AE Diaries!!!
I don't know about you lizards, but I love my AEs and am really bad at commitment. So I don't really sign up for parties a lot. I still want to write with them, though! Hence this thread.
Here we can write about whatever they're doing when they aren't at parties, weather that be hanging out with their siblings, being their antisocial selves, going on dates (CB appropriate, ofc), or having adventures that have actual plots.
After this shows up, I'll post a link to the original thread by Viola? and an example of how this works :]]

[Aries asked me, "So, you said you have a cat, right? Can you tell me more about them?"]
[I immediatly perk up. "Yeah! my cat, she's a girl, and she is a fluffy white cat with blue eyes. Her name is Snowflake, though her name should've been Snowball. She throws herself at me when I walk into the room, begging to be picked up and petted. She also find her way into spots I don't understand how she got there! one time, I was holding her while I was in the living room, and then after awhile I set her down so I could go find something to eat. About ten minutes later, Justin was yelling at me to get Snowflake out of his room! and his door, get this, was LOCKED! It was like she teleported... Hmmm, that's a theory..." I drift off, finish my other roll, then ask, "do YOU have any pets? Or want one?"]

_She smiled and said, "[Yeah! my cat, she's a girl, and she is a fluffy white cat with blue eyes. Her name is Snowflake, though her name should've been Snowball. She throws herself at me when I walk into the room, begging to be picked up and petted.

I drift off, finish my other roll, then ask, "do YOU have any pets? Or want one?]"_
_"Well, I've heard that cats and squeeze under and through really tight spots, like liquid, so maybe that's how Snowflake got there! Or maybe it's plain magic. Anyways," I continued. "I don't have a pet, unfortunately, but I ABSOLUTELY want one! Not sure what type, though. A cat or a dog, maybe."_
_I took another bite of my croissant and a sip of my tea before saying, "So you said earlier that you cause a lot of chaos, didn't you? What chaos have you created so far?" I asked, smiling.
(August 31, 2023 - 6:55 pm)
*gasp* I forgot all about these two I'm so sorry-
[Alyssa]
[Aries asked coyly about the chaos I have caused, and I leaned back thought fully in my chair, considering what story to share. "Wel-ll-ll," I say, drawing out the word, "One time, I convinced Daisy and Justin to go on a jog with me, which is a pretty big feat, getting the two of them to go do something together. They're cousins, never agree on anything- ah straying from topic... Anyway, jogged, nice and long, they were super tired when we got back. they went straight for chairs when we got inside, and so I offered to get them drinks. they argeed, obviously thinking I meant WATER, but..." I snickered.]
Aries had leaned forward. "But...?" he said. "But," I finished, "I filled mugs with apple cider VINEGER, and brought the mugs over to them. They didn't even look twice-or smell it! they downed it, and you should have seen their FACES. Looks of complete disgust and shock, omg. It was THE BEST. then they spewed it all over the living room, and they were spluttering and gagging and choking. Ah, it was HILAROUS. Stacy had come in just in time too, and we where supporting each other, it was so funny."]
[I giggled at the memory, and continued, "They were too busy trying to get rid of the taste they forgot to threaten me, and I totally got out of any trouble I would've gotten in. But, well, I geuss I DID have to clean up the living room, but believe me, it was WORTH it."]
[Aries was snorting hard into his drink, and he manged to say, "Remind me never to accept a drink given by you." "I'll remind you as you're drinking," I promised, bring more laughs. I pushed my chair away from the table, got up, and said to Aries, "want to go do something else now? I can pay..."]

_Aries_
_I was snorting hard into my drink after Alyssa said that, but I managed to say, "Remind me never to accept a drink given by you."_
"I'll remind you as you're drinking," she said, making me laugh more. She got up, and said to me, "Want to go do something else now? I can pay..."_
_"Sure," I said, nodding. "Where do you want to go next? Perhaps a park? I heard there is one nearby."_

also sorry i took so long to answer :/

*Astra*
*I smile at the beautiful sunlight streaming through the window, dappling my room like the way it would dapple the forest ground. Just thinking about that makes me wanna go outside into the forest. Thank goodness Moon Wolf chose this location, so I can practically visit the forest everyday! There are so many cute woodland animals there that I want to keep, but...unfortunately, it's illegal to keep them, according to basically everyone I asked.*
*I get up and go make breakfast. I was just going to make some for myself, but on a second thought, I decide that I am feeling considerate today, and decide to make some for Crescent and Lyra as well.*
*I'm craving pancakes, so I go grab the pancake batter and mix together the rest of the ingredients needed, before pouring it onto the pan and flipping them. Soon, they are ready, and I drizzle lots of syrup on each one, topping it with whipped cream and fruits as well.*
*I hear Lyra come downstairs as I begin to dig into my pancakes. I smile at her in acknowledgement.*
*Lyra shuffles over to the table and sits down, looking a little bit...embarrassed? I couldn't really tell. She clears her throat and says, "-Hey, Astra. You've been nagging me to go into the forest, right?-"*
*"Mhm," I say. "And you still won't go!"*
*"-Well...I decided that maybe it was time to try something new. I think I might go out into the forest with you on your morning walk. Is that okay?-" she asks, looking a little nervous.*
*"Of course it is," I exclaim. Finally Lyra wanted to go see the forest! "I'm going to introduce you to all of its wonders!" I smile. I finish the last of my pancakes before saying,"In fact, let's go right away! Hurry up and eat your pancakes! We're going!"*

/Silvan/
/It's a beautiful morning - one of the ones that makes me want to just wander off by myself in nature. I fling open my bedroom window, and leaning out, I take a deep breath of the fragrant morning air. There's a bewildering amount of birds out there, and yet I can't see a single one of them. The house is fairly quiet, so I dare to hope I've woken up early enough to avoid the noise of chaos-making AEs./
/A knock comes at my door, though, so I was wrong about that. Slightly cross at having the prospect of a quiet moment to myself taken away from me, I turn and call, "Come in."/
/It's Eri who enters. I smile at the sight of him. "Hey, Eri," I say softly. "Good night's sleep?"/
/|"Pretty good,"| he tells me. I can see a telltale gleam of excitement in his eyes, and hope he's not going to make too much mischief. Or maybe it's just the result of his meeting yesterday with Lyra. "Good," I say. "What's Lyra like? You aren't too unhappy with being shipped?"/
/|"No, I'm not,"| he says with a quick smile. |"She's nice. So, well. You're finally awake?"|/
/"I think I've probably been awake for longer than you've been," I tell him. "And yes, I'm awake. I should probably go make breakfast."/
/|"Yeah, you probably should,"| Eri agrees, managing to make even that sound annoying. |"And, um. I was wondering, could we go out for a walk somewhere afterwards? Like, to the forest or something?"|/
/I look at him in surprise. "You with me?" That would shatter the peace of the walk, I know, but he's looking hopeful and sweet the way he sometimes does, and I know I won't be able to refuse. "All right," I say with a smile, pushing him off the bed which he's sat down on and heading for the door. "Just please don't get lost."/
/Breakfast doesn't take long; despite Eri's protests, I hurry him through it, so that we can be out of there before the other AEs wake up. Ibis comes down before we're finished, reporting that Aldebaran and Amethyst are still asleep. ~"Cereal?"~ she asks, pulling a bowl towards her. ~"Great."~/
/I notice that Eri's finally done and practically pull him outside. I take another long breath of the clear morning air as the door closes behind us. Out here I always feel strangely free - away from the other AEs, away from everything except the world around me. I grin at Eri. "Ready?" I ask him./
/|"Ready,"| he assures me, that little spark of excitement coming into his eyes again. I look at him sharply, but I forget it as we wander on toward the woods. The sunlight is dazzling in here despite the trees, and I spot a woodchuck lumbering away from us. "Isn't this wonderful?" I ask Eri softly./
/|"Definitely,"| he says, but he doesn't really seem to be thinking about what he's saying. Glancing at him again, I wonder what exactly I'm getting myself into./
(September 17, 2023 - 8:40 pm)
*Astra*
*Lyra finishes off the rest of her pancakes, after a million years, and finally, we can go! "Come on! I want to show you this trail through the forest in particular!" I say.*
*Lyra smiles and nods. "-Um, sure,-" she says.*
*I run out the door and into the wonderful wilderness that is the forest. Ahhh, so much better. I always wonder how others, including Castillo, Lyra, and Crescent, can stand being indoors for so long. I cannot. I must breathe the air of the outdoors at least five times a day, or else I'll go crazy.*
*"Alrighty, let's head off!" I exclaim excitedly, nudging Lyra towards the direction of the forest trail. She looks slightly uneasy, but follows beside me.*
*Suddenly, I spot a cardinal on a tree branch. I smile, pointing at it, careful to keep silent so I don't scare away the beautiful red bird.*
*Lyra looks at it curiously. Then, she looks ahead, and seems to see something, giving a quick nod. I turn to look at her, confused. I shrug it away. I probably just imagined it.*
*Eventually, the cardinal flies off. Lyra says, "-That bird was quite beautiful.-"*
*"Indeed, I'm glad you agree," I say, smiling. "You're truly appreciating nature's beauty."*
*"-Hey,-" she continues. "-Why don't we continue walking? I want to see more of the forest.-"*
*"Sure thing," I say, nodding. We continue walking, until I see two people up ahead, walking towards us. I look up curiously. "Who are they?" I ask aloud.*

~Today was normal. I took a ride on my hoverboard in the morning. I got myself some ice cream. A movie my mom really wanted to watch was out. I don't know why she liked it... Anyway. Tommorow is Monday, so that means school...! Goodbye.~
Hey admins, do you think you could put in different fonts?
No, I'm sorry. Chatterbox is set up to post in just one font.

I'm so so sorry but due to school and all I think I won't have much more time to keep this up, so I'm going to have Layia leave... but they should go on a date again sometime, they're so well matched for each other!!
/Yeah, he actually is kind of nice to hang out with.../
see, i told you you'd like him! anyway, here's Layia's POV:
/"He's so cute!" I say softly, smiling as I watch the squirrel bounding through the leaves. "I love red squirrels. They're just so... perky." I sigh happily. Being around Callisto is calming, somehow, and I don't want it to end, but I'm remembering that I have to get back home.
"I think I should be going now," I say. "But... it's been great meeting you. I'm often here in this grove if you want us to meet again."/
(September 19, 2023 - 7:56 pm)
=Callisto=
=At last, Layia had to leave. It was admittedly fun knowing her, and I can't wait to see her again next time.=
="Well, I do hope I see you again sometime soon," I say. "But I guess we must go our separate ways for now. Goodbye until then." I waved goodbye, as she did too, before I turned and slowly walked home.=
---
It's alright. But yes, they should! :)
(September 19, 2023 - 11:22 pm)
Here I am, finally :/ Sorry, it's taken me absolutely forever to respond this time~
/Silvan/
/I don't see as many animals as I usually do, and I suspect it's because Eri is making too much sound, rustling through leaves as if he loves making sound. Which. Knowing Eri, is true - he does love making sound. I probably shouldn't have agreed to take him./
/He's starting to fidget, and I glance at him. |"Hey, look!"| he exclaims - I can't quite tell if his excitement is real or faked. |"What the heck is that?? Wait a second, let's just go this way--"|
/"Eri, let's stick to this path..." I begin, but he's already taken off, and with a sigh I follow him. He seems to have a good idea of where he wants to go, and sets off along another path; eventually he stops and lets me catch up with him./
/I glance at him. "Where are we going?" I ask him./
/|"Through the woods,"| he says innocently, with a surprised look. But before either of us can say anything else, we round a bend in the path and spot two people coming toward us. It looks like two girls - one of them looks sassy and friendly and as if she knows what she's doing in the forest, and the other one looks sweeter - intelligent and full of laughter. "What on earth?" I say. I don't often meet people on my rambles through the woods./
/Eri narrows his eyes against the sunlight to see better. |"Hey, that looks... like Lyra,"| he says, his voice surprised./
/I hesitate, and then follow Eri up to them. |"Lyra!!"| Eri's exclaiming. |"Great to see you. And this -"|/
/-"Is Astra,"- the sweeter-looking girl replies. -"You know, Moon Wolf's other AE."-/
/|"Hi, Astra,"| Eri says with a disarming smile. |"I've heard a lot about you. This is Silvan, one of my fellow AEs."|/
/"Hi, you two," I say, feeling a bit shy. "It's nice to meet you. Especially since I'll probably be seeing you a lot these days?" I add to Lyra./
/Eri shoots a look at Lyra that I manage to catch. |"Lyra, would you like to - talk somewhere?"| he asks. |"Would you guys mind if we left you?"|
/Lyra and Astra agree, and before I can say anything - though what could I say anyway? - Eri and Lyra have taken off. I glance after them, then turn back to Astra. "Well," I say awkwardly. "Do you know Lyra well?"/
(September 24, 2023 - 6:47 pm)
*Astra*
*Of course Lyra goes running off with Eri. I look over at Silvan, who seems quiet. I hope this isn't awkward! *
*Silvan asks me if I know Lyra well, so I reply, "I mean, I guess. She's basically another AE in the house. How well would you know another AE?" After a brief pause, I continue. "Lyra's a bit annoying sometimes, but hey, I think that's just part of her personality. What about you, Silvan? What's your relationship with Eri?"*
(September 25, 2023 - 10:00 am)
/Silvan/
/Lyra says she knows Lyra pretty well, and asks what my relationship with Eri is. I'm starting to realize she's one of those extremely bouncy, imaginative AEs, but not as bad as some - I have a feeling she's very nice underneath. "Eri and I have a fairly complicated relationship," I admit. "Sometimes our personalities clash... but he's nice underneath, so there are also times when we enjoy each other's company."/
/I glance up; it's the perfect hour for being out in the woods; the birds have really started singing, and the sunlight is splendid. "Do you often come to the forest?" I ask Astra./
Do you want to restart Lyra and Eri's conversation also?

[Aries suggests that we go to a park nearby, and I agree. I leave a bill on the table, and we leave our chairs, heading toward trees a few blocks away. A tiny bit shyly, I hold my hand out to Aries, and he grins and takes it. We walk like this for a few moments, then I break the silence.]
["don't you like the changes of autumn?" I asked him, looking up as we pass under a changing maple. "The colors are so pretty, like the fire before snow."]
