Twinkle's Story: Chapter 18

*WARNING: Contains some emotional and slightly violent scenes.*
*And yes. Warnings like these usually correspond to the 'Duke's view' part of chapters. And Twinkle is all happy-like. For now... XD*
*Sorry the 'Twinkle's view' is so short compared to the 'Duke's view'. X3*
*Eh, enough of whatever-this-is. Enjoy! Well, only the parts that are meant to be enjoyable. (You'll see...) ^-^*

DUKE

That was the second time that happened. I knew I symbolized 'fire' before the voice told Twinkle and me unexpectedly. So how did I know before that?

 Maybe it's because I have a mark that's in Jamaa's worst enemies' favorite colors, which is shaped into a simple flame. So simple, yet so destructive. I think that if I show it to anyone, they'll think I'm cursed, or something like that. But even if/when they say it, I'll deny it. Because there's no possible way I'm connected to them. It's just a coincidence that the flame is in those colors. Nothing more. So where is this flaming mark? It's on my heart. I wonder if that's where 'the darkness' comes from. I haven't shown anyone it. But now another part of me wants to 'release the flames'. I'm uneasy about that though. Sure, it would be cool explaining to someone that I'm naturally fire. But that's it with the explaining. I don't know how to explain how I got it, or what it even means, at that. And now for some reason, I think that would cause something disastrous. I'm not exactly sure what, but I know it would result in something. And now I can put a name to that 'someone'.

Maybe it's because I shot fire out of my claws before the voices came. I think I only get flaming claws when I'm feeling extremely emotional; a strong feeling, which is usually sadness. I'm also surprised it took me a while for me to get flaming claws, in the first place. I felt the same way, years before the first time it happened. I was feeling extremely sad and emotional when Twinkle kinda died. The same feelings when the demon of me came, moments before. Maybe more than one emotional situation results in me shooting flames out of my claws. It only happened once before. So how did I get flaming claws the first time?

It was the time in-between when I walked out of the hospital room at the other hospital because Dr. Fox didn't want me there as he explained how Twinkle got blue fur, and when Twinkle and I met up on the Tall Tower's roof  for the first time. I know Dr. Fox was lying about that. Well, not exactly lying. He didn't know the real reason why. Twinkle didn't get blue fur because of the reasons he explained. Her blue fur is just the 'ice' that was once trapped inside, now running freely throughout her entire body. Let's just say that I lied. I didn't throw my other shirt out of a window, or whatever. My flaming claws burned it.

For some reason, I kept on thinking about a horrific memory, that day. That memory took place a few days after my aunt died. When I was only four years old. This is what happened.:

My father, mother, and I were all in the same room together. It was the living room. I remember that scene exactly, and ten years later. My father and I were sitting on the couch together. He was reading the Jamaa Journal, the name of our town's newspaper. He let me read alongside him. Actually, I don't think I read it at all. I think I just looked at the black-and-white pictures that corresponded with the news articles. My mother was sitting in the armchair all the way across the room. I remember that she was just sitting there. The TV off, the radio off, not a magazine in paw. She didn't even move.

Eventually, I got bored of looking at the newspaper, so I asked my dad. "Daddy, can I ask Mommy something?" He then stopped reading the paper, and turned his head towards me. "Sure thing, kiddo. Just let me move over, so you can get up." He then moved over, so I could get off the couch and walk over towards my unusually silent mother. And I did. I then stood right in front of my mother, who was just sitting there. I glanced back at my father. He continued reading the paper. I looked forward again. She just stared at me blankly. Like I wasn't even there.

 After a few awkward moments, I asked her my question. "Do you love me, Mommy?" She still stared right through me. I remember that I then glanced all around the room. "Hey, Mommy..." I began to ask my very important question again. After another long period of silence, my dad interrupted me. "Of... of course she does, Duke. We all love you, sweetie." My dad then closed the newspaper, and gave my mom an angry look. As a result, she gave him an even angrier look back. I shuffled my feet, embarrassed. She then gave me the same angry look she gave my father, moments before. "No. Now move. You're in my way, you worthless..." Alarmed, I moved out of the way before she could finish that sentence. Luckily, she didn't. However, she continued sitting there. Not even intending on going up, or anything.

Wide-eyed, I then ran up to my room, and locked the door. But right before I slammed my door shut, I heard my mother shout, "Oh would you shut up!? You know I never wanted him; never loved him. You expect me to lie!? How much of a fool are you, Eternal!? My Zios!" And then I heard my father say much quieter and peacefully, "Then yes. You should've lied. As long as he thinks he's being loved. By both his parents. Oh Zios! Now he thinks that his mother doesn't love him..." I then closed the door. And that was when it hit me. My own mother never loved me. I then cried in my room for the rest of the day, into the night.

Even though this happened way more recently, I forgot why I didn't have that shirt on. Eh, that's not important. I held the shirt in my left paw, the past memory running through my mind. I think there might've been a speck of dust on the shirt, or something. But before I could flick the speck off with my right paw, I crossed my right paw over my body, so it's on my heart. I traced my right paw's claws on the edges of the flame. "Never loved, huh.?" I muttered. I closed my eyes, so only the flaming amber color in my eyes shown. "How could you!?" I said, way louder. I then reached out to flick the speck off the shirt with my right paw, but right when one of my claws was about to flick it off, flames began shooting out of my claws. And then came the impact.

 As soon as the fire from my own claws came in contact with the shirt I was holding in my left paw, for whatever the reason was, the shirt burst into flames. Then, the claws on my left paw started shooting out fire, as well. The shirt then became dark gray in color, almost black. A few seconds later, the shirt just fell apart. It fell on the floor by my feet in ashes. "Calm down. Must calm down." I then thought back to the present day. I was going to meet Twinkle on the Tall Tower's roof in a few minutes, and I wanted to be a few minutes there before her. So then, the thought of Twinkle, calmed me down. The flames stopped coming from my claws. I then quickly looked for another shirt to wear (I had to wear a shirt, of course), remembered what Dr. Fox told me earlier that day, thought of a lie, and ran out in the night to the tall, old, abandoned building's roof. The drizzling rain washing away all the flames.

So that's how I know I symbolize 'fire'. I'm now lying on top of my bed in the therapy room. Flora thinks I'm fine, so she doesn't come check on me as often as she used to. She allows me to stay in here still. Thank Zios. I don't want to leave. Besides, the pillows are more comfortable here than at Sparkle's house. I'm also talking with Finny on the phone. He speaks in a way more serious tone than what he messaged me with yesterday. Why did I let Twinkle see that message? Ugh! Finny sure knows how to embarrass me, even if he's on the other side of fox territory.

"... Duke! You there? Come on, it's very important! It's okay if you're mad at me for yesterday, but this has nothing to with that. Oh come on, answer me already!" I sit up on the bed, and say, "What is it this time, Finny?" I yawn. "Finally you're back! About time. And stop daydreaming about Twinkle, you idiot!" I yawn again, and say, "Wait, what? I'm not daydreaming..." I can just picture Infinity rolling his eyes as he says, "It's about school. And the..." I mutter, aggravated, "Oh Zios! School, Finny, really? School..."

 "... And the phantoms. If you'll let me finish." More awake now, I say, "What? Okay, go on! I'm so interested..." I roll my eyes. Haha- boring! "You should be, idiot. The phantom outbreak, dude. The phantom outbreak!" Confused, I ask, "The phantom outbreak. What's that?" I hear Finny sigh into the phone and then answer my question.

"Oh yeah. You've been away from society too, since you're both in hospitals for some reasons. So anyways, the phantom outbreak. Huh, the only top story that's on the news throughout fox territory! Ever since the accident that happened at the field trip, more and more phantoms have been found in our territory. There's hundreds of them. No thousands. And we just saw phantoms for the first time this past year in school. And locked in cages. Well, not anymore. Haha nope. They're even roaming the streets now. And their goo, slime, whatever it is. So disgusting! Anyways, our school finally closed due to the phantom outbreak. Wanna know why?" I sigh, and say, "Let me think. It's because the other fox school, the one where I was from before, and all the other fox schools closed too. And... I don't know. It's seven in the morning."

"Ah, good point. It's actually 7:03 on my phone, but oh well. The phantom numbers are bigger than ever before! Seriously, you see them everywhere, dude. In the woods, in the town square, on the borders..." "In the showers.?" Finny pauses before saying, "What? No... Ugh, Duke! I'm trying my best to be serious!" I roll my eyes again. "Dude, chill out. Can't stand a joke? Geez! And you said 'everywhere', by the way. So..." I hear Infinity sigh. "They're becoming very dangerous for public buildings, so all the schools were forced to temporarily close. Or so I heard. And I think there's another reason why it's closed."

 I hear him take a deep breath, and say, "The other day, on the wolf territory border..." Alert, I ask, "Yeah, go on..." I hear him gulp this time before he continues. "There was a wolf walking by the border. On the wolf side, by the way. And then..." I give him a questioning look, but before I realize that he can't actually see me, he speaks again. "This weird-looking phantom pulled out an arrow. I swear, it looked like a crazy fox pretending to be a phantom. And... and it threw the arrow into the wolf's neck. Oh Zios, why was I there!? Now I'm gonna have nightmares for the rest of my days. So what if it was a wolf? It was still a pup, a kit. It was a baby. And it... died." Visions rush through my mind. Especially of what Twinkle told me when she saw a wolf pup trapped in a hole. I try to remain calm, but I can't. I get off the bed, and I pace back and forth in the room.

I take a deep breath. "Finny, please Finny, tell me the truth. Did that wolf pup that died have a tawny colored pelt?" After a few moments of silence, Finny answers. "Hmm... Hard to remember. I didn't like looking at him when he was practically dying. But I'm pretty sure he had a silvery gray pelt. Why?" I breathe a sigh of relief. So the wolf pup that Twinkle encountered on fox territory all that time ago is okay. At least I hope so. "Ah... no reason. Just curious. That's all." Suspicious, Finny asks, "You sure?" I just nod. Then, I hang up the phone. I then stare at the ceiling, as I lay down on the bed again.


TWINKLE

I'm so excited! The doctors and all the other medical staff that helped me heal and such, have told me great news. Tomorrow I can move out of the hospital. I don't have to stay here anymore! But what makes me the most happiest is this.:

I can finally go back home again! Home.

Twinkle's Story: Chapter 17

*Hi, readers. Guess what? There's no bloody violence in this chapter! So you don't have to worry about that. Yay! :)*
*Ugh! I haven't posted a new chapter in SOO long. I really want to make lots more chapters before school starts. Busy schedule. Ugh! >.<*
*Contains some*
 If you want to ship Duke and Twinkle (Y'know combine the 2 names, or whatever), it's 'Dukle'. Tehe. Meep. :3
*Well... Enjoy! ^.^*
*Sorry guys. There's no 'Duke's view' in this chapter. Don't worry. There'll be both views in the next chapter. Stay tuned! ^o^*

TWINKLE

A week has passed since that tragic day. The day when I went to heaven. The day when I supposedly died. I giggle to myself as I remember Duke's reaction when he saw me sitting in the hospital bed right after I exited the light, heaven. He was the first one to notice that I'm not dead. Honestly, the thought that I was dead before; my spirit, my soul being the only part of me still alive, terrifies me. It sends shivers down my spine. But what terrifies me even more is that Duke was the first one to notice me. Why didn't my parents? I remember what happened that day perfectly. But then again. How could I possibly ever forget it?:

All of their heads were down. It looked like they were mourning me. I guess Duke never lost hope; faith. I bet he could never believe that I was dead. I also heard aggravated muttering between sniffs of my father's voice. "Duke, will you quit it? Twinkle is now dead. Dead. Do you expect her to be revived, or something? Be real!" My parents then whispered to each other. Like it's the most urgent news they've heard in their lives. I just rolled my eyes, tired from smiling for a few minutes without anyone noticing that I'm not dead.

 And what Duke replied back was shocking news to me. "No, sir. I don't care if your her parents, her neighbors, or criminals for all I care. I don't care about who you are. 'Cause I'll never lose my faith in Twinkle- even if you two have lost that faith. You've let it go, but I'll never. I'll never, ever let go of that tiny glimpse of hope. Not even in a million, billion years. Because I know she's not dead. Because my entire life depends on me holding on to that tiny glimpse of hope. And even when I do actually die, I still won't ever let go of that tiny glimpse of hope. Not even when our world is in complete destruction. Because you know what? I'm the eternal flame that will never die out. I'll never let that tiny glimpse of hope die out, either. I am fire. And I could just as easily make you realize that." Duke then held his paws out a certain way, claws outstretched. Dark orange flames shot out from each tip of his claws. It looked completely dangerous. Like he could set the room on fire, if he wanted to. I cocked my head to the side as I sat there on the hospital bed. They still hadn't noticed me yet. But it's a strange type of danger. Like it's dangerous and protective at the same time. And as I stared at the tiny flames originating from Duke's claws, another thought came to me. Does this mean we also have powers? I haven't shot out any ice from my claws yet. Do I even get powers? What if only Duke does? What if mine's something totally different? Tons more 'what if' questions bubble in my head. Even today. As I stared into the tiny flames, seeing the embers, something else came to mind. The flames are dangerous, yet they are beautiful. And Duke is just the same. He then finally turned his head towards the hospital bed. He then walked closer to the hospital bed. Right in front of me.

I think I saw his face before he could even make sense of what was before him. Me. I giggle at the thought. His paws were leaning on his cheeks, his claws still shooting out fire. Duke must've been crying his heart out, or something because behind the fire was water. Water from his own tears. It looked epic, alright. I then raised a paw sheepishly, and waved. "Hi, Duke." I remember saying softly. I think I wanted to say something else, but Duke cut me off. Why did I suddenly sound all nervous and embarrassed? I lowered my waving paw again. The fire stopped shooting out of his claws. He rubbed his wet eyes, and then blinked a few times. He then stared intensely into my eyes. My lively eyes. It made me nervous for some unexplained reason, so I cleared my throat. Then Duke said, "Whoa... whoa. So I was right all along. Twinkle's not dead. Haha! And you thought I was wrong!" He looked at my parents, then back at me. For that brief moment when he wasn't looking at me, I felt like I lost something. I smiled, suddenly a bit shy. He continued talking to me. "Oh my Zios, I'm actually right! You are still living- somehow." Duke glances back towards my parents, then back at me again.  When I realized they weren't looking in this direction as well, I turned back to looking at Duke. He looked at my feet that were hanging off the side of the hospital bed where I was sitting all the way to the tips of my ears. I expected Duke to then apologize for that argument we had on the Tall Tower's roof all those weeks ago. But he didn't.

Instead, he lowered his voice. So much that I didn't think my parents could overhear him. And he spoke in a serious yet calm voice. "Twinkle.." I gave him a questioning look and asked, "Yeah?" He took a deep breath and said, "Twinkle, did you hear what I said to you before?" I asked, "What? When?" He continued, "A few minutes ago... Wait never mind. You were dead then. My bad." Confused, I said, "If you're referring to you never losing hope of me possibly being alive, which I am, then yes. And yes, Duke. I also saw the fire that shot out of your claws..." He interrupts me. "No. Not that. You did hear that, didn't you?" I nodded my head. "I'm talking about what I said before that. Anything?" I shook my head, not knowing what Duke was talking about. "Well, okay then. Long story short, I said that I'm sorry for everything I did to you that was bad," So he did apologize. But wait, there was more than one bad thing? Huh? ,"and... and.... Hey, remember what I said to you that first night we, uh.. started going out? To the umm... Tall Tower's roof? I told you, 'I don't care if you die tomorrow, as long as I love you today'. Well, I've realized something. All this time being separated from you has made me realize that I was wrong when I said that. So does the fact that you actually did die. Because I do care if you're gone, dead, basically anything. And I admit, I didn't really make you 'live your life'. Haha, spending nights on a tall building's roof sure is the life. Haha." He suddenly paused, like he was expecting me to say something. "What? Oh, right. Yeah, I remember. That night, even though it was raining, was amazing. Like magical, mystical rain." I giggled, a bit embarrassed. Duke smiled. "Ha. Look at that. I thought the same way."

 Duke softened his voice even more, so it's barely more than a whisper. He then moved even closer to where I was sitting on the hospital bed. We're then even more eye-level to each other. Duke still standing up; me still sitting down. I then saw a bright fire burning in his eyes, making his eyes an orange-brown color. Like the color amber, but more intense. An intense color- if that's even possible. Or maybe it was just the moment that made it intense. Duke whispered, "Twinkle, do you want to know the last thing I said to you before? That last sentence?" Silence followed. Duke broke the silence. "Well, do you?" The heat of the moment made me go silent. I stammered, a few awkward seconds later, "Umm... uh.... Sure. What... What did you say?" Duke didn't say a single word after that. Well, regarding my question.  I just blankly stared back at him. I gave him another questioning look. When I blinked open my eyes again, I noticed that he moved somewhere else. It didn't take long for me to realize where he went. I didn't even turn my head around at the sound of the voice. In my ear, I hear his voice. He then says the last sentence. "I love you...." I then felt something from my lower ear going slowly down to my jawbone. It didn't take long for me to realize what it was, either. Claws, still warm from the fire that shot out of them, heated the fur on my cheek even more. So it wasn't me just blushing that made my face feel warm. Then, something else on my cheek. I felt Duke's breath on my cheek as I heard him finish the sentence. ".... Twinkle."

So what else happened over this week? Well, a few doctors helped my body. Heal, or something. Whatever. The most important part was that afterwards, the doctors told me that my body isn't as fragile anymore. Like I don't have that 'higher chance of dying' anymore. From what Dr. Fox told me when I was in the other hospital. I bet it's just because I actually did die. Even if it was for under five minutes. And based on what I've seen in heaven, which means I'm dead if I'm there, and from what Duke said throughout the week, it sure did feel like it was way over five minutes. When I told Duke that he said, "Five minutes? Really? You sure, Twinkle?" I nodded my head, a small smile on my face. "Then you've got to be kidding me! I swear, it felt like you were dead for at least half an hour. Wow." I then agreed with him on that. And they also told me I'm not required to wear these clothes anymore. They still allow me to, which makes me feel relieved. I don't want to get rid of these yet. Not just yet.

And then there's yesterday. We were hanging out in the therapy room where Duke's been sleeping these past nights. I have no idea why he wants to sleep over at a strange hospital so badly, though. He doesn't have any mental issues in his head, last time I checked. I shrug. Maybe he's staying over because he can't stand going all the way to almost the other side of fox territory, and coming back here every day. Or maybe it's because he can't go back. Going back means going back home. Home, and now Sparkle's house, means Duke's mother. And if he wants to stay alive, he knows better than to go back. I conclude that it's probably that reason why he's staying here. In the therapy room, we were sitting in the chairs there.

Then, Duke put a paw in one of his pockets. He took out the same phone he used to call 9-1-1. He touched the screen of his phone; a bright light turned on. Before he could exit out of the screen, I read what it said on the screen. "New Message: Finny: K. Call me tomorrow? Or I could call you tomorrow? Cya." Duke sighed as he realized I read it. I give him a look. "Uh, Duke, who's this 'Finny' person?" He quickly swiped his paw across the screen before answering me. "No. Oh my gosh, no. Not like that. Finny is a friend of mine. And he won't stop spamming me." Duke looks at his phone again. Now it says in the same screen as before, "New Message: Finny: Oh ya. With Twinkle. Nice bro. ;)". Duke exits out of it, but it's too late. I already read that message, too. He keeps on pressing the "Lock/Unlock" button repeatedly. "Gah! You stupid phone! No service connection on Wednesday, and today you work!? Uh... I guess that's good. But now you start working again!? Really!? Oh come on!" I couldn't keep myself from laughing at Duke's frustration with his phone. I guess Duke thinks the sender of those messages can somehow hear him. Because he then complained, "Ugh! Stop being such a dumb phone! I don't want to call you, message you, or any other forms of communication, Finny. And you've got to reply about that when she's literally right next to me!? Dang it, Finny! Ugh!" I looked at Duke who was raging over his phone. "Umm... Duke... You okay there? Uh...." Duke blushed. "Uh... of course I am! Why wouldn't I be, Miss Twinkle?" I gave him a look again. "Stop calling me that. It's just Twinkle!" Duke sighed again. "Finny is his nickname. You know Infinity from the class with Miss Fox? Well, all his close friends call him Finny. And I'm one if them. He was the first one to welcome me to this part of fox territory, so.." I nodded. I remember Infinity. He's another more well-known guy in the class. But he's nice and cool- as well as a natural-born comedian. Just like my Dukey.

"So uh... Twinkle..." Duke stammered. I perked an ear up. "I'm at the screen that says "New Contacts". Oh Zios, why didn't I do this before? Ugh! So anyways, would you like to umm...." I finished his thoughts. "Share phone numbers? Yeah. I guess that would be quite useful. And yes. I do have a phone. I just don't use it much. 'Cause your like my first friend that isn't like related to me. I mean boyfriend. Uh..." Duke laughed. "It's okay. I understand. So what is it?" I then took my own phone out. We then exchanged phone numbers. Then, we smiled.

So what am I doing now? I'm finally relaxing from all the craziness these past days. I'm still in the hospital room; Duke in the therapy room. I hear something and I check my phone. I shield my eyes from the bright light of the screen. I read it and it says, "New Message: Duke: Good nite, Twinkle. Luv ya. To our world on fire!" I type up a new message that says, "Yep. To our world on fire!" Then, I touch the "Send" icon. I don't feel like adding this to the message as well, so I say it out loud. But only to myself though. "Love you too, Duke."

Precious Cutepuppy Drawing

Hai guys! So today I drew another one of my AJ animals on MS Paint. This time it's my main AJ wolf/main AJ animal. It's Precious Cutepuppy, or simply called Precious. It's the outfit I used in "Precious's Adventures" in Funny/Random Stuff. I guess I'll show it to you now, so..:

It's actually my drawing of Precious based on this picture.:

Just a different background, obviously. :3

So... What do you guys think? Do you think it's (at least) okay? (I know some parts are a bit off. This is my first time drawing an AJ-styled wolf..) And if you don't like my drawing, please be mature and calmly say, "It's not my favorite drawing." or something like that.  Or you could kindly tell me how to improve on my digital drawing skills, too. idk. Thank you! ^.^

And while we're on the topic of cute puppies, the Cute Pup of the Day is Tug the Labrador Retriever. Having fun in the grass there, cutie? ^w^ From: DailyPuppy.com (as always!) Hehe..

That's not yet! "Twinkle's Story: Chapter 17" will be posted soon.. Thanks for waiting.

See ya! :)

Here's a Post owo

Hi there! Welcome back to The Jamaa Mist! Or if this is your first time here, welcome to my blog! ^.^

The Cute Pup of the Day is Juneau the Alaskan Klee Kai. I'm pretty sure Juneau is also the name of Alaska's capital. And if not capital, then another major Alaskan city. I actually went on an Alaskan cruise ten years ago.. :P
 Wait, what am I saying? Anywho, I just couldn't ignore this Cute Pup of the Day because this one is one of the cutest pups. My opinion, of course. Maybe because this one is an actual puppy, while most of the other ones are young grownup dogs. To me, puppies are just a bit cuter. Just look at her face! Aww... (From: DailyPuppy.com)

Oh yeah. I had hibachi for lunch today. Hibachi is always exciting- well, to me it is. As well as delicious. ^o^

Okay, onto more blogging-type news now. So on yesterday's post, I got a question regarding when I'm going to make a commenting rules section. So to answer your question, I have already made a commenting rules section. It's to the right section of my blog, under my Blog Archives. It's called, "Comment Info". And I know it doesn't show up when you're viewing my blog from a mobile device, so if you're one of those kinds of people who views blogs from mobile devices, I'll just paste my current commenting rules here. So here it is. (I made it blue and in italics, so you can read it easier- I hope..):

Comment Info

Hi there! I see you want to comment. That's great! However, remember to follow these simple, basic rules.:
1. NO bullying anyone. You might mean it as a joke, but others might think it as something else.
2. NO inappropriate behavior. I do not tolerate any type of this behavior on my blog.
3. NO curse/swear words. It's okay with me if you accidentally type it, but please remember. Anyone can see this site, and I don't want little kids to learn curse words while on my blog. (It depends on how it's used.)
4. NO personal information. This includes address, name (especially last name), passwords, etc.
5. NO spam. Spam is just annoying, and I think it's pointless because I'll just delete it anyway.
6. NO stalking threats. This is a serious matter, and I want everybody to be safe while viewing this blog.

And if you're confused by what I mean by #3, I mean that it's usually okay with me if you accidentally/say once in a while, minor swear words. (I infer you guys know what those are..) It also depends on how you use those words. Like if you're using it against other viewers, or anything like that, I'll delete your comment. But if it's not, then I'll decide if I will keep your comment up or not. So it basically depends on what's in the comment. Hope that clears some stuff up! ^-^

So anyways, here are some people I found in Jamaa today who might be scammers. I don't have actual proof, so that's why I say 'might'. But what they say looks like typical scams to me. So yeah, here we go!:

And adding on to that topic of scamming now. I've read in some posts that Tacocat101 does, in fact, scam. So far, I've seen Naffy (from AJW) and Pink (from AJFJ/RATH) have posted about it, too. And I think this info should be spread. So yeah. Here's Naffy's post about that.: http://animaljamwhip.blogspot.com/2014/08/this-is-unacceptable.html#comment-form

And there's also a link to a video in her post. Here's the link to that video.: http://www.ksport.info/movies/J5UJX2j5k8U.play

So to sum that up, this Jammer:

(aka this Jammer- just switched accounts...:)

have bullied the maker of the video, as well as this Jammer.:

by saying she scams. However, she doesn't scam. So false information, I guess. And at one point in the video, you'll see Taco (aka Creepers) attempting to scam the maker of the video's founders hat. So yeah. Not good at all.. :T

And onto other news, here are today's and yesterday's new items! (Liza's was yesterday's; Cosmo's is today's.)

Despite the fact that it's a bit stalker-ish having pictures of the Alpha's faces hanging from your den walls, I think it goes along with the theme that's in the Beta Party. 'Cause in the party, there are many pictures of important Jamaasians hanging from those walls. Just look at the party to see for yourself! ^.^

So onto more news, all the games in the Sol Arcade are on sale. But I'm a bit curious. Usually when an item is on sale, it eventually becomes on clearance, right.? So what will happen to all the arcade games if that happens in this case too? Will AJHQ add new arcade games to the store, then? What do you guys think will happen?

And now I present to you, this. I have to say, it sure is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on AJ. Take a look!

They're all running in place at the same time. Freaky, if you ask me! O.o

And have you heard about the mysterious stone sword item? Well, if you haven't, then I give credit to CleverQueen (the first Jammer that has reported seeing Stone Swords, from what I've read so far) and someone else (sorry I forgot >.<) who found out that luvy23 has one. Or maybe Clever did both. Hmm...

In what I circled, is a Stone Sword. So that's what it looks like on animals- hyenas at least. But I bet this is another generated/ really, really, really rare item won in the Forgotten Desert (that eagle Adventure). But on a more positive note, Stone Swords look pretty awesome. Perfect for dressing up as a knight in Medieval Times. Jammers already said that.. Heh, heh. c:

And here are some weird yet funny Jammers!:

That username tho. LOL.

It's a nonmember blue eagle! Those are pretty rare to see.. ^o^

Oh wow, he put 'bacon' on trade. (It's what I circled..) And what makes this even more hilarious is there's another Jammer declaring that that's not bacon. Which it isn't- obviously there's no actual bacon item on AJ... yet. This is just pretty funny- to me, anyways. Hey, wanna trade me some bacon? XD

And this otter looks pretty adorable- yet tough. And that username (darkriversky) reminds me of the characters, River and Sky, from Gamer's current story on her blog. It's called, "Out in the World". It's pretty interesting! I recommend you reading that  too- if you haven't already. And it also reminds me of the Warrior Cats book called, "Dark River". ;)

And now to annoying Jammers (tsk, tsk)...

Excluding every other type of animal.. How rude! >:I

OMG. WHY!? Why do people still believe this stupid rumor? UGH! It does not (I repeat) NOT, work. You won't get endless diamonds or whatever if you turn all white and hop/dance on diamonds. The only way to get a free diamond is by using the code, "twelve" when you log in AJ. It gives you one, free diamond. And this so old! I remember doing this so many times last summer. I once did this for nearly 2 hours. Two stinking hours, man! And did I get any diamonds? Not a single one. So please, please, please don't do this. Except if you want to waste your time on AJ by just hopping on diamonds for no gosh darn reason. Even AJHQ said on their own blog in one of their posts, that you can't (and won't) get any diamonds this way. So no. Just no. Don't make yourself look like an idiot. Please. I bet the idiots that started this stupid 'hop for diamonds' rumor are scammers, bullies, hackers, or idiots. Or maybe it's all of the above. I have become to hate this rumor very, very much. Especially wasting so much time believing and doing this rumor last summer- so many times. Please, don't make yourself look like an idiot by doing this. Please.

Peace out, Jammers! (Heh, heh. It looks like Precious is about to eat that peace sign emote. :P) Well, bye!

Ranting with Fauna + Blog Updates

Hello, Jammers! The Cute Pup of the Day is cooling off in the water. Congratulations to Sugarhoney the Labrador Retriever. And such a sweet name, too! :P From= DailyPuppy.com

So, let's begin this actual post now- shall we.? I've ranted everything I could've possibly thought of on my extra account, and as Fauna. Good luck reading all of it! Hehe.. ^-^

Uh, so yeah guys... that's my rant. And sorry about all the typos. It's mainly because I couldn't fit in all the words I wanted to in one speech bubble. Ya. There are also other pretty nice otter updates (facts, info..). So you should check those out too- if you haven't already.

So onto other news...

I've updated my blog! Yippee! :3

So now I've added a "Followers" gadget. It would be SPECTACULAR (*o*) if you follow my blog. (By the way, thanks Gamer for being the very first follower. Congrats! ;D)

And I've also added music to my blog. So yeah... tunes... cool. Can you guys think of any connection, explanation why, or whatever, why I picked these songs? -thinking time guys! o3o- Eh, enough time. (XP) It's related to... something. Okay, I'll tell you now. It's a few songs I listen to on my iPod when thinking about my "Twinkle's Story". Don't some of the situations in my story go along with some of the song lyrics? (Example: "World on fire!") So yup! Heh, heh. I think about my story way too much! (Is this normal!? O.o)

Hopefully, the next post (or 2) will be story posts. Oh yeah, that reminds me. There won't be violence (as in bloody violence)- or what I have planned so far. {>:)} So instead for the next several chapters, it'll be more emotional than bloody violence. No, not as in sadness- the next sad scene I have is in chapters way later on. Eh, you'll see..

 Stay tuned! ^o^
