Hey, Gaians! For a really long time I thought the "blogosphere" was some kind of terrible underwater prison, but it's not! Me and Kanoko have been checking out some blog posts about "shipping," which is when people draw pictures or write stories about characters they'd like to see pair up... and we're swooning! heart heart heart

Some of them are pretty logical, and some are completely out of left field, but all of them are making us squeee~! Come experience the feels with us! Every time you open a Ships Happen, we'll scroll down a little further and take a look at another possible ship. And regardless of what ship we see, you'll get a neat item! It might be a Cash Shop favorite, a valuable rare item, or a brand new exclusive!

Happy Friday, EI fans! Song of Amour is getting pretty serious, and I'm getting pretty serious too-- about people taking hour-long breaks in the bathroom! See, a couple of the less-inspired lab guys like to go play games on their phone and hang out in there for long periods of time. I probably never would've noticed, but the plumber said that someone had stored a huge plastic sack full of gummy worms in the toilet tank that had ruptured and gummed up all the pipes. We had to pay a huge bill! What a mess. Oh yeah, items!

Ah, so nice! Don't forget to vote in the weekly EI poll to give your feedback! Now that that's over, I've got an appointment with a gummed-up drain and 300 slimy sugary worms. See you next week!

EI Report: Song of Amour and Paramour's Break!

Another week of exciting advancements in the field of Evolving Item science! Not only do we have a thrilling update to an existing EI, we've got a brand-new Rapid EI making its debut. Let's have a look:

User Image


    User ImageNew! Paramour's Break Knox clasped Vera's hand and gave it a light squeeze. "We're in this together then..?" Vera gazed into Knox's eyes and nodded solemnly. "Together." He brushed her hair back and linked a delicate chain around her neck. The pendant was that of their team emblem. She smiled at him and they took a deep breath.

    At once, they burst out the door, guns blazing and swords flying. Nothing would get in their way to escape the syndicate. They would live their dream to escape to a better life...but that would not come without one final trial...

    User Image This week in the Song of Amour: the stranger appears before Faith again. She notices his sheath and becomes nervous as he approaches her. Before he can say a word, her boss intrudes and vows to have the stranger killed by his men if he approaches Faith again. Though she usually looks shamefully downward, Faith can't resist looking up to see this mysterious man.

    Their eyes meet, and suddenly she remembers everything. Her so-called “boss” is really her kidnapper! Long ago, she was stolen away from her lover for her beautiful voice. Fidel has come to take her back. The boss, realizing who this man is was, grabs of Faith and drags her back into corridors, leaving his men behind to finish off Fidel.


My, my! All this melodrama has set my heart aflutter-- or maybe this weird thumping feeling in my chest is because I ate that delicious egg labeled "ALIEN EGG - ABSOLUTELY DO NOT EAT" from the research team's biohazard ice chest. I guess I'll find out soon enough! If you'd like one of these hot items for your personal collection, you can grab them now in the Cash Shop. Be sure to stop by the weekly EI poll and vote for your favorite!

Get a head start on March's CI with Advance Chance!

Listen, a very important thing happened to me last weekend that you need to know about. I left my private, personal blog accidentally logged in on a public machine and someone changed my blog's name to "Big Legs Momma" for some reason. I don't have big legs and I'm certainly NOT a mother, but I was able to fix everything and change my password back. No matter who asks, I'm NOT secretly named "Big Legs Momma" online and have never been!

This story, by the way, has absolutely nothing to do with March's Advance Chance!

    User Image What will the next CI be? Nobody knows, but you’ll get the first crack at it with the March Advance Chance. On the day of the next CI release, you’ll be able to open your bundle and start reaping the rewards of your CIs hours before they’re released to the general public, so you can start listing items on the Marketplace when hardly anyone has their hands on them yet.

Grabbing the Advance Chance could be a great way to make a little extra on the side. Big Legs Momma would absolutely approve if she were real, but she's not! She's not a real thing! Let's never speak of Big Legs Momma again!

Hey there, EI fans! Exciting updates this week with both Song of Amour and Paramour's Break! Almost as exciting as what happened to me last weekend. I was at the mall minding my own business and fell asleep inside the smoothie shop at the food court. (Seems that 64 oz. of mango smoothie knocks you right out!) You'd think there would be plenty of smoothies to drink while waiting to be let out the next morning, but they emptied the big vats and the blenders before they left for the day, so I made my own smoothie out of both of my socks and one of my shoes. It tasted awful but it kept me alive until they unlocked the doors 45 minutes later. Oh yeah, the items!

    Paramour's Break
     - After clearing out the area, the lovers quickly ran across to their next destination. Vera's heels clacked against the pavement as they made their way for new cover. They knew all too well that more of their former brethren would soon infiltrate. Although they were a skewed type of family, the members were loyal to only one man and they would receive no assistance. The syndicate's cardinal rule was that once a member was initiated, they could not leave-- not unless they had a death wish.

    As expected, another wave of henchmen came upon them. As projectiles began to fly in their direction, Knox emptied his clip and quickly pulled out two smaller pistols from his jacket and continued to fire until they all went down.

    In a darkened surveillance room, a mysterious man sighed and ran his fingers through his silvery hair in annoyance as he watched the two move on... "If this keeps up, things will have to get serious."

    User Image
    Song of Amour
     - Fidel fights through the kidnapper’s men and reaches the end of the corridor. He opens the door and is surprised to find Faith locked away in a cage. With only the kidnapper now between them, he lunges upon the man and runs his sword through him. He frees Faith and the two make their exit before being caught by the kidnapper's men-- smiling and looking into each other's eyes, they leap out of an open window.

    The kidnapper's men run up and look out the window at the ground below expecting to see two bodies, but finding nothing as two love birds fly out to the horizon. The soul mates are finally reunited again.


So amazing! Please remember to vote in the weekly EI poll. Time to go sock shopping, see you next time!

When it's time for me to catch up on what's going on in the world of blogs, my routine typically starts me out at Chester's Accounting Blog, which tends to make salient points on office life with some tongue-in-cheek humor. From there I go to RatsPlus, Pete's Milk Memo, Photos of Dogs in Dance Clubs, and wrap it all up with a quick stop at Grandma's Home Repair Adventure.

With that kind of routine, you'll imagine my surprise when I saw the riveting link Rina had sent me. In fact, here, I'll just copy and paste our exchange:

    xXxRina2003xXx: ivannn~! loook at this omg kanoko and i are swooningggg heart
    BuffboyIvan: Is it work safe? I'm at my desk.

Rina and Kanoko are browsing their favorite blogging site, and while searching their favorite tags they stumble upon other users reblogging some of their favorite Gaia pairings. Open a Ships Happen to surf the blogs with Rina and Kanoko, and you'll see one of their favorites and receive a fantastic item! It could be a Cash Shop favorite, a valuable rare item, or an incredible new exclusive. Ships Happen leaves the Cash Shop on Friday, March 8th. Grab one or a bundle of nine to maximize your shot at getting the best stuff!

Hey, EI fans! This week, Paramour's Break takes an exciting turn when the pair is faced with a shadowy figure. Same thing happened to me a couple days ago-- some old guy came to the lab thinking we were a vacuum cleaner repair place. Before we realized what was going on he had lugged the thing in and started explaining that it wouldn't turn on, then plugged it in and it burst into flames! We put it out really quickly, but the whole lab smelled like burning rubber and plastic so I took everyone out for froyo for a few hours while the room aired out. Everything turned out just fine, and we got sweet, delicious froyo. It was so cold and sweet and good... I wonder if there are any appliances around the lab that could catch fire for a few seconds? Nothing drastic, just a small fire so we can go get some m-- Oh, items!

     - Vera stood up and looked across the compound. "We need to keep moving!" Knox grinned at her, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his sleeve. "You look nice tonight," he teased. Vera blushed and furrowed her brows at him. "This isn't the time, Knox! We have to focus!"

    A loud booming sound and smoke and fire filled the range. Coughing, they watched as the shadow of a familiar figure emerged. Knox growled, "Slater."

    The man smirked. "Please tell me why my favorite duo is trying to leave our happy home? I must hand it to you both, you now have my undivided attention..." With determination, they looked on at the man. This would be it-- the final battle...


Isn't it getting really good? Better than froyo, even! Better than its sweet, addictive taste that'll make me do anything to get my hands on it. I don't need a cup, just put it right in my hands. Give give give give... Oh, vote in the weekly EI poll! See you next frozen yogurt!

We all know that no amount of prying will open the Advance Chance before its time, but I've been experimenting with a new technique: staring at it. I figured with enough concentrated staring, maybe I could loosen the seals on this baby just enough to get a glimpse inside.

Well, I have some exciting findings to report. During the third hour of today's staring contest with the March Advance Chance, I swear I saw the ribbon wiggle a little bit! I don't know if it was my latent psychic abilities that did it or if it's just a coincidence, but one thing is for sure: this thing is set to pop!

Surely the weakening seal means the new CI is imminent-- if you want to get that sweet head start, you'd better grab an Advance Chance soon!
