The Mystery of the Puffle Resort

✅

A spooky mystery has shrouded the Puffle Resort! Can our hero figure out what's going on at the mysterious Resort before any disastrous things happen?

Chapter 1: Meet Terti




Snow: It sure is wonderful today-- Wait. Why is the Puffle Resort all festive this early?

???: S-Sorry. T-The P-Puffle Resort's closed...

???: I suppose the le-least I could d-do is introduce myself...

???: The name's Terti. I-I've been put in c-charge of this place for the holiday season...

Terti: T-This place was haunted, so I had to s-shut this place d-down until something could be d-done.

Snow takes a look around the unusual Puffle Resort, noticing it appearing rather spooky.

Terti: F-Fear not, though... I figured o-out an alternate entrance into the b-basement!

Snow: Alrighty, then. Leave the rest to me.

Snow climbs down to the basement, greeted by Ghastly.

Ghastly: Heya, Snow. I've been expecting you... My comrades were messing with the switches and broke the elevator, so no one can access it... I feel guilty for not being able to fix it... but maybe you know how... so... do you?

Snow: Funny enough, I do.

Snow fixes the switches, and the Elevator starts working, only for him to be greeted by Terti.

Terti: A great fix indeed, Snow! At this rate, you'll be able to solve this mystery in no time!

Ghastly: So you're hangin' out with THAT guy? He seems shady, if you ask me... But... I'm sure you can count on him!

Little does our hero know that Ghastly was foreshadowing...

Snow: Terti? He's no harm to anyone!

Chapter 2: The Fear Of 13


Terti: My signals detect strange activity from the fourth floor!

Snow: Then I'll be setting off...!

Terti: Wait. There are... thirteen candles in the room. Perhaps the candles are what's causing the activity. Could you check?

Snow: That I'll do.

Terti: Best wishes, Snow!

Snow arrives at floor four, and to his surprise, the candles started lighting, one by one.

Snow: Let's take care of the problem at the source!

Snow extinguishes all the thirteen flames, only to be greeted by Terti again.

Terti: Well, well, well. Looks like you extinguished the flames, no problem! Let's get going before anything else happens, though.

Snow: But doesn't this seem off...?

Chapter 3: Destination Paranormal


Snow and Terti arrive at floor 5, in the midst of a conversation between Ghastly and Peeka.

Ghastly: So Peeka, what do you suppose that Terti's up to?

Peeka: Well, speak of the devil!

The two turn to see Terti and Snow.

Terti: WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

Snow: Looks like someone left their luggage...

Snow: I'll see what's inside.

From out of the boxes come flying several ghost Puffles.

Haunt Puffie: About time someone came to save us!

Spooker: I've been spooked!

Ghastly: Well, would you look at that! Not even I could open that thing!

Chapter 4: Tectonic Dishes?


Snow: Now that that's over with...

Terti: Wait! My Para-Activ 3000 is getting reports of strange activity on the 6th floor! This is surely a bad sign!

Snow: *facepalms* What now?

Terti: The Dining Hall is filled with plates, (FQOTY 2018 quality right here) but these plates have a mind of their own sometimes. There's a fireplace that only opens to direct sunlight, where another machine part awaits.

Snow: All for another machine part, huh?

Terti: Yes. I don't know why, but yes.

Snow: So if that's the case...

Snow: I'd guess I'm going to have to put everything into plate.

Terti: Haha, you're funny. But now's not a good time.

Snow: What do you mean? If any time's good, dish is certainly it!

Terti: You can DO it!

Snow enters the 6th floor, finding out, to his surprise, the plates moving themselves.

Ghastly: Of course some disrespectful specter is busy causing trouble here! Why must I be framed for all this?!?

Snow: Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Snow hops on a table, and moves the plate carefully...

Snow: Done.

We know.

Snow: So what if you know? It's a PLATE. A PLATE, for crying out LOUD!

Snow: Alright. Moving on, there's more to do here~

And so he did just that.

And who is at the elevator once more but Terti.

Terti: Well, then! I suppose that since you got that taken care of... you really ARE up for anything!

Ghastly: Impressive, Snow! You did a fine job! Now, if only I had bones so I could pick on that jerk.

Terti: You AGAIN? Can't you take a hint?!?

Ghastly: Nothing I did was wrong, I'm telling you! Nothing at all!

Terti: *sigh*

Chapter 5: Twisted- the story of Ballet
Snow: Wait. ANOTHER puzzle?

Terti: Yes. Another. I hate it, too.

Snow: Well, what's your advice?

Terti: I think we're to follow those obvious signs.

So they did just that, only to find themselves tangled up with their prize.

Snow: That was totally not worth it.

Terti: Agreed.

Snow: Now let's go!

I do say that Terti appearing in the elevator AFTER Snow's done is a bit cliche now.

Chapter 6: Do the Pumpkin Smash!
Snow: There's too many pumpkins to take care of!

Snow: Well, Terti's untangling himself, so I'll have to smash these... uhh... plants... all by myself.

Snow: TAKE THAT, YOU HAUNTED PUMPKIN!

And he smashed and smashed on, eventually leaving one pumpkin.

Snow: Now GET OUT.

Ghastly: Of COURSE those were haunted. Why ELSE would those stupid specters want to be REBELLIOUS TO THEIR AUTHORITIES?

...and there's Terti.

Terti: There HAS to be a reason to all this! Let's go.

Chapter 7: Be very quite (misspelling intended).
Terti: Shh! This is the library!

Snow: I must find another way.

Terti: Huh.

Snow walks through a gate and finds himself by the prize.

Snow: That's that!

And so they're off.

Chapter 8: Luxurious Room
Once again, we see Ghastly and Peeka in the middle of a conversation.

Ghastly: Do you suppose Terti's doing something to trap us?

Peeka: I've said it once, I'll say it again: Speak of the wolf, and the wolf's at the door.

Terti: Well, well, well... trying to speak bad about me?

Terti: I'm no evildoer, unlike that nasty Skip of that Puffle Hotel, at least.

Terti: I'm trying to solve this mystery too!

Snow: Yes. Terti's toughened up quite a bit with me on his side.

Terti: He makes a good point.

Snow: Before anything out-of-hand happens, we'd best get going.

So they did.

Chapter 9: The Statue of Prophecy
'You weren't expecting the link to be there, were you? Too bad.'

Snow: *gasp* Are we there yet?

???: To get the final piece from me is much easier than it should be.

???: I'll let you take take the prize, you see, as long as you listen to me.

Snow: Got it.

???: The story from long ago tells me about a puffle named Snow.

???: On the eve of Hallows, here we go, up the floors they shall go.

???: A wonderful machine shall they make, but it's not as easy as cake.

???: The Resort's boss is on vacay, so Terti's here to save the day.

???: However, with a switch's flick, Terti changes really quick.

???: Terti grows a monstrous size, the ghost Puffles will have their demise.

???: And the hero's snowballs go, only 5 shall he throw.

???: Terti's life will be saved, the Ghost Puffles become so brave that

???: Terti disappears in darkness then, the ghost puffles banished him.

Chapter 10: The BIG Setup
Snow: Alright, so what now?

Terti: Let's get this machine set up, that's what!

They did that very well.

Terti: Up we go!

And they land at floor 13.

Snow: Oh my.

Terti: [https://archives.clubpenguinwiki.info/static/images/archives/9/96/RoomsParty11-HalloweenParty2014.swf Nothing to worry about, it's just the machine- wait. What does this switch do?]

As the statue predicted-

???: See? I never lie. Look at that, oh me, oh my!

-Terti became a big, bad ghost!

Terti: HAHAHAHAHA!

Snow: Aah! Terti?

Terti: Don't listen to-- YOU FOOL! YOU'RE IN MY CLUTCHES NOW!

Snow: Well then. Only one way to solve this.

And there's Rapto.

Rapto: Prepare yourself, monstrous excuse of a puffle!

Terti: That's the ticket, bud- WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME, FOOLISH CREATURE?

Rapto: I put my game face on, buddy. It's going down to B1.

Rapto juggles five snowballs, each aiming for a different spot on floor 13.

Terti: And one hits the power circui- NOT THE POWER CIRCUIT! IT'S FREE! NO!

Terti: And another broke the shie- NOT THE SHIELD! THAT WAS TO TRAP THE GHOST PUFFLES FOREVER!

Terti: One hit the trash- HA, HA! YOU MISSED ME!

Terti: One hit the pressure dete- THAT TOOK AGES TO MAKE! YOU MONSTROUS EXCUSE OF A CREATURE THAT THE BOF WAS LAZY ENOUGH TO MAKE!

Terti: And bravo! That should stop this beastly- NOOOOOO!

And Terti falls down, deeply wounded.

As the prophecy predicted once again-

???: As I said, I'm always right! Merry Walrus Halloween to all, and to all, a good night!

''-the ghost Puffles surrounded Terti... but the prophecy was wrong!''

???: Aww, come on! The one time I was right... Nothing is as it seems, to all, good night!

Terti wasn't banished!

Terti: I promise, the last thing I'll ever do is flick a switch that seems suspicious.

Snow: Indeed. I'm gonna have nightmares from that... incident.

Terti: Well then, I guess we'll part ways. It was nice meeting you!

Snow: I'm assuming we'll see each other around...

Terti: Also, spoiler alert, but you haven't seen the last of me!

Snow: Not sure when that'll be, though.

Snow: Anyone needs to know this very common phrase: The only thing to fear is fear itself... also fear spiders if you've got arachnophobia.

Epilogue
Snow: Well, that was unusual, to say the least. Let's hope it's over now.

FrostByte: Oh, hey there, Snow! Where have you been?

Snow: I just hope it's over...

FrostByte: Wait... what's that? A machine part? Where'd that come from?

A small TV came out of the machine part, and SnoX's henchman, DigiPuffle 2.0 said, "You win this time... muahahahaha!"

Right after, an X briefly appeared on the screen, and then the machine part self-destructed.

Snow: Uhh, okay... so SnoX was behind this after all!

So I guess SnoX was the real problem, not Terti.
