I have no idea, I only saw it on the internet. Godspeed to whoever runs into Janis, I guess. As far as I can tell it might be real, but I also can't put it past being someone else's tinfoil hat talking.

What!? Wait, a giant horse statue? Is it still on the loose? Did this actually happen or is this the tinfoil hat talking?

[profoundlydaphne]

[User considers this for a long time, what kind of tricks can hamsters learn? She's going to find out, mark her words.] That's super cool. Learn something new every day!

Not if we're doing our job, haha. Don't worry, it's not bad— Well, the good thing about the wilderness being so large is that they are spread out and territories are easy to recognize with a trained eye. Which is why staying on the approved paths are so important! But don't worry, it's safe here. Mostly.

Apparently they can? But I just want him to be a decent hamster, I'm not expecting anything too wild!

Oh wait, I think I've spoken to another park ranger on here, what a coincidence! Surely there aren't that many large & dangerous animals around?

[frigidwaves]

Yeah, we tend to get a lot of bookings. They can be as detailed as you’d like, but it also depends on the artist you’re working with.

Oh amazing! Long waiting list? How..., detailed can the tattoos be?

[realmackross]

[pm] I can't believe I'm repeating this...The Magic Pony Rescue Team. It was about...magic ponies and they were superheroes. I was young okay. Like super young...I'm pretty sure there's at least one copy of that floating around here. And the stalker, I can handle. I'll just eat him if he breaks into my house.

Oh my God, what's the movie called?

Honestly I haven't seen a DVD in general for forever so surely there aren't that many copies around? Like I think the stalking is a little more worrying, right?

[eliaskahtri]

Maybe I am. Maybe I'm just one more weird experience away from a tinfoil hat. The day is young.

Well someone got a giant sentient horse statue that ran away, so... I'll let your imagination run wild with that one.

Oh, that's okay! I won't lie you are starting to sound more & more like a doomsday prepper though...

No, I don't think I've experienced any weird or strange packages yet. Just some ghosts trying to possess me! What's in them?

[eliaskahtri]

Uh, no. I'm [........] unemployed. Working on it. I have a lot of free time.

Nice to meet you, Livia. Welcome to town and all that. The welcome wagon here is weird, watch out for strange packages.

No like I totally get it, I definitely think that this is normal & really beneficial for the community & all that amazing stuff. So..., are you a cop? Or a detective?

I'm Livia, I'm somewhat new in town. Less than a year.

[chasseurdeloup]

Maybe. Or maybe you're not treating it well. How have you been treating it? Does it have enough space to live in? A lot of pet stores say that rodents need a lot less space than is ideal for them. And enrichment is important for all animals, even small ones.

Steals things? Like what? They're not big, there's only so much that they can take..

I mean, hamsters tend to just... go. Wherever whenever they want. Best thing to do is keep them away from your books or belongings. Get a way to gate them off from things.

Well maybe this one just really hates me then.

He just continues to steal my things, bites me, has been pooping & peeing on my books, intentionally, to like, ruin the pages or something. I don't have a photo because he constantly runs away from me whenever he sees the camera. Also, yes I think it's definitely a hamster. I'm the one that turned him into it, I would know.

[frigidwaves]

Yeah, I do. It’s called Seven Serpents. I’ve been working there for about two years now.

That's absolutely disgusting..., but you work at the tattoo place right? What's it called again?

[frigidwaves]

Yeah, you can say that again. Not all anti-fungal sprays are made equal, but I had one customer use one for the house a while back. [User can’t help, but wince at the memory]

Anti-fungal spray? Like..., what, a disinfectant spray? For the house? That's gross...

[profoundlydaphne]

I'm not really sure how you could train your hamster to not be mean to you outside of food rewards. I don't think they can learn tricks, can they?

You could say that. I've worked out in nature my whole life. Recently picked up a job here as a park ranger. So, mostly the big ones. The small ones tend to be pests more than anything. Unless it's an Aniukha—

He isn't totally food related but..., I'll give it a go.

Do you have lots of experience with feral animals? The little ones are worse than the big ones sometimes.

[eliaskahtri]

There's a lot of weird crimes or things that happen here. They all have to have an answer, right? I'm trying to find the answer. [.......] Or something. I'm Elias, I swear I'm more normal than this.

Umm..., no I don't think I know anything but are these sort of things normal here? Or are you like a doomsday prepper or something?

[chasseurdeloup]

I'm familiar with hamsters. I'm in animal control. Never heard of an ungrateful one that bullies people, though. What exactly is it doing? And are you sure it's a hamster? Got a picture of it at all?

Does anyone have any experience with ungrateful hamsters? I'm being personally victimised & bullied by mine...

[profoundlydaphne]

Do trust exercises! Not like trust falls but like offering it food from your hand and wearing blows in case your hamster tries to go for your hand until it stops reacting as much? At least that’s what they do with feral kittens sometimes.

[eliaskahtri]

Weird strange disappearances and deaths. Weird because I want answers to a few questions that have been spiraling around in my mind. Weird because I need answers.

Looking for weird news headlines. Nothing is too weird. It's for [......] research.

[bookofbolden]

Maybe he's just in his teenage stage or something. Animals go through that and they turn into little assholes for a while but then eventually they start to behave normally.

He is definitely eating, he probably eats too much if I'm being honest.

[bookofbolden]

Not since my brother's hamster when we were children. The thing hated me until I started to just feed it every time I was around. Then the acquaintanceship began.
