Lanturnacht Roots
Posted: October 31, 2009

Jahzara wastes no time this evening... picking right back up in the story when Jack pitches his idea to the settlers.



She began...
"I have called you all here today," Jack began, "to propose a solution to the little... infestation problem we've been having." He stood upon a makeshift wooden platform before the entire settlement, chest puffed out proudly, his left foot resting on a rather large orange pommekin and a small object, covered by a brown cloth, held tightly against his body. "Pommekins."

"Pommekins?" a rather unpleasant Zisscor hissed in disgust. "What are we going to do, feed them pommekin pies until they are too sick to torment us any longer?"

"Not quite." Jack removed the cloth from the object in his arms, revealing a rather peculiar sight: a small pommekin the gunky contents within the shell removed, a wicked smile carved upon its front, as well as a pair of glowering eyes and a triangle nose, and, if one looked hard enough, the waxy remains of a candle inside. "This here," he continued, "is the solution to all of our problems."

The audience erupted all at once with boos and jeers, using rather colorful vocabulary to describe just how convoluted they believed Jack's plan to be before turning to leave.

"Wait, please!" the Jinx pleaded, hopping off of the stage. "I know for a fact this works; I have experienced it myself! Why, just yesterday, I warded off a rather nasty Phantom with a pommekin, and last night, this beauty," he motioned towards the carved pommekin, "kept my cabin safe and Pomme-free! The Phantoms are, for some reason, afraid of pommekins; if we combine that with scary faces and light, two methods that have had some affect against those beasts in the past, we can rid our humble settlement of them once and for all! Just try it, please. What do you have to lose?"

The settlers paused, reconsidering Jack's proposal. If he was lying they would simply endure the same thing they had for so many years now; but if he was right, if by some miracle his plan worked, they would have peace for the first time since they set foot in Darkwood. He was right: what did they have to lose? "Okay, fine, we'll do it," one of the settlers, a Riverside Cheran, replied. "Dear Pandoria, I hope you're right, Jack."


That night, the small Darkwood settlement was illuminated by the light of hundreds of flickering candles, each housed within its own carved pommekin. These 'Jack-o-Lanterns,' as they had been named in honor of their creator, were placed outside of homes, all throughout the streets, and around the border of the settlement. The settlers themselves were huddled in their cabins as per usual, awaiting the usual barrage of Pommes; but it never came. For the first time, the night was silent, and the settlers were able to sleep soundly and safely.

That morning the entire settlement was praising Jack's name. "We've won!" they cheered, dancing and jumping and whooping and singing. "By Pandoria we've done it! We've won! Praise Jack and his lanterns! Callooh! Callay! O frabjous day, we've won!"

Jahzara clears her throat and continues, though many are still lost in the story of those long ago settlers. Though they are far removed from those perilous times, these traditions stand, even today.

She continues, "And now we bring congratulations to this years Pommekin Carving winners! Many thanks and congratulations go to...

We continue...
Posted: October 29, 2009

Diving right into the story as the winds howled through Darkwood Forest, Jahzara wasted no time with introductions tonight. The moon hung heavy and illuminated all, though the fire burned low.



"At first Jack and Jill simply stared at the Mericai, still biting into their Pommes, unable to grasp just why the Misticpet was acting so crazily. And then it hit them like a ten ton train. “Jill, get in the house right now!” Jack shouted, dropping his breakfast and scrambling to his feet. He grabbed her hand, yanked her to her feet and began dragging her towards the safety of their cabin, but it was too late.

‘Thunk.’

The Phantom Tarinooki who had thrown the Clockwork Pomme trembled with laughter as it smashed right into the back of Jill’s head. Tears burst from the young Jinx’s eyes, dropping to her knees and cradling the back of her head. “Owwww, that-that hu-hu-hurt!” she sobbed, a lump already beginning to form where the Pomme had hit.
Jack’s body began to shake: not with fear, but with pure, unadulterated rage. His brow furrowed and his blood boiled; this was his limit. The moment that Pomme left the paw of the Tarinooki and came flying towards an innocent little girl, that villanous Phantom was done for. “Hey, you!” he roared, grabbing the closest projectile he could get his hands on. “Keep your filthy Pommes off of my sister, you brute!” With all of his might Jack flung a fair sized pommekin at his sister’s assailant.

To his surprise, the Phantom immediately stopped laughing and quickly dodged the incoming vegetable, a look of utter terror on its face. For a moment it remained frozen, staring wide-eyed at Jack, before turning to take one look at the pommekin guts splattered all over the ground behind it. Then, before Jack was able to register what had just conspired, the Phantom Tarinooki fled back into the darkness of the forest.

Jack snorted angrily before quickly diverting his attention back to his sister. "Are you alright?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.

"Mmhmm," she sniffled in reply. "The look on that Phantom's face when you threw that pommekin at him made me feel better." A small smile cracked across Jill's face, accompanied by a soft giggle.

Jack chuckled. "Yes, that face was pretty great, wasn't it? That'll teach 'em not to mess with my adorable little sister!" He laughed louder now, pinching Jill's cheeks and scooping her up into his arms. "Now, let's get you inside before I need to throw any more vegetables."

"Mmmn," Jill smiled, burying her face in her brother's soft feathers. "I wonder why the Phantom ran, though -- we've been throwing things at them for years, trying to scare them off, but it never worked before. Maybe they don't like pommekins-- which is weird, because pommekin pie is so good!"

At that moment a lightbulb lit up in Jack's head; his jaw dropped and he very nearly dropped the young Jinx he was holding. "Pommekins. That's it," he mumbled. "That's how we win. That's how we win! Jill, you're a genius!"



Jahzara stayed silent for some time, and those gathered about the dying fire contemplated where the story had ended this evening. How would the settlers win this war?

Jahzara speaks...
Posted: October 20, 2009


Jahazara peered into her crystal ball before gazing in turn at the assembled mass of Misticans. The story continues....

"However, for one Jinx, anger was beginning to replace the nearly palpable fear that hung in the air like a thick fog. As he held his younger sister’s shaking body in his arms, he asked himself, over and over, why this was happening; what had they done to deserve such cruel treatment? Had they not been respectful towards the forest? Had they not taken only what they needed and left a majority of Darkwood and its inhabitants untouched? These unprovoked attacks were hurting everybody on the settlement and, if someone didn’t do something, they would all starve this winter.

His anger grew with each Pomme that splattered against the wooden walls of his humble cabin; his fists clenched, his teeth grit together, and a scream began forming in his chest. But what could he do? He held his sister closer as the jeers boomed louder and the thuds of Pommes intensified. “Cursed monsters,” he snarled, “I will rid this peaceful town of you, I swear it.”

The chirping of Biruda gently shook the Jinx from his slumber. He slowly opened his eyes, yawning widely and nudging his sister awake. “Come on, Jill, time to wake up, love,” he cooed.

“Hnggg, Jack, is it morning already?” she moaned, squirming in her older brother’s lap and rubbing her eyes.
“Yes,” Jack chuckled softly, grabbing her gently under her arms and lifting her up as he stood, “and I think it’s time we went outside and got ourselves some breakfast.”

“Kay.” Jill wobbled forward in the general direction of the door, still extremely groggy, the only thing keeping her from collapsing to the floor and falling right back asleep being her brother’s support.

Both siblings felt much more awake after they had plopped down on the ground, two Pommes in hand and one in mouth. They were enjoying their breakfast until a scream tore through the air, followed shortly by a Mericai fleeing from a barrage of Pommes. “They’ve conquered the light, they’ve conquered the light!” he screamed frantically. “Nobody is safe anymore – run for your lives!”

At this, Jahzara heaves a sigh, looking to the sky she closes her eyes in contentment at the bright sunshine that took the chill of the autumn air.

"We will continue soon, I need a rest... Go on, isn't there work to be done? We can't sit around enjoying stories all day now, can we? The harvest is almost ready!"

Quest Issues...
Posted: October 17, 2009

That Strange traveler! He is getting downright greedy!

All he is asking for is items from Jasper's shop. I guess he's too lazy to go trick or treating on his own and gather his own sweets for trade in. We'll get him straightened out and back on track. Never fear Mistica!




There will be a news update when the situation is fixed.

Tale of Lanturnacht...
Posted: October 11, 2009

"Perhaps you can better tolerate the continuing of this story while the sun still reigns in the sky?" Jahzara peers around at the expectant faces, still yearning to hear more of how the celebration of Lanturnacht came to be.

When all eyes were upon her, she began her tale once more....



“We c-can’t keep going on like this,” a young Lirionox hissed through chattering teeth, tightening her hold around her husband’s arm and resting her head at the crook of his neck.

“Indeed,” agreed the Ahbruis, reaching his free paw around to pat his wife’s head, “this torture has been going on for five years now. It’s the Harvest Season, for Pandoria’s sake; we should be out gathering Pommes, not fleeing to our pathetic excuse for a fire the second the Sun begins to dip behind the horizon.”

“Every year it gets worse and worse!” growled an old Belragoth, rapping his wooden cane against the cold, hard soil. “We barely managed to scrape by last year, and I don’t think we’ll have enough Pommes to make it through this winter!”

The Ahbruis opened up his mouth to speak once more, but was abruptly cut off as an Arctic Pomme slammed into the back of his head with a loud ‘thwack!’ Out of nowhere, more Pommes of all different shapes and sizes began raining down upon the terrified settlers, their shrieks and screams drowned out by howls of laughter booming from the shadows of the forest.

“Run, you pathetic little creatures, run!” jeered a high-pitched voice, as a Mandoran Pomme flying from the darkness knocked the old Belragoth out cold. A moment later, the head of a Phantom Anya appeared amongst the trees, its tongue stuck out and dismembered paws forming an ‘L’ on its forehead.

Doors slammed and locks clicked shut all throughout Darkwood Hollow, the settlers having lost faith in the idea of ‘safety in numbers’ and abandoned
the light that had once been their only ray of hope in the terrifyingly black forest. Amidst the barrage of Pommes that now cascaded their homes they clung to each other,
the warmth of each other’s bodies the only small comfort they had.




Jahzara stopped her tale, watching the reactions of those gathered near, "We will continue again soon... Think on the plight of those long ago settlers. How will they combat those dark spirits that torment them so unmercifully?"

~Misticpets Team



The challenge stands Mistica. When we meet our goal, we will schedule a 24 hour trick or treat bonanza for a full 24 hours (starting either Friday or Saturday evening for maximum affect. )

Saturday Announcement!
Posted: October 10, 2009

Good afternoon Mistica!

we hope everyone is enjoying the Lanturnacht festivities! Perhaps we can get Jahzara the Gypsy back to continue her tale and explain more of how this holiday came to be in Mistica!

But in the meantime we have a few important announcements!

First off, we'd like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest moderator that is joining our team.

Let's give ODIN, a nice big welcome!

She did wonderfully well in her training period, and we are excited to see her join the team. :)




And now we have a challenge to issue!

When we reach and keep 120+ users online for 20 mins,

EVERYONE will be able to trick or treat every 30 mins for a 24 hour period.

Think you can do this? Want those extra Lanturnacht points to get goodies? You definitely will once Jasper gets his next shipment in...

Trick or Treat?
Posted: October 9, 2009

A new addition can be seen on everyone's profile page!



Looking a little plain? Head on over to your Preferences and take a look at all your choices! Pick your favorite one and enjoy!





And you'll notice a ratio that you can adjust to give out just the right amount of tricks to treats!

Every 60 mins, you may trick or treat on a profile. However, there may be times of high traffic that the staff will announce a Trick or Treat Bonanza and it will be shortened to every 30 mins!

However if you are a Champion of MIstica, you get to trick or treat ever 30 mins regardless! You also have a few special doorknockers to choose from:


And many more!

There are over 55 candies currently in the Treat pool. Can you catch them all? It may be a good idea, considering that they are ALL considered Exotic foods now!




However, there's also another use for them! Head on over to the Lanturnacht Loot shop and visit Jasper to get points to spend in his shop!



There are many seasonal misticpal favorites from last year, and there will be more added as the season progresses!



Enjoy the fun Mistica!

Lanturnacht!
Posted: October 8, 2009

Come, come! Gather ‘round the fire now, huddle up close. Take the hand of the person next to you and hold on tightly as you watch the fire dance, its light playing across your cheeks and its smoke waltzing up into the midnight sky. Stare deeply into the inferno, my friends, as it has a story to tell: a story of good and evil, of festivals and disaster, of allies and enemies:

the story of Lanturnacht.

Long, long ago, nestled deep within the bosom of Darkwood, a group of settlers converged around a fire, just like we are now. However, unlike you and me, they faced a terror far worse than anything produced by cheesy horror movies and rubber masks. As the sun retreated behind the trees, its fading rays were choked out by shadows; the suffocating darkness compelled the settlers to squeeze as closely to the fire as they could get without setting their ragged clothing ablaze.

It was not necessarily the piercing blackness that frightened them, but rather what lurked within it; their tormentors were the lords of the night, so the group was only able to find safety in the light. However, the increasingly loud howls and moans reverberating from the forest were enough to make them worry that their meager fire may not be enough to keep their curse at bay.



"Am I frightening you, dear? Well, perhaps we'll just have to save some more for tomorrow," she cackles and turns to study her crystal ball.

I guess that's all she's going to tell us tonight.

Posted: October 7, 2009

Today we celebrate, once again, the adorable Cherai that we all know and love!

A new default cheran themed avatar is available for use!


And on your daily visit to the Pomme Tree, you could find a new tasty treat!


And while browsing the site and wandering Mistica today, the Delight Pixie just may drop a tasty treat filled PINATA at your feet!



Keep alert Misticans! There is also a fun fact filled thread in Mistic Chat to enjoy!

Sleepy?

This inarbu seems to have slept through all those celebrations!



Want to show your adoration for this sleepy old bear? First you need to find this adorable avatar! This little avatar must have curled up for a nap after looking at some amazing pictures...

Last chance...
Posted: October 6, 2009

For the Daydream and Nightmare Boxes for some time.

As the seasons change and the wheel of the year turns inexorably towards the chapter, the time for the Daydream and Nightmare Pandoria Boxes is coming to a close.


But that means some other boxes will get some face time in the shop, so watch out!

Tormic is having some trouble keeping the daydream and nightmare pals in stock, look for these critters to make their exit soon as well!

Congratulations!
Posted: October 4, 2009

A congratulations goes out today to one of our newer members who received a Phantom Box from the Delight Pixie!

CandyChan!

We hope that Candychan is enjoying her time here at Mistic, it's been great watching the community embrace the NuP 'refugees' and watch as they make a new home here with us in Mistica!

Feeling sad that the delight pixie passed you over? There is still one more chance for a lucky Mistican to receive an amazing credit shop item. It's a surprise... Keep playing for your chance to win!

High Scores!
Posted: October 2, 2009

Head on over to the Hall of Fame and check out new High Score setup!


You'll see a few things a little different. First off is the differentiation between Members and Staff.

Member scores will show the top 15 scores; while only the top staff is presented on the staff page.

More work is incoming, and Paul has been working extremely hard behind the scenes on a variety of issues to help make the site run smoother and create easier avenues to alter and change things. :)

Fresh Friday!
Posted: October 2, 2009

That's right Mistica, starting out the new month with some fresh new contests!


First off, Champion users are now able to submit their flash games scores 2 extra times a day!


Secondly, the Flash game high scores have had a bit of a revamp! Now, it will actually record the top SCORES each month, and keep track of our all time high scores.


And head on over to check out the Distorted Pix that was updated today! Look for various updates to these weekly contests spread throughout the weeks ahead. :)

Finally, please take a moment to check out our monthly Art, Writing and Poetry Contests! They have been updated and the theme centers around the Harvest and being thankful for Mistica's gifts!


EDIT!
Last, but certainly not least, keep an eye out for the Delight Pixie this weekend. She may be out of Inarbu Pinatas, but she's carrying something with a bit more weight.

The main high score page is currently being worked on. Using the link above will take you to the Flash games High Scores. Get your scores in and get your name up there!

A note to you all...
Posted: October 1, 2009

Due to some real life, personal reasons, I have made the difficult decision to sell my half of the site to Zarabeythe. I wish there was a way for me to stay involved but I cannot. I will miss working with staff and members in the admin capacity, but I will still be around to chat with you all onsite as a member. Zarabeythe has the heart and soul of this site within her and I know you will all join me in supporting her as the sole owner of this most awesome place we call home. Hugs to you all.

~Shari
