So...I haven't been on the CB for a fairly long time now. I think the last time I checked in was last Valentine's day, and that was also the first time I'd posted in a while. However, I was looking through a bunch of my old writing the other day, and decided just to pop in and say hi. So...
Hi guys! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jarvis, Avengers fan extraordinare (side note: I know I'm several months too late, but WOW Endgame was amazing :D). I joined in Fall 2015 just after the end of Crowd Sorcery. I've posted several RPs and a celtic-themed solo write that, while it didn't get finished, was still a lot of fun to write. There have always been so many incredible and inspiring people on the CB, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you that I don't know already know! To all of you older CBers, friends, and aquaintances- hey. I've missed y'all so much, and it's really good to be back- even just to visit.
I probably won't be doing very much on here, especially not once school starts. Like I said, it's just a visit- I might partake in an RP or two, but that'll probably be it. Anyways, how are you all doing? What kind of things do you all like writing? Are alter egos still around (I've seen a couple in a few threads)? Also- shoutout to any debaters out there! (Or people that aren't yet in high school and considering debate-it's really awesome!)
Alright- I've spent way too much time scrutinizing every word in this post (ha). See you guys around!

*Flying tackle hug* JARVIS YES AN OLDER CBER WELCOME BAAAAAAAACK
Sorry. Anyway, welcome back! I do debate, and I've enjoyed it, for the most part. Do you do policy debate or Lincoln-Douglas? Also, I have AEs, the one who speaks in bold is Lux, and the italics is Nihil.
Hello, Jarvis, nice to meet you.
*Waves nonchalantly without looking up from whatever she's doing*

Hi Rogue Wildling!! It's great to see you again! Also, hello Lux and Nihil!
I do Public Forum, which is very similar to Policy debate in that you debate with a partner, but it also has several differences. One big one (and correct me if I'm wrong about this) is that in Policy I'm pretty sure all of the cross-examinations are one-sided, whereas in Public Forum, both speakers on opposite sides can ask questions to each other. There's even a CX at the end where everyone can speak, which can get pretty crazy.
My school also has an LD team, but I've never tried it. Which kind do you do?
(July 28, 2019 - 1:19 am)
Hi Jarvis! I remember you! Yeah, AEs are still around, although mine are not around much at all. I did debate the school year before this past one (saying "last year" vs "two years ago" in the summer is complicated), but then I quit because I hadn't put in all the work so it was boring and made me feel guilty. I do Quiz Bowl now, which is less commitment, and I might try Mock Trial one year.
(July 27, 2019 - 3:20 pm)
@Applejaguar do it Mock Trial is brilliant fun
(July 27, 2019 - 6:20 pm)
Applejaguar! Hey, another CBer I remember! How's your summer?
Yeah, debate does takes up a massive amount of time- that's certainly true. Mock Trial sounds fun- my school doesn't have a team, but it seems interesting from what I've heard.
(July 28, 2019 - 1:29 am)
My summer's been pretty good! What about you?
Oh hey, Unsolveablez says artt (CAPTCHAs are another thing we still have!)
(July 28, 2019 - 8:13 pm)
Hey Jarvis! I remember you! I'm doing well, and also I do debate! I had no idea you did too! I'm in a local Parliamentary circuit, but I also do World Schools, and I might be doing policy next year! (If you like debate. . . say, would you partake in any Model UN, moot court, or ethics bowl? It would be super awesome if we met at a competition!
(July 27, 2019 - 9:47 pm)
September!! That's so cool- I didn't know you did debate either! I do Public Forum, which is a bit like Policy. My school doesn't have teams for any of the things you mentioned except for Model UN. Ironically, my brother and two of my cousins are all in Model UN, so I actually hear a lot about it. Also holy WOW- do you do all those events at once?! That seems like a huge workload- I couldn't even imagine trying to do Public Forum and Model UN at the same time!
Yeah...I don't know about meeting at any of those three competitions you mentioned. Although, if you do end up doing Policy next year and both of us somehow make it to nationals, we could meet in Chicago! (assuming that your school's Policy team is part of the NCFL). That might be a bit of a long shot (definitely one for me, at least), but it would be so amazing. Anyways, it's great to see you again!

Hi, Jarvis! *waves* if you remember Soren Infinity from the reunion, that's me!
And yesss- I could talk about Endgame and Marvel for literal hours. As for altar egos---
Ey, Jarvis! I'm Sage, and your name is SO FRIGGIN AWESOME.
*Nervous smile* Hello, Jarvis...! Um, my name is Dewdrop. You can calll me Dewy.
(Pssst... Levana, be social. Just this once.)
*Sighs* Fine. *Shuts book* *Smiles* Hello, Jarvis, my name is Levana! I mostly keep to myself, so you might not hear from me very much.
(July 28, 2019 - 7:50 am)
Hello! I definitely remember you- I'm not sure if it was from the reunion or not, but it's great to see you again! I'm also glad AEs are still around. I'm still debating whether or not to bring back Emerald and Ultron...we'll see. Also, this is really random, but I love your Location Box.
(July 29, 2019 - 1:52 am)
Hmm yeah, I don't know where exactly we've crossed paths, but I feel like we've met previously somewhere down the line? Um. Do I make sense? I feel like I don't. Or maybe I'm just awkward, both of these thins are highly possible... XP
Thanks!
(July 29, 2019 - 3:02 pm)
Heyyyy, Jarvis! Good to see you again! XD I've been watching Marvel movies like crazy since May when I heard everyone talking about Endgame and decided "My family never got into these movies, but we should now". I only have Captain Marvel left to watch before Endgame! Aaaah!
(July 28, 2019 - 12:30 pm)
Hi Leafy!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you used to go by Leafpool?
Ooh, a Marvel movie marathon! That sounds really fun, actually- although there are so many of them. Endgame is totally worth knowing the story, though.
(July 29, 2019 - 2:03 am)
Oh yeah, sorry. I used to be Leafpool, but I switched to Leafy a while ago (partly since so many people were calling me Leafy anyways)!
I've been watching at least one Marvel movie every weekend, sometimes two, and sometimes one during the week as well. It's pretty great, haha.
