Here they are!

OMG I love the last one's costume! Also they have a slug creature now?

Oh no, the slug creature is a Usul painted Maraquan, like a sea creature.

Hm, weird...

Indeed it is! I have access to the lab ray.

What does that do? O. o

It's a secret thing that you have to pay potentially millions of neopoints for that you can use once a day to blast your pets to randomly change their color, gender, battledome stats, species, etc.

Hm, sounds special.

It is! It also took me a really long time to get all the neopoints for, but that's what playing the stock market is about.

I never really got into any of the special stuff when I played. I honestly didn't know what to do there.

Yeah, I really only log on to do the daily things.

Yeah, I used to just log on to feed it and get freebees and stuff.

Sounds like a fun item. :D

It's more like an unlockable? :o Something like that.

Ahh I see. My daughter used to talk to me all he time about that.

Whoa, I didn't know neopets could have costumes and backgrounds like that. Dayum.

But yeah, people go bonkers about it. If you get lucky enough to find a piece of the map, it's an easy 100k or so in your pocket.

Yeah chex! It's something they put in a couple years ago.

Haha, that's cool.
I always feel really nostalgic when I think about neopets, and I have an active account, but I doubt I'll ever go back to playing there. Just ain't got time (or interest) for virtual pets anymore.

I wonder if my niece would be into neopets, or if she would think it was dorky... *ponders*

Neopets has a very large cash shop, so just be wary of that if you do try to get her into it. :o

Ah yeah, that is a good thing to be careful about.

*nods in agreement* although I recall there are sometimes events and such that allow you to earn free neocash :) a good way to treat oneself

I ended up making an account. Everything lagged. x_o

lag kills

Morning all

good morning, zigalicious
