Chatterbox: Down to Earth

A Visit

Unfamiliar sound filled the air as the figure walked down the street​. A girl's sigh came from the folds of its cloak. 

She hadn't been here in so long. She had grown apart from it, moved on to faster-paced, freer, bigger, wider, colder forums and websites. She had tried to return, but she always faded away again. 

She turned and entered an inn, booking a room.

"Ka Merikaconi" was her reply when asked what name to put it under. A new name. No, a title. Her true name was yet hidden. She had returned to the Chatterbox, the small, cozy forum of her eleventh and twelfth years, the one she had faded from in her thirteenth. But just for a little, for a short visit, and under a new name. 

She had not brought her alter egos or her pet. 

It had been a while, hadn't it? She stepped back out and took in Chatterbox City, skimming the various threads buzzing with names – some familiar, some new.

She sighed again. Her Chatterbox had changed so much... it would be interesting, though, to partake in a couple new topics, discuss some, just for a little.  

Even if no one knew who she was, it still felt better than lurking. And she never could hold her tongue.
