Well! It looks like I’m not the only one. We’re hearing a lot of chatter that Poptropicans who have ventured into Cryptids Island are finding it to be a pretty scary place. As an example…
This is the least creepy thing you’ll see in this house.
Are you ready to set foot into the most frightening Poptropica Island yet? We hope to see lots and lots of you on Cryptids Island this weekend!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH 20
EL-This guy isn’t ugly. He’s just so freaken’ demented. The ghost Crawfish 1 I suppose. What will we do for Captain Crawfish 20? O.0
A skywriter flies overhead and spells out
‘CRYPTIDS ISLAND OPEN TO ALL’
But down below, it’s the seafood that has everyone’s attention.
EL: How does it feel to be the first one in your family to go a whole post without being nommed?
Captain Crawfish 14: I don’t know, I didn’t think I’d make it this far.
EL: You won’t survive for long…
CC 14: Huh?
Hijuyo: Hicoga! Lights please!
Hicoga: Yes sir! (Scence changes to a candlelit dinner. CC 14 is tied to a chair.)
CC 14: Huh? Why am I tied up….? (Hijuyo & Hicoga grab silverware. EL blows out candle.)
CC 14: Oh no! …Why do you eat me slowly?
EL: I’m gentle, Crawfish. I’d only eat Shark Boy viciously.
CC 14: I suffer nice deaths. 😀
EL: I could’ve eaten you now, right?
CC 14: Uh, to the POST!
EL: Killing two authors with one post.
Hijuyo: I thought the shark tasted pretty good, actually.
Hicoga: Yeah. We should definitely put that on our menu more often.
Hijuyo: Hey guys! It’s Juyo&Crawfish here to remind – TUMBLR-STYLE – all you non-members that Cryptids Island comes out JANUARY 18 for us! Excited? Here’s one last sneak peek before you get to enter the island for realz!
Captain Crawfish 13: Y’know, since I’m probably the unluckiest of my family, and I’ve just been scared off by Cryptids Island so badly that I ran and hid back in my homeland, I’m not even gonna bother. In fact, you probably just brought me here to eat me.
Hijuyo: Aw, you’re no fun. :C
CC 13: -.o
Here you have it: the moment where Cryptids Island became too frightening for me to continue, and I was forced to retreat to the friendly waters of Skullduggery Island. Seriously, these woods are terrifying!
Are you up to the challenge of Cryptids Island? Non-Members will able to play tomorrow!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Hijuyo: Really? “Too frightening” for you?
CC 13: I knew this was a bad idea…
Hijuyo: Yeah? Well, post’s over, guys! Next on our agenda… let’s see here… oh yes, that’s right, NOM THE CRAWFISHAY!
CC 13: You heartless people!
Hijuyo: |-)
CC 13: *backs into corner, cowers, and prepares to be nommed*
Hijuyo: Wow, you’re an easy one. Okay, kids, GET AT HIM!
<Large flow of PHB audience members trample on each others’ feet in a mad dash for Crawfish>
PHB guy 1: SATISFYING.
PHB guy 2: Dibs on that golden pegleg!
PHB guy 3: Mmm. Gotta love crawfish.
(Please go here to see the gif, as I am unable to copy and paste nor save it)
Nothing like a make-up exam.
SHARK BOY
Although, if you examine if long enough, you may notice that the gif does stop after a while, in the same position it seemed to be eternally stuck in on the previous post. There is a strong chance the horse may be from Wild West island, as you immediately think horsies and pretty ponies when you think cowboys!
Notice how the horse looks awfully similar to a new Daily Pop picture?
There’s also several more Daily Pop pictures– check them out!
It looks a bit like Uno– but the title does say Jack. Perhaps a Poptropica form of Slap Jack, Black Jack, or even an entirely new game!
“Now, lerkey here, Creators. Yer release Cryptids Island sooner then planned and we dun have to report you to the Sheriff. Ev’rybody wins.”
These baddies don’t scare me! *whimper*
I don’t think I want to know either…
Hey, look! There’s Captain Crawfish, kids!
RCG: Oh, hi Captain Crawfish!
CC XII: Agggghhh!
RCG: Got a toothache?
CC XII: Youre…you’re one of those bratty PHB people who always like
to eat me!
RCG: It’s all cool. I don’t like seafood.
CC XII: Oh, very well…I guess I can tell you about the new post.
Cryptids Island can be dangerous for an old salt like me. Sea legs I’ve got. Mountaineering arms, not so much. Good thing I found a guide to help me out.
Cryptids Island will be open to everybody next Tuesday, January 18!
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Whispers from the shadows: Mmm…salt.
CC XII: Who said that??!?!
RCG: No one. It’s okay, Crawfishy.
CC XII: Arghhh, I’m not so sure about that.
RCG: Oh, well. It’s a shame I didn’t bring any salt myself, but I guess you’re already bloated from it, living on the seas and such. It was nice knowing you. I’m glad we could become acquaintances. …Ok guys! Come on in!
*rest of PHB team appears*
CC XII: B-b-but you said you didn’t like seafood!
RCG: I never said that the others didn’t like seafood…
*THUNDER CACKLES*
(lights flicker on an off until there is complete darkness)
Random PHB Member: Hey! That’s my finger! AGGGHH! SOMEONE’S EATING MY HAND!
Random PHB Member 2: I’m eating someone’s hand? *barf*
RCG: SOMEONE GET OFF OF ME BEFORE I SMACK THEM!
Random PHB Member 3: Where’s that Crawfish Dude? He’s gotten away!
Whether an ocean or a lake — or “loch,” as some call it — I’m always more comfortable on a boat than on land. But during my trip to Scotland in Cryptids Island, I was the passenger and not a captain. I even found time to take pictures.
Did I find proof of the Loch Ness Monster?
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
RCG: *sigh* Notice the strange ridges along “Nessie”? They don’t exactly look like scales. I think you only saw truck tires or giant rusty mechanical gears.
CC XII: How’d you get here?!
RCG: Oh, I’m apart of the PHB posting a random update, and this is only written text. That means I can go where ever I want, as long as the words take me! You’re simply only typed up as well. Did I mention I’m a secret sorceress?
Black Widow strikes again! This time she’s posting–not exactly a news story or update– but a few tips to help the newer Poptropica players to find their way around.
You fashionistas out there already know that there are hundreds of outfits on Poptropica that you can costumize on Islands, or buy in the Store. And there are thousands of possible costume combinations that you can put together when you combine pieces from them all.
All those accessories can be hard to hold onto. Here are a few tricks for keeping around your favorite ensembles.
The Costume Collector Gold Card is available in the Poptropica store. It’s free to use for Members, or 250 Credits for non-Members. With the Costume Collector, you can store up to three of your costumes exactly as they are, so you don’t have to worry about having to put them all together again later.
The Portrait Printer, also in the Store free for Members and 250 Credits for non-Members, lets you immortalize your greatest fashion creations on paper. You can pose your Poptropican, add one of several backgrounds, and then print it out for all to see!
Finally, all Members and non-Members with a Poptropica username can use the Avatar Studio to save a picture of their current look and share it with the world. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and play dress up!
BLACK WIDOW
While older members may know these, it’s always nice to have a bit more knowledge. After all, knowledge leads you to frolic– no, knowledge leads you to college! Or something all the adults say to trick you into eating your brussel sprouts and spinach. Either way, isn’t frolicking in the flowers quite fun?
What’s your favorite thing out of these three awesome advantages to Pop? (other then frolicking and skipping in the daisies, which no doubt the creators must add as a feature.)
As for the Daily Pop, there’s a new one called “Mine Is Yours”. How queer? Perhaps the “Mine” actually means… a mine!
*squee* Isn't Shark Boy just the most adorable?! Sorry, fangirl moment there.
It seems to be a scene from Nabooti Island– or perhaps an old island idea that was scrapped, or even an *gasp* upcoming island! As for me, if I were stuck in that unfortunate Poptropican’s place I’d probably be screaming my lungs out as well.
I took the liberty to go on my backup account and check out the mines at Nabooti. It took me a giant 18 minutes to get the camera and hard hat and everything! The things I do for you guys.
They don’t seem to resemble each other much. You don’t see that giant pipe thing or the broken boards in the background of the Daily Pop picture. Perhaps it was an early sketch.
By the way, maybe you know, and if you didn’t, you gained some more knowledge for frolicking! Tomorrow, January 8th (at least for the states), it’ll be none other then…The King of Rock n’ Roll’s birthday! Yes, lady and gents, Elvis Presley himself! Just a little fun fact I know c:
