The Void Within Plot Guide

This morning, our previously reported grey-ifying of Neopets shopkeepers has continued to spread! Today, the shopkeeper of the Grooming Parlour is the latest victim.

At time of writing, TNT have accidentally had the page link to the wrong image (they link to a png and only a gif exists), so the shop page is currently blank. This is the image that is meant to be displayed:


She also appears to be in a poor mood, saying:

Blah, what a dreary day… What do you want?
An item? You can click on them yourself. I need a break.

For reference, her usual look is:


A number of additional shopkeeper images have been uploaded to the site, but not yet made live:

• Spoiler 1
• Spoiler 2
• Spoiler 3

We'll keep you informed of any further updates!

TNT have announced the date for the next AMA with Dom, the Neopets CEO. This will be held at 5pm NST on the 27th of March. It's expected to be watchable live on Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter. (We recommend YouTube, as it's easiest.)


This AMA has been dubbed the "Void Within Edition," so will presumably contain details about the upcoming plot and the sudden grey-ifying of Neopets shopkeepers.

The host this time around has been swapped from Kevinogaming, who has hosted the last few, to Amanda of The Amanda Files.

As with the last AMA, there will be a Rare Item Code made available during the livestream for an "EXCLUSIVE unreleased prize," which we'll post about here on JN once the code is released.

In addition, a Straw Poll has been set up by TNT to solicit questions for Dom.

This morning, if you visit Unis Clothing, Ellia will have a markedly different look to usual:


She also appears to be in a poor mood, saying:

It’s okay, I understand if you don’t like anything…
Have I always had such poor taste?

For reference, her usual look is:


This appears to be related to the upcoming plot, as the image URL for Ellia's grey look contains tvw—The Void Within is the announced name of the plot. However, the previously announced roadmap for events this year placed the plot as coming after the Altador Cup this July. It is unclear if the plot has been bumped up, if this is another teaser, or if the storyline of the upcoming Festival of Neggs will tie into the plot in some way (Grey Day is on April 14th).

You may remember that the final scene of the plot teaser from last year's advent had an image of Brightvale looking decidedly grey:


It appears that whatever began in December is now spreading. We'll keep you updated if there are any more developments!
