Spark's posts

Happy Friday Voltra! It's me, your best and most feathered friend Spark, transmitting to you once again from
Voltra Towers to bring you the hottest news in town. Careful, don't touch it!

Today's such a special day, my friends... Not only do you all get a well deserved break with the weekend, but it's also the first
of the month and you know what that means... Let's not dawdle anymore! Take my hand and and let's dive right in, shall we?

June Crates Have Arrived!

My beloved siblings have been so busy lately! I'd complain that I barely get to see them anymore, but when you see this end result?
Well, I think you're going to agree it was worth the wait! They're bringing us two more vibrant crates to kick off summer!

Are you looking to add a little drama to the season? Midsummer Night's King may be exactly what you're looking for!
Or maybe you're looking to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe. Show off loud and proud with the vibrant Rainbow Mesh.
And of course, we can't forget about our mysterious Merlantis, which is returning this month one final time!


Midsummer Night's King: By Glume.
Rainbow Mesh by Fozzy.
Merlantis: By Q t e a p o n

Thank you Elithiya for uploading!

Hm... Wow! It seems like I've run out of things to talk about today... I mean, unless you want to hear about how my day went,
then meet me after the show. We'll get coffee, it's been ages since we've had a chance to catch up, you know?

But I digress! Thank you for tuning in once again my lovelies. Until next time, be sure to have fun, be safe, and look out for each other.

Love you Voltra! Spark out!

Live from Voltra Towers, I'm here once again my beautiful friends, and I couldn't be more thrilled! Not only do we get to have one of our chats, which I live for, but I bring you really exciting news!

In fact, I'm so excited, I don't even have time for my intro, let's go!

Plasma Orbs Are Here!

Once again, Static and Frizz are knocking it out of the park! After working tirelessly for months to perfect it juuust right, they've come up with the hottest, most anticipated new item: Plasma Orbs!



What's a Plasma Orb?
Great question, folks, and one I'm happy to tell you about! A Plasma Orb is what's known as a "Random Item Generator", which means once you open this thing it's a complete surprise what you're going to get! Totally fun and exciting, right?

How does it work?
Since my lovely siblings are so considerate, they are offering you three buying options to better suit your individual wants and needs! One orb will be available for either ohms or volts, while the other two are ohm exclusive. Let's do a breakdown of what each Plasma Orb has to offer, shall we?


Common Plasma Orb / 3000 volts or 100 ohms



Ryou Plasma Orb / 150 ohms



Alicorn Plasma Orb / 150 ohms


A huge thank you to Elithiya for spending countless hours prepping these amazing sets for release!

What are you waiting for? Rush over to OMG Imports to get yours today!




When will they leave shops?
Plasma Orbs have a shelf life of 3 months! So you have until August 25th to grab Summer '18 Orbs until they are swapped out with fresh, new Fall '18 Orbs.

~Spark out~

Hello again, my beloved Voltra! Spark here, back from Wonderland and broadcasting live once again!

Phew! What an ordeal that was huh? If it wasn't for my precious brother and our quick-witted volties, I'd be minus one head and you'd be minus one host! Crisis averted or what, am I right?

But let's dive in so we can talk talk more in-depth about that adventure, and all the juicy content I've been holding onto since I got back. You won't BELIEVE all the new developments in our beautiful city! Let's go!

Wonderland Event Closing

A huge thanks to everyone who made this 'event', let's call it, so successful! You guys joining in really made this all possible! I'm blown away, really, it brings a tear to my eye how much love you guys have shown us... But no time for that! We need to start showing our appreciation to you guys the best way we know how... Gifts!



All volties have been granted a FREE Wonderland Goodie Basket! Huge thanks to Frossy (w/ edits by Fozzy) for lovingly crafting it!

Hey Spark, What's a Goodie Basket?

Well I'm glad you asked! A Goodie Basket is an item that, in the future, you can open up to select and receive ANY EI from this event! That's a good versatile deal, right? Pick up a lot of them!

Pick up extras at Joyful Jamboree.

How Long Will They Be Available?

Another good question! Mushrooms and event items will be available all the way up to 5/21! So jump in and collect as many as you can before 5/22, when everything will be leaving Voltra.

I also have it on good authority that mushrooms are more plentiful than ever, so what better time to go searching right?

Happy Belated Mother's Day!

So with that out of the way... We missed mother's day in all the chaos! Despite not having one myself, I'm a big fan of mothers and all the hard work they do! They deserve our respect.

Especially when uh... Their kids can sometimes be a handful, like this bunch!



Item by Ghost

Cute little guys but I'd be careful... I hear they bite! Check your inventory to raise your own little monster, granted free to everyone! And if you'd like to pick up some extra, swing by Ohm-My-Gosh Imports! I'm sure Frizz and Static would be happy to hand them off to you.

Item Update Notice

I'm getting word that there's been some important updates rolling out about the Autumn Festival 2017 items... Good news guys! You know all those recolours of items belonging to beloved shop owners you purchased?

They're all going to be swapped out with sets containing ALL recolours! If you're confused, let me break it down with an example:

Let's say you owned Vyctor’s Horns in default (x2), cherry (x1), cloud (x1), and V.C. (x1). After the swap, you will have the set, Vyctor’s Horns (x5), each containing all 4 recolors.

As a reminder for anyone not in the know, these recolours were purchased with volts during the event.

Sadly but sweetly, we must depart once again my loves. But I'll be back before you know it to share all the juicy gossip around Voltra. Meanwhile, make sure to have fun, be safe, and look out for each other, okay?

Love you Voltra! Spark out!

Spark is tuckered out after all the activity.

Spark individually signs and hands out his headshots to everyone. Apparently, he already had them on hand.

"Always great to meet my fans!"

"Looks like I need a bath!"

Spark laughs weakly.

"I'll field this question, since I'm kind of an expert in this area," Spark grins, "You're talking about The Agents of Entropy. A pretty nasty bunch, I've been staving them off for years. They have a pretty bad habit of trying to wipe out all light and positivity they can get their creepy hands on..."

He rubs his chin, "For any of you who were.. heh, in the dark when this happened... For like, ever, I've been what's powering up Voltra, but I was pretty much trapped in an orb to do it. Then those Entropy losers busted it so not only was I stranded in there, but I couldn't do my job! The whole city went dark and some wild stuff happened. But thanks to the plucky engineer Valentina, boom. You got me," He smiled, pointing his thumbs back at himself with an unseen wink, "Pretty good deal, right?"

(You can read the final comic here...)

Hey look I found something for you guys! Not sure what is it...
