As you approach the Old Oak Tree, you notice it seems very calm this year. No kids running amok, no characters causing Birdy misery, no pokemon running wild... ...Hopefully this is a good sign, and not one of those "calm before the storm" sorta things. Making you way up the tree (there's a spiral staircase encircling the tree this year), you reach the deck and knock on the door. "Come in!" you hear a voice from inside call out. You enter and find Birdy tinkering with something on what looks like some sort of workbench. "Hey!" Birdy greets you. "Welcome to my treehouse! Have some candy, if you like." She motions to a large bowl of candy sitting on a small table near the door. "Oh, and I have other treats too!" she adds. "Blinkies!" Blinkies? You think you've seen a few around the NTWF, in signatures. You look closer at the items on the workbench, wondering what sort of blinkies Birdy will be making. "If you want one, just lemmie know and I'll see what I can do," she says. "If you have something specific in mind, I'll just need an image and general idea of what you want, like if it's your name, the name of a character, or whatever. Anything goes! ...Or if you have nothing specific in mind I can just surprise you." ...Well, that sounds fun! So, what do you say? Do you want a blinkie?
BLINKIES. \ o /
If you want one for you/a character of yours (or that you just like)/a favourite Neopian thing (or character or item of land or...you get the idea)/whatever, just point me at the image and I'll do my thing! ...Or if just want me to pick something at random or whatever I can do that too.
ENJOY. |

(rewrote mine)
Dresses as the most beautiful Idol in the world, Creamy Snaw plays a tambourine solo for Birdy. Yes, this treehouse would be perfect for a explosive concert and an explosive explosion! Plus, Snaw was curious about these supposed blinkies Birdy was offering. Were they evil? Good? Made of diamonds?
After devouring a bowl of O Henry candies, Snaw asks, "What do blinkies do, dear friend Birdy? Can I use them for world domination purposes? Or concert promotions?"
Snaw looks around the treehouse and sees a pottery wheel in a corner. Painted purple, it'd be the perfects accessory for Snaw's pottery room!

A big-cat sized tuxedo cat climbs their way up the tree in perhaps the most complex way possible, completely ignoring the staircase; you're not sure it was entirely necessary. But while the cat is oddly a little clumsy, they seem to be enjoying themself.
Finally, after perhaps more effort than was actually warranted, the cat lands at the front steps of the treehouse and pads their way inside, approaching Birdy.
"Hey! Quiet year," the cat comments telepathically, as they nudge open a pack on their side. "But that's kind of you to offer, thank you! Now, while I'm in this form, I don't think I should risk eating the candy, but I'll gladly take some to save for later."
"As for the blinkies..." The cat lays down and thinks. "Hmm, design is not my forte. I know what colors I like, but design, and how frequently it blinks... Would it be okay if I come back to you on this? Or if you have ideas, I'm all ears!"
"Or if not, I hope you have a happy and peaceful Halloween regardless. Enjoy the moonlight."

A girl dressed as a bunny and her guinea pig climb up the stairs. "I actually have a letter for you," says the girl, handing over an envelope.
The girl shrugs. "I just want some candy, personally."

Snaw looks around the treehouse and sees a pottery wheel in a corner. Painted purple, it'd be the perfects accessory for Snaw's pottery room! "Blinkies are basically animated gifs," Birdy explained. "Kinda like an avatar you may see on Neopets, or the like. I guess they don't really 'do' anything other than sit there... but I'm sure they can be used for promotions if one wished!" Then after a quick glance around, whisper-added "Or world-domination purposes." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A big-cat sized tuxedo cat climbs their way up the tree in perhaps the most complex way possible, completely ignoring the staircase; you're not sure it was entirely necessary.

"And yeah, might want to wait on the candy, just to be safe. There's plenty, so take as much as you like for later!" "Yeah, you can get back to me," Birdy adds. "Or we can meetup later and discuss ideas; I can send you a message if you like?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A girl dressed as a bunny and her guinea pig climb up the stairs.

"And ooh, a letter?" Birdy takes the envelope, trying not to get a certain song stuck in her head. (Is she successful? ...Probably not.) Upon reading the letter and examining the enclosed image, Birdy nods. "I think I can do that," she says, grabbing a scrap of paper and scribbling notes on it.. "Yes, I can see it now..." After she finishes scribbling, Birdy motions to the large bowl of candy. "Feel free to take whatever you want!"
ASDFGHJKL;;; So so sorry for the delayed replies! OTL
Work has ended up being busier than I thought it would be this week. =D; I'll still be blinkie-ing, so no worries there. It just may take me longer than I first figured it would. 8'D; (Will still be doing my best to get any out by the end of the event. Again, apologies. =D; )

Creamy Snaw is intrigued by this.
"Since I'm so busy with my ongoing tour, would it be possible for the lovely Birdy-boo to pick out a Blinkie for me?" Snaw twirls. "It doesn't have to be too sparkly; just something that says 'this is for Snaw and not YOU, so don't bother asking for a duplicate!'.

"Thank you," says the girl appreciatively. She takes a piece of candy and unwraps it. "You know, it's pretty cool you're doing this."
The guinea pig chirps in agreement.
"How long have you've been doing this anyway? Setting up in a treehouse, or making these blinkies, or any of this?"
She notices the candy she unwrapped is a taffy. She looks at her guinea pig. "This is the type of candy i named you after, Taffy!"

"It doesn't have to be too sparkly; just something that says 'this is for Snaw and not YOU, so don't bother asking for a duplicate!'. "Of course," Birdy replies. "I do believe I can whip something up..." (It appears the gears in her brain are turning. Who knows what she'll cook up?? Only time will tell...) "Thank you," says the girl appreciatively. She takes a piece of candy and unwraps it. "You know, it's pretty cool you're doing this." The guinea pig chirps in agreement. "How long have you've been doing this anyway?

"This is the type of candy i named you after, Taffy!" "Heh, thanks," Birdy replies. "And... I've been doing trick-or-treating in my treehouse since... 2012, I think? ...Or mostly in my treehouse. There have been... incidents, shall we way, in the past. As for the blinkies, I did some a few years ago for a NTWF Advent Calendar, but haven't really done any since; I wanted to try my hand at it again, so I Thought this might be a good way," she explains.
OTL I'm so sorry I have not gotten these blinkies done yet. :'D I am working on them though! I will just likely have to be PMing them to people and whatnot. Sorry. ^^; Thanks again so much for your patience - y'all rock. <3

Creamy Snaw is excited to see Birdy's artistic genius!
"I shall play the tambourine to inspire you," says Snaw, playing a happy song.
