What's Up In: Chirp at Cricket 

Hey, CBers! Looking for some fun? Great games are all around in CaC, home of randomness, pies, and chatting galore. Check out Over the Rainbow's Color List Game (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/215988). Rack your brains for names of colors, absurd and well known, and see how many we can list! From Savvy's "tickle me pink" to Hermione A's "burgundy", this is also a great place to learn new colors!

Speaking of games, MysteriousHood's simple and fun one, "LAST TO POST" is still going on, since January 2014! Whoever posts last by the final date wins a (nonexistant) prize! Want to take a stab at it? You'll be hooked! http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/129117

Mosey on down and check it out! (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/217876) The Riddler (formeraly Elena P) writes: "I am complimenting everyone on the CB.

Also, Lap R, our awesome new CBer, has created a lovely "Art Posting" thread.

(http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/212426)

Lap, who uses an iPad to draw glorious digital art, tells us that, "I draw in a sort of anime/manga/toon style, but if you don't, don't let that stop you from posting your stuff!  I would love to see other people's art so post away!  They can be OCs, fan art, or just random stuff.  You can use any media, including digital, like I do!"

He/she posted a series of images detailing her process, from rough outline... 

...to lovely finished product!

I read the True selves RP by Twilight Sparkle (aka Mei-xue) and want to use it as the RP of the every-other week? Is that ok? I can select the quote.

I want to add this to the next issue, it's a correction.

Corrections

*Coughcough*

I'd like to actually kind of make a correction. Evil's Revenge is the second roleplay in a two part series.

The original thread had been created May 20th, 2015.

That...

Means...

It has been going on...

for almost...

A.

Year.

Let me just take a moment to go scream. :D

Here's my 2 True Selves RP quotes:

Elena~

Slowly, I stalk down the school's deserted hallways -- I'm late. I sigh and think of my book sitting in my backpack. I'd rather be in that world than this one. Another new school, another restart. I hate it. I turn the corner and dump my stuff into my locker. Checking my schedule, I walked through the twisted maze of hallways covered in cheesy "Welcome Back to School!" posters and announcments until I reach the classroom. I slip in, unnoticed, just as everyone's finishing up introductions, which is a relief because I hate introducing myself. I try to pay attention to what the teacher is saying, but I quickly drift off into my own thoughts. It's just the same, boring, beginning of school speech - classes, expectations, and rules. Songs from Hamilton start playing in my head, and with a jolt I realize that it's time for the next class. I glare at all the students in the hall, chattering away like they've been friends their entire life, which they probably have been, like they haven't been ripped away from their friends every couple of years and sent to a new school, which they probably haven't. It doesn't' seem like any of them could be my friend. But then again, that's what I think every time, isn't it?~ 

Quote #2:

Arabella~

After what seems like forever, the bell rings. Students start picing up their things and chatting as they filter outside into the hallways. There seems to be an endless river of kids that I weave through as I make my way to my locker.

 There. My locker, number 194, is right in front of me. I speed-walk towards it, but somebody darts in front of me before I do. We crash into each other, and a hear a muffled, annoyed-sounding coment.

"Aaaah, I'm sorry!" I say, separating myself from the girl. Oh, hey - she's the daughter of Hades who hates people. That was probably the only intro I smiled at.

"Watch where you're going, " she says, turning away from me and crouching. I'm confused for a second and just stand there before I realize that my locker is the one above hers. I awkwardly scoot around her and try to open my locker from the side. It works, of sorts.

I have such a talent for being messy that it's literally the first day and I've filled up my locker. Books, Hamilton junk, and comics. So many comics. Some of the only things that keep me relatively sane. 

I want to do the Tolkien thread for the book review. It's areally awesome thread, with a lot of stuff to quote and comment on.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for mentioning my color game, Abigail!
