"Well, well, well. Hello my wonderful and most spookiest mhoatlings! Seems like it's my season to shine!!! I hope you lovelies are ready for the best season and the best seasonal event! Welcome to the Slumbering Feast everyone! I hope you enjoy your time during it~"

"Like the previous events, The Slumbering Feast has a unique currency as well, which you can earn by participating. There are also four new traits, as shown above, alongside some adorably haunted pets. As well as the final seasonal shop, the Fall Shop! I'd like to note that you can get a special little plushie badge- I mean trinket! If you join in on the costume pageant~ It was noted that the badges were more trinkets so we had a little fix for that! We also have a trinket for those who join in the base event as well! With a note about the shop, make sure to stop by once a month during the event to claim a free lil tricky treat bag~ I heard it has some wonderful goodies."

"I'd also like to point out that officially all Vabbit traits now have images! Polybios claims he got most cases written and detailed out so be sure to take a look at them! Their eggs [MYOs] are officially in the General Shop as well, if you are looking forward to getting a Vabbit of your own~ Which, speaking of traits, I'd like to mention the new Visual trait guides! They are an easier way of seeing all traits at once for a species. You just need to go to the species page and under each specie's name is the guide. For some quick link though:

Mhoat Visual Trait Guide - https://www.mhoats.com/world/species/1/traits

Vabbit Visual Trait Guide - https://www.mhoats.com/world/species/3/traits

Which I'd also want to note that there is a minor update regarding the Minor and Major Redesign Potions, which you can see in their descriptions. Alongside that, you may now use the Masterlist updates prompt to give your pets titles as well~ Now onto the prompt! Which to say, the Anniversary prompt is now closed alongside the gift will be removed, thank you lil mhoatlings who joined and I hope you had fun!!"

"OHO What's this? Beside a little Serval nabbing food! This is some new amazing art~ That's to say, welcome Oboe to the team! They are the new Official Artist that'll be helping and seen around more. I hope you enjoy your time here and I hope everyone welcomes you~ Which back to that Serval, if you include them in your prompt image stealing all the food or some, you'll get a bonus! Luckily my old bones don't need food or I'd be quite mad at this little cutie. Oh! I did want to say that if you missed your chance to fish, we caught a lot of little fishy pets, so pop on by the pet shop to get your own~"

"Now onto this month's raffle! We have another lil mhoat to give away. I'd also like to say, Inkcess, has won the previous Mhoat that was for Raffle, and Andie, has won the Kelpie MYO!

"Last minor note before the lovely art is that some of the Summer Advent Adopts have been changed to OTA/some got lowered prices. So be sure to check them out~ Now, here is the wonderful art for the month as well!"

"My dear sweet lil mhoats! Let me tell you lovely lil guys why I haven't given you the monthly news!!! I know, I know, I should be on top on things but Polybios had came up to me during the end of last month with some exciting news! As the primary historian and researcher, he was making note regarding the new turtonic and found a slightly larger turtonic passing with a new species!!!! As stated by Polybios themselves:

'We don't know much about this species, as they came in a bunch, off of a medium scaled turtonic that was passing by. They seem to be very chatty and calls themselves 'Vabbits'. While they seem to have limited speech or at least they are very blunt, they claim the ones who made them talked very similar to them. Upon asking who had made them, it was met with the response of 'Yel and Myn'. Normally while this would be hard to believe as the two have not been seen in hundreds of years. The speech makes it more convincing as per the two would not have anyone else to talk with. More research will be done.'

But after spending so much time there, Polybios had kicked me, poor lil Inkwell, out!! Something about having news to go tell which I do! But still, so harsh!"

"Well, I love my job and I like doing it even if I can't stay and see all the exciting things while it happens.... Anyways, I'll get into telling you some new things for sale! There is now a Minor Redesign item, made for smaller changes to a design and allows a bit more wiggle room on updates! It'll be set in the general shop. Alongside that, Polybios had notified others about a new item called the 'Kelpie Mantle', it works to turn an Aquatic into the Kelpie species subtype!! How neat! It'll be sold in both the general shop and the First Light Festival Shop. Which before mentioning the last new shop item, I'd like to point out that Halloween GA Applications are open till the 8th so sign up if you haven't! As well as, the masterlist updates submission now includes the option to request for designs to be reverted to their previous appearance."

"Now! Because of the new species and them causing distractions! Those rascals, we missed the 7th anniversary of mhoats!!!! That brings me to the last item that'll be added to the shop, a fake cake box, locked with some goodies of sorts. It'll be available for free in the general shop and you can only nab it once. It'll be up for a limited time, for a month, so nab it quickly! There is also a new prompt to celebrate the anniversary and nab yourself a neat award for doing so! Alongside a raffle!!!!! Which please keep reading for the details on that~"

"With that our other main prompt is fishing! I heard that each time you try you nab a lil pet~ Which is so neat because I personally have some of the Nyanemone that they catch in a personal tank of mine. They are just so cute! I may have been catching some myself, I do prefer the indoors but those Nyanemones steal my skeletal heart! RIP"

"Now onto this month's raffle! We have another lil mhoat, a lil snowcone buddy to cool you off! I'd also like to say, Oboe, has won the.. uh.... previous Mhoat that was for Raffle.

"We've recently had a few sales going on and I'd like to point out all the lovely lil mhoats out to snaggle! They are all so fun and cute, makes me want to write all about them~ Though I am only told to mention them as to not make the news post about 50 thousand pages long... Along with the sales, we have found a new subspecies! The kelpies!!! I heard that they are being researched as of now! Hopefully I'll have more information to report on as your lovely newscaster, Inkwell!"

So beware the preclaims post~ You may want to jump at it if you find a theme that you like!"

"Did I say 'beware'? Hmm. I did! You should beware some of the spooky stories that are being told around campfires lately~ Some mhoats are having camping nights or camping on the beach and telling stories in general! It seems quite fun!! You know I was a writer before I became the Newscaster? That was until I joined here. I still need to clean the old Newscaster bones out. Maybe I should should them off during the campfire tales! I kid, I'd probably be fired for that."

"Let me start with a small technical detail. We now have new aliases for authentication purposes, which means you can now use Twitter or Tumblr to join the site. So please tell your friends to join, if they couldn't before! Our mhoat admins also picked out the Guest Artists for the Summer advent and they are working on designs now. I hope you all are ready to see some lovely new adopts soon! I, your lovely guide, would also like to point out that the Spring event is ending soon!! You only have until the end of the month to join in and get the new badge and the currency. Otherwise, you'll have to wait till next year."

"Happy April lil' mhoatlings!!! The News was a bit late due to some unforeseen events. You see, your poor guide, Inkwell, here got fooled. Poor little me!! I couldn't believe it so I took the day off."

"Let me begin with some technical things. You can now open up MYO slots from your inventory. This does replace the need to use the MYO prompt, although the prompt will remain open. Mainly in case anyone requires extra assistance for it or gets an error on their MYO. We also have a small quality of life update for when you add traits. They are all sorted into the categories that they belong to! On a minor note, some of the Aquatic's traits now have art."

"We also do have a new prompt open to enter for, so be sure to take a look! It's about exploring nature and seeing what it has to offer. Not much for me to write about though myself, I prefer the indoors!"
