Anyone there?

Hi, MisterChunkybuddy here. Is there anyone reading this blog? And, are the authors there? Breathless? Feelers? Anyone there?
Can someone post, please, just to let everyone know we are alive?

Edited: Thanks everyone for all your comments! I want to leave this post on so Breathless can see  it, but as I know you all want new posts, here is the first part of a legend I am writing!

The Quest Part 1

It was a pleasant April morning in Jamaa. The sun shone over Crystal sands, were the alphas were having fun with some jammers.

Greely sat in a shadow, with his glass eye glinting with the sun, practising his magic, with a book opened next to him and some shapes made from a dark matter hoovering over him.

Sir Gilbert was practising his battle moves with Edmund, as both were really skilled warriors and were never too lazy to find a momengt to practise.

Graham chuckled up a tree while he saw the effects of his new prank. It consisted on some tubes in the smoothie machine, so when someone filled their cut with fruit and put it into the blender, the smoothie would sploosh all over the user.

Cosmo was chatting with some palm trees and planting sugarcane. Soon a cocoa tree joined the conversation, telling the koala alpha how happy he was about the sun.

Peck, the talented artist, had her easel setted up in front of the sea, and was giving color to a sketch of the palms, the fishes, the jammers splashing and the beautifull tropical birds who flew around .

Meanwhile, Harper happily paddled around with her mate Marco, an sometimes they dived into the sea to have a chat with the underwater alphas.

Otto and Ruby were planning the travel they ere going to go on, thinking about all the places that they wanted to visit.

Sophia was galloping around with some other races, running an obstacle course along the plants, and next to them, Cornelius relaxed in the water.

Amelia, with the help of LaSalle and some jammers, was building an incredible sandcastle with all sort of passages and bridges and towers.

The only alpha who seemed to be missing the fun was Liza. Cornelius noticed this, and asked Greely, who always seemed to somehow know everything: "So, what do you think Liza is up to? She came out of her hut in the Township and that was the last time I saw her today."

"She is in the Sky Mansion" was the wolves reply. By now everyone had stopped what they were doing and were hanging to each word of the conversation, wondering what was the panda doing visiting Mira.

"She seemed very worried" added Greely.

"Who, Mira or Liza?" asked a lion who was passing by.

"Both of them" answered Greely.

Actually, by know Mira and Liza weren´t the only ones who were worried. All the alphas and jammers knew  that as Mira was so wise, only something really terrible could worry her.

Everyone tryied to continue jamming, but the fun of the party had faded away, and the thoughts about Liza and Mira had supplanted the ones about the party.

This continued for about an hour, and then a bunny shouted: "Look!"

Everyone gazed at the sight of the heron flying down from the only cloud in the sky, which was no ordinary cloud but the base of the Sky Mansion, an incredible white house which had belonged to Mira´s defunct husband, Zios.

Mira landed and everyone saw that Lia was with her. Definetly, Greely was right, they both were looking very worried indeed.

"Well" Liza said. "I guess that Greely has told you about our meeting because he always knows more than he should."

Graham chuckled but Mira looked at him and he saw in her eyes that it certainly wasn´t time for laughs and jokes.

"Well, as I bet you are dying to know what the meeting was about, I suppose you should tell them, Mira." suggested Liza.

So Mira told them: "As you might know, th Sky mansion has a chamber of treasures. Those treausures are inmensly valueable, but thy are not precious gems and jewels and gold. They are magic and historic objects, and the future of Jamaa depends on some of them. And now one has been stolen by the phantoms. A very important one indeed."

To be continued!

Den Ideas

Hi, here is a post with some ideas for your den, some for members and some for non members. Lets start with non members.
Idea #1: Gecko Throne

For all gecko lovers out there, this is a perfect seat! This is how you make it, in case someone doesn´t figure out how:

So enjoy being the Gecko King/Queen!

Idea #2: Bed

Yes, lots of people make non member beds with pillows and sofas, but their beds have a big, big mistake: They don´t have legs. So, if you put that kind of bed in your den, your bed will be in contact with all the who-knows-what on the floor. (After all, do you ever wash your den´s floor? AJHQ should make a vacuum cleaner item) So, to prevent this, you need a bed with legs to keep your sleeping place clean and away from the dirty floor. This is how to make this bed:

So, have nice dreams! Good night!

Idea #3: Toilet

It is incredible what large amount of Jammers forget about a thing as basic as a toilet in their dens. AJHQ has  not made a toilet item yet, and anyway it would smell badly, so a dinner stool with a hole or something like that can be handy, but don´t put it just there, use some Shoji screens to prevent the horrible smell from getting into the rest of the den.

Idea#4: Cute pet.

Ever wanted a non member pet? A plushie is just perfect, I think foxes work best because of their cuteness and cat-likeness, but just put a bowl and any plushie can become a cute pet.

Idea#5: A den layout.

Here is a random non member den desighn that might be usefull for inspiration and that uses the ideas above:

Click for full size. Also, I know that I haven´t done most of the garden, but unfortunately I am a trully horrible garden desighner, and I am out of ideas. Maybe there is someone out there who wants to share garden ideas in a coment? :D                                                                                                          

Well, now for some member ideas:

Idea #6: Spa!

If you have a mushroom hut, a water park, or a fantasy castle, you can turn one of the places with water into a pawsome spa! Just put a TV for best enjoyment, an umbrella if its sunny, a floating table with some food (sledges make great ones) and a towel to get dry when you come out. Oh, and don´t forget the toy ducky :D

Idea #7: Monument!

I built this monument to wish good luck to Cosmo and the koalas who are exploring, but you can make one for any alpha. The Zios sculpture is optional, but if you have one, it is better to put it so Zios the Sky Father protects that alpha and animal type. for a Jamaasian then you can make one for every alpha!
Idea #8: Garden!

If you have a Bar Den and you are annoyed because the garden has no grass, then just fill the patio with clover patches and put plants, topiaries, torches, fountains, rainbows, trees and practically any garden-ey item!

So, I hoped you liked that and got some ideas, if you have an idea that you think is cool, comment with it or email a picture to misterchunkybuddy@gmail.com!

Have fun making your den epic!

How Lions came to Jamaa

Hiya! So its finally time for a new legend! Enjoy!

The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the lazy summer wind across the long blades of grass in the savannah. There was an oryx peacefully grazing, not knowing it was surrounded by a group of lions, gazing at it crouched behind the grass.Suddenly a young, strong and healthy female jumped across the air and landed skillfully near the oryx, who, alarmed, try to run away, but the lion took aim, and, with a perfect leap, killed it by biting it acurattely. 

The rest of them helped her carry it to their home, next to a few trees, protected by the precious african shadow. There, there was a male who sat there with great majesty, with his mane drifting with the breeze. He congratulated the hunters for getting such a good prey, and all of the pride came to eat it.

That was more or less how every day was in that pride.

So they kept living their lives, year after year. But one cloudy day of October, diasaster struck.

As añways, the lions were hunting. But all the animals that normally were their prey were hiding. The oryxes, the gazelles and the zebras in particular were the first to notice the phantoms.

In a moist, misty spot, some phantoms who had left their land near the mountains around Jamaa were trying to make their territory bigger, as their king had ordered them. The leader of the small group, a red phantom (all phantoms are black, but some shoot blue rays and some red; the red ones are more powerfull) had a    piece of paper suspended in front of him. Phantoms don´t have hands, they can only use their legs to help them shoot rays and to help them move to the air, but they have a lot of dark magic, so they levitate things instead of holding them. "So?" one of the blue phantoms asked. "What instructions has he given you?" The paper magically  unfolded and the red phantom read out: "Thanks, phantoms, for volunteering to take over this land. it is mabey a bit too hot for us, but as we are reproducing we need space. The phantoms from the other group of conquerers did extreamly well taking over that icy land with the hairy wolves, and I except the same of you. If you do well, you will be rewarded with a piece of land and I will probably ascend you all to a higher charge in our society. So do well. Sighned: King of the Phantoms."

The phantoms, excited and impaicent to be rewarded, flew over the land, a savannah similar to Appondale but much further away from Jamaa than it. The leader started giving instructions. "Okay, so to conquer a land you basically just have to make those animals run away. That will be easy with a little battle and a few spells."

After saying this, he shut his eye and started invocing a storm, the perfect conditions for phantoms because of the confusion that they cause and the great amount of electricity that is in the air. The sky went coal black and lightnings corrupted the sky, while all the animals, panicing, ran away to hide in the seccurity of their dens.

But the lions stood there. The male lions were worried becaue they aren´t very good hunters, but the group of females stood there, looking at the sky. The phantoms started shooting rays, but they were amazed of how easily the lions dodged them, hopping, crouching and rolling over.

One of the blue phantoms, the bravest, or maybe the craziest, dived across the air to fight closely, but one of the lions simply hoped, opened her mouth and with a crunch and a puff of smoke, the phantom was dead.

After seeing how talented these animals were at fighting, the phantoms went away. Then the pride got together for a chat.

"You must leave" a female said to the males. "No offence, but only we are strong enough to defeat those creatures. So, sorry if I sound mean, but you must leave this land and find somewere else to live, for your own seccurity." 

So the next day, the sad moment of saying goodbye came. The males went away on their journey, after making sure the females would look after the land.

After many moons, the group of male lions reached Jamaa. They found  peck, who was painting a picture of Sarepia forest. 

So, after a few talks with Mira and the other alphas, everyone decided that lions could live in Jamaa.

So that explains how lions came to Jamaa, and also why they arent female lions, although I think they might be a few disguiesed as tigers :D.
