Hi! I'm Crystal, your friendly neighbourhood guide!
Feel like talking to someone or need some help? I'm your gal! I enjoy helping people, talking to people on the TNO forums, going on Neopets, and talking to people in general. If you want to chat, go ahead and contact me!

Welcome to The Neopian Orphanage!
I'm Billopan the JubJub, your host. Yep, that's me at the top -- we'll be seeing a lot of each other. Watch out for
fallen plushies and passing Pixies. This page is updated every day, so check back often!
Something wrong? Update us! And how could I forget to mention our FAQs? Show your
support for TNO by displaying one of our nifty little banners or buttons!

Oh my...is that the Quill...I think it is!!! That's right...We are looking for submissions for the June 2008 edition and need YOUR help. The Quill needs you to send in your stories, poems, articles, artwork, comics and of course any questions you have for our lovely Council members (they're dying to answer them!)
The deadline for submitting to the June edition is May 25th. Yep, that only gives you a short amount of time. Soooo, stop whatever you're doing. That's right, stop it and send in something for us to publish. Our wonderful staff Michal, Manny, Monica and myself are ready to get you published! Be proud of your work and submit today!
He's back and better than ever! Yes, Will the Kougra Reporter is back and ready to interview YOUR pet. The pound is back and he's sure there are pets out there that need to be spotlighted and have a nifty trophy put in their case.
Do you have a pet that Will should interview? If so, PM Snuglow the pet's name, link to his/her page and why Will should come and interview this pet. She will then get the information to him asap! Who knows...Will just might show up on your doorstep.
With the pound reopening, I got distracted from posting this sooner. Sorry guys! If I'm missing anyone (and I'm sure I am), please PM me and I'll get you added.

In the sand of adventure, Billo was baffled by a Lost Desert legend. He was exploring Sutek’s Tomb, but his wish to crack the locks remained sadly unfulfilled by the end of his trip. The heat he describes is the scalding temperature of the Lost Desert, and the unsolved locks are the famous tomb puzzle. 22 answers were received, but only 6 were correct. The randomly picked winner is scififarscape, who will be receiving a Geb Gajillionaire Scratchcard. Congratulations!
For a change of pace, Billo decided to exchange exploring in favor of doing some tourist shopping. His latest postcard has arrived- do you know where he is?
Would you like to help Billopan with his quest? He promises to make it worth your while. In fact, the prizes are valued at over 2,000,000 NPs total! Everyone who successfully completes the quest, will be entered into a random drawing for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

What's this? Oh my, guess what time it is? Time for the winner of the Haiku/Rhyme Contest! *Violet* has won herself a copy of "Petpet Biology" for her outstanding haiku about...petpets. Congrats, and thank you for participating! :3
The contest needs both your votes and your entries. So, stop by and get those creative juices flowing. :3

So as some of you know, Raven and Lari have retired and have closed down their Garden Mall Shop. But as you might imagine, there were plenty of family members hoping for a chance to take over the now empty mall shop and make it their own. I took proposals from all of my pets, and the best proposal came from my beloved Pegasus! After getting her new paint job into a Mutant Korbat she decided that she wanted to help support mutants in TNO! So she created a Mutant Mall Shop!
Be sure to head over to the Mall Shop because you can purchase Discounted TP's and Petpets OR request entirely free items based on your rank!
If you have any ideas on things you'd like to see in the Mutant Mall Shop please feel free to contact me and I'll pass your comments onto Pegasus! We hope that you all will enjoy it, and we especially hope that you'll consider transmogrifying one of your lovely permies (or even a foster) into an amazing mutant of your very own!
Oh and as a preview, you can get some of these lovely items . . .
Just please be sure to read the rules carefully as this isn't your typical mall shop!
Violet Says:
Well, that is just not cool. When all of the world's chocolate stands in the balance then you enter! Well this kind of messed up my plan for ultimate chocolate domination! And inlove_ipromise and Noelle., don't think I don't know you guys had a hand in this! And all of the rest of you, be warned, you might find something flying your way as well. Next time I shall win! All the chocolaty goodness can still be mine! Unless you enter Better than Ela.
The winner of the 'sketch a new Valentine's Day item' round was spotlightstarzafara's Love Letter! Congrats!
My next round was 'sketch a new Dr. Sloth-related item', but because I got no entries I had to cancel the round. The Sketch-It contest is going to take a short break until participations picks back up again.
Emma says:
The Shadow Faerie has finally figured out her lost ingredients and has expressed her thanks to manny724 for helping out! Can you figure out the new Shadow Faerie's Brew?
Sweetie Says:
Well, after some greatly needed renovating and a change to the theme and stock, I have a new mall shop to offer you all!!! I am very excited about the new shop, and I think you all will like it a lot! So, without further ado...
Is your foster or permie in need of a little training? Well then! Why not stop by? We offer dubloons that you can take to Cap'n Threelegs to get your pet whipped into shape! And, the first 10 people who stop by and request will receive a special gift! So what are you waiting for? Stop by!
