NINECLAWS MISSING CLAW

NINECLAWS MISSING CLAW

CLAW I

So many people keep asking me about my user name, “nineclaws”. The first person who asked me was @aagabriel. He also mentioned that 9 should be 10. Then @hiveqa chimed in with a second inquiry, which was rather strange to me, since he helped me decide on my user name. Rather suspicious in my mind. Later on, @hiveqa admitted he was in possession of my 10th missing claw!!! He confirmed that he had it mounted as a trophy, after I questioned him about it. I thought, great, just great, I’m going to be missing my 10th claw forever now.

Soon afterwards, @failingforwards asked me, “How did nineclaws come about?” I explained how my user name, nineclaws originated. He then says, “That’s cool, but I was really hoping you are a cat and each time you used a life up, lost a claw.” I responded, “Actually, I am a cat and this is my 9th and last life, so you're accurate. About the missing claw, well, @hiveqa has it.”

All of a sudden, @stayten contacts me and claims he has stolen my 10th claw. He staked a claim on it, called it his “precious” and refused to relinquish it. I tried bribing @stayten, but he ignored me completely.

A day later, @failingforwards tells me, “Hey! Also I have the 10th claw!” I was in shock and said, “WHAT?! You have the 10th claw? Now 3 people have my 10th claw!” 😭 @failingforwards says, “Ten hive and its all yours.” I told him I didn’t have enough Hive to give him the price he demanded. He was absolutely heartless and said, “Guess no claw for you.” I said, “That’s why I’m always nineclaws, missing one.” @failingforwards said, “To cheap to buy back your last one.” I had no idea he had this ruthless streak about claws, since he’s always been so kind and fun to joke with.

Next day, I’m trying to savour my coffee and @stayten chimes in with, “Claw tasting?” My response was, “I can't, you, @failingforwards, and @hiveqa have my 10th claw, how am I supposed to claw taste when I'm missing an essential claw?” At this point, I’m so lost as to who has my claw, where it is, and wondering what the obsession with my 10th claw even is. What is a cat to do? 😿 Limp along on nine claws.

CLAW III

A couple days pass and I hear from @jamesrussell about my 10th claw. Before I could respond, @failingforwards jumped in and said, “Thanks James I dropped that, I'll take that now.” @jamesrussell replied, “I think nineclaws said 3 people had it, but I just found it. Maybe we can leave it with @stayten, he’s trustworthy." Then, @failingforwards comes back with, “But do you really want to trust it with someone so careless?” At this point, @jamesrussell laughs and wisely says, “I think I'm staying out of this one, lol.”

I contacted @jamesrussell and he showed me a photograph of what he found that he was sure was my 10th claw. He was very kind, even offering suggestions of how to repair it so I could be fully clawed again. alas, it turned out not to be my missing claw after all. 😭

CLAW IV

A new friend, @generra-abraham, while in the process of chatting, says this about my missing claw, “I really was going to ask....”

Then today, @brittandjosie asked me this, “Nine, when does it become 10?”

Everyone needs to know, I have my 10th claw back now!!! I have found it and it is in my possession as of a week ago today. I’m not going to say what lengths I had to go to, both in locating and retrieving it. It took all of my remaining nine claws to do that and I’m not giving up my secrets!!! My user name is going to have to stay “nineclaws” though, because that’s how my Hive account was set up. This should answer all questions about “nineclaws” and my missing claw (I hope).

Dear mister nineclaws what a great time to explain yourself to all of us clueless ones. Clawless one in your case. I do read some animosity between some of out terminalers and you. We want you to know we mean well and the fact I asked you was to but back the claw because I do have the hive and now that you have it back and are whole again maybe I should power up some hive for you on pud on a few days ... that claw was on my mind way to much. So thanks for sharing it’s been a fun read 😉😉

Hahaha, so glad you liked my story! I think it was funny you asked on the day I was going to post this, very timely on your part. 😆

I hope all claws questions have been retracted into a restful place! 😜

This is, this sooo... Really... I just hope I don't have someone's claw in my throat now though. Great stuff @nineclaws or 10 or something... Next is pestering you you on how you found this claw. 😂😂

You're just killing me, I'm dying laughing here!!! Thank you and give it your best shot at pestering me as to how I found my missing claw! 😜😜😜😅

OMG FINALLY, this is the best thriller I've ever read. I was like SO MANY QUESTIONS N TOO LITTLE ANSWERS WHERES THE CLAWWW

lmaoooo

Did I answer all the claw questions that ever clawed at your mind and through your thoughts? 🤣
Thank you @ailindigo, red seems to have over-ruled the blue mood for a burst of vibrancy!

QA is like the glue that holds the very essence of the hiveverse together, you hear that @hiveqa , you will always be Quahhhhh to some of us OG's lulz

LOLOL, I thought @hiveqa was his own universe, randomly gracing us with his stardust presence 😜

I AM my own universe!😀

YOU ARE! I knew it! It was the magic stardust trail that you leave that gave you away! 😁

Never have I been so offended by so many factual and accurate accusations ;p

Never have I been so entertained by such a reaction to said accusations 🤣

Oh my god I didn’t know you are so rude, and that you are claw-ing all the time. I am so glad I read this blog ! 😜

@failingforwards is the claw stealing master I'd say! 😜

I used to do that with my cat 😁

This one makes me want a back scratch and rub! 🤪

Okay I give up. Believe that I never asked you anything about your name nine.

🤣 You're going to give up? That's why I did a post, so I could easily answer. LOL!

In all seriousness, "nine" is me, once I do the numbers. The "claws" thing is another story, from about a year ago, before I joined Hive. A native friend, not on Hive, gave me a native name "One-of-Many-Claws" (things I did to help her out with one of my skills). Since I'm not native, it's quite an honour to have that given to me. I didn't feel comfortable with taking that as a Hive user name for that reason, so I altered it to "nineclaws" instead.

I can't have you giving up, that just doesn't work. 🤗

Phew, this is much better, now I understand.

Enlightened about the claws....LOL.
