Blossoming Friendship Seasonal Shop
Site Update
With a flurry of petals, the Seasonal Shop has opened its doors!
Accepting Blossom Points from now until April 5th at 11:59 p.m.
Let's take a stroll through the amicable aisles and see what goodies await. :3
With the spirit of friendship in mind, we begin with a set of six fauna that are eager to become companions for you and your pets!
Everyone knows that the best get-togethers also have the best food--
--and drinks!
These edible hunger and energy items will help you power through late nights of movie watching, game playing and giggling.
(Note: The drinks are currently only energy items, and do not offer alcohol points. We are going to be doing work on our alcohol/drinking system to get it functioning properly, and may add alcohol points to these items in the future.)
Didn't pack any extra clothes for your sleepover? No worries, we have two brand new wardrobes for you!
The Falling Petals Sack contains six wearable pieces for your HA: Hair, Leg Warmers, Sash, Tights, Top and Skirt.
The Animal Friends Trunk contains a fun assortment of eleven wearable items for your HA. Includes: Turtle Hat, Turtle Backpack, Dog Tail, Dog Hat, Magical Bow, Teeny Wings, Mousey PJs, Chicken Tail, Chicken Cap, Squirrel Tail and Squirrel Bonnet.
You can preview all of the individual clothing pieces through the Preview Wardrobe feature before purchasing!
Want even more company? The Cherry Blossom Tree Potion will change your active pet into one of seven random hybrids inside this potion. All possibilities can be found in the item description, but here's a small sample:
Not in the mood for an evening with your friends?
Then might I suggest trying ...
... the Moodifier!
Our latest breeding add-on is compatible with BC and HBC breedings and will result in a "mood change" in the form of a small face edit or expression change.
If you would like to keep a souvenir from this event with you at all times to keep your spirits high, you might be interested in the Blossoming Friendship Theme! *Note: This item is currently inactive, but once it is activated, I will make an announcement.* As you might expect, this will permanently unlock a site background on your account--which is the puzzle image minus the characters. :3
Wondering what this mysterious Turtle Egg does?
If you were hoping you could create your own version of Reika and Lonesome George, you got your wish!
This item will enable you to create a Turtle Island SCC with up to 30% edits, but has limited time magic. Turtle Eggs will work through April 12, 2014 at 11:59 p.m.; after this time, the item will simply become a collectable.
*Click here for the Turtle Island SCC PSD!*
And for our loyal site pet collectors, make room in your lairs for 21 new pets!
Below is a small sampling of the cuddly creatures you will find inside the shop. :)
Need some help with your pet collection?
Fortunately, we have a Cherry Blossom Petal Bottle stocking in the Trash for Treasure Shop! This potion will change your active pet into a random coloration from the 21 pets in the Seasonal Shop.
Good luck snagging treats from the shop! Below please find a few timeline reminders to help with your event planning. :3
Seasonal Shop: Open now through April 5th at 11:59 p.m.
The Nominate a Friend and Tell a Tale forum contests end March 31st at 11:59 p.m.

As an additional gift from Giraki, please visit the Advent Calendar any time on March 30th to take home your very own Friend of Turtles Tee for your HA.
Cheers! We hope you're having fun and making some new friends. :3

Seasonal Shop Warning!
Site Update
This is your standard cautionary message to not purchase anything from the shop until I formally announce that it is open. Before I give you the green light, pets and items are subject to price and function changes, and we will not issue any refunds for premature purchases.
The goal is to have the shop open by 11:59 p.m. tonight, giving you a full week to buy your wares.
My internet has been a bit dicey today with our surprise spring snowstorm, so fingers are crossed!

Blossoming Friendship is in bloom!
Site Update
As every person and creature over all of Ay and Ara came out to see what all the white and pink flurrying was all about, they were shocked to find a giant turtle island nearby.
The members of Ay saw Reika:
While those from Ara saw Lonesome George:
Certainly a wonder to behold, you seem to remember the tale about island turtles bringing peace and happiness and friendship between the lands.
"If you collect enough of our petals, we will reward you greatly," they say. "We have showered your lands in them along with some special Friendship Crackers. Can you complete the puzzle of friendship before we leave?"
You will find Pink Cherry Blossom Petals in all Ay side Adventure locations. They are Very Uncommon (r40) items and each is worth 5 Blossom Points.
On the Ara side, you will find White Cherry Blossom Petals, which are Common (r20) and each is worth 1 Blossom Point.
To turn in your collected petals for Blossom Points, check in here.
These points will ultimately be usable in the Seasonal Shop, which is tentatively scheduled to open up on March 29th.
You can keep track of your Blossom Points on the blossom page (which we will be adding to the navigation shortly), and inside the Seasonal Shop for your convenience. c:
But you can find more than petals in Adventure this week!
Friendship Crackers are hard to find, but a lot of fun to open! Ultra Rare (r80) in all Adventure locations, Friendship Crackers are findable goodie bags with a twist--these items can only be used on other users (not yourself!).
When you choose a friend to use a Friendship Cracker on, they will be showered with: White Cherry Blossom Petals, three random items, and one of nine colorful Puzzle Pieces. Let's take a closer look at what your friend might find inside!
The three random items will be pulled from the following assortment:
I want to bring special attention to the Petals Friendship Necklace, which will unlock the forum title "True Friend" when used. All other items are edible!
Below you will find the nine colorful Puzzle Pieces:
If you are lucky enough to collect one of each, you can take the pieces to the Museum to claim your reward!
The Blossoming Friendship collection features the completed puzzle image of some friendly characters and will grant you a very pretty potion as your prize. :3
The True Friendship is Rare Potion will turn your active pet into one of three very special colorations--either a Vion, Finn, or Lunaris--at random.
Have fun gifting the Friendship Crackers you find to your old friends or new ones!
You will also encounter rather amiable pets on your Adventure. :3
Here's a small sampling of the creatures you will find!
There are 17 pets total in Adventure; check the Aywapedia!
In all the commotion, a turtle, a chicken, a squirrel, a dog and a mouse quietly went on the hunt for petals themselves, although they knew they had summoned the turtles of friendship with a Slashbot they had found so none of this came as a surprise. They wanted to celebrate their friendships, they gathered together with good food, great drinks, and all the wonderful pets they could find. Through a blossoming friendship, this event was brought to you by Giraki (#6653), Eyes (#12166), Teilchen (#34278), Death Squad (#7033), and Tooki (#42928) with a little help from others along the way.
As a note of thanks, we would like to formally thank all the users who took time to submit pets, items, and ideas to this event. We wish we could have used every single piece that was contributed, and regret having to turn away any entries or help. The raffle for the pet submissions thread will be held around the opening of the Seasonal Shop so there will be plenty of time to spend points won, and use of limited time items. - Giraki
