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....

And so Quebec and Spain have been captured. Lemmings have jumped off cliffs. And I need to improve my British accent. This has been a Melody report. *ESPN tag*
(September 12, 2012 - 1:55 pm)
R:Today we are going after Newfoundland and Labrador! How ambitious!
S: Troop info, as usual: Everything is fine, no major casualiities. We have recieved 326 more lemmings, making a grand total of 16,793,223,314 lemmings. The teams have been put back into order with some minor changes: Team C hs been abolished, and Team T (for transportation) has opened up and consists of various Pokemon that can swim/fly/teleport lemmings to Newfoundland. Half will take over Labrador, half will take over Newfoundland. Other teams will also split up. This has been a Sakura report.
R: Hokay, at 8:21 A.M. tomorrow in Atlantic time (8:51 A.M. in Newfoundland time), I will be asleep. It will be 4:21 in California. So Sakura may be awake (S: if I feel like finishing whatever book I'll be reading). That is also the time we will launch the campaign! All lemmings and teams will run up and down and do their jobs (meaning: get into as much as possible and cause chaos and scare people up the wall) The magicians will be allowed free reign, but the dragons are not allowed to torch anything we can't repair and the demons are not to eat anyone.
S: And at 10:00 ATD I will push a certain Genesect into the water. Funny, I thought they could swim. Oh, is certain classmate who I hate absent today? How funny, he did a Genesect for his Pokemon project in Japanese. Oh well, must be a conicidence.
R: You're nice. (S: I know, right?) And at 10:15 ATD we will ask Canada to give up both places for my empire (tries to think of good name) (fails) (oh well). We will remind them we have a large number of fire-breathing dragons. And human-eating demons. And the Sugarbowl of Doom. so please hand it over. And by the time I finish breakfast, I will own Newfoundland and Labrador! Mwa ha ha!
S: Bye now! We have To Kill A Mockingbird essays (10 of them) to work on now!

Newfoundland and Labrador has been captured!
(September 13, 2012 - 9:02 am)
Red: Okay, today we are taking over severel provinces at once! On today's agenda: New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Sakura: Troop info as usual: 3 lemmings fell into the sea, but besides that we have no casualities which is good, everyone is in good health and spirits (Pochi got his leg fixed (Red, you really need to change his name (R: why? It's his name.))). Therefore, full steam ahead! Note: the pokemon will stay on this time around.
Red: So at 6:17 Atlantic time, the invasion will be launched. The lemmings will be split into 3 teams, and the teams will also be split up semi-evenly. Again, the teams wil be given free reign as long as they follow the basic guideline: don't do anything we can't fix. That means no killing anyone, no causing major injuries to anyone, don't hurt anyone in general, do not harm any plants and animals, don't capture any skinks no matter how cool they look, and no letting lose the Sugarbowl.
Sakura: Why are we giving so much free reign? We don't have very much free time. Why? 1 word: essays.
Red: The conquest will hopefully finish at 9: 58 Atlantic time.
Sakura: And sometime around that, I will drag in Ann Verna (my only character I've created who's name is Ann) and make her say "I'm the happiest girl on Prince Edward Island". Just for good time's sake.
Red: See ya later.
(September 14, 2012 - 6:22 pm)
NOW who's conquering way too quickly?
@Melody - Status reports are of yay!
(September 15, 2012 - 6:56 pm)
Well, sorry Madam Quintus, but I'm trying to finish Canada's conquest by Thursday, the day the essays are due in English, so I can celebrate both at the same time. With lots of Rush music, most likely. I shall post the conquest later. Of whatever province is next.
(September 16, 2012 - 8:53 am)
I AM NOT MADAM QUINTUS!!
I shall be referred to as Quintus, Fifth of the Protectors of Calveicia, Sunday's Noon, 8th in precedence within the House.
Ah, a deadline. I see. Well, Russia's next!
To elaborate:
"Ooh. It's cold here. Cold, frigid, icy, freezing, frosty-"
"WILL YOU SHUT IT?!" Quintus barked. She flipped back the hood of her parka. "Sure, maybe for a weakling Thesaurus like you, it's cold. But we have a greater purpose now!"
Stalking over to a large group of random beings, she procured a clipboard from a random pocket. "Alright! Team SC! Team Red has nearly finished their conquest of Canada, which means that I must rely on my idiot brother for lodging, because he has turned traitor and managed to keep Nova Scotia. We already have Britain and parts of Spain. We go for Russia now!
"Raised Rats!" A group of rather large and refined-looking rats saluted. "You invade the sewer system. Collect in the intersections. We'll communicate by simultaneous bottle to what streets we need you to collapse." Quintus pulled a normal-looking bottle out of her coat and poked a small piece of paper inside. It vanished immediately.
"Piper's children and all Denizens except for Dr. Scamandros, Monday's Noon, Suzy Turquoise-Blue, and the Internal Auditors, storm Moscow. Hold up any and all political centers. Your leaders will tell you what to do from there. Go now, and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
The group of Denizens she had singled out grouped tighter together as she neared them. "Dr. Scamandros!"
"Yes?" The doctor's tattoos stormed around his face in complex patterns, forming the Calveician crest and then melting into many random things.
Quintus handed him a simultaneous bottle. "We'll be in touch. Keep track of the Piper's children. I may need to install you as a temporary head of Russia while I conquer other things.
"The rest of you - there is reason to believe that the princess Anastasia is in St. Petersburg. I need you to find her and get her on our side!"
As they left, Quintus smiled to herself. "Take that, greenie."
And thus Russia was held under siege. A full report of the actual conquest will be presented later. Quintus has not ever heard that quote before, likes bananas quite a bit, says that PEI is the abbreviation for Prince Edward Island, wants to know where the NW Territories, Yukon, the actual conquering of PEI, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia went, says that you can't count this as a real takeover until you've got Ottawa, Nunavut is spelled with a U and Saskatchewan just like that, really likes World History because she can laugh about Hetalia, is planning to invade the US with her state OCs (because, alas, the province OCs can no longer be swayed), supports Masami and Zutara, desperately wants another season of LOK to magically appear, goes to Rush concerts with signs that have stick figures representing her friends on them ("Three girls at a Rush concert! That's a new record!"), is really supposed to be doing German homework right now (Eh. Ich werde es später tun. [That means "Eh. I'll do it later", Admins!]), really should get some sleep, and is honoured that a post is dedicated to her. Her (very hungry) captcha, Garthwumpian Flopp, would like to state that lemmings are delicious in barbecue sauce. Even carilemmingbou. Especially carilemmingbou. What else would clbq mean?
Quintus, ich spreche Deutsch.

Oh, look. I now own Nunavut. I'd like to point out something, Madam Quintus, have you noticed that Russia is a very large country? Just saying. It's too bad you didn't get the dryers quote. You must not be a very big Rush fan afterall. (And thus begins a fierce rivalry.) And I haven't conquered Northern territories, Yukon, or Ontario yet. Satisfied, Miss Nose? And what exactly is LOK?
(September 16, 2012 - 5:46 pm)
@Madam Quintus: 1. Now you have told us what not to call you I will now call you that to aggravate you. 2. My, my. Your "idiot brother". 3. Look up Geddy Lee and a small terrier to get the dryers quote.
@Leader Red: 1. You have no idea how much will power I am using to reist making some snarky HMC quote. 2. Whatever happened to my Transylvanian twist? (That's what I'm listening to right now.)3.mrbc
(September 16, 2012 - 8:41 pm)
@Sakura: 1. I'm not married, you know... I would be "Mademoiselle". 2. Yes. My IDIOT BROTHER. 3. Well, I'm sorry if I have too many AP classes to look up wonderful things about terriers between homework and world domination. Rubber chicken sausage makers!
@Red: 1. LOK stands for Legend of Korra. It is my alternate fan source when I have exhausted the Hetalia-related topics. 2. Uh, yeah. That's why I don't actually have it yet. 3. Nose? Well.
MY BAG IS A ZEBRA. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
(September 17, 2012 - 3:09 pm)
Oh, are you sure you aren't married, Madam Quintus? And it really wouldn't kill you to waste 6:25 watching two amusing videos. -An IB student, which is more demanding than AP
(September 18, 2012 - 6:21 pm)
Uh. I'm quite sure. I wouldn't mind being the Doctor's companion, though.
WASTING TIME. WASTING WAY TOO MUCH TIME.
Oh, figures now is it? MATH. THE HORROR.
Are you quite sure about that? How many AP Honors Calculus classes with evil teachers did YOU take this semester?
(September 20, 2012 - 3:34 pm)
@Red
Just saying, AP means college level.
@Quintus
You're taking AP Honors Calculus? What grade are you in? My school only offers AP Bio to my grade.
(September 20, 2012 - 8:50 pm)
I'm a sophomore, but by some fluke of nature I got put in higher-level maths. I'm doing okay, but I've learned to love B-pluses.
(September 22, 2012 - 5:54 pm)
Oh, that's good. Because once in a random thread, Elizabeth M. said something about wanting to post in German and one of the Admins said that wasn't really okay because you guys couldn't censor it if it was un-okay.
(Is my grammar okay? Because I'm good with vocab, bad with grammar.)
It's true, we will not post much in any language other than English. Since Cricket magazine is in English, we want all our readers to be able to understand whatever is posted.
