Only the clueless haven't read the Neopedia article about the Grey Faerie who begins her quest to find her new name. What is the perfect occasion to celebrate all of this? Grey Day, of course! The 14th of this month...

Scaling Shenkuu



The object of this game is simple: get to the top of the mountain. You do this by throwing a grappling hook attached to the end of a rope at rock ledges above you so you can propel yourself further upward until you reach the summit. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

I can tell someone will come soon. They will approach Maria, that pink Uni you saw, they will enter this very room... and see you..."

"A Cold, Grey Rain" by maxalt
A cold, grey rain drizzled slowly down onto the cold, grey, gloomy city of Neopia Central, covering everything and everyone within it in a cold, grey, dripping layer of (coincidentally) cold, grey raindrops.
