What to Do if You Missed Jhudora Day

Anyways here are a few simple steps you can take to possibly prevent horrible misfortune from falling upon you as consequence for your chronic forgetfulness.

1. Start off by doing a few bad deeds in Jhudora’s name. Remember that Jhudora is trying to hit a careful (public) balance here of evil but not so evil that Queen goody-two-shoes Fyora has to do something about it so don’t mess this up for her! Make sure your deeds moderately evil only: trip a few grarrls (hard to stand up with those stubby arms), donate a few poisonous lollipops to the money tree (not only are they Jhudora’s colors but they’ll give any pet who eats them Floppy Tongue), call the Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity mean names (really give him something to frown about), use your imagination. You’ll never be as good at being bad as Jhudora but she wouldn’t want it any other way.

It may be tempting to double up on evil acts in Sloth’s name and evil acts in Jhudora’s name but this is a big no-no. They have very different goals not to mention it makes your actions seem disingenuous--if you really care about making a heartfelt apology all your free time doing thematically different bad deeds is a small sacrifice to make, don’t you think?

2. Pledge undying fealty to Jhudora. If you’ve already pledged undying fealty to Dr. Sloth this may be a conflict of interests. On one hand it could be flattering to renounce loyalty to Sloth in favor of Jhudora, but you’ll have certainly burned all bridges with the glorious Dr. Sloth and will be subject to his severe displeasure. On the other hand renouncing loyalty to Sloth in favor of Jhudora could be seen as disloyal and flakey on top of subjecting you to Sloth’s anger. On the other other hand (wow, Dr. Sloth is really reaching new mutant frontiers, isn’t he?) not pledging loyalty to Jhudora doesn’t really show a strong desire to make up for forgetting her special day… Guess you’ll have to decide whose bad books you’re more worried about being in.

3. Successfully complete a quest (or fifty) for Jhudora. Look, your bank account balance is a small price to pay to make Jhudora happy. If you’ve already depleted the balance purchasing reconciliatory Sloth memorabilia, well…good luck!

4. Chose a Jhudora themed avatar and font. Now, this step will be difficult if your font is already Sloth themed as changing it would be near heretical, but I believe in you, my good (doomed) Neopian! The [b]Jhudora’s Cloud Avatar[/b] should be no trouble at all since no doubt you’ll finish up 20 consecutive Jhudora Quests in no time, unfortunately you no doubt have yet to achieve the [b]Evil Jhudora Avatar[/b] since you failed to properly observe Jhudora Day and will simply have to wait until next year to display your devotion through it. For your neosignature you can never go wrong with green, purple, and general malevolence.

5. [b]Don’t[/b] dress up like Jhudora. You think you could pull off her look? You? Your pets can’t pull it off either, by the way. It would just be embarrassing. Anyways, they’re already busy dressing up in tribute to Sloth, aren’t they? [i]Maybe[/i] wear some purple and green, just remember they aren’t your colors and Jhudora looks much better in them.

6. Buying some Jhudora collectibles would be nice, but buying Illusen and Fyora items and then discarding them so no one can have them would be even nicer. Depriving others of things they want and sticking it to Fyora and Illusen is a way better tribute to Jhudora than a collection that is going to sit collecting dust. The one exception is the Flower Jhudora Doll. Buy as you can and discard them, they are an indignity that cannot be allowed to stand.

7. [b]DO NOT[/b] observe Illusen Day on the 17th Day of Running. She is, after all, Jhudora’s worst enemy. Take on some Illusen Quests and fail them all, wasting her time. Grab some dung from the Meridell Rubbish Dump (they’ve certainly got enough of it) and fling it into Illusen’s Clearing before running away shouting. Spread nasty rumors about Illusen--she acts so nice she must be hiding something awful, you’re like an investigative journalist if investigative journalists made mean things up based on unfounded suspicions and dislike and spread them as fact. Get creative in your methods of ruining Illusen’s reputation and vandalizing her home, just remember: [I]moderate evil[/I].

8. Stay away from Jhudora’s Bluff on moonless nights when an eerie green glow emanates from within the castle walls and incomprehensible chanting echoes over the hills. Who are you to snoop around anyways, Illusen!? Part of being a good devotee of Jhudora is knowing when to mind your business, so go mind it somewhere else!

9. On that note, stay away from Jhudora in general. No really, she lives alone up on a hill outside of Faerieland, what about that says she wants company to you? Self sufficiency is…whatever the evil version of a virtue is. Do her quests, do some bad deeds in her name, and stop bothering her. She’ll contact [i]you[/i] if she needs you for something.

10. Maybe invest in a planner? This isn’t meant as an apology to Jhudora specifically but maybe you’ll stop forgetting important dates if you start using one since this seems to be turning into thing for you. You can get a Calendar Planner in user shops for less than 3,000np and a Jhudora Pen for just 1,000np, a drop in the bucket compared to what you’re already spending on Sloth, Illusen, and Fyora collectibles plus Flower Jhudora Dolls, not to mention the time investment of appeasing two great--one in a [i]moderate[/i] way--evils simultaneously and the mental toll of the looming sense of dread while waiting for their displeasure to fall upon you. Just saying, you could save yourself an awful lot of neopoints, time, and fear if you were a little more organized.

And those are the simple steps to show your remorse for missing Jhudora Day. Some may seem difficult given the lengths you’re already going to to plead Dr. Sloth’s forgiveness or even downright contradictory and impossible but I’m confident you’ll figure something out or otherwise face the consequences of your inactions.
