Cash Shop: Empty Mask Box

Fill them up, dears. Every box, every corner, every container, yes. Can't face the emptiness, can't bear to look and see nothing where something is supposed to be. The masks protect me, they are my friends, yes they are. The masks keep them away from me, the faceless ones. I met one once, yes, I carved him a mask from things I held dear, things that were all I had, until my fingers bled, because I couldn't go on living in a world where he existed without a face. I will never be without a mask again. I will never lose the protection of the masks. Not in life, and not in death. I will not crumble.

I will not crumble.

I will not… where is my mask?


Empty Mask Box
Always keeping to herself but never alone, Olivette soars above Ziara in her cluttered dirigible, stopping every year to sell masks to ball-goers. Nobody knows her age, and some say she refuses to die. She runs from death, she will not be forgotten, her face will not disappear from people's memories. But she has been running for so long, now. The nightmares have become more frequent, and Olivette fears that her time has finally ticked down to 0.

Help Olivette face her fears by picking up the Empty Mask Box from the Cash Shop and defeating The Faceless Ones!

Eerie Mash Tun will retire on April 1st.

Pointless to buy it because I'm a long way off from beating this challenger... but I kinda want to just to stare at the artwork LOL

well, olivette, at least you're not the only one with that fear. sigh now if only i could convince massive amounts of people to come and beat up the physical manifestation of my fears.

annoying cow this one is. especially with stealing

Seems to have come in the right timing. With mental illness on the rise, it is fitting the purpose. I would safely assume this arised because of that?

Whenever I try to get people to come join Subeta I'm like "THE LOOOOOORE IS SO GOOOOOOD!" And here is some more gooooooooooood stuff.

Seriously the art and the story here are just spectacular. I'm digging it.

Dude I love this lore, and I love anything mask related. I really cant wait to put mine up in my new place.

I am digging how everything is getting so creepy here with regards to lore and NPCs

OH. I also happened to think of this today.
Amber kept insisting that we did not need to be naked to... something-something-possible-spoiler-something right?

Well.

Look at these guys.
Do they look clothed to you???

And on that note, what the heck is Gabriel... I remember him in the omen islands plot, how he seems nice but talked about how he may wash or faces off completely if he wasn't careful, maybe with maniacal laughter... dang I'm old...
He is just a faceless boy! :D ha! (let's see if I can get old time-y subeta info correct...)
Ok, on subeta, we used to have small, I'm going to say 64x64, square images for our avatars. When our current system of Human Avatars (HAs) came out, Gabriel was used to allow us to trade in our old, image squares avatars for a random piece of wardrobe clothing! Fun fact, he also loves tomatoes. haha.

As for what he might be on subeta is still up for debate. Personally, I really hope that there's a bunch of them living on/around Shengui Guo and maybe one (if not the one we all know already~) working at the tea house we're supposed to get. And, I'd love to see the guy get an update for his art and/or be a more involved NPC.
There is also a kind of monster called a nopperabo that messes with people by looking normal but then remove their fake faces to freak people out. (pretty much the gifs I keep on posting. heh.) They're perfectly harmless, so they're both the best kind of monster and happen to be one of my favorites.

Is that going to happen? Probably not. But, hey, I can dream, right?
And, speaking of dreams, here's another little gif for everyone's collective nightmares~ ;)

the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home is going to love this art c:
Ambition
She needs to travel through time and space through a rift and get some age or become RIFT-immortal! :D

I love this artwork! Are we allowed to sue official subeta artwork like this for pet pages (not as custom overlays or anything like that)?
Merida
Now that would make a great backdrop!
bonita
Awesome description. Amazing art!

Downside? Now I have to buy two...
Aya
I...love this art...
Florrosada12
THE MASK IS OLIVETTES FACE.

And dang, I can feel her fear of not wanting to be forgotten and the fear of the afterlife.

And on that note, what the heck is Gabriel... I remember him in the omen islands plot, how he seems nice but talked about how he may wash or faces off completely if he wasn't careful, maybe with maniacal laughter... dang I'm old...

I just had to pop back on for a minute and make another reply about this.

Because. Damn, I really hope that whoever drew this realizes what a spectacular job that they did on it.
The idea behind it is such a simple one and they came out with this and it is straight-up gorgeous.
The variety of the posing and the interaction between the figures is just a delight. That had to be hard to work out, but it works so well.
The shading on each one is just so goddamn lovely and the way that the colors go from being pale towards the top of the hoard to a darker grey at the bottom? It's pleasing. The bits of cracking and crumbling? Man, that's nice. Not too much, just enough to get the idea across.
It really draws you in and has just so many little parts going on at the same time, no single place draws your attention for long, but it's not too busy or cluttered either.

It's visual candy and I don't think that I can properly say how great I think that it is, but I tried.


Then again, what do I know anyway? haha.

@DoomQueen

Who is Gabriel????

And poor Olivette, the fear of being forgotten is a feeling felt by many.
Synth
Oof, I don't blame Olivette for running away from these guys. They stole all my weapons and beat up my pet. Rude!
(Amazing artwork though!)
Speiro
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
Muerte
I will destroy them all to protect Olivette.

Everything about this is so pretty. The challenger, the book, the BG (that big orange mask is wicked), and the box. I love it all.
