Day 25 It was nice to see not just Roxton, Clara and Jordie again, but also Lilian and Professor Fairweather, who haven't been seen in a very long time. I wonder if they are finally on their second expedition to the Lost Island of Giant Petpetpets?
Ah, nothing like jinjah cookies in zero gravity!
Wait, Fyora never un-petrified Xandra? I thought at the end of TFR she said she would bring her back to normal and basically rehabilitate her? Guess she decided not to for some reason?

Day 25: Mystery Island:Hugo: According to the journal, we should be coming up to the first sign of the "Gift Giver". Roxton: Alright everyone, keep your eye out for trees tied together into a giant slingshot. Jordie: How would we be able to tell? There's SO many and they're HUGE! It's like looking for a tree in the forest! Clara: That's exactly what we're doing, except its a jungle instead of a forest. Oh look, two trees tied together; oh wait, those are just vines. Oh, another two trees tied together; wait, those are just fine again. And there's another; noep, just more vines. Silly me. Roxton: *Sigh* Thanks for inviting Clara along, Jordie. Lilian: Wish we could have gotten Captain Rourke and Scrap, I'm enjoying being at the wheel but there was a few plants and Petpets I saw I would have liked to have gotten a better look at. Hugo: Werther too, but he had some kind of party to get too. As if anything is more exciting than sailing down rapids in Mystery Island? Virtupets Space Station:Cylara: Woohoo! What can be more exciting than floating around in zero gravity on the Space Station? Gorix: Um, Space Faerie, the cookies are floating away! Mira: No need to fret, these cookies are made with a batter which sticks together and doesn't crumble as much. Just float over and bite into on like your a Jetsam hunting a Goldy! Valka: Speaking of something that sticks, the presents keep floating away as well! Do we have any tape to stick them down? Scout: Or we could just open them without Werther. He always appears late anyway, like he's making a surprise appearance or something. Defenders HQ:Brexis: We were having such a nice party, what criminal is out making trouble on the Day of Celebrating? Aisheena: Well I don't know about you, but if they're sticking us with HQ watching duty than I'm taking as many cookies as I can. Brexis: I claim all the lemon snickerdoodles! (CLASSIFIED):Hanso: Now THESE are artifacts I can get behind! Brynn: It sure it. Though pretty odd that these gems remained when all other treasures around the city vanished once the illusion was disabled. Hanso: But these are no illusions. Brynn: From what I see they're certainly not. Hanso: Then don't mind if I do! *As Hanso fills up his bag, Brynn looks up at a sign over the display: Convincing Fabrications* Faerieland:Not going to make a comic here, mainly because this makes no sense. As CrimsonShroud said, Fyora said they can unpetrify Xandra and work on rehabilitating her. Either this comic is implying Fyora was wrong and they can't unpetrify her/she's too dangerous to unpetrify OR someone on the team making these comics knows about the popular AC animation of King Altador laying the flower down on the Darkest Faerie's pedestal in the Hall of Heroes. THAT, though, makes sense as at that time King Altador didn't know where TDF was (I believe that animation was after Faeries' Ruin) and just fondly remembering a fallen friend he's unable to rehabilitate.

I'm grateful for the Feel Better Soup. ^^; Years ago, I'd morphed my battle pet into a Shoyru to be able to use the Squishy Shoyru Healing Stone, which, at 2 mil, was 5 mil cheaper than Bag of Healing Dust. But I later regretted it because I'd initially written him as an Eyrie in these two stories. So I morphed him back into an Eyrie and downgraded to the Parachuting First Aid Kit, which is a 33% healer that still cost me 1 mil at the time I bought it. I actually was planning to try and get Bag of Healing Dust at some point but kept putting it off because it always felt too expensive. So I'm grateful to suddenly have a 50% all-species healer. I actually was one of the Neopians who posted on a board requesting a more accessible healer, but I was thinking something like a 40% healer. I didn't expect TNT to give us a 50% healer that also has air defense on the side. That... just blows my mind, like it's actually an upgrade to Bag of Healing Dust??? I don't feel sorry for whoever bought huge quantities of Bags of Healing Dust to inflate them lol. I do have sympathies though for people who carefully saved up, bit by bit, and poured months of savings into an item that is now worthless. Like... that could've been me. I was this close to spending 7 mil on a 50% healer, and neopoints don't fall out of the sky for me. TNT is playing a dangerous game and I hope they tread carefully in the future. o;

Final day: One more new stamp--a pretty cool looking one--and a grooming item.
Honestly I WAS really hoping they'd re-release the candychan stamp, but with all the solid re-releases we got this month I can't complain and it's really encouraging to me that it's something they're actively working on doing. Cute comic too.

Overall, a wonderful AdC with quality comics, great items, awesome RRs, and more excitement than I've seen in months on the boards and otherwise. It's really nice to see

Stephanie (swordlilly)- There will always be someone being salty with the items given out, because, it's Neo. I definitely find today's comic amusing.

I had a little hope of another Snowy Valley stamp (for completely selfish reasons, because if I were to have any stamp avvie, that'd be the most fitting lol), but I figured that if they were to release more they'd need to do both remaining unbuyables, else whatever was left would skyrocket in price into oblivion xD Two stamps felt like a much bigger ask, so I'm not terribly surprised that didn't happen. That is kind that they still rounded out the year with another stamp, at least! And I think overall they gave way more than anyone was expecting haha.
