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.

I walk into my room, and my catbed and cat tower and infinite board game bag float in. There is a bed whoch will probabably be somebody else's, so I leap onto it and start messing up the blankets. Its fun being a cat.
(February 4, 2017 - 11:54 am)
"Wait, what?" cried Feather, staring at her scrap of paper. "I'm rooming with a cat?"
"Well, too bad," replied Dev. "Look at who I'm rooming with!"
"Can we switch?"
"nOT ON YOUR LIFE!"
Feather groaned. Oh well. It sucked having a "brother" who hated cats. But, well, a telepathic, telekinetic one would be cool. And she liked board games. They could play Scrabble!
Still, she would much rather be roomed with Quill . . .
Ah, they'd get together later.
Dev had already darted off to who-knew-where. She hoped he was going to his room to be acquainted with Anna, but it was unlikely; probably he was going to sniff out Zeon and go surfing or something. Anna might like surfing, Feather realized. She should tell Zeon.
Meanwhile, Feather had to deal with a cat.
Ajani was sitting on her cat bed, grooming herself and ignoring Feather when she arrived. The latter noticed her bed was a mess. Well, cats; what could you do? She smoothed out the sheets and placed her bag on them, digging around inside for a moment before finding what she needed.
"Hey, Ajani," said Feather, holding out the thing. "Want to play Scrabble?"
(February 4, 2017 - 12:26 pm)
I am a male cat. And yes, I would like to play Scrabble, if you will learn how to play Coup.

"Good-Bye! You better hope I don't get into any trouble," I yell to my CBer, and laugh. She waves back, and smiles knowing I'm joking. I'm a little nervous to be apart from my CBer, but I step into the masion anyway. When I'm far away from the door, I laugh a little to myself. I guess I think it's funny how my CBer couldn't come into the masion. "AE's only," I think, and I know that while I will most likely miss my CBer, I will have a great time here. I look at that slip and map I was given. My room is the blue room, with two other roomates. I cautiously walk through the masion. My room isn't that far away, but it isn't that close either. Once I find my room, I put my bags down and start exploring. I run through the masion My feet pound the floor, and I begin to get nervous that I'm lost. I put that worry in the back of my mind. How am I supposed to explore or do anything if I keep getting worried? I smile, laugh, and keep running. I know I can't get lost if I stay inside the masion. My breaths get faster and faster, and suddenly I decide to stop. I catch my breath, and look at the map to figure out where I am. It takes me a little long to find where I've gone, but my room isn't as far as I thought it was. I jog slowly to calm myself down, and find my room. When I sit there, I collaspe on my bed. Running makes me feel tired at first, but then more alive and aware. When I'm done resting, I neaten myself up. Now what? I think about all the CBer's I've never met before. I know I would probably like to sit and relax, but I push myself to go out the door anyway. This place seems to be always moving, and I can't miss out because I go to slow.

"Yellow Room? Eh, I'll spraypaint it rainbow later," She smirks, staring at the small slip of paper in her hand. "See ya later nerd!"
"I'm not a nerd, I'm a respectabl--She's already gone," Squeak sighs. "Oh, well, who am I rooming with again?"
Squeak looks at his slip of paper. "Quill. Wonder who that is."
Squeak walks over to the silver door with the words 'Silver room' scratched onto it. Squeak looks at it with slight distaste.
"I suppose I'll have to replace that with a plaque," He muttered. Opening the door, he saw that Quill was already inside and unpacking her stuff. The first thing that came into Squeak's mind was that she looked like a bird, with large blue feathered wings.
"Hello, Quill! It is a pleasure to meet you," Squeak said, his hands behind his back in a very egotistical way.

Basil-
My room is on the first floor, near the kitchen. Midnight snacks, anyone? I walk into my room to see it completely furnished in shades of blue. It seems to have an ocean theme, with walls adorned with seashell and seaglass tiles. I seem to be the first in the room, so I claim the bedroom with the window view and start to unpack my stuff. By the time I have my stuff unpacked, the bookshelves in the room are filled to bursting and I've and to jam any novels that wouldn't fit on the shelves under the bed.One of the advantages of living in a library is that you get all the discards. So what if the last page is missing? It's still a good story. Until the end.
Jammira~
I enter my room to see that Counter's already here.
"Oh, um, hi," I say, blushing. I have a crush on the boy who chucked a sandwhich at me on the first day of school. I really need to get my priorities straight. Still, he's really cute. And athletic. And I don't think he really meant for that sandwhich to land on me....
"Jammira? Jammira?"
I relize I've been staring.
"Oh, um sorry."
I grab my small bag and dash into the roomk they've provided for me. It ahs a window, and I have a stunning view of the surrounding area from all the way up here. I unpack my things (which aren't many) and put my quilt on the bed. Then I get changed into clothes thata aren't soaked and walk back out into the main part of the room I share with Counter.

I walk across the marble floor of the AE mansion, thinking not about it, but about the sea outside. Maybe there would be time for sailing tonight. Well, anyway, I am in the Violet room with....... I sigh. Why put me with him? This is going to be a long vacation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I find the Violet Room, where the other AE is already unpacking his things. I drop my backpack on the other bed, and say, "You know that I'm not any happier about this than you are." He just shrugs, and goes back to unpacking. After I finish, I run outside. The rain has stopped, and the sky is graced with a beautiful sunlight. I grin, and start rigging a boat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, at one point, someone comes to call me in for dinner. I am deliriously happy (Though not actually delirious) and don't even mind coming inside. The food is amazing, and pretty soon, I walk back to the Violet Room, and fall into a dreamless sleep.

Doublock~
I pop my head through the door of the orange room, Pseudonym was already there. "Hello!" I say. I didn't know Pseudonym that well, but I hoped it worked out... it was too bad Bolton wasn't able to come.
Niccolai~
I drag my bag into the room and plop I'd down on the unoccupied bed. Yellow, disgusting. Danie was already there and she was pulling out bottles of spray paint. Was she going to...? Oh no! She started striping the walls RAINBOW!!! Gah... I need some black wallpaper. Now.
Grey~
I walk down the halls scanning the doors for the Gray Room. Here and there I pass other Æs going in and out of doorways. I catch a glimpse of the interior of the yellow room and see Niccolai face down on his/her bed while her roommate spray painted everything rainbow. This was not going to end well. I walk past and see the Gray room. So far Rosario wasn't there so I grab the bed by the window.

By the way, just out of curiousity-- Ajari is pronounced ah-har-ee, right?
(February 5, 2017 - 12:55 pm)
Wait, I think I mispelled it: his name is spelled Ajani, and is pronounced Ayjahny
(February 5, 2017 - 11:26 pm)
Counter~
I quickly scan the list, searching for my name. Here it is: Counter and Jammira, Pink room. Jammira!? But she's a girl! I'm a boy! We're sharing a room?! This is akward. Maybe we'll just share a bathroom or something.
I hurry up the stairs to find my room. The doors are color-coded, so I easily spot the shocking pink, which can only be mine. The color is so bright it almost makes my head ache. I unlock the door with the ornate metal key they gave me.
As soon as I step in I am hit with a wave of pink. Everything in the room is different hues of the same color, the walls, the carpet, even the furniture. I think I'm in the common room, which has two doors on opposite sides of the room. Inside I find a small bed and other furniture, all painted- pink.
I plunk my suitcase on the bed. It's close to the window and I have a lovely view of the house nextdoor. Not the ocean. I'm on the wrong side of the house.
I open a dresser which has been painted rose with wavy light pastel lines and pack away my clothing. After deciding I don't feel like making the bed, I leave my bedroom and go back into the entrance room. I'm curious about what's behind the other door, and find another bedroom identicle to the one where I put my things. I guess it must be Jammira's. Thank goodness we don't have to actually share a bedroom. That would be weird.
I open the blinds in the common room, which unfortunatly also show the backside of next door's house. At least I can let a bit of light in. I flop onto the couch and close my eyes.
Bang! The door opens and I start to my feet. Jammira is standing in the doorway, blinking.
"Oh, um, hi," she says uncomfortably. I guess she must feel the same way about sharing a room with someone of the opposite gender as I do. I wait for her to come in, but she doesn't. She just stares at me, most likely wondering how soon she can switch rooms.
"Jammira?" I tentativly ask. I get no response. "Jammira?" I try again. She starts.
"Oh! Um, sorry," she mutters, then dashes into her bedroom. I can hear her unpacking and I start to explore the common room. To my delight, there is a tall bookshelf on each side of the window, and I quickly settle down with a book. Jammira comes back in and seats herself next to me on the couch. Startled, I leap up.
"Sorry, do you want me to move?" I ask quickly. She looks a bit shocked.
"What? No, you don't have to move. It's just a couch." I slowly sit back down. Jammira scares the heck out of me, ever since I hit her on the head with a sandwich on the first day of school. I sent her an appoligy letter, but I have no idea if she's forgiven me, or if she even got the letter.

(Sorry they started a bit late, I've been sick)
Quill ~
Ashlee leaves us in the pouring rain and races back to her taxi. Such a shame she's been so sick. Glancing around, I catch sight of some old friends and other AEs who are groaning due to the rain. I am left in udder shock that people hate this weather, it is very peaceful, pleasing. Within a few minutes, MewFour arrives with 8-Piece by his side, and he gives a wonderfully written speech.
* * *
After a brief tour of the place, I find myself outside of the silver room. I am extremely grateful, silver is one of my favorite colors. Although I am quite shocked to discover the name "Squeak" next to mine. Who on earth is that? Pushing open to the door, I automatically claim the bed on the left and begin to unpack. So... quiet. Albert, my baby albino sea turtle, is placed on the dresser carefully. He looks up to me with bright little eyes and drifts back off to sleep. My sweet little thing.
As I finish unpacking, the door swings open to reveal a short, gray-haired AE unlike any I've ever seen before. He gives me a quick look then introduces himself.
"Hello, Quill! It's a pleasure to meet you."
Instantly, I am put on guard by his optimistic personality but keep it well concealed within myself.
"Ahm... Hello there. You must be Squeak."
The boy nods and goes over to the silver bed across from mine, throwing his bags on the ground. They bounce open and he instantly starts throwing stuff on the shelves. What have I gotten myself into? I'd rather be rooming with Feather, or even my own brother than this... AE.
Ah well, I take a deep breath, and check the map to find a library. Instantly, I find one across the mansion. With my book bag slung over my shoulder and Albert now in my shirt pocket, I make my way quickly out of the room, closing the door behind me.
* * *
I find the library huge, filled with thousands of old, beautiful books. The room calms my senses, and I instantly start searching the ancient books for wonderful bits of information. This is when I... Run across someone I know very well. A good friend of mine, one might say.
Zeon ~
I throw my bags into my room, quickly introduce myself to my roommate, and race through the hallways in search for my friends. I turn a corner to see a cloaked figure slip into a giant room. I slow down and follow the figure to the doorway, realizing it's a library. Who else is in there besides Quill, her eyes wide, staring at the cloaked figure in awe, and the figure him/herself. I race down the hall after hearing my name, before seeing who the AE was. After all, I have a feeling it was Mew, who absolutely hates me. Yeah, don't want to be seen by him right now.
I follow the sound of the person calling me to run straight into my group of classic friends. Who happen to be in an ARCADE. We spend some time playing video games, my wiping them all out first try. Then losing. Then winning. We all laugh the old gang back together again. We learn that 8's amazing at the classic Mario Kart while Dev - who I haven't seen in AGES! - is amazing at a combat game. We eat lunch and hang out for the rest of the day.
Even if Mew owns this place, I think I'll really like it here. Although one thought bugs my itching, crazy mind - who was that figure in the library?
