DP stands for old Donation Present item!
</p>Alright my wraith man I'm gonna need a minute or two to figure out whaaaat the hell you're saying there.
thank you :D
--
so i went to subetalodge and looked at all donation present items... i still have no idea about it ._.; maybe i should try to read item descriptions
found only because it mentions starry night but idk

</p>Hm..
SPOILER (click to toggle)
My two guesses would be either
because it reflects light or
Not bad, not bad. It seems like you understand how and why things work this way. Rationality is important.
Oh oh oh, but we're not done yet!
I have two more riddles to ask before I could consider surrendering. What, did you hope it would get easier? Well, here we go.
Is this item as light as a clear day, or as dark as a starry night? Actually, it can be both, but never at the same time.
What is it.
I have never told they would be easier, right? :) (also, while the guess of lightbulb is a really nice guess, the answer is a really specific subetan item. :) another hint, it's an old DP item)
Uhm, immediately thought of the ... or maybe ?

Woah... uh... hmmmm... must think about this
Thank you for the hint, wraith, but I'm blocked from my research library for the next eight hours. :c If it's not guessed by then I'll try again. :3
OH NO ANOTHER MESSAGE.
</p>Okay, my questions:
I keep thinking of the Gemini plushie but that just doesn't make sense with them not being dark and light never at the same time. Gaaaah
Sooo yeah. I wasn't smart enough to phrase the questions in order to get a useful answer, so I guess I got the answers I deserved. I hope someone else is cleverer than I am! n__n
</p>Translation:
I guess we have found out that no, there's no way to un-wraith them (at least not with a big huge fight on our hands), and that if we want to trap them effectively we're going to have to find more than one containment unit, probably one that's stronger than glass. Maybe even one for each wraith, although maybe two or three together might be okay because they could entertain themselves.
Edit: Ruffie Raffle result number two:
This is frustrating. I keep going over the list of donation present, but there's not a lot that have some sort of light/dark binary.
Dumb Guesses
[item=Hydrus Clamshell (Pearl Included)] - the inside of a clamshell...?
- includes both sun and starry night stuff, but the two aren't separate...
- suns are stars and they are still part of a starry night, but they're essentially both at the same time.
- because... life...
</p>
</p>Awww. Hi!
I know it's not question time, but if there's anything I can do to help...
</p>May be it's

Clouds can be light or dark...
Or perhaps [item=glacier's kiss]
Ohh I forgot to post my Ruffie pick of the day! D:
Since we moved on to the next riddle, I suppose I can tell people what was the solution? xP I MEAN PEOPLE GET CURIOUS AND ALL
The answer to the sequence riddle
...following the monthly order they were released in the 2009 monthly collections/donation presents c:
Some theories I tested before finding it out were word/letter count logic, species popularity, species release date (as someone else mentioned), top pet rankings, pet spotlight sequences, first pets released in recent colors like storm and sweetheart, colors that only have a handful of pets available on, 5th anniversary trophies (only a few pets got those and they have a Velosotor), pet tiles (each tile has a letter, the letters in that sequence could spell a word) and then I finally noticed the gem-incrusted plushies :K
Now to the new gifts...
</p>is that a smug smiley that I'm seeing
Yeah random guessing is too much like... a shot in the dark xP I'm looking at the DP list, but so far my guess is going to the
Pearls are magnificent and lustrous curiosities, born of the sea. They look as if they could be solid, glistening goddess tears, or moonlit dewdrops. As a birthstone, the pearl represents truth and beauty, which is perhaps believable given how beautiful the seductive pearl can be.
"they look as if they could be glistening tears or moonlit dewdrops", so it shouldn't ever be both unless they meant mathematical or xD
</p>Hmm I shall get a coffee and think about the questions I want to make n_n Off the bat I wonder if there's a way to only reverse fate for those wraiths that would rather leave the wraith life (that other one seemed pretty unhappy), that would both release a few souls and free space in the bottle for the others :P hahaha
Will have to take my time on this one i think.
...lol I'm admittedly lazy to check the MCs from 2010-13, under the assumption they're monthly collections not donation presents XD
that and my wishlist already grew tons alkjsdkds
BUT I found out that Muffin Man has an archnemesis and his own lady in distress! xD
we need more lore items showing up again n_n

I checked all the DP's (and not collections) and I have a few guesses... I hope we're allowed to have multiple guesses!

Now, on to the questions. Hopefully I may ask questions that are so direct!
(Also that Spyte! Thank you very much!)
omg i'm shit at riddles, will try to work on this tonight
I don't have time to decipher this right now (rl stuff getting in the way), but I will try to figure out what it says tonight. >.>;;
[edit]
idk if I still need to post this?

I'm thinking maybe it's . It has a dark form

Umm, going to take me awhile to figure out what that says.

Uh anon, there's no way I can read that. :c Sorry!

Wow, hard to read. I'll have to think up my questions.
For anyone who may be on their phones or just having a hard time to read for any reason:
Nope, we're just taking guesses so far! I hope that, if anyone spots the right item, the anon will tell us what was it! It's hard to be 100% sure of anything on this one :x
Thank you for telling me. c: This one is hard because there are so many items that it could be. I hope we are told which one it was. I'm wondering if the gift that came with it has anything to do with the item? Like surviving or a food item or an outdoor item.
