Oh, gosh, you're totally right! Let me just scribble that out and--there we go!
And yes! We've all got a secondary item that we're planning to get in stock during the event! Our supplier has also mentioned the possibility of off color options, if the demand is high enough--I hope you guys are active enough that we can order them in!

Meet Vanora :vanora_heart:
“Hey, are you here for a scarf? It’s getting really chilly out and I have something perfect that matches the shade of your eyes!
Oh, you just want to know about me? Well, I’m Vanora Aria. I’m from the Sound realm, so I’m all about theatrics! I used to have a store back in my home realm and my stuff was really popular there. So I decided to come to Voltra to expand my horizons and share my handcrafted items with the rest of the world! If you need any assistance whatsoever with picking out something for your hair … or even a belt, oh gosh, I have so many belts … I’m here for you!
Seriously, let’s get you that scarf I was talking about. I swear, you’re going to love it.

“Would you just look at the leaves … This place is booming with color!
Don’t you all just love autumn? The leaves are turning and showing all sorts of awesome colors, and everything smells just as good as it looks! I’m such a fan of adding splashes of color to a wardrobe, and autumn inspires me in ways that you can’t even imagine. I’m always trying to throw new stuff on Vivienne because she wears it so well, and I know these reds and oranges would go great with her hair! But then there’s the predicament of picking something out for everyone else … I need to see everyone out and about in this weather to get an idea of what accessories they’ll need.
I know! How about you all add your own ‘splashes of color’ to our event with your artistic talents?! We’ll have an art contest! You show me what myself and the others are doing to celebrate the fall season--I have no doubt it’ll be the perfect inspiration for how I’m going to dazzle up everyone’s wardrobe this autumn!”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to Vanora’s Autumnal Art Contest! The aim of this contest is to depict Vanora and/or the other shopkeeper NPCs celebrating the fall season. Vanora will choose her top three favorites based on the criteria listed below. To submit art for Vanora’s contest, put your artistic talents to the test and upload your final piece to a site like Imgur, and link it in her thread. The contest will end on October 8, after which Vanora will choose her favorites!
Vanora’s top favorite will win 1000 Ohms, a Sweetcake Set, and the ability to choose a recolor for Vanora’s event items, of which they’ll recieve a copy.
Her second favorite will win 750 Ohms.
Her third favorite will win 500 Ohms.
In between event submissions, feel free to chat about the current submissions, your favorites, what you want to enter, etc - Vanora will unlock a new event pose at every 10th page of the thread.
Your current goal is to hit page 10. When you do, you will unlock a second EI in Vanora's name.
Things to keep in mind:
★ Each user may submit up to 2 different pieces for Vanora’s art contest.
★ Vanora will judge her favorite art based on overall execution and originality, how well it fits the autumn theme, and how well the character (or characters) are depicted--so make sure you’ve gotten to know the NPCs! Vyctor’s Trivia and Vontell’s chat thread are very good for this.
★ Although Halloween is part of Autumn, please keep in mind that it isn’t what we’d like to see a focus on just yet, and you may be considered slightly off theme if your entry is exclusively Halloween themed.
★ Art submitted must be created the user who submits it. Submitting art that you do not own will result in a forfeiture of the contest and possibly a ban from the site. Plagiarism and art theft are not acceptable.
★ In addition, art submitted may not contain copyrighted images or copy existing art.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Voltra Autumn Block Party?
★ The event will run from September 24, until October 8, with the NPCs selling the last of their inventories until October 10 to allow appropriate time to buy any last minute recolors that may be earned and added to the stores at the end of the event. This should give you two weeks to apply to the existing contests, unlock your event items and preferred recolors, and enjoy the free use of our event forum.
Where can I get the event items?
★ Each NPC’s special event item can be purchased from their respective stores in exchange for Volts once they’ve been unlocked.
How do I unlock event items?
★ Event items are unlocked during the event by everyone collaborating together and being active on the forums! Each NPC has two EIs for this event, but only the first one in it’s initial default coloring is available from the start. To unlock an NPC’s second item, as well as recolor options, everyone will need to work together by posting to meet the thread page goal for the specific NPC’s contest thread, at which time the new item will be added to that NPC’s shop.
Are there recolors of the event items?
★ Yes! But not from the start. The grand prize winner of each NPC contest will win, in addition to their Ohm prize, the choice of one recolor option that will be added to the stores. That winner will, of course, be granted their recolor option for free.
★ Other recolor options are unlocked through event activity. After the first item has been unlocked in an NPC contest thread, hitting that page goal again, such as hitting page 100 on a thread where page 50 was the original goal, will unlock an additional recolor option for that NPC’s items. The current page goal will be documented in each NPC thread.
★ Finally, additional recolors can be unlocked through general activity in the event forum. Every 500 posts made anywhere in the event forum will unlock a recolor for a random NPC’s items.
How much are recolors?
Recolors are separate items from the default event items. Their cost is the same as the default, and additional recolors must be purchased as they are unlocked.
How many contests can I participate in?
★ You can participate in any and all of the contests being run for this event, as many as you feel comfortable with. Some contests allow several attempts--be sure you read the contest threads fully so you know how many submissions you can make!
How long will event items be available?
★ Event items will leave stores on October 10th. Recolors can only be unlocked until the 8th, though, so be sure you post as much as you want to before that date!
Can I post in the event forum?
Yes! Threads of all types are allowed in the forum for any themed hangouts, stores, chat threads, etc!

On the twenty fourth of September, you emerge onto Main Street to find that the roads are blocked off with big sandwich boards that read Voltra’s Autumn Block Party. A rainbow of balloons are tied with shiny white plastic string to the boards, so many in number that the signs appear to be close to floating away. Beyond you can make out a multitude of brightly colored tents and even brighter garbed people mulling around the open streets. The thick, greasy smells of fair foods fill your nose from popcorn and funnel cake stands and you can make out the familiar faces of the local shopkeepers and city council members standing under tents with a variety of games on display for your perusal.
What are you waiting for? Go play!
