Slime Not Included
Items
Get your party on with this pink snail party dress!
It will be stocking in Trash for Treasure for the next month, and will leave at 11:50pm October 4th, so you have plenty of time to pick one up even at a snail's crawl.
Please be advised that the item only works with the female HA - sorry fellas!

Small Changes
Site Update
Recolor Potions are stocking in the BP Shop for 10,000,000 BP. These allow you to completely recolor your Gen 1 custom, which is useful if you don't like the current paint job it has.
The Gender Potion is stocking in Unlimited quantity at 5,000 BP. It should facilitate easy gender changing for pets you own.

All the leaves are falling!
Site Update
If you received the above item from Trivia as a prize today, it was an error.
(Thanks a lot, database, for allowing two items with the same name to exist!)
If you obtained the Autumn Leaves Foreground (formerly Autumn Leaves) item as a prize, please send it to me as soon as possible, as this is a custom user item. Autumn Leaves Foreground items obtained via trivia and not sent to me will be deleted from your inventories, and I really don't want to have to send you a message telling you I obliterated something from your inventory. :C
Thanks for your help!
The item you should've received is the original Autumn Leaves.
Not as fancy or wearable, but might come in handy for raffles later this season!

Hooray, Hooray, Adventure Pets Have Arrived!
Pets
Congratulations to Zombie (#6562) for winning a Bronze Custom Crystal in our monthly Pet Coloration Submissions Forum Raffle!
A large batch of Adventure pets have arrived! Due to Scavenger hunt decreasing the amount of submissions, we missed a release date. But thanks to the large amount of submissions from users after we made a call for it, we are back on track! (Thanks everyone! <3)
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now released as a site pet please contact Kyu (#1010) for your free copy.

A wild Bramble Lunaris has arrived!
Pets
The bold Bramble Lunaris is the seventh in our series of thirteen inspired by Celtic tree astrology and coinciding with lunar months.
Those of you with birthdays from September 2nd* - September 29th will receive a copy of this feline on your special day as a gift from Aywas when you click the birthday link!
*If your birthday was today and you collected the previous Hazel Lunaris already but would like the Bramble coloration instead, please contact Kyu (#1010) and she would be more than happy to help you out. :3

Additional September Goodies
Site Update
September is Painted Predicts Appreciation Month! From now to September 30th 11:59 PM, PLBCs and PMBCs with predicts may upload a second baby as a reward for using the predicts system.
Please note that this is not planned to be a reoccurring event.
The Rock Custom Crystal has a new base! It seems pigs can learn to fly after all...
The Jeweled Crystal is sporting its new acquisitions as well!
Perhaps unsurprisingly, so is the Hybrid Jeweled Crystal.
A note about Tip Jars -- please remember that this is a way to support your favorite artists as they draw things they enjoy. The reward the artist is offering is an incentive but you should be donating because you want to encourage and support the artists, not solely because of the reward.

Welcome to September!
Site Update
Welcome to the month of September!
Take a seasonal stroll with one of our new GP Shop pets!
And enjoy the great outdoors with a BP Shop pet companion!
If you colored one of these awesome pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-September) so we have time to snag 'em for science!
The Essence of September 2014 is a cute little honey pot in honor of honey month!
Using this potion on your active pet will randomly change it into one of the colorations above. Try a drop and see what you get!
The premium monthly item is Phoenix Tree Roots, which can be applied to an egg, resulting in a random AD pet hatch!
We are on our sixth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series!
Remember, the Hazel Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through September 1st (today!), then a new birthday feline will take over!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!

Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes!
We are heading into a very busy season that all of our programmers, artists, and staff are preparing for, but I do want to make a few specific announcements. :3
- Scav judging is still underway! I'm not privy to the monster's progress, but I'm sure there will be a big announcement when the results are in.
- Azi requested that Fauna Day be pushed back a bit, so while I'll take care of the thread submissions and payouts soon, the actual event is rescheduled for November. I'll give you more specifics on that when I'm doing payouts and make an announcement.
- We still have some new user event surprises coming for you this month!
- Be sure to check out the news post below on Trillalings. They're staying with us a little longer than originally scheduled, but we're working on an alternate lineart, and you'll be able to vote in the raw concept contest this month.
- Coming off the heels of the Wild Teo event, our Flaming Apples are taking a break this year. However, we still have some apple-themed goodies planned for you this month, so keep an eye out!
- Speaking of Teos, we know the Teo Ticket still has to be changed over into an alcoholic drink, and are waiting on a functionality fix to release it. I appreciate you guys hanging in there and will let you know as soon as it's ready. The good news, though, that I'm really excited about, is that our alcohol system has been fixed (thanks to Tiff) and we're in the process of sprucing up our entire stock of alcoholic drinks! I will be making a separate announcement all about alcohol this month.
- October is a very big month for Aywas, as it marks the site's birthday and is home to our annual spooky celebrations. Per tradition, we will be opening up some pet submission threads in the coming days to help prepare for the festivities. :3
Here's to September!
(Slash will have our other monthly updates coming up. n_n)
