Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 5 Results
Events
"Oh my goodness, look at all of these little plush," Rowan commented, stars practically shining in her eyes. "You know, I've always heard about people collecting plush of their wives, but I never quite understood it until now," she continued as she smiled blissfully. "Thank you for your hard work; I'll be sure to find some use for all of these!"
Rowan walked off with a bit of a mischievous expression. Was there an ulterior motive to her creating a challenge where she could have many Minerva Plush..? The world may never know...
Congratulations to Rowan's Team for winning the final challenge! While there are no more challenges left to complete, the event isn't quite over yet! Please stay tuned for more information tomorrow, April 23rd! Feel free to rest, chat with your team, or return to your usual Aywas activities until then!

Exotic Pet Palace Stock
Pets
"As some of you may have noticed, my Exotic Pet Palace has received a new stock of pets! They're eager and awaiting new loving owners!"
In case you weren't aware, the Exotic Pet Palace is on a stock rotation schedule with the stock changing every 3 months. After the 3 months, the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So get them while you can!
If you want to have the chance of getting a design of yours into the pet shop, go ahead and submit them to the Pet Coloration Submissions forum. Most of the submitted designs will be put into Adventure, but some random designs will be kept to go into the pet shop!
If your design is now in the pet shop please contact Lacia (#25044) for your free copy. That's right, if your design is accepted and put in the shop you get a free copy. That could save you a good amount of BP!

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 5 Begins
Events
Despite everything seeming to be in order for the wedding, Rowan and Minerva stand before their teams, as they have for the beginning of the past challenges. Rowan's expression is nothing short of mischievous, while Minerva appears to be dreading whatever news they have to speak of.
"Thank you for you continued participation in Snapdragon Ceremony! It means so much to both of us that you all seemed invested in helping contribute to our special day," Rowan spoke cheerfully. "However, there is one last challenge for you all..." Her tone dipped down, as if she were beginning a horror story. "The last challenge is--"
"Wait, I'll tell them," Minerva interrupted Rowan, who began to pout slightly over not being able to recite her carefully rehearsed monologue. "You will have to... turn in Snapdragon for plush versions of ourselves," she began, preparing herself to deliver the bad news. "You will also have to... trade with the members of the opposing team."
"Oh come now, it's not that bad is it? It's all about making news friends, you know. Friends with plush benef--" Rowan was cut off by Minerva covering her mouth with her hand.
"I'm sure you'll find it annoying, but please try to help each other out, okay?" Minerva concluding, sighing heavily. Despite having volunteered to break the news, it seemed that it was not her idea.
It's the final challenge - and a challenge it is indeed! For this round, you will need to trade in any color Snapdragon for a plush version of your team leader. However, she doesn't want a plush of herself, but rather of her soon-to-be wife! You've worked as a team for the past few challenges, and now it's time to work together completely!
You will have until 6:30 PM AST on April 22nd to accumulate points for this challenge. This is also the final time that you will be able to convert your Satin Sheet and Stiletto items into Snapdragon, so be sure to keep an eye on the time!

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 4 Results
Events
"You haven't gotten tired of plucking all those snapdragon out of the ground, have you?" Rowan asked in a teasing manner. "I know it may be a hassle, but I promise it'll be over soon. After that, a beautiful wedding awaits!" she grinned, clapping her hands together. "Oh, but don't worry, we'll make sure everyone gets a little something for all the trouble."
Before giving any hints as to what the little something would be, Rowan quickly turns heel and heads off, seeming giddy.
Congratulations to Rowan's Team for winning the fourth challenge! Both teams will now be able to take a short break until the next challenge, which will begin at 6:30 AM AST on April 20th! Feel free to rest, strategize with your team, or return to your usual Aywas activities until then!

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 4 Begins
Events
The venue was now unrecognizable in its current finished state. What once had started off as a humble room lacking even tables and chairs, now was not only adorned with furnishings and food, but music and magic. Floating candles hung in various areas around the ballroom, giving a soft inviting ambient glow. Cold embers from the faerie lights drifted in the air, illuminating the most charming of the decorations - the magical waterfall. The water's source appeared from nowhere, but seemingly endless as it filled a small pond now located in the ballroom. A brilliant chandelier hung over the dance floor.
Minerva smiled at the decorations, seemingly everything coming out far better than even she had anticipated. Rowan looked as though she had stars in her eyes, simply in awe of how beautiful everything was turning out.
It was truly a spectacular feat of design, but more than that, it was slowly becoming perfect.
Rowan pulled out a small notebook, and scratched off another 'challenge'. Minerva glanced over, attempting to peek to see what all remained. Rowan closed it with satisfaction. All that was left, of course, was dressing the brides. "No peeking!" Rowan joked.
"It isn't peeking if it's part of a planned and coordinated event." Minerva posted as a counterpoint. But she had already figured that likely it was getting themselves ready for the event. Dresses, make-up, getting their hair done...
It is clear what must be done to help the two brides out!
"By the way, we have 'yeeted' anyone who hasn't been participating thus far!" Rowan announced, pumping a fist into the air.
"Rowan... Please never say that again," Minerva cringed, gently pulling Rowan's arm back down to her side.
As Rowan mentioned, all users who have not contributed for the duration of the event to this point have been removed from your teams. It seemed there may have been some confusion after the previous news post, so hopefully this will clear it up: as long as everyone is contributing, it should be easy for your team to make it to the next color!
You will have until 6:30 PM AST on April 19th to accumulate points for your team for this challenge.

Candy, Candycanes, Candy Corns, and Syrup
Site Update
That said, the staff of Aywas could use some help themselves and as such are making a call for Site Elves!
"But Account Number Two," you cry! "What's a site elf?"
Well, let's break it down since it's been a while.
Site elves are responsible for handling basic tasks on forums and with staff behind-the-scenes, including testing new features, greeting new users, answering help topics, and a whole lot more!
Once we feel an elf has progressed enough -- they're actively participating in discussions, active on the forums and PMs, and seem to have a pretty good handle on things -- then they'll be up for Moderator consideration and could be promoted if they want to be! Or, if they're more comfortable in the role they're already in, they can choose to stay a site elf. :)
"That sounds fun... But how do I apply?"
Excellent question and one I was hoping you'd ask! We have a nifty little Knowledge Base article that has all of the information needed to know the job and excel at it, as well as the application itself!
Just fill in the app found at the bottom of this article and email it in to [email protected]!
(If you sent in an application to the old, now defunct email, please resend it to the new one provided above!)
There is currently no deadline for sending in applications and no limit on how many staff is going to hire this round! We hope to see a few more green names around here soon!

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 3 Results
Site Update
"I have to say, I'm impressed with your determination!" Rowan grinned. "Thanks to your efforts, the ballroom is going to look so lovely... I know that Minerva will love it as well, even if she won't say it." She nodded slightly, then tilted her head to the side as if in thought. "You know, I hope she's doing alright. She takes a while to warm up to people, especially so after the greenhouse incidents."
With that said, Rowan wandered off. Perhaps she is going to check on Minerva.
Congratulations to Rowan's Team for winning the third challenge! Both teams will now be able to take a short break until the next challenge, which will begin at 6:30 AM AST on April 17th! Feel free to rest, strategize with your team, or return to your usual Aywas activities until then!

Exotic Pet Palace Warning
Pets
"Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that I'll be changing the stock in my shop come April 21st! So if you want to own any of these pretty pets I currently am selling in the Exotic Pet Palace, you should buy them before April 21st. On April 21st, they will be permanently retired and new pets will take their place."

Snapdragon Ceremony: Challenge 3 Begins
Events
The scents of the freshly made and delivered food hung in the air. The sound of ice being slightly crunched as champagne bottles were sat upon them could be heard. Rowan had her eyes closed and listened to the sounds and enjoyed the smells of delicious food. Her stomach growled in agreement.
Apparently loud enough for Minerva to even hear, as the normally broody gardener couldn't help but give a small, but fleeting, chuckle. She looked at the venue with some satisfaction, though it still felt...off. She looked at some of the balloons that had been collected earlier in setting up the venue. "Of course, it's missing some decorations." She mused softly.
Rowan immediately snapped from her midday daydreaming to look at Minerva, and follow her gaze. While yes, they had balloons, it certainly wasn't enough. Not for the Snapdragon Ceremony!
"We could definitely add some magical enhancements, and we'll need music!" Rowan added. She could already picture some floating candles and beautiful curtains to accent the place.
"There's also a nice assortment of foliage and herbs this time of year, brought in from all over." Minerva nodded sagely, thinking of things she'd like to see.
"Well, then we better get more snapdragons! Those decorations won't buy themselves!" Rowan chirped. Minerva wondered just how they hadn't picked Ay clean of snapdragons yet.
Once again, the challenges for this event will require you to collect different colors of Snapdragon. They will be available in pink, orange, green, blue, white, yellow, red, and purple. Your team leader, Rowan or Minerva, will tell you which color you will need to turn in. Be sure to work together and try to overcome the opposing team!
The ladies would like to emphasize working together - they have noticed some people have been taking naps instead of helping! If you have not participated since the beginning of the event and still do not participate by the end of this challenge, you will be removed from your team with no opportunity to rejoin. This is to ensure that it remains fair to all active participants.
You will have until 6:30 PM AST on April 16th to accumulate points for your team for this challenge.
