Hello, everynyaa. How
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hello, everynyaa. How
Hello, everynyaa. How are you? Fine, thank you. Osaka: Oh maw gosh!
Hiiiiiiii. You can call me Red. I am a rather bookish guy who has been badgered into joining the Chatterbox by Sakura. Sakura badgers me into a lot of things..... Anyway, I'm new to this whole Chatterbox business,so if you could introduce yourself that would be appreciated. Oh, and Sakura told me that there are only a few guys on the Chatterbox. Follow me, guys, and become my loyal minions! Follow me like lemmings and I will lead you to a great and glorious future, where boys are no longer the minority! For those who serve me faithfully, I will reward you greatly!
Okay, I'm just ranting now. I think my point has been made and I can now slink away....

I'm in Antartica! The carilemmingbou sledge is working great. I'm dressed for the cold, and I have several shiny rocks. The carilemmingbou are dipping into their ancient knowledge of the wilds of Antartica (although both caribou and lemmings come from the tundra) and are taking me to the Penguin King. Results shall be posted tomorrow morning.

Good morning, everyone! So I reached the Penguin King and his court of penguins at 5:37 this morning (when my alarm clock went off. Why did I set my alarm? And it interrupted a perfectly good dream about, of all things, Teen Titans.) and presented him with a shiny chunk of magnetite (ha, ha). So, I'm done with the challenge. Madam Quintus, how well are you going?
Wow, congratulations, Red! I'm amazed at how fast you completed what I thought was a really difficult challenge!

Everything is possible with the fastest manned airplane in the world, 16,793,223,xxx lemmings, a power-hungy advisor, several amazing power-hungry people (Thank you, oh SilverWing, Miki, and Gollum), and the Sugarbowl of DOOM!

How's the weather down there?

Cloudy, -1 Farenheit, wind is 9 mph NE. It's dark. Very dark.

I apologize for the delay in posting. I went to see The Hobbit. :)
I also apologize for the note that I am sure you have received by now from the Penguin King. He has stated that magnetite simply is not shiny enough. So I will have to look for something shinier.
In addendum, the Skyrider does not run on the fuel that a Blackbird requires. Hydrogen fuel cells FTW. And zero emissions, too. So I was able to make it to Cape Town, then down to the Penguin King's lair in good time. Unfortunately, I was delayed by a storm and I had Dr. Scamandros working for awhile to keep the water in the cells from freezing. We have been scrying Antarctica for shiny things ever since.
Will you ever cease with the 'Madam Quintus'? If you do not, I will have issues.
Oh, hey Alaska's here. She's saying that she messed with your carilemmingbou. Don't ask me how. She's taken on strange attributes ever since I decided to ship her with Yukon. Attributes like being extremely good with animals.
Scamandros is telling me that a shiny thing can be found within a mile of our current location, which cannot be determined by you. Tra-la-la!
(December 16, 2012 - 5:53 pm)
The carilemmingbou have been replaced with freshly created carilemmingbou to avoid tampering. Red is heading back to the lair of the Penguin King with a shiny piece of gold. You might as well just admit surrender, (Madam) Quintus.
He should be there in about ten minutes. Oh, by the way, while I was tampering with your Skyrider, I added a time bomb that is set to go off 24 hours after placement. Which was about an hour before I posted the message that I was tampering with your Skyrider. Good luck finding it. (I seriously made a list with all kinds of things I did to the Skyrider. You should watch out.)
I'm going to mess with the Skyrider some more.
The captcha says cryi. Don't cry, captcha. I have a secret weapon that Red can threaten the Penguin King with. One that starts with a S and ends with a l.
(December 16, 2012 - 6:33 pm)
Red's going to threaten the Penguin King with a Squirrel? How heartless! Everyone knows squirrels and penguins can't stand each other after what happened with the kite and the orange book!
(December 16, 2012 - 9:17 pm)
No. No. No. Melody, Melody, Melody. Think ski lodge.
(December 16, 2012 - 11:21 pm)
Awww, I thought we were gonna have a squirrel party.:(
(December 17, 2012 - 3:13 pm)
And I would like to see you try to tamper further with my quest. If you make a single move within five kilometers of us and the Penguin King, a spell trap will activate, hemming in your entire operation with a battalion of Cocigrues and bibliophages. I am sure that you have quite a bit of writing in your operation. That could be seen as unwise.
Well, anyway, I have found great amounts of shiny things, including the fifth Key and my own Calveician-steel sword (which is bright blue, because that is how things work on my home planet). Despite its risks, I have taken to using the Improbable Stair. Very handy, and quite a bit faster than carilemmingbou. Alaska wonders what kind of ethical problems you do not have with creating genetically altered animals.
(December 17, 2012 - 4:14 pm)
Really. A. I'm not genetically tampering with them. It's magic.
B. I don't think you created a very fair contest. I completed the contest and then you said my submission was invalid. And now I'm banned from trying again (which I already did, Miss Quintus). So, essentially, the contest is being decided by a nonpartial judge.
C. Fine. I'm going over to Sakura's house to get the Sugarbowl. And if you don't want your name in it, Penguin King, I suggest you call me the victor.
D. I'm within your five km spell range. I have ways of moving undected by lesser mages.
(December 17, 2012 - 7:23 pm)
I didn't ban you. I sabatoged you. There is a difference. Would somebody *ahem Melody, Admins* care to be the Penguin King?
So the Sugarbowl is a modified version of the Death Note? Ooh.
Scamandros is second only to Lady Saturday, who is currently out of commission. So I dare you to call him "lesser".
Ooh, I love cold weather, ice, and snow . . . however I can't commit the time to be PK, even though I am another kind of PK. Other PKs may know what I mean.

I bring tidings from Red. He has a bad cold (and says that if he has to make any speechs, it will be limited to "Thag you very buch.") and a whole lot of homework. Two ginormous projects due on Friday (which I just finished the smaller one- the 20 page reasearch paper. And I just realized I forgot to double-space. Oops.) and finals, finals, finals. (2 Japanses finals, one today, one tomorrow (essay and multiple choice) English final tomorrow, Math benchmark also tomorow, science final, on Thursday for a change, and... I think that's it, actually.)
Anyway, he's too busy to write and I'll try to do it for him.
The captcha says mept. Oh no! The Meepits are invading the CB...

I have come as an ambassador of peace who is tired of world-domination leaking into other threads.
Seriously, this has gone just a little too far. Maybe it's just my viewpoint as a person not directly involved with the whole world-domination thing, but we are better than this. I feel like this has left the realms of friendly competition and gone into a full out war, and we're all friends here. Can we just call it a draw and return the captured countries to their rightful owners? I mean, sure, I could be the Penguin King. But I would probably just say to heck with shiny things get me a cookie.
I don't mean to start harping on everybody, but I think we should just close this up before it starts getting really ugly.

A large box of cookies for L with chocalate chip, snickerdoodle, and oatmeal rasin cookies is being delivered to your place of residence.
