Hi everyone,

Founder’s Beta is starting real soon so this will be the final entry made up of Closed Beta screenshots. Woot!!

Can’t wait to meet everybody, including GM-Calealen, who is old XP… and Karen/Plutochan, Starrfire, msmisery, iheartbadtz, fairlady, Noliai, foxy cleo, angie, bunnywinx, chickling, kiyoko, victor5, havel, theola, tidesong, videogamer, hkfood, sailor scouts, Sailoria, BBE, Dawn, Kel, Little Wonder, NoMeNot!, MidNiteEyes, Kaioh, shesroyaltee, and the list goes on… omg, sometimes like Yingdong, I wish can I belong to several guilds all at once! Muahahaha… Anyway this picture was instigated by GM-Tadakatsu.

Remember all the houses we built in ripplecloud’s virtual musces at work scrapblog? Well of all these houses, we almost couldn’t complete BBE’s!

And that is not because BBE had fallen asleep while playing the game (although she does that at times! XD; who wouldn’t if one has a big fat Dino for a pillow ;P )

In fact, at one point BBE had completed her house, BUT it disappeared again! Rollback? Possibly.  Whatever the reason, all we could do was to roll back our sleeves and start whacking at her house again.

But at late afternoon Asia time, there was nobody else from the guild online :O So the house building went really slowly, with only the two of us cultivating it.

Imagine our surprise when a cute blond appeared before our eyes and said:

• “I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice. In the name of the moon, I will right wrong and triumph over evil… and that means my guild will help you build your house!“

She was Sailoria, the leader of Sailor Scouts guild.

By the way, her birthday seems to be around the corner.

What a kind and generous offer! But it took quite a while for BBE and I to leave Made in Holland and join the Sailor Scouts. :( It’s surprising how one can get attached to something in a few short weeks.

But at the click of a button, our new allegiance was sealed. And more sailor scouts appeared out of nowhere to help build BBE’s house. Woot!

The guild chat was buzzing with activity as we whacked at the house. Sailoria told us about how her guild had completed all their houses. Since she was free, she started visiting other houses and found Debbie building her house all by herself! Sailoria offered to help her then, and that was how the Rescue the Homeless movement started.

[Note: I was always feeling guilty because Debbie had PM-ed me for help but I couldn’t leave BBE’s house :( So I am still extremely glad that Sailoria found and helped her when she did. ]

BBE’s house was soon completed! But that was not the end of this story. Some of the Made in Holland friends came online and joined the Sailor Scouts in helping the homeless as well! There was Kel, NoMeNot!, MidNiteEyes, Kaioh, LittleWonder :D It was as if we were all infected with Sailoria’s energy (and she was energetic considering she had gone without sleep for 24 hours!) and we went on to help with the other homeless players.

There is a bug somewhere in this picture :P

And then another…

It is awful to be building while standing ankle deep in water :( I strongly advise against this padi-field themed farm! …. XP ok I am joking …

All the time, Sailoria was coordinating with GM-Hak to deploy construction volunteers where needed. GM-Hak (the brown guy with the caterpillar) was also walking around the farms to ensure we don’t run out of juice.

We started on Micher’s house pretty late and even the GMs were unsure if we could make it, although they said it was worth a try.  Perhaps we were the last house building, so there were people stopping by to see the last ditch effort. It was like a house party, without a house :P

We tried the best we could, but as the clock ticked by and Micher kept being disconnected, we could not complete this house in time. :( But Micher was very grateful and even sent us an email after that. I hope you are getting along well in life Micher, wherever you are!

In the final minutes to the end of HKO Closed Beta, we gathered together in Florapolis at Daniel’s platform and waited for the end.

Fast and furious words
resistance to depart, still

… continuing from Purin is under attack by Cinnamoroll’s army… 

•ω•

Hi everyone! It’s me Purin! I’m a simple puppy but this time I really understand what it means to have my heart in my mouth. It was scary to see the Light Arrow fly towards Cinnamoroll.

For a moment I thought maybe the Dark Lord made Cinnamoroll go out of his mind… or maybe like Snappy says, the Dark Lord made Cinnamoroll think that he is invisible invincible.

I think I wouldn’t be half as horrified if a flying monkey was chasing me! Although that will never happen *puppy giggles* because we don’t have flying monkeys in SanrioTown and not on HKO in Closed Beta. :D

Anyway, you must be wondering what happened to Cinnamoroll next! Well, I was so surprised to see the Light Arrow flashing in the air :O and when it almost touched Cinnamoroll’s fur, the Light Arrow magically became a ball of Light instead! The ball of light sort of went all around Cinnamoroll and then there was a lot of thunder and lightning. But I’m not scared at all :) because it was sort of like what happened before Melody got buried in Donut Pond :( Oh I miss My Melody D:<

*brightens up* You will be happy to know that we didn’t need to bury Cinnamoroll this time. No siree! The Light Ball sort of wobbled and grew bigger and then smaller and then bigger and then smaller around Cinnamoroll. And Kiki was worrying that maybe it was because the Light Arrow wasn’t strong enough because I bothered Link when he was shooting it.

But guess what, the Dark Cinnamoroll in the light ball suddenly shouted in an awful voice “Oh i can’t STAND THIS ANYMORE!” and then there was a loud clap and the light ball splitted into half, and a dark shadow flew out of it and away through the squawking black birds! All those birds fled then. (They dumped Mimmy in the bushes when they fled, don’t worry she’s fine.)

Cinnamoroll also fell through the cracked light ball like egg white from cracked egg shells, and the light ball halves bobbled him along until he fell gently at our feet. He was lucky I tell you!

Then Snappy took one look at the dazed Cinnamoroll and and said our dear Cinna was free!! Yay!! Actually I already knew Cinna was free even before Snappy said so, haha, because look!! Cinnamoroll has turned back into a nice white puppy again!

This is a portrait of Cinnamoroll darwn by Megarose at the time he was free of the Dark Lord. Megarose happened to be travelling around then, and she’s very interested in drawing strange animals. She probably thought Cinnamoroll looked strange. He certainly looks loopy in this portrait to me. But Mama says Cinnamoroll has been though a lot and just needs more rest to get better again, and that I am not to go around saying that he looks loopy. So you didn’t hear that from me! :P

Oh look, Link, Snappy and SuperForce are just back! They went to chase after the dark shadow that fled from Cinnamoroll’s body just now.

Snappy: What do you plan to do with this Dark Bow? The Dark spirit that took over Cinnamoroll must be hiding inside, waiting for the time when someone else plays the Devil’s Trill again.

Link: I will take it back to my world where it will be easier to destroy.

Snappy: That sounds like a good idea.

Purin: Oh Link, are you leaving already?

Link: It is time. Our task here is done.

And as we walked back towards my house together, the sky suddenly turned dark and the wind fiercer and a sand flew in my eye. And when I opened my eyes again, guess what, I am back in SanrioTown! I couldn’t believe it either, but it’s true!

And the bad news is that Link, Snappy and SuperForce are all gone! I think they’ve all gone back to their own worlds… I’m… all alone now … … …

… to be continued…

Thought I’d share some pictures, in case anyone is interested at all :P. Heehee. The cars were really loud, so loud my eardrums trembled, even with earplugs!

It was qualifying night, and Ferrari’s Felipe Massa sped ahead at the last … I can’t even say second XD… to clinch the pole position at 0.664seconds just ahead of McClaren’s Lewis Hamilton.

It was a fun race to watch, even if this was just the qualifying round. Force India crashed twice at the same spot! While Renault’s Fernando Alonso, who clocked the fastest times during the training session yesterday dropped of the race altogether too early during the 2nd qualifying round!

P/S: Check out the huge butterfly that attended the event!

… continuing from Purin and the Light Arrow… 

•ω•

In the parallel universe of HKO, Purin and gang were standing with Kiki by the roadside of Florapolis when they hear an ominous sound…

Purin: What sound?…OOhhhh……

From the distance, there were little back specks in the sky that seem to be growing bigger by the second and coming in Purin and his friend’s direction. The loud squawking and cheeping is getting louder and more high-pitch as well.

Purin: *looks back at the black specks in the sky* Oh, I see the Dark Lord Cinnamoroll!! Why is he flying with all those mean-looking black birds? :\

Muffin: Maybe he has enchanted them? Look Purin, the naughty bird that likes to steal your hat is flying with them too!

Purin: Is that Mimmy that black bird is carrying?!! (Note: the Mimmy in the parallel universe, not the SanrioTown Mimmy)

SuperForce: Yikes, they’re dropping birdshit bombs at us 0.0

Snappy: This is preposterous! Neeiggghhh!!!! *avoids a plopping bomb*

Kiki: Quick everyone, come hide under my giant umbrella!

Muffin: Thanks alot Kiki! But what do we do now? All that bird noise is making my ears hurt a little :\ *trying to stopper his tiny ears with his little paws*

Link: Me too.

KiKI: Oh look! What have I here!

Purin’s Mama: Hello Kitty earplugs! :D Now kids, that should solve the noise problem and protect your poor little ears *helps Kiki distribute Hello Kitty earplugs to everyone*

Purin: That’s better ^_^ *looks around and realises he can’t hear anyone else talking anymore* Oops! Kiki, Link, Snappy, Muffin, I can’t hear any of you! :\

Kiki, Link and Snappy were gesticulating and shouting at each other at the other end of the umbrella from Purin. Then, Link raised his bow and noched the Light Arrow Kiki has just made to his bow.

Purin: *Gasp* Wait! Link! What are you doing! You can’t shoot Cinnamoroll!!

Link: Purin! Purin! Let GO.. 0-oh!

Everyone stared as the Light Arrow left Link’s bow and plunges towards Cinnamoroll who just landed in front of them.

… to be continued…

Hang in there Saruchan and MozartBach! I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that you get your confirmation email and we’ll see you in the game real soon.

Meanwhile I’m just hanging around on my fence here… admiring the scenery… Help! Someone get me off of this fence…is that a pig or a donkey or a horse behind me? Whatever…. Help? Anyone?

*Note: This is a screenshot from Closed Beta. Founders’ Beta is starting soon! Yay!*
*Note2: Did anyone notice the change in footwear. Am wearing boots now haha. I think they make my virtual feet look big XD*

One day in Hello Kitty Online Closed Beta-land, a little black Kittie that sort of of looked like a black fish ran into Hello Kitty’s Secret House to play. But, just as it ran in though the doorway, it got trapped by an evil space-warp bug :O and couldn’t move at all!

Frightened, the little black Kittie cried for help. Her cries were heard by a pair of pink-ish MidNiteEyes (staying up a little too late? XP) and a little blue sliver of ripplecloud. They floated into Hello Kitty’s house but were not of very much help. They couldn’t rescue poor Kittie but they stayed around and tried to comfort her as best as they could.

Poor Kittie was stuck for a long, long time. Meanwhile the GoodMan Tadakatsu also heard in the wind, Kittie’s cry for help. He wanted to rescue Kittie very much but he couldn’t open the magic door to Hello Kitty’s Secret House! :O

You see, the magic door will open only to magical creatures like MidNiteEyes, rippleclouds, and black Kitties (stuff that witches can throw into cauldrons or keep as pet familiars). It wouldn’t open at the command of good but ordinary man like Tadakatsu, even if he is a great fashion designer!

Finally Tadakatsu went to the Great Magician Green for help. The Great Magician Green transformed Tadakatsu into a purple Teletubby head in order to prepare him to start receiving some awesome magical powers. This power included an enchanted toilet-scrub-looking key to open stubborn doors and rescue Kittie damsels in distress! :D

And that was how Good Man Tadakatsu, with the help of his friend Great Magician Green, saved the day for Kittie and her friends :D

Hi everyone,

Some of us have gotten the confirmation email for Founder’s Beta already, but if you have not, don’t give up! After all, the HKO team has said that they are increasing the quota. So be patient alright?

Meanwhile, here’s a wee little preview of the makeup [shoutout to Fairlady-Z: Did you read me? I said Makeup! :D] in Hello Kitty Online Closed Beta. Hopefully there will be more variety in Founder’s Beta ^_^

It was still the last day of HKO Closed Beta (heehee, it’s a long day so I’ve broken it into parts.), GM-Tadakatsu who was back for lunch was continuing to give out clothes. As this was just a preview of the clothes, some of us ended up with the same clothes and looked like twins! XD Yup, just like the fishy-looking red umbrella twins Toki and Chichi you see here ;)

Then GM-Tadakatsu gave ripplecloud and the other CB testers yet another surprise and that was makeup! There were two to choose from. And since there was no way for us to see what they look like, ripplecloud somehow ended up demo-ing the two blushes for the rest on the street. *ahem, puts on best street hawker attitude*

Here you are, Blush 1 -

Blush 1

Fancy eye-brightening, radiance-enhancing rosy cheeks? Then blush 1 is for you!

Or, get in touch with you inner, tribal self! Wear twirls and swirls with the same pride as the shamans and brave hunters that populate your ancestral family tree thousands of years back with Blush 2!

Blush 2

After the demo, it was easy for everyone to decide which blush they wanted. For me, I was stuck with Blush 2 for the rest of the day because the blushes are like permanent tattoos!!

background image edited from wallpaper from http://www.anthonette.com

OK, I didn’t mind Blush 2 that much :P

Oh there were moles too! But I don’t really fancy moles so I didn’t try that, erm, so no screenies hee hee, sorry!

//Update: Look what I found!! A screenie of Sailoria with a mole :P, courtesy of Little Wonder
