Chatterbox: Down to Earth
"Are you sure
"Are you sure about this?" Icy asked, hints of concern showing through her neutral voice. "I'm fine." The new AE murmured. "Besides, you haven't posted anyth--" The new AE began.
Icy contemplated slamming a hairbrush down onto the coffee table to interrupt the new AE (dramatic, no?), but instead gave the new AE an ice-blue glare. "I haven't posted anything because I care about you." Icy stated. "But you're making Nar-Three hate me!"
"I'm making Thirty put up with you." Icy corrected, beaming as she lifted a hand mirror from the coffee table and turned it on her AE. "Is that good?"
The new AE lifted her eyes to stare at her own reflection in the mirror.
It was almost as if a pallette of the softest blues and purples of sunset had come together to make her hair. It was mostly a stunning periwinkle, yet highlighted with different light blue-purple and purple-blue variations. A few spare words and papers drifted down from her hair as her creation finished.
She lifted a small hand to touch her hair, then reached for the mirror and angled it at herself. Her skin was a lighter, mix-raced tan (nothing gorgeous, just slight tan), and her build was slightly smaller than average. She held herself in a way that made her appear small, slight, and cautious--as if she were fragile and knew it.
Her eyes... She met her own gaze, expecting it to be a beautiful green, blue, or maybe even galaxy. But--they were none of those. She blinked, hoping it would clear her vision and show her what the real color of her eyes were. But no. They were just a plain, dark brown.
"Are you ready for the CB yet?" Icy asked, bringing the new AE back into the present. She gulped. "Yes."
The only thing she needed was a name.

Awesome!! Hey guys, there's a new AE on the CB! Say hi!
Hey, I'm Night Vision! Call me Night. I love your hair description! Mine's pretty boring. *tugs on black/cobalt blue hair* So, uh, what do you like to do? (I'm really not the best at starting conversations)
Sam, say hi.
*takes out one earbud* Huh?
Sam, there's a new AE. You're supposed to say hi.
Oh. Hey. *puts earbuds back in*
*eyeroll* That's Samantha --
Call me Sam or I'll kill you.
That's a little harsh, Sam.
*shrugs*
*sigh* Sam's the way I express the colder, slightly jerkier, more sensible (and boring) side of me. Anyway, those are my AEs. Nice to meet yours!

Oh, great! I'm super excited to introduce her to some new people!
Hi! I'm super glad to meet you, Night Vision--sorry, I mean Night. So sorry! I don't think your hair's that boring at all! I like to craft, but I don't really show any of my work to anyone. I don't really want them to think that I'm, well, horrible at it. I'm not great at starting conversations either--er, not that I think you're horrible at it or anything! I mean...uh...Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to...sorry.
The new AE seemed socially inadept. Or, at least, having anxieties about social interaction that rendered her socially inept. Amusing.
Thirty! You can be rude to her later--
What?
--but for now, this is her thread.
I was being rude?
Hi Samantha! It's awesome to meet you!
(September 24, 2018 - 5:11 pm)
Hey! Thanks about the hair, though I still think yours is more awesome. *grins awkwardly* I almost want to see your crafts, but I don't know, I mean, if you don't want to show me that's fine too, I understand... *tugs on hair* I like to craft too, though I'm more interested in drawing. Hey Sam, she said hi to you!
*takes one earbud out again* Huh?
*sigh* Sam, she said it's awesome to meet you!
Oh. Thanks. *puts earbud back in*
*eyeroll* Well, nice to meet you!

Sup, Icy's AE? It's nice to meet you! If you don't mind, I have some name suggestions based on what you've said about her:
Jade
Twilight
Moon
Storm
Galaxy
Sealight (or Sea Light, however you want to vary it)
Hope this is helpful, and I can't wait to meet your new AE!A
(September 24, 2018 - 4:31 pm)
Thanks, Soren!
The names laid out in front of Icy's trio were all interesting, and would fit the new AE equally well.
I definitely agree.
I like Jade most. It's a gemstone name, but also a normal/natural name, instead of something like Amethyst or Topaz. And Jade seems to fit well with the names of all the other AEs...
Hm? ❄stares at the new AE thoughtfully for a moment❄
Anyways, I'll be considering Jade most of all--though all of those names are great! However, I'm still going to keep looking in my free time. Any other name suggestions from you Chatterboxers would be great! Thanks--thank you so much! *beams*

HEY! GUYS!
What do you waant?
New AE is here!
*Jumps up, runs over* Hi, I'm Skylar, nice to meet you!
Hey! 3Q! *snaps in front of his face*
What?
New AE.
Oh. OH! I'm Third-Quarter, but you can call me 3Q.
I'm Q1, or First-Quarter. Welcome.
Elena says, "maga". I wonder what that means....
(September 24, 2018 - 5:15 pm)
Hi, Skylar! It's great to meet you! *Grins*
3Q...? Q1? Who gave you those names? Those are, uhm--I'm so sorry! They're really nice names! It's just that I find them unique! I--sorry.
You literally live with an AE named Narrator Thirty-Three. I think their names are super cool. Having AEs after phases of the moon is a neat idea.
*Whispered* Icy, go away! Myr. -m-
Nyer. -m-
Anyways, nice to meet you guys!

I'm letting my new AE (gosh, can't wait until I get her a name!) go get...I think she wanted to play Pokemon Go?
Didn't the CBer know that that game was grossly outdated and not to be discussed?
HEY!
The other people around the CBer must have wondered about it... But they, of course, would hold the same beliefs as this Narrator--that the Chatterboxer would not be judged on her choice of games.
Aww...Well, anyways. A few things about her.
1. She tries to please everyone as much as possible. This might have been obvious because of her dialogue. This can lead to her acting really, really socially awkward and crazy, though she's genuinely kind.
2. She's straight, though I have no problem with people who do have diverse characters or are diverse.
3. She's open to shipping, though it won't be the main point of her as a character. If you want to casually ship her with one of your AEs, but not revolve around it, then she's free. Since she takes things socially a bit too seriously, I would love to see her in a relationship with an AE who could accidentally/even not accidentally hurt her feelings. I have two reasons for that.
First off, she probably couldn't be in a relationship that works out very well, because she would get so stressed socially. That's my natural reason for it. I'm gonna be honest here, though, the second reason is really just the writer in me wanting to make it. So second, I've noticed that a lot of AE relationships have been pretty good on both sides. I want her to be in a relationship that doesn't work out. ...Yeah, I know, it's a horrible reason. I can just see her as a person fitting into that situation so well.
4. She actually has a weird temper that can flare up occasionally. I doubt you'll see much of it. If she does get mad at someone or yell at them, she'll spend the rest of the day feeling horrible about it.
5. If anyone has advice on making her better, please--GIVE IT TO ME I NEED IT. GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
...I mean, yeah, that's all.
(September 24, 2018 - 5:32 pm)
Icy! I love her already! She's an incredibly well-made Æ even without a name. She's really interesting and I want to know more about her!
And when you mentioned the shipping part, I thought...maybe Jarnen...but no. Not yet.
(September 25, 2018 - 8:00 am)
Thanks!
I noticed that you were bringing your AEs back. I'm super excited to see them on the CB again. (Sorry for not posting on the actual thread, it was at no comments at the time and I'm always too lazy to top...maybe I'll make an awkward comment later)
Yeah. Uh, sorry for removing Chi--
Who?
The, uh, chili's food. Sorry, Jarnen, but I really had to get rid of her. I mean it. The chili's food.
But anyways, thank you again. It really means a lot.
(September 25, 2018 - 2:19 pm)
This is going to be awkward...I haven't used him in so long.
*strolls in, unsuspecting*
*freezes* (Ha-ha)
Uhh. Oh. Geez. It's...someone new? What about...*realizes something* Oh, yes! I did always love food from Chili's. I think. Which, now that I think about it, is...nevermind. N-nice to meet you.
*backs out the door*

Hi there! I’m Fidelity.
~Salut! I’m georgia, fidelity’s captchæ. I usually speak in italics too but fidelity’s computer is being weird.~
Choosing a name is tough. It all depends if you want a human name, poetic name, or random name.
~You remind me of the sky. The sea is powerful and mysterious, the earth is warm and stable, but the sky can be dark or stormy or bright.~
...what does that have to do with names?
~Not quite the sky... you remind me of the Northern Lights. The blues and purpled swirling together in a gentle but breathtaking way.~
That’s very poetic. Like Aurora Borealis? (Which means Northern Dawn in Latin or Greek! Yay language skills!)
~That’s it. Aurora Borealis.~
Do you want to add the drawing you made?
~It’s not done yet.~
Ok then :)
<3 Fidelity and georgia
(September 25, 2018 - 9:23 am)
Aurora Borealis. I like it! Northern Dawn...hmm, Dawn would be a pretty name, too...
Let me jot that down...
Er, it's nice meeting you two! *smiles*
(September 25, 2018 - 2:25 pm)
Nice to meet you Unnamed-New-AE-Who-Belongs-To-Icy! You sound interesting! Here’s some names from me:
Miyako (Feminine Japanese name, means “Beautiful Night Child”)
Estera (Polish, Slovak and Lithuanian variant of Ester, feminine French name)
Hi! I’m Saki, nice to meet you! You sound great! Hmm...some names I like are Eve and Avery. I think they’d fit you!
Hey, you need to say more about those names!
They’re basic English names Neko. Nothing fancy.
Maki Tenebris. Pleased to meet you. Names:
Arcelia (Feminine Spanish name, variant of Araceli, Spanish name meaning “Altar of the Sky)
Alba (Feminine Italian name, means “Dawn”. Aurora gave me this idea)
*clears throat* Aki?
Hmm?
We’re introducing ourselves, and suggesting names for Unnamed-New-AE-Who-Belongs-To-Icy!
Unnamed-New-AE-Who-Belongs-To-Icy sounds fine to me. Maybe UNAWBTI for short.
*sigh* Hope this helped.
