AE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
AE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I noticed that the AE ball Leafy started kinda, well, died. And I was sad. So I’m starting an AE pool party with everything you can think of. Candy, ice cream, junk food and healthy food, games, yeah, whatever you want. I’m too lazy to create a form, so just put stuff like Age, Appearance, Gender, Shipping, and whatever else you think is important. CAPTCHAS and CAPTCHAES are welcome as well. Have fun! I’ll post my characters in a little bit.

*Still blushing* "Thank you so much. It's beautiful, and I love it. And I don't mind your jokes. I think they're super sweet and funny. But Shaow. You keep on saying I'm super pretty. That's not everything about me, okay. It's really sweet, but I want to know that you care about more than just a pretty face. You need to accept me for who I am. And maybe I am pretty, but I have other traits, like a mind. And I'm not perfect either, even though sometimes I say I am. I have flaws too. I'm stubborn, and vain. And you need to accept that too. And if you can do that, I'll be the happiest Alter Ego in the world. And thank you for the carnation."

»”I know. I love that you’re stubborn. You might be vain, but honestly, that doesn’t matter to me. And probably you’ll be making all the decisions, cause your brain is about ten times the size of mine. And I know that you’re more than pretty, and I like you because you’re more than pretty. But pretty is what I see on the outside. I also want to see you. And I’m glad you don’t mind my jokes. I’m using way too many And’s...” *shyly takes Abcde’s hand* “I like you exactly the way you are.”«

I feel like I'm floating. Shaow is holding my hand! They love my stubbornness and think it's a good trait. They think I'm ten times smarter than they are. That's certainly an exaggeration, but it's touching. Shaow seems to think I'm perfect. And of course that's not true. PygmyOwl tells me that often enough. But it's nice to have someone think that.

"Thank you, Shaow," I say. And I mean it. "Um. . ." I don't really know what to say next. I feel Shaow's warm hand in mine, and smile. "I'm in a ski lodge. Do you want to join? It's a rock paper scissors one, and it promises to be really fun. I'd like to do it with you. It would be comforting to have you by my side when I die." Is that the sort of thing you're supposed to say? "Not that I'm going to DIE die. It's just a ski lodge. But you know. It's still dying. And I'd like someone other than my annoying Chatterboxer on my side." (Link here: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/442075)
Oh, by the way, here is a picturing of Abcde that DoodleGirl did. (And yes, the flower she's holding is a carnation.)

»”I’d love to die with you! Oh wait...” I smile sheepishly. “Sorry about that. Maybe Dolphin will join to, and then the CBers can hang out together and they don’t have to bug us! I do have one question though... what’s a rock paper scissors ski lodge? Is it like, people Rock Paper Scissors to see who dies next? That seems morbid...” I grin. “Dolphin will post my picturing soon, too. Thanks for the link! I promise I’ll sign up soon. Do I put that in with you or something?” Ug. Too many questions, Shaow. Jewel has gone over to Coral, and I gesture to the Lazy River. “M’lady?”
(June 25, 2020 - 3:00 pm)
"Yeah. CBers can be so annoying sometimes. And, honestly, I don't really know exactly what a rock paper scissors ski lodge is either. But I think it's like we are on the side of rock. And we want to defeat paper and scissers. And we might die. Or something." I laugh. I'm not making any sense, but it doesn't really matter. "I haven't the faintest idea, either, but it looks fun. The problem is, only one more CBer and AE group is allowed in, so you'll need to sign up fast. And I think there's an "other" spot in the form where you can put that you're going with me." I glance over at the Lazy River. "Yes, lets go swimming." I lay Shaow's towel on the grass, on a sunny spot where it can get warm. "Thanks again for letting me use this. There's no worse torture than a wet towel."
(June 25, 2020 - 3:50 pm)
»”Of course! I hate wet towels, too. It’s just...” I shudder. “Horrible. One time Shard played a prank on us. We were going to a lake. He got there early, threw all our towels in the lake, and then somehow disguised them so that they looked dry. It was the worst! Dolphin grounded him for two weeks after that.” I step into the river and float on my back. Abcde steps in too, and I reach out for her hand. “I signed up for the Ski Lodge. It seems like it’ll be fun. Although personally I like paper better, cause I like to draw. But Dolphin is a rock hound, so she’ll definitely enjoy being on the side of rock.”

I giggle. "I don't really care which side I'm on, I don't have a special relationship with rock, paper, or scissors. If I had to choose one though, it would probably be paper also. Because books are made out of paper. And notebooks and everything. What's your favorite book? Mine is Theatre Sound by John A. Leonard. It is about the technology of sound in theater." The water in the lazy river is pleasantly cooling, contrasting beautifully with the warm, summer air. I lay on my back and float, gazing up at the clouds, still holding Shaow's hand. I'm so glad I came to the party.

»”Hmmm. That’s a tough question. I really like books that are nonfiction, but make whatever they’re about funny. Like, there are some books that are just like,” I adopt a monotone, “in 1897 so-and-so such-and-such said this-that-the-Other-thing... And then there are the books that make it funny. Like,” I become really sarcastic, “in the summer of 1897, when everyone’s hair was burning off, so-and-so such-and-such decided he’d better do something about it, or there would be no one left to freeze their tails off come winter.” I’m so glad I came. I’ll remember this day forever. I hear Shard saying something about us, and laughing, but I don’t care. I look at Abcde, and she looks so peaceful. I take a mental picture, and file it away.«

I look up at Shaow. The happiness on their face mirrors my own. I never want today to end. It's truly perfect. And yet. . .
"You know, this party is practically dead. The only people here are me, you, your siblings, and occasionally HOO's AEs. It's really more of a private chat by now than a party. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes you just want a party, you know? What I want to do is start a new party. One that is so incredible it can never die. Better even than a ball or a pool party. One that will be remembered forever in Chatterbox history." My eyes light up, and I stand up. "We could do something like. . . I don't know. A ball in the forgotten palace of Atlantis, maybe. Or a Midsummer's Day festival. Puck would have to be specially invited to that one." I clap my hands. "It will be the best party ever!"

»”That’s a great idea! I particularly like the Atlantis one. Maybe we could give everyone magical leis so they could breath underwater.” My brain works furiously. “We would have to make it worth coming to. Really good food, nice music, flowers, maybe we could even hire some hippocampi to put on a show.” I’ll make a separate thread where we can discuss it. That way it’ll be a surprise for everyone else. “We can make a formal invitation thread. ‘You are cordially invited to Abcde and Shaow’s ball, at Atlantis. Here is your complimentary SCUBA lei.’”
(June 27, 2020 - 3:31 pm)
"Okay! It'll be so great! And it'll be super fun to have an Alter Ego party run by actual Alter Egos! We have to make it really out the ordinary, too, so that it doesn't die so quickly like the ball and this pool party. I'm so excited!" I pause. "Do you have any idea where we can get a SCUBA lea?" I laugh. "This will be incredible, Shaow!"
(June 27, 2020 - 5:23 pm)
»”Well, Dolphin has a friend who has a friend who knows someone, and that someone’s brother-in-law is an elf. That elf knows a dwarf who will make them for us. I think.” I laugh too. “Watch for a thread on This Month where we can talk about it in private. This is gonna be great!!!”«
(June 28, 2020 - 10:50 am)
"Hopefully that VERY close relationship with a dwarf will be enough. Oh, Shaow! I'm so excited! This will be the best party ever! I mean, who can turn down an invitation to a party in Atlantis? It's literally a long-lost, underwater, fantasy palace. And it will be wonderful. SO wonderful!" I hope Shaow is fine that our lovely, romantic conversation in the Lazy River got turned into a party planning discussion. I don't always have the best social skills.
