Welcome to the shop, Muhamo Island, where you are never truely alone.


The shop previously belonged to Samurai Butterfly, and opened as Lonely Howl, who passed away from breast cancer at only 16 years old and was re-open by Kaoru-san305, as Lonely Howl II. It has since passed on to Lady Mirage, under the newest name of Muhamo Island. Though she may be gone, the shop lives on for her and the lonely howl of the wolves mourn her passing. She will always be remembered and loved.

February 3, 2008 - Couple of big announcements to make. 1) Kuro has resigned from her position as co-owner due to being insanely busy with real life and her own shop. 2) I am the new co-owner of the shop. 3) I am working on a new thread, new cert, the owners list and various other things, I would like to request that anyone who has a wolf that needs to grow PM the mule so we can get to it ASAP. Also, there is a leftover flatsale going on now on pg. 202 all of the wolves are back to the normal FS price!
September 3rd, 2007 - Been long enough, nyah? Well I (Kuro) Have grown a couple wolves and am back in school, Mira has her net back, and the other colorists... are... maybe MIA! I dun really know. Well I shouldn't turn this into a journal post. Just here to say pick up on page 170!

I know no one likes rules, but they must be enforced to keep the shop running smoothly and efficently. So please, take the time to read and follow them. Failure to do so may result in gray listing or blacklisting. Thank you.


The Rules
1. No whining or complaining. Things do not always go the way we want it to, so deal.

2. ABSOLUTLY NO STEALING THE ARTWORK! I have created the lineart; it belongs to no one but myself and Jimmy. Same with the colorists; edits and coloring is their property. Stealing artwork is a major offense on Gaia and in doing so it can result in your account being banned. If I catch anyone with my work or the colorists' work without our permission, you will be permanently put on the blacklist and reported to the mods.

3. Follow the Gaia TOS

4. Do not bug the colorists about their progress in growing’s, customs, or certing pups. We all have lives outside of Gaia and they will get to you so be patient. If your wolf is way overdue and you think the colorist might have forgotten about your pet, then post the certed wolf in the proper location in the guild. Question the colorist politely about him/her and wait patiently until they get back to you. Failure to follow this rule will result in punishment.

5. Lonely Howl wolves are non-maintence pets. You do not have any obligations when you buy one of these pets. You do not need to keep a journal or post in the shop. Your wolf will not be taken from you unless you break one of the rules that states requsition as a consequence.

6. Do not think that coming in here and killing off your wolf will get you your way or even upset me. If anything it will get your juvinale butt banned from my shop and all your wolf's requisitioned. They will then be given awar or raffled/auctioned off, and all alternative accounts, will be forever banned from owning a pet I have colored, or from any shop I own.

7. Ask questions and don't feel dumb. It's not allowed! Feeling dumb I mean. Please do read the FAQ's though before you start asking questions. If it's not in the FAQ's then you have every right to ask any silly question you want!

8. No flaming my shop, I and the other colorists work hard to create and distribute these pets to customers, flaming the shop and/or our work is unacceptable and rude.

9. No fighting! If you are having a problem with someone about something, please take it to the PMs. If new people come into a shop and find others fighting, I really don’t think they will want to come back. Also, for other people who like to gang up on other, or always have to have an input, try not to do those please. If you are trying to give solutions or stick up for a friend that you know for a fact is on the correct end that is all right. However, I would prefer people work things out in the guild. Fighting shouldn’t take place in this thread.

10. ANY SPAMMING WHATSOEVER WILL LEAD TO BANNING FROM THIS SHOP!!!!!!!


11. Do not lie to the staff

12. Listen to what Kaoru and the other colorists' say! Their word is law, keep that in mind.

I reserve the right to alter, edit, and add rules at my own whim.

Have any questions about anything? Usually the FAQ's can help you with this. Please read them through before PMing anyone about something.


FAQ's
What are Lonely Howl Pets?
Lonely Howl Pets are what you see in the shop! They are basically another species of wolves, living in a sacred forest They come in unique colors and patterns and grow attached to one human being.

How do I get one?
You can get a wolf through flatsales, auctions, raffles, and special events.

Can I have one right now?
It takes a little more than just asking. Other people want them too so you will have to work just as hard as them.

Can they breed?
Of course! They wouldn't be called a breedable pet for nothing.

Are they Role Play requied?
No, but role play is encouraged. The more active you are in the thread, te more chances you have at receiving something special, or having your wolf grow faster.

How long does it take for them to grow to the next stage?
If you read through the stages below, each will give an estimated amount of time. However, real life tends to get in the way, so please be paitent!

Can I sell the babies my wolf has?
No! You may give your babies away or keep them, but never sell them!

OMG! Did you draw those wolves?
Yes, I did. I do everything from drawing to coloring and beyond. Remember that these belong to me and taking them without asking will hurt me dearly and get you in a lot of trouble!

Do you do pet trades?
All the colorists do pet trades and you can find a list of what they would like in their post.

Can I have a job?
You have to have special requirments to be one of the staff. Please do not PM me about employment, I will come to you if I need help. Most likely the answer will be a no however, sorry.

I see some wolves in the banners! Can I have my wolf in there?
Most likely no. I'm lucky enough I had enough time to make those banners myself, doing them over again wouldn't be fun.

Can I role play my wolf and my avitar together?
Of course! Your wolf is like a guardian, wherever you go they will most likely follow.

What is the flatsale price for the wolves?
The flatsale price for this shop is 5k. This is nonnegoniable and will not be changed unless it's a present to someone.

How much will customes be?
Customs can range from 6k, all the way to 300k depending on the type of custom and the colorist. These aren't overpriced, that is usually the normal cost for any breedable pet. Colorists will have their own den in the guild explaining their custom prices and requirments. Be sure to check their post for the link.

Fifteen years ago on a cold, lonely night, a girl of only twelve years was abandoned in a forest with only the clothes on her back. She had no knowledge of where she was, what she was going to do, nor even why her mother had done this to her. The girl lay shivering in a ball on the ground wondering how she was ever going to live out in the spooky place. She stared up at the moon with sadness deep in her eyes and saw a shooting star. Then she heard a howl (or was it two?) that sounded so lonely afraid.

I wish that i had a place to go and someone to help me... I wish that wolf didn't sound so sad... The girl wished. If my wish comes true, I'll forever be grateful and will try to return the world's favor...

Just as the girl thought she was going to die from the exposure to the frigid air, a pair of wolves walked down through the meadow. When they sensed her, they looked straight into her eyes.

"Young one, I know. You've been abandoned, I can see it in your eyes. Come, I'll help you. I am called...Butterfly, and he is Samurai." The one on the right said, obviously female by her voice. She seemed sad herself, but she wanted to help the girl. Samurai merely stared into the young girl's eyes as if reading her soul, and said nothing. Finally, as if having satisfied himself, he merely nodding in agreement to his mate.

The girl looked at the wolf in surprise. How was she talking to her? Nonetheless, she was grateful and followed the pair. They led her to a cave where a fire was burning and there was food set on a sort of table. The female surprised the girl again by standing on her hind legs and cooking the food.

"Eat." The wolf told her, laying food onto the table. "You look starved. I'll take care of you, and you shall take care of me."

The girl ate and knew that she was going to be fine. After all, that lonely howl had led to her meeting the wolves.

And she was fine. She learned about the woods, how they'd given power to the wolves and let them speak and move as a human would. She grew up in the cave with the wolf as her mother, always taking care of her and in return being taken care of.

She never learned why the wolf was sad, but she knew that they'd also been abandoned. She made a pact that day to help those wolves abandoned in the woods, and she's kept her promise.

Story written by Samurai Butterfly
modified slightly by Lady Mirage to include two wolves instead of one


******

This island is where the girl met the wolves. The wolves here are special, sacred. They are able to move and talk with people. They will always protect you when you need it, if you take care of them.

The woods and mountains of the island are beautiful in the daylight and at sunset. There's a clearing in the middle, near the huge lake, where the wolves meet. The trees are all tall and have plenty of plumge. There's a river running through the forest. It's a crisp, cold colored blue. There are flowers of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. There are plenty of caves and hollows spread throughout the woods.

Want a little preview of what your wolf might look like in the future? Look below to check things out!


Normal Male Stages
User Image


Normal Female Stages
User Image


Stage Descriptions
Infant: Your wolf has just been born, it cannot see or hear, only smell. The basket and soft grass they lay in is for protection, without it, they could easily die. So make sure to put them back in them when you are done handling your infant. They are completely helpless and need their owner's love and attention more than anything to help them grow and develop. The spent their infantcy eating and sleeping and sometimes crawling around, or attempting to. Make sure to take special care of yor infant, he or she relies on you in this stage.

Child: Your wolf can now talk fully and understand right from wrong. Their minds are like spounges and all they will ever want to do is wander off and play. They can be taught some lessons in hunting and eat regular meat without it having to be chewed for them xD. They will aquire playmates and life long friends, showing their future rank later on in life. There will be signs of submission and also dominance, but life will still be sweet. Keep them little while it lasts!

Teenager: Uh oh! Your wolf is now a teenager, ready to be in a pack and falling in love. Some are different than others depending on how you raised them, but they will always have their mood swings and don't be upset if they don't want to be with you times. They may be your guardian, but they still need their space...this is the time when they demand for it. Teens will most likely be showing off, making bad decisions, and staying out in the depths of the Sacred Woods for hours. They are wolves remember, and usually can take care of themselves by now. Sorry to say, but they aren't you little puppy anymore.

Adult: Finally! Your wolf has reached it's final stage in life and has made it all the way through with your help. They will forever protect you and stand by your side when needed to. Some will travel off to start or find packs, but remember that they will always come back for you. The bond you and your wolf share is very strong, it won't ever die. Besides, your living in Sacred Woods, which is almost like being on an island, they will still be in the area and never leave. Your wolf will start to have babies and use everything you taught him or her in their upcoming years. Congratulations! You should be proud!

Want your wolves to have little pups of their own? Looking for some cute little wolves scampering around? You've come to the right section, here I will explain the rules and put up my slots. To find out pricing and other information, go to my breeding den in the guild. It will be posted below.


The Rules
1. Please ask the colorist if they do same sex breeding or not...some will, some will not, deal with it. Do not ask them to do something they do not wish to do.
2. Puppies may be kept or given away, they cannot be sold! If I or any of the other staff members find out you have sold a puppy, you will be banned from receiving anything from me and possibly the shop no questions asked!
3. Do not role play the breeding. If you wish to do that, keep it to PMs only!
4. Role playing the birth is allowed, but to an extent. Basically you can role play everything in the birth except the conception, no one really needs to read about that. Role playing the labor, the mother licking her pups, etc, it fine however.
5. Related wolves can not breed with each other.
6. Normal wolves will have a litter of 2 or 3 pups.
7. Slots are first come first serve when they are open, unless I make a game out if it which I will rarely do.
8. When claiming a slot, both owners must okay the breeding before offically getting the spot.
9. Please post both wolves' names and URLs to their certed images when requesting a slot.
10. When sending the money for a breeding, it must be sent all in one. If there is a trust issue with the other person, talk to me about it and I will allow seperate trades.


Breeding Slot Information:


Check the colorists' breeding dens. If there are slots available then following the rules in getting a slot. If they are not available do NOT harass the colorists' to open their slots!


Breeding Dens

Kaoru's Den <33

Kuro's Den <33

Lynera's Den <33

Rian's Den <33 Breeding Slots: OPEN!

Weather you donated, helped out the shop in any way, or just a dedicated member to Lonely Howl, you get a spot on the whitelist. This is a great honor and you'll recieve something nice in return for your efforts.

Name....Prize:....Reason

celestialknight_lyon.....One free normal custom from Kaoru-san305: His name is Jimmy, and he has recently lost a loved one, Samurai Butterfly. He also let me take over and re-open the shop in memory of her. So for that he deserves a gift.

AriyaLauna:....That male that she really wanted for her girl! That is basically a custom from Kaoru-san305, any colors, etc: She has been a great friend to Kaoru and a dedicated member to Lonely Howl. She helped Kaoru when she needed it most and always knew how to cheer her up. Her leadership qualities taught Kaoru a lot and for that, she tahnks her with this.

yin-n-yang-girl....One free normal custom from Lady Mirage...for donating to the mule 10k and some chump change every now and then to the shop (her words not mine!)
