Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 6: Chaos in City Hall

Slanted Fish

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

Ohhh… you must be pretty upset with me for ruining that perfect, happy in the last episode with another planted blueberry smoothie machine and ANOTHER zombie. But I didn’t like all this… peacefulness and decided to send certain people to their doom (if you’ve ever written a story, you’ll understand). But now you want to know what happens next! Of course, of course! (Or start from the beginning here.)

Please enjoy Episode Six, and PLEASE don’t hate me for all the events that happen. (Feel free to tell me if you want any characters/islands in the future episodes! Bosko was suggested by Fast Lizard.)

Magic Kid— over and out!

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Six: Chaos in City Hall

The City Hall of Goofball Island is frozen. Nobody is moving. Athena has her mouth open, and Birdy, Pick, and Hawk seem to turn to stone for a moment, because of that terrible, terrible shock. And then fear floods the bones of all the Poptropicans in the City Hall. Fear that is so surprising, so frightening that for a solid minute, everybody is staying still, like they are made of ice. 

Zombie

Bleh?

And the chaos erupts. Poptropicans screaming, fainting, running. The  zombie chases the scared-silly mayor around until…

Bosko

No!

…The mayor becomes indigo as well. Another zombie.

Fanfic: The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder 🌩️ Chapter 3

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!

Hello! Serious Heart here, with Chapter 3 of The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder, taking place on 24 Carrot Island. Enjoy!

(Start from Prologue) (Continued from Chapter 2)

FADE IN.

FRIENDLY THUNDER, DIZZY CLAW, and ICY SNAKE are in the pipe. They go through the pipe and enter a dark room.

DIZZY CLAW:
Why is it so dark?

ICY SNAKE:
I don’t know! I can’t see my hand in front of my face!

FRIENDLY THUNDER goes over to three switches.

FRIENDLY THUNDER:
I’d love some light right now.

DIZZY CLAW:
I second it.

The lights turn on, and a claw starts moving.

DIZZY CLAW (sighs):
Was that supposed to be a name pun? You know, Dizzy Claw, and that’s a claw?

Crickets chirp in the background.

DIZZY CLAW:
No? Fine.

FRIENDLY THUNDER:
Come on, Dizzy Claw!

Teenage Kraken goofing around under orange skies 🦑

Slanted Fish

What’s part of Poptropica’s world this week? Move over, The Little Mermaid: Home Island is now promoting Dreamworks’ upcoming animation — Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken! 🦑

Inside, where you’ll swim instead of walk, Ruby needs your help retrieving a trident. 🔱 Click to jump to dodge sea creatures and tap the space bar to blast water, which knocks things out of the way. But you can only do one action at a time, so balance your moves carefully!

Upon completing the chase, you’ll win a Sea Dog Follower and purple Kraken Tentacles, which glow pink when the space bar is pressed.

Maybe it is better down where it’s wetter. Up on land, you might have seen the news last week of New York City covered in orange skies, a sign of poor air quality — which Poptropica quickly likened to the dystopian future of Time Tangled Island in a meme on social media. ✴️

And the Creators are staying cute talking about a “Poptropica summer” popping with activities — but besides the ads, when will we be getting new content to enjoy? The Baron’s ship has been gone half a year…

Much of the Pop Creators team is a mystery these days, but we’re still getting cool content from Jonathan Pitcher, who recently posted a selfie showing him working on Goofball Island. Keep going, Jon!

Rounding off this update, here’s the latest in fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories. Enjoy! 🎉

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 5: Goofing Off

Slanted Fish

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

Heya! The day that you have all been waiting for— Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES. I might as well give you a brief introduction, but if you had missed the last chapter you can catch it here, or start from the beginning here. I also have some art that you can find here.

The story ended last time when Clumsy Bird, Witty Toothpick, and Jazzy Hawk got word that there were more people out there surviving, and that they would hold a meeting on Goofball Island, in the city hall. So they set their yellow blimp on course to that island… but… someone is watching their every move. And the team knows nothing about it at all. 

What happens next?

You’ll have to find out for yourself.

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Five: Goofing Off

It’s nearing morning. 

The yellow blimp passes several peaceful fields, gliding through the crisp morning air, over dew-spangled grass. The sun, just peeking over the horizon of hills, is bright and pure. 

And then there are the zombies.

They are a bright indigo color, and occasionally speckling the grass. But they are what turn this rather calm morning into something of a nightmare. The birds tweeting and calling are drowned out by the eerie moans and groans.

Clumsy Bird

It’s MORNING? Isn’t this WONDERFUL?!

Clumsy Bird (or Birdy) seems extra cheerful this morning, perhaps because they were on their way to meet fellow survivors. She is bouncing around the small blimp, making it shake a little.

Witty Toothpick

Stop shaking the blimp! It’s too early in the morning! *yawn*

Clumsy Bird sits down on the chair by the blimp’s steering wheel, and keeps bouncing her feet off the group.

Clumsy Bird

I can’t help it!! I’m just TOO EXCITED!

Jazzy Hawk

Stop talking! We’re t— *yawn* t—tired.

Birdy

Well, too bad! Wake up! WAKE UP!!! I CAN’T WAIT!
