Joking aside, let's give them a hand for making such a splash with three new items for May! Maybe you'd like to

the all new and mysteriously elusive Merlantis!

Event Launch
Hey so, side-note for a moment. Me and my sister Frizz have been doing some really important work all day
that could benefit all of Voltra! Problem is? We're totally stumped. But hey, you seem as clever as you are
beautiful, why don't you stop by our place and help us out huh? We'll reward you!
I'm also getting reports that there's some kind of important information you should check out here.
Well what are you waiting for? Check it out, then tell me the scoop!
__________________________________________________
Commons Update
A small shipment got airdropped into Voltra today, and lucky us! Go visit Vontell to check out the classy new pumps he has in stock!

Welcome Newcomers!
It seems Voltra recently experienced a massive population boom! It's exciting to see so many new faces around
the city, but let's make sure they don't get lost in the crowd. Everyone be sure to give a warm welcome to all our
new Volties, I know I will! Oh wait... I am right now! Hey there!
I'm being informed by our gallant VPD to remind everyone to brush up on Voltra's Rules so that we can all get along and not
cause any trouble. (You can also find more in-depth forum rules pinned to the top of every sub-forum.)
And remember, if you ever need any assistance or have a report to make, always reach out and contact
a member of Voltra's staff! They'll help you out with anything.
__________________________________________________
Staff Updates
It seems some local Volties have been given exciting new jobs lately. So let's give props to the newly appointed
Artist Saeyra, Artist/Pixelist Mica, and Writer Juneberry! That's a lot of creative talent in one sentence!
Can't wait to see what cool stuff we can expect from them!
__________________________________________________
Dev Update
I'm hearing reports of all the clocks in Voltra going haywire, you guys seeing this? I'd say it's weird but, hey, I'm a
talking bird, what can I say is normal? Whatever the case, Voltra's brightest are on the case and should have it fixed soon!
So if you notice your recent comments being said 'an hour ago' don't worry, you're not bonkers... Not in this case anyway.
If you notice any other bugs or errors, be sure to report them to the beloved bug forum or contact staff directly. Thanks!

THE DORMOUSE
Static lifts the lid to the teapot, leaning in before gasping in surprise
as a sleepy head pops out of the top of it, yawning and slowly blinking. The Dormouse smiles at him, “Good bye.”
“I’m sorry, excuse me I... was wondering if you had seen my brother earlier.” Static stammered worried.
The Dormouse tilted his head, bringing his finger to his mouth as if thinking, before lazily nodding his head, “I did.”
Gasping in surprise, Static leaned in closer, “Please… Will you tell me what happened?”
The Dormouse stalled again, zoning out for a moment, “Humm… We met and spent the whole day together.
We did a lot of fun stuff and ate good food.”
“So you’re saying he was in your sights the entire time?”
“Yes,” The Dormouse nodded.
“And he did not sneak off to do anything nefarious?”
“I’m sure of it,” The Dormouse nodded again with a sleepy expression.
Static sighed in relief, offering the man a smile, “This is incredible, thank you…
Would you be able to attend his trial and testify this to the queen?”
“I’ll rush over there…” The Dormouse yawned, slowly dipping back into his teapot.
THE FINAL CLUE...

THE FIRST WITNESS
Static turns to you, shaking his head, "There are so many people we have met on our journey, friends...
Who should we speak to first?

THE GARDEN HOSTESS
“Ah… No no, like I said I haven’t seen your brother…
Although, the flowers say somebody had trampled through here rather rudely earlier.
Perhaps it was him, they said he seemed to be in a rush towards the castle… Hm...”
The Garden Hostess nodded, before looking to a flower and nodding,
“Oh, and that he was alone. I think you’ll need to speak to somebody else for a better story, I apologize.”
Static sighs, turning to you with a nod, "Who should we speak to next?"

THE CHESHIRE CAT
“Oh, I’ve always been aware of who your brother is…
But wouldn’t you agree that this way of finding him was more deviously fun?”
The Cheshire Cat grinned, before her bright eyes narrowed, “I tried to have fun with him as well,
but he didn’t seem too keen to play by the rules and opted to fly over the maze instead. She would know...”
The Cat’s body materialized, swiveling her finger in the air before pointing to Frizz,
“After all, she was with him. Hm~ After that, I lost track of him…
But it was fortunate, we wouldn’t have met otherwise, would we?”
She purred mischievously as Static shifted uncomfortably.
"Hmm... But I do know who you should be speaking to next~"

THE WHITE RABBIT
“Huh? When would I have had time to see him?”
The White Rabbit laughed, shaking his head, “You know I’ve been running around, you were following me weren’t you?”
Static sighed in worry, nodding, “I thought as much… it seems The Cheshire Cat fooled me again…”
“Hey don’t worry about it. But yeah, I would have been upfront with you if I’d run into him. Good luck huh?”
The White Rabbit spun to leave, pausing before glancing over his shoulder, "Hey... You want some advice?"

THE CATERPILLAR
The Caterpillar slowly blew out a puff of smoke, “Your brother… An interesting character, is he not?”
“So you’ve met him?” Static gasped in surprise, gazing up at the Caterpillar,
“Please... Tell me, can you help verify he did no wrong?”
“Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure, as we have discussed earlier,” The Caterpillar gave a gentle smile,
“But I have seen a hint of his presence in our land… I cannot confirm nor deny any wrongdoing accused of your brother.
However, I can lead you towards a figure who may be able to help…”

THE TEA PARTY
Static approaches the once boisterous tea party
and is perplexed when he finds it deadly silent and seemingly abandoned.
Cups are scattered, tea spilled, the tablecloth is askew.
Static frowns in concern, approaching the table where something catches his attention.

CONTINUED...
Static wiped his brow with a small, satisfied smile. Hauling crates alone was hard work, but surely Volties would appreciate it. His lips fell into a frown, however, as he recalled the magical signature of his siblings disappearing just moments ago. It was as if they vanished.
A few minutes later, he found himself at their residence with a very strange tome in hand. It was lying on the floor, seemingly discarded, and he made the mistake of turning its pages. A low gasp escaped him as a swirling light shot from the book and engulfed him. Whirling in a daze, he shifted and spun downwards as the light retreated whence it came.
The tome shut with a heavy smack before impacting the floor with a thud, and Static?
He was still falling.

A bit aways, Vivienne stops on her tracks, almost making Vanora lose her balance. She turns around to figure out
what's happening. "Something wrong Viv? Do you need to sit down and rest?"
Vivienne shakes her head. "I just... it was tough Van."
Vanora frowns, knowing that it must have been horrible, she struggled finding words to reassure Vivi everything was fine, but
the other continued before she had a chance anyways. "The only thing that kept me going was seeing you again... because
you're my best friend, and I love you."
Vanora smiles sympathetically. "I love you too Vivienne, come on, let's go... Everything will be ok."
She holds her hand and slightly tugs, but Vivienne doesn't move. "I know that Vanora but, it's not what I meant... I love you as
more than that."
Vanora is taken aback by the confession, her face going red. She approaches Vivi, grabbing her other hand and staring at her.
"That's what I meant too."
Vivienne feels tears forming in her eyes, happy about the other's response to her confession. Being braver, Vanora leans in for a kiss
on the other's cheek before continuing. "Now come on! I'm worried about you, you know! Let's get you home so I can take care of you."
Vivienne smiles and nods. "Alright... Let's go home," They both continue their slow walk back home, hand in hand and happy.

Spark fervently nods in agreement, unsure of what was even being referred to at the moment. Vanora goes and helps Vivienne stay up,
taking her from Vontell's shoulders. Meanwhile, the guardians became distracted by each other, mostly teasing Spark for being so
behind and discussing the events that happened during the black out.
"I'll take it from here Vontell, thank you so much... really... Vivi needs to rest now, we'll talk more later. I'll get her home."
Vontell nods, being very tired himself, he couldn't imagine how Vivienne must feel, after what he witnessed. "I shall relay the details later,
I agree that for now rest is the best option. If you need anything at all do let me know."
Vanora nods, before she could move away Vivienne lefts out a soft laugh. "Vonny... your hair's a mess. Come around the shop later ok?
I'll fix it up..."
Vontell smiles at her "Sure thing Viv, I'll be there as soon as you're back to your old self. So i expect you to rest well now."
Vanora chuckles "Alright, let's go Viv... you can think about hair when you're in a better condition." Vivienne says bye to Vontell,
and both girls walk away slowly. Vanora helping the other one stay up.

Spark shrugs, “I’ll tell you when I know you better! But I’m going to guess it has to do with her if she was a target,” Spark said,
pointing his thumb to Vivienne next, “All I can tell you now is that the agents latched onto her like a parasite after and were draining
her energy… You have to be careful, they’re really drawn to magic users.”
With a laugh he struck a pose. “But hey! No need to worry about that! I’ve been chasing them off for years and now I’m back and
better than ever! I’ll make sure Voltra doesn’t go dark again, and this time I can actually get involved. I have a lot of catching up on
all the hot gossip around town!”
Frizz frowned, “But they already got past you once… How did they get in? It’s never been an issue before, I thought you were safe...”
“They must have gotten their creepy hands on some kind of power… They cracked my core, I was stuck in there and couldn’t do
anything. Not sure how they pulled that one off!”
“Perhaps… It was Trick’s book, during the Reaping Ritual?” Vontell frowns, rubbing his chin, “This is troubling…”

As Vontell ponders Vanora rushes in to Vivienne, tears welling in her eyes as she takes her by the hands, “Vivi! I’m so relieved you’re
safe! I was so scared I… I tried everything to find you!”
Vivienne laughs, still weak from her encounter, “I’m.. Not sure what happened but… I thought I saw you and the next thing I knew,
I was swept away by those… those shadow creatures… It’s all a blur after that….”
Excited for another opportunity to speak, Spark immediately cuts in, “What you saw was probably a copy. You know, the Entropy
likes to feed off negativity energy and personal doubts, so ooooone of you has been holding something back. Hm. Probably you since
it took your form,” Spark pointed to Vanora, making her jump in surprise.
“Me? What would I be holding back?”

Before the others could question what he meant, Vontell came hurriedly towards the others, Vivienne slumped against his side,
“I followed the light and thank goodness you’re all here… I’m unsure what happened but…” He pauses, blinking blearily as he gazes
up at Spark, “Was it you?”
Waving his hands Spark laughs, “Sorry I got carried away, I could have given you a lift down. You were pretty gutsy facing off against
those Agents of Entropy on your own you know. Lucky thing I’ve got your back and-”
“Wait, are you telling me that those are who the Agents of Entropy are?” Vontell’s eyes wide, whispering, “Of course… It’s worse than
I could have imagined… But what would they have wanted with Vivienne?”
