[NPC] Cindy Donovinh
Thanks for tuning in, Gaians! It's time again for the amazing Community Update segment! Here with you again is your intrepid reporter, Cindy Donovinh. That's me, folks, and I hope you're ready to dive right in! It's a doozy of an update and I'm excited to have two amazing guests in my studio and one slightly annoying one! Let's kick off our update with a visit to the Avatar Arena to congratulate our recent winners:
First Place in the Original Avatar Arena was no easy feat, but the talented MiniMeow managed to come out on top with the marvelous entry entitled "Hjörþrimul!" Delicate poses with a perfect attention to detail: impressive indeed! Not to be outdone, the fantastic Hell Butterfly Ichigo stole the stage and took First Place in the Cosplay Avatar Arena with the inspiring entry: "~Don't Lose your Way Ryuko~!" Check out that incredible accuracy! Wow!
"Hey! Listen!" is the inspired title of the entry that won Nanzzy-chan the First Place spot in this week's Cosplay Avatar Arena! With a fierce dedication to the source material, this outstanding entry blew the judges away. ScarredRavens, a proud D-Party member, rocked the competition in the Original Avatar Arena and scored a well-deserved First Place victory with the entry: "D-Party: Oh my gosh!" The President would be proud indeed.
Congratulations to all of our astounding winners! If you happen to spot these talented folk around the forums, be sure to give them a quick commendation for their thrilling victory.

Ah, it's been a while since we've seen these elusive celebrities, hasn't it? You may remember that Sam, resident gearhead and shopkeeper of Gaia's one and only auto emporium, Sam's Body & Parts, and her... friend, Liam, recently brought us an amazing Spring Event: Buffer Every Day! The introduced us to the adorable Convert-o-Matic, a machine known for feasting upon all the outdated doodads and knick-knacks floating around Gaia and using their raw material to craft amazing new treasures! I was lucky enough to get in touch with this triad of trusty pals for a quick glimpse into their day to day lives:
- Sam, Convert-o-Matic, Liam! It's great to have most of you here at the studio.
Liam: Cindy! Heyyyy. Are you busy? Do you have any other plans for today? As your cohost, I can definitely take over the rest of this interview for you. You know, take the show off your hands.
Sam: It's cool to be interviewed! Thanks for lettin' us be here, Cindy. Convert-o-Matic has been blabbing about it all week.
Convert-o-Matic: Error! Error! I'm on TV!!
Right, let's get into the nitty gritty. Liam, why did you make the Convert-o-Matic, and what made you and Sam want to share it with all of Gaia?
Liam: I made it for Sam. It's a gift. I mean, not like a gift-gift.. just, you know, a present.
Sam: Yeah, it's awesome! I sure love the little guy! Uh, the robot I mean. Heh.
Convert-o-Matic: I'm on TELEVISION! TV! Hello friends!
Sam: Point is, I thought all of Gaia could use a little sprucing up! This little 'bot is just the gadget for the job.
Convert-o-Matic, you sure seem excited! Is there something you want to tell our viewers?
Convert-o-Matic: I have been learning the history of Gaia's robot nation from the masters at Love Faktori. I am so proud to represent them here today!
Sam: Yeah, we leave Convert-o-Matic over at the Faktori sometimes when he gets a little overwhelming. Caring for a robot is whack, dude. It needs, like, food, and love, and nurturing, and oil. And it never listens to orders!
Liam: Yeah, I wish my teachers had talked to me about all this mechanical stuff back when I was a little engineer. I would have used some kind of protection-- like a self-destruct button.
Convert-o-Matic: Convert-o-Matic is invincible! Bow before Convert-o-Matic!
Liam: They're real impressionable at this age.
Adorable! Any plans to have Convert-o-Matic make a public return in the future?
Sam: Maybe one day when Gaia starts getting cluttered again, Convert-o-Matic can get a few upgrades and help us out. It's a long way off though. Everyone's inventories are still squeaky clean!
Liam: For now, I think Convert-o-Matic just wants to watch lots of TV and convert Sam's spare nuts and bolts into sick new video games about trashing cities as a giant robot, which is good enough for us!
Convert-o-Matic: Gaia 9 Action News is my favorite show, if you don't count all my other favorite shows!
It's been great to have you on the show, everyone! Any last things you would like to share?
Sam: Thanks for helping us clean up Gaia! I finally found all of my tools, and I've been helping President Diedrich tweak a few of his "important government devices." They're mostly just gimmicky gizmos like electric letter openers and cheese sandwich irons, but I think one of 'em will really help with this fight against the Bunvasion!
Convert-o-Matic: Goodbye humans!
Liam: I just want to thank all our viewers and any possible news producers in the audience for being here, and I'd also love to remind them that not only do I have a very impressive resumé, but a winning smile and rock hard abs. I'd also like to mention my love of reading about current events aloud with perfect enunciation. Back to you, Cindy.
A fascinating look at some equally fascinating folks, don't you think? I hope you enjoyed this update from some of Gaia's most beloved characters and Liam.
