Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 10: Tangled in Time, Part 2

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Good day to you all! I am happily presenting you with the TENTH episode in Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! Woah! TEN EPISODES! I’m pretty stoked about that. Thank you everyone for your support! (Read the previous episode here or start from the beginning here.)

This is when things will start to get InTResTiNG. Disclaimer: Since, at the moment, we don’t know a whole ton of Zomberry lore, I’m gonna make some stuff up. Just enjoy! 🙂

Episode Ten: Tangled in Time, Part Two

The swirling through the light and color was somehow a lot less magical. They passed timeframes, saw glimpses of history, even glimpses of their own past, but it flashed by so fast they could hardly process it. And in— it could have been a moment, a second, several years— they were standing outside the 24 Carrot theater.

At once, Toothpick, who still had terrible memories of this place burned into his mind, jumped back and stumbled several steps backwards before tripping into a gutter at the other side of the street. He sputtered.

Toothpick

Ack! Sorry, I got a little startled!

Birdy helped him up and Pick dusted himself off from all the dry leaves and dirt. 

Clumsy Bird

I wonder if we can talk past us… wait— CAN I PLEASE PRANK THE DIRECTOR AGAIN?

Hawk

No! Come on guys! We have to at least get rid of the blueberry machine!

Birdy smacks her forehead.

Clumsy Bird

Oh! Right! Save the world first, prank later. Gotcha!

Fanfic: The Adventures of Det. Anna Gram 🕵️‍♀️ Case Four: Escape from a Familiar Lair

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Shy Wing/Silver Sword. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans! Before I begin, a quick note: you’ve known me as Silver Sword, but unfortunately, I lost my account, so I’m using another one: Shy Wing. In memory of my old account, I will sign off as “Shy Wing/Silver Sword.” 🦋⚔️ Now let’s dive into the next part of the tale!

(Start from the prologue, or continue from Case Three)

ANNA (whispering): “Shhhh! I don’t want the thief to know I’m here!”

DARK, MYSTERIOUS VOICE: “Too late now! My prisoner has helpfully pointed you out to me. You may have actually come in use for me, Axe!”

TINY AXE: “I…HATE…YOU!”

ANNA: “What do you even want her for?!”

Talking shop about Pop

Hey Poptropicans! It’s been quite the quiet month for Poptropica — some eagle-eyed watchers may even have noticed that the silence of the Pop Creators’ Blog has now passed the half-year mark. Yikes.

But hey, the fandom is still kicking! We’ve been enjoying this fan art by Magic Kid capturing the crowd at our Poppies party last month:

I am having WAY too much fun writing this, and I’m starting to feel like a villain with all my dark plans… so… yeah.

I got WAY more votes than I thought I’d get! Thank you! Last episode ended in a cliffhanger, and I suppose you wanna find out what happens next. So I’ll let you have at it! Enjoy!

Episode Nine: Tangled in Time, Part One

The swirling of light and color then gives them the feeling of going backwards very fast. The light breaks up and soon they are on a grass field by a nice tree. The air is not dusty, like the place they had left; in fact, it is clean and crisp with only a handful of fluffy clouds in the blue, bright sky. 

Clumsy Bird

Is this heaven?

Toothpick sits up, breaking the calm. He then pinches himself. The pain is real.

Toothpick

I don’t think so… what year is this?

Hawk is already on his feet, looking around. A lovely waterfall rushes nearby. A sign, with splashes of paint, reads: Leo’s Workshop, with an arrow pointing up a path by the waterfall.

Hawk

Come on, let’s come up here, and see if this Leo can help us get to the time that we need to. 

Icy Stone

Hold up! What time do you need to get to? And what for? 

Hawk decides to confess their real plans.

Hawk

We want to go back in time to stop the zombie apocalypse from happening. 

Icy Stone

Okay… and WHY were you not telling me this until now?
