"Sweet Dreams are Made of This"
Knights, is "I'll sleep when I'm dead" your motto? It shouldn't be. Quality rest is important for those who brave danger on a daily basis. It restores, rejuvenates, and revives exhausted bodies and minds. We at Spiral HQ are concerned about a spike in the number of knights who push themselves to the limit with lack of sleep, and Medical has noted a similar uptick in knights who want to sleep, but can't. We suspect this is at least partly due to the fact that we’re nearing the end of 2020. While that problem can’t be addressed here, sometimes a knight just needs a comfortable break from routine. For interested knights, we are making available the Slumber Prize Box, which contains a variety of items to assist you in your quest for repose: - Sleepy Night Cap - Lucid Night Cap - Dreamer Night Cap - Wooly Onesie - Sweet Dreams (your weapon against nightmares) - Teddy Bear Buckler (shield) - Slumber accessories - Slumber armors and helms If you still can't sleep, feel free to roar through the Clockworks in your jammies or perhaps host a slumber party. It'll at least confuse the monsters. This box will be available through January 6, 2021! |
