You would have thought that Brightvale would be the first land/town to fall victim to the Gray Curse, seeing as it was prominent in the Advent Calendar teaser, but nope it's not. Meridell is the latest victim

Okay, finally can participate! "Story" So Far: Interesting that Meridell was "Greyed" first. Either Brightvale was just an entry point and whoever is doing this will return for it or the vision from last AdCal of the "Grey Painter" looking over Brightvale was in media res and technically hadn't occurred yet.
Eitherway, while sad to see my AC team land in this state, there is some sense to why it would be the first to be completely "Greyed". Meridell has come out mostly unscathed of several conflicts and has some of the most notable heroes in Neopia (as the comic shows with Jeran, Lisha, & Tor), so crippling it as the opening move has both a tactical advantage of removing "threats" before they have the time to react and psychological intimidation for being the power that brought Meridell to its knees.
Anyway, aside from that I already have a bone to pick, from my JN post remade from a Neoboard post:

I like that this plot is starting on a rainy day with grey skies.
Unless the Void has invaded Snawland???

According to Jellyneo there was some dialogue with Neopian world leaders discussing the situation, but it's not available anymore. I missed it, so I'm kinda curious as to what it said... (I'm thinking maybe it was made available earlier than intended, so I imagine we'll see it again later)

From what I saw, they had character images accompanying the dialogue, but dialogue was paired with the wrong characters several times (with some instances where it looked like characters were talking to clones of themselves lol), so they're probably trying to fix the coding for that.

There's an NC Giveaway in celebration of the Plot as well. If you use a referral link, it credits an entry to the referrer. Maybe we can get a chain of referrals going here? I've got mine here:

Oooh, haven't really been as invested in Neopets lately, so I'll need to catch up on everything in depth, but looking forward to participating! Day 1/Ch. 1 comments Ahh, old plot characters are already having cameos! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I'm excited to see Faerieland go grey in that case, lol. I want a Brynnso cameo too... The home tab image looks like Altador with the AC map on the table, so I'm starting to understand why the AC was postponed for this, as what's happening looks like it will definitely interrupt the tournament. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Edit #2: A FLUFF friend pointed out FL's position on the AC map and...it's on a cloud!! 👀 Edit: Just read the news and yessss ![](https://images.neopets.com/images/nf/faerieland-poster.png) Destroyed Faerieland looking even more destroyed...😔 I'm surprised those cracks weren't already there, haha. But anyway...I hope the grey invades FL soon...😈 I have such high hopes for the appearance of so many of my fave characters getting involved. :3 Brynnso, Baelia, Xandra...

Jeran and Liiiishaaaaaa!!!!! You gotta give credit to the artists that even greyscale, you can still tell who Jeran is, even though it's not at all his usual look.
But still, my baby, nooooo....

Sometimes I wonder whether TNT deliberately increased the frequency of relevant random events in the run-up to the plot... (Has had my pet's happiness drained by a passing Wraith and nearly been brained by a falling piece of Old Faerieland Debris.) At any rate, I look forward to seeing cameos from the LDP gang! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Is it wrong that it's this specific panel of Tormund all greyed out while writing a letter to Roberta that has finally caused the gears in my head to finally turn like "come ON Kat how have you never written Tormund beyond a super quick cameo in the AHJ series"
Anyway noooooo Jeran and Lisha and Tor...but, I can play with the fact that Meri Acres was not greyscale'd. What if...a region in Meridell is remote enough to not be hit by the curse?
What if it was someplace up north if the NQII maps are something to go by?
What if.
Trestin is unaffected. Wink wink nudge nudge. Can I get away with not giving my full name to this neocash giveaway thing because maybe now I'll participate.

(I'm thinking maybe it was made available earlier than intended, so I imagine we'll see it again later) There was! I was lucky enough to see it before it was taken down, due to people talking about it on Discord. Along with much of the dialogue being attributed to the wrong characters, it was not super obvious that the dialogue was there (you had to click on the table, with no exclamation point or anything to show that it was there), so I would believe that it went up early in a very glitched state by pure accident, lol. In the meantime, we can cherish Baelia stealing everyone's lines for some reason (probably actually for real plot spoilers): ![](https://i.postimg.cc/d0QTRLrf/thatsnotright.png) Baelia literally stole every single line of Dr. Landelbrot's dialogue and idk why. XD
