*Hello everyone, this is Quinn, Chai, Rogue, and--hey, where's Indy?*
/*laughs nervously*\
Chai lost her.
*CHAI! You promised you'd take good care of her!*
/I know! But then she got all nervous again and apparently nervousness is contagious, so I turned around to get her the emergency hoodie and myself some emergency chocolate, and then she was gone!\
[Quinn and Rogue look at each other and sigh.]
This summer project was a stupid idea.
*Chai, go find Indy. Rogue, stay here and help me start up this project, or we'll be in big trouble with Periwinkle.*
Fine. Take Two.
*Hello everyone, this is Quinn and Rogue. Periwinkle, our CBer, is making us do a summer project, so we created this... Support Group... To...*
... Share our feelings.
*AEs are not required (or really expected) to join by choice. CBers, this is something you can force your AEs to do. I know because Peri is forcing us to do it.*
Fill out the form below. Sorry if there are any typos. Chai made it.
AE Name:
CBer:
Dilemma(s):
Other:
*Alrighty, AEs, confess and complain here, and we'll all take turns offering advice, or something.*
Worst. Summer. Ever.
***
Because Quinn and Rogue spent most of the time complaining and very little of it explaining, I will do the explaining. This is a fun idea I thought could help develop our AEs and characters more, because from my experience my AEs grow the most in conversation with other AEs. This is not a place to ask for actual advice, more a place for AEs to complain about small problems such as annoying siblings, annoying CBers, too-small bedrooms, ect., ect. I'm excited to see where it goes!

Welcome, Reuby's AEs! Hmm... A pale person that wears a lot of black... Sounds familiar...
Rogue
A couple more AEs have fallen out of the ceiling. I recognize one from the party, but I don't remember their name. They glance at me and recognition flickers in their eyes. I'm not great with people nor do I usually enjoy being around them, but I give a small wave because, for some reason, I feel a strange pity for them.
/Chai\
/"/Dawn! I've missed you so much! I've been super good except also terrible because guess what! I'm running out of candy! But it's okay because you're here now! But Dawn? Why did you put a joke in your form?! It's very confusing.\" I can't understand why Dawn would joke about not having many friends. Of COURSE ae have friends. Duh! How could someone who has great hair and great taste in food and is super kind and nice and amazing not have friends?! Why could Dawn pretend not to?\
*~Indy~*
*~Chai has dragged me out and into the main room of the Center, where I see an AE looking at the abstract paintings and drawing in her sketchbook. "*~I like the abstract paintings, too,~*" I say, "*~And there's a few pointillism paintings in the other room.~*" I feel proud of myself. I'm doing it! I'm talking to someone!~*

/Chai\
/Now I'm really puzzled. "/So you really meant it? You don't have many friends?\" I pause. "/You have... No friends?\" I wonder if I count as a friend. Dawn counts as my friend! What is this feeling? Is this... Low confidence?! I'm suddenly worried that I'm a nuisance. Maybe this is why Rogue rolls her eyes every time I say something, or Quinn feels the need to explain respect and consent to me, or Indy says "*~Eek!~*" whenever she sees me.
I chew on my thumbnail. "/I'm gonna go... I'm gonna go get another cookie. I'll be right back, okay? Don't go. Please.\" I stop myself from adding it because it's stupid and melodramatic, even though I really want to promise Dawn that I can be a better friend.\
*Quinn*
*I pause. "*Hmm.*" Smart cookie, this girl. "*I'm stumped,*" I shrug. "*Do YOU know the answer?*"*
*~Indy~*
*~"*~Yeah, I'll show you,~*" I say. I lead the AE to a door on the left side of the main room. Inside this extra room are two couches facing each other (probably for one-on-one therapy sessions or something), but that's not the main event. The best thing about this room are the gorgeous pointillism paintings of forests and rivers hung around the room. "*~K-kinda cool, don't you think?~*"~*

Note: I love how it's literally just our AEs talking, Peri XD

“>Oh- Um- Okay…<” Dawn says next to me. Aer shoulders drop and ae sigh. “>I shouldn’t have said that…<” Ae mutter.
I frown. What’s happening?? Is Chai mad at Dawn? I don’t like people being upset. It makes me upset.
“Don’t worry,” I say, patting Dawn on the shoulder, “I gots this,” Ae narrow aer eyes at me.
“>Oliver, I don’t think-<”
“Nope!” I cut aer off, “I. Gots. This.” I stand up and make my way over to Chai and the cookies.
Aliza
“It’s a heart.” I say, smiling. Then I scowl. “Obviously.” I flip through the pages again. Lots of these I’ve seen in other books, but some I haven’t. I look at Quinn again. “Do you go to school? I do. Kind of.”
-Cassidy-
-The paintings! So perfect! “-Woaaahhhhh!-” I exclaim, turning around and looking at every single one. “-This isn’t just ‘kind of’ cool, this is epic!-” I note down some ideas in my sketchbook. I turn to the AE again. “-Do you think I could replicate these with those… bingo stamper things? Probably, right?-”-
#Tempest#
#Ugh. Cassidy left me to go with some other AE-- something about paintings. I lean against the wall and groan. No one is really here yet, and it’s borrinnggg. There are some Cricket Magazines on a little table next to me. I grab one and scan it, but put it back really quickly. What to doooo…#
(June 24, 2022 - 8:41 pm)
OK I FINALLY FINISHED THE DRAWING
But by the time I got to Oliver I kind of gave up, and I don't like Chai's hand, and I hate Dawn's feet, and I forgot to sign it so I just did it in my photos app 0.o

OH MY GOSH
WRITING
This, THIS is why you are going to be a world famous artist VERY soon.
/Wow! I LOVE it! I look SO pretty!\
Seriously though, the attention to detail--I'm never going to be able to draw like that. Amazing!
(btw, I can't post my AEs' POVs rn, I'll do it tonight though, sorry!)
(June 25, 2022 - 7:01 am)
Awwwww.wwI need one of Strawberry and Hour!They have not
spoke to any of your AEs, so probaly not :I
(June 25, 2022 - 8:28 am)
:Ellerie:
:Falling out of the the ceiling was low key AWESOME. I stare up because I kinda wanna do it again for no reason at all. What? It's exciting. But I seem to be the only one who enjoyed it. Yang groans loudly. "-HELP! I'VE FALLEN! I'VE BEEN HIT! AVENGE MEEEEEE-" he screams. No one's faltered or phased by it.:
:I quickly glimpse around. I subtly recognize most of the AEs here, but I haven't talked to most of them. I guess I haven't talked to as many as I thought I had, because I do consider myself an extrovert.:
-Yang-
THE PAIN! FALLING ON THE FLOOR HURTS! I don't know how El just immediately jumped up. Sun and I just kinda lay on the ground until Ellerie finally helps me up (YAYYYY I'M SAVED). I see cookies. I WANT cookies. I run to get the cookies. And I stuff like 20 in my mouth that I can fit my fist in. I wonder if there will be more snacks. I LOVE snacks.-
-I see someone with pale skin and long white hair. I sprint over to them after I finish my cookies. First victim. "-Hello I am Yang. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Do you per chance know where I may find some exotic pasta recipes?-" Best to seem normal before annoying.-
|Sun|
|I stand as Ellerie helps Yang up. He runs to get cookies. Ellerie and I just kinda stare at each other not knowing what to do for a few seconds but I walk over to a chair. I don't mind being here. I don't really recognize anyone, but then again I can't remember a face for the life of me. I should probably talk to someone.|
|i guess I can try talking to the... dragon person? I don't know who it is, probably a shapeshifter though. I don't know which AEs are shapeshifters. Anyways, they look kinda bored. So I casually walk up to them. "|Hey,|" I say.|

$Strawberry$
"Oof, falling from the ceiling hurts" I said rubbing my head, looking around. Abunch of other AEs stood talking to eachother. One I reaconised, I jumped up. And hopped over to him. He's moving in the direction of a aubun-ed hair AE. SUPER STRAWBERRY SPY MISSION COMMENSE! I think to my self. I bound over to them, yelling "OLIVER, AE I DON'T KNOW AND OLIVER! HI! Oliver, I made creame puffs for every one. Want one?"..
#Mhaya#
Grrr, why did falling on the floor have to hurt so much?! My head spins as I look around. Hours here and Strawberry too. Strawberry is bounding over to tan skined, brown and red hair AE. Hours just standing there, taking it all in. Looking like an absolute goddess, how does she make her hair seem to shine? And her skin glows?! I'm starting to think she's a fallin angel. The room is plain, with a few chairs and three or so tables with Cricket mags on them. And other than a few paintings, it's sparce and plain aswell.I dig through my bag. Hoping to find a book or my kindle. For some reason I find a small flute, must be Lores doing. I also find my phone, and decide to text Lore and Agua.
(Mhaya): LORE, HELP ME. I'm in a bland, white room with strangers ?CALL MOM, COME HERE, DO SOMETHING.....
I wait a few minuites.
(Mhaya): LORE, HELP ME. I'm in a bland, white room with strangers ?CALL MOM, COME HERE, DO SOMETHING....
(Lore): Ok.
A few more miniutes pass. Three more bodies fall from the ceiling, the tallest yells "MHAYA, WHERE ARE YOU?"..
%Hour%
Ow, that hurt. I stand up gracfully, or try to. I feel something on my arm, I look down..and scream...Out of happieness..

/Chai\
/Oliver follows me to the cookies, which I guess I should've predicted. "/Hi, Oliver,\" I say, letting my hair veil my face.\
*Quinn*
*"*Mmm... Not really,*" I shrug. "*School's kinda Peri's thing. I'm around during the musical rehearsals after school, though, and so's Indy sometimes.*" I look around. The Center looks sorta like the psych ward in Moon Knight--white, blank, pretty dang empty. "*This place gives me the creeps,*" I say.
(June 25, 2022 - 3:27 pm)
Wait...who scared Indy at the party? My AEs or some one elses AEs? DON'T SCARE THE SWEET, LITTLE BEAN THAT INDY IS!
(June 25, 2022 - 4:16 pm)
Tempest and Ellerie did XD
