APRIL CHARM ON SALE NOW

by Hazed

Anton Gallagher has announced that his new charm is now on sale, with an April theme. It is a cloud which sprinkles rain - producing real April showers.

The technology used to produce the cloud charm is quite remarkable. The charm itself has no real substance: it is just a small patch of mist, a collection of water vapor, and is held in place using tiny forcefields generated by a mechanism in the charm's clasp. The forcefields are manipulated to allow the cloud to move around, expand, drop its load of moisture and then reform. It's quite ingenious.

The cloud charm is on sale from Gallagher's shop on Earth for one slithy tove. To buy it, you must have a keyring. If you want one, just 'BUY CLOUD' and then you can display it to everyone who examines you with 'CLIP CLOUD CHARM' and make the rain fall with 'SQUEEZE CLOUD CHARM'.

The previous charm, the Valentine's day cocoa bean, is no longer officially available, but sticking with her usual procedure, the assistant has kept a small supply to sell illicitly. If you missed buying this charm when it was on display, you can still get it for two slithy toves with 'BUY COCOA BEAN'.
