Never Again, Spiced Apple Pie: Part One

Grundo’s Café was as busy as ever. The canteen on the recreation deck of the Virtupets Space Station held a myriad of Neopets unwrapping their rehydrated Chicken Dumplings and carefully nibbling their Electric Nachos. Wall-mounted screens showed the latest in news and entertainment from around the galaxy, including an interview with some Alien Aisha musicians and the latest strike on Sloth’s forces on some far-flung world.

"Zapped and Pounded" by light_faerie382
Drip, drip, drip…. I looked up at the ceiling. Water dripped from a newly formed crack onto the stone floor. Great. Another problem to make my life in here more miserable. I looked around my cage. There was no way to tell if it was day or night, not in this dark, windowless space. The only furnishings the room held was a small cot and a sink in the corner. My food and water bowls were empty, not that they were very full to start with. Three stone walls surrounded me, my only connection to the outside world being through the rusty bars of the cage. The pink Uni walked by my cage and stopped in front, giving me a sad smile. “How’re you doing, One?” I regarded her wearily. She was a kind soul with a gentle heart, but even so, there was only so much she could do, only so far her kindness could spread over those of us at the Pound. And there were so many of us. “My ceiling is leaking.” She peered up at the dank, dark ceiling. “Oh dear. I’ll see if I can find a bucket somewhere.” “Thanks.” I settled back with a sneeze. “Still no luck with a cure?” “Afraid not. I’m sorry One. The pharmacy only has so many Magic Cookies…” I sighed. “It’s okay. I didn’t have high hopes.” I never have high hopes for anything now.

He'd Have To Wait
The foliage was springy underpaw as Lopez stepped through the jungle, a camera strung around his neck. After a pawstep, the leaves would jump right back up to where they had been a second before. As the Kougra walked on, the sun grew fainter and fainter, the surroundings growing dark. Bright green plants changed into dark bushes as he walked on.

Tallydepp and the Imperial Exam
Uni cake was Tallydepp's favourite food and usually the sweet aroma would stop her in her tracks, but today the excited Uni didn't even notice. She pulled a letter from her school satchel, her hooves shaking slightly. "Look! Look!" she cried. "I've finally been selected to try out for the Imperial Exam!"

Judging the Best and the Worst Game Trophy Designs
Not all trophies were made equal however. Some are quite beautiful, in both design and representation, while others don't quite meet the mark, or a plain eyesore for the typical to even want to glance. After carefully judged all the available trophies, and a few cups of tea, a team of experts have come up with a list of trophies that will add… visual spark to your User Lookup.

More Of Your Neopets Neuroses!
There's certainly no lack of neuroses around here. Although my first article was chock full of our quirks and idiosyncrasies, it still took me a mere hour to collect a brand new batch of neuroses for this second article! I canvassed the Neoboards, asking my fellow players what their neuroses are. I got many interesting replies!
