The Premium contest End of the Year Soiree was a structured special event for those who completed 11 of 12 Premium contests for the year 2022.

A Tour of the Event Location

[Firefly Villa, Corridor]
Occupying the entire of the northern wall is an enormous semi-circular window that stretches from floor to ceiling at the highest point of its arc.  Teak railings provide a durable safety measure that ensures guests will not lean against the polished glass as they gaze out its panes to the beach below.  Soothing sunlight trickles in through the window and brightly illuminates a paneled ebonwood door and a polished mahogany door in the opposite wall.  You also see a gold silk drape adorned with a complicated aquamarine pattern.

Tokens and Koa Chest

Via in-game mail everyone received a chest of goodies. In the chest were 3 tokens. These were currency used to receive merchant services (and thus everyone received 3 merchant services if they wished it). 

a smooth dark koa chest (weighs 5, holds 100)

look chest
The koa has been sanded smooth and lacquered, resulting in a rich, lustrous shine.  Featuring ecru silk lining, the chest boasts several dividers to sort and organize its contents.  A polished silver coconut-shaped clasp inset with a blue green lagoon opal secures the treasures within.

look in chest
In the dark koa chest you see a soft plush baby seal (EzScripted toy), a bright green voucher booklet (5 entries for Duskruin), a bright green yo-yo (T3 Trick Yo-yo), a bright silver token, a bright silver token and a bright silver token.

look seal
You see nothing unusual.

read token
In the Common language, it reads:
5123.  Please note that this token will not be valid in any other year.

Seal verbs:

Verb First Third
Clean Is that a smudge on your plush baby seal's fur? This won't do. Tsking under your breath, you proceed to finger brush your seal's soft white fur until you're happy with the result. Tsking under his breath, Arianiss proceeds to use his fingers to brush every inch of his plush baby seal. He finishes his grooming session with a satisfied sigh.
Hug Overcome by your plush baby seal's cuteness, you bury your nose into the lush fur of its head and give it a tight hug. Arianiss buries his nose into the fur of his plush baby seal as he gives it a tight hug.
Kiss Your heart fills with delight as you gaze adoringly into the liquid black eyes of your plush baby seal. Why is it so cute? Your resulting joy culminates in a loud smooch that you place on the top of its sweet little head. Arianiss and his plush baby seal appear to be having a moment. He gives the plush animal a loud smooch on its head before you have the chance to look away.
Pinch You pinch the long black whiskers of your plush baby seal and give a little tug, pulling them straight. The maneuver has no lasting effect, however, since the whiskers droop back down again the instant you let go. Arianiss pinches the drooping black whiskers of his plush baby seal and pulls them taut for a brief moment.
Poke Your plush baby seal's nose is absolutely adorable. So black and shiny and cute! You can't contain your enthusiasm as you lightly tap it with your index finger while quietly whispering, "Boop!" Arianiss grins broadly at his plush baby seal as he whispers something softly before lightly tapping its shiny black nose.
Pull You locate the small ring on the back of your plush baby seal's back and give it a gentle pull. Your plush baby seal emits a cute little bellow reminiscent of a rusty horn. Arianiss pulls a small ring on the back of his plush baby seal and it emits a cute little rusty sounding bellow.
Raise You raise your plush baby seal into the air in an imitation of swimming. You make it dive, dip, and leap, before having it "swim" back into your waiting arms. Arianiss wildly waves his plush baby seal around. Maybe he saw a bee?
Rub The fur of your plush baby seal feels heavenly and you realize that you've been mindlessly petting it for a while now. You take a quick glance around to see if anyone noticed. Arianiss seems lost to happy reverie as he gently strokes his plush baby seal's fur.
Tilt You hold your plush baby seal at arm's length before tilting it toward you and pulling it all the way in for a good cuddle. It fits perfectly in the crook of your arm. Arianiss holds his plush baby seal away from him, tilting it this way and that before pulling it in close enough to cuddle.
Tickle You laugh with delight as you tickle your plush baby seal's squishy belly. Arianiss's face splits into a momentary grin as he tickles his plush baby seal.
