Unearthly beauty and the fearful power of time await you this May. Become one of the the exotic Oriental mermaids, the
Ningyo. Or become a master (or mistress) of one of the fabrics of the universe itself - one of
Time's Titans.
Ningyo
Legend has it that if you eat the flesh of one of these beautiful ocean people, you will live for as long as one of them - adding hundreds of years to your own life and growing no older than the day you tasted that first bite. However - your life
will be cursed...
But who wants to live well on forever as a cursed human? Why not swim the seas as one of the exotic ningyo themselves? You have your choice of either koi patterns or pearly white scales if you don the tail or headdress. You may become a little more fishy by equipping fins on your arms or hips. Gentlemen ningyo in particular may choose to wear the long whiskers. Ladies may wish to wear the shell bra that comes with this set and either may choose to gird their waists with pearls. Carp in either pearly or koi patterns will swim around you.
Time's Titan
Why escape from time when you can master it yourself? Cronus was the first to master time, but if you're strong enough to match the original titan of time, you may wield his scythe, carry his hourglasses and generally amuse yourself manipulating the strands of the universe.
When Cronus began manipulating the world, all he needed was his scythe to cut a strand here, or slash whole ages there. You may wield his normal or cursed scythe. When humans began to understand time, one of the first instruments of time-keeping was the hourglass. Cronus embraced the devices wholeheartedly, virtually collecting them - you have several of your own now. The next age was the time piece - the clock. He prefers to wear one around his neck (who knew Father Time was into bling?) and still shuns the digital clock. Now that you are "Father Time" - are you old or young? Those who have the inclination may change their ages as they wish - growing intimidating eyebrows and beard at either a youthful black or an aged white.
To obtain the
Ningyo and
Time's Titan Contribution Items, you will first need to
purchase some Mennies using either PayPal, credit card, SMS/text, or by sending an order via snail mail. Once you have your Mennies, take a trip over to our
CI Shop and trade your Mennies for the items you would like! If gold is your only option, wander over to the Exchange forum or
Marketplace. Whichever method of grabbing these items, you'll want to hurry before these items leave the CI Shop forever on May 31st!
