*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.

*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!

/"/CREAM PUFFS!?\" I almost forget to feel sad. But then I remember. Be normal, Chai. Don't be a nuisance. "/I m-mean, um, I'm okay. I'm not feeling very well. I think I ate too many cookies. But maybe later--they look delicious!\" I force a smile. Man, I really want a cream puff...\
*Quinn*
*"*Brother?*" My mind flickers back to the party and I remember--Aliza has an older brother. Two, actually, now, Oliver and Tempest. Tempest! Hey, that's the boy who scared Indy at the party. Hmm. "*No, it's not your brother, this place is just sort of strange. I dunno, it's probably just me.*"*
*~Indy~*
*~My eyes widen. "*~M-me? You really want to draw me?~*" I grin. "*~Okay!~*"~*

/Chai\
/Oliver breaks his cream puff in half, and cream starts oozing all over his hands. "Um. Can you... take this? I have to..." So I take one of the pieces of the cream puff and pop it in my mouth (oh, it's delicious) then take the other piece, pull a napkin (clean) out of my pocket, and wrap it in that. I now have cream all over my hands too, but I don't actually mind. I giggle. "/We look like Luz when she tried to pretend to be Willow's abomination!\" I grab his hand. "/I know where the bathroom is. C'mon, let's go wash our hands.\"\
Rogue
Ellerie, seeming bored, has come over to me. ":Hi.:" I raise an eyebrow. I mean to say hi, I really do, but instead I say, "Hey, aren't you the girl who freaked Indy out the party?"
*~Indy~*
*~"*~My name's Indigo,~* I say, "*~But I go by Indy. What's your name?~*"~*
*Quinn*
*I look at the closest Aliza is referring to. "*That's a weird noise,*" I say.*
~~~
I would just like to say... HI STARLI I MISSED YOU SO MUCH WELCOME BACK also sorry that's late I typed it up on another post but then my iPad *glares at iPad* deleted it and I forgot to retype it. Also, another thing I'm continually forgetting, my AEs' pronouns, which are luckily pretty easy, all of them use she/her except Quinn, who uses she/they.

-Yang-
-I feel kinda bad. This AE seems like GENUINELY nice. I like to annoy people but only when they try to annoy me back. "-Oh, okay. Good idea, sorry-" I walk away. And then I stare up at the ceiling and shift my appearance and age to closer around 10. That's kinda how I feel right now.-
:Ellerie:
:Oh. ":Um... yeah,:" I say, looking down, guilty, and thinking back to the party. I didn't mean to scare Indy, but I did anyways so it's still bad. That's not really where I expected this conversation to go, but I've learned never to expect. That way, everything's a surprise. It adds a hint of excitement to everyday life. I change the subject. ":You're Rogue, right?:":
|Sun|
|"|Yeah|" I know Tempest means "other" as in "other than Ellerie". It's cool I get to talk to her boyfriend, although I feel like I pretty much already know them because Ellerie talks a lot. I do feel slightly protective over Ellerie, but I don't think Tempest is a bad person, so I don't need to be. I don't really know what to say... "|Ellerie talks a lot about you.|" I smile. "|You seem pretty cool.|" After they reply, maybe I'll ask them about their hobbies. Best to plan ahead.|

/The bathroom, which is an all-gender one, is very big and has five sinks, which I'm happy about because I like odd numbers better than even numbers. As I wash the sticky cream from the cream puffs off my hands, I feel a need to apologize to Oliver. There might've been a way to avoid Oliver having stickiness all over his hands, or just getting in this mess in general. "/Sorry,\" I say.\
Rogue
Ellerie seems uncomfortable with my mentioning of Indy, so I don't push it. "Mm-hmm, I'm Rogue. I'm also hungry. The cookies here are terrible. I hate stale cookies. But of course, Chai's inhaling them--" Hey, where'd Chai go? Oh, what did she get herself into now? I sigh and pull a cupcake out of my pocket.
*Quinn*
*"Um... Okay...*" I say, doing as Aliza has told me to and trying not to think about the fact that I am taking orders from an 8-year-old girl.*
*~Indy~*
*~I gasp. Cassidy just drew a simple sketch, but I think it's beautiful. "*~Wow, that's really good!~*" I say.~*

@Writing, do you think we could ship Oliver and Strawberry? If it's ok with you. The would be so cute and spastic together! UWU
(June 27, 2022 - 10:26 am)
Hm... Maybe? I only just introduced him, and I'd like to develop him a bit more before I ship him. Not to mention I don't know much about Strawberry either, but I will keep thinking about it <3 I'm sure they'll still make great friends!

^Lavender^
^"OOOOF!OW, FALLING WITH A CACTUS IN YOUR POCKET HURTS!" I yelled. Cretesa slapped me on the back of the head, "stop yelling. Everybody allready thinks your wierd, even if you didn't have birght purple hair and wear dirtstained pastel clothing, you weirdo" " I'm not a weirdo, your the weirdo! Wait..I am a weirdo. I'M A WERIDO!" I yelled, getting some funny looks. I laughed looking around. I wonder, what would happen if I put/hid plants everywhere. I smiled devsiously. Heheh I'll hide them everywhere!^
That's all I got for right now..

/Oliver flicks water everywhere and laughs. Laughs are contagious, I guess, and so I start laughing too. Then we're just throwing water around and laughing for a while until eventually I ask, "/Do you think Dawn's okay? Maybe we should go find aer, unless ae don't want to be my friend anymore...\" I pull at a strand of hair, an old habit of Peri's I always throught was so weird, but I guess I get now.\
*Quinn*
*Aliza has slipped her headphones over my head. "*Woah, the noise is completely gone!*" These headphones work well. "*You want to try?*"*
*~Indy~*
*~Cassidy wants to see my drawings?! Ohhh kayyyyy....
I have to get myself together and gather up my courage as I pull my sketchbook out of my hoodie pocket. "*~W-well, I drew, some, um, pictures of Wanderer, our resident CAPTCHA... I'm... Not sure if you can tell, but she's an... Owl?~*" I was actually pretty proud of this, because I liked how regal she looked, but now I'm noticing every little mistake. Oh, I hope Cassidy thinks it's okay...~*
Rogue
Ellerie also has cupcakes in her pocket. Rare I meet another person who truly understands their importance and their beauty. Cupcakes can be used for so many things--A snack, a weapon, a plug for when you're in a canoe that Chai built but it got a big hole in it because Chai built it, the list goes on.
I guess I should attempt to start a conversation, or something, but I don't really know what to say. I point to Yang. "He's the exotic pasta recipes weirdo that's bugging you, yeah?"
