Chatterbox City RP!
So I had this weird idea-- Chatterbox City! All the CBers live in a city (as do the admins, and you guys can write too if you like) and we all already know each other and we have to team up to save the city from, I don't know, evil vampires or something. You don't have to live in a house in the "city"; you can live in a cave or a cloud or a secret HQ. and there's a building in the center which is like the Admin Center. Also, there is a Starbucks, a Whole Foods, and a Chipotle. You guys can add thinhgs if you like.

Shadow~
We ran. We ran like the wind. We ran like never before.
The Derps where gaining. on us. Faster and faster they went. Slower we went as we all got out of breath.We just couldn't run anymore. We ran blindly though the stone passeges. Around a bend we went and I ran into a stone wall. Ow. Black blood begains to drip from my jaws. I think I lost a tooth. Danie frowns at the puddle of blood. Then she sees the wall. No where to go.
A huge blast shakes the building. CBers and Derps alike are thrown to the wall. Where a stone wall once was is a hole. And in that hole is a hooded person. "Another Derp?" Asks H.A.B "I don't think so" says Squeak. We all dash to the hole. The hooded person leads us though the tunnle in the rock.We follow.
After a while we come to open air where some sort of flying car floats. The hooded person mearly points to it. I am too tired to question it. We climb in. The hooded person sits in the front seat, but there is no stareing wheel. We all squash in the back seats and the cars starts.
My jaws ache, my wings haven't healed and hurt badly, and the virus makes my head a muddle. I fall asleep.
I wake up when the hooded person shakes me. The other CBers are outside the car. I get up but I don't leave. "Why help us?" I ask "Why risk it?" The hooded person dosen't answwer my question. "You can repay my help here, tomorrow night." He says. "I will be there" I answer.
He sounds like a Derp. I shouldn't trust him. But he saved our lives and I said I would be there. I think as I run with the others though the forest to CB city.

Over~
Since I don't know where the Orb is, I pull myself up and step outside. It's murky and dreary out here. I force myself to step through this strange, drab place. Where to start looking? Hmm... I scan the city, looking for someplace that looks like a derp would hide there. I take a deep breath, and run into the forest.
I stop short.
" Danie! H.A.B! Oh my gosh, Admin 2!" That was me, shouting. Shouting because i didn't find the COOCAI, but I found my friends.
(April 30, 2015 - 5:30 am)
Shadow~
"What?! The Derps have to Orb?" I exclaim after Rainbow tells us the news. She starts to cry. "It was all my fault. I should have watched it more carefully" "There, there," says Admin #2 "We'll get the Orb back, we will."
I get an idea, "We have to- we have to- " "What is it?" "We have to- we have to-" I repete like a broken robot. I have to tell them. I think desperately. But I can't. "We have to- we have to-" It's the virus that makes me talk like this. I suddenly fill dizzy and fall to the ground. I can't stand up, I can't move. Then all is dark.
I wake up in a bright room on a bed. The Orb! I think. Where is the Orb? I see H.A.B and Volcano in beds beside me. I open my jaws to speak. Nothing happens. I can't talk! Volcano, seeing me awake, says,"We're under quarantine because of the virus" and seeing me look at H.A.B, she says,"He can't talk either." We have no time for quarntine! We have a Orb to find and I have a to go to the forest tonight!
I'm not going to break my promise to that person Derp or not. Because the others and I would have been dead without him. I will get to the forest tonight. Some how I will.

"Reboot...reboot... come ON, reboot..."
"PIKA, ON THREE! THREE!" We zap it together. It reboots, but crackling. Its's enough for me, though. "The vaccine!" I place my hand on the Virus Vaccine Screen. It delivers. My pets receive it, too.
Unfortunately, the vaccine has a nasty side effect.
I black out.
Shifting~
Fast. Faster. "Where IS IT?" I yell, referring to the C.O.O.C.A.I.
I must find it. I must find it now.
Then a horrible cold shudder runs through me. A shadow falls over Chatterbox City. I look around in horror as the Wi-Fi Dragonflies, the ones that survived the virus, malfunction and fall from the sky. The land levels as all the whimsical, creative landscape becomes a dank suburb where all the houses look the same.
Only one thing could bring about such devastation. The C.O.O.C.A.I. has left the city limits.
"NO!" I scream as I turn corporeal, running through the suburb. Then I try to summon something and find I can't. Our powers run off the C.O.O.C.A.I.
Somebody~
I wake up. I look around and see something horrible.
Silver has become a normal dog.
My snakes have become kingsnakes in a terrarium.
My poor Pokèmon have been retracted to cards.
Fruity us nowhere to be seen.
I look down and notice that my jumpsuit has been replaced with jeans and a t-shirt. And my secret HQ, my glorious, beautiful secret HQ, is gone in favor of a boring suburban house. The Wi-Fi dragonflies are dead. Everyone else's houses are suburbs, too. The Orb must have left the city limits. I try to use my kinesis and fail utterly. Without the orb, our powers are gone, too, and without it, we are powerless.
Without the Orb, we will all be worse than dead.

Danie~
While we rest, i suddenly feel dizzy. My thoughts! Why are my thoughts nu-1010010101011-N000000!! ST0000P! HELLP! 10001000100010010RB1000101001001FOREST10101001001011110101010101010CAVE- Wait! It's helping-1000110101110-ME! MUST TELL THEM!
"Squeak... 1001001010111..." I grow dizzy again.
"Danie! DANIE!"
"10111..100101...Find...101001...Find...It's...Evermount forest....Find...10110101011...Cave...Orb...1001001010110101001010101001 ERROR." I black out.
Squeak~
While we rest in a house, Danie suddenly spazzes out.
"Danie! DANIE!" I bend over her, looking her in the eyes. She groans.
"F-find... F-find... It's....IT'S IN THE EVERMOUNT FOREST. THE CAVE. THE ORB." She bursts out, her eyes rolling. Then she blacks out.
Over runs over to me.
"She... She got infected... STAND BACK!"
"Wait... Over wait! She said something!" I grab her. "She said... A forest... Cave... Orb... It's in the forest! In a cave! the orb! WE CAN FIND IT!"
And then I suddenly grow dizzy and fall down.
(May 1, 2015 - 9:55 pm)
Over~
" BROOKEIRA!" I holler. " Oh my gosh! Can you tellikiness-ify these two to quarentine?" Brookeira runs over to me.
" Um, I'll try...my powers don't seem to be working." She rolls up her sleeves, stretches her arms out towards Danie and Squeak, wiggles her fingers, rocks back and forth slightly on the spot, and then closes hjer eyes. She breaths deeply. Her entire body seems to stiffen, and then relax. In one sudden, quick, jerking movment, she swings her arms around her body to the right, then swings them back and lifts them up. Danie and Squeak...
Nothing.
" Darn!" We say at the same time. We catch each others gaze and laugh.
" We don't have time to laugh now." I sigh.
" Well, if we can't bring them to quarentine, we'll have to put them in quarentine right here." That's actually a really good idea. Brookeira speaks again. " I'll go get some 101010100...I mean, 10010101wfhnsdjskkskjjjkd-"
"OH NO!" I shout. Brookeira gasps. Her mouth stays in an O shape. Oh, man, this is really bad.
I turn to talk to Brookeira.
"I think you have to go to quarintine too. I'm really sorry." Brookeira colapses, her body shakig. I catch the sight of a small tear, rolling down her cheek. I run to the forest to get some wood. On the way I meet Somebody.
" Hey", she says.
"Hi", I answer, my voice wistful and sad. " Can you help me get some lumber? We have to build a quarintine building over Danie, Squeak and Brookeira."
" Over them? Why over?"
" Danie and Squeak collapsed in the street. I asked Brookeira to try and use her telekinesess and bring them to the quarantine building. It didn't work, and now she has the virus."
" You know," she says. " It's kind of weird how you are the only one who hasn't taken the vaccine but hasn't gotten the virus."
" Yet."
" But you've been around so many infected people! This has to mean something. I doubt your immune."
" Yeah," I say. " Definetely not immune. Nobody is immune to computer viruses."
" So it must mean something else! You must have some sort of protection, or something." Out of habit, I shove my hands in my pockets. But my left hand doesn't shove al the way in.
" That's odd".
"What?"
"I don't remember putting anything in my pocket, but now I feel something."
" Take it out, then!"
" OK, I guess." I dig aroung until my fingers are under the strange object. I pull it out. It is smooth and rounded on one side, and on the other side it is rough, as though it was pulled off of some sphere. Wait-Sphere? My mind races. If this is a piece of a sphere, it could be a piece of the orb. I glance at the piece. It looks like the Orb, alright. So maybe...
" This is a piece of the Orb. The city isn't malfunctioning be ause the Orb is missing, it's because the Orb is broken!" I hold the piece of the Orb over my head triumphantly.
(May 2, 2015 - 6:39 am)
"I know where the orb... 10010111...Is..." I fall onto the ground.
(May 2, 2015 - 10:20 am)
Savvy~
"Maple we need to get out of here. It.... I don't know how you got here or why either of us are here but I don't......." I trail off. Should I tell her? I figure I shouldn't.
"Savvy I can tell there's something you're hiding from me..." Stupid BFF know everything about me even when I'm lying thing.
"Fine. I'l tell you. When the der-" I'm cut off by footsteps coming towards us. "hide" I mouth to Maple and we both find a cornor and try to blend into the shadows.
"She's not here" I hear a sigh. But not just any sigh. That's my sister.
"ELLIE!! I.. How.. You.. But.." I try to think of why she was here or how she got here.
"Savvs I came to save you. What is this place?" she asks me
"I don't know. But....100110011011011... I..." My thoughts! they were.. numbe- 1001101001101100101... HELP! 1001101001100101... Somehow I knew what they meant. or at least I thought I di- 100101101001... " Evermount.. 100110101.. F-forest.. 101011011.... it's.... the... 1011001... cave....10011.... the orb.... 1001101.. find... 100110101.... the orb..." 100110101010100110100110010100110001.....
Then I blacked out.
(May 2, 2015 - 8:59 am)
"Give it here! I'll vaccinate you! C'mon!"
We run to my house, where I warn Over about the side effect, vaccinate her, and sit down at my PC.
"Cosmic Orb Of Creativity And Imagination, help me recreate MIRIS and I will recreate you."
As if the Orb understands, it sparks, and my PC becomes my MIRIS.
Over wakes up.
"So," I explain, "This is the orb."
A picture of the Orb shows up.
"This is what the Orb looks like now."
A picture of the Orb, shattered into three pieces, comes up onscreen.
"It's broken up into its component parts, the Core, the Shell, and the Lid. We have the Lid with us. It caps the Orb's power and regulates the output of the Core."
Over looks at me sideways.
"It makes sure that the Core doesn't pour out too much power. Anyway, the Orb can only be fixed by an Admin's touch. We need to unite the parts and get one of the Admins to fix it. I can easily track the Core's energy signature, but the Shell will be a different matter. It doesn't output energy like the Core does. It stops that that energy signature, which is present everywhere faintly."
"But you CAN trace it, right? Right??"
"Yes. We need to find a place where the omnipresent energy has a hole in it."
"Oh..."
"The Core is our first priority. It radiates power. Fortunately, it will be easy to find."
(May 2, 2015 - 2:32 pm)
Five minutes later, we are packed and ready to go. We took a few frying pans and kitchen knives as weapons-- not much, but it'll have to do.
Then Ellie and Squeak run over. "The Orb is in Evermount Forest!" they yell as one.
"Yeah, the Core is. How do you know?" I ask.
"Savvy--"
"Danie--"
"--Got infected and--"
"--said so."
"It makes sense!" I say. "The Core radiates power. When they were infected, they must have briefly seen the energy signature! Let's go!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~THREE HOURS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ellie, Squeak, Over and I are REALLY starting to regret our decision. We found that the lid acts as a radar when near a piece of Orb, and it's vibrating REALLY slowly. The sun's setting, and we're really tired.
"All in favor of pitching the tent and making camp for the night, raise your hands," I say. Everyone raises their hands.
So first we start pitching the tent. When we finally get it pitched, it's getting dark. I scramble for the matches as everyone else scrambles for firewood. When we get the fire going, it's night entirely. Squeak, fortunately, had brought s'more stuff, and we pretty much all have s'mores for dinner before squeezing into the tent and trying to fall asleep.
The birdsong gets REALLY loud at around 6 a.m. and we all have to wake up. We have graham crackers for breakfast, put out the fire, and are on our way again when it decides to rain.
This is the worst decision we EVER made.
(May 2, 2015 - 6:13 pm)
Well, I'm glad I found Savvy. Who knows going into a random building to weep would solve a few problems?! I feel the celebaration will end soon. This whole war thing ended my celebration earlier. Wait. That wasn't a celebration. That was a bunch of Leo bickering. For once, I actually miss the small arguments. The annoying Maple and Savvy. I want my old life back. Really, really bad. I'm really tired sice I don't sleep well when I'm not in my own bed. And they thought I woke up at six! The bird started chirping at five and-- "We must head out." Over interrupts my thoughts.
(May 2, 2015 - 8:58 pm)
UGH.
Remember when I said this is the worst decision we ever made?
UNDER. STATEMENT. OF. THE. MILLENIUM.
This is the WORST decision ANYONE EVER made in HUMAN HISTORY.
Everyone is in a really lousy mood. Squeak has blisters (it's his own fault for not pretaping), Over is getting rained on (it's her own fault for not bringing rain gear), and Ellie and I are SO not morning people and are snapping at anyone who makes a sound (we're definitely night owls).
At least we're collecting rainwater in plastic bags, which we then pour into the water bottles and purify with my water-purifying strings. They're strings with organic chemicals on them that desalinate and purify water in seconds.
Not a lot happens that day. We try to start a fire in a small aclove which is reasonably dry, and then take assesment of our supplies:
- Half a bag of marshmallows
- Two Hershey bars
- One and a half sleeves of graham crackers
- Two apples
- Eight granola bars, assorted flavors
- One package of Pixy Stix
- A grape lollipop
- One family-size bag of BBQ chips
- One family-size bag of Salt & Vinegar chips
- Four bottles of soda
- Four bottles of water, unopened
- Eight bottles of water, opened and refilled
- Ninety-two water purification strings
-Three rain slickers/windbreakers
- Four jackets
- Twelve sets of extra clothes (three sets each)
- One four-person tent
- Four sleeping bags
- Four pillows
- Six packages of travel soap flakes
- Two and a half rolls of toilet paper
- One and a half boxes of matches
- A lighter
- Four frying pans
- Three kitchen knives
- One pocketknife
- Twenty plastic bags
- Two boxes of Band-Aids
- One bottle of sanitizer
- One box of Wet Ones
- One roll of bandages
- One bottle of disinfectant.
- One rope
- One ball of string
- One Orb Lid
- One tablet
"How much longer do we have to go?" Squeak whines.
"20 miles.... we're averaging 5 miles a day so four days there. And this is the end of Day 2 walking up, so we'll take six days to get back down," I say.
"TEN DAYS of walking? I already have blisters!" Squeak whines.
"STOP WHINING, it's annoying!" I snap.
"I'm not whining, but if I was, it's your snapping that is annoying!" Squeak whines
"I'M NOT SNAPPING!!!" I snap.
(May 2, 2015 - 11:40 pm)
Savvy~
I'm sitting in a dark room similar to the previous dark room I was sitting in. But I'm not with Maple. I'm not with the derps. I think I'm in some sort of dream or hallucination (Did I spell it right??). I try to move but I really can't. Numbers surround me and I'm not sure why they're not interupting my thoughts. Just words.
"Where am I? Is anyone here?" I yell out into the mathmatical shadows.
"Shhhh!!" I hear a voice from the other side of the room. Suddenly, lights nearly blind me as I finally see where I am. "You're safe don't worry."
"Who are you?" I asked looking at the girl. She was slightly pale with wavy brown hair and chesnut eyes that showed no expression.
"Well... that I cannot tell you. But please. Call me Lily." Lily. I thought. It was a familiar name but I couldn't quite place it.
"Where are my friends??" I blurt out.
"Evermount Forest. Looking for the orb."
"So... so they left me here?" I squeaked. Squeak. I wonder where he is now.
"Not... not exactly.." seriously this girl could not just get to the point.
"Where am I?"
"We. Where are we." She corrects. "And we're in La La Land. A city of imagination. Where anything can happen. Each child or particularly creative adult has a town here. Where whatever they want to happen-- so long as it's good-- will happen."
"So who's city are we in now?" I ask. This is all very confusing.
"Yours. I brought you here because the numbers were messing with your mind. We needed to fix it. So many towns have been taken over by these numbers..." She let a 1 bounce off her fingers. "If you want to leave, they need to defeat whatever force is making you so..... number-y"
"Are Danie and Squeak and Maple and... everyone else who was taken over by numbers in their town? And you still never told me what you do."
"They are in their towns, yes, but I don't know if they are safe. I am your watcher, Savvy. I control your mind. And you control me. It's all very complicated and we don't have the time."
I sigh. "How do I fix these numbers?" I ask. Maybe she'll explain herself once my mind is clear.
"We need your mind to get back to normal. Savvy, think pink."
