Ah spring! The seasons change and with spring comes nature's verdant treasures. Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and the air is lousy with pollen, which really just flares up my allergies like nobody's business! ... But I digress.
The aforementioned treasures aside, this time of year also signals the annual spring cleaning amongst Menewsha's many merchants. It seems though that our naughty shopkeepers have tarried far too long. Summer quickly approaches and now they're in a mad dash to straighten their stock.
The Mayor left it to the mod staff to help the shop owners out. We all drew straws, and well... my compatriot here and yours truly came up short. Now we aren't the neatest folks, so it's no surprise that Belly and I weren't too happy.
But that's where you good folks come in.
Tie on your aprons and get out your dust rags, cause you're helping us clean!
:D
No, wait! Don't go away! We promise to make it worth your while. Under the dust waits a multitude of goodies. Lend a hand and anything you find is yours to keep.

So you've decided to help us, then? Excellent! It's really quite simple. All you will need to do is choose a square in the grid each day, & use the form under the image to post your number into this thread. At 9 PM Pacific, the job for the day will end -- we'll let you know the results shortly afterward, send out any prizes you may have won, and post the next day's job (which you can get started on right away if you wish). There will be a total of seven jobs, each lasting 24 hours.
When all seven jobs have been completed there will be a special raffle, which will be explained in more detail in the next post.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Day 1 job will last a bit longer than 24 hours
Because we wanted to give people enough time to join up, and
since the event started mid-day Saturday, Job 2 will start Sunday at 9PM.
Only one account per person may play
You may use your main or mule, but not both.
Approved charity mules may play for their charities, however.
You must accept your trades promptly
After 30 days we will cancel any unaccepted trades and send those items to active charities instead.
Please check your trades so you don't lose your prizes! :3
The Day 8 job will end a bit early!
You have until the event forum closes to get your entry in, probably around 6PM Pacific.
Check the Event FAQ for more info.

In order to help motivate our helpers, we have decided to also hold a special raffle for a chance to win some extra gold & prizes. Anyone who plays at least one round will be awarded a free "ticket" to the raffle. In order to get more tickets, you'll have to find dust bunnies during jobs. Each job will have several dust bunnies hidden somewhere in the grid -- play more days for more chances to find them! :3
Once the event has concluded, we will draw the raffle and award prizes. You'll be able to find the results thread in Community Discussion shortly after the event.
Note: You can win more than one prize, but not of the exact same item (example: 2 Cloud Hibiscus blooms? No. One Cloud and one Tapi? Yes.)
& we have some new stuff! Thank you, Nalin and Lance!<3
(12x) Eggplant Hibiscus Bloom
(12x) Tapi Hibiscus Bloom
(4x) Cloud Hibiscus Bloom
(8x) Winter Nights Tour VIP Ticket
(4x) Totally IS Santa's Hat!

Q: Can more than one person clean the same square?
A: Yes! Many hands make light work! Or something like that..
Q: Can I win more than one prize in the Raffle?
A: Yep! We decided not to impose limitations on how many prizes folks can win overall this time & see how that goes. Note: The exception to this is that you can't win more than one of the exact same item (example: 2 Cloud Hibiscus blooms? No. One Cloud and one Tapi? Yes.)

That's right, Mene Monkeys, it's me, Peeblo. The smartest and most handsome guy on Menewsha. Didn't know I had a shop? You would have if you were smarter. Get cleanin'!
Paste this form into the thread to play:
Quote:
[SIZE="5"][COLOR="Red"][B]I want to help clean Peeblo's Store![/B]
I will clean in square # [ put your number here ]
[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Note: You have until the event ends Sunday - approx 6PM Pacific - to sign up for Job 8!
What a bunch of rubes! You guys bought that shop biz? You're more gullible than you look. But thanks for tidying up my bedroom, it's been a few years. Feel free to keep all the old junk you found. You might wanna wash the crud off 'em first.
Square #1 ~ Peeblo's Yule Log
Hope you guys enjoy my brown log!
Square #2 ~ Basic Red Panties
I forget what girl I stole these from.
Square #3 ~ Black Skull Shirt
Havin' a skull on your tummy is sexy!
Square #4 ~ Pink Jeweled Bows
I swiped this from Vicky's dressing room, so I could tie it to Yumeh's tail. That furballs just too fast, though.
Square #5 ~ Large Bloody Needle
Now bend over.
Square #6 ~ Spilt Popcorn
No use cryin' over this.
Square #7 ~ Peeblo the Imp
A couple of you lucky chumps get to take me home.
Square #8 ~ Red Dragon Tattoo
I like tattoos cuz they make you look tough!
Square #9 ~ Black/Red Nightstalker Choker
Choker is such a cool name for such girly items.
Square #10 ~ Red Nightstalker contacts
I used these once to scare Cessy.
First day's job done! Nalin thanks you all for helping clean out Petal Paradise. Swept up a lot of old, dead flowers, didn't we? When we told him about that, he blushed a bit and quickly tried to change the subject.
As promised, any unwanted stock is finder's keepers. And look, it seems there was even some gold hidden away is the shop's dusty crevices.
Li Mei initially didn't think there was much to clean around her shop, as dust is quite unfashionable. But after a thorough scrub and sweep, she offers her thanks. ... She also suggested that Howdy go with a belt, to reign in that disheveled look.
We assumed that Lise would decline the offer to have her store cleaned, as the dust and debris adds to the macabre feeling of the shop. But she replied that a clean space is more conducive to summoning the dark forces.
Now let's see what gruesome treats we've found!
Square #1 ~ Love Taps Whip [choice of one color]
Square #2 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #3 ~ 3 gold?
I swear from the back room I head a low, sinister chuckle.
It was a bit hard to concentrate while under the gaze of that enormous snake,
with its beady eyes staring and its tongue flicking out at us, but somehow we managed to tidy up Menewshan Imports to Fatima's satisfaction.
Another job complete! Let's see what we've found..
Square #1 ~ 500g! :gold:
Square #2 ~ Sakura Yukata [Please choose one of the following colors: Red, Hot Spring, Black with Green, Black with Red, Blue, or Green with Black ]
When asked how the shop looked after a thorough clean, Lance replied, "Everything looks to be in tip top hat shape. Get it?" We said we did. "No I mean it," he went on, "my hat's off to you." Then we politely smiled and slowly backed out.
Now let's see what goodies await!
Square #1 ~ 800g! :gold:
Square #2 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #3 ~ Laurels [Sunlit, Moonlit or Starlit]
Square #4 ~ Bunny Headband
Square #5 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #6 ~ Winter Night Tour VIP Ticket
Square #7 ~ 500g! :gold:
Square #8 ~ 1000g! :gold:
Square #9 ~ Raoul Top Hat [Grey, White and Black, White, Black, Storm, Green, Dusty Plum, Grape or Red]
Square #10 ~ Duvalian Top Hat
Square #11 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #12 ~600g! :gold:
Square #13 ~ Nightstalker Bat Hairpin
Square #14 ~ Cloud Hibiscus Bloom
Nalin gave Lance some of these rare blooms for his shop, and had, up until now, misplaced them. Lucky for you.
When the job was done we happily reported back to the Toymaker that all the dust had been cleared out. He stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "It is not dust, my young friends, but the sands of knowledge. The accumulated knowledge of all that has come before and all that will come after." --- It was kind of a shame to haul all that knowledge out to the curb.
Now let's see what play things we've revealed!
Square #1 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #2 ~ 700g! :gold:
Square #3 ~ 900g! :gold:
Square #4 ~ Fireflies [Purple, White or Red]
Square #5 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #6 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #7 ~ 800g! :gold:
Square #8 ~ Dust Bunny [adds +1 Raffle Ticket]
Square #9 ~ Peeblo the Imp
Wait? How did Peeblo get in here? You might as well take him off our hands.
Spiky things, pokey things, and things that go "boom" ~ seems like a risky place to be wiping things down, but we managed to make it through the job without casualties. Though, it might be a while before Howdy can see colors through his left eye again..
