On top of the odd, slanted roof of the Hatter’s house, a wide smile seemed to appear out of nowhere, just glittering haruba’s fangs hanging in midair. Around them, a furry purple cat’s face materialized, followed by the rest of Cheshire’s body, ending in a twitching tail.
 
He padded to the edge of the roof and stuck his head over the edge, looking down and through a tall window into the curious house that was his perch. A head of wild orange hair greeted him and the Hatter turned, jumped at the sight of the feline, quickly recovering to open the window. Cheshire continued to hang there.

“Yes! I have these for you!” The Hatter exclaimed, dashing off to return a moment later with a handful of cookies and colorful potions. They rattled in his arms as he held them out to the upside-down cat, who reached down a paw. He touched the mass of items and in an instant they had all disappeared.
 

“I’m sure they’ll have fun with this,” Cheshire purred, his grin still fixed on his face. A moment later, he too had vanished, leaving, only for a moment, his toothy grin hanging in the air.

The Hatter shut his window and, whistling merrily, went to the drawers underneath his bed, where he kept his teacups. It was time to set up!

---

It’s Mistica’s 1/5 Anniversary, and the Hatter is here to help us celebrate! Watch out for Cheshire; he’s prowling Mistica, waiting with his cookies and potions to drop them on your head. With them, you can play his special game, designed for our anniversary!

Perhaps you'll win some of these goodies, and MORE!

The morning's crisp winter air definitely had a bite to it as Misticans all over greeting the new day. Frost covered the normally dewey grass, making the world look quite enchanting.

Those up early enough were treated to a glimpse of the newest Frost pet, a Gurahdi!
 
Which are available for creation in limited quantities and you may be lucky enough to find a poppet at Zulimes!

Frost Boxes have made their debut a few days early in the credit shop, following their Black Friday sale!

We'd also like to take this opportunity to highlight a new Guide over at the Helpsite! We'll be doing features each week to help everyone utilize the valuable resources we offer!

From all of us here in Mistica, I want to extend a sincere Thank You for being a part of this site and community. We have been through a lot together, but the community is the driving force that keeps us all working so hard to improve and bring new content and move the site forward. 

As we pause and give thanks today, for the blessings in our life, you are one of mine. Each and every one of you has affected me in some way, small or large and I thank you for it.

This year, MisticPets is once again participating in the Angel Tree program through the Salvation Army. The Giving has already begun as we delivered 10 coats to the News10 Coats for Kids Project.  If there is interest, I will see about reviving the Angel Tree MisticPets group, but know that everyone is a part of the giving by being a part of Mistica.

My last Thank You is for my incredible staff, without whom this site would not be here.  They bring their talent to the site with so much heart and joy that it it an amazing thing to be a part of. Thank you all.

Ruthie- You are family of my heart, and I am so thankful for having you in my life. Your support and love mean so much to me, and I wanted to say Thank You. It doesn't seem like enough, but I know that many Misticans join me in saying it. *hugs*

In closing:

Thank You.

The verdant town of Rordon had been turned a bleak grey as the weather grew colder. Great clouds of mist rolled in off of the sea, shrouding the little houses and shops and people so they could barely see their hands before their faces. Most of the villagers were smart enough to stay inside until the sun rose and burned the mist away, but one had seemingly defied logic and was out and about anyway.

If one looked outside, they would only see a bright purple blur floating through the mist towards the edge of the village and the Woods of Ages. Between here and there Rordon’s flat land became scattered with tall trees, a mixture of autumn gold and evergreens.

The Hatter – that was his name, though there might have been more to it; he couldn’t recall – paid no mind to the cold and wet all around him. His purple jacket clung to his thin frame and his orange hair lay flat on his head, but he was smiling and looking around, as though for something specific.

Then he snapped his fingers in realization, laughed and kept on towards a thick copse of trees. Nestled between the trunks and foliage was a small cottage, standing out against the grey and green with a roof of fiery red. It had odd angles; nothing seemed to meet together quite right, causing the eye to slip and slide along its construction. Some visitors said just looking gave them headaches.

For a moment the Hatter thought he saw something on the roof but ignored it and stepped inside. After shutting the door, he took another purple coat from a rack of many in the entrance and shrugged into it, tossing the wet one aside. He had to look his best!

---

A few hours later, the mist began giving way to golden beams of autumn sunlight. Doors creaked and branches crunched underfoot as villagers made their way outside. A few had business out of town and passed near the border to the Woods of Ages, where they suddenly spotted a garish little house within the trees. A tilted signpost outside simply read “COME INSIDE.”

Rainbow Squares

Most blinked, shook their heads and ignored the house and the sign. If you’re curious enough to enter, however, you might meet the Hatter…and get to play his new game, should you be fond of colors and puzzles. 

(Click the Hatter or the rainbow squares image above to play his game. There will also be an icon in the Game Garden shortly.)

Jasper pulled aside the flap of his large tent, grinning as the moon, just beginning to rise in a darkening sky, greeted him. His head felt clearer than it had in days, his body refreshed – it was time to take the circus back and let the festivities really begin!

But instead of being greeted by a wildly excited crowd of circus-goers, Jasper found himself blinking in confusion at emptiness and silence. Ivy walked by, making Jasper wonder why she wasn’t manning the Scary-Go-Round, and smiled at him.

“Good to see you well,” she said, and walked past to her own tent, obviously in no hurry.

Jasper scratched his head, making Gregory twitch. What was going on? Then he saw a flamboyantly dressed aetra headed towards him, and it took the jinx a minute to realize that it was Archie!

“You dressed the part at least,” Jasper said with a crooked sort of smile.

Archie held back a sigh. He’d be foolish to expect Jasper to ever show so much as a shred of humility. “I’m glad you’re up, Jasper,” he said, “You’ll be glad to hear that—“

But Jasper cut him off. “It doesn’t matter! I don’t have time, Archie; Lanturnacht isn’t far and I’ve been planning!”

It was almost painful for Archie to watch his brother’s enthusiasm. “Jasper, you don’t understand. Lanturnacht is almost a week gone. Your fever must have really scrambled your brain…”

Jasper stopped, as though hit in the face. “Really?”

Archie nodded. “I’m sorry, Jasper.”

“And the circus?” Jasper asked with a sort of grimace. Part of him didn’t want to know what sort of mess Archie had made of the holiday while he’d been sick.

“A success!” Archie declared, suddenly smiling broadly, “It was amazing! I just took some cues from you and the people loved it!”

The jinx felt as though he’d been hit in the gut. He was silent for several long moments, and then he managed a weak sort of smile, patted Archie on the shoulder, turned and walked away. Archie was left staring at his brother’s back.

---

Jasper retreated to his tent and slumped over his table. Well…Lanturnacht had been a success all because of Archie, and it didn’t seem like anyone had missed him at all! He’d saved the circus from destruction, but this year, Archie had taken the spotlight.

“It was good Archie helped. You can do it all again next year,” Gregory broke Jasper’s sullen silence.

Jasper huffed. “Next year! And what’s the point, if I’m so replaceable?”

“Not replaceable. Archie learned from you!”

“Exactly! He replaced me and it didn’t matter!”

Gregory growled. “Next year—“

“Don’t be so patronizing!”

“If you won’t let Gregory speak, maybe Gregory will leave!” The hat snarled, and Jasper actually heard his sharp teeth snap.

“Very well! I’m capable of fixing this on my own!” The jinx shouted back, and a moment later his head felt cold.

Goopy, glowing green tentacles slithered out from underneath Gregory’s bright orange brim, propping the hat up like arms. He leapt to the floor and with one last, scathing look at Jasper, scuttled out of the tent and into the chilly autumn night.

Jasper hadn’t expected Gregory to actually leave. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, considering calling the hat back, but his already wounded pride wouldn’t let him. He slammed his fist into the table, cursing.

He had work to do, once the carnival was closed.


~Mistic Team 

Archie felt past the point of nervousness. Lanturnacht had come and gone, and judging by how the grounds of the circus were coated in candy wrappers, footprints and fried rats, it had been a fantastic success. The aetra strolled about, alone except for a few carnies doing a final clean up now that the crowds were mostly gone.

Albrecht, meanwhile, stood amongst the cold and damp of Banshee Swamp, his golden eyes shining like lamps through the fog. His strongbox wasn’t as heavy as he’d expected it to be…

And indeed, much later, when both of the would-be kings tallied up their spoils, the results were clear:

ARCHIE: [7817]
ALBRECHT [2828]

Late that night, amongst the remainders of a cheery and frightful Lanturnacht, the crowds gathered one last time within the enormous big top, surrounding Archie. The aetra was grinning more broadly than ever, and flanking him were Elijah, Skreetch, Ivy and Belladonna. As the colorful group waved and bowed, Misticans cheered.

Archie straightened and waved for silence.

“You have all made this Lanturnacht the most amazing yet!” He cried, his words punctuated by more excited whoops from the crowd, “The circus has triumphed over the Chamber, and Jasper, though ill, remains Lanturnacht’s true king!”

Privately though, Archie simply reveled in the pleasure of the Misticans in the stands. It was hard to think about Jasper at the moment.
