"Hello my dear Mynrosians! It seems the creepy and wonderful season of Fall has fallen upon us~ I'm glad I got back in time to announce it! So much has happened and I was out being worked to bones! I see now why the old newscaster is only bones now...... Anywayssss, Let's dive right into a cozy sweater and get started on today's news!!!!"

"To begin, I got to point out the Slumbering Feast Shop as I hear there is a free lil' goodie waiting inside~ Alongside some wonderful new little pets. They both like to light up the night, I hear! We also have some spooky new traits that you can sink your roots into~ There are two awards for the season as well so make sure to join on in for the cauldron surprises, so you can snag everything you'd like."

"There are some minor news for updates as well:

• There is now a copy character code button on all character pages!
• Magic has been temporarily taken down, we just wanted to fix it up a bit better! Our apologies!
• There is a new Magic Schema page for every character and more will be updated on it.
• The gallery has been resorted to look much nicer.
• When adding traits, the difference tag was lost but now has been re-added!
• There is also a new Oracle Task now up, it's time to collect some Starlight Ash.
• More traits and items have descriptions now, as they should.

With that, on to the prompt~"

"Speaking of being worked to the bones, since the Celestials, Myn and Yel, has left. I've seen quite a lot more of magic around. It was just a common thing for scholars to learn but now? It seems everyone has been trying to get their paws n' claws on! So much so, that even the magic that some cannot learn, they have been going around and creating art of possible 'what ifs'. This time I've been seeing so much art of a new 'what if', of what seems to be a water magic using Vabbit! How neat~ Some even seem to make them look like lil' siren Vabbits. If you'd like to send some of your art into the news station, we could share it next time we go live!! So please send your art in. "

"Now, do take care this wonderful and creepy Fall everyone~"

"....-uys want me to keep doing this, maybe hire me ahead of time and not get me as a last minute host.. what do you mean the mic is already on, I'm not even properly in the booth y..." A sigh could be heard. "...Well then.

HELLO FANS EVERYWHERE! As you probably heard I just now basically got dragged in here because our resident pile of dry bones is still out and about.. wait, does that.. Yeah, yeah. Okay, the camera is STILL missing in action. Of course. I'll just stay the anonymous secret announcer, I suppose. Now let's see here, what kind of news is ther.."

"THE CELESTIALS ARE REAL?! THEY ARE REALLY HERE OUT AND ABOUT, MEETING MHOAT AND VABBIT ALIKE?! Oh, OH, OHHHH, NOW I GET IT. Pretend it was some fake crap last month, so that I can get humiliated.. Sheesh. I bet that meeting the actual gods of our world left that skeleton nothing but an ACTUAL pile of dry bones, huh.. I guess that other old man must've catalogued the gods properly at this point. Bet that stuff with the statues won't be happening again, now that we got accurate info on what they look like..

Either way, Yel and Myn.. Wow. The actual Celestials. And according to this.. they're basically going with whomever catches their attention, and.. they are giving out little pets to whomever they meet? Agh, I want one of those.. I wonder how they manage to go from island to island so fast, though.. They did kind of arrive without much fanfare, nobody noticed until they were already among us.."

"As for that whole magic surge last month.. apparently that was because of the Celestials as well. Kind of obvious in hindsight. Those lucky enough to have been caught in it found themselves capable of using very low level magic.. Others will have to to learn the base magic primer first.. Whew.. Looks like there's an entire complicated system set up. You can find more information about this in our info section on Magic in Mynros.

I guess that's what Skylar has been doing last month, but it's very technical.. I bet it'll be fine tuned over time, when people get more familiar with magic. Besides, I'm fairly sure that this basic Primal magic isn't the end of it.."

"On a more distinct note, the anniversary of our realm had kinda come and gone, likely overlooked because of the magic surge and the celestials.. Kinda hilarious in hindsight. There's a freebie over at the General Store and you can get your own little octopus plushie with a small task. Because this kind of went by so secretly, it's been decided that this will run until the end of this month, rather than for only a scant few weeks.. I don't know who makes these decisions, but I like it!

Oh, and the Oracle is out again. . . though there were some new items in the store for a few days, they're already gone.. Well, they'll likely be back eventually. But I do have another note that the demand for elemental items is still on-going. I wonder what the plan is.."

"On a final note, I have a formal apology for the slow updates and such.. not sure from whom or what updates they're talking about.. Ah well. The reason I am given is that apparently everything was exceedingly busy the past few months, and such the timeframe for things have been pushed up.. Uhh.. Okay? I guess??

Let's just move on. I should be wrapping up about now.. if it weren't for our monthly spotlight! Did one of your pieces make it in?"

"...Now, if I'm gonna be hired again, there'd better be some refreshments in my dressing room.. and, maybe.. fix this camera situation?? You guys spend like 15 minutes on getting me ready for the camera and there ISN'T EVEN ONE! Who is running this show??.. Ah.. right.. Sorry about that, fans.. Let's just say, I got a bit of work to do off-camera."

"Pap out~!"

"...Well, well. Didn't expect to be ALLOWED in here, let alone requested, after having to break in last time. Of course that old bones took the camera with 'em, something about recording an historical event with another old mhoat.." *cough* "Anyway..

HELLO FANS EVERYWHERE! I am. NO LONGER hiding from the authorities and am only wanted in the ways of being a good news host!.. Or at least, a good replacement, and this is a week late.. Not my fault, though! But I'm still annoyed that we got no working camera. Again, my handsome face is hidden, and I'm all by my lonesome in this booth.. Alone with some JUICY TIDBITS, that is! Let's sum this up!"

"So, I'm assuming this 'historical event' the bones and the historian are looking to record is this surge of magic?? Folk just abusing a stronger flow of magic to have basically the magic equivalent of a snowball fight in summer. And apparently there's a.. what does this say.. Yel and Myn.. What, some historical re-enactment or something? As if the most important celestials would show up out of the blue for a First Light Festival.. Sure.

Anyway, it seems folk who are empowered by this surge of magic seem to truly have an easier time using magic. Even those who left the radius of the effect.. and our local magic buff.. uh.. Skylar, I think? They seem to be working on something related to all this. Hope it doesn't leave their shop unattended, I haven't done my groceries yet.."

"Oh yeah, speaking of shopping! The Oracle is back! If you didn't help 'em out last time around, be sure to do it this time- that shop of theirs has some interesting goodies, and without a key you don't have entry. The stock seems a bit more limited than last time, but I heard something about new stuff? I guess the shop's stock is whatever the Oracle brings with them when they finally return.. Means that you just don't always get what you want. Hmm.. That seems to be a common thread in that shop, huh.."

"I guess this is where ol' Inky would start telling y'all to have a good day or something, but I found another minor update to mention- something about.. uh.. 'clicking the ellipses on any page navigation revealing a page selector'? It says it's a 'site update', but I have no idea what that means."

*fingersnap noise* "Anyway, last up is our little gallery of spotlights for the last month- let's see who made it in there this time!"

"Whew, wasn't that great? I wonder when they'll hire me next.. or if I gotta intrude on my own.. Guess only time will tell!"

"Pap out~!"

"Hello my dear Mynrosians! It seems that summer is here once again to melt the flesh off your bones, I know that I don't got to worry about that myself~ But please, do take care and make sure to not overheat or melt this summer! As I would miss you terribly quite so if you did!!! Other than summer hopping on by, it's also now June!!! I heard that many forms of pride are celebrated this month, so I hope you all have a good time being proud of yourselves for all the small things and the big things. Take it from my old bones, you are all made wonderfully~ So let's be proud of you and of others!!!"

"To begin, let's go about the seasonal event! It's now time for the First Light Festival and all that it lights up. As it lights up quite a bit~ Such as the Grand Light Display and the new Glow-in-the-Dark Vabbit Plates and the many lights that are set up around. So it's actually quite bright and really brings out the light in things. Hehehe!!

Although, we should hop on a lesser bright note, it seems the beaches have been cluttered up! Many forget to clean up and it's up to us to help out our lovely turtonics by cleaning this mess up. There are even some awards being given out to those who decide to help out. That's alongside the base award that's being given to those who join in the First Light Festival.

With another note, there are two new summer pets, but, that's not all! It's seems there is a mass invasion of cute lil' prideful pets in the pet shop! Not only that!!! But they knocked down some merchandise during their invasion. While most was picked up and accounted for, I was told there are still 6 colorful bracelets still missing. Please check out the Scavenger Hunt information below-"

"There are some minor news for updates as well:

• The site has now been updated to PHP 8 as well as to LK 2.1.2.
• There are still open adopts, alongside new ones from the World Baking Day set!
• There is also a new Oracle Task now up.

With that, on to the prompt~"

"With last months debate between many vabbits and mhoats, it seems someone in the chaos decided to vandalize the statues! If anyone has information regarding the individual(s), please notify Vin, the one in charge of the events and the one paying for the statues. Then notify me, as I would love to interview them! It would be such an honor to be able to record the details of these events as they happen in extreme detail~"

"Now, do take care this summer and happy pride month everyone~"

"Well, hello to all of my favorite Mynrosians! So the news was delayed due to an unfortunate fight breaking out... To explain it, the First Light Festival is just around the corner and with it, comes the festival for the oldest celestials, Yel and Myn. As I was told from Polybios and other sources, it seems the newly arrived Vabbits believed in the opposite of what we, Mhoats, do. As they believe Myn is the Celestial of Space and Creation, and Yel is the Celestial of Time and Death.

Now Polybios has told me there are old legends saying the same!! What a wonder! I do believe these guys are telling the truth, but it seems many do not!!! I guess this is the first real issue between the new arrivals that claim to know our oldest Celestials and the ones who've been here for ages. There's been four full days to calm the situation, but tensions are still running high. I do wish this will all calm down soon... Though despite my lack of eyes, even I can see that it won't. So please be safe and listen to those around you, no matter what they say."

"Here are some other minor news for today:

• We're also now running on a newer version of Lorekeeper!
• On your user profile, there is the minor addition of an icon next to your alias, alongside the fact that you can now see all the other aliases by clicking the arrow next to it. (If, at least, you have more than one alias.)
• Character inventories now match user inventories, and all categories can be closed if needed.
• The Oracle is now out! Beware, prices in their shop have risen considerably and most of the stock seems to be gone..
• The Oracle's Quest is also gone, but there is now a new Task! So you'll still be able to get Sporepuffs!
• Speaking of the Oracle's Task! We now have an icon for them!
• This is also the last month for the scavenger hunt!! So be sure to get all of the prizes before it's no longer around.

With that, please take care and have a wonderful month~”

URGENT NEWS UPDATE!!

"We've received word that some items are getting a price reduction! Something about market value.. I'm not an economist, so I wouldn't know, I can't even count my own bones!

Ah, of course.. Pricing for Oracle Shop items do not reflect when the Oracle is not in.."

"Hello to all of you wonderful lil' mhoatlings! I heard there was quite the commotion going on yesterday! As it seemed someone left a bunch of lil' presents on everyone's doorsteps!!! They had these weird mhoat looking creatures inside, it was quite the scene to see!! With all of these new lil guys running around, I swear they seem familiar though... I dunno, as if they are a reference to something I know of.. hm... BUT, perhaps not! I mean, what's so boaty around here? It's not as if the turtonics are like giant mhoat boats, carrying us all around or something! So, let's hop right into the news and forget about that weird day!"

"Here are some minor news for today as I have a guest to introduce soon! As it goes:

• The GA signups have officially closed and the GAs have been picked, so good luck to the GAs!
• Likewise, the DTA event is now closed for submissions and we will betaking a bit longer to decide on the winners! There are just so many wonderful entries to pick from!
• The little bank boxes on user profiles now looks neater! They are set to displaying only caps and any currencies that you own!
• For the Raffle, FNGaymer has won! Congratulations!!! There won't be a raffle this month though but I hope you enjoyed the designs so far!

Without further adieu, may I welcome the wonderful Oracle in! They have quite the tale to tell~”

"Oh, Inkwell! Giving me a moment in the spotlight, aren't you a dear! Hello, my fellow Mynrosians, I have returned from my winter travels with a wonderful surprise for you all! I have opened a shop! Where, you might ask? Why, everywhere! You'll all see very soon, I'm sure, just follow that string of energy that draws us all toward our fate.

So mysterious, it's true, but those who find my shop will quickly find rewards and fortune at their very fingertips. However, these things rarely come easily and so you'll have to do a small favor for your dear Oracle first.

Yes, it's simple! Just perform a small quest for me and in return, you will have the key to my shop. It's not an actual key, no no that would be unwise... _{there is so much that could happen to an unsuspecting Mynrosian when I'm not in the shop, oh dear!} Just a small trinket, enchanted to clear the sights of illusions that hide the shop's true nature.

Now, I'm not in the shop at all times as I have to travel to restock my wares. Fear not, as my delightful shop assistant, Leander, handles all the smaller requests for materials, should you speak to him you will find the requests easier, but in return for lesser rewards and new customers will have to wait to receive a key. Fortunately, there is no time limit on his requests, so even the busiest mhoat can seek out a reward.
I'll be attending the shop for the entirety of this month and then I'm off once again to discover new delights to share with you all. So do be quick if you'd like a key to purchase all the fantastic items I have in stock. Those who dally will have to wait for my return and miss out on some items that are set aside during my absence. The prices do increase as well, oh dear, well those are the troubles of a limited supply, aren't they?

Fortunately, my potions are always available but to avoid selling out I have packaged them unlabelled so you can never be quite sure what you will receive. Even though I am not always certain, my they do all resemble each other, don't they? Open a box and drink it down, and you'll quickly find yourself uniquely transformed! Oh isn't that fun?

Random potions are a gamble, but every twist of fate sends us in a new direction. So, be patient dear Mynrosians and perhaps the future will allow for potions made on demand."

"To end it all, I, Inkwell, wish you all good luck and I hope you have fun with these prompts~"

"Well! Don't you love that spring time air! Turns out the hospitals found the cause for the love-struck sickness that was going around. It was a lil' Lovebug Angelfly that was found to be biting folks. There's now a cure for it going around after one of the lil' bugs was caught. So it should be fine going out and about now for the Spring Festival that's now in town!"

"Seems like with the Spring festival, we also have more critters out and about! I heard from the Event manager Vin, that their sibling is even running a petting zoo with all the new buddies and more. I do plan to go myself and pet all the Cattypillars!! Which were the previously named “Cat”erpillars, turns out the local taxonomists wanted to rename them into a more fitting name. Alongside that, there are some other activities to participate in~ I had heard some mhoats are having fun dragging vabbits out to the local temples to write down wishes and both sides do seem to be having fun fulfilling those wishes too. It's always nice to watch as this happens. There also seems to be a Scavenger Hunt going down and you can earn a lil' award from it! So be sure to look up all the fun events going on and take care!"
