(UPDATE – DEC 2023: The Discord appearance has been debunked as not representing the real Poptropica. The PHB apologizes for the error.)

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Poptropicans! 🍁✨🦃 Whether you’re getting stuffed on stuffing or passing through just another day, let it be known that we’re thankful to have you sticking around with us. 🩵

And guess who else is still sticking around? The Poptropica Creators! After two months of silence since their last IG post in Sept, Poptropica surprised us by popping into our Discord server, the PHC, to say:

Cyber Monday, in case you’re not familiar, is an occasion for online shopping deals. It’s similar to Black Friday the week before, but focused in cyberspace. Though Poptropica didn’t elaborate on their message, we can guess that there may be some discounts coming up — perhaps on Pop merch, memberships, or their Steam bundle? Guess we’ll find out…

In the meantime, happy Thanksgiving! 🥳

INT. EREWHON PRISON, JUPITER’S LAB –  EVENING

FADE IN.

We open this episode where we left off, with DIRECTOR D. and MOREAU watching the completion of the beginning of JUPITER’S experiment. All four prisoners are in their places now, hung in suspended animation in a sleep-like state, with JUPITER looking proudly on.

MOREAU

…So…what will happen to them?

JUPITER

(Pacing)

Ideally, I will have removed all their evil temptations and desires, and I will be able to prove them as good, law-abiding members of society.

(Con’t)

But reality is often not ideal. I doubt this will change them at all–at best, the chance for these things to go wrong is quite high.

(Con’t)

But we must all make sacrifices for our goals…I’m sure you would understand.

DIRECTOR D. and MOREAU don’t respond. They likely don’t have any moral opposition to this sort of experimentation, but they’re still very stunned and confused.

JUPITER

Now, if you’ll leave us be—

A lab assistant walks up to the bottom platform, sitting in a chair under the devices. A helmet slowly attaches to his head, and the entire machine lights up, nearly blinding all in the room.

Once the lights are gone, so is the assistant, with the helmet and chair empty as though nothing had happened at all.

JUPITER

–I’ll let my assistants get started on exploring their minds.

(Con’t)

Let Stage 1 of the Dream Machine Project begin!

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for galactic gifts and spooky sensations! 💫

October’s member gifts appear to be gearing up the privileged for another dimension, with a Star System Blaster (which shoots hot pink spheres), Goggles, and Uniform in the array. To infinity and beyond! 🚀

---

Meanwhile in Adventure Outfitters, the shop is well-stocked for the spooky season. On the shop floor, you’ll find Halloween outfits, followers, and clubhouse decor for non-members and members alike. 🎃

The main section is filled with costumes for Halloween as well, including a purple witch’s wand, skull mask originally from Legendary Swords, and a couple of Astro-Knights looks from long ago, similar to those once seen on the Baron’s long-gone airship. 👀

For more fun this fall, check out our #Poptober2023 Art Challenge for some drawing prompts, and share your work with us on our Discord server, the PHC. Happy haunting, Poptropicans! 👻🌚

Hello Poptropicans! Once again I nearly missed making this for October, but here it is right on the dot at the start of the new month. 🍂

Like past Poptober events, the “rules” are simple: draw something according to these Pop-related prompts. For you ambitious artists out there, you can opt for the full challenge of drawing each prompt every day. But otherwise, feel free to pick and choose or do an alternate version of the challenge, such as every other day or every week. 🧑‍🎨

Poptober takes inspiration from creativity challenges like Inktober or Mermay, and there are no particular rules on art mediums or how to interpret the prompts. Just keep it Poptropica-themed!

We’d love to see your creations, and there are plenty of ways to share them with us. ✨ You can comment on this post with link(s) to your art, post on Instagram with the hashtag #Poptober2023, or share on the #pop-art channel of the PHC, our Discord server.

Have fun creating, and I’ll hop on here again later!
