Quote of the Week
An eerie glow can be seen through some of the panes and you spot a cracked sign written with an ornate spidery scrawl: Lambie’s Solarium-Mutants, Misfits and Miscreants Welcome. You aren’t sure if you necessarily fit into any of those categories but decide to take them up on the “welcome” part. The large bolt on the gnarled wooden door unlatches with a little coaxing and a large creak. Once inside you remember why you initially sought this place as a soft warmth envelopes you. You look around and let your eyes adjust to the light mist that blankets the space as you ponder over the cacophony of croaks, chittering and peeps that fill the room. What exactly was this place?
Strawberry and Sunshine: Neopian Recipes for Summer!
It’s summer – you know what that means! I’ve got my sunhat on backwards, and I’m ready for a garden party! Or a picnic, or a camping trip, or a holiday in the sunshine. No matter what you’re doing, there’s no better backdrop to special moments this season than delicious food with fresh, seasonal ingredients!
I’ve looked to some Neopian foods for recipe inspiration, and have devised how you could serve these tasty, seasonal treats at your own sunshine-packed get-togethers.
However, before we begin; this is important! If you’re not old enough to be using knives, the oven or the hob on your own, ask a parent or guardian to help you. Then, when the cooking is done, you can all enjoy your spoils together out in the sunshine. What fun!

"A Song for You" by fallingdaybreak
It had been nearly ten years since Nagase had stepped foot back in Shenkuu. Ten years ago, the Great War of Shenkuu rocked the land to its very core, forcing a young Nagase to flee from the land he called home.
But tonight, no such war tore across the land. Instead, it was a time of festivities and joy. It was July 7th, the night of the Star Festival.

Scary sighed. “Are we going to barge in, or did we walk all the way here just to look at the ugly exterior?” asked the purple Bruce.

"The Uncanny Horticulturist" by sugar_head
You make your way along the outskirts of Neovia grumbling. Your pockets feel significantly lighter after a particularly annoying turn of events at the Apple Bobbing station. Why do you insist on still visiting that shady character Bart? That fast-talking charm of his gets you every time.
If your mood wasn’t foul enough, the dreary grey sky starts to dribble, adding dampness to the already chilly air. Fabulous. You shiver and continue your hike with the new goal of finding some shelter. Trekking towards the border of Neopian Central you spy the dark outline of a dome-shaped building through the trees. |
