The Hidden... Toy Store?

by loveablepet2007

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.

PS: If you want to know where the hidden tower is, you can find it at.... Your screen shudders and goes blank.
