Animal Jam Creepypasta - Spare

Warning - gore and some sexual content (no smut).
In which Ambrose the bunny has an interesting hobby.

A red designer skirt fell off the hanger by chance.

But oh, what a difference it made.

Ambrose had arrived in Jamaa Township a sweet red rosebud, true to her family pet name. She arrived with creamy white hair and a head full of fantasies. She arrived with a white pullover and a crimson flower crown, with petals as soft and innocent as herself. She arrived a Shiveerian. Unprepared for what awaited her.

In Jamaa Township, competition seeped through the cracks in the cobbles. It wound a ribbon around her waist, pulling it in tight and sucking her breath away. It teased the fantasies from her brain. It plucked the fresh petals from the roses tucked in her hair and painted them with weedkiller. As they shrivelled, her hair darkened into a chocolatey brown. Her snowy fur tanned. Her lips filled. It left Ambrose a delicate barbie.

It brought friends. It brought popularity. It didn't bring much happiness.

But every ribbon has to unwind.....

There it was. A skirt redder than a red, red rose. It was short. It was exciting. It was new. There they were - a red halter top, red lipstick, red shoes. There she was - lonely and young and ready. And his house was just down the street.

<> <> <>
Cin opened the door. His mouth fell open.

Ambrose was curvy, and her lips were full and pouted - redder than a rose. Mira. Her hair was wavy, bouncy, thick. Her dainty skin was pale. And that skirt was short.

"Hey, Cin." That luscious Shiveer accent rolled on golden breath towards the figure in the doorway.
"Well, hey, Rose!" He gave a false smile. "What to transfer today?"
"This." She held out a beautiful jewel encrusted box. "This is all."
"C-come in."

Ambrose swept past him, delighted. Who knew just a few centimetres off the skirt would stun such a stubborn rabbit? Cin turned to follow, still slightly shocked, but was instead pulled closer to those soft lips.
"Y'know, maybe I don't need to transfer that box."
"I don't think you do either."

They collided and suddenly Ambrose's life was perfect.

<> <> <>
She woke up feeling sick. Where was she?

A green bed. No canopy. Was that the masterpiece her brother had made in Year 5? Someone at her side. Someone warm, someone dark, someone who smelt like lemongrass.

It all came rushing back and she was up and out and in the kitchen and deep breaths. No. No. What came over her? What came over him? Oh Mira. Oh Mira. Cin was just her spare - no, he was one of her best friends. And she... and they...

"Calm down, Ambrose," she whispered to herself. But all she could think was not again. "You promised yourself to stay away from boys!" A tear slid down her cheek. "Why do you always mess it up?" He's not a friend anymore. He's just another spare, for Mira's sake. You have to purge yourself. Get rid of the venom from your body. Where is it? Where is it? There.

There it was.

The cutlery drawer.

<> <> <>

She made sure to slit his throat before he screamed.

"Cin, sugar....." she brushed her lips on his as a fountain of blood splashed down her front. Cin gasped, unable to breathe, to speak. "Good morning. Or should I say goodnight?" She ran the meat cleaver down his abdomen next - splitting his insides perfectly in two. Then, as he spluttered a foamy tide of blood, she sliced his arm off into chunks. His eyes rolled upwards before she finished sawing off the shoulder, but it was okay - the sooner he died, the better. Chop. Chop. Chop. The other arm. The torso. The legs. Finally, the head.

Ambrose planted a kiss on his forehead one last time before she sliced off his long ears.

In half an hour Cin's corpse was diced up. She took a binbag and filled it with his dismembered remains, along with the filthy sheets and her beautiful red skirt. There were some of her old clothes in the wardrobe, so she redressed herself, then wiped down every surface she'd touched in the house before running one of his hands all over the clean space. Was that it? Was she ready?

Her car was red, too. But she had to get in - carrying a huge binbag through the streets would be too suspicious. She sped to Sarepia Forest - her movements mechanical, just as they always were - slammed on the breaks and sprinted out to the cave. It was far away from any hotspots. And contained her acid tank.

Another one gone.

<> <> <>

"I love you very much, Rosy. Goodnight-"
"Um, mother? Wait a second."
"What is it, sweetpea?"
"I'm going to need a new-"
"A new what? A new house? We could get you another by the sea. More cars? What brand, honey? More clothes? Anything for you, my princess..."
"A new spare." Ambrose smiled. "I'm going to need a new spare."

She watched a black designer skirt slip off her bed and on to the floor.

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I wrote it in one sitting (my back is killing me). 

Ambrose is my OC from the Bunny Roleplay! 

Also, if you hadn't noticed, I sort of quit. Momentarily. But! I'm back now.

Animal Jam How To - THE ULTIMATE SEASONAL ADVENTURE GUIDE

Today I had a really bad cold, meaning I was not at school. So what did I do? I studied the new "Special Delivery" adventure, of course!

I tried three different methods a number of times, and these were the results.

METHOD NUMBER ONE - RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY

Obviously, I had to try this. I wanted to compare how long my usual method took with how long the other two methods took. This method was the only one where I quit out of frustration.

I was using an eagle to do the adventure because I'm soft like that, but HOLY MIRA! It's all perfectly fine until you've got the last batch of envelopes and you realise you have no clue where to look. This ends up with you spending three weeks hunched over your laptop, searching the entire map over and over again for that last mailbox.

WHY THIS METHOD IS GOOD: It's not.

WHY THIS METHOD IS BAD: Don't get me started! There's no system. It takes forever. It's confusing, too, and you're most likely to quit doing this method.

METHOD NUMBER TWO - WORKING IN

This method....worked quite well! I flew around the outside of the map twice, clicking all the mailboxes I could see (I went around twice in case I'd missed any). Then I flew in a bit and went around twice again. I went further and further into the centre until I had pretty much delivered everything!

WHY THIS METHOD IS GOOD: You're less likely to miss a box and it's very neat.

WHY THIS METHOD IS BAD: Flying around the outside once, twice, even three times.... can take a while. I actually reached the centre and and found I still had 5 letters left. So, of course, I flew around crazily! But I did manage to complete this one, which was good.

METHOD NUMBER THREE - THE ULTIMATE WINNER

It took me about twenty minutes to finish the adventure.

I went across in lines, searching each line carefully before moving up. It looked like this:

By the end of the adventure, when I reached the edge of the map, I had completed the entire thing, not missing one box. 

I did this five times and I never missed one!

WHY THIS METHOD IS GOOD: Lots of accuracy, it's easy, it's actually really quick and it gets the job done.

WHY THIS METHOD IS BAD: I can't find a reason.

---

Need some gems? Want some items? Looking for some rares? Seasonal adventures are the answer! You don't have to complete them, although that gets the best prizes. Take the current clover on for example. Grab the ten closest clovers, get the key, two instant items! They're also great boredom busters, so if you don't usually play adventures, you really should do these!

I'm so sorry for my inactivity. I may quit this blog as I have so much work to do. Nobody really reads it, anyway.

Cool Ideas - Things That Should Be Added To Animal Jam!

I think about this stuff a lot. I dream that some of these things will happen. Some things would be really helpful and great. Some things I just think would be cool! Do you agree? Tell me in the comments, don't be shy!

Items-

• (most important first)  A NEW NON MEMBER DEN. NEW NONMEMBER DEN. NEW NONMEMBER DEN!
• A kitchen set. It would be awesome for family dens! I'd like it to include a new fridge, oven, table, chair (that has a flipped version like the Salon Chair), sink, counter and some wall items, like pots and pans. This would be so cool! Especially if some of the items, like the stove, oven and table, were non-member. I imagine it would look similar to the Vintage Kitchen set on Play Wild, which is awesome.
• A living room set. A new sofa, coffee table, television, houseplant and rug. It could be called something like the 'Modern Living Room' set. I love this idea. It would be so fun to make a house with these items.
• I would LOVE for AJHQ to add Floor-to-Ceiling windows! It would actually be so cool and would go so well with the Modern Living Room set. When you click the change colour option, it comes up with different scenes outside like a night sky, a city at night, a tropical island, a snowy mountain sunset, and so on. That would be my favourite item in the game. Or any game. Ever. Oh, and.... NONMEMBER NONMEMBER NONMEMBER PLEASE!
• I have THREE new den ideas. Here's the first one: Some kind of Warrior Cats Roleplay den! A camp area with a fireplace that looks like a clearing in a forest, a room for every cat den like the Warrior's den and the Elder's den, a circle of rocks for a fresh kill pile. As AJHQ are so good at making the huge dens with enormous gardens, they could make this one a forest. A player could then add plushie machines between the trees for the clan members to 'catch prey'. It would probably be in the diamond shop because of its size, which is disappointing, but I suppose it AJHQ's choice and it seems like the one they would make. That's not an insult... where am I going with this?
• A modern den. Fine! Slap me and fine me! But I think it would be awesome for making a huge family den, if you were to have a 'rich family' roleplay. Not only that! Big rooms that lead into others, a gorgeous glass balcony, a room with glass walls, a small swimming pool.... Set at sunset for a softer mood and glow, palm trees at the entrance... Think about how freakin' awesome that could be. Cough cough, floor to ceiling windows, cough cough.... And think about it. This den, like something the stepped out of Grand Designs and into Animal Jam, would probably convince a few people to buy membership to get it! I also think it would be good because it's not to girly or too boyish. All in all, I would certainly buy this den and would literally recycle a headdress to get it. 
• A NEW NONMEMBER DEN, NEW NONMEMBER DEN! I'm not really looking for luxury and new features here. Just a bigger den, with two floors, maybe a balcony and a nice-sized garden. Trees, a river, at LEAST three rooms. Maybe something rustic, maybe something modern, who knows? But imagine how happy some nonmembers would be to get this den! A den available to everybody, even people who don't have enough money to buy themselves a membership! Wow, this would be so cool. Maybe AJHQ don't even have to design a whole new den! What if they just made another den nonmember, like the mushroom hut and the waterslide den or another den nobody really uses? That would be amazing. Just amazing....
• RECOLOURED HEADDRESSES. AJHQ did it with headfeathers, they did it with spikes, they did it with skullies... are you forgetting someone? It would be awesome to have some recoloured headdresses, because they're just such pretty items, especially on foxes! How about colours like yellow, aqua, light green, black, tan and grey? 
• I WANT A FLUFFY PILLOW AND I WANT IT NOW. Okay, let's take it down a level! Some new pillows to put on sofas would be great. Patterned ones, plain ones, fluffy ones... I was also going to suggest faux animal rugs, but's that's just too extreme.

I'll probably be adding to this a lot but this is it FOR NOW!

Features-

• Extended sorting option. You select an option that says 'non member' and you can choose from all your non-member items. This would make trading with non-members a lot easier!
• Save Outfit option. Play Wild has this feature and it's SO USEFUL! I love it! I just wish you could save items on normal AJ, too...
• Over 1,000 den slots. We have this feature on Play Wild and it's a lifesaver. It's getting really annoying having no den space left, and I'm sure it can't be that hard to add in. I've got no more items that I want to recycle or transfer, so this is getting urgent for me.....
• Okay, this one's really stupid, but here it goes..... Day and night. Yes, yes, snicker away. It's never going to happen as it's too hard to code, so babyish, too big a change.... blah blah blah. Okay, fine. Maybe, instead, we could have a day and night cycle in dens. Optional, just in case, and you can pause it if you like a sunset or night or something. It wouldn't be too slow, and each would last about 2-10 minutes, a bit like MineCraft. It would be good if you could speed it up or slow it down, but I wouldn't want to ask too much. Just a day and night cycle option in some dens would be totally fine for me!
• Everybody asks this! But it would be cool if we could have.... more variety when choosing animal colours. Yes, a colour wheel option. That would be... awesome. How many times have I typed the word 'awesome'? 

Once again, I'll be adding to this list!

What would you like to add to Animal Jam? I know nobody reads this blog, but just one comment would MAKE MY YEAR. Thanks for reading, goodbye!

Animal Jam - MAGENTA EYES??

So, today, I was trying to fix my cringy old looks. I was racing through them rapidly. I got to the goat and tried to click the dark brown eye, but I clicked the very corner. I now have magenta eyes.

OKAY, EVERYBODY. I KNOW.

"But Moonbeam, it's easy to get magenta eyes. You just click the magenta colour!"

Nope, it's different! Look at this:

GLITCHED magenta eyes.

Non-glitched magenta eyes.












Do you see the difference?

Animal Jam: Story Starters #1

Hey biscuits!

I love to write stories. And, seeing as this blog is focused on creativity..... Here are some story starters!

1) Thriller

What happens when you recycle an animal? You are an animal and you have been recycled. Is it time for revenge, or is there an afterlife?

2) Mystery

Somebody has created a very interesting masterpiece that somehow beat all the filters.... what does it contain?

3) Tragedy

Write about the very first Jammer, who is still playing today. How old are they now? What have they seen? Any lost buddies? What do they miss?

4) Comedy

What would the diary of an item look like? (oh my mira i am so doing this)

5) Romance

What's it like to be in a relationship with an Alpha? Are you a celebrity, or are you attacked in the street?

6) Romance #2

What if... you fell in love with a phantom?

7) Action

You're a butt-kicking phantom slayer. That's all I'm going to say,

8) Horror

Write the diary of the Lost Jammer, Fman122 or Wretchedjungle (etc). Today is the day of your revenge on Jamaa.....

9) Mystery #2

You're a famous Jammer from your blog/channel/life/etc. But your life isn't all glitz and glam. You have a dark secret....

10) Mystery #3

You are the Animal Jam Detective. Today, you have to solve a special mystery. However, your best buddy is strangely apprehensive and wants you to leave the mystery alone. What do you do?

Den Furniture DIY #3: NON MEMBER STORE BOUGHT BED!

Finally! A non member DIY!

This easy bed is almost completely storebought and very easy to make. I actually love the design so much I might use it on my member account as well! It looks so great and I can't wait to share it with you guys!

STEP ONE- ITEMS YOU'LL NEED

From Jam Mart Furniture, you'll need to buy....

• 3 Striped Couches (colour of your choice)
• Two Pixellated Fences (preferably black)
• Two Fantasy Banners (matching the couches)
• One Cafe light (colour of your choice)
• Two Fall Shrubs (colour that goes well with couches and banners)

If you have two of these from the Easter themed adventure,

• Swirling Hedge

Then add that in instead of the Fall Shrubs. If you don't have/like/want either of these, you can use different bushes or plants instead.

STEP TWO- THE MATTRESS

This bed is very similar to my member bed, but it's available to all Jammers. That's why I love it even more!












STEP THREE- BANNERS AND LIGHTS

 Add in the Fantasy Banners and Cafe Light. As you can see, I've chosen a green theme.

















STEP FOUR- FENCE AND HEDGES

Add the fence, behind the couches, and the two hedges at the foot of the bed. Almost done now! Remember, if you want to use a different plant, then do!















STEP FIVE- FINISHING TOUCHES

Lastly, add another fence between the hedges, and there you have it. 

STEP SIX- ENJOY!

Now all Jammers can enjoy a good night's rest on this simple, fun and easy bed!

Happy Jamming, everybody, and not just members!

Den Furniture DIY #2: BETA-FREE HOT TUB!

Den Furniture DIYs are easy and simple den ideas that don't require an inventory of betas to create.

Yup, a freaking hot tub. That's all I can say.

I was on a little design spree, watching some Animal Jam videos, when I realised something. These bathrooms are all very well and good, but they don't have a BATH! I set to work designing a bath, and soon enough, I decided it was a hot tub. Now you can make your own.

One small problem- the original design includes a seasonal item that you may not have. DON'T WORRY! It's not necessary to the hot tub. If you do have the item, that's great!

STEP ONE- ITEMS YOU'LL NEED

From Jam Mart Furniture, you need to buy:

• One White Pig Pool

From Treetop Gardens (the best shop) you need:

• Six Bamboo Plants

If you have this item:

• Patch of Fog

Then add that in as well. I've added six to my design, but you can use as many or little as you like.

STEP TWO: THE POOL

Place the Pig Pool on the floor. Make sure it has space around it!

STEP THREE: THE BAMBOO

That was really hard to get a picture of.

Place the bamboo in a circle around the pool. You can add more than six, depending on how many gems you have.

STEP FOUR: THE STEAM (OPTIONAL)

Add in the fog, if you have it!










STEP FIVE: ADD AND ENJOY

Enjoy your hot tub! Chill out on your own, chill out with your buddies, heck, invite Julian2 over for a pool party!









ALSO.....

The Patch of Fog is currently available at the Spooky Party!! It's in the basement, where the den items are. Buy as many as you want/can. They could become really rare items in the future!

Happy Jamming!

Moonbeam99 Talks- Roleplay

Hello, little biscuits! :D

Welcome to Moonbeam99 Talks, where I express my opinions about Animal Jam and real life alike!

Before I get into this, I'd like to talk quickly about the Killer Clowns. They are in my area, sadly. I am very scared, but I know that they won't hurt me and I can call the police if I see one. If any of you want to talk about the clowns, whizz me a JAG or a comment here (you can even private message my Wattpad: @cloudstar-sweg!) Thanks!

Well, let's talk about roleplay. I'm sure you've all seen Clans roleplaying in Sarepia Forest. I'm sure you've seen a video by King Bean or WisteriaMOON mocking them for their seriousness. We all know the Clanners of Animal Jam. They even have a Wiki!

Why do people roleplay? Because they like it. They like pretending to hunt. It's fun to play a game... inside a game. Personally, I can't keep a straight face when I try to roleplay, but I don't like it when people tease them or ruin their game. That's not 'funny', that's selfishness.

The Pillow Room. Oh, the Pillow Room. Jammers have been fighting over that one for longer than I've been on the game (and that's a long time). Mainly because it's a huge source of roleplay, but where Sarepia is occasionally empty, you will ALWAYS find somebody in there. "Adopt me!" "Needs mum!" "Wants family!" Family roleplayers. I think that's perfectly fine! It's only roleplay after all. But THIS is when it goes wrong.

"Adopt me! Is a beautiful little girl with fire powers!"

"Adopt me! Members only!"

Firstly, look. If you want to have fire powers and burn down my den, that's fine, I won't adopt you.

Secondly. Members only? What the heck? What difference will that make? A slightly bigger den? A shiny tag? WHY CAN'T NON MEMBERS ADOPT YOU TOO? It's just another barrier you're setting up, another disadvantage to non members. Since when do you own the Pillow Room? If you want to get adopted at all, DON'T. SAY. PEOPLE. CAN'T. ADOPT YOU!

Okay, glad I got that off my chest.

Have a lovely day, biscuits! More posts coming soon!

Masterpieces Made Easy

Creepypasta #1- Update Day

~Update Day~

Most kids hate Thursdays. They're like a taunt, a sneer, a trick, so close to the weekend, yet so far away! Many of Diana's classmates saw no point in them and wished the God of Time would snap his fingers and remove the damned twenty-four hours. Not Diana. Thursdays were better than any other days, apart from the weekend.

Which is why she spent the whole day of school grinding her teeth, staring out the window and wishing wildly to be reunited with her beloved laptop, and, of course, Animal Jam.

"Your homework is due next Tuesday. I advise you to get started tonight. Right, get out my classroom, I need a coffee!" The teacher fell back onto her chair, groaning and massaging her temples. Diana's head jerked up and she sprung from her seat, just like the rest of the class. Finally! She grinned ecstatically at her best friend, Maya, who gave her a thumbs up across the room. Swinging her bag on to her shoulder, she joined the flock squeezing through the door. Her head was pounding and a wild smile still growing on her face. "Oh my Mira, I'm so excited!" Maya squealed as she reached Diana. The two managed to push through the doorframe and into the jostling corridor. "We have to get home, like, NOW!"
"You guys are crazy." Their other friend, Bess frowned over her shoulder.
"SHH, you just don't know!"
"Some freaking update? Whoopdedoo. I'm overjoyed. Crud! My bus!" Bess dashed off and was swallowed by the crowd. But Diana could barely see through a screen of excitement. A new animal was going to be added to Animal Jam today!

Diana opened the front door with a clatter. "I'm home!" she called, testing. The house was empty. Even better! Quickly as possible, she pilfered some snacks from the cupboard and grabbed a few blankets. She hung them from the frame of her bunkbed. The perfect den, she thought to herself. She opened all the snack packets so nobody would hear crackling later, threw her laptop into the cosy cave and nestled in between the pillows. It took a while to get the perfect position. She slowly, carefully, lifted the laptop lid and entered a new world.

In this world, she was not Diana the Ordinary, who had shoulder-length black hair, grey eyes and bitten nails. In this world, she was BlackCrown22, the beta player, the amazingly rare, the dark green arctic wolf and eyes anything but grey. Adrenaline surged as she popped a biscuit in her mouth and typed her login. The summer carnival themed loading screen seemed to last a million years, as Diana hoped and dreamed and pleaded.....

The Jamaa Journal popped up on Diana's screen. Music thumped through her earbuds and sweetness exploded in her mouth. "Sloths are here," she read aloud, "YES!" She heard the front door close under the music. Oh no, mum's home! She pulled out her earbuds. "Sweetie, are you okay?" shouted her dad from downstairs. Relief flooded Diana. "I'm fine, just a bit excited. If I scream, don't worry or come up, I'll be completely fine, okay?" she yelled back.
"That's good, I was worried. Did you take a snack from the cupboard? Don't worry, I won't tell your mum! I'm going to do some work so I'll be in headphones. Come down if you need me!"
"You're the best, dad! Thanks!" Diana grinned, squeezing the earbuds back in place. Time to have fun!

Diana went over every last detail of the Jamaa Journal. From hummingbirds to the jamaaliday party to the princess outfit, she pored over every single word. Every page sang with colour, and when she finally exited the news, the chatrooms burst with fun and light. Shielding her eyes, so as not to spoil the surprise, Diana clicked to Map. The Diamond Shop, that's where she'd head. The sloth looked simply adorable, and she needed one RIGHT NOW. Of course, she had ten diamonds saved up for the special update day. Hardly looking at the animal, she clicked 'BUY' and chose the name Magical Thesloth. As her arctic wolf faded away in the green swirls of light, Diana kissed the screen of the laptop. But something was going wrong. The sloth was not appearing.

Green light continued to swirl around where her arctic wolf had been, but nothing happened. Concerned, Diana grabbed her iPhone 5 and tapped Instagram. Nobody was talking about the update. That's..... strange. She looked up and jumped a bit. A misty grey figure was forming in the light. Aware the sweat was beginning to stick to her clothes, Diana emerged from the blanket fort, pulling the laptop with her. It was definitely getting clearer. Two piercing lights.... those must be the eyes. Yes, she could see feet, with claws. A smile, wide and toothy, was also fading in. "Wh-wh..." Diana spluttered. She rubbed her eyes... The mist stayed. It was beginning to cloud her vision. Straining her eyes, she could see the mouth had become completely clear. It was smiling at her with piercing teeth... and dribbling blood. Which was the moment Diana's hand began to bleed.

Warm, crimson blood made her fingers slippery as they slid across the keyboard tiles. She screamed, but it was useless, because nobody would hear. The peaceful music of the Diamond shop was speeding up. Through the translucent grey, Diana could make out the sinister mouth, with glinting teeth. It was moving. A silent laugh. The Diamond Shop was darkening, glitching about and flickering in different colours as Diana's hand bled itself white, all over her keyboard. She jerked her fingers back suddenly, the keys were moving. The music was stuck on a four second loop, pitching up and down, speeding up until it was nothing but a squeak. Diana's vision was dimming even more, but she could see letters on the screen. It was in the classic speech bubble of Animal Jam, coming from the sloth's mouth. 'hahAhahAhhHaahaAha' it read. Sobbing and wailing, Diana watching through a grey haze as the Diamond Shops floor became realistic. The floor was bloodstained, the statue was of a headless wolf and she was sure the tables never used to display nooses, chainsaws and clevers.....

Didn't I mention? Diana was ten.

'i'm hUngry' the demon on her screen spoke, but it was a voice in her earbuds instead of a speech bubble. 'let me eAt!' The music was slowing down, but now it sounded like a twisted version of the carnival music. And then, it was chewing up her arm. Bleeding, blind and dying, Diana begged for mercy, begged for relief, begged for..... death. One last round of searing pain hit her body and she was sure this was the end. 'hey.. cAn i cOme ouT and play?' the demon cackled. There was a final flash of white, and Diana was gone.

Diana woke with her cheek pressed on to a cold, tiled floor. Her eyelashes unstuck and she forced her eyelids open. The floor was grey-blue, freezing and........familiar. She stood up shakily and screamed. In front of her were tables containing gloves, portals and tiny claw machines, a model of a cheetah wearing armour, and a huge stone statue of an arctic wolf.

She laughed to herself. It looked so real! Gave her a shock there, for a second. Nothing to worry about, right? Diana rotated on the spot, taking in the diamond trees, gem and diamond swapping station, and the monsterous face peering at her through miniscule eyes. Yes, yes, that was normal. Just your average day in Animal Jam. She was trapped inside Animal Jam, at the command of a disgusting creature who was sitting on her bed, eating her snacks and stroking her bloodstained keyboard, thinking what to say.

"I am Black Crown 22." Diana stared, surprised. She could hear everything the demon sloth was saying to her through the screen, like it was a window. "The real Black Crown 22. And you are at my command." The beast thumped his claw on the right arrow key. MOVE! She stumbled forwards numbly, outside the Diamond Shop. Her eyes squinted at the amazing brightness of the sun. Animals were everywhere! "Go and observe your little friends, huh?" Diana moved unwillingly towards the first arctic wolf and screamed when she saw it. Puppet strings were bound around its legs, body, neck, tail and head. It was forced into an ugly smile. "Are you o-okay?" Diana stuttered. The wolf jerked its head round. "What do you want?" It sneered in a robotic voice.
"I don't want any trouble, just asking if you're okay!"
"I'm fine! Ugh! What's wrong with you? I was just sitting here!"
Diana's heart burned and her stomach hurt. "Why are there puppet strings on you?"
"EEW! I don't wanna roleplay, you gross noob!"
"No, I don't mean it like that!"
"Get out my way!"
The arctic wolf turned away, but before it is, Diana caught the sadness and sorry in the animal's eyes. Oh my gosh, she thought, they're slaves!

"Yes, they are!" Black Crown 22 grinned malevolently. "And now... you are too."

Puppet strings wrapped around her limbs, but she was already changing, as was the creature controlling her. She became small, hunched and furry. Ugly. And the sloth now had pale, pale skin and black hair and grey eyes, which she used to find so dull and would now give anything for. She saw her reflection in the glinting store sign. Her new eyes were white circles with no life. Diana was not Diana, and neither was the beast who had taken her form. Diana was dead.

Black Crown 22 grinned her gruesome smile, her pink little lips stretched out to reveal pearly little fangs. "I'm going to live your life normally. I will not change your lifestyle. You will be the same and onlookers will not be able to tell the difference."
"Please, stop! Please give me my body back!" Diana begged.
"I will only do this," the sloth-demon continued, "If you be a good little puppet, and do as I say."
"I will, I will." Diana whispered, sinking to her knees. "Look after my body. Please!"
"Let's shake on it." Black Crown outstretched her hand, and so did sloth-Diana. Her paw was inches away from the screen, ready to grasp her sticky little child's fingers in her talons, and to pull herself out of this nightmare. She tried to smile, but she was an animated sloth, not a human child, and things were going to be different.
"I promise to be good."
"I promise to be good."
She was going to pull herself out. It would all be fine.

But her claws just bounced off the hard, glassy computer screen.

"You can't trick me, you ugly beast. Since you won't keep your promise, I won't keep mine."

"No!" Diana gasped. "Please, no! I'll be good!"
"Lie once, lie again. How can I trust you? Now, now... who shall I kill first?"
"NOOO!" Diana screamed in agony. "I swear, I swear...."
"I almost forgot," the still grinning Black Crown winked at her puppet, "Time to log out."

She never logged back in.

~~~
Black Crown killed every single member of her victim's family with one superb supernatural swipe. Just like that, and they were all cut in two. Mother, father, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, everyone. And then she moved on to the town. In less than a day, every single person was dead. The government has covered it up, but it keeps happening. Every time a new animal is added to Animal Jam, a player is taken. AJHQ don't know, of course, as it's all covered up, and not even the ones covering the secret know the innocent children's game is the cause. So how do I know? You'll see.

Almost any jammer can be taken. Famous, unknown, member, non-member, rich, poor, anybody. There's only one condition- they've all done at least one bad thing to another jammer. That's a lot of people to choose from! Hah. So you be careful.

Oh, wait. You want to know what Diana did? She hacked Maya, the one at the start of the story. Took everything, then tried to help Maya solve the mystery. Is she sorry? You can decide that one. Me, I don't think she is.

That's not it? I thought that's what you wanted to know! Ohh, you want to find out how I know about the whole scandal. I thought you'd worked that one out by now.

I am Black Crown 22. And some time soon, somebody big is going to go. Just you wait and see...

Den Furniture DIY #1: SUPER EASY, STORE-BOUGHT, MODERN BED!

Den Furniture DIY #1: SUPER EASY, STORE-BOUGHT, MODERN BED!

This is the most amazing modern bed I've ever come across. I put together this one after getting some ideas from denhopping, which is a great way to find good furniture. It is my own design, however. You may use it, but if somebody asks if you designed it, please do say who you got it from... I wouldn't like my hard work to be stolen, as this did take a while. Now, the tutorial!

STEP 1- ITEMS YOU'LL NEED

From Jam Mart Furniture, you'll need these items. They can be in any colour!

• Two pixelated chairs
• Three striped couches
• One café lamp
• Two café tables

From Treetop Gardens (the shop in Sarepia) you'll need these items.

• Two Chinese evergreen plants.

That's it!

If you want some non-storebought items, you can add-

• Beta television
• Leopard print rug
• Fairy lights

But these are totally optional.

STEP 2- THE FRAME OF THE BED

Get the two pixelated chairs. Put them together against a wall.

STEP 3- THE MATTRESS

Add the three striped couches. It's important that they're vertical!

STEP 4- THE TABLE

Here's where the design starts looking very modern. Add the two café tables over the top of the end of the 'mattress'. You might want to push them together to make them smaller.

STEP 5- DECORATE!

By the sides of the headboard, add the two Chinese evergreen plants. Above, put the café light and click to turn it on. And there you have it- a super modern, super creative, super awesome bed!

STEP 6 (OPTIONAL)- ADD

You can add your own ideas to personalise this design. Or you can completely move it around! You could change colours, change the plants, change the headboard, change the 'mattress', you can do anything.

Here, I've added a Leopard Print Rug from the Snow Leopard Gift card and some blue Ornamental lights from the Summer Carnival (I think?). You can add any other furniture or just keep it the same! It's up to you.

STEP 7- SHARE

Sleepovers, roleplay, or just a homely den, you can now do what you like with this bed!

An Awesome Sleepover!

Playing Would You Rather!

Welcome to the Animal Jam Painted Stars Project!

Welcome to the Painted Stars Project- Fun Things And Activities To Do In Animal Jam!

Greetings, I'm Binchild, Moonbeam99 on AJ. This is, well, my blog, because it's been my dream since I started reading Snowyclaw's one. So, yesterday.

My blog is an attempt to influence a more creative and friendly community in Animal Jam. When I hear the word 'attempt', I think of someone throwing themselves at a wall, clawing at it desperately, limbs flailing, face scrunched up as they try - attempt - to climb it, before sliding back down. I don't want to slide back down. I want to keep calmly, quietly climbing. I don't really mind if I get a few scratches, or my clothing slips, or I hurt my foot from an awkward landing. Maybe my attempt will be worth it.

I'm so, so happy you're reading this. It means you found your way to my little blog, and you haven't clicked away or got distracted or got bored or something. If you can, I'd love if you'd leave a little comment down below. I'll be overjoyed!

What I'm really trying to do here, though, is paint a picture. I'm painting a picture of creativity, passing from Jammer to Jammer. A picture of kindness, compliments and friendship. A picture of friends, doing what they please. You know what that sounds like? Three quarters of Animal Jam. Those three quarters are simply amazing, incredible, unbelievable! But the last quarter. The picture of that is fighting. Claws against claws, hatred and cheating and scamming rolling through the town in a thick mist, clouding wrong and right. If you venture here, you may find scars in your fur.

There are many scars in my fur. No, I'm not a scammer! I'm not mean or a bully. But the bullies have done things to me. We have symmetrical scars. There's a few on my heart, one especially long and jagged one. I'll explain it later. The scars range from deep to shallow to short to huge. If only somebody had given me some medicine, maybe my fur would be clear. Next time you see someone with a scar, help them!

To focus on creativity and fun, I'll be posting things like DIYs, One-shots, Creepypasta, Roleplay ideas, fashion tips, Animal Jam Guides, challenges and much more. Feel free to do any! You can jump right in from a random page, or start in order. I don't mind! But I hope we can be friends, and you get lots of lovely ideas from my blog. 

I hope you will enjoy some of my posts. I can assure you I won't bite. Although most animals usually do. So don't try stroking them. But I guess you can read their blogs if you like. Where am I going? Oh yeah. The opposite way. Bye then.

Heal the scars. Paint the stars.
