Time to Celebrate with Pets!
Pets
So this is a bit odd, huh? Explore pets on a weekday? Blasphemy!
But we had a very special reason to do so. ;)
Do you all remember the pet shop?
It's been a bit neglected recently.
So...
HAPPY MARDI-GRAS! 
In celebration of Mardi-Gras, we will be adding a few brightly colored pets to the pet shop!
They will be leaving the pet shop on Saturday March 3rd, so be sure to get them before then!
And without further ado - our explore pets!
If you designed one of the above, please contact us for your copy of the pet.
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Phanto, Reve, and Soli!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!
We're running low on Melo colorations so go submit before the Mauri-raptor appears!

Little Fixes!
Site Update
Up until now, if you wanted to use one of these bags, you had to send it over to me and I'd manually generate a random crystal for you since there was no "use" option.
That's now a thing of the past! You can now use this item directly from your inventory.
Enjoy! I know I will. XD
Arak Potion
This creepy-crawly potion of black can now successfully turn your pet into a random Arak coloration!
We still don't have too many Arak colorations, but the potion is there to use when you want.
Hippie Mushroom
This psychedelic mushroom now has a confirmation screen so that your pets cannot accidentally ingest it!
We also adjusted the settings on this item so that it can no longer give out Special rarity pets.
Now that Special rarity pets are under control, we can now finally do...
Conservation Pets!
I will be personally contacting all current owners of conservation pets that wrongly came from random potions, Hippie Mushrooms, etc. to work out refunds and then will be sending out the legitimate prizes! Thanks for your cooperation and patience through this snafu!

Art Gallery, Pets & Ara
Site Update
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Valentine's Day and we had a lot of fun, varied entries, but what really won me over were the lively portrayals. Lots of personality this week! :3 Thanks for all the great submissions! Here are our winners this week:
They also won:
Next week's theme is Serruls!
I also added some new themes to the Art Gallery page so you can plan your upcoming submission strategies accordingly.
February 26th - March 4th: Battledome
March 4th - March 11th: Robots
March 11th - March 18th: Fauna
March 18th - March 25th*: Spring*
Explore Pets
Mauri has a little something extra planned for her usual weekend pet release, so she's moved this week's release to tomorrow. I know I'm looking forward to that!
Ara Release
Slash and I reworked how we're going to release the Ara regions so that things flow more smoothly and make sense. Originally, one location was going to open every month until they were all open, but because that would be a little too overwhelming and we want to focus more on getting Adventure to work properly, we're tentatively setting the regions to open once every three months. That'll give us more time for pet/item and user submission prep, and hopefully we'll have the bugs worked out by then. So right now we're going to prepare for a new Ara region release in April!

I am extra excited to bring you these results because this is the first time I was able to run the winners myself.

1................................................2................................................3

Art Gallery
Site Update
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Famine in honor of our reigning Apocalypse Unus and we received a lot of well-done and interesting entries that really brought the character to life. Here are our six winners:
For their submissions they won:
The current running art gallery theme is Valentine's Day!
It is also a starred theme, meaning that even if you were a winner in the last few weeks, you're still eligible for this one. :3 Good luck!

Space Marine Veteran's Day!
Site Update
Brought to you by Nyoko (585) and a Slashbot!
Ladies, gentlemen, and extraterrestrial lifeforms, today we honor Space Marine Veteran's Day. It is on this day that we preemptively honor the deaths of our Aywan space soldiers against the alien hoard in the far dystopian future. Let us remember the day of our solemn victory in advance, and remember our unborn decedents and what they will probably sacrifice for their freedom. Also, it's commemorating the birthday of some little punk named Nyoko, but who cares.
Let the Space Marine Veteran festivities begin!
Nyoko is running a pretty rad story contest here! If the prospect of ridiculous galactic wars wasn't inspiring enough, she's dangled this pretty space creature as an extra incentive for the winner:
In true Aywas celebratory fashion, we are releasing a smorgasbord of goodies!
You'll find everything from food to fauna to collectables and even clothing now stocking in the BP Shop for today only!
The most coveted of these galactic trinkets is the Mysterious Chemical Injection, which will change your active pet into one of these colorations!
And what Slashbot Event could go off without an awesome free silver pet!
Free Space Kitten SCCs
Click to Enter!
The thread has a link to the PSD as well as rules for submissions.
Have fun coloring and be sure to get your kittens in by February 16th at 3 a.m.!
Happy Space Marine Veteran's Day!
Be sure to thank Nyoko for putting on this event for us and enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day--part II!
Site Update
We will be having a Love Spectacular Finale during the 24 hours prior to the Seasonal Shop closing next week. I'll be hosting little raffles, contests, giving out some random online prizes and will also be adding some limited items to the Seasonal Shop that day. So that's something fun to look forward to! I'll give you more details about that as the day gets closer, so send those letters out in the meantime!
What would Valentine's Day be without some super cutesy clothing?
It's time to reveal the newest collections to hit the fashion scene around Ay! Introducing the Pretty Pink and Heart collections with a couple standalones, all of which will be permanently restocking in various shops. Here's a sampler of what's in store!
In true Aywas Seasonal Shop tradition, we're also bringing you some specialty HA items--all created by you!
The Trinket Box opens into a full set of stuffed animals, neck accessories and holdables all depicted here:
Next up is a pile of Pink Silk Sheets that, when given to the right hands, can probably be turned into some pretty stunning clothing.
When you use this item, you will receive a full set of these pinkilicious items!
If you're looking for a more sultry statement, then the Rose Petals might be for you!
When you run naked through these falling petals, you will suddenly find yourself covered not in flowers, but some revealing nighties and accessories~ The set includes a light pink set for perky fun and a dark set for unspeakable mischief!
And finally, for our more modest lovers, we have the Love Grows Wardrobe.
This classic wardrobe transports us back to 1930s clothing classics to give your HA modest appeal for their date or a day around town! When you open these dusty doors, you will receive the complete classic love set!
Not so keen on frilly pink things or Valentine's Day?
Then show off your angst by sporting some pieces from our new Emo and Dark Heart clothing collections--both permanently available in the shops around Ay. This is just a small sampling of some of the new black and red items you'll be seeing on a HA near you!
Awww, it looks like these pets aren't having such a great holiday. Why not go on a little Adventure to find them and maybe give them a new home to be happy about?
But you better be quick! They're probably going to go into hiding after the V-day week festivities end.
Incoming Adore-a-gram for you!
Oh, hello! :3 I just wanted to let everyone know that I delivered a gift for you all to collect any time on February 15th. Just visit the Advent Calendar any time tomorrow to claim your prize!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Site Update
Alright, you can come in now, but don't knock anything over! I seem to constantly be picking up fallen petals.
The Seasonal Shop is now officially open!
It will be open until February 22nd at 11:59 PM. Remember, you can still collect and send Love Letters throughout the week, so I expect to see a pink blur from now until then!
Even though I'm very happily taken, I still enjoy long strolls in the wee hours of the morning with you folks, so let's take a walk through the seasonal shop together and ogle the goodies. <3
Our first stop this year is to the Kissing Booth!
Using this item unlocks one of our more romantic achievements. *wink*
Taking a brief detour to the BP shop, you'll find a new item stocking there for a limited time!
Tell everyone how much you enjoy music by unlocking a forum title with your new Heartphones!
Already used your Love Letters or want to send something a little extra? Then you might be interested in the Cupcake Card.
This is a silly little item that you can send to another user to let them know you're thinking of them and that they are as sweet as can be, so you might want to put a few away for a rainy day when your friends can use some cheering up.
If you're looking for something to really sink your teeth into, unfortunately I'm fresh out of cupcakes, but I do have these other delectable delights ready for tasting!
See a food item here that you can't find in the Seasonal Shop? That means it is permanently in circulation and obtainable elsewhere. Enjoy!
Why not give your pet a special treat that they can't eat (well, hopefully they don't) with this adorable Lovebird fauna!
They'll never be lonely with this sweetly singing bird by their side!
In honor of Valentine's Day, we are also adding a few new things to the Trash Shop so that you can show your love and friendship toward one another all-year 'round. Introducing the Heart Balloon, Basket of Flowers, and Be Mine Teddy.
These items have no "use" beyond making someone feel good, but I'm pretty sure that's worth more than a lot of our functional items, so I hope you take advantage of them at some point.
Fancy settling down and reading this Love Story with me? It's a good one, so grab a Love Latte and pull up a chair!
This is a brand new breeding add-on that will give you cutesy offspring. :3
It is compatible with MBC, LBC, BC and HBC breedings. All offspring produced from a breeding with this add-on can have a Valentine/cutesy color palette and the babies from BC/HBC breedings can have the bonus of Valentine/cutesy edits!
Come on, Eri, enough with the gooey love stuff, where's some practical items?
I'm glad you asked, because we have a new battle set this year, but you'll have to work with me here since Cupid had to have his hands in it. Introducing the Enchanted Bow and Heartwing Shield, handy tools on the battle field.
Love Potion #9 has returned this year with some old, familiar faces as well as new ones that are in need of lovin'! This potion allows you to create customs on special Valentine's Day lines and gives you up to 50% edit room. The Melo and Oske lines are still available (here), but we're adding two new genuses to the gang!
Meet your new V-Day Kaba and Phanto lines!
(Click the images below to download the corresponding PSDs.)
Mauri was having a little too much fun in the staff break room and somehow these emerged, so here are a couple coloring examples. Have fun making your own!
Now onto site pets!
Yes, there are a lot to collect, but when you see them all, I think you'll be glad you have the chance to own some of these beauties. Don't forget that even though these pets are AD, they are still obtainable with MPTs, Glittering Rocks, etc.
The Rose Potion will turn your active pet into one of 10 possible hybrids.
Here's a few examples of what could bubble up out of the potion:
The Floral Perfume is a potion that will turn your active pet into either an uncommon, raw or token pet with 8 colorations available. Here's a few of them!
There are a whopping 18 pets for you to also collect in the Seasonal Shop.
However, I did you a favor and bottled them all up in this cute Lovespell Potion which can be found sitting pretty in the Trash Shop to help you with your pet-collecting endeavors.
Here are a few of the pets hanging out in the Seasonal Shop and the Lovespell Potion!
But whoa whoa! *stomps feet* Eri, where are all the clothes!? Where are the rings? You're holding out on us!
Teehee. Yes, yes I am.
Advent Prize, Clothes, wardrobes, Engagement Rings and other big-ticket items still to come in PART II of our Valentine's Day spectacular!
If you know there's something you really want and it's already in the seasonal shop, go for it, they won't be changing prices!
If you want to wait until everything is available to make your buying decisions, then sit tight until this evening.
I'm sure you can find something to keep you busy, like sending more Love Letters and coloring Kabas.
Have fun for me while I'm at work and make sure you spend time with someone you care about whether it's a boyfriend/girlfriend, a family member, coworker, friend, or even a stranger. Everyone can benefit from good company. :3
Happy Valentine's Day!
I really hope you enjoy the festivities, a lot of heart went into this. <3
