While wandering the plaza, you stumble upon a very bizarre site. A strange couple stands beside a giant wheel, wearing matching outfits. As you curiously gaze up to the display, the woman beckons you closer.
"Welcome darling... We have sssomething wonderful to share..." She hisses, a gorgeous smile upon her face. You soon realize it's Arika, the snake charmer of Cirque ad Infinitum. Beside her stands her husband and strongman, Berinhard the Mighty.
"Yes, little friend! We have wheel of LOVE!" His voice booms with excitement.
Arika laughs softly, patting him on the shoulder to calm him, "It'sss a very sssimple game... You sssspin the wheel, and share a ssspecial sssentiment basssed off what number you roll..."
"If you play, you get entered in big raffle! Sounds good, yes?" Berin gives you a friendly grin, "Show us how strong are your muscles! Spin, my friend, spin!"

”My favourite memory is probably when I said I was having a crappy birthday and a bunch of Volties came around and really cheered me up! A very lovely community”
”(@grost) I quite enjoy the feel of your avi. Very Victorian era. Kind of makes me think of Jack the Ripper? Which I def dig.”
”My favorite memory of Voltra... Would have to be back when it first started and we were all rushing to try to make our avis look as original as we could with the, like, ten items we had at the time. It was so inspiring to see what everyone came up with and get to experience all of the love and excitement for something we'd all been waiting for, for so long. ”
”I really wanted to work/live in Japan, and I accomplished that dream. Now I’m trying to find a new dream.”
”I just want to get a job that makes decent money AND good benefits without killing me. xD”
”(@wildfire) I think you’re an amazing person and a wonderful mother. It’s always nice catching up with you. ^^”
”Ooooh, I have a few good memories on here, but I’ll save the others for when/if I roll 2 again.
One of my favorite memories is how awesome my first big event was (Reaping Ritual 2019). Everything was just AMAZING, and then we find out that a great deal of the work behind that was Ghost because he’s inhuman. Thank you (and all the other staff) for working so hard to give us an amazing Reaping Ritual! ^^”
”Another fav Voltra memory I have is when I posted on here for the first time. I was extremely depressed and anxious. I even bought a buttload of premium items so I wouldn’t post with a naked avi. But omg, everyone here was so kind and welcoming. And little by little, my posting anxiety went away. I also enjoyed chatting with Total in my welcome thread (I knew from then we’d be good friends).”
”Another fav Voltra memory of mine is when I made friends with Koneko by spamming randomly in the undercurrent. They’re legit such a kind and genuine soul. ^^ It’s always nice chatting with them.”
”I really want to go on a nice vacation to Hawaii. I was planning on taking a cruise there, but then the whole virus situation happened. x__x Hopefully it won’t take too long for me to recover my savings and still go there.”
”Another favorite Voltra memory was when an NPC account replied to me for the first time. I was surprised because I was used to Gaia’s non-interacting NPCs, but also happy to know that they can mingle with us Volties during special situations. Also tying in with this memory is when I found out how the admin and staff interact with us normally and don’t put themselves on some pedestal like the Gaia staff did. ^^”
”Another good memory I have from Voltra is when I became top poster and got all the items I was questing. ^^”
”Another good Voltra memory was my first community discussion on Discord. I was still new to using Discord, and I had a blast listening to all the stuffs. ^^ I love joining the community discussions because of my first experience with them.”
”#2 - You know, it’s always a good memory when RNG stops trolling and lets me land on a winning number.“
”Welp, my current goal is to land on something other than 2 or 6 when rolling the die. xD I feel like I’ve been stuck on a loop.”
”I really love my birb Loki. When I was in my big depressive slump, he was the reason I got myself out of bed every day. Even though he’s a trouble maker and SUPER CLINGY, I love him and all his flaws. uwu”
”My favorite springtime memory was when I was living in Japan and experienced my first spring there. Cherry blossoms are my favorite flower, and it was just cherry blossom EVERYTHING. Like I got cherry blossom Frappuccinos, kit-kats, Pepsi’s, pudding, notebooks, decorations, etc. uwu Hopefully I’ll get to experience it again one day.”
”i love your ava”
”Definitely going to college and get a film degree. That would be great.”
”a favorite spring time memory would be in grade school. When things got warmer we always had fun little events going on and there was once a spring fling where we spent all day playing and doing fun things.“
”Okay so for my favorite Voltra memory. Hmmm....um I guess it would have to be Fozzy and Lilypoo complimenting me on one of my avatars! <33 they both posted it on my profile!”
”My friends and I got on zoom because we haven’t seen each other in forever and it’s just nice to see them again!“
”something I love. Lately it’s been working from home. It’s kind of weird but working from home is nice because I was work in my bed, and I have access to constant snacks. And if things are slow I can do other things and not feel guilty like I do in the office. I’ve also taken my lunch breaks to take naps if I need to and that’s awesome “
”Um another favorite memory would probably be some of the avatars I’ve made. I am really into matching and layering and sometimes a bit of clutter so I am really happy when I create something I think is awesome.
It would have to be my avatar I made with the Botanist backpack. It was a really cute avatar that I worked hard on to look like how I wanted it to look and I wish I had uploaded a picture but I have it saved on my computer and looked at it while I typed this up xD”
”One day I want to move to the DC area. I go there once a year at least for a con and to see friends/family. Whenever I go I really love the city. It don't know why it feels so homely to me. I would have to wait until my husband's company opens an office there, but I'm sure they will in the future!”
”Honestly the answer is the same. For various reasons I want to move to DC.
Some other reasons would be, same timezone as the rest of my family minus my sister.
Not in the same region as family, so I would have a buffer zone, but my FL family would be only a 2 hour flight away, not 6+ hour flight (plus cheaper)
My PA family would be a train/bus or car ride away so I could see them during holidays
Much closer/cheaper/easier of a plane ride to England which is where my husband is from and all of his family lives. And he's older parents could actually come to see us. 12+ hours on a plane is too much for them at their age. Too many health factors.
It's expensive in the DC region, but not as much as the Bay Area. I could actually afford a two bedroom! Or at least a 1 bedroom with a den. Just a 1 bedroom is ok for me most of the time but it's hard when we have company, and when my husband works from home. I wish that I could give him his own room to work in or listen to music in.”
”I made banana bread muffins and matcha lemonade! Both turned out really good!”
”Well you guys are tired of here my rl goal…
so on Voltra I want us to hit 1.5mil in posts!”
”It's hard to pick just one. This is my new internet home after all. I had a ton of fun during the wonderland event. I had a job that week where I worked the front desk but hardly anyone came into the office, so they lent me an iPad with a keyboard and said this will keep you from being bored XD
Gosh I had a ton of fun posting all day with people!
Besides events other good memories I have are the people I chat with. Just chatting with Tsun, Kiwi, Sunny, Vengeance, Panda, Amber, Shark, Path and so many others really makes my day. I couldn't go through quarantine without Voltra and the people that make it great.”
”You know I'm gonna pick my husband. We have been together for almost 9 years and been married for 7. We get along very well but we are still different people with goals. I love how smart and hard working my husband is. I love the little things he does like gets me water or cooks for me. (I do the same, but we aren't talking about me XD) I love it when we talk about our future together, where it about our careers, money or where to live. I love that we both know Japanese and have mostly the same hobbies. We both travel well with each other and have the same political values.”
”Speaking of top posters, congrats on being a top poster (@Wildfire).”
”I got to FaceTime with my sister. ^^”
”My goal is to keep doing what I'm doing until we can safely so outside again.”
”It would be getting Easter Baskets when I was a kid. Every year my sister and I would get treats, bubbles, a new bathing suit (hey I lived in FL, ok) and some chalk. It would be a lot of fun to play in the yard with our new toys.”
”Goals are to move up in the top posters list. I was number 1 at one point lol“
”I think this event might be a new one. I really liked the dating sim, the graphics and chatting in (@Pachi)'s thread ^^”
”Just helping out with the house hold chores if I'm not online or not watching some Korean drama.”
”the first picnic date i was taken to. the gardens were wonderful.”
”Well, I always loved when the blooming tree in our front yard started to have buds in the beginning of spring. I loved seeing them bloom into white flowers too. I really miss that tree. ; 3;”
”Hmm. I love anime! I believe anyone can get into anime if they find the right genre~ My favorite genres are sports and slice of life. I just love realistic portrayals of everyday life in Japan. I love shipping all the cute sweet boys too! > w<”
”Something positive huh. I actually finished two freebie art sketches today!”
”A big dream of mine has been opening my own publishing company to license, translate, and print manga. I wouldn't mind at least getting into that business. I've always wanted to see all of Sanami Matoh's works published in English. I barely know where to start though. I should really research how to make it happen..”
”Something positive that happened this week. The week barely started. D: Uh, I finally finished some processing work on some new library books for the school I work at. X3 Who knows when they'll be available for check out... Hopefully next school year.”
”A favorite spring time memory. I don't feel like I have any personal memories of spring... I've always loved seeing greener grass growing and the bright yellow dandelions against the green grass…”
”Let's go with somebody I love. I'm totally in love with my new kitty Kate. I don't actually know how old she is but she's been a real comfort to have around since my previous cat passed away. It's been almost five months since we've brought her home. She's such a clingy and vocal kitty. I love to hear her meow and purr. I'm so happy she loves to lay in my lap and my shoulder.”
”I enjoyed hosting the 12 Days of Pokemon thread I made with Kent for Winter Solstice 2018~ o uo
Loved seeing people sketch Pokemon.”
”Hmm think it might have been when I was a small kid.. it is a slightly bittersweet memory though just to be warning.
But when I was a kid my fosterparents mare had a foal, unfortunately there were unseen complications and she died during the night, so the little stallion would have to get bottlefed, but would also need an adoptive mother, which my riding school luckily could help with. So we spendt late spring- start summer bottlefeeding him, he got named Blanco. Thanks to the bottlefeeding the foal grew up to follow us around on the ield and was a very loveable boy. I think I might have been 8 back then...
( I from I was 10 til 15 didnt get to see him as I at that time lived at my biological family untill I was 12 where I got on an orphanage, during all tis time I was not allowed to see my former fosterparents )
Years later I got the opportunity to see him again some slightly chilly spring, where he seems to have recgonized me as he whinnied an galloped over the field to meet me and kept nudging my head and sniffing my jacket. I would have loved to keep him or buy him but was unable to and I've not seen him since and dont know what his destiny became as he got new owners ( fosterparents sold him when they had to move ) and hence dont know either if he should have sired any foals himself.”
”I just joined recently so I don't have too many memories, but I remember talking to someone about what kind of drinks people were having during the quarantine! Everyone seems really sweet and welcoming here so I look forward to joining in on more activities here ^^”
”Vyctor~ ♥ Such a beautiful canvas to decorate. Smooth pale skin to tattoo, pierce, and shape.
(Could go further, but probably shouldn't -wink-)
You have my heart, always and forever!”
”When the site first opened and everyone was naked, and then we got those boob/poop clothes ”
”(@sunny) “I love your post style! every time I see you around it's always brightening up a thread
also I love bees......”
”hmm I really wanna learn to play guitar I have an acoustic, I just gotta find time and motivation to teach myself...
the first few days of quarantine I spent a lil time watching vids and I printed out a chord sheet but I haven't gone back since. ONE DAY.....
(side note: those few hours of playing killed the skin cells on my fingertips and like a week later I was like?? WHATS HAPP-- oh.)”
”oh man... actually there's a lot haha
I think it was about a year ago... but kiwi made a thread called "post-it notes" in the new undercurrent forum and it was such a fun ride. just a bunch of volties yelling about nonsense and sharing ridiculous stories/antics... I made some great friends there and I'll remember it always ;3c”
”last spring, I went on a short trip to seattle with my friends. it was my first time there, and I loved the vibe, really wanna go back... we visited the University of Washington's campus, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the time. it was super pretty and we took lots of aesthetic photos and just chilled there for the whole afternoon”
”one day I wanna travel to a beach where the water is clear and blue-green... it's so relaxing to look at in photos and I just wanna experience it irl ;3c”
”one day... ONE DAY... I will complete all of inktober ADLKFJ”
”(@Tsundererra) your signature? *chef's kiss* perfection. your recolor for volkan's beard still has me in tears.
also your art is really cute ”
”(@Totalanimefan) it's always nice to see you posting around! you're super friendly and you bring life to Voltra even when the forums are slow, haha
[i]”I want to get reacquainted with the piano. (it's horribly out of tune tho and UHHH can't tune it due to pandemic, so rip) I'm rusty now but ALDKFJ I wanna go back to it. and I'd like to learn how to play stuff like video game OSTs or anime songs ”
”when I was a kid, my parents would take me to the flower fields a couple towns over in the spring. it was like... rows and rows of flowers as far as you could see. I haven't been there in a long time but I've been thinking of going back someday.”
”ADLFKJ my sense of time is so off, hmmm...
oh a few days ago my friend and I caught up on some episodes of my hero academia over vid chat. I haven't been watching much anime lately so it's nice to get back into it. the latest season is good too…”
”(@Kent) your avatar has a cool color scheme heh ;3c
also your art is very cute!”
”
when I was a lil kid, I'd go to the local park with my friends for an egg hunt around Easter. The eggs were plastic and had candy or small toys ;3c I used to hoard the eggs in my closet afterward ADFLKJ”
”A goal of mine this year is to write and publish a book of poetry and short stories!”
”This week I spent a lot more money than I should have, but on really cool items like a new electric toothbrush, ingrown hair treatment (cause i get a lot, ouch), as well as reusable and environmentally friendly bags, food wraps, mouthwash tablets, and others things from a package free shop!”
”I went studied abroad in spain back in 2016 and I traveled to see my online friend in Belgium for a weekend~
we had a lot of fun doing very simple things lol i miss being in the same time zone as her”
”(@Hachi) I don't know much about you, but you always have really cool avis whenever I see you posting!”
”I want to reacquaint myself with my camera again so I have more options to be creative”
”Coming in and being greeted so warmly as a new player to the site”
”I got some things outside cleaned up, replanted, and prepared for more work (gardening), but mostly, I got to spend more time with my kids <3“
”... my first event here - it was fun, and different, and I kicked butt collecting event items because everyone was so chatty! <3”
”A personal goal of mine is to become fluent in another language (I'm working on it)”
”Something positive that happened this week... *thinks*... Oh! I got my bicycle fixed and went on a nice ride with my son (we both need the sun, air, and exercise)”
”Having a friendly, ongoing competition for the Top Posters Spots with Inatlaka and both of us making it to the list at about the same time.”
”Favorite Spring memory would be the Easter morning it snowed, being outside, in it, and watching the sun rise through the trees.”
”Does getting out of the house count? I'd really like to be able to do that about now!
Seriously, I'd love to take a lazy walk on the beach, listening to the gentle waves and seeing what goodies I find.“
”It's a short-term goal, but I'd really like to be able to finish the 1,000 piece puzzle of Monet's "Bridge over Lily Pond" that I bought! It's tough!”
”For this one, today, I choose my dog. I love him because he's sweet and affectionate and he's really goofy. When he plays, he tends to use his front paws to grab at the toy and he "bounces" all over the place - it's really cute. He regularly and unexpectedly flops in the grass or the dirt, and he verbally complains when he's lonely and wants to snuggle with somebody (usually me). He has wedged himself in to chairs barely big enough for a person, just to sit with or on somebody, and he's always ready to give lots of kisses.“
”I have been enjoying beautiful weather and my son's company on near-daily bicycle rides!“
”Seeing my first ever gardenia bloom on the little tree I planted. :)”
”(@Wildfire) I think its so cool that your avatar matches with your username. Also love the fact that you want to reacquaint yourself with the camera”
”I think my favorite spring memory was just last year when my fiance took me to San Francisco for my birthday. I have never been there before and one thing I loved was going to the golden gate park where I saw so many beautiful flowers blooming.”
”(@Hachi) I really appreciate the punk/bat vibe your avatar has going on. Especially with the toothy face mask combined with the sleepy sinister eyes, very premium. Your whole avi concept is very cool.”
”(@totalanimefan) I really adore your current avatar. The color scheme is fantastic and it uses my favorite item on the site, Thirteen!
Also I appreciate how active you are on Voltra. I struggle to stay active on many sites and sometimes when I go back to them, there's no familiar faces anymore and I feel a little lost and sad to see familiar names gone/inactive. It's a really warm and welcoming feeling to come back and see some of the same names. Like coming home from a long vacation!”
”(@Xaria) I love how your avatar resembles a sparkling night through the use of blue and dark dark blue with sprinkles of golden. The deer is a nice touch~”
”okay , something positive for me this week is my hubby being off work, so I get to see him more than usual uwu”
”I met a cute guy at college over a board game and we decided to secretly take over the moon together. We were seeing other people at the time, but started hanging out and playing more games together. and then we started dating on his moms birthday. and now we're married with three kids! Our wedding was amazing. we danced to all kinds of music in many languages. we had a video game console cake, with little big planet wedding toppers. our rings were in Pokeball, and we walked the aisle to Zelda Orchestra music!”
”(@Tsundererra) you have a beautiful avatar and everytime I see it, I smile. I also love that you're into Virgil and kpop :)”
”you are an amazing artist and that avi is wicked cool :o”
”I really want to go visit my friends in Taiwan and eat all the fruits there that don't keep well enough to ship out of the country, and then hike the interior of the island because it's gorgeous.”

There's something foul about the air here...
My favourite memory is probably when I said I was having a crappy birthday and a bunch of Volties came around and really cheered me up! A very lovely community

Thank you (and all the other staff) for working so hard to give us an amazing Reaping Ritual! ^^”
