[h3]From mystic Inx to mischievous Theo - all characters received Marina’s party invitation. As usual with Marina’s parties, it is bound to be a blast! But.. costume party?! What to wear, what to wear?! Here you have Lyndel rummaging in some dusty boxes, there you have Zoey contemplating if the skull sweater she bought last Christmas still fits. Wildbark confides with his conifer friends and Metissa wonders if she can draw something up with her magic. Nothing quite seems to fit, though, and none of their ideas really feel like a winning match… Maybe -you- can help them get ready?[/h3]
