...birds creep over tin roofs, like criminals with tap shoes...
And there is some users that decide to quest a certain item on gaia.
For example i can decide to quest a special mood bubble, and then ill collect money towards getting that item.
I might advertise my quest in my signature or even a thread, where i can talk to my visitors and even get a donation if im lucky.
Other than that you might have to wait for gaia to sponsor an item, or go play zomg where you get quests from the NPCs 3nodding
...stain the glass with windows, extortionate and cold stare...
