July Crates Have Arrived!
Is it July already? It feels like June just flew by!
My brother and sister have another crate for you all this month, have you guys been waiting as impatiently as I have? Well no need, because here they are!
Have you been wanting a more mystical look? Urro the Corrupt is here to grant that wish! Or maybe you're looking to have a little flirty fun, I'd suggest spending some time with Tootsie. But for those of you out there with a strong sweet tooth, a new rare has arrived on the scene. If you're lucky enough, you might run into the refreshing Strawberry Delight.

I have an important announcement to make regarding that Summer design contest I reported on. It seems the lovely Velvet Wattson decided on the winners! I personally oversaw all your entries and phew! I can assure you it wasn't an easy choice at all! You all had such amazing and creative entries! But there could only be three winners... And taadaa! Here they are!
FIRST PLACE
Okios with "Lobster Suit". You will receive your item in all 35 colours! That's a lot of fish!
SECOND PLACE
Rayon Declaire with "Ice Cream"
THIRD PLACE
Raxton with "Coconut"
Congrats to the winners, but I want each and every one of you who entered to feel just as proud! That was an amazing turn out! I've heard Velvet was very inspired by the overwhelming creativity!

What a week it's been folks! Shout out to Vyctor for letting me commentate his volleyball tournament! Of course, he was too busy creaming the competition to do it himself. Let's give another round of applause for our winners, Virgil and Vyc from Team Ice!
But in all honesty,all the teams put up a great fight, and it was all thanks to their fans! It warmed my heart to see such a supportive and rambunctious crowd cheering for their faves!
Vyctor thought so too, so he wants to pay you all back! As you know, we just recently had a celebration to commemorate this amazing event, but there's still some party favours that need to be handed out!
All volties have been granted a FREE Treasure Goodie Bag! Huge thanks to Glume for pulling this one up!
In addition, seashell drops have been increased! The rates are now:
• Event Forum: 4-5 shells
• General Forums: 2-3 shells
• Games Forum: 0-1 shell
So grab them while you ca- wait what's this? I'm getting reports of something strange... Apparently large amounts of rats have been spotted on the beach! I guess even rodents need a vacation sometime but... What are they up to, traveling in a pack like that? Hm... This needs further investigation!
