"Thank you for flying with us today. We know you have a choice in Space Station-to-Neopia travel, and we appreciate your business. We'll be landing in two hours, so just sit back and enjoy your flight." Vaech clicked the intercom off and turned his attention back to the control panel. He blinked tiredly a few times, the buttons blurring slightly before his eyes. The month of Celebrating was always a hectic time, with plenty of Neopians going on holiday to the Space Station or those living on the Virtupets Space Station visiting their families on Neopia.
* Our latest Caption Contest takes place in Qasala.
* A rather interesting Lupe called Muty_411 has just won this week's Pet Spotlight award.

The standard one is purple
The one released in the news today uses the blue petpet paint brush. Though, the ones released today are larger than the original Cirrus, which is somewhat interesting.

Yes, but it looks exactly like the one in my head.
It is interesting that the painted ones look so much bigger than the original. It differentiates them a bit, and uses the 80x80 pixels better.

By the way, am I the only one who would be terrified to use these?

I would use those on my evil bushy eyebrows. Put a little fear of the dark side into them.
