HIDDEN TOWER - Lately, for lack of something better to do, I've been worrying about the Hidden
Tower. At first the tower was filled with useful stuff: Wands of Nova, Zaptwigs,
and other dangerous items whose basic functions were to poke your opponent with.
These things weren't to be played with! The only 'toy' in the shop was the Enchanted
Kiko Squeeze Toy, a rather handy item able to deflect water attacks. The weapons
kept on getting weirder and weirder as cardboard sprout cannons, carrotblades,
tiki bomb bags, etc. were added. Still, Neopians still knew several things for
certain:
1. Whoever came up with these things was obviously insane.
2. This shop sold items meant to be used in the Battledome.
3. If a shop sells battle weapons, then it is a battle shop.
Therefore, everyone reasoned that the Hidden Tower would always sell items
meant for battling.
Everyone had never been so wrong.
Along came the Faerie Queen Doll, second only to the Meepit in scariness.
While most of Neopia was cowering in their closets, a few believed the the faerie
doll was- can you believe it- cute! Pictures of the doll popped up in every
faerie guild in Neopia. And the weirdest thing about the faerie doll? It wasn't
a Battledome item!
More toys began to pop up. A paint brush--the first ever to be sold in a shop-
appeared, and it too could turn your tough Halloween pet into a cute, dribbling,
pathetic version of its former self. A snow faerie doll appeared. Jhudora's
third Hidden Tower item appeared (what is it with Dark Faeries and toys?). The
latest is the Jelly Chia plushie, a squishy version of the dreaded jelly pet.
So... what's so bad about it?
Well, it would be dangerous if Neopians decided that the Hidden Tower was
now a toy shop! Think of what would happen if your precious Neopet started playing
with the Shrunken Marbles or the Ice Dice! Or, even worse, what if they reasoned
that the Hidden Tower was a 'general store' and tried to, say, eat the carrotblade?
I'll leave the graphic details up to you. What can we do about it? Boycott the
Hidden Tower? (No one could afford those prices anyway) Destroy millions of
Neopoints worth of our precious items? (Nahhh) Well, at the moment I'm afraid
I'm stuck. If you come up with any good plans that work I'd like some credit.
If your plan backfires and you end up losing your life's savings, please remember
that I had nothing to do with it.
Note from the pets: We'd like to throw everyone into a state of panic by
pointing out the fact that Dark Faeries have this thing with toys... and the
Hidden Tower is selling more and more toys! We highly doubt that this is a good
sign.
