The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she gains 2 movement points!!!! The Kookith begins wildly pushing buttons on the console, which looks to be made of cardboard and... Achyfi cans?! This can't be right! You begin formulating a plan to rescue your Petpet and run far, far away, but it's too late. The ray has already been fired... Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that. You should come back tomorrow and try again!

I'm proud of me too, haha xD I'm experimenting with the Felf top, there's not a huge amount it works with, but it's not a total wash out. The Its Too Cold In The Office Jacket looks pretty good as is, but the band of red adds a certain something The Neovian Blumaroo Gentleman Jacket Same thing. There's also the Swanky Denim Jacket that it does the exact same thing for, but it's too much blue overall for me, even with the respite of the red. vs. though with the addition of the scarf... ? That looks cute, doesn't it. That scarf looks very good on a Blum! I think it's the long slender neck that does it, it affects the way it's drawn. If I use Tate as an example as he's equally rotund but has little in the way of neck... this looks rubbish, doesn't it! Yes, I think I'm going to enjoy customising a pet that has both an actual neck and visible legs.? ?

Oh! So I DID remember it right! I had a major attack of uncertainty though; one little part of my brain knew what it was, but it was out-voted by all the rest. ? I didn't remember the spelling rightly though, I thought it was Pombhina. ??BRING ON ALL THE TREES!!! ?? ? I now want to see if i can sneakily use that fugly Felf jumper under anything else.

@Yuiina I need your assistance! Now that Cora is her Blumaroo self I've decided to keep the White Weewoo as her petpet, but its name! I have fuzzy recollections of the name of one of your goats meaning... see I can't remember that! Something to do with a dove... Pom.... aghhh I just can't remember. But it's what I want to call the Weewoo! Halp? Also I wanted to show the top combo Cora is wearing which I surprised myself with! I like layered items so I was VERY pleased when I randomly equiped the top she has on underneath this one I REALLY like the effect it creates and the warmth it adds to the outfit. But do you know what item it is??? (no cheating and looking on DTI!) It's gonna surprise you! See I absolutely DETEST this item and I've no idea why I equiped it in the first place ? but this combo hides everything I hate about it, and makes it a great layering piece! I was thrilled! ? I notice now, when I can see Cora more closely here, that her hideously expensive makeup (just shy of 800k ?) puts speckles on her face too, but they do basically look like freckles to me so I'm fine with that. They're barely noticeable on the normal pet pic size. I'm still intending to get her the Geek specs so she's not finished yet. I hope she's not gonna end up buying some bad produce at the market because I've sent her out without her glasses on. ? I also amused myself by equiping not one, but FOUR different trees in this customisation. ?

I have a new lab rat to introduce today as Cora got morphed and painted yesterday. So now we have thenameisalice who is currently a Christmas Blum. I like her feisty name and think she deserves to not be a giant candy cane! Let's see what Ray makes of her! Oh, wait! They don't have a petpet! Cora's keeping the White Weewoo, no more zapping that! ... RIGHT! Off we go! The ray is fired at thenameisalice... ... and she gains two levels!!! But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something. Much as I expected. ?

I'd say definitely? It's a name that's been used isn't it. During the '50s and so on? Wanting the outfit for your gallery?

Isn't it just! I don't like the Buzz either, I suspect it's one of the least popular pets because it's not cute enough. That and the Ruki probably don't get much love. Feel bad about this, but not so much that I want to adopt either species. ?

Such a clever idea you had there! It's a shame the end result wasn't all nice and cohesive, but only to be expected I suppose, if Neo had more customisation layers you could have been able to cram even more in there, lol. I've had an idea for another entry now.

SMUG hit 70 last night, but I just sat and looked at it, I suspect I'll regret that but hey. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... Yep, figured as much! SMUG (profile) 67 55 -12 7,000 75,000 385,000 +413.33% ? Though... Totals: 868,000 10,849,000 18,708,000 +72.44% Not bad! EDIT SMUG is being my friend after all! SMUG (profile) 73 81 +8 7,000 75,000 567,000 +656.00% I came here to post about this and it was at 78, it went up as I was typing... of course NOW I'm tempted to wait... but doing that invariably bites me on the behind! EDIT part deux 7 1000 shares of SMUG Sold 1000 shares of SMUG for 85000 NP. Nigel the Chia charges 20 NP as commission. Summary : You had 12353 NP. After 7 successful transactions, you have 607333. ?

Haha, my entry certainly isn't my taste, I hate the song. ? I just realised it would be one I should be able to work an entry for.

I have sent my entry (NOT Lonnie Donegan!) I wonder if for me this round will be a lot like the amine one; where I don't know the majority of the entries. ?

Ooh, now will I have any inspiration before it's too late... This is a GREAT theme, but also a tough one, so... ? EDIT I've just managed to talk myself out of one option, at least... Lonnie Donegan - My old man's a dustman... just... WHY brain? Huh? Not why talk myself out of it, but why think it was a good option in the first place. ? Gotta admit though, it was mainly because Neo really doesn't have anything that could be classed as "cor-blimey trousers" ? Also the fact that this is as British as you can get and would leave a lot of you scratching your heads. ? Gotta say though, I'm really glad I don't live in an age where this kind of stuff was popular entertainment!

Well! Do we have a foregone conclusion again this round? I rather believe we do! I mean these are only predictions, but - pretty compelling, isn't it, and this IS The Sway, after all... Time to bring on Dean Martin again? Actually no, let's give it a remix.

Ah Burlap, hopefully that will calm the complainers on the boards. That's 100% cute, too. That might get complained about instead, by the people who expect Burlap to be creepy. ? Though I feel the colour of the mane looks a little odd because it's grey. Is it making a graphic statement about how grey hair tends to be wiry? ?

I see you're not the only one that wants green alien babies now. ?

@queen_hatshepset Thank you! UnseenHunter looks amazing! What a fabulous name, too! The Runway definitely opens up our eyes to all kinds of pet options we'd not even thought about before. The customisation bug is biting me again, very clearly, after being fairly dormant for quite a while. It's often Runway stuff that triggers things though, I got an invisible Kau recently because of it. A lot of testing went into which Invisible pet to get, too. Sound nuts? There was method to the apparent madness though, honest! ? A quadruped so heldheld items stood on the floor rather than floating in mid-air with a chunk missing out of them where the paw etc. went. Plus the size/height of the pet affecting where items ended up. All VERY technical! ? I'm now tempted to spend some NP creating a daft tableau with my Kau, that was the sole reason for its existence, after all. ? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ @Yuiina As Cora's her true self now I feel I should let her show off in her own thread. ? Done a bit more shopping with her today and I'm in love with the result. ? This is the Not Enough Sleep hair. Which looks tousled in a Meg Ryan kind of way to me, and very cute. And that coat! ??? It's extremely flattering, too. Look how fat she looks without it! Lay off the pies, girl! I spent most of the NC I won today on that cardi (50% off) and the shoes. Was going to put those on too but it's winter! Let's keep the nice warm boots on! ? WHY did I wait so long to Blum her up?! The chance of the lab ray doing it was close to zero. But she's as she should be now. ?

That sounds good and dramatic, doesn't it! ? But truly it has become a baby step closer today! As today I spent the 150 NC that Expellibox kindly gave me for Christmas on the hat that I've intended for Cora to have, once she becomes the Orange Blum that has been my wish for her since I created a Runway entry featuring one forever ago. .... I've just wasted much time on DTI trying to recreate that entry; after wasting much other time trying to remember/find which round it was... ? On pg.137 out of 177 backgrounds I think I've got it all though! Mama Roo who blithely left dad to look after the kids, while she sloped off for some valuable me time. Good for her! I remember being really pleased by how the items worked together to hide the bits of each other that didn't work on their own; the boat covering up the rotten boot that's on the end of that rod, and of course my beloved shrubberies ? hiding the mines in the water! Plus the eye shadow giving her a nicely complacent look, LOL! It's the Roo's colour contrast with the hat and sweater, and how stinking cute that beanie looks, that made me decide I wanted this pet though, and I still do today, so from today Final Cora is a step closer. Now Cora's final form is taking shape in my head, too. I was trying on Blum items and I really like the Geek specs; and the Goth Make Up, which very surprisingly, and happily just gives her nicely defined eyelashes, not some socked-in-the-eye panda look. So both of these things in Cora's future, as well as that sweater of course! I seem determined to make her look like a mum, lol, but that's cool, she looks like she'd be a nice one. Of course once this transformation occurs I'll then need to get a new lab rat! ? I'll have room for one now too! ?

The sad Quig pose is so funny. xD Just utter despondency. ? Ray Jr. likes the Weewoo. :3 But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something. Looks like you'll have to come back tomorrow.

Not bad! I completely forgot to post about it, but on Christmas Day I got 150 NC, so thanks Expellibox! ?

After that slump into the red during December things are going completely the other way now! Totals: 867,000 10,839,000 16,421,000 +51.50% *pats stocks on head* A few to keep an eye on... HUW (profile) 41 52 +11 28,000 389,000 1,456,000 +274.29% PEOP (profile) 50 52 +2 10,000 120,000 520,000 +333.33% SMUG (profile) 56 56 0 7,000 75,000 392,000 +422.67% SSS (profile) 65 57 -8 26,000 340,000 1,482,000 +335.88% Which one of these is gonna make my bank balance happy?

Nice! Kinda mean that none of them are red though, surprising too!

The ray is fired at my_friend_Cora... ... and she gains 3 maximum hit points!!!! And the Weewoo stays! But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something. Looks like you'll have to come back tomorrow.

@Yuiina Me and my big mouth! I'M SORRY. ? I've spoilt a Howl moment, that's truly unforgivable... ?

That is EPIC! If mine ever turns into that it's staying that way for a long time! Someone's in a good mood! ? The ray is fired at my_friend_Cora... ... and she gains two levels!!! Oooh, good mood indeed, look at the cutie I got! Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

I'd talk about him with you, but I only know about him from memes. ? I'm resisting all kinds of comments about the alien baby thing. ?
