Places to Chat
Hey everyone!!!
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Hey everyone!!!
Hey everyone!!!
I can't believe it's been five years since the CB came up with this reunion. That's amazing. I've been slowly watching today get closer for months now. It is awesome seeing all my old and not-so-old friends again! Not to mention some new faces.
It has been a long while since I've been here. I kind of migrated from the CB to chat services like Discord as well as PS4 and letters. Still, this place is more than home.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Ashlee! Fellow oldie (perhaps the oldest person on here today?) Who joined nearly 8? years ago. I've been off and on since then, usually only active during spring/summer. I'm a homeschooled senior with four little siblings and two longhaired orange tabbies. I love art, reading, writing, webtoons, photography, nature, and video games. Weird mix. Anywho, I'm your fellow Whovian and LOTR fan (still on the last book so shhh). I also love Property Brothers, The Voice (Netherlands is amazing), America's Got Talent, and things like that. And if you ever want to obsess over Webtoons comics with me, please do! I currently read over 80 I think.
How have things been? Any new hobbies or adventures you guys have taken up? I'll probably be on for the whole reunion week, so I'd love to chat!
P.S ~ I still have Zeon and Quill, who will forever be madly in love with their crushes. I wonder if Arwen is still here? Or CL's MewFour?

Oh, that's great! Sorry it took ridiculously long to make. Ten days sounds about right. Maybe nine because I think I sent it that day. I'm glad you liked it! I'm also happy I actually sent it to the right place. Whenever I write someone, I check the address a good five times to make sure it is perfect. Anyways, I'm happy to hear the postcard found a new home!

OH MY LORD IT'S ASHLEE!!!! *flying tackle hugs* Hi!!! I missed you so much!
(February 15, 2019 - 8:27 am)
AHHH ELEMENT I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER! *gets tackle hugged* Hi! I had no idea if you were still on the CB or not. It's so nice to see you again! <33
I see you still have your sailing numbers in your name. 100% approval! You must tell me all about how sailing has been going.
(February 15, 2019 - 4:29 pm)
Sailing has been going great, thanks for asking! I mean, I haven't gone out on the water that recently (for obvious reasons- February in New England is cold) but practice is starting up again in like 2-3 weeks, so I'm really excited for that! The season ended in November, and I got fifth in the (state, for lack of a better way to describe it) league, so that was an achievement!
Also, in the past few months I've started writing another novel attempt. Realistic fiction this time, actually- which I'm not as good at writing, but it's been fun. :)
Gah, I can't believe that you're almost 18! It feels like it was such a short time ago that you were on here regularly and we were trying to dominate the world (Am I getting nostalgic? I feel so old, this is weird XD)
It's great to have everyone back!!!

Hi Ashlee! I'm Secret, and new here. I hope to see you this summer!
(February 15, 2019 - 4:54 pm)
Hi Secret, nice to meet you! Yes, I'm sure I'll be around some time this summer. I look forward to talking!

Hey Ashlee! I've missed you!
(February 15, 2019 - 5:09 pm)
Hi Sept! *cries in my little corner* Ahhh I've missed you. How have things been? Have you done any recent debates?
(February 16, 2019 - 3:08 pm)
@Ashlee will Arwen be able to catch Zeon on the Æ Chat thread (or here) today or tomorrow or something? Gosh, I've been so busy I didn't even think of trying to help Arwen figure something out for Zeon or anything--I've kind of forget that like, it's around Valentine's Day for them too, and I guess Arwen underwent some personality changes too when I brought my Æs back from their long hiatus last year. She may or may not be planning to invite Zeon to go walk on the beach (the beach? Well, a beach. There seem to be a lot of beaches available for Æs recently.) with her and like, maybe go out for dinner or something. Eek, a date! ^^
If you'd like to take a look at the thread I made for bringing them back, and Arwen's mostly-current character sheet, here's a link:

Yes! I'm kind of busy today, but Zeon will definitely come by tomorrow on the chat thread. No worries about the personality change. I think she's slowly becoming more mature and fleshed out? If that's the right set of words? Same for Zeon and Quill. It's been so long. They went from the classic overly-hyper, antsy, pie-throwing AEs to individuals when you met them to now a bit different.
Arwen's secret date plan sounds perfect! Zeon hasn't been to the beach for a long time since an incident with a shark and memories of his time with Arwen. I'm sure he'd love to finally go back to one. Awww they finally get a proper date!
I love your reintroduction of them. Maybe I should make one too, since I'll be here for 1-2 weeks. Who knows?
(February 15, 2019 - 5:59 pm)
Incident with a shark...yikes. Yeah, um, I'm pretty sure this was Arwen's first ever personality:
"She is slightly crazy, and has a lack of common sense. She frequently gets crushes on other Æs, currently has one on Evil Devin. She also goes crazy at the sight of cupcakes. Good thing she has Serene to keep her in check."
Haha. It used to be that my Æs would change so much back when I was doing a ton of Æ roleplays and balls and things, because I would make a slightly different character sheet every time and they would just slowly change. I don't do that anymore, and I guess it's kinda up to me now to voluntarily give them personalities. Eek though, I've been having such a hard time trying to make Arwen, Serene, and Jarnen stay in their current personalities though!
About the reintroduction thread--yes yes yes, you should do that!

Hi Ashlee!! It's so great to hear from you again! I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you! Ayyy I've been stuck in my house as well. That darn snowstorm is sucking up all of my school's snow days. Lol! Aer you a senior this year? What's that like?
(February 16, 2019 - 6:39 pm)
ASHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*gummy bears fall from the sky*
Nnnnnot right now Grace!
*evil cackle in the background*
*rolls eyes* Sorry about that AE interruption, back to me feeling excited and sentimental.
I'm so glad to see you here! I haven't been active on the CB for a long time, I guess I'm a CBer who "left" but I pop in from time to time. We had such great times on the CB...honestly I forgot you were older than me, nearly 18 now wow. And a senior, how's that going? How are applications to college doing...if you're going to one, do you know where yet? (It's ok if you don't want to name school names.)? I'm a freshman now, being a senior feels far away sometimes and sometimes not. I've been doing a lot of choir and classical singing, made some new friends, read lots of new good books. Also I followed the Voice this fall which I don't usually do. Who did you like from the Voice this season?
