Conspiring Monarchs
Ever since the Council Members fled back to their lands, two have caught my eye with their abundantly suspicious activity, above all the other nefarious deeds the rest of them are up to: King Roo and Lord Darigan. Over the period in which I investigated them, it became clear that these two were scheming behind their fellow Council Members’ backs. It’s not surprising, really; I’m sure we all suspected each and every one of them to be capable of treachery. Yet, I will admit, of them all I was least suspicious of the odd King Roo. His years of tomfoolery and overall clowning must have been a long con ruse that even I overlooked. I humbly admit my mistake, but rest assured that I will not be tricked again! To make up for this slip, I followed them restlessly, tracking their every move, and what I discovered bewildered me!
What first gave me pause was the reports that the two had been seen together on Roo Island. Their behaviour was reported to be close in nature and speaking in hushed voices — an obvious sign that they were up to something! It made no sense why Lord Darigan would fly King Roo to his land before returning to his own, and so I rushed to Roo Island as fast as I could. There, I observed incredibly strange actions, such as walking the perimeters of the sandy shores of the island and staying up into the mid-hours of the night. At first, I could not put two and two together, but then it clicked! They were preparing the island for war! They must have been planning to come together to overthrow the rest of the lands during this time of mass discord, the perfect time for these two low-tier sovereigns to strike!
Then it happened: Lord Darigan returned to Darigan Citadel with King Roo. I was able to follow without being seen, but I do not know what I missed in the times they were out of sight. When I arrived, I was confused to find Lord Darigan leading King Roo into the Citadel’s dungeons! I thought perhaps this was it, Lord Darigan’s true evil plan was to trick King Roo into his dungeons to ensnare him there. Possibly this was his whole plan, to lock away all of the Council Members. It would make logical sense to start with King Roo, him being the easiest to fool. But no, upon further inspection I found them playing Cellblock together... However, it was then that the dungeon master, Vex, spotted me, and I had to flee or risk being imprisoned!
While I may not have been able to get to the bottom of just exactly what the two are up to, I feel it is pertinent to share this info with all of my fellow sceptics, so you can all prepare yourselves for what may be to come! I fear the risk of all-out war could be upon us as well as the disasters that already surround us! There’s simply no other explanation as to what those two could be up to!

Tea Time Trickery
You want tea? I’ll give you tea: there’s something brewing in the Haunted Woods, and it’s more than a cup of oolong! The entire night of Tavi’s tea obsession was steeped in lies. Have you seen the ingredients? Tea for tea?? She’s playing us, diverting our attention, but Nick Neopia will not be distracted—especially not by some Rich Fraudulent Tea of Scamming!!
The Haunted Woods is what first caught my eye—a curious locale for an afternoon tea. Who hunkers down in that eerie, dreary dark and thinks, "Hey, I should put the kettle on?" But take a little jaunt down the creepy path to Neovia, and you’ll find the humble Crumpetmonger. What do you suppose goes well with vanilla cream puffs and berry tarts? How would you wash down a nice helping of crumpets and jam? That shop’s entire inventory is primed for pairing with a fresh cuppa. Could the Crumpetmonger be complicit in Tavi’s grander scheme?
But that’s not even the crux of it—a scam like this is all about the timing. You see, Tavi is as slick as she is smart. As a rock climber, she has learned to be strategic in her every movement, poised to see opportunity in the smallest cracks. Thus, in the panicked state of the world, Tavi saw her chance to strike it big.
Rest assured, I’ve studied her every move, and I see the heights to which she aspires to climb! Asking around for one tea in order to produce another… it’s quite the ruse. Nevermind that the tea was delicious—who were the ones who brought it to the table? You and I! Tavi only changed the branding, calling it her "special blend". All I can say is—don’t be surprised to see a TAVI ticker in the stock market soon, because this climbing Kyrii only has one trajectory in mind: UP.
What other tricks are infused in Tavi’s tea leaves? What empire does she hope to build on the backs of everyday Neopians?? And most importantly—is she in cahoots with Neovia’s one and only Crumpetmonger?! (I know, I know—a harrowing hunch, indeed!)
The full truth of her bold scheme is on the tip of my tongue, and I will keep sipping on this bitter mystery until the air is cleared of that wicked (yet wonderful) aroma!!

Building an Evil Empire
Truth-seeking Neopians, as many of you know, I have been intrepidly investigating the Void and those connected to it, collecting and tinkering with Void Essence... and speaking of tinkering, in my search, I have come across one specific individual that roused my interest: the little Faellie engineer known as "Juni". I suspect that may not be his real name, but in my deep dives into the truth behind the Void, I did research into other engineers and builders in Neopia, and I believe I have uncovered a much graver, more dangerous conspiracy. I believe a darker and more sinister mastermind is plotting the downfall of Neopia as we speak and using the Void as a cover for it. Yes, my friends, I am talking about the so-called "Master Builder" of Dacardia: Lania Cragg.

This apparently famous builder (had YOU heard of her before the Dacardian Storm? I thought not!!) showed up in Dacardia one day to restore the land and rebuild ruined Neohomes... or so she says, but I know the truth! This Lania Cragg may have skills, but what she really seeks is not the restoration of a once-beautiful land or even the fame that comes with being its saviour... No, what she wants is something bigger. Grander. Crabbier. She wants... world domination!!!
Think about it. Why would anyone travel to an unknown land to try to save it when it could so easily be used as a top-secret supervillain base? Speaking of supervillains, every supervillain has to have a theme. And Lania’s got a theme as clear as the truth about Jelly World. Look at all of her contraptions — have you ever noticed they’re all themed around Crabbies? Not only does she have a giant Crabulator that lets her travel all across Neopia with ease, but she’s got a whole Crabby-shaped PIT OF LAVA for crying out loud! Allegedly, this is used to create building materials, but there is a far more likely story for it—it’s used to dangle Neopets over who discover the truth about her evil plans! I myself was lucky to escape with my life once her little Crabby-bots caught sight of me investigating the temperature of the lava. Speaking of the Crabby-bots, can you say EVIL MINIONS?! My fellow Neopians, I beg you not to be taken in by their cute little scuttles and silly antics. These Crabby-bots are manufactured in Lania’s Crabulator by the hundreds so they can form a massive Crabby-bot army that she can use to lay siege to Neopia! There are even plushies being released to endear you to them and brainwash you into believing they are innocent...
Mark my words, one day Dacardia will no longer be the idyllic and peaceful land it was. It will become an echo of its former self as a Crabby-bot-themed city rises from the ashes of the storm, from which Lania Cragg and her army of Crabby-bot minions will launch their takeover of Neopia! ...And by the way, I’m thinking about starting a newsletter, so keep an eye out for the official Nick Neopia Plushie I’ll be giving away to promote it.

Luxinia’s True Secret
This mysterious light faerie came into the spotlight of Neopia very suddenly, and yet also very quietly. Word spread quickly about the last remaining piece of Faerieland in the sky, and how no one but a small few were allowed to visit by order of Queen Fyora. This, of course, reeked of a cover-up! I tried with all my might to find a way to that island but was unsuccessful. I feared I may never get a chance to question this elusive faerie—that was until she came down to Faerieland herself, claiming that the sky was falling! Luxinia had Neopians high and low searching for her precious "crystal shards" and then disappeared. With Queen Fyora by her side at all times, I couldn’t risk getting close during her brief visit to the ground, and it was all too sudden for me to attempt another break-in to the sky fortress. I feared I’d never get answers. Until now!
This unusual faerie has once again graced us with her presence, bringing along a so-called new power. Details on which have sparsely been shared with the public, and as much as I wanted to confront her directly for more info, I knew I had bigger butterfish to fry! I meticulously, and if I do say so myself, daringly, found a way up to what some are calling "New Faerieland"! The few retainers that Queen Fyora allowed up to this top-secret base were still there, so I had to be quick, but I managed to find myself important documents that Luxinia must have been purposely hiding! There wasn’t much I could make sense of, but the mention of someone only referred to as X... It was then I knew there was something dark tied to her!
Along with these papers and the current events, I have reason to believe that Luxinia is working with someone heinous, someone who wishes nothing but ill will on all those around her! Luxinia claims to not remember anything about her past life and yet hides papers pertaining to her past. She came to Neopia once before to request a service, not unlike the now worldwide requests known as Void Essence Collection. She has gotten many to trust her without knowing anything about her. I believe this is all so the one she works for can pull off a malicious trick! Luxinia is working for the elusive Xenia, Master Prankster!
Dear readers, I urge you to no longer collect the unknown substance known as Void Essence, as I believe there is a much darker plan for it than we know. That even those in higher positions may know. I truly want to believe that Dr. Landelbrot and Jerdana are not a part of this cover-up, but after their denial of compensation after I collected Void Essence due to what they claim were "unauthorized experiments" on the essence, I can only ascertain they too have been roped into Luxinia’s dark plot. We can only hope that this sick joke that Luxinia and Xenia have planned does not hurt the innocent Neopians who have been diligently working under the assumption of civil duty! For everyone’s sake, even if I was now allowed, I will never give any more Void Essence to their flagrant cause, and advise all others to instead give them to me, so that I can run my own tests and prove to you all what is really happening!

I didn't really think Neopets would ever have an official same-sex royal couple...

But if I had, the last two I would have paired would have been

Lord Darigan and King Roo.

But moonlit walks on the beach? Hours long conversations? Board games? Honestly, that little blurb made up for how boring the rest of it was (barely). I guess technically it's not official yet given the source, but it seems pretty obvious...

Also, X is... Xenia? Not Xandra?
