The Chatterbox was
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
The Chatterbox was
The Chatterbox was an utopia, and not one of those flawed, damaged ones like in the Giver. It was a beautiful, constantly in flux space created by the free rein of the most creative children. Multicolored, beautiful ombré buildings rose up into the sky, and wilderness in the distance, with scenic mountains where the snow was always perfect for snowball fights, trees perfect for climbing- or building tree houses- and rambling ivy and vegetation that gave everything an adventurous feel. Lakes of clear, sparkling water, and a suspension bridge that changed colors based on the state of the river while hand-built sailboats raced below. Laughter pealed from every distant corner, and young children chased each other through the streets.
The CBers didn’t really know the full extent of that world. Their imaginations could create it, sure, but they didn’t live it. It was the AEs who knew it better than anyone else, the old forts and the alleyways and that one place that always had free ice cream 365 days of the year.
But the AEs had never known the outside world, or how cruel it could be. They were naive, even the untrusting ones. So what would happen..if they were all thrown into the real world, and the CBers found themselves in a place that they thought only existed onscreen?
Chatterbox RP! The plot is basically summarized in the last paragraph, but we can make it up as we go along. Character sheet:

I'm not doing this RP or anything but I just wanted to point out that "those flawed, damaged" utopias is called a dystopia.
(November 23, 2018 - 8:01 pm)
I do know that, but: The Chatterbox was an utopia, and not a dystopia like in the Giver/ The Chatterbox was an utopia, and not a flawed, damaged one like in the Giver- which one sounds better? Also what I meant was it didn’t SEEM perfect, but then not be. ‘Dystopia’ is like it’s already obvious.
(November 24, 2018 - 4:05 pm)
Oh noooooooo Can I still join even though it started today (well it's yesterday because I'm posting this at like 10:30)? If I can here are my sheets but if I can't then just ignore them...
Name: FountanPen
Name that will be realistic irl: Lucy
AE, CAPTCHAE, or CBer: CBer
Age/Percieved Age: 14
Real Life Appearance: Shiny light brown hair in an undercut, brown eyes, glasses, acne, about 5' 2", wide shoulders, always wears a black sweater with a stripe of rainbow down the sleeves, jeans, converse, and a rainbow bracelet. has light skin that's tanned.
CB Appearance: Shiny brown hair in an undercut, silver eyes, elflike ears, about 5' 2", always wears a hoodie, jeans, and converse and most of the time has wireless earbuds. Has light skin that's tanned.
Personality: Says she doesn't care what people think, but that's not really true. She tries really hard to make everyone happy and is scared to upset anyone. This makes her tend to overwork herself quite often and gets worked up over small things, like forgetting a homework assignment at home. She can sing and draw well, but is introverted and would rather hang out with one or two people instead of a bunch at the same time. She is loud and confident around people she knows well though, and if she doesn't like you she will make it clear.
Backstory/Home life: An only child who has strict parents and is only in contact with her mother's side of the family. She has two cats and a dog and tries very hard to get good grades (like I said, strict parents), and is on a year-round swim team. She also takes piano lessons and is in an a capella choir.
Companions: Elena is my lynx CAPTCHA
Other: See the AEs below!
Name: First-Quarter Celestia
Name that would be realistic irl: Prima Celeste (Prima pretty much means "first" in Latin so yeah)
AE, CAPTCHAE, or CBer: AE
Age/Percieved Age: 17
Real Life Appearance: Black hair that's in a pixie cut, pale skin, brown eyes, 5' 8", slender. Has red-rimmed glasses.
CB Appearance: Midnight blue hair that's in a pixie cut, pale-grey skin (that's cool grey if the spelling is different), indigo eyes with silver flecks. Tall and slender. 5'8".
Personality: She doesn't like people. She'd rather spend her days locked in her room with an endless supply of books and notebooks than actually talk to people, in real life or online. She can be intimidating and is withdrawn, not talking to anyone unless she has to. She has a melancholy air about her but never will tell anyone why. The only person she seems close to is her brother, Third-Quarter (Well that's his CB name)
Backstory/Home life: Has a large family that is run by her parents who are upper class. She's the black sheep of the family as pretty much everyone else is charismatic and willing to meet new people.
Companions: Elena
Other: 3Q's is next. Also she has powers in the CB but doesn't IRL because of obvious reasons.
Name: Third-Quarter Celestia
Name that would be realistic irl: Tertius Celeste (again his first name pretty much means "Third" in Latin)
AE, CAPTCHAE, or CBer: AE
Age/Percieved Age: 17
Real Life Appearance: Pretty much the same as Prima's IRL appearance except a dude and about 2.5 inches taller.
CB Appearance: The same as First-Quarter's appearance except a dude and maybe like 2 inches taller.
Personality: He's kind-hearted, but he can be overly generous. He's also rather absent-minded and forgets things a lot because he doesn't pay attention. He's the opposite of First-Quarter/Prima in that way because, unlike her, he tries to meet people and make them happy but has trouble because he has a short attention span.
Backstory/Home life: Prima's twin brother and the main person that gets her to actually talk to people. They live in the same house in the same family and share a room, even though they disagree on a lot of things.
Companions: Elena
Other: He has powers in the CB but obviously he doesn't IRL
Name: Skylar Corey
Name that would be realistic irl: Her name is already pretty realistic so... SKYLAR COREY!
AE, CAPTCHAE, or CBer: AE
Age/Percieved Age: 15
Real Life Appearance: Chin-length black hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, about 5' 4". Athletic build, physically strong but doesn't look like it. Always wears a green quarter-zip sweater and jeans.
CB Appearance: Chin-length black hair, maroon eyes with the club's symbol as pupils, light skin that's tanned, about 5'4". Athletic build, physically strong but doesn't look like it.
Personality: She loves talking to people, but can come off as annoying to someone who doesn't know her that well. Her way of showing she wants to be friends with someone is talking to them incessantly until they talk to her back. She loves sports and probably spends most of her school year playing sports for her school. She really supports everyone she's friends with.
Backstory/Home life: Has four siblings raised by a single mom. Her parents divorced when she was ten.
Companions: Still Elena
Other: She too had powers but not anymore nope
(November 24, 2018 - 1:51 am)
It’s totally fine, since the RP hasn’t started yet.
(November 24, 2018 - 4:07 pm)
I'm late, I'm late, to this very important date! I kept telling myself to join this and then not. So here I am!
Name: Brig
CBer
Age/Percieved Age: 14, though people tend to assume I'm older (two people thought I was old enough to vote?? sorry guys I would if I could)
Real Life Appearance: Tall at 5'8". Has long, straight blond hair (shoulderblade-length), blue eyes, and glasses. Tends to wear yoga pants, boots, fandom t-shirts, and a sweatshirt reading "Moriartea: That's what people brew!". Pale skin, tans in the summer. Yes, this is what I look like.
CB Appearance: Same height as my IRL appearance. Though she has blonde hair, it looks nicer, it's longer, wavier, and paler. She has blue eyes that are the color of the sky on a cloudless day. Alternates between a white dress with an illusion top and an outfit consisting of white bellbottoms and a white long-sleeved shirt. Always wears either white or brown lace-up boots. Does not have glasses. Pale skin.
Personality: WHY. Okay. I can be very shy when you first meet me. I don't like holding long conversations with strangers or people I don't know that well, and tend to answer in short, simple sentences that make people think I'm uninterested in the conversation when I'm really just unbearably awkward and don't know what else to say. However, if you put me in a groupwork position, I will always take the lead - I hate having something being marked as final without all of my edits being applied first, and if that means I have to take over the project, so be it. Once I get to know you better, I'm a much better conversationalist. I tend to express confusion or doubt by blatantly making fun of things or verbally judging people (generally old dead white guys), it's a bad habit, and will go into rants about that before somebody cuts me off and makes me notice that I'm doing That Thing again. I can talk your ear off, or barely talk at all - there's no in between. I'm constantly tired, I'm a serial procrastinator, and I live through multitasking.
Backstory/Home Life: I live in a pretty normal house - I have a mom, a dad, a brother, and a dog.
Companions: Clode will be coming, I suppose. He deserves some action. He hasn't been out and about in ages.
Other: N/A
~~~~
Name: Devin, goes by Dev
AE - obviously, he's Devil Owl
Percieved Age: Late teens
Real Life Appearance: Weird obsession with purple?? Has purple everything. Dyed purple hair (long, usually held back in a ponytail), a purple sweatshirt, purple jeans, purple Nikes. Only his eyes are different - those are brown. He's the shortest, which is to say, very short. Pale skin.
CB Appearance: Very similar to his RL appearance, except his eyes are purple, his skin has a purple tinge, and his hair just naturally grows that color.
Personality: One would categorize Dev in the "insane" AE box. He loves instigating people, starting fights, warping logic to meet his ends, and trashing all the laws of grammar for the express purpose of annoying Fiona. He's capable of acting intelligently if he tries. He just doesn't try. That's a lot of work.
Backstory/Home Life: Is trapped in the confines of Brig's CB home.
Companions: They all share Clode. Clode is a family pet. (as he repeats to Fiona on the daily.)
Other: Shipped with Puck.
~~~~
Name: After researching some names, decides on Fedora
AE - she's Feather
Percieved Age: Late teens
Real Life Appearance: Exactly an inch taller than Dev. She has brown hair that she keeps back with a blue headband that matches the color of her eyes. She usually wears crisp, collared, button-up white shirts, with brown cardigans over them, and either a skirt and tall socks, or a pair of brown trousers. Polished shoes, always. Carries a messenger bag with her. Her skin has a bronze tinge.
CB Appearance: Literally exactly the same. Her bag is bottomless, though.
Personality: Know-it-all! Feather does know it all, and she's not afraid to flaunt it. This can lead her to be very helpful in tight situations, but it also makes her impatient, bossy, and sarcastic. She views anyone who doesn't match her in intelligence - which is everyone, from her perspective - as not worthy of her respect, which can lead to an unapproachable demeanor. However, she's still the best at manners and politeness out of any of her AE siblings. She also has a ridiculous temper.
Backstory/Home Life: Suffers living with the imbiciles that occupy Brig's home.
Companions: CLODE LIKES HER THE BEST.
Other: Karate expert. She has a black belt. Bi, shipped with Hobbes.
~~~~
Name: Cú Chulainn, ends up going by Camryn
AE
Percieved Age: Young adult
Real Life Appearance: The tallest. She has very long, curly red hair, green eyes, and freckles. Wears either sports tank tops (generally for hurling) or baggier jerseys, along with leggings or sweatpants. Sneakers. Perpetually tanned skin.
CB Appearance: No chaaaaange.
Personality: Camryn is probably the most changeable of my AEs. Like me, she can be very shy and awkward when getting to know someone, and will only get over it after a long time with them. She'll perk up when they mention something she's interested in, though, especially sports or music. She also has a temper and expresses it by raising her voice, and can even get violent (especially towards Devin, who gets a kick out of it).
Backstory/Home Life: Enjoys her time in Brig's house.
Companions: Clode, though she doesn't really care that much about him.
Other: Pan, polyamorous. Shipped with cloud.
(November 25, 2018 - 2:13 am)
Sorry I'm taking a while to get my sheets.
I'll post it tonight hopefully.
(November 25, 2018 - 7:23 pm)
Here is my sheet:
Name: Ava Woodman (not my real name)
Cber
Age: 15
Real Life Appearance: (not my actual appearance) medium brown wavy hair, medium length, brown eyes, very tan. Ususally wears a bun or a ponytail. She is small, but muscular. She often wears leggings and hoodies with sneakers or lace up boots.
CB Appearance: Wears a light green top and a short jean skirt with a cardigan over it. And sandals. Pretty similar to the real life appearance.
Personality: She is quiet and hard to get to know at first. Once she does open up to someone, she has a good sense of humor. She daydreams a lot and spends a lot of time by herself. She plays the guitar and sings and really loves it. She loves nature and loves to spend time outside. She is compassionate, a good listener. If she cares about something, she can get very passionate about it, sometimes heated if it is challenged. She is very independant. But she can become very controlling in a group setting of she doesnt like how things are going. Not very assertive, but would like to be.
Backstory/Home life: She has 4 siblings, and two dogs. She lives in the suburbs and doesn't like big cities.
Compions: I'm gonna say none, because my AEs are sorta on vacation or something, they're not really around anymore
Other: She LOVES music, singing, playing, listening, all the stuff
(November 25, 2018 - 8:54 pm)
Surekha sat comfortably on the plushy couch, browsing the Internet. She had ninety-nine plus notifications on Tumblr, so when she got bored with searching random things she could click on the app and enjoy a hour scrolling at least. She had been at her grandparents’ for Thanksgiving a few hours ago, and was happy to be home. Her grandparents weren’t far, about a hour and a half away, but her family still tended to make it a trip. She had her rats nestled in a carrier scarf, and they were happily messing with a piece of paper.
The heater was running full blast, and Surekha happily dangled her feet close to it. Her hair had little braids in it that day, and she’d been forced to wear a dress by her mom when they went out to dinner. She had her jacket on, even though it was cozy and warm inside. School was starting the next day, and it was on this Surekha was mildly reflecting on. It wouldn’t be pleasant getting up at eight after a long break of sleeping in until lunchtime. Oh well. I’ll just be pretty tired tomorrow, I guess.
Then, she heard a clanging and a loud banging noise and saw something flash in the corner of her eye. Surekha jumped up quickly and went to see what it was.
What the heck?* Two kids were sprawled over each other near the kitchen table. A potted plant had overturned on them, draping them in dark soil. A bird Surekha couldn’t identify at first glance was pecking at the hair of the boy. It wasn’t a cockatiel, parrot, or any other type of pet. More of a falcon.
“Why are two strange people I don’t know and a weird bird in my house!” Surekha asked, or more yelped.
The girl turned her head up and blinked. She had startling red eyes, or some color close to that. Surekha had a strong sense of deja vu. Did she know this girl? Probably not. I get deja vu all the time, ever since I took dance in that haunted classroom.
“We’re just visiting. I guess. We fell through a portal. Where’s Blue?”
“Blue?” Blue Moon said, and realized.
And that was when she disappeared.
Cloud and Pzun looked at each other, and shrugged. Weird stuff like that happened all the time in the Chatterbox.
(November 25, 2018 - 9:44 pm)
Yes! It's started!
Eliza sat in the dining room that was only used to house the family's two laptops, tapping her foot impatiently while she waited for the page she was desperate to look at loaded. School had been cut back an hour due to the weather (true story) and she was enjoying her last bits of freetime before she had to go to the dreaded House of Learning once more.
The page popped up, and she began to read the new short story on Storybird exitedly, her too-small uniform shirt coming untucked as she reached forward to click a comment out on the keyboard. Her friend had really outdone himself this time. Just as she hit submit, she heard strange thumpings in the room above her.
The room above the dining room was her bedroom.
She shut the laptop with a snap and bounded up the stairs. Her white door was already cracked open to try and get some of the warmer air into it, and through it she saw a pile of four people, one of whom seemed very annoyed by being smashed by some other girl with long dirty blonde hair. Eliza could see why- the dirty blonde one was approaching her ear with a wet finger.
"SAGE!" She shreiked, her big, dark brown hair swinging in front of her face. "Gross! Where are we?"
"I have no idea," said a girl with curly green locks, "But it's kinda pretty." She ran a hand over Eliza's blue and green paisley bedspread.
"HEY!" shouted Eliza, "Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
"Hey, we're not here to hurt anyone or any of that," a tall guy with wavy black hair said calmly, "We were just looking for Soren. Soren Infinity. Do you know her?"
Soren Infinity? Like MCSM character? Eliza thought confusedly. Why did she recognize that name? Or these people?
"Sage, stop torturing Lev," said the green haired girl. Sage. Lev. Soren. Eliza knew those names. Like she had created them or something.
"How about my other sister?" asked the girl named Sage. The boy pulled them apart.
"Aw, Midnight!" Whined Sage. Then, it clicked. Soren was Eliza, and these where her-
Eliza started pixelating.
"Wait! Guys! It's me! I'm Soreeeeennn!" She cried as she vanished. Dewy stared at the plce she had been, fasinated. This gave Sage the opportunity to give her a wet willie.
Eliza, meanwhile, ended up in a strange place with a strange appearance with a girl named Blue Moon.
(November 26, 2018 - 8:25 am)
Aw, this sounds so fun. Is it possible that I can still join?
