How to Prepare for The Grey Day


by maryannyks

--------

Grey Day is one of these days in Neopia that celebrates everything grey. May it be your Neopet, Grey Faeries or any other grey items. There are lots of items to help you celebrate it in style and in this article, I shine a light on some of the essential ones. First of all, when is Grey Day? It is celebrated in the month of Eating, which is April - April 14th to be exact. And as the name "Grey" mentions it's not a particularly happy holiday. It reminds us to look at our grey friends and enjoy them as they are. Baelia, for example, is a Grey Faerie and doesn't have any magic of her own, but she is still very loved among Neopians and Neopets. And everyone loves their grey Neopets, even if they look a little sad.

      The first item you should get to celebrate this sad day is the Grey Paint Brush - to paint your pet grey for the occasion. If you don't have that many Neopoints however, don't fret! A morphing potion works just as well. Some of the cheaper ones you might find are: Grey Lenny Morphing Potion, Grey JubJub Morphing Potion, Grey Grarrl Morphing Potion or Grey Techo Morphing Potion. These will turn your pet grey - all ready for Grey Day. And as a bonus, if you never owned a grey pet before, you will get a shiny avatar for owning a grey pet. The avatar is called "Grey Wocky - *sigh*" and to unlock it, you will have to view the pet lookup of your own Grey-colored pet! Simple as that. Not to mention the avatar will look very fitting for Grey Day.

      Now to make your pet look even sadder by customizing them with the variety of Grey closet items. Starting with Neopoint backgrounds, you have: Grey Road, Grey Winter Evening Background and A Grey Day Background, any of these will help your pet look even sadder - just take your pick. If you want to add to the sadness, then there are a few more items you may want to add: Grey Clouds Foreground, Single Grey Cloud, Grey Bouquet or Single Grey Flower. There aren't many more sad or grey Neopoint items currently, but hopefully, new ones will be released soon so you can make your pets look as grey as you wish! There are a lot of NeoCash items available but since there are so many, I won't be counting them here.

      As your pet is looking very grey and fitting for the sad holiday, it's time to check out some of the grey food items. First, you would want to start your morning off with some Grey Eggs and Bacon with a Grey Toast on the side. Some classic Earl Grey Tea to go with that and you're all set. Or if this meal is a little too expensive for your taste, you can always start your morning off with some Grey Pancakes or a Grey Doughnut. For lunch, I recommend either a Grey Sub or a Grey Sandwich. Some Grey Juice to wash down the lunch and you can go about your business until dinner. And when dinnertime comes, you can start with either Grey Pizza Slice or Grey Hot Dog and then you can choose from variety of baked goods for dessert: Grey Cupcake, Grey Layer Cake and Grey Tear Cake are only a few of the sad pastries you can have when you want to celebrate being grey. And of course, there is Cold Raspberry Tea to go with your dinner.

      After all that food, it's time to read some grey books! If your pet hasn't read any grey books before, some cheaper ones to start with are: A Krawks Grey Day, Nomi the Grey Faerie, The Case of the Missing Grey Faerie and Grey Tonu Tales. There are also some more expensive ones like: Grey in the Shade, Greyed Expectations and Unwanted Grey. But if you really want to feel down, then you can read some of the saddest stories like: Serious Sadness, Sad Peophin Stories, The Sad Wocky or The Sad Shoyru.

      Once you have finished with the sad sob stories, you can get some unhappy grey toys to play with, to make you really feel the effect of Grey Day. If your budget allows you can get your pet any of the following: Grey Mynci Plushie, Grey Wocky Plushie, Grey Peophin Plushie, Grey Kacheek Plushie. If your budget is much smaller, then there are cheaper sad toys to get: Grey Chomby Balloon, Grey Faerie Snowglobe, Grey Grundo Plushie or Grey Poogle Plushie. There are more of course and surely you will find something to fit your budget and needs.

      Now that you are feeling the Grey Day, it's time to share it with your friends. Let them know you are feeling Grey with some of the following items: Dull Grey Pearl, Grey Sea Fern, Grey Eye Shadow, Scroll of Sadness or Bottle of Grey Sand. You can always send them food items, so they can taste the grey as well. Or if they like books, why not send them some grey books mentioned earlier? If they like NeoHome items, there are a few of those as well: Functional Grey Chair, Grey Bath Tub, Grey Coral Table or Grey Wardrobe. In case your friends don't like grey items, you can send them a NeoGreeting instead. There are 13 "Grey" themed ones to choose from. You'll be sure to find one you like.

      This should sum up on how to make the most of Grey Day. With the foods, books and toys your pet will surely feel a little greyer. And if you really enjoy Grey Day, why not also get a matching Petpet for your pet. This way you can always have a little bit of grey wherever you go. All in all, Grey Day is definitely special because it reminds us that even if you're Grey - we still love you and appreciate you.
