 | The Setting SunThe heat of the afternoon had given way to a simmering eventide, the stagnant air a miasma of compressed sweat, the lingering odour of abandoned food and drink, and the ethereal emptiness created by the recent vacancy of what was once a massive crowd.

How to Stave Off Boredom at the Neopian Hospital
You’re volunteering at the Neopian Hospital. Repeatedly. Three or four shifts a day. And when you started, it sounded exciting. But it turns out that in between treating the occasional case of Neggitus or Sneezles and waiting for the waves of Neopians injured fighting Voidlings in Brightvale, volunteering at the hospital is … actually pretty boring. What’s a Neopian to do? Find ways to make things more interesting, of course! Here are some ideas to try in this guide to staving off boredom while volunteering at the Neopian Hospital. 1. Volunteer to help with the food. Hospital volunteers get a meal during their six-hour shifts, and the hospital always needs volunteers to feed the other volunteers. Some days, you won’t get much of a respite—you just ladle up the Lamb Broth that the Soup Faerie dropped by, and you’re back to sewing up stitches in 20 minutes. But on days when the food prep is a little more intense, you can spend an hour or more chopping ingredients and baking Fruity Swirl Souffle. And yes, while it’s annoying for that elderly Elephante orderly to always ask for a cheeseburger with no cheese, cut in half—it’s way better than treating 72 cases of Watery Eyes. 2. Volunteer to pick up supplies Someone has to run to the pharmacy to get more cures; why shouldn’t it be you?
