"Welcome to the Wishing Forest... If you have a wish, journey down into the deepest part of this forest, where the famous Grand Wishing Tree sleeps. But beware for you might get lost or even killed. Unknown beasts roam freely in these woods. If you manage to encounter the Grand Wishing Tree, touch the trunk and make a wish. If your voice is pure and divine, the Grand Wishing Tree will grant your wish. If your voice is dark and sinful, the Grand Wishing Tree will trap you inside this forest forever..."

What a lovely intro. By the lovely Techmaga and tweaked by Hatusaru. The Grand Wishing Tree is a charity that was the continuation of DonationFairy01's charity. I won't bore you with the details. Rather, you can go here and check it out!

Neko is a crazed high schooler who is addicted to gaia. She loves pocky, neopets, and drawing. Her first serious quest was for an angelic headband, which she got with lots of support from her friends. Then she raised about 400k for a nitemare scarf, and to her shock won one in a giveaway. His name is Limerick. The OMFG is called [img left] and the BTK is [img right]. Her future OMG is Acro and her future AFK is Nym. She loves working at Grand Wishing Tree because Hatu rocks her socks. Her little sis plays gaia too, MitsukiKoneko.

Did you read the part about me winning a Nitemare Scarf? Well, I wanted to donate my old scarfie funds. It wouldn't seem fair to keep them after I was just handed an amazing item on a plate. After the usual donations to friends I had about 150k extra, so, GIVEAWAY!!! Its also to raise awareness about the charity, since we seem to be finishing a lot of wishes i think wishes may be opening up again soon...

Not expected of course, but I will reserve this post for donations anyway. Note however, that a donation will NOT, I repeat, a donation will NOT increase your chances of winning an item. I always think that threads that allow you to donate to get a higher chance of an item are pretty much just taking bribes....

Also, no botted gold please. It's sad that I need to even put this up here. I may turn down a suspicious donation.



Shadow Kiki, 100 gold heart
Poisondad, 500 gold 4laugh
LadyKaoru01, 1300 gold

White List
(Those Neko Luffs):

Hatusaru
MitsukiKoneko


Black List
(You made Neko mad...):

No One Yet ^__^



You can get on the blacklist for annoying Neko or others on the thread. If I ask you to stop something and you don't you will be blacklisted. Same goes for PMing me (If I told you to PM me in the instructions then its okay though). I have a short temper and will not give you a chance to redeem yourself. Hatu is too nice running Grand Wishing Tree, I need to balance her out with a mean streak.

Fun quotes and other stuff goes here.
First Contest:
Prize: Mochi the Puppy

For the first contest, I would like you to go to tektek.org and create an avatar using the mochi puppy. Post the avatar in the thread, and I will list it up here. You may only make one. When we have 5 entries I will choose the one I like best, and they will win the puppy.

Sounds pretty easy, right? I hope it is.... anyway, Since I will judge, lets get down to what I want to see. I like color coordination. I do not really want to see the mochi with a black and white avie, unless you can pull it off well. The hair color should not be random, but it should match with the rest of the avie. Thats it I think.

lilamerz23, Lettuce Leaf Head, Payneo, Hatusaru, Shadow Kiki


And.... *drum roll* First place goes to Hatusaru!!! Now neko isnt playing favorites, let her explain

Shadow Kiki and lilamerz23 had nice entries, but the colors were still a little more random than I prefer ^_^

I liked how Payneo's skintone matched the mochi, but there was still a lot of bright colors that just didnt mesh well.

Lettuce Leaf Head comes in second. I liked how she choose the bear pajamas- the brown fits with the mochi, bur Hatusaru really pulled off the different shade of brown. I also liked that she added a touch of black here and there to work with the mochi's collar and eyes. So, congrats Hatu!

Third Contest:
Prize: Sealed Letter

This will be a quick little writing exercise, I hope you can think on your feet. I want you to write a detailed paragraph on what the Neko that haunts the Grand Wishing Tree looks like. Is Neko a little kitten, or a jaguar? Does Neko have any colored markings? Does she still wear funky hats? Does Neko grin like the Chesire Cat? How many tails does Neko have? Is she a ghost? Use your creativity! Feel free to use these ideas as well.

The paragraphs will be judged by me. Your score will be out of ten points. 5 points for creativity and 5 for actual writing ability. You only have until 3:00 PST to PM your paragraph to me! Thats less than half an hour, get working!

Also, during this time there will be a little game of Tackle the Mule. If you see TehTwi post here, be the first to quote her with the word *tackle* and you will win avie art! I'll pm the winner and we will work out details.


Winner:
Congratulations Remedial Chemistry! Why? You won because your entry made me crack up. It twas hilarious. About the opposite of how I pictured myself, but it rocked!


Remedial Chemistry

Neko is a mascot-kitty, and as any knowledgeable anime fan will tell you, mascots come pretty standard. I have one key word for you two remember: cute. Neko's name is Japanese for "cat"--how much cuter can you get? I would never name a jaguar "kitty."

Following the anime train of thought, Neko is smaller than your average household cat; she's roughly the size of that iPod nano you've been lusting after. Not square, of course--just tiny. Would you want your sidekick any larger?

Neko is pink, in case you were wondering. Pink is the shoujo star's best friend. Of course, in the center of her head you'll find a shiny foil shape. I say "shape" because it changes, depending on her mood. I know you've come across this before on your favorite shows...

One last thing, before I cut my "short" paragraph off: Neko can talk. That's right, but only you can hear her. So before you start chatting willy-nilly in the middle of a crowded street, remember that looking like a crazy person never did much for Alice 19th.

Hatusaru was a close second though. You win avie art ^___^


Hatusaru
The Dark ShinigamiNeko... a wild, mysterious cat who lurks in the Grand Wishing Forest... None has really seen her true form. For all those who crossed her path, have failed to come back out.
Those who have seen shadows of her lurking in the forest say she is around the size of a melon. Many believe she is the pet cat of Lucifer who is in the depths of hell.

Wearing a odd talking hat she likes to drop on adventurer’s head and scare them to death to bring their souls to her master. She is known to make adventurers lose their way by telling them she knows where the tree is… or bringing them to feed a hungry bear… But these, are all just rumors… They even say that this cat has wings! Both on her head AND her back. Magnificent black and white-ish blue wings, transparent that shines in the moon-light… There is much more to learn about this mysterious creature… but that… is far too dangerous to find out…

Oh, and Ninja Zeo won Tackle The Mule for some avie art.
Fourth Contest:
Prize: Demonbow

Neko luffs riddles. The fourth contest will be to find fun riddles to stump Neko. You will have until 5:00 PST to search for riddles. PM me 3 of your favorites, and in a separate PM send me the three answers. My favorite riddle wins a demonbow.


Stats:
27 riddles were entered
Neko had heard or guessed 17
She is still confused about 1


Anyway, two of my favorites came from mystic_emerald!! Congrats!! You win the demonbow!!! I hadn't heard either of these before ^_^

A dozen Royals gathered round,
Entertained by two who clowned.
Each King there had servants ten,
Though none of them were also men.
The lowest servant sometimes might,
Defeat the King in a fair fight.
A weapon stout, a priceless jewel,
The beat of life, a farmer's tool.
A deck of cards

A headless man had a letter to write;
It was read by a man who had lost his sight.
The dumb repeated it word for word;
And deaf was he who listened and heard.
The letter in question is the letter "O".
It is zero. The man had nothing to write.
The blind could read nothing.
The person who was dumb could repeat nothing.
The deaf man listened and heard nothing.

Fifth Contest:
Prize: Sealed Letter

What would your avie looks like with a halo? Its the most expensive thing on gaia, one that we will probably never have, so this is a dream avatar contest! The catch? You must include the angelic halo. Scuttle on over to tektek.org and create an avie with this rarity. The first seven okay eight avies to be posted in the thread will be put up here.

Neko will be judging again, so keep in mind that she adores color coordiation. Don't clutter up your avie's head too much- remember, we want to show off that halo we can only dream of.

Teh Reggie, Hatusaru, Techmaga, Agronus, Nazumi-chan, White Tigerette, Alice_Bunny, xMarikox


Winners:
First place goes to Nazumi-chan!!! Why? Because using the duck hat and halo was brilliant. I adore the color scheme.

Teh Reggie and Agronus get 2k each as well, because they both came in at a close second. I adore black and yellow combos, and Reggie's was executed perfectly. The simplicity in Agronus's avie calls out to me as well ^__^

Seventh Contest:
Prize: CoCo

Every kitty needs a name... so here is another writing contest for you. You have until 11:00 PST to PM me a paragraph on what this kitties name should be and why. Start with a story! Be creative!!! Tell the story from CoCo's point of veiw if you feel like it! Remember [img right] and [img left]? Neko likes weird names!!!! Remember Limerick, Acro and Nym? Play along with names Neko likes and improve your chances hehe..... No Fluffy and Lucky... be original!!! That will win you the coco.


Winner: Teh Reggie
Why? because any cat name who can open the pickle jar deserves the name Sir Styfe Mearck of Arkwana. Okay really, it was because this was the most creative name, and because it was written in a funny way. In fact all the entries were funny and really cute. The balloons... the bomb.... kitty rejecting the name smoky, Neko luffed reading these. But Reggie won anyway ^__^


Teh Reggie
In a world before our own, before any animal's, any creature's own...there was the feline world. Kiki's and CoCo's ruled this world with the power rivaling the gods.

Legends tell of a brave CoCo whose bravery was second to none. He slayed the dragon, rescued the princess and even opened the pickle jar. However, the feline world was foolish, taking advantage of this brave warrior. They knighted him and gave him the name 'Mittens'

How shameful it was to him! He had never felt so insulted! Surely one with skills as his deserved a name that wasn't so shameful!

So, before he jumped into the raging ocean in front of the entire kingdom, he shouted the name: "Sir Styfe Mearck of Arkwana!"
