Animal Jam: Detective

Note: After reading this story, be sure to add a character of your own into the comments!

This morning, a new animal jam update came out. Apparently, AJHQ was realizing that older people, teenagers, were actually playing animal jam. So they made a new version for the ones that wanted to challenge themselves. Now, I know you have a lot of questions. Who am I? What is the new version about? Is there any way I can play it? I am a user on animal jam, an Arctic Wolf. I know, it's cliche, but the truth is, I love arctic wolves. They're good looking, they're "rare" (by that I mean members only and diamond), and I don't know a single item they can wear without still looking pretty or cool (besides the ridiculous ones). There is no way you can currently play this new version, as I am writing this story from a separate dimension. I shouldn't have said that, now you guys have even more questions. Well, just try to ignore that fact, it's not important. The new version is called, "Detective."

And I'm going to tell you how I played it.

There was a new link to the game: www.animaljam.com/detective/game/play. I loaded up the screen to find a gloomy looking picture of a dark hallway. It looked a bit like my school, except it was a lot more gray and sad-looking. I looked around and saw one of my friends: Queen Spiritmoon the wolf. "Hey Queen," I typed in, and she replied. "We don't call each other by our names here." I was surprised at her non-enthusiastic response. "Why not?" "It's the rules. Only one type of animal at a time is allowed in a separate room at a time. There are separate rooms, or servers. We call each other by our... animal names." "So I'm arctic wolf?" "Yeah, and I'm just wolf." Alright then. I looked around at the place before seeing a bunch of animals rapidly spawn in front of me. I saw a fox, a deer, and a bunny. Wait a second... the fox was my friend! "Hi fox!" I said. "Fox?" she gave me a confused look. "We call each other by our animal's scientific name," I explained. "Yeah idiot, it's in the pamphlet." I looked towards the area the voice had come from and saw a llama holding a piece of paper. "Whatchu staring at, punk," he said, glaring at me and showing his teeth. I noticed that they were stained yellow. "Sorry to ask, but how to you get this pamphlet?" I felt strange asking someone who had insulted my friend. "Press P," he replied. I did as he said and got a picture of a piece of paper covering my screen. It read:

Detective!

Detective is a game where every day, there is a chosen murderer. The murderer will have to "kill" another animal by the end of the day, or else they are out! If you get killed, the page will reload and you can watch your friends playing, so don't worry about missing out! Kill other players by pressing K. To commit suicide (to quit), press space. Don't worry, you can still chat, but be careful!

I was worried by the sheer amount of violence in this "game."

At the beginning, there is a chosen detective! After the kill, animals will gather together and practice their persuasion skills by writing a letter to the detective on who you think is the murderer and 3 reasons why! If someone correctly guesses the murderer and provides a good argument, the murderer is out! If the detective guesses wrong, they are out and a new detective is chosen!

Rules: 2. Once you start playing, you can't stop until the day is over!
 * 1) No teaming up. This makes it unfair for other players who currently don't have any friends playing.

I tried to close my browser window, only to find I couldn't. It was frozen.

3. No logging in on a different account to cheat and play again. This will mean risking getting banned!

4. No funny business or clever tricks.

After reading the rules, I got a sheer sense of alarm and fear. What if I got murdered? Who was the detective? What if I was detective and I failed? What if I'm murderer? I don't wanna kill anybody, and I don't wanna accuse anybody! I closed the pamphlet and took a deep breath. Suddenly, a happy-sounding voice came from my speakers. "Hey, Jammers! Now that there are 15 of you, it's time to get this party started! We picked a random detective from a jar of names, and they are...

ARCTIC WOLF!

All the animals seemed to look at me. As I heard my name get announced, my heart skipped a beat. I was detective? What if I guessed wrong and failed everybody? What if no one liked me because of it? I began to panic.

It took me a few seconds to realize that I was panting very, very loudly.
