Breaking News: Meridell Turns Grey!
The Grey Curse. The mysterious pandemic that has been striking Neopians helpless across the world. You’ve seen the victims. The Grey colour, the miserable expressions, the droopy ears. (If they even have ears.) And now, the curse has infected neither a shopkeeper nor a daily: it’s taken Meridell itself. Alright, I admit it, when I first heard that King Skarl had been infected, I party-danced around my Neohome, throwing confetti into the air in celebration. I’m an avid Darigan Citadel supporter and saw this as a wonderful opportunity for both kingdoms. (With that tyrannical slob out of the way, the Citadel can get justice at last, and Meridell can finally throw free the shackles that had bound it for so long!!!) But then I learned that the curse had taken Jeran, Tormund, and Lisha. WHAT KIND OF TWISTED CURSE INFECTS THE AWESOME, SELFLESS HEROES ALONGSIDE THE TYRANT?!? Sorry, I lost my temper there. Thankfully, the Citadel has been spared. (My owner has a Darigan Aisha. He’s even more relieved than I am.) You may be wondering: “When did this all start?” The first hint that something was wrong came when the shopkeeper of Uni’s Clothing mysteriously turned Grey. No Paint Brush, healing item, or Faerie’s spell could cure her. A week later the Grooming Parlour was infected as well. The Breadmaster and Hubert’s Hot Dogs soon followed. Then Kari the Negg Faerie herself suddenly turned Grey just days before the Festival of Neggs, nearly derailing the festivities! The proprietor of the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop fell to the curse next, then the Bank Manager, Coltzan, and (gasp) the Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity! I know. I’m grieving too. The Giant Omelette came next (how do you depress food?), then the Wheel of Knowledge, the Money Tree, and Trudy’s Surprise each turned Grey and miserable. And then, just the other night, all of Meridell was cursed with depression and Greyness. Everyone’s wondering what caused this calamity, so I decided to do some digging. It wasn’t easy, but after reluctantly dismissing Mutant Kadoaties (I’m onto you!), I managed to uncover a few tantalising hints about the curse...and what caused it. First off, there have been multiple sightings of a mysterious Grey Paint Brush decorated with a small skull and curved horns. The Paint Brush has been seen in the hands of...
