The Update..
''NOTE: THIS IS FAKE AND TAKES PLACE ON OCTOBER 31ST 2015. MAY BE VIOLENT. CONTAINS SOME BLOOD.''

It was just a normal Halloween day, kids outside playing in their costumes scaring their friends, some adults hammering decorations into their house, it was like this every year. Since I was going to log onto Animal Jam and play for a while, I wanted peace and quiet. So I went down into my basement where I could not hear a sound of the outside.

When I logged on, it was on the spinning globe loading screen for a while. After about 3 minutes, it finally switched to one of the artwork loading screens. It also took a while on that. Once I finally heard the song Spooky Old Bones, I saw that there was ANOTHER update. There had already been 3 updates for the Night of the Phantoms already, so this was the fourth update of October. Wow. When I looked at the artwork in the middle of the Jamaa Journal, I saw that Animal Jam was adding exclusive new colors only for that day, most of them being spooky. Animal Jam also added some more detail to the animal's animations. For example if you moved a lot your animal's fur would get a bit mussed up. They also added exclusive patterns, one of them looking a lot like blood. It wasn't the splotches that looked like thrown paint, it was lines, representing deep scratches, with drippy-like lines coming out of them, representing oozing blood. This surprised me a bit because Animal Jam is a kid-friendly game, yet since they make weapons like bow and arrows and swords, I then thought it was okay.

I read through the rest of the journal and saw that Animal Jam was going more in depth in their clothing. For example, an eye patch was now an eye item and feather earrings were ear items. The rest of it was just AJHQ advertisements for Polar Bears, STILL rumoring what the new animal was, even though it was clear it was an Arctic Fox, and a Wild Explorers Episode.

Once I was done with the news, I wanted to see all the new features that Animal Jam had, so i made a new wolf. It's name was Pouncing Muddyninja, but I didn't change it. I made the animal and went to my den. I ran in a circle and chuckled as my wolf now looked like an angry cat. Then I looked at the updated color pallet. There were a bunch of cool colors, like a new, cleaner orange. One color caught my eye though, it was a deep, yet bright red, with a slightly darker red in the box reading a word. It was hard to see what the word was, but I then realized it said " Blood ". I was quite shocked that Animal Jam put this message in a color box, yet I still chose the color. It really looked like blood. I kept the color, and for the other color I used a lime-ish green. I then gave the wolf the secret color for the eyes, and switched them to the boy looking eyes. I chuckled a bit at the wolf. When I looked in Jam-mart-Clothing, I was greeted by some violent items, along with some creepy recolors. For a new ear item, Animal Jam released the knife ears. I bought them, and continued looking at the creepy items. There was a recolor of the hockey mask, it was a tanish-yellow with specks of dark red on it. I assumed this was a psycho-killer mask, and I actually got disgusted with some of these items. but the one that really stood out was a belly item: oozing organs.

Now things were getting crazy. I bought them too, but when I looked back at Pouncing's items, they didn't have the straps on them that indicated they were a costume. The knife ears had actually turned my character's ears into knives, and the oozing organs really came out of the animal. I almost threw up. I didn't take the items off though. I closed the change your look window and moved my animal around my den. When I moved, Pouncing's knife ears moved the way a normal wolf's ear moves, but the oozing organs jiggled violently and had blood dripping off of them. I gagged.

I went to Jamaa Township as Pouncing Muddyninja, to see if anyone else was using the new features. Of course, everyone was. Someone was even saing, "ORGANCLAN MEH DEN!!! '' I left that world and went to a different one. There were very few worlds, as if Animal Jam was still adding stuff. I went to Kilimanjaro, just because I liked to say the name. Everyone was still seeing all the features, but there was no "Organclan" to be heard of. Then, a screeching siren sound started coming from my computer. Everyone was putting up confused emotes, and some had even logged off, so I knew this was not just me. A message with an upset image of Lisa in the corner appeared. I tried to read it with the unbearable screeching getting louder.
