“Hiiii everybody, it’s me Jessie! This week’s LadyStar Chapter of the Week is a real neat one. It’s from our first book, The Dreamspeaker, and it’s a chapter that’s called Swifty River. It’s about when Talitha found this real spooky forest where these little lights float around the trees and a pond. There’s this little bridge that’s real important later too. We hope you like our story! Be sure to visit us every week for a new best chapter! Ja!”

“Hi everyone! It’s me Jessie! We’re starting a new thing on our site because we like having new stuff. So we’re going to do something called the ‘Chapter of the Week’ from all our best stories. This week is Chapter 15 from The Palace in the Sky which is the second book in our series.”
“The chapter is called ‘The Solar System Reconstruction Committee.’ It’s about the time we helped Cici build a new model of the solar system ’cause some mean kids at her school broke the first one.”
“And the best part is you can read it for free just like all our books! We’re gonna have a new chapter every week, so be sure to check back soon for more stories!”

“Hi everyone! Shannon here. You probably already noticed I opened a New Gift Shop, and Hayashi really went all out with a really cool new design. I’d be really happy if you would all come visit us because this is the best Gift Shop we’ve ever had, and we’re starting a new thing on our site today.”
“Teko likes to explore, so he’s going to fly through our shop to find a new item each week that will be ‘Teko’s Magical Treasure.’ We’ll announce it here along with a link.”
“This way we can announce our best Gift Shop gifts with our best designs.”
“And you know we’ve got the best designs!”
“This week’s Magical Treasure is the Warrior of the Night Tote Bag with our brand new Starlight Huntress design.”
Teko’s Magical Treasure of the Week
“Yay for Teko-chan! Don’t forget, minna! Shannon-sama donates some of what the Gift Shop makes to benefit the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls which is a super-neat camp every year that’s all about music! Have fun! Ja ne!”

“Sigh… it’s a shame too. They only found one Ajan wimp, and it’s been over a week.”
“Six days to go until we cancel the party for them. I can’t wait to see all the disappointment.”
“Come on, we’ve got more of those sad face buttons to sell.”
“I’m depressed.”
“You’re always depressed.”

“Yeah! Teko left us a clue and now we’re looking for more pink flowers!”
“That’s good, Cici. Those flowers could be anywhere on the site. Teko moves very fast and he’s very smart.”
“Okay Acey! Can Talitha use my radio thingy too?”
“Sure. I’ll tell Z-bot to relay all signals from your com unit.”
“Yay! Thanks Acey! You’re the best!”

“It’s Teko! He’s making another flower appear in his beak!”
“Just like in the Venom Deeps.”
“Look! My timepiece is glowing. That flower must be enchanted.”
“It’s real pink rose too.”
“Teko flew away! I wonder why Teko sits outside in the trees all the time?”
“I think he misses Jessie.”
“I miss Jessie too.”
“The clue is, ‘anything could be a link.’”
“I wonder if we’ll be able to find them?”
“Well, we’re the Ajan Warriors, right?”
“Right! That’s what Ranko always says!”
“We’ve got our treasures and our powers back, so let’s go see what we can find together, okay?”

zzzzzz
“Oof! You’re a heavy one aren’t you? Arrrgh! You’re too heavy for me! Well I was headed for class anyway so I guess you can stay here until you find another place to sleep.”
“Okay, here’s that computer that Talitha was using with the green letters. She did a ‘ping’ something and that made it so Acey could hear us. Let me try it.”

“This is where Talitha was using the computer, Hikousen, but we gotta be real quiet ’cause it’s like a library.”
“mmmmmwwwrzzzzzz”
“That’s the teacher’s desk I think. It’s the one with all the papers. Maybe I should transform and then I can use my powers to make them go away.”
zzzzzz
“Or I can use big fat purring kitty power.”
*oof* “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….”
“You’re gonna sleep there Hikousen. Don’t move until I get back. I’m gonna go use Talitha’s computer so I can call Acey to help us.”

The Haunted Halloween Hunt now has its own page so you can follow Cici n’ Hikousen’s spooky adventure!

“Greetings humans! heh heh heh… seems we’ve got us a web site now that everyone else is gone. We brought some of our friends along too.”
“Pathetic humanssssss. . . . Your Ajan Warriorssssssss are finissssssssshed. . . . You thought we were defeated at the Lithic Pavilion, but you cannot defeat ussssss ssssso eassssily. . .”
“So as you can see, we’re in charge around here now.”
“This is all so pointless. Why is everything so pointless?”
“Oh, I’m afraid we’ll find the last of the Ajan Warriors soon enough. . . heh heh heh get it? ‘I’m afraid?’”
“I’m so depressed.”
“Go ahead you simpering humans. See if you can find them! We dare you.”
“They get candy and parties and what do I get? A candle burning the top of my head for two weeks. Go away and leave us alone.”
Jessica, Shannon, Talitha, Ranko, Leila and Alanna were all together at school. But one by one, they have vanished. Only Cici and Hikousen are left, and they’ve set out to rescue their friends.
But they need YOUR help. The nefarious Haunted Halloween minions have trapped Jessica and her friends in ensorcelled cages hidden somewhere around the LadyStar web site. Each time you discover one of the ensorcelled cages, you will be able to read another chapter of the story of Cici n’ Hikousen’s Haunted Halloween Hunt. If you can find them, you will be helping Cici and Hikousen solve the Halloween mystery.
Starting Monday night, October 15th, you have until Halloween night, October 31st, to help rescue all six of Cici’s friends. Then, on Halloween night, the seventh and final chapter of the Haunted Halloween Hunt will be published exclusively right here on the Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar. Can you defeat the Halloween minions and rescue Cici’s friends?
Are you up for the challenge? Prepare yourself. The minions are waiting, and they know what scares you . . .

“And you haven’t seen either of them since yesterday?”
“No, Alanna-sama. We haven’t seen anyone. Leila-sama, Talitha-chan and now Shannon-sama are all missing and nobody has heard from them at all.”
“Here comes Yorozu, maybe she’s heard something.”
“We got trouble, boss. I checked the band room, and Goofy called everyone last night. Now it’s all three of them, and we haven’t seen Little Bit yet today.”
“We have to find her. She’s the only one left with an Ajan Treasure. We have to check her school first. Come on.”
“Ranko-chan, what do you think is going on?”
“I think it’s that Sorcerer Dude, and our biggest problem is the Professor had one of our only two treasures, so we’ve got to stay frosty and be ready for anything. I hope we can find Little Bit. Let’s go.”

“The Prologue for the Varcarel Jade story was published, and so now we got two pages on the web comic site!”
“Okay, so like how do you get from one page to the next?”
“There are ‘Previous Page’ and ‘Next Page’ links at the bottom of each page.”
“Sweet! Bonus update action, folks! Have fun!”
“Ja!”

“This must have been why we’ve had that tough-looking girl on our main page for the past few weeks, huh?”
“I never thought we’d be surprised by big events on our own site, but I know I was surprised.”
“Cici, how did you know about all of this before anyone else did?”
“”Cause I’m the Warrior of the Rocks and I’m ready for anything! My lantern tells me when things are enchanted and stuff.”
“So you found out about the web comic and halloween stuff ’cause of your lantern?”
“Makes sense, right? LadyStar webcomic, enchanted webcomic. We got no shortage of magical artifacts and such. That Chronicler’s Lantern doesn’t miss much.”
“I wonder what we’re gonna get to do for Halloween? I hope it’s fun and not scary.”

Good Morning All:
I have another one of those busy days ahead. Lots of logistics and driving involved. Neither of which I am looking forward to.
I did manage to list two of my ACEO collage Prints in My Etsy Shop, as I didn't list anything yesterday:
The Guardian
This ACEO is the very first in an on-going series called "The Guardian Series". This is the one that started it all.
Creepy Ghost Boy
I must say that the print above, "Creepy Ghost Boy" really does send chills up and down my spine. I collaged him very simply as I wanted the original look of his image to carry the piece. I did nothing to enhance him or make him creepier. I don't know who he was or what his story was. I just know that this photo gave me a spooky feeling the moment I laid eyes upon it. I don't know why he has such a look on his face nor do I know why he was bald. Needless to say, the original photo stays well put at the bottom of a box of vintage photos. I have not looked at the original photo since putting it away.
I'll leave you to take a gander at these collage prints as I am out the door in one hour.
Hope that you all have a lovely and productive day.
Until Tomorrow:
