The Unis Clothing Shopkeeper, Ellia, has turned grey, and her dialog text has changed to:

Part of the URL is "/plots/tvw/shopkeepers/" and it lists it as "w4.png" so I'm guessing we'll be seeing other shopkeepers turn grey in the future? Either that, or the "4" is a reference to the fact that Unis Clothing is shop ID #4.

**Orion was introduced**

Part of Scene 11: (leading into the Faerie Festival)
Mira: Thank you, it was nice of you to think of me... Having one with me will also let me continue my studies on them so I will take you up on that! You know, I was thinking I might actually come back with you to Neopia for a short time.
Kari: You want to keep hanging out?!
Mira: What? No... I just have been meaning to talk to Illusen recently. She's been wanting to see me to talk about a possible pollution problem, and with all the smog I've been seeing in the atmosphere recently, I figured this was as good as time as any to finally go see her and discuss it.
Kari: Mhm suuure! Sounds to me like you just don't want to be rid of me quite yet!
Mira: Whatever, let's just go!

And is that a VOID PAINTBRUSH!?! Please let it be a new paintbrush! Something that looks like a Voidberry in color would be AWESOME!
Also, it looks like this is our villain (or one of the villains): Drakara
Of course, Vira is also involved.

Day 6:
Orion:Reina, please we must stop the Advent Calendar!
Reina: Hold up! Orion? What are you doing here?
Orion: I know we don't know each other well, but this is important! Something terrible is about to happen!
Reina: You aren't making any sense. Why do we need to stop the Advent Calendar?
Orion: There isn't any time, we need to prepare as soon as possible. I...I don't know how I am seeing these things but I know it can't be good!
Reina: Take a deep breath, Orion! Now please start over. I don't understand what you are talking about.
Orion: I'm sorry. A...a few days ago, I was consulting my cards as I walked when...a tender and resonant plucking came to me, and moments later I tripped over this Lyre in the snow! Since then I have had terrible visions. Visions that I fear will soon impact all of Neopia greatly!
Reina: Orion, you look like you haven't slept in days. I admire your determination, but I think you need to go home and get some rest.
Orion: Please Reina, you must promise me you'll stop the Advent Calendar. Now is not the time for fun and games, something horrible is coming to Neopia, something we must prepare for.
Reina: For your own sake, go get some sleep. You look unwell! If you are still worried, we can talk more about this later.

Day 15:
Orion: Reina, what are you doing? You promised me you'd stop the Advent Calendar!
Reina: Orion, you're back? Did you get any sleep? You still look exhausted!
Orion: I...I tried, but the sound of the Lyre torments me every night, never allowing me a moment of silence…wait that isn't the point! This all needs to stop right away, you promised!
Reina: I didn't promise anything, Orion. I'm sorry for what you are going through, but Neopians rely on the Advent Calendar to bring them warmth and cheer during the most frigid time of year. I can't shut it all down over nightmares.
Orion: They aren't just nightmares!! They are premonitions! We all need to prepare! Please just listen to me!
Reina: Orion stop! The Advent Calendar simply means too much. I can't just shut it down without proof.
Orion: Fine, you want proof. I'll get you proof!

Day 26:
Orion: I have found a way to show you my visions! The Lyre...it...if...
Reina: Orion, this has gone too far!
Orion: These may be the final days of the Advent Calendar, but I need to show Neopia the visions that keep tormenting me. I don't know why they are coming to me, but I know they are important... somehow.
Reina: You really are serious about this, aren't you?
Orion: Please Reina, this is the only thing I can think to do.
Reina: Okay...how can you show us?
Orion: The Lyre! I discovered that when I play it, those who hear it share in my visions. Before, they came to me choppy and distorted... but with this, I can see the visions clear as day. And I can share them with you all as well! Please just listen!

Day 30:
Reina: That...that was...
Orion: I told you I'm not crazy!
Reina: We need to do something! We need to tell someone!
Fyora: That someone is already here.
Orion: Queen Fyora! But how did you...
Fyora: That instrument you found has been emitting an incredible amount of unknown magic. I've been investigating it for weeks and your prolonged playing led me right to its source.
Orion: Unknown magic?
Fyora: Yes, you seem to have stumbled upon a powerful artefact imbued with magic even I am unfamiliar with. Yet another troubling development...
Reina: Does that mean the Lyre is dangerous? Should we have even played it?! What if-
Fyora: Easy Reina. You were right to let Orion share his visions. It's too soon to tell what exactly this artefact is capable of, but playing it only seemed to clarify and project the visions Orion has been experiencing.
Reina: Phew! What a relief... and here I was worried I brought doom to Neopia after just my third time organising the Advent Calendar!
Fyora: Nonsense! You handled the situation quite well. I have no doubt your grandmother will be proud to hear of the compassionate Aisha you've become.
Reina: Oh! I- um- well thank you Queen Fyora... That's too kind.
Fyora: I owe you both an apology as well. I'm sorry it took me so long to find the source of this strange magic. It seems to have taken quite the toll on you already Orion.
Orion: Yes, well, I suppose I have been better...
Fyora: Come, you and I must discuss this all at once. After we find a way to get you some sleep that is!

The shopkeeper's quote was odd as well:





Note: I snagged the shopkeeper image and am hosting here in case it changes in the future...

If you buy something at the shop, the Shop Keeper is happy again to haggle and if you purchase... (Unhappy again if you go back to browse the store)


Also of note - they are both the same file name, but the unhappy/grey uni is a .png and the happy uni is a .gif

Dialogue has changed to

I'm hoping it will show up on site so I can get a smaller version of the image. O.o

He seems thus far his normal polite self, though.
