internet hangouts, but it's a song nonetheless! Why isn't anyone else celebrating this wonderful Wednesday? In fact, why aren't there any songs about Wednesdays to sing?! I mean, everyone knows that catchy tune "Mondays are the Fridays of Tuesday" by The Ron Bruise Experience, and of course we all sing along to that classic smooth jazz breakdown, "Thursday Through The Weekend Blues (My Schedule Is Booked)" by Chocolate Cake Supreme... but there's no song about Wednesday anywhere! This is an outrage! A travesty! An opportunity, even. While I get to work kickstarting my musical career, you can take a peek at all the new finds waiting in La Victoire.

29 Gold Shop Update: Museum Souvenirs!
Hey Gaians! School may be out, but everyone's still out learning and studying. Even me! I've been brushing up on ancient artifacts and ol' skeletons because, well, old cultures were actually kind of metal. Have you ever seen a dinosaur before? They're like the epitome of punk. Anyways, all of us shopkeepers have been hitting up the local museum scene. It's sort of like going clubbing, but instead of it being at night, loud, and dangerous, it's during the business week, very quiet, and educational. But still-- all punk. And check out the neat souvenirs we've been collecting!

-

There are a ton of awesome new prehistoric goodies available at Durem Depot, Ruby's Rack, Gambino Outfitters, and Barton Jewelers. There's also a bonus steal in Salon Durem up for grabs! Science is cool! History is cool! Learning is really freakin' awesome! I know I sound like your mom right now, but it's true-- this stuff is wicked cool. Check it out for yourself.

31 Open the Angelic Seal for Items, Gold, or Tickets!
Gaians, take a look at this shiny seal I found on my pizza box! Isn't it beautiful? It's so..sparkly! It sparkles much brighter than Cygnus in my opinion. At first I thought the seal was a promotion where I would get a free pizza because I was the 100th customer, but further investigation shows this seal is much more than a chance at free pizza. There's a much higher calling for this seal. Here. I'll show you. Take a look at the Angelic Seal:

-

Open the Angelic Seal for heavenly assortment of gold, or items! You may score divine items such as Sister of Virtue, Brazen World Protector, Aria's Holy Invocation, Palalaladin, and more! Also nestled deep inside the seal is the Baby Platinum Ticket which can be exchanged for the opportunity to work with a talented Gaia artist to design your own exclusive custom item with one pose and Baby Golden Ticket which can be exchanged for the opportunity to work with a talented Gaia artist to design a custom item with one pose!

Make sure to stop by La Victoire and grab the Angelic Seal before it leaves the stores!

01 Get a head start with the August 2015 Chance Pass!
Hey Gaians! Check out what I found. It's a little dusty and moldy from being in the back of the fridge for so long, but I think it's still technically good until it expires. Pretty neat, right?

-

The August 2015 Chance Pass may seem empty now, but as August trundles along you'll reap more and more rewards from it! This fantastic Chance Pass comes loaded with a variety of different boxes, all of them mysteriously sealed. Each Sealed Box contains a five pack of a Chance Item that will be released in July -- this includes our regular CI, our mini CIs, and even our animated CIs! When the CI is released, your box will unseal itself and the mystery will be revealed to you! The Chance Pass also includes the enigmatic August 2015 Golden Sealed Box, a collection of exclusive recolors that opens the last day of August! This incredible deal will be in the shop until August 15th, 9:59 AM PDT. We hope to see you in the shop soon!

01 August Advance Chance: Get August's CI before anyone else!
Hello again, taxpayers! I'd love to bombard you with a whole host of queries about this transaction and that, but I've more important matters to discuss: Admin. Who is this mysterious woman? What is her role? Does she dance among us named NPCs, with our fleshed out identities and harrowing backstories, or does she drift alongside the real life Gaia Staff, making smalltalk at desks and hoarding free goodies from the kitchen? It's a conundrum that has troubled me for far too long! More importantly, she hasn't filed taxes in 12 years! This is an outrage! A disgrace! I demand answers, Gaians! And unfortunately, she refuses to reply to my emails. I guess I'm just terrible at talking to women. Or rather, Mr Bibbles is, seeing as I've let him handle all my correspondence as of late. In fact, he's penning this announcement as we speak. And I dutifully believe he'll type only the most truthful things as they leave my lips. Have I mentioned that I smell? I smell awful. Mr. Bibbles is the best and I am just a stinky old tax man who won't spring for a quality cat tree. All Hail Bibbles.

What will the next CI be? Nobody knows, but you’ll get the first crack at it with August's Advance Chance. On the day of the next CI release, you’ll be able to open your bundle and start reaping the rewards of your CIs hours before they’re released to the general public, so you can start listing items on the Marketplace when hardly anyone has their hands on them yet. This month's Advance Chance includes a rare chance to receive a bundle filled with only enhanced CIs! (10 for normal, 25 for the 25 pack)

Be sure to visit my associates at La Victoire if you'd like to get a head start on August's CI. Best of luck! Now, let me just proofread... HEY! Mr. Bibbles, how could you?! That's not--

01 Gaze at Summer Fireworks for a chance at items or tickets!
It won't be too long before summer is over. Man, it's been fun this year hasn't it? It has been a jam packed summer so far with devouring hundreds of s'mores, and going swimming, and eating snow cones, and playing role playing games, and sleeping all day. I think I still have to get a few more things done on my summer bucket list including watching more Summer Fireworks:

-

Watch the Summer Fireworks shoot off in the night sky and be rewarded with gold, items, or tickets! You may win beauties such as [Animal] Astra: Dark Mini Nitemare Backwings, Astra: Inversion, Astra: Dark Lunar Phase, and more! If you are super lucky you may score precious tickets such as Project Rainbow Ticket, Baby Platinum Ticket, Golden Paw Ticket!

You know, all this talk about fireworks has me inspired to sing! Baby, you're a firewor--

No.

03 Unleash the horrors within the Haunting Trickbox!
Hey Gaians, glad you're here! i've got a bit of a dilemma to share with you. Normally I'm not the type to meddle in all the nefarious forces of the underworld and suchlike, but... well, I found this neat box. isn't it shiny? And doesn't it smell exactly like maple syrup? Can you practically taste the amazingly luxurious and only moderately dangerous new items hiding inside? The temptation is just too much! Help me get this pesky puzzle box open and we'll have ourselves a collosal collection of crazy new collectibles! Take a peek:

-

The Haunting Trickbox is hot with rage. From who, though? Or from what? I guess we'll never know! Nevermind that strange howling sounds that echoes through the cube every so often; we're pretty sure it's not some sort of malevolent spirit trapped inside... it's probably just... a mechanical error. Either way, I have a theory that we can pop this baby open to score a stunning new find like the wicked Lori The Sweet Vamp. All Stereotypically Negative, Viral Terror of 1999 Daring Dollhouse Demon, or the amazing new user-designed masterpieces: Skeetle Fest by NamesRina, Silver Thorns by The Queen of Purgatory, Not Tomorrow Daybreak by Briethell, and the Astherie Headphones by Rie_lil_vamp!

03 Alchemy Update: New Formulas in The Bifrost!
Hmm? Oh. It's you. Quiet. This needs my full attention. There are newly deciphered formulas awaiting young and upcoming alchemists near the back of the shop. Take a look at those while I work, ok? I understand you may not fully appreciate my work, but it does take a lot of concentration to decipher runes.

-

If you think you have the expertise to craft the new formulas, go right on ahead. Just... don't break anything in my shop. Nicolae has done enough damage already. I'm tired of cleaning up messes.

04 Open up the Little Haunted Box for spooky surprises!
Ugh! Sometimes I really hate working late nights here in the shop. I always ask Cygnus to do it, but then he reminds me that I'm "nocturnal" and that I technically don't do anything else that's useful, so I ought to mind the shop in the wee hours of the morning. But it's so boring! I usually just end up nodding off in the cash drawer. It's surprisingly comfy to sleep there, you know. Of course, perhaps working the late shift will get a little bit interesting... Maybe I'll even have some spooky visitors! If that does happen, though, I'm going to need some support. Could you pitch in? After all, I always offer fantastic bonuses to those who help out. You will walk away with items like these:

-

Is this Little Haunted Box eerie or what? It seems to be overflowing with creepy and cool items for all my creepy couture collectors out there, like the spooky Standby Roundabout. Sanguine Addiction Bundle, Bloody Arm Bundle, Bloody Marionette Restrung, or the brand new exclusive Buoyant Beachcomber! Avert your gaze, Gaians, lest ye be possessed by these demonic forces of darkness! Or, you know, you could swing by La Victoire and take this box off my hands. Seriously, I'm sick of them filling the shop with fog. It's like I'm in a horror movie, but not even a good one. Gross! See you soon, right Gaians?

Welcome back, Gaians! Or, assuming you never left, hello!

07 You are cordially invited to the 13th Annual User-Run Ball!
It's that time of the year again, Gaians, and the 13th Annual User-Run Ball is upon us! Be sure to doll up in your formal finest as you read this entrancing passage revealed to us by the coordinators:

"There was once a place in time long ago, when the world of Gaia was roamed supremely by humans. Creatures of other natures, especially those of the supernatural, lived in their own realms where they had their own rulers, kingdoms, laws, and traditions.

Each realm was separated by an ancient door that would lead through space, time, and existence directly to a sacred area of Gaia and every hundred or so years the doors would open. With this the people of the realms mingled and the leaders would meet up to discuss their realms. With the twelfth meeting it was declared that the doors would never be opened again.

It took the new leader of the Underworld to invoke the thirteenth meeting, whom wished to open the doors again. many of the leaders were wary of the change that they had gotten used too, but agreed.

As news spread and each realm planned their own party to celebrate in their own way, an Oracle, whom had had a Vision, warned that a dark shadow had fallen over the event and asked if they would reconsider. Much too eager to have something to celebrate the realms ignored her.

"Thou naughty, foolish, naive beings! I warn'd thou all but thou ign'r'd me. This thirteenth meeting shall definitely be thy lasteth! Prepareth. . . the shadow. . . it's coming."

Will the party go uneventful? Are the Oracles warnings true? What is this shadow? Can the six realms work out their differences with those on Gaia, and allow the six doors to remain open? All remains to be seen, but please come join the party to see first hand all that shall go on. What are you waiting for?"

For more on this fascinating tale and a chance at some mischief and merriment, be sure to visit the 13th Annual User-Run Ball. It began on August 6th and will end at 11:59 PM PDT on August 10, 2015.

Attend the Ball!

07 It's almost time to decide which new Kin will appear!
Hi again, apprentice Wing Scouts! Earned any badges yet? I was gonna offer you the one we give to new kids for doin' our chores for us, but Peyo says hazing is a little extreme in the scouting world. Anyways, we just stopped by to remind you that time is running out to donate to your favorite Kin's campaign!

Gwee, Kitten Star, Lobo, and Thea are all awesome criters and totally cute companions, but only one of them is going to become a Kin and join us on our journey at Lake Kindred. Which one will it be? We're leaving it up to your votes to decide!

Gwee the Dragon: This fiery flyer is just a baby, but his breath is no laughing matter! Team up with Gwee to unleash an inferno on your foes.

Kitten Star: An intersteller pal who came to this planet from outer space to spread cuteness and wonder... and possibly some very strange fleas.

Lobo the Gray Wolf: AroooOOooo! This guy knows how to party! A little sneaky and insanely strong, this ferocious fighter might just be your best teammate yet.

Thea the Unicorn: Innocent, wise, and charming to boot! Or should we say to hoof? Add Thea to your party to gain a dazzlingly darling companion.

To vote, just check out the big shiny button below and donate to your favorite pet. In exchange, you'll receive a special Sealed Certificate from your pick!

07 Take a peek at the Storybook Tales. There's something amiss!
You remember that time your teachers in school told you that reading was fun, Gaians? And remember how you didn't listen because you thought, "Man, it's just words on a page! Where's the action? The explosions? The snacks?!" ... Or, maybe that was just me. Either way: I'm here to announce that I've been totally wrong about books all this time! Not only are they words on a page, but they're awesome for hiding tiny doodads in. Like watch, if I just carve out the center of this priceless ancient tome, it'll be just the right size to stash a package of toaster pastries. Awesome, right?! Here, I found this huge stack of dusty ol' books in the basement. Pick one and open it up!

-

Whoops, it looks like someone already opened the Storybook Tales and removed a few choice pages. I can still sort of make out the stories. Uhm... something about... eternal chaos... evil spell... cursed tome... don't read this out loud or else....eh, whatever. Finders Keepers, am I right? Crack open one of these babies to score some sweet cash shop collectibles like the Dollmaker Bundle, Wintry Princeless Princess, Angelic Horns of the Demon, Ragged Chill, or the hefty Cursed Bundle! There are even a massive stash of Golden Fragment Alchemy components floating around inside which can be used to create legendary Project Tickets to design your own custom items! Finally, I hear tell that there are Perfect Parcels tucked between the pages of some of these books. Those can be exchanged for any equippable item on Gaia that isn't Limited Quantity! Oh, the joys of reading... now take a book and start tearing!

07 Evolving Item Report: The Finale of Me Day!
Welcome back to the EI Lab, my adorable junior scientists. I hear you've been researching those mysterious Kin creatures! A commendable field of study indeed. Why, it's so new and groundbreaking that the literal ground beneath it is unstable-- or is that just the power of the latent energy dwelling beneath Lake Kindred? We may never know! Science, of course, doesn't tend to answer questions. If you're doing it right, every answer you find sparks a thousand new in-depth questions to answer. Yes, rather like the head of a mighty Hydra, Science is always multiplying in its eccentricities. Ah, but there I go rambling on and on about my various theses again. What I'm really here to announce is that we are finally wrapping up our gorgeous and glamorous new Evolving Item, Me Day! Yes, it's time to say farewell to the spa-- but not before some last minute fun! Let's observe:

-

Me Day: Ah, time to finish off your mini-vacation with grace and serenit-- EEK! Where's your towel?! I think maybe you lost track of some important priorities during that last hot rock massage... but let's be honest, you look fabulous! With that flowy new hairstyle and those newly de-stressed shoulders, even the hunky masseuse is taking notice of the new you. I guess that Me Day really paid off. Back to reality we go!

And so concludes the tale of Me Day. I sure hope all my favorite Sciencers are feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! We've got a lot of experimentation in the works for next week's Evolving Item Report and I'm thrilled to begin the research! Be sure to check back next week for our latest developments. See you soon, Scienteers!

08 Use the Kindred Trap Kit & Win Items, Gold, or a NEW Ticket!
Gaians, check out what I got today in the mail. All of you aspiring Wing Scouts will love this new gadget! And I can assure you I ordered this package on my own so no spooky 1040 stuff from Ivan, OK? Pfft. It'd only make sense a package from him would be a coffin of all things. Heh. AAAANNNYYYWAAAY. Here. Let me show you this new contraption. It's called the Kindred Trap Kit:

-

Set a Kindred Trap Kit to trap new exclusives, items, Kin, or gold! You may win items such as Refreshing Adorkable Bea, Subliminal Spooky Shounen, Dee and Es Shiny, Sumi's Clever Outcast, [KINDRED] Stagony Egg, [KINDRED] Skill Plus (200%) and much more! Also hiding within the Kindred Trap Kit are the new exclusives Leafkit March, Aerling March, Ursadew March, and Echo March! That isn't all. Setting a Kindred Trap Kit could also score you the brand new ticket Kindred Capture Seal which gives you the opportunity to work with a Gaian artist to design a special colored version of their favorite Kin (one evolution only or non-evolution) and consequently, that Kin's correlating item set.

So what are you waiting for! Grab your backpack, the ingredients to make s'mores, and head on over to La Victoire to purchase a Kindred Trap Kit today. See you soon!

09 Prehistoric Town Pride: New Town Items!
Salutations, my fabulous Scienteers! No Evolving Item reports today, but boy do I have a discovery most sciencey to share. It seems that there are a number of absolutely amazing new reptilian rage monsters of a most competitive nature popping up all over Gaia-- well, not all over Gaia. Mostly in the major inhabited zones, it seems... Fascinating, isn't it? I'm going to launch a full scale investigation and taming of these majestic beasts right away! But it's up to all my favorite junior scientists out there to help fund this research mission: We'll need food, water, extra hands, and an absurdly large rolled up newspaper-- these things don't just grow on trees (although that research is promising) so I've arranged for a special offer to help my latest experiment and my generous donors at the same time!

-

To support my scientific exploits regarding these strange new items, simply purchase either the Angry Aekean Dino Bundle, Angry Durem Dino Bundle, Angry Bartonian Dino Bundle, or the Angry Gambinador Dino Bundle from my friends at La Victoire!

You can open up these bundles beginning on August 13th, where they will reveal some newly tamed and very stunning Angry Dino recolors exclusive to your town of choice! Be sure to pick up some extra copies-- any bundle that sells out will include the added bonus of a brand new exclusive OMG Hat recolor! I'm delighted for the chance to study these fascinating specimens. Let's begin!

09 Royalty in Spades is Here with New Recolors!
Guys, I found out about the COOLEST card game ever today from some Wing Scouts. It is breaking the mold of card games and will change the way cards are played forever. I swear it will be! Why didn't I know about this before? All those times I spent procrastinating to clean up the storage room could have been time spent playing this fun game. Cygnus, want to help demonstrate?

Uh...no?

Great! Sit at the table. Woo! I can't wait to show you all this game. Cygnus shuffle these cards, and deal out seven cards.

Sigh.

Ok. I got my seven cards. Cygnus has his seven cards. Now we're going to look at our hand. The whole point of the game is to form sets of four of a kind. Let me show you how it's done. Cygnus do you have tens?

No.

AHA we are at the fun part now! And so early too! If the player doesn't have the card you are asking for you yell out "GO FISH!" Fun, right?!

You got to be kidding me.

No, really. You need to go fish.

I'm done.

Wait. Cygnus! Come back! Oh fish sticks and custard. He really needs to work on his anger issues. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes! I was so inspired by this card game I have a brand new chance item to introduce. It's called Royalty in Spades:

-

Royalty in Spades is a beautiful assortment of brand new recolors! Opening this chance item could score you delightful items such as Solemn War Hymn, Shocking Joker's Court, Gangstar Jacques des Coeurs, and The Demere Queen of Solair! That isn't all. If you're lucky, you may win the elusive new user-designed recolor tops by eur!

Since Cygnus walked out of the shop I guess I'll have to find someone else to play Go Fish with me. When you stop by La Victoire to buy Royalty in Spades, mind playing a round with me? You'll be mind-blown at much fun you'll have. I swear. See you soon!

10 Now in La Victoire: Stupendous surprises await!
-

Howdy, Gaians!

It might be a bit early still, but have you figured out what you're having for lunch? It's a hard choice that you just can't take too lightly. In my opinion, what you eat for lunch affects your whole day after that. If you're like me, you sleep in pretty late and stay up all night, which means that an early lunch will change the course of the vast majority of your day. If that happens every day, lunch practically controls your life! So it's a perilous decision. While we mull it over together, let's take a look at the new shinies and shimmeries that have appeared in La Victoire!

Alrighty Gaians. I know it was a tough one, but I've finally managed to procure the perfect lunch plan: If I just eat everything in the kitchen at once, I won't have any regrets about the road not taken! So I'm going to go prepare a big bowl of macaroni and cheese in a garlic bread bowl, garnished with chicken nuggets, taco shell pieces, a can of tuna, a few packetfuls of sugar, a dozen scrambled eggs, half a stick of butter, and some rainbow sprinkles. I'll top it off with a side of waffles covered in hot sauce and chocolate syrup. Yum! If I survive this bountiful banquet, stop by La Victoire for the grand tour, and to get your hands on these fabulous new releases! See you soon!

10 Limited Quantity Item: Final Law of Entropy
There's been a strange trend lately, Gaians. Right after Cygnus and I gorge ourselves on dinner and settle in for a night of video games and movie marathons, someone knocks on the door. Now, usually I run to the door with bated breath and a spring in my step to greet whomever might have dropped by for a snack or a chin scratch, but each time I've opened it, there's been no one there! Nothing more than the faint sound of laughter on the breeze and a very disappointed Kitten Star. Hmph. So tonight I set a nice trap: I hid just next to the front door of the shop and waited. It only took about 4 hours for the culprits to come creeping up the steps, and that's when I caught 'em red handed! Ha! Care to meet the trickster?

-

Aha! That mischievous Final Law of Entropy walked right into my trap! You can stop by La Victoire to check out these tricky new arrival before I kick her to the curb on August 14h at 5:59 PM PDT or as soon as she sells out completely. See you soon!

11 New Kin! Meet our cute and creepy pal: Cria!
Hey junior Wing Scouts! How are you holding up out here in the wilderness? We were thinking we ought to put together a little survival guide for all you newcomers. Y'know, 'cause we're kind of professionals at this by now. We even had to make up new badges because we were doin' so much stuff that we ran out of official Wing Scout merit badges to earn! Now I've got my Forest Fire Badge, my Ate A Whole Fish Completely Raw Badge, and my Fought An Evil Tree Monster Badge. Pretty cool, right? Anyway, mostly we're here to introduce you to our brand new friend: A new Kin!

-

Meet Cria. But don't put your hand to close to its mouth. It looks real friendly and innocent, but this little guy has a few problems telling the difference between friends and food. Lucky for us, it only eats plants! But um, be sure your Leafkit keeps a safe distance. Just 'cause.

This cute and scrappy companion'll make a great addition to your team! We mailed a whole bunch of Cria eggs over to Jet and Cygnus at La Victoire to hang onto them for us. Be sure to pick one up for yourself!

11 Go through the Bizzaro Gate for striking surprises!
Woah, Gaians! You gotta peek your head into this weird warp hole that appeared in the shop. I understand it might not be your first instinct, sticking your head into multidimensional portals without prior research, but you have my word that it's a total blast. You see, in this weird alternate universe, everything is different! It's not quite the opposite of this Gaia, but... well, in that world, the guy runnin' La Victoire is Ultra-Satan! And that in-your-face politician Friedrich is the surly sidekick. The president of this alternate Gaia seems to be Nicolae... but he's actually kind of an upstanding gent in this reality. Crazy stuff! Heck, even the fashions are a bit out there:

-

Gaze through the Bizzaro Gate to score some of Gaia's most brilliant finds featuring color schemes worn by only the flashiest of trendsetters. You might get your hands on the coveted Refreshing Adorkable Bea, Subliminal Spooky Shounen, Sumi's Clever Outcast, Butter Milk is Bad for Cats, or even the thrillingly rare Project Rainbow Ticket or Rainbow Paw Ticket, which will allow you to design your very own custom recolor of an existing item!

11 The seal is weakening on this month's Advance Chance!
Great news, Gaians! I've an update on the mysterious nature of the mysterious Admin. Now, due to some rather stringent regulations regarding intentional obfuscation of her exact role, I can't exactly share any of the more juicy details. But those parts aren't what's important anyhow, right? Let's get down to brass tacks-- or more appropriately, brass taxes. After 12 years of deviant tax avoidance, I finally managed to secure a payment from the wily Admin! Given, that payment came in the form of some very strange objects like a briefcase full of used sticky notes and a few dozen multi-colored pens, but it was a payment nonetheless. Victory for the GRS! Victory for the system! I'm also pleased to announce that Mr. Bibbles is no longer penning my emails and official letters for me. He's been promoted to riding upon my shoulder and repeating everything I say in cat speak, so that we may one day begin collecting tax from the thousands of feral feline tax dodgers in Gaia. No one is exempt, you know! Oh, but there I go rambling. I'm actually here to show you the latest changes taking place with this month's Advance Chance. Take a look:

-

What will the next CI be? Nobody knows, but you’ll get the first crack at it with August's Advance Chance. On the day of the next CI release, you’ll be able to open your bundle and start reaping the rewards of your CIs hours before they’re released to the general public, so you can start listing items on the Marketplace when hardly anyone has their hands on them yet. This month's Advance Chance includes a rare chance to receive a bundle filled with only enhanced CIs! (10 for normal, 25 for the 25 pack)

Be sure to visit my associates at La Victoire if you'd like to get a head start on August's CI. Best of luck!

11 Community Update: Arena Winners & Exclusive Interview!
Thanks for tuning in again, Gaians. This is Cindy Donovinh with Gaia 9 Action News here at the scene of yet another fantastic Avatar Arena championship. In today's segment, we'll be reviewing the latest Avatar Arena winners and their entries, and then returning to the studio for a quick chat with one of our most beloved shopkeepers.

-

Taking the Cosplay Avatar Arena by storm, the stunning Squid Sister Marie won First Place with the inspired entry entitled: "Splatoon - Marie!" Not to be outdone, the fabulously talented Chinami Mizuki crushed the competition to score First Place in the esteemed Original Avatar Arena with the amazing and vibrant "Rainbow Heaven!"

-

Two more creative competitors rose to the top and claimed victory: In the Cosplay Avatar Arena, Peach Floats Into Battle stole center stage with the fabulously cute "Mushroom Kingdom Princess!" The Original Avatar Arena cheered as the sensational Silverlight Symphony claimed yet another victory with the gorgeous and richly detailed entry entitled "DW: The Fairy Queen."

And now for our special guest interview! You might recognize this lovely face as the mastermind behind the stylish and quirky shop: Ruby's Rack! She's been around Gaia for as long as any of us, and she's seen her fair share of adventures and excitement. We've invited her to the studio for a quick chat about the latest happenings taking place. Please welcome NPC Ruby!

Hello Ruby! It's so great to have you here with us today.
 * Thank you Cindy. It's surprising that I had the free time to stop by. With Peyo off at camp, I hardly know what to do with myself.

I'm sure our readers at home would love to hear a few juicy tidbits about the events taking place at Lake Kindred! Have you received any new postcards from little Peyo?
 * Well... I did and I didn't. I love my boy, really I do, but his handwriting hasn't improved very much in recent years. He takes after his father in that respect. I've received dozens of bleary pictures and adorable doodles of ducks though! Do your readers want to see those?

Er, well, perhaps...
 * Oh, I'm just kidding. Don't worry. I know that not everyone has the tolerance for ducks and duck-related media that Peyo and I do. It runs in the family, you know. Anyway, if you'd like to see more snippets and stories about what's going on at Lake Kindred, be sure to check out the Summer Scrapbook Art Contest currently taking place. There are some amazing entries being posted and more on the horizon!

Fantastic! Are there any hints or secrets you can share with us about the future of Lake Kindred?
 * Ah, well... From what I was able to understand from Peyo's last note, it seems like there may be some trouble fast approaching. I'm glad he's safe out there with all his little Kin friends, but I don't think my dear Peyo and Piyo will be coming home any time soon, even after Kanoko is found.

Speaking of our favorite duck, Piyo has been displaying some very strange characteristics lately. Were you aware that he could do such amazing things before now?
 * I had a feeling there was something special about Piyo, but I certainly never thought my little Peyo would be best friends with some sort of evolving battle monster, that's for sure! If only his skills included cooking and cleaning. Ahhh, that'd be the life, right?

Indeed! Well, any last words to share with all the Gaians out there?
 * Hm... Please remember to be safe while at camp. Write home often and be sure to make a lot of great friendships too. Once you've handled those things, stop by Ruby's Rack for some fantastic summer styles! Even in the face of some overwhelming hardships, my shop's doors are going to stay open proudly. Call it defiance, call it bravery, or call it opportunity to monopolize the fashion market... it hardly matters. See you soon!

With a farewell like that, who needs an outro? Wave goodbye to Ruby everyone. A fabulous lady with some great words of wisdom. (Not to mention her gorgeous hair-- how does she do that?!) Be sure to check out the awesome Lake Kindred if you haven't yet begun your adventure.

Until next time, Gaians: This is Cindy Donovinh, your intrepid reporter, signing out. Please don't forget to visit the Community Update Thread to vote in our poll and suggest some aspects of Gaia to feature in an upcoming Community Update! Your post might be randomly selected to win our Shout Out Contest and you will get the chance to have a one sentence quote included in a future Community Update!

12 Incredible new Limited Quantity Items have arrived!
Woah, what's that strange rustling noise coming from the kitchen? Should we go investigate, Gaians? I agree, let's not. Good choice!

...Oh, I guess I misheard you the first time. Or maybe I was just hoping for a less dangerous answer. *sigh* Okay, well then: Let's go for it! Three...two... ONE!!

Aw, it's not a monster at all! Look how stylin' my latest guests are, folks. Be careful not to spook them! It looks like the cutetastic (and totally gourmet) Midnight Egg Run and the sassy Stylish Kakumei Soldier will be posting up in La Victoire for the time being.

12 The Starstruck Cruel Bundle has arrived!
Quick, Gaians! In here! I'm hiding from the rampaging crowd of idol fans running around outside La Victoire. They're trying to get their hands on any merchandise they can carry, and boy do I have a stash of it. While everyone else was in line for autographs and trying to schmooze the superstars, your pal Jet was out scavenging around backstage for some prime collectibles. Check out the spoils:

-

Pretty sweet, right? It's even autographed! Given, that's only because I saw some official looking contract on the dressing room table. I, uh, managed to rip off the signed part and attach it to the bundle with some sticky tape, but that definitely counts as an autograph in the collector world. The downside of this action is that there's a slight chance that the idols themselves will be in a bit of legal trouble once they find out... All the more reason to get these bundles off my shelves quick! Enjoy!

12 Limited Quantity Item: Arrogant Mine Mine Mine!
Yeesh, Gaians. I'm glad you're here and all, but you might wanna head for the hills. I've got a new guest taking up space in La Victoire, and they're kind of a handful. If you're dead certain you want to meet her, feel free to stick around! And I definitely mean dead certain.

-

Arrogant Mine Mine Mine is here to stay! Well... until August 16th at 9:59 AM PDT, that is. I can't say I'll be sad when she's gone, but I gotta admit that her sleek blue styles really appeal to my spacey nature... and yet... something about her eyes really makes me think that I shouldn't get too close to this admittedly adorable new arrival. Brrr! If you can handle this creepily cute new couture, be sure to visit La Victoire to take a closer look!

I guess we could just call ya Wing Scouts, but then how will people know that me and Scuppers and Monia were the firstest and the bestest? Maybe you can be Feather Scouts or something... Anyway, we've got a couple new Kin to introduce you to!

-

[Kindred] Prunny is here! Pretty spooky, right? These little guys like to nibble on stuff they probably shouldn't, like rocks and antlers and peoples' heads. It's a real problem, but we're trying to teach 'em how to be a little nicer. You can meet them in Lake Kindred if you're real lucky!

And if you're not so lucky, you might run into this guy:

-

[Kindred] Phantom Sycamorte has been showing up all over the place lately! If you thought those big ol' Sycamortes were scary, just wait until you're face to trunk with this creepy Kin. Be safe out there, junior Wing Scouts!

Play Lake Kindred!

13 Now in La Victoire: Shear Whimsy, New Bundles, and more!
-

Good morning, Gaians! A great one, in fact! It's a bright and not-so-sunny Thursday morning, and the layer of rich fog settling over Gaia is eerie in all the best of ways. There's a nice chill in the air, and it's just about the perfect weather to sip down a triple large half sweet non-fat caramel soy macchiato or whatever else your complicated drink-loving heart can come up with to torment your local barista! While I start writing this novel and listening to smooth contemporary jazz, you can check out all the great new finds in La Victoire!

13 Prehistoric Town Pride: Ending Soon!
Just popping by for a quick reminder, my fabulous Scienteers: The amazing new discoveries lurking within the Prehistoric Town Pride bundles will only be available for a short time longer! As you may recall, I delved deep into a research mission to bring to light (and quite possibly to life) the rampaging reptilian creatures sporting your favorite Gaian towns' colors. Today is the day: The bundles will be opening soon! Now is your last chance to unlock exclusive OMG Hats and get your hands on these stunning sets.

-

To support my scientific exploits regarding these strange new items, simply purchase either the Angry Aekean Dino Bundle, Angry Durem Dino Bundle, Angry Bartonian Dino Bundle, or the Angry Gambinador Dino Bundle from my friends at La Victoire!

You can open up these bundles beginning on August 13th, where they will reveal some newly tamed and very stunning Angry Dino recolors exclusive to your town of choice! Be sure to pick up some extra copies-- any bundle that sells out will include the added bonus of a brand new exclusive OMG Hat recolor! I'm delighted for the chance to study these fascinating specimens.

13 Relive those Special Moments with some stunning backgrounds!
Hey Gaians! Remember that time a few weeks ago where I told you there was free pizza at La Victoire, so you zipped over here with the swiftness of Mercury and the hunger of ten million ravenous Diedrichs, but then when you got here, you realized that there was no pizza? And that I really needed you to grab me a toy mouse from on top of a really tall shelf? Heh, good times. Oh, and remember when I texted you in the middle of the night and told you Cygnus was riding a unicycle around the shop while humming show tunes? But you didn't show up because you thought it was just another prank? JOKE'S ON YOU! That one really happened! And you missed it!

-

Whether you're creating new Special Moments or fondly reminiscing about adventures long past, this fabulous new chance item is sure to set a perfect scene! Open it up to score a gorgeous background item or cute animated prop! You might even snag some of our amazing new exclusive backgrounds, like the richly detailed Crystal Wastes, Barren Boneyard, [Animal] Tranquil Farmland, [Animal] Shattered Star, Cyber Space, [Animal] Summer Town, or Galaxy's Gate, among others! Best of all, there's a chance you'll win the brand new Painter's Palette Ticket, which can be exchanged for the opportunity to design your own custom background item! Swing by La Victoire to check it out-- bring your camera, too: You don't want to miss out on any more of our notoriously fun shenanigans!

13 Club Verge Update: Cute Don't Give A!
Good to have you in my presence yet again, my wonderful Gaians! For those of you yet to join the notably exclusive ranks of the fabled Club Verge, do not fret. There is always potential to join, assuming you strive to meet our requirements for entry. For my Vergers in the audience: An extra fine greetings to you! Woof, I say! Woof and bark to boot! I've quite the busy schedule today, so I'm merely stopping in for a swift moment to reveal the latest Club Verge treasure:

-

Cute Don't Give A-- oh, my word! This rather feisty new arrival is clad in a most luxurious furry ensemble the likes of which these weary yet discerning canine eyes have not seen in a great many years. Dog years, mind you, which are a fair sight shorter than your own regrettably human ones, but still quite considerable in length. This elegant delight will be available in Club Verge for those of you wishing to take a closer look! I do hope to see you soon, my friends. Toodle-oo!

13 New savings at La Victoire!
How do you fend off boredom, Gaians? Cygnus and I have already played a few card games, cleaned the entire shop, threw a moderately sized party (you were invited, I promise! Did the invite get lost in the mail?) and we even organized our entire inventory by color, style, alphabetically, and in chronological order of new and shininess. What's left to do?

We could... discount some stuff?

That's a great idea! Hey Gaians, Cygnus is a total and complete genius. While he does all the fun work behind slashing our prices, I'm gonna get down to business and decide what's getting a discount. I normally do that by a highly technical game of eeny-meeny-miny-mo, but this time I'll just go ahead and choose randomly. I piiiick..... These ones! Check it out:

-

Little Haunted Box bundles are discounted for a limited time only!

Is this Little Haunted Box eerie or what? It seems to be overflowing with creepy and cool items for all my creepy couture collectors out there, like the spooky Standby Roundabout. Sanguine Addiction Bundle, Bloody Arm Bundle, Bloody Marionette Restrung, or the brand new exclusive Buoyant Beachcomber! Avert your gaze, Gaians, lest ye be possessed by these demonic forces of darkness! Or, you know, you could swing by La Victoire and take this box off my hands. Seriously, I'm sick of them filling the shop with fog. It's like I'm in a horror movie, but not even a good one. Gross!

-

Haunting Trickbox bundles are discounted for a limited time only!

The Haunting Trickbox is hot with rage. From who, though? Or from what? I guess we'll never know! Nevermind that strange howling sounds that echoes through the cube every so often; we're pretty sure it's not some sort of malevolent spirit trapped inside... it's probably just... a mechanical error. Either way, I have a theory that we can pop this baby open to score a stunning new find like the wicked Lori The Sweet Vamp. All Stereotypically Negative, Viral Terror of 1999 Daring Dollhouse Demon, or the amazing new user-designed masterpieces: Skeetle Fest by NamesRina, Silver Thorns by The Queen of Purgatory, Not Tomorrow Daybreak by Briethell, and the Astherie Headphones by Rie_lil_vamp!

-

Box of Bundles multipacks are discounted for a limited time only!

Tear open a Box of Bundles to score one of my all-time favorites bundles from cash shop sales and awesome chance items of the past. You get a great second try at winning amazing bundles like the Dollmaker Bundle, Winter Madrigal for Her, Seraphic Bundle, Blessed Bundle Cursed Bundle, or even the legendary Win Gaia Bundle!There are also some great non-bundled brand new exclusives in the mix, like the charming [Animal] Sweet Sleepy Baby, Acolyte's Last Blessing, and Ultimate Faithful Rookie!

Be sure to stop by La Victoire to take advantage of these fantabulous deals before my attention runs out and Cygnus and I take off on another adventure. Hey Cygnus, have you ever been to the storage room of CrosSttich? Like, walked completely inside? I'm pretty sure Stein is out picking up fabric. How mad would he be if we snuck in?

That sounds kind of illegal.

Yeah, but how mad would he be? Would it be kind of funny?

Gaians, please hurry over. Jet's emotions have been an unpredictable rollercoaster of madness today. I'd rather not have to pay his bail. See you soon, okay?

13 New Limited Quantity Recolors have crash landed!
Yikes, Gaians! Here I was, minding my own business and winding down for the evening, when BAM! Right through the roof comes a gigantic trunk all stuffed with brand new Limited Quantity Items! I can't decide if these awesome items mean I'm lucky, or if that less-than-awesome hole in the ceiling means I should mark this down as some kind of cruel prank. Either way, let's grab some duct tape and start making repairs. And by that, I mean Cygnus will have some work ahead of him... I don't exactly have the capability to grip a hammer very well, given my distinct lack of thumbs. While he gets ready for an evening of superglue and screwdrivers, let's take a peek at La Victoire's latest exclusives:

-

Get Ghastly Spooky Shounen!

-

Get Shark Swim Cool Style!

Check out both of these awesome finds and tons more by scurrying on over to La Victoire. I completely understand that leaping through the gaping hole in the ceiling all action-movie-like is an extremely tempting notion, but please make an effort to use the door. For Cygnus' sake. See you soon!

14 School's in Session! This season must-haves are here!
Oh, hello Gaians! Sorry, you caught me at kind of a strange time. I was just flipping through this old space school yearbook... What funny pictures! And some great memories. Oh, see, here's Cygnus' yearbook photo. Can you believe he had braces? Thank goodness that ugly duckling grew up into... Well. Whatever you wanna call Cygnus now, I guess. At least he's purple and tall? Anyway, I was the coolest kid back in school. Super popular! Everyone was all like, "Oh Jet! You're the greatest! How are you so great?!" and then I'd sparkle and they'd be so blown away that they couldn't even ask any more questions. Cygnus might say school was a little different, but that's how I remember it! Which reminds me... school just started again for all of you Gaians who're still enrolled, didn't it? That means it's time to gear up!

-

School's in Session yet again and, as usual, you're kicking off the new year vastly unprepared, am I right? Let me guess: Forgot to buy that assigned textbook? A dog ate your summer assignments? I know all the standard excuses. I used 'em myself, back in the day. What's most important is that you don't forget to snag some great school year styles from this fabulous chance item! You'll make the first impression of a century all decked out in the stunning new Owl Be Analyzing, Purrfect Henchmen, Stylist's Semblance, Last Year's Icy Lookbook, or the amazing user-designed masterpieces: Thirsty Death Speaker by Dyloxic, Baleful Gaia-sama by stonerfluxxx, and Latter Day Vorenus by Snow Danger!

14 New Evolving Item: Fireheart Red & [Animal] Fireheart Red!
Eek! Watch out, Scienteers! You've arrived at just the right time to see my latest experiment in action-- and by that, I of course mean that your life is in some very grave danger. Don't worry though! We here at the EI Labs pride ourselves on our quick emergency response time. We may not save your life, or even most of your functioning limbs and delicate mucous membranes, but rest assured that our emergency response time will be near instantaneous. These first responders arrive and leave the scenes of our various emergency situations so quickly that we've never had the time to train them in even basic CPR or how to apply a cold compress! How's that for speedy? Anyway, let's take a look at what's churning around in the Evolving Item Generate-o-Tron. (It's a prototype name, let's not dwell on it.)

Fireheart Red & [Animal] Fireheart Red

Victory! It took a lot of teamwork and a little luck, but our heroes fought their way to the top in a triumphant show of strength and friendship. The leader’s partner had the home field advantage down there in the caldera, but their fiery fortunes took a turn for the worst in the final round. Dodge! Tackle! Strike! Success! It was a show for the ages. To celebrate their first ever major league victory, our heroes donned their spoils: A gleaming badge for our trainer to wear with pride, and a glamorous ribbon collar to make our companion shine. Competitors had best take notice: This dream duo is going all the way to the top, one battle at a time!

It looks like there's an adventure taking flight! Oh, I do hope our dear protagonists remember to catalogue data on the new opponents they encounter. Perhaps I should get in touch with the heroes of this tale and offer them an encyclopedia of sorts? I just feel like there's a space in this saga for a prominent member of the scientific community to occasionally intervene. Oh, but there I go nosing around again. Of course I have my own adventures to partake in, here at the Lab! In fact, I think I'll head back to them before my beakers and flasks get too cold. Stop by again next week for another lesson, my delightful Sciencers! Be sure to snag these exciting new experiments from my friends at La Victoire.

Cygnus do you hear that noise? I think there's a circus in town, and I'm not talking about Loyal's Bazaar either! Although I'm sure Loyal could have a circus in his bazaar and we wouldn't be able to see it. I wonder what else he does incognito. Hmmm. How does he eat? How does he ride a bike? Does he feel hugs?

It's not a circus. It's our new chance item.

Oh. Haha! That's right. Well it wouldn't be too hard not to think it is a real circus filled with new recolors, tickets, and gold! Check it out Gaians:

-

17 Alchemy Update: New Formulas in The Bifrost!
Psst. Hey, you. Yeah, you -- the one with the eyes. C'mere. I wanna talk to you about somethin', okay? So, I've been hearin' a lot of fuss about Alchemy lately. Somethin' about how it's been getting tons of great new updates, all the rage with the kids, yadda yadda yadda. I did a little bit of my own research, and I figure I kinda want in on this action, y'know? So I "acquired" some formulas and started throwing ingredients at 'em to see what would appear. Check out the results:

-

Not bad, right? I was dabbling in this market before, but now I think I oughta throw myself full force into the Alchemy junk. If you want in on the ground floor of this biz, you'd better hurry on over to The Bifrost soon.

Howdy, Gaians! I don't know if you've ever seen a Kitten Star try to tie their shoes, but it's a heckuva sight. Look at me! I don't have any thumbs! These aren't even my shoes! What am I doing over here? Oops, now I'm sleeping in these giant shoes. Look at me, sitting and fitting and being oh so cute. I'm doing cat stuff! Look at all the cat stuff I'm up to!

He's a bit starved for attention today. This is a cheap tactic and you know it, Jet!

Look Gaians! I'm doing that thing. You know, the adorable tilting-head thing. What am I so curious about, hm? Maybe it's today's fabulous new arrivals, meow!

Get Luxurious Me Day!

18 Help unseal the Temple Gate for remarkable rewards!
Yet again I am delighted to be in your presence, beloved Gaians. I must admit, of course, that I've yet another small favor to ask of you. You do recall the mystical gates I've so painstakingly been opening one by one, yes? Ah, well, this one is even more mysterious than any that have come before! It not only emanates the faint aura of gorgeous, rare items inside: it also has a distinct scratching sound. Could it be a horrific monster? Could it be a new friend? Or might it just be an unfortunate captive, locked eternally within the Gate's sealing magic. Or perhaps it's merely some rather spirited new treasure to collect! I must say, I'm delighted to seek the riches that lie just beyond the Temple Gate.

-

C'est bon, non? But here's the problem: the gate is sealed. Tightly. And while I am certainly skilled enough to unlock it, the cost of the reagents alone is simply astronomical. No, I'm afraid I won't be able to open this gate without some aid. And that is where you come in, ladies and gentlemen. Will you help a poor ringmaster put on yet another breath-taking performance? There are rewards in it for you, I can promise you that much. Every time you donate you'll inch closer and closer towards unlocking another tier of rewards, both personal and global, and who knows? With enough funds I may be able to unseal the marvelous Temple Gate and share all of its wonders with you. But be warned! We only have until August 25th at 11:59 AM PDT to accomplish this incredible feat.

An important feature to note is that I've included some rare Loyal's Raffle Tickets within the Loyal's Mystery Box rewards. Be sure to keep a close watch on these enchanted slips of paper. Once the chance to donate has ended, these Tickets will have the opportunity to be exchanged for staggeringly amazing prizes, including the elusive Citrine Ticket! There will be a grand raffle drawing held after the conclusion of the donation event: Look forward to it, my friends!

Dig deep, Gaians, and we will unseal this gate together -- I'm sure of it! I've left a convenient portal open here just for you. Step right in by clicking the button below, or clicking on the tiny Temple Gate in the header there, and you'll be able to help support our quest!

18 The Golden Entrance and Golden Keys are here!
They say having wealth will open a lot of doors for you. Now, I guess normally that's some kinda cheesy metaphor for opportunities and social mobility and being able to just buy an entire shop of ice cream and eat yourself sick for the rest of your life. In this case though, we've got a whole ring full of these amazing new Golden Keys! I'm not quite sure what their relationship is to the peculiar Golden Entrance, but I do know that sacks of gold have been tumbling out of that part of the shop all day. It's like, I look away for a second and THUD! More gold! I just gotta share this with you, Gaians. Take a peek:

The Golden Key will grant you up to billions of gold or a massive stash of GoFusion Charms!

Try the upgraded Golden Key Mega Plus to score up to one trillion gold or a staggering amount of GoFusion Charms!

Pass through the Golden Entrance for a chance to win up to one trillion gold or a huge collection of GoFusion Charms!

Be sure to snag one of these Limited Quantity chance items before they leave the shop on August 22nd at 9:59 AM PDT!

18 A glimpse into Loyal's Mystery Boxes!
Salut! It's your favorite Ringmaster slash investigator of all things mystical, Monsieur Loyal! Thank you yet again for all your contributions in helping open the mysterious Temple Gate. As you may have noticed, your donations have unlocked a myriad of Loyal's Mystery Boxes. Care for a closer look at what these astounding prizes entail?

-

Opening up the Loyal's Mystery Box will grant you the rare Loyal's Raffle Ticket. Each and every raffle ticket you collect will prove to be invaluable at the conclusion of this donation event. Once the gates are opened, there will be an incredible raffle featuring amazing prizes such as the Citrine Ticket, among many Tier Rewards of events long past and other legendary prizes. Each Loyal's Raffle Ticket in your inventory will be counted as a separate entry into this amazing raffle, so do be sure to collect as many as possible while the Gate remains closed. There will be an opportunity to obtain more Mystery Boxes from my shop in the future as well. Enjoy, and good luck!

19 Let's go to the Matsuri Festival!
Hello Gaians! It's that time again: Dust off your yukata and head on down to the summer festival! Oh, I hope those pesky summer spirits aren't prowling about. Those tricksters are always sneaking into La Victoire to raid my fridge and say terrible things to people using my beloved gBox video game console. If you're listening Taru, just because that kid isn't a very good healer doesn't mean you have the right to say those terrible things about his mother! And you, Kitsuko, stay out of my hot chocolate! Anyways, as long as those two aren't around, I'm sure this wonderful summer matsuri is going to be the most charming event of the season! If you're ready to have some fun in the sun, be sure to gear up in the latest summer styles with this awesome new chance item:

-

The Matsuri Festival has begun and there are all sorts of cute new outfits and adorable accessories flying off the shelves! Everyone's dolling up in their summer best to celebrate. Check out the festival and you might score the adorable new Coy Yamabuki Ogon, Glorious Crane Empress, Nagashi Onichan, Precious Qi Luola, or even the delightful user-designed Wings from Down Under by Tauriel X!

19 Now in La Victoire: Cephalopod Shuffle and so much more!
-

Howdy Gaians! Wednesday's here again. Pesky, isn't it? I mean, just when I'm craving a Friday or at least something close to it, Wednesday comes along like a cruel tease. "The week is over halfway done," it says. But you know what it doesn't say? "Sleep until noon and watch TV all day, Jet!" which is what I really want to hear. Lucky for us, this Wednesday in particular is actually pretty excellent. I hear there are some great finds popping into the shop, and there are tons of super adorable new treasures to get your hands on! Wanna take a peek?

-

Get Cephalopod Shuffle!!

-

Get Pure Crane Warrior!

We're just scratching the surface of today's new releases, folks. Keep an eye on the shop for more surprises, and be sure to get your paws on these precious prizes before that quantity counter hits zero. Otherwise, you'll lose your chance for at least six months! That's like forever in cat months, you know. One time, Cygnus went on a short vacation and by the time he came back, I'd already forgotten he existed entirely and had hired a new sidekick. I'm not sure what the moral of that story is, but I hope I'll see you soon, Gaians!

19 Check out The Great Big Sapphire Blender for a tasty treat!
Hey there Gaians. I may not be a chef by nature or by nurture or really by any means at all. Er, that said, I received a package addressed to Rordan Gamsey. Since he's not exactly stopping by anytime soon, I thought heck, how hard could it be? Cooking is just Step 1 to accomplishing eating, and I'm a great eater. So I ripped that sucker open and lo and behold: A brand new blender was inside! I ran out of actual food to blend a few hours ago, but if you hurry on over to the shop right now I'll be glad to serve you up a nice tall glass of nicely pureed item sets in my absolute favorite color: Blue. They don't taste awesome, I'll admit. But they sure look spiffy!

-

Everyone who grabs a cup of the delicious stuff I'm whipping up with my new Great Big Sapphire Blender has a chance at winning the legendary Sapphire Ticket which can be exchanged for the chance to work with a talented Gaia Artist to design your own custom Evolving Item! I'm sure you guys will make that crazy Dr. Singh absolutely thrilled with all that sciencey stuff taking the spotlight. For those just looking to score some deliciously cold sapphire goodness, look forward to scoring some serene items like the amazing Queen of Flora, Beloved, Oni-ly You, Dragonica, Knight of the Cobalt Flame, The Protagonist Was Her, and Hissela, among other fabulous finds. Swing by La Victoire to grab a glass. See you soon!

19 Summer 2k15: The Event is Ending Soon!
Hi everyone! It's been a while, huh? I gotta say, this was absolutely not how I expected my summer to go. I mean, this was just supposed to be a summer camp trip! If these adorable Kin were any less cute and perfect, I would probably throw a big fit over all of this! Hmph! But I just can't be mad at those sweet faces. Lookit, that Cabochomp is sitting at the picnic table right next to the kids. It thinks it's people! UGH, so CUTE! And can you believe all that stuff about Piyo?! Who would'a guessed!

-

It's been a crazy ride, but Summer 2k15: Lake Kindred is ending soon! Now, don't panic: The game will be remaining and so will all your Kins and Potions. You'll still be able to explore the forest, but once this event ends for good on August 20th, the Kindred Wilds is going to undergo a big change. Not only that, but all the wild Stagony, Phantom Stagony, and Lucky the Cat Kins are going to be leaving Lake Kindred for good-- so if you haven't caught yours already, be sure to check out Lake Kindred before it's too late!

And hey-- thanks for saving me! ...Although, you guys were a little barbaric if you ask me. If you want a recap of how that all went down, you can read the latest Manga Update!

The Event Forum will be vanishing soon too! Time to wrap up any conversations or contests you don't want ending on a cliffhanger.

Last but not least, be sure to visit La Victoire to get your hands on some last minute Lake Kindred goodies. Good luck out there, scouts!

You'd better pay a little more attention to me, y'know. If you don't, I'll have to come over there and whack ya one. Err, not that it's a threat. I'd do it affectionately. Oh, but it's not like I like you or anything!! Ack, you know what I mean, ばか！ Just look at this new stuff I brought, okay?

19 Something weird's a comin'
I was snooping around the forest. Doing a little... sight seeing. Maybe not. Either way, none of your business is it? Yessir, you Gaians come around my dumpster two, maybe three times and now you think my whole life is your business, don't ya? Anywho, I was pokin' around out by them spooky woods near Lake Kindred and I saw some real strange stuff. Didn't look much ripe for eating, so I went ahead and left 'em alone. Snapped a picture for yeh, but my camera is just a cracked magnifyin' glass glued to an old tin can packed with leaky batteries. Came out pretty clear, considerin'. Take a look:

-

You can keep this picture. Kinda clashes with the nice shabby-chic motif I've got the Dive all decked out in. Speakin' of which, stay away from my house. And I'd stay out of those woods startin' tomorrow, if I were you! Now get outta here, ya crazy kids. Go do your scoutin' and whatnot.

And by the way, don't you go forgettin' that you're running outta time to catch yer little Cabochompies and Staggerdeers, or whatever you call 'em. Best check out that shiny shop down the way if'n you wanna take a last peek at those particular Kin.

20 Rococo Update: Lovely new shinies!
I'm so glad to be back, Gaians! I mean, I just don't think I was very cut out for the camp life. Truth be told, I think I got fired. Is that what it's called when four smiley Wing Scouts and a duck monster sit you down and tell you that it's not you, it's them? And that we can still be friends? Yeesh. Anyways, those kids are doing great out there in the wilderness...alone.... cold... hungry... Oh gosh, maybe I should run back and check on them. It's not too far, right?! Before I head back to camp, check out what's new in Rococo!!

-

Okay gotta go bye!! Be sure to head to Rococo for all these warm pumpkiny goodies before they get all eaten up by Rina. She's on a pumpkin spice rampage and no one's safe. Okay, bye now!

20 [Kindred] Bubblegum Cria, new recolors, bundles, and more!
-

Ah, a brisk Thursday morning. Perfect for such productive activities as reading a newspaper, being stuck in rush hour traffic, standing in line at an overcrowded chain coffee shop, and saying things like, "Why isn't the weekend yet?" I guess what I'm trying to say is that Thursdays are cruel and desolate. I mean, you're still one full day from the weekend, but with that cocky sense of accomplishment after making through the vast majority of the week. You can't celebrate, but you also don't wanna get too serious. Ugh, Thursdays. On the bright side, this particular Thursday is bringing to us some undeniably fantastic new arrivals and updates. There's something big on the horizon, folks! And this time it's not just my ego. While I gear up for the day ahead, check out what's new in La Victoire.

-

Woah! This awesome new Kin came with a few special instructions: Feed it twice a day, brush its fur thrice a week, compliment it as often as possible, and don't let it get into the candy. The note also says that this special Limited Quantity Kin includes Animal Items for my Paws pals as part of its featured set!! Awesome!

20 Spirit of the Smackdown: Prepare For Battle!
Hello there Gaians! You all look so cute with your little Kin friends. You remember the lovely Kitsuko, Official Spirit of The Summer, right? I am the only real--

Hey shut your face, Kitsuko! I'm a summer spirit too! Maybe I don't have that fancy title, but who cares?! Quick, Gaians! Join me and we'll--

Oh, don't mind Taru. He's just throwing a tantrum because he knows I'm your absolute favorite! ♥ Anyway, I just stopped by to invite you to join us in a friendly competition!

-

Spirit of the Smackdown 2k15: 'Friendly'?! I think you mean brutal. Here's the deal, Gaians: Kitsuko and I both found this amazing abandoned temple. It's a great place: fancy gardens, stone bridges, the works. But I found it first. But Kitsuko here is acting totally cr-- OUCH!

Oh, did someone jab you with a pin? How unlucky. I think what Taru was trying to say is that I, all on my own, discovered an amazing temple! Although we've hard a hard time agreeing on the exact details of that event. Anyway, only one of us will get to live in this temple and make it a proper home, but first we'll have to rid it of all those pesky never-before-seen wild Kin that have infested the place! So we decided-- EW, WHAT IS THAT!?

It's a spider. And it's in your hair. Enjoy. Back to the explanation: We decided that we're gonna recruit Gaians just like you to team up with some special brand new Kin companions and take down the wild Kin! Here's a quick rundown on the challenge:


 * ✿ Team up with [Kindred] Kitsuko the Kitsune or [Kindred] Taru the Tanuki to defeat the wild Kin lurking within the new Zen Temple area! You'll get to keep these Kin after the event ends, so choose carefully.
 * ✿ Each victory you score with your Event Kin will earn points for your team in the battle for Zen Temple.
 * ✿ Be sure to check out the latest Manga Update for the full tale!
 * ✿ Visit the Event Forum to hang out with your fellow fighters to chat and exchange battle tips!
 * ✿ Keep an eye on La Victoire for exclusive event releases!
 * ✿ Participating in this event will score you new Achievements, new Kin, and TONS of amazing exclusive rewards!

Good luck on the battlefield, soldiers! Now join Team Tanuki and let's roll!

Wahhhh, how could you do that, Taru? Team Kitsune won't stand for this! You're going down!
