Magic Box Closed
Ah, hello everyone. Greetings are as good a place to start as any, aren't they? But I'm far too busy to linger on them, so let's move right along.
A friend of mine--I'm sure you know him, he's that lad from the Magic Box, always has fairies fluttering about--has decided to up and move to the Vetan mountains. Something about being tired of the hustle and the bustle and wanting to own an adorable cabin. I zoned out after a while, truth be told. So he's gone now, meditating and feeding antlephore and probably searching for new fairies, and the Magic Box has closed its doors.
I was left to deal with all his old stock because I'm such a great friend with so much free time. I've got all the damn boxes sorted, and those of you in need of elixirs and potions can find them at my very own apothecary. The plushies have all been sent to Zuzu, whereas Tobias will handle all the magical toy-like things. Mauve took the clothes, because of course he did, while Rose took any accessories and if you're looking for the weapons, you'd best head over to the Weapons Warehouse.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to brewing my own potions.

@BoaConstrictor It's not surprising, a lot of people are looking at that shop because of the news. I've seen elixirs already restock there, so I know it's working.
Is Lukien positive he remembered to unpack his own boxes? Actually his shop is emptier than ever now...

@introvert because they were bought quick -- while i was moving items over, some restocked there and they would be gone like in a few seconds :x
I SUGGESTED THAT
HELL YES, LIFELIKE DOLLS FOR EVERYONE!
Seriously, when I mentioned it to Amber a couple months ago, I was hoping elixirs would have been included in a Decanter revamp, but hey, her solution to fuse both shops pleased me a lot too

I loved RSing at the Magic Box, but since the stock was moved to other shops this makes sense to me. Two shops that stock similar items (Magic Box and Apothecary) is a little redundant. I'm also glad no other shops are on the chopping block though. :)
For those saying we should get to know our shop keepers better, I point to my old Shops Street Fair idea
Just sayinnnnn

I thought it was the Mystery Box at first and thought "why aren't people complaining about the achievements and stuff?"
At first I was really excited because I thought the elixirs and potions were going to go somewhere to become a permanent stocked sP sink xD!
But this is a good logical change that makes a lot of sense.
Especially the part about going into the mountains to look for fairies. HERE'S TO HOPING ONE DAY THAT A FAERIE BASED COLOR HAPPENS AND THIS IS A PRELUDE TO ITbecause no neopets didn't do faeries, they did tinkerbells, and faeries are cool/badass/mean and would be a really awesome color and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't looked passed tinkerbell/disney.

Aww, that boy was so cute. With his little fairies. Enjoy your cabin, little magic boy.
Lukien is cute too.

Seems like a pointless change to me, but it's really not a huge deal in the long haul. Only went to the Magic Box when Drills told me to, and would only get the cheapest thing. Always figured Lukien would be the one to close shop, smaller stock and whatnot.
Kind of has me worried about a couple of other shops, but as long as my beloved Carnival Stand goes nowhere, I'll be OK.

Lukien is a cutie~ Might have to start RSing just to look at him, hehe. Although the fairy guy was cute too.
Not really sure if I like the idea of all the pet potions restocking at Apocalyptic Apothecary, because of the effect it will have on battlers trying to buy battle related potions. Although, I can kinda some of the reasoning here it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to move a large volume of potions to a shop that previously only restocked a small volume of potions with more specific and different use. Battlers have already been complaining about how hard it has been to find boosters after all of the "updates" (nerfing) to quests giving boosters & such, so I can only imagine other battlers will be less than thrilled.
Totally fine with this - maybe it's hinting that these NPCs will get updates as well? Mauve and Rose seem to desperately need updates, though Zuzu and Tobias wouldn't hurt to spruce up as well. Looking at Zuzu's neck makes mine hurt.
The only reason I'm sad about this is because I was hoping that the Magic Box would someday post job listings in the Job Agency and I could have my pet Willow work there. Sad sad.
Well, bugger.
What I was going to say is that this change gives me SUCH an angle for my pet's story once I get her treasure loaded with all the elixirs and such. Eee! Brilliant!

I bet Lukien sells potions in hopes that humanity will blow each other up and cats feli can take over subeta.

I am totally echoing the wife tobias in that we need some kind of NPC event to get to know them! It's kind of a shame to have all these cool characters and not know much about them! What is Lukien's favourite colour? Is he a cat or dog person? Does he provide secret items to the battle challengers? WHO KNOWS MAN

Yes, this would be awesome. The Magic Box shop keeper didn't even get a name before he left us forever. :( So sad.Also we badly need some event with the NPC's from the shops because I don't know who is who.
I was never really big on restocking potions, so not a big deal. I hope now maybe I can get ahold of some of those magiccal tapes. First I have to figure out where they have been moved to.
I know, I figured that out, after continuing to read, still I had a shock after the initial words at first.
