It might be only early October, but in only a few more weeks Club Penguin Island will be transformed for Halloween 2017. Our Question Crab went out on the Island and got the latest scoop. Within two clicks of a claw, Question Crab had found Dot the Design Gal, who was involved in preparing penguin style for the Island’s spookiest event of the year.
Halloween fashion with Dot the Design Gal
Question Crab: Click click, clickity-click click click
Dot: Whaaat?!
Rookie: Oh, whoops! Forgot to boot up the crab translator. Try now!
CRAB TRANSLATOR: ACTIVATED!
Question Crab: Click-click… just kidding! Do you have any scoops on how penguins on the Island can create frightening fashions this Halloween?
Dot: Totally! I’ve been busy creating new fabrics and decals for members to spookify their styles. You might’ve even seen some penguins using them in my Catalog. They’re so ghoul!
Question Crab: There’s been talk on the Island about how mascots will be transformed for Halloween! What was your inspiration for these boo-tiful outfits?
Dot: This was a lot of fun. I was sitting by the Designer sipping a cocoa until I thought to myself… how amazing would Rockhopper look dressed up as a vampire? After that and a bit of time in the Designer, these transformations were ready! I’ve seen a lot of amazing outfits in the community during my time on the Island and browsing through the Catalog, so a lot of the transformations you’ll see are actually inspired by the community – check out my cat ears and whiskers!
Question Crab: #SquadGhouls! Thanks for sharing this with me, Dot! *clicks claws with joy*
Dot: Oh, and before I forget! EVERY penguin on the Island will be able to unlock and wear a Halloween shirt this year – designed by yours truly of course. Thanks for stopping by!
Question Crab has the scoop on spooktacular style, and couldn’t wait to share the news with a small crowd of non-members dancing in the Welcome Plaza. He could’ve never predicted what would happen next…
Almost as frightening as tricks on Halloween night…
Question Crab: Hello there, free players! What do you think abou-
Non-member: bay
Question Crab: Oh, I think you’ll find I’m busy trying to ask yo-
Non-member: my old bay ran away be my bay
Question Crab: JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT A HALLOWE-
Old bay: CP64236527?! I go to get a seaweed smoothie and you do THIS to me?!
Non-member: bay no this is not what it looks like
Old bay: I think it is… and to think I called you MY BAY.
Non-member: baaaaaaaaay
Question Crab: Oooh, drama! *clicks claws with excitement*
Old bay: I AM GONE. GONE, I TELL YOU.
That was awkward. After a scuttle up to the campground near the village on Mount Blizzard, Question Crab needed the inside scoop on Club Penguin Island traditions for Halloween. And who better to ask than a penguin who’s part-time werewolf and part-time pookie. Although, unfortunately, we met them during the transition phase… where they’re both werewolf and pookie… at the same time.
Is it a pookie? Or is it a werewolf? Werepookie?
Werepookie: AWOOOOOOooooo mumu mumu
Question Crab: Click click clickity-click click click.
Rookie: Not again! Nobody told me about a pookie translator!
POOKIE TRANSLATOR: ACTIVATED!
Werepookie: Why are you here… can’t you see what I am… I am a monster… but also totally adorable, so I can’t blame you for being here. *fur blows in the wind*
Question Crab: I was wondering if you had any information about Club Penguin Island traditions for Halloween. There’s been a lot of new arrivals on the Island since last Halloween, so I was wondering what sorts of things you guys do around here?
Werepookie: One of my personal favourites, when I’m a fully-transformed werewolf of course, is trick-or-treating. Ah, I remember last year when it was just me and my werewolf friends here on Mount Blizzard, knocking on each other’s caves and either serving edible treats or coins, or pulling out a nasty trick with fireworks or hydrants. I’ve lost count of how many times I was tricked but it was very fun. Actually… maybe they weren’t werewolves… come to think of it, they might’ve been yetis.
Question Crab: Trick-or-treating with yetis!? Now that’s fang-tastic mountain gossip. Any other traditions you’ve heard about?
Werepookie: I think I remember hearing “woooo” somewhere on the Island… I just assumed it was a REALLY LOUD concert crowd at Coconut Cove. Anyways, by that time it was already close to November and I was transforming back into a totes adorbs pookie.
Question Crab: Interesting, interesting! Hmm… I wonder what other spooky secrets the Island is hiding. Bye! *turns off pookie translator*
Werepookie: mumu? mumu! mumumumumumumumumu!!!
Does anyone else think it’s slightly odd how we found a were-pookie on the mountain but no actual pookies? Just me? Okay…
The final penguin on the Island our Question Crab had to interview was associate at Gary’s Lab, Doctor Thunder, who has been analysing weather trends in the lead-up to Halloween and has some terrible news.
A dark sky for Halloween, or no dark sky for Halloween, that is the question
Question Crab: Greetings, Doctor Thunder! What’s the latest Island weather report looking like?
Doctor Thunder: 10x²− 11x − 6 = 0
Question Crab: Uhh… uhhh uhhh… uhhhh
Rookie: Seriously?! I told Gary to not train his lab assistants to speak in quadratic equation! *sigh*
SCIENCE TRANSLATOR: ACTIVATED!
Doctor Thunder: I was trying to say… I have bad news! Many penguins have been hoping for a dark sky for Halloween, but after an intense equation solving sesh with Gary, I’m afraid the odds are completely nil! The Island is just always exposed to the Sun!
Question Crab: Phew! I’m glad I can understand that. And… NOOOO! Surely you and Gary have a solution?
Doctor Thunder: You bet! We’ve sent a crate filled with neodymium magnets up to where all of the Earth’s satellites are orbiting the planet. It might attract a few satellites and send GPS systems into total meltdown, but that doesn’t matter to us on the Island. After that, Gary will unveil his GIGANTIC NEODYMIUM MAGNET which will repel the magnetic force of our magnets crate in space and spin the Earth 180°! The Island will almost certainly face away from the Sun now!
Question Crab: Uhh… are you sure that’s safe?
Doctor Thunder: Certainly! If it isn’t safe, you’ll either see the entire Island explode as our magnetic crate from space collides with Gary’s Lab at an unpredictably high velocity, see the planet Earth be completely knocked out of orbit with the Sun and fly through deep space until we meet another solar system, or it will work!
Question Crab: And then we’ll see night?
Doctor Thunder: The odds of success are… 1 to 12645578530369, we have plenty of chance of night happening on the Island just in time for Halloween!
Question Crab: And the odds of failure?
Doctor Thunder: We don’t talk about those. ?
Operation: Gather Halloween Information… successful!
At last, Question Crab has answers to his burning questions about the upcoming Halloween event on Club Penguin Island. The new 1.7 update is due to arrive by parachuting crate to an app store near you later this month, so keep an eye out! Be sure to boo-kle your seatbelts because it’s going to be the start of an awesome journey together, penguins. If you have any questions about the Halloween event, leave them in the comments below and I’ll do my best to answer them.
And until next time, penguin friends…
