Chatterbox: Down to Earth
In the center
In the center of CB Square, two AEs sit side by side on a bench.
One of them is slumped over the railing, supported only by his hand. A gray dog ear sprouts from his head, flopping over his sleeping face. The other is sat bolt-upright on the bench, his polished black shoe tapping on the street as he looks out across CB Square, a slight scowl on his face. He waits a moment as the other AE snores quietly, then bursts out suddenly.
"Look at that!" he snaps, gesturing to the other AEs as they romp around.
"Huh? Whuzzat?" his brother snorts, jerking up with eyes still half-closed in sleep. He turns to the other AE, whose dark violet eyes are slitted in annoyance.
"All those... other AEs!"
His brother smiles in hesitant disbelief, not quite understanding what he's hearing. "...you gotta problem with them?" The purple AE shakes his head as if he's astounded by his brother's idiocy.
"Argh, no, but... I mean, there's just so many of them! With this new influx of CBers--"
"--influx, nice word," the dog-eared AE adds in.
"--I can't keep track of them all! And let's be real, 8, we haven't exactly been the best with meeting every AE that pops into existence. I really do need to know what some of them are up to." The other AE scratches his head, admitting the truth. "So you know what I have decided?"
"What is it, Mew?" 8-Piece asks, rolling his eyes. MewFour paused for a moment, building up the dramatic tension.
"We," he said. "Are holding an AE RP."
"Another?" 8-Piece groans, shifting his position on the bench. "Isn't there, like, one on Inkwell already?"
"Perhaps there's anoher school; I didn't see," MewFour said, waving the comment off. "What I mean," he grinned, turning to face 8-Piece. "Is that we hold an RP of the best kind. The most interesting kind. And we hold it at a manor."
"Eww--"
"That's by the sea."
8-Piece pauses for a moment, thinking. "...I'm listening. What are we doing there, though?"
"Oh, you know, the usual," MewFour says. "Socializing, eating, allowing those other AEs to get up to shenanigans, turning the eye to the haunted and venegful souls that roam the hallway and may cause a plot centerpiece sooner or later--I got a great deal for the mansion, really. And displaying that extraordinary library that came with it!"
"*Showing Quill, *alone," 8-Piece coughs. MewFour glares at him for a second, his cheeks coloring slightly, before moving on. "And guess what? I am the host! I will run it all. Anything the AEs want to do, any questions they have, will all be directed back to me. Telekinesis can come in so handy, don't you know." MewFour snapped his fingers. The next second, two violet-glowing hands appeared, appearing to made out of pure light. "Anytime an AE desires something, they simply need to shake a hand--I can create many, many more--and with my aid, they will fetch it."
"And what do I do?" 8-Piece asked, catching onto the idea.
"You," MewFour said, clearly enjoying the anticipation. "Will cook! You can bake and confectionize, and organized and assort anything you like." 8-Piece's eyes glowed, and he leapt off the bench, hopping from one foot to the other.
"Oh, oh, and here--" One of the hands darted away and returned with a pen and paper, and MewFour hastily scribbled something down on a sheet, then handed it to 8-Piece.
"Name, Age, Appearance, Personality, Crushes or relationships, and CBer," 8-Piece murmured, reading out the sheet. "Sounds good to me! And ah, let's call it... 8-Piece and MewFour's Really Cool Ocean Manor Trip RP!"
MewFour winced slightly. "Or just: AE Masion RP."
"That works too," 8-Piece said, shrugging. "Well, come on! Let's go!" MewFour stared after his brother as he dashed into the CB Square, already attracting a crowd of curious AEs. He sighed, a rare smiling gracing his face, then followed close behind.

(January 31, 2017 - 10:30 pm)
Only one AE is coming.
Yes, enough talk. I am Ajani, a telepathic, telekanetic, and tabby cat. I like to play board games, and trade many types of collectable cards. I also like turning spinnich into rabbits using my absolute favorite spell.
Yes, this will be interesting.

My, that's quite a few AEs! We'll start on... how about... this Friday? Have your CBers drive you to the Mansion.
*snrk* Don't you mean Masion? I saw how you misspelled it.
I! Meant to do that! It's Mansion anyways. On Friday we begin! *lightning strikes*

I know it's late, but Estella would love to come.
I would? I'm not that great of a swimmer....
You're a fine swimmer.
I think I might get sick on the day I leave for the mansion. Unfortunate, but, uhhh...
*Gives Estella a look*
Ok, Ok I'm going.
Name: Estella
Age: Ageless
Appearance: Small. Long, brown hair and big eyes.
Personality: Can be worried or nervous. Very sarcastic, but in a joking manner and not in a mean way. Likes to talk, but she has to be a little familiar with a person to have a meaningful conversation.
Crushes or Relationships: Undecided
CBer: Trebel Clef
Other: I'm new here, so this is my first AE RP. Estella is looking to make new friends and meet new people. I hope I'm not too late to join.

**
Tiny pebbles scattered under the tires as your car rolled over the gravel, the grinding just audible. Your CBer, who was driving the car, glancing back at you for a second, asking if you really wanted to do this. You nodded steadfastly to them. Of course you wanted to do this! Then you heard the soft pitter-patter of rain on your window, and peered out as a large building came into view.
The spires of the mansion stretched up to the sky, ending in peaks. The body of the building was wide and capacious, with a dark, massive bulk that towered over the landscape. As you stepped out of the car, the umbrella inflating over your head, you wondered what kind of treasures could be hidden in the attics. Walking up to the step beside your CBer, you spotted a few other AEs loitering beside the door. With a twinge of annoyance you wondered where MewFour was, and what he could possibly be doing. Sure, he was a bit of a bitter AE, but he was hosting this, after all. Shaking rain out of your hair, you sheathed the umbrella and squeezed yourself onto the step, uncomfortably shuffling around the other AEs and CBers.
"Does anyone know when it's starting?" someone called out, their hand shooting up. A murmur swelled from the group, but at least everyone agreed that no one was sure. Finally, after a few minutes, there was some scuffling from inside. You pricked your ears, hoping to catch something, and faintly you heard a few words.
"...come on, it's just a tie!"
"It's never just a tie! The neatness and cleanliness of clothing always matters, 8-Piece!"
"It is RAINING, MewFour! They are standing out there in the RAIN!"
"They can wait a minute..."
"GO, for Admins' sake!!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going. But--"
"WHAT?"
"Give me a moment to prepare a speech."
*groan*
Shaking your head in exasperation, you waited for MewFour to appear at the door. After a second, there was a sharp rapping, and the doors slowly creaked wide, the time clearly being drawn out for dramatic effect. Then you jumped, startled, as they were flung wide open and a silhouetted figure appeared as lightning flashed in the sky. You chuckled quietly under your breath as you heard him barely hold back a 'Mwahahahaha!'
"Hello, all," he said, his voice low. "And welcome to the AE Mansion RP!"
"Masion," a voice whispered from behind.
"Silence, 8-Piece," MewFour growled, to a yelp of laughter from his brother. "Anyways, come in! It's a powerful gale out there, you best not stay for any longer."
"We had to endure it for time enough," someone said under their breath, to giggles from a few other AEs. Most of the CBers rose to their feet and tried to walk inside the mansion, but with a titter MewFour stepped behind the crowd and gently pushed them away.
"Ah-ah-ah," he said, smirking. "This is an AE Mansion RP, not a CBer Mansion RP. I'm afraid this is an AE establishment from now on."
"But--" someone started, but MewFour cut them off.
"My answer is final, CBers," he said softly, his eyes flashing. The CBers sighed, turning away. A few cast glares at MewFour, muttering under their breath, but the purple AE just shook his head, pushing the doors closed. As he made his way to the office he'd claimed as his own, he passed his brother, who held out a hand to stop him.
"Was that really the best way to get them out of here?" 8-Piece murmured, rolling his eyes. "I mean, I know you're a thespian and very, very dramatic, but come on..."
"What's done is done," MewFour said stoutly. "Now, we have cooking and cleaning, preparing guests and activities. Let's get to it." 8-Piece nodded his head, hopping off the table he was slouched over, and dashed off down the hall.
You stumbled aside as 8-Piece ran by you, nearly tripping as he vanished around a corner. Quick on his (literal) tail was MewFour, the violet bracelet on his wrist oddly glowing. Sighing, you heard the host and the caterer's footsteps disappear down the hall, and you took a deep breath. Though your nerves were on end, excitement still filled your body. This was it!
Looking down at the scrap of paper you'd been given bearing your room and roommate, you closed your eyes in a moment of preparation and headed for it.
**
Room and roommate list:
Secret and Charybdis- Teal Room
Ajani and Feather- White Room
Devil Owl and Anna- Violet Room (MewFour's personal favorite room)
Counter and Jammira- Pink Room
Basil and Eo-Lahallia- Blue Room (8-Piece's personal favorite room)
Doublock and Pseudonym- Orange Room
Danie and Niccolai- Yellow Room
Rosario and Grey- Gray Room, appropriately
Quill and Squeak- Silver Room (8-Piece: Also MewFour's favorite room... *lenny face* Mew: S-stop it, go back to your cakes!!)
Zeon and Sriracha- Green Room
**
Remember, no switching rooms unless there's some specific reason or beef between you and your roommate! Which, then, of course, I might keep purely for entertainment.
Don't be that mean!
I'm only joking... somewhat. Anyways, AEs, you may of course begin RPing after this post comes out. Remember- speak to my hands *snaps finger and ten psychic-energy hands appear* and then to me if you need assistance, and speak to 8-Piece about breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or accommodations. If I have an announcement to make, I will make a post myself about it.
Now...
let us begin.
*lightning*
Ooooh, so spoOoOooOky!
(February 3, 2017 - 11:23 pm)
*facepalms*
You've done this twice now, you realize.
I'm aware.
You really shouldn't be the host of this...
Oh, hush! Very well, since I was too--
Forgetful? Silly?
--preoccupied to remember this, Estella will be sharing a room with Basil and Eo-Lahalla. Forgive me, Estella, I merely didn't see yours until I posted the above thread.
(February 3, 2017 - 11:54 pm)
Hello, Feather. Do you play any board games? I am Ajani, your roomate.
(February 4, 2017 - 12:29 am)
The pink room! Pink! They ought to know how much I hate that color! And just look at my roommate-
Isn't he the one who threw a sandwich at your hair? And the one who makes you blush when he walks into the room?
He does NOT make me-
*Counter walks past: Both he and Jammira blush*
Okay, maybe a little....
Anyways, I'm happy with my room assignment.
Let's just continue the RPing....
Jammira:
I walk through the echoing halls of the mansion, in step with Basil. We both stare at the fixtures with awe. We've never seen so much wealth in all of our lives. I guess you could expect that from a couple AEs that live in the basement of a library and have to work three part time jobs to pay for groceries. I look at the map given to me, and I see that our rooms are as far from each other as possible. His is downstairs and I am on the third floor. I turn the corner and begin to fly up the flights of stairs.
(February 4, 2017 - 7:54 am)
Secret~
The scrap of paper said that I would be in the teal room, with Charybdis. The teal room has a nice view of the sea. The curtains flutter in the wind. It's pretty. Maybe the owners of this place should become interior designers.
The beds are spread with nice sheets and a abstract blue and teal colored quilt. The pillows are stuffed with down. A ship's wheel is mounted on the door, and on the coffee table there is a bottle of sand and shells. a fan is on the ceiling. The lamp was an inticate piece of metal and hanging lightbubs. I love it here.
Time to unpack.
Pseudonym~
I am in the orange room with Doubock. It's pretty cool. Doublock hasn't arrived yet, so I have it all to myself. Secret seems pretty happy here. I like it too. My room is a cool mordern-y place. But honestly, I think I'd rather go explore. So I will.
(February 4, 2017 - 10:58 am)
"Have a great time, both of you. Stay safe. Goodbye!" I call after the receding forms of my AEs. They'll be alright, I reassure myself, getting back into my car. As the tires crunch over the gravel, I wonder, When did I even get a driver's license? The thought soon leaves my mind as I head home.
»--›★‹--«
When I enter the mansion, I'm presented with a piece of paper. Being presumably constructed of water, I cannot hold it, so I read it. It's a list of the attendees of the event, and my name is at the top. "Secret and Charybdis: Teal Room," I mutter to myself. Great, I have a roommate.
I make my way to my designated room, soaking the hallway, and barge through the door. My 'roommate' is already inside, sitting cross-legged on one of the beds, unpacking. The room is nice, the colour scheme a bit brighter than I'm used to, but it will have to suffice. At least it's got a clear view of the sea.
The girl who is presumably Secret looks at me in a sideways manner, as if unsure what to make of me. "You must be Charybdis," she says eventually. "Er.. hi."
Spray from my whirlpool had splashed on her and I edge away a little. She doesn't look too happy about her wet hair, but I do not hasten to apologise. "What are you going to do, put me in an aquarium?" I snap instead, whirling a bit faster. Eventually I decide that I'm taking the wrong approach. "Hello, I suppose," I mutter. It's going to be a long stay.
»--›★‹--«
I skim down the list, locating my name. "Basil and Eo-Lahallia: Blue Room," I read, bouncing a little at the note beside our names: "8-Piece's personal favourite room." I switch into my starling form, fluttering away through the mansion to find the Blue Room, carrying the list in my tiny talons.
I can't wait to meet Basil! I let out a little trill of excitement, swooping through the halls until I find a door painted in a lovely blue colour. I turn briefly into a raccon, using nimble paws to open the door. I push it open, switching back to starling form upon entering the room.
It's a beautiful room. Its pale sky-blue walls are painted with white clouds, and a large window on the far wall gives me a view of the real sky. The window has billowing royal blue curtains.
The room itself is a very cozy space; relatively small, with an pretty rug on the carpeted floor. There is one bed on either side of the room. They are identical, with periwinkle sheets and pillows, topped by patchwork quilts. The quilts are simple but beautiful, patches coloured by every shade of blue imaginable.
I settle down on the bed on the left side of the room, dropping my list on the nearby desk. Excitement thrills through me once more. I can't wait to start this adventure!

Sorry if I controlled Secret too much! This is going to be a fun roleplay.
