Last in Line!




Our final challenger is the fierce Satyr of the Wilds. She's seen her fellow opponents challenge you and fall all week, and she's not pleased. Take her on now, if you dare!



We hope you enjoyed this impromptu battle week! New challengers Technicant, Vulty, Pete, and The Hustler will be sticking around, but the others will be re-retired Monday evening, so get your fights in now!
Subeautique: Verdi New Bloom
Verdi New Bloom Bustle

Verdi New Bloom Tights




Hello, Subeta! Senior Style Corespondent Rana El-Amin here.



It was only one week ago that Gwenyth Verdi took our breath away in the exciting finale of the Tres Chic competition. Luckily for her, it was not the only thing she took home, also clinching the coveted prize, her very own Subeautique line. Are you ready to have your heart stolen by her latest designs?







Quote by Gwenyth Verdi:
After a new addiction to caffeine and some sleepless nights...it's finished! My very own Subeautique set is finished! Esmerelda has a very precise eye for what was suitable for her boutique, and gave pointers from the sketch stage to the finished product. Together, we considered each piece very carefully, and I tried my best to pay mind to the wonderful feedback I've received throughout the competition.



It may have lace, and frills, but I hope this line and future lines will have the citizens of Subeta excited to wear my designs. I'm already itching to get back home to the drawing board. All I want to do is sketch, sketch, sketch!




This line will be available exclusively at Subeautique, so get your invites ready for your chance to snap up a piece of these hot new trends.
A Sea Monster Returns!




Sea monster Levia has emerged from the depths to challenge the battlers of Subeta once again! But you don\'t really want to fight this adorable creature, do you? Really? Okay then, head on over to the Battle Coliseum!
Vehnam Risesssss




This fellow has been itching for another fight for a while now! Vehnam is not a particularly large snake, though, so the smaller pets of Subeta should be able to stomp him. He\'s slithered his way into the Battle Coliseum!
June 27, 2013
Sneaky Little Devil




We just caught The Hustler out behind the Weapons Warehouse with a bag full of stolen merchandise! Since we\'re in a jam here, we told him he could keep the stuff if he agreed to become a battle opponent. Look out, though; he\'s got some good weapons in that bag!
Little Birdie


We asked the Lady of the West Wind if she\'d like to return and fight again this week, and she just shrieked at us. We\'re assuming that\'s a yes. In any case, she\'s in the Battle Coliseum now!
June 26, 2013
The Shadow!




When Nacho Muerte heard that we were in need of some opponents, he donated one of his training dummies for the little pets of Subeta to pummel. Find The Shadow in the Battle Coliseum!

New Library Quest Prizes
Alexander recently placed an order for the new Fairy Tale series, composed by the famous writer Peter McGovern. However, the publishing company made a mistake, and now he has boxes upon boxes of these books in his possession!



Delphi Fairy Tales
Shadowglen Fairy Tales
Atebus Fairy Tales
Omen Islands Fairy Tales
Centropolis Fairy Tales




As an incentive to do his quests, Alexander is offering these books with the rest of his quest prizes! It looks like he received more of some than others, but he'll have plenty to go around in the end. Why don't you hurry over to the Library Quest and try to get your hands on some of these new, beautiful offerings?

Round Two


What\'s this? The good people over at Yun Enterprises heard we were in need of some new battle opponents and whipped these two up for us! Head over to the Battle Coliseum if you want to take on Technicant and Vulty!
First Challenger: Pete!




When Pete heard that the gelatin war was cancelled, he offered to be the first opponent to step up and take their place! Isn't that Pete a nice guy? You don't want to beat up such a nice guy, do you? You monster.



Head over to the Battle Coliseum to try your luck!



Note: We're releasing opponents in random difficulty order this week, so there will be both easier and harder opponents than Pete here coming along!
Terracoon Revamp




What\'s that noise out by your trash cans? Could it be something that goes bump in the night? Maybe it\'s Oscar looking for his next design inspiration? (And meal) Oh, it seems like the terracoon has gone in and come out with a brand new look! Not many creatures come out so snazzy after a trashcan raid, but these terracoons have it down to a fine art.
Change of Plans!




As some of you may have read, the achievements associated with the mini gelatins were not recording the win counts correctly. A programmer looked into it and determined that it was not an easy fix and would take time to solve.



After weighing our options, we decided it was best to cancel the remainder of the gelatin war. Instead, we will be trying something new! This week, an assortment of opponents -- some old foes, and some new faces -- will appear to challenge you in the BC. Stay tuned!

It came down to the line this round, but the votes have been tallied, and Luciana Adessi is saying goodbye to the Tres Chic competition today! Some of her goods will be available in the Cash Shop for a limited time.





"It seems like this isn't the right time for me, but I will never give up my dream. I know that I am supposed to create great things, and I look forward to the day when I see people wearing them around on the street, even if it isn't today."



We are also proud to declare our winner Gwenyth Verdi! After several grueling rounds of competition that tested their creativity, passion, and eye-for-fashion, Gwenyth has proven herself to be at the head of the class. Some of her goods will be available in the Cash Shop as well.

"I can't believe it! I worked so hard, and though I stayed positive, I never imagined that I would actually win! It's like my very own Cinderella story come true. Thank you so much to the voters for helping me achieve my goals, and thank you to the judges for all of your critique, no matter how harsh it sometimes was!



I look forward to releasing my Subeautique line as soon as possible, and I plan to make it the best that I can. Again, thank you to everyone for your support!"

The votes have been tallied, and it is time to say goodbye to Sofi Marez. While her work was strong, it seems it wasn\'t strong enough to secure the top spot in this cut-throat fashion competition! As we say goodbye to Sofi and pick up some of her work in the Cash Shop for a limited time, each of the remaining contestants climbs ever closer to the top prize, their very own Subeautique line!







"I shall not lie, I am greatly disappointed. I have dedicated my life to teaching outsiders what true fashion is and they are still too blind to see it! They are the ones that should be mourning this day for they are the ones that have lost, not me. As for me, I shall continue on with my travels; perhaps there is another city out there that can more fully appreciate what I offer!"



And with Sofi traveling into the sunset, that leaves two contestants battling for our highest honor, and what more fitting a theme than haute couture. Vote for the designer that you think truly knows high fashion!

It's the start of summer and the Millionaire Center is celebrating big by completely revamping how the shop works! Stock will now rotate seasonally, just like real stores! Items will temporarily retire for three seasons out of the year, but all will return during their own. Currently, we're stocking summer! Come fall, these items will retire until next summer.



There are a select few items that are available all year! We will be adding new items near the start of each season to give you as much time as possible to save up for and collect them. Also make sure to keep an eye open for revamps!



Update: Natasha, Ornamented Hook Swords, and The Ether are now marked as year-round items.

After counting up the votes, Oscar Cannon must say goodbye to the Tres Chic competition. While their designs sparked mixed reviews, it seems that talk alone was not enough to keep Oscar in the competition. As Oscar makes their way home, some of their work will appear in the Cash Shop for a limited time, and so fans should pick up souvenirs while they are available.







"Honestly, this is a minor setback. I'm Oscar Cannon, for **'s sake. I'm practically a legend and everyone else here was amateur at best. They obviously need this win more than I do, so let one of them have it. I'd rather get a Subeautique line on my own merit, not by winning a reality TV competition - how embarrassing."



And with that charming goodbye out of the way, it's time to vote on who has put the most charm into their design for today's theme, Fruits and Vegetables.

Loosely Tied-Up Kitten Shirt
Knitted Kitty Plushie

How to Sing Off-Tune
Sparkly Silver Kitty Ears




A major upset in the Tres Chic competition today! Primrose Potter stunned the judges and audience alike with her dramatic outburst earlier this evening, calling the competition "pathetic" and accusing her fellow contestants of selling out, among other things that cannot even be quoted!







"You know what, screw you all! I've never seen a bigger bunch of losers. My cats produce better works of art in their litter box! It's totally pathetic how you're willing to sell out your artistic vision for a few bucks, so someone can sell it in her store and cut you in however she feels like!? Screw that! I'd rather be a "failure" than a corporate tool!"



Merchandise will be available in the Cash Shop for a limited time, and with such an unexpected self-elimination, I am sure these items will be sold out in no time!



Speaking of time, it is time to vote for your favorite design that truly honors today's theme, trash!

Urban Bug Out Bag


Top Secret Designers Planner
Wasteland Leg Coverings
Kings Hair Care Set
Denizens Baggy Jacket
Skeleton Waste Sticker




The votes are in, and Camilo has been eliminated from the Tres Chic competition! It seems that his designs were just not enough for the judges, or the fans! Though the completion may be over for Camilo, some of their work will be available in the Cash Shop for a limited time, so pick up your Tres Chic memorabilia while you can!







These people, they just aren't ready for Camilo's vision. Sometimes fashion is gritty and a bit dangerous, and Camilo will make everyone see that eventually. Perhaps this part of the fashion work is too mainstream for Camilo.



Time to vote again! Who do you think would create the best Subeautique line? Give them some love!

Introducing Tres Chic 2013!
Senior style correspondent Rana El-Amin, here. The world of fashion has been abuzz with news about Tres Chic, the most dramatic and exciting fashion competition of the year. Six contestants go in, but only one of these budding fashion icons will impress the judges and earn the coveted prize: Their very own Subeautique line!



This diverse group is sure to bring us thrills as they battle to be the best. Let's meet the competitors!



Sofi Marez: This fierce half-islander lady is a world traveler, and she brings a hint of her homeland to the fashion world with subtle tribal touches. While the islands may be in her blood, fashion is in her heart, and that passion can be seen in every design, even if she is somewhat secretive and reclusive herself.



Luciana Adessi: An artist at heart and newcomer to the fashion scene, Luciana's mix of the stereotypically feminine and the unconventional is sure to dazzle. Never afraid to take inspiration and run with it, Luciana has books full of designs just waiting to be seen.



Oscar Cannon: A Centropolite through and through, Oscar puts the haute in haute couture. His attention to detail is second to none. His work boasts strong lines and precise designs, and his work pioneering the comeback of tights and leggings has already been felt in the fashion world.



Camilo: Representing the Lower East Side of Centropolis, the urban king of fashion plans to bring the style of the streets to the mainstream. A mix of the industrial and the whimsical brings a special touch to whatever The King touches.



Gwenyth Verdi: From stunning Veta Lake, this reclusive flower-child is sure to be a stunner of her own with her nature-inspired offerings. Her love of fairy tales and magic is put into her work, resulting in wonderfully whimsical designs that bounce and flow with lace and frills.



Primrose Potter: Primrose, or "Rosie", calls a reclaimed Riverside barn her home. She shares it with her with her 8 cats: Marjorie, Maggie, Molly, Mae, Midge, Madge, Mary and Milly. Quirky, with a flair for the over dramatic, she has an obsession with knitwear and vintage trinkets and a penchant for singing off-key in inappropriate situations.



Who is trendy and who is dated? Only time (and your votes ) will tell!

Upcoming Changes to the Millionaire Center
Riptide Sticker




Sometime within the next week or so we're going to be giving the Millionaire Center a little bit of a makeover. It's still going to function in the same way--hope you have some hefty sacks for all that cash--but will now rotate stock seasonally, like a real store. Some items (think potions, traps, and keepsake boxes) will remain in there throughout the year, while the majority of the stock will only be available for a few months at a time. We'll be adding new seasonal stock as close to the beginning of each season as possible to allow everyone time to save up for the fabulous new items. We want to breathe some life and excitement back into the Millionaire Center! It's going to get some more routine love which we hope you'll enjoy!



If there's something you've been on the fence about buying, you might want to consider taking the plunge!



The prices of Icekiss, Avarice, Balrog, Reborn Wand of Doom, Pandemonium, Freezewand of Doom, and Ignitious have been reduced, and the Phoenix Quill increased slightly.
