Erika at the Village Bakery pulled out a fresh batch of cookies while recently decorated ones dotted her countertop.


"I'm so glad I perfected the recipe just in time for Pandoria's birthday on Monday! I'm sure she is going to love them!"

We are sure that you will love the cookies too, so be sure to stop by and get yours while you can! Be sure to catch and decorate as many eggs as you can this weekend, the eggs will stop on Sunday evening, and the shop will close one week after that!

Rumor has it that Pandoria has a special gift for the members of Mistica who comes on to celebrate her birthday on Monday, be sure to not miss out!

In the meantime, Her Chambers is now stocking this adorable Zodiac Tanoo!

 
Take a look around, and see if you can find this adorable honey avatar!

Definitely doesn't look like it would sting, does it?

Did you know that a TB detection rat can screen 100 sputum samples in 20 minutes, which would take a skilled lab technician about four day's work? Because the rats can screen hundreds of samples in a single day, APOPO will seek for further expansion in the next year to multiply our impact.  We hope we will continue to support Aurelius over the next year and years!

We have seen both Aurelius and Pandoria through their first full year of life! From the time they were born, we've received updates on their training and now they are hard at work to detect TB, and clear landmines. 

In 2012, APOPO recruited and trained an all women manual demining team. These highly motivated women were recruited from Gaza Province as part of APOPO's deliberate effort to positively affect the local communities where it operates through equal opportunity hiring practices and empowering women.

Currently deployed in operations, the ladies are fully integrated with and work alongside the other demining teams. Depending on the operational site, manual teams may sometimes be divided and mixed male and female in accordance with APOPO's standard operating procedure (SOP). To date these dedicated women have produced excellent results and are presently working in Maputo Province to clear pylons along the Maputo Powerline.

We are so thrilled to be even a small part of supporting this organization. Our two hero rats are an amazing way for us to connect our site with the world, and make a positive difference.  Thank you ALL for being a part of this endeavor!

"Ahh, it seems to be that time of year again – the trees are budding, the flowers blooming, and Misticans from every corner of Mistica are enjoying themselves with the spring celebrations. Colorful eggs of all sorts of different colors and designs abound. But have you ever wondered why we celebrate by dying eggs? Let me tell you, darlings, it is much deeper than food coloring and rubber bands. Come, gather ‘round, and let me enlighten you. 

It all began long, long ago, when Mistica was still young and its population small. The Misticpets led very simple lives; most worked on small farms, growing only enough food to support their families. However, the winds of change were brewing not too far beyond the horizon. More and more Misticans were growing tired of the old ways of life and were beginning to leave the fields in favor of more skilled and lucrative careers such as blacksmithing and fashion design
. 
At first these brave souls made up the small minority of the population, as primitive farming technologies and bitter winters kept work plentiful and harvests small. But the winters became warmer, and the Misticans developed better and better technologies. As food became more plentiful and easier to grow, more were able to move into growing towns to become artisans and scholars. Culture was thriving and, with the still fairly small population, the dwindling number of farmers was able to keep food on the tables of Mistica. 

Following a rather plentiful harvest, though, this delicate balance was disrupted. With the increase in food came a population boom the likes of which Mistica had never seen. The farmers struggled to keep up with new demands, but despite their best efforts Misticans everywhere were going hungry. They fell to their knees and prayed to Pandoria, begging for some form of help. Of course, the kind goddess obliged. She bestowed upon her people magical eggs from which hatched creatures dubbed “hatchipals.” They were strong and robust creatures who were excellent for assisting in the fields. With their help the farmers were able to increase food production enough to provide for the entirety of Mistica’s increased population. 

After seeing how useful the hatchipals were to the farmers, Misticans of other trades prayed to Pandoria for their own hatchipals as well. Unable to deny her precious Misticpets, Pandoria answered every prayer. However, as Pandoria created more and more hatchipals to meet the Misticans' demands, her power drained until she became very weak and fell ill. 

The Misticans felt terrible about causing their beloved goddess harm. They nursed her back to health and, to show their thanks for all that she had given them, showered her with decorated eggs on her birthday. This blossomed into a Mistican tradition, where Misticpets gift Pandoria with decorated eggs on her birthday in order to show their thanks for all that she does.

And that, my dear Misticans, is why we decorate eggs every spring. So gather your eggs and dye, and thank Pandoria for all she does for each and every one of us."

To celebrate during our egg hunting and coloring, there will be random rewards this month of MP to members that are caught online at various times. An alert will be posted or it will be in the news when it happens. All you need to do to enter is PLAY! 

~Mistic Team

EGG HUNT!
"Do you all know what is coming? Why, Pandoria's birthday approaches!!" Rosebud exclaimed with glee. "It's that time of the year when we give thanks to our goddess for all that she has done to aid us throughout the history of our fair world. Are you ready to gather and decorate eggs for offerings to our goddess?"

Head on over to Rosebud's Holiday Goodies shop to stock up on your dye pots and rubber bands! You'll need them as you capture eggs onsite and hope to transform them!

    
  
What is this new decorative item?
 
With the dye pots above and these eggs that you can find while playing the site...

   
 
...you can create nifty eggs like these!

    
Or maybe some designs like this!




So gather your dye pots, and other tools and get to making some fancy eggs! Also, Sunny has plain hard boiled eggs stocking in some high quantities, so head on over and get yours today!

Happy coming Ostara, Mistica!

It's that time of the year again Mistica! Welcome to Poisson D'Avril! Capture the paper fish you see floating around the site and enjoy sending them to friends as mementos of this day.

Once upon a time you'd attempt to 'stick' rotting fish on your friends and family on April 1st. Thankfully it has evolved to involve PAPER fish, instead of rotting fish. (thank goodness!) 
   
So keep your eyes peeled for this little paper fish to collect in commemoration of this day!

May are also wondering about the strange pet that we've been tracking for the past couple of weeks. We are glad to introduce the newest species of Mistica!
 
 You can get this pet exclusively in the credit shop, and it's only 1,000,000 MP!

Is there something funny going on in the forums? You guys seem to have misplaced some words or something. Silly Misticans. Can't you keep your thoughts straight today?

Do you dare press the Button?

Feeling lucky? Hey, have the Imps gotten ahold of our layouts? Do you see anything strange going on?

 
Happy April Foolin' from...
~The Mistic Team
