Movin' on to day three

I'm really starting to get the hang of this site. There's a lot less "What the heck does this button do?" and "Where am I supposed to get this?" and more direct working towards immediate goals. My current goals for Sno are to take up a job as a model and join the Olympics as a cyclist. The model job really jives with the whole Sno Abyss personality, since the character was originally a succubus in the novel I wrote. Right now she needs one more point in both sports and language to qualify, so on day four Sno will have her first jobby job!

As for the Olympics... wow. Well, I think the requirements for even the basic stuff will take a few weeks. It's something to work towards at least!

One of the things I'm still having trouble with is knowing what random items are for. The descriptions can be pretty vague and I'm just left thinking "Should I keep this for something important...?" Like right now I have two HP magnets in my inventory. What is an HP magnet? The description doesn't really say. Google doesn't really say. No friggin clue. Google has been thoroughly unhelpful in looking up a lot of specific items from this site. There's a MaraPets wiki but it's super temperamental and doesn't seem to want to give you any useful results for item searches. My goal for tomorrow is to find out what an HP magnet is, I guess.

An interesting thing I noticed - giving your pet an instrument puts it in your pet's collection at a grade level. So I give Sno a cello and instead of just a list of instruments in her collection, it says "Cello grade 1". I'm assuming that means I can give her five hundred cellos and she'll grade up so far she'll transform into Yo-Yo Ma or something.

Anyway. After getting a ton of chocolate items from quests and missions, it seems reasonable that the theme for my gallery should just be "chocolate stuff". So it is. Just random chocolate stuff. I might go for a different theme later, but right now it feels like it's easiest to collect chocolate at these lower levels so I'm going to take advantage of that and make a nice gallery out of it.

Most of my day in the Maralands was spent trying out new games and saying "Wow, this reminds me of (game this game was based off of)!" My highlights are the Subway Surfer clone with the hamster eating cookies, and the Bubble Pop clone that gives you gumballs. I think I've explored a good 20 or so games at this point? My favorite is still the first one I played - Triple Pyramid Solitaire. I'll always gravitate towards those awesome pyramids of cards on any gaming site! I find it very relaxing, I guess.

The biggest news of the day happened at the end of the day. The HUGE NEWS. At least, huge for me... I made a second pet! She's a blue cat named Nifti. She was kinda thrust on me because the Get Started challenge required me to make a pet trade, only to tell me that I'm not allowed to make a pet trade with my only pet, so... yeah. Apparently you must have a second pet to level up to ten. It's all right though, when I first made a pet I was torn between the foxwolf thing and the fluffy kitty thing, so might as well have both. She's an extroverted sweetie pie with a pet jellyfish named Lil Jel.

Tomorrow I explore the Maralands with two pets by my side and hopefully figure out what HP magnets are for!
