A Midsummer Ball

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

A Midsummer Ball

A Midsummer Ball

1780 a winter's ball . . . except it's 2020 and summer and only AEs are allowed. Other than that, completely identical.

Thaaaaaat's right folks, you, yes you, the AE I'm talking to right now, you are invited to the Midsummer Ball, right here in the Chatterbox! The food is free, the venue is first-class, no CBers are allowed, and best of all, you can break the fourth wall!

Do reply as soon as possible to our formal invitation with an information sheet as soon as possible, but of course latecomers are allowed, as you can't expect everyone to be punctual!

---

Dearest AE,

You are cordially invited to the Midsummer Ball! All attire is allowed, as chaos is beauty, indeed. If CAPTCHAs wish to attend, so they may! But of course AE supervision is required at all times. Return your invitation with the following information sheet filled out!

Name:

Attire: 

Other: 

As simple as that, you're coming to the ball!

Sincerely,

The Host

Oh, I've always wanted to come to an AE ball! 

I haven't.

Wellu areco ming!

What do you guys think about trying out human forms?

We have HUMAN forms?!! Why did I not know this?

Because she made them up just now.

Notha nkyou.

Okay, that's fine. You can craft your own, if you want.

YESSSSS! 

Now sheets:

Name: Blaze

Attire: I have pale skin and long, straight, strawberry blonde hair, sunbleached on the ends. My eyes are amber in color, and I look to be about eleven and a half years old. I will be wearing a pale pink short sleeved dress, which goes to about my knees. Half of my hair will be tied up with a yellow hair ribbon. I will also wear brown sandals. 

Other: I shall take full responsibility of Kiwi, the CAPTCHA, because Midnight will try to drown her in the fruit punch (she can't swim.)

I most definitely will! Will not, I mean. I said will not!

*rolls eyes* Just do your sheet.

Name: Midnight

Attire: I have short, curly black hair, brown skin, and black eyes. I will wear a navy blue T-shirt-

No, you won't.

But if I wear something fancy, I'll probably ruin it drowning- er, I mean, serving- Kiwi fruit punch.

Ihear dthat!

Attire, continued: Fine! I will wear a navy blue collared shirt, slightly rumpled. And khaki pants. With black boots and white socks peeking over the edge.

Other: I promise I won't drown Kiwi in the fruit punch.

Kiwi! Your turn. And use english for the sheet, please.

Name: Kiwi, or Cuwee in CAPTCHA speak

Attire: I'm a sugar glider! Look it up.

Other: I. Don't. Need. Chaperoning!

Sorry, it's one of the rules!

Hmph.

*Archer rolls up in a limo, steps out and bows with a flourish*

Ladies, may I have the good fortune to have one of you accompany me to the ball? And no, I don't have to wear this toga if you don't like it, I have a black tux in my limo.

Oh, I am itching to draw these outfits. GUYS c'mere! This time you ARE going to the ball! 

YESYESYES I need excitement! This is gonna be the best day of my LIFE!

Well, I suppose this could be interesting...

I'm not going. 

Why, Uru?

Waste of time. I'll just make a fool of myself.

Aw, c'mon. It'll be fun, i promise. Even if i have to MAKE it fun. *sly smile*

Look, what you consider fun is totally different from what I consider fun.

Umm, ok? 

Name: I'm going first! And my name is Fauna.

Attire:A twirly sparkly purple skirt, black t-shirt, denim jacket, and lavender converse. Oh, and and a white bandana headband with purple polka dots and silver hoop earrings! 

Other: Open for shipping, either gender. EEE I'm so excited! 

Name: Flora

Attire: A beautiful, floaty white dress with short sleeves, a silver necklace with a leaf pendant, and leather sandals. Green and blue bracelets.

Other: I guess I'm open for shipping. I hardly ever get crushes, though.

Uru?

I told you I wasn't going. 

Ah, well. Nice picture, AW! I'll decide later if I take Uru. I never introduced him but he's basically my grumpy, cynical, mostly antisocial AE.

Love the reference!!

AAAAHHHH HAMILTON ARE YOU SEEING THIS

Yes! Oh my gosh!

Why are you not freaking out?

Well I dump my Hamilton ravings on my friends, in order to not get kicked off the CB for excessive obsessing over The Bullet.

Okay that makes more sense. Penny, sorry I took the insane part of this thread from you. 

It's okay there'll be room for more. 

Let's get started!

Hup hup much?

Hehehe 

SHUSH.

Uhhhh

Also, the dress will only come to like, my knees. I'll be wearing mint flats. 

Other: Shipping is closed. 

Noooo.. 

Cem.

Okay. But if someone raps the Ten Duel Commandments I'm going to have to sing Helpless in order to proclaim my love. 

On to Penny.

Name: Penny Packer, Penny.

Attire: Sweatpants, a sweatshir- 

You have to kiind of dress up. 

Awwwwww maaaaannnnn. Okay fine. Fancy ripped jeans, a fancy shirt, and a fancy sweatshirt. 

Putting fancy in front of lounge wear does not make it not fancy. 

Ittttt kiiiinda does. 

Okay Penny, you'll wear a fashionable yet comfy outfit. I'll design. It will not disapoint.

We'll see.  

Other: Psst she and Harper are in a kinda relationship. Sqeeeeeeeee! 

I heard that!

It's adorable! ^o^

Name: Stargirl. Or Star. 

Attire: I'll be wearing whatever Sirfire designs. Probably something elegent. My hair will be in a twisted knot bun. Messy on purpose. I'll be going barefoot-

'Cuz she's a savage!

Don't sing the song. Seriously.

Oooookay...   ;^;

And I'll be wearing some gold accented jewelry.  

Other: I think Coral and I are girlfriends? I'm not sure....

Aw Star... You should go for it!

Um...

You should...

Don't do it.

Not...

Seriously.

THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT!!!

*laughs* okay I wish I had come up with that.

We'll see you at the ball!!

I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight, we were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night, laughin' at my sister as she's dazzlin' the room, then you walk in and my heart went-

*at the same time* BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The long hall was decorated with large white tables, each with heaps of delicacies on it, as well as boquets of violets and lavenders. Hanging from the high ceiling were garlands of bright flowers and vines and leaves. Crystal clear water ran from fountains into small ponds, and the marble columns had even more greenery twisting around it. It seemed like paradise, completed with the many multicolored AEs in their best clothes.

"Dear AEs and CAPTCHAs, welcome to the Midsummer Ball!" the host announced, bowing, "I won't bore you with a long speech, so I'll just say - have fun!"
