CB Story
People fear what they cannot understand, and magic is not easily understandable. Magic and whimsy is the stuff of storybooks— Pleasant in concept, but thankfully not real. Definitely not real.
Except.
Sometimes, a child is born with a spark in their fingertips, able to draw the magic zipping through the air into their hands and do incredible things. It's heredity, but it's rare. Often, the magic will skip generations, or even wait eons before appearaing again.
Nobody knows this, though, because once a child like this is born, they are whisked off, to live a life different from everyone else, a life of treetops, and cool night breezes, and magic cupped in one's hands.
They are whisked off to join the Crew.
The Crew is a group that is few among the population of the world, tucked safley in a tiny forest in Nowhere, USA. There, the few that are graced with the power of magic learn. Learn how to use it to build and not to destroy, learn how to control it, and learn how to keep it to yourself.
It's not a bad life.
Just. . . It's hard not to wish once in a while that you were normal.
RULES
~ Only 10 people, please. I may stretch the amount up to 11 or 12, but after the story starts, the cutoff is the cutoff. No exceptions.
~ I pick your powers and the strength of your magic. You can suggest if there's a particular one you want, but keep in mind you may not get it.
~ Just sayin', you could die.
~ I am using the same system as Brookeria (your story is amazing, by the way, Brooke) with mains, secondaries, and tertiaries. I choose these, but please say your preference if it exists.
~ This is not a RP. You can write diary entries and such if you wish, but I control the plot fully.
OH, AND. . .
Hello! I'm new here, but I've been reading along and not posting so I know how this sort of thing works, I believe. I've also creepily stalked a bunch of you, but please, introduce yourselves. I'm Whimsy, I'm a nerd, girl gamer, and proud of it. I like writing, but I haven't written anything in a while so I may be out of practice.
If there is a story already existing with this concept, I shall apologize profusely, hand you chocolates, and please let me know how I can tweak this to make it unique!

Yes! *Does dance* I've been looking for one of these to join forEVER, but they're all full! So if there are still four spots left, I would love to be in this! I'm going to get really creative with my charrie, so watch out! (If I have to make my charrie more similar to myself, just tell me. I've never been in one of these before.)
Name: Let me see here; what's a name I'd like to have........How 'bout Heidi?
Code Name: Ummmmmmmmmmmm...*Three and 1/2 days later* Aha! CC--it stands for Couch Cushion, the most random thing that popped into my head! So she can go by CC or Couch Cushion.
Appearance: Bright yellow wavy hair. One blue-grey eye, one plain grey eye. Not the slimmest person in the world. Wears a lot of yellow; it's her favorite color. Has a slightly freckled face.
Personality: She's that person who 'doesn't get it' when someone makes a funny joke. In other words? Makes people laugh with her slightly dim-wittedness. (You know the lizard from Littlest Pet Shop? (Yes, I'm guilty of watching LPS.) But she's like the lizard.)
Would you like to be a MC: Yes.
Other: N/A; I'll tell you if I think of anything else.
Well, by this time I bet there are no more spots left! Here goes nothing, though. *Presses submit*
(July 12, 2016 - 3:40 pm)
Yay!!! Last spot! (I think?)
Name (Please make this an /actual/ name! It doesn't have to be your real one. In the story you will probably be refered to as your code name, if you choose to have one, which can be your CB name if it is. . . unusual): Asha Silvers
Code Name (Optional):
Appearance: (Humanize it, please.): Wavy black hair a few inches past shoulder length (and never tied up.) Tall and thin with green eyes, usually wears black clothing.
Personality: Quiet at first, but gets to be really loud once you get to know me. I am constantly singing and making Hamilton references (if I'm with friends.) Athletic, loves music, can be very serious at times and focused. Loves reading.
Would you like to be a MC? (Remember, I make the final choices.) I would love to but I don't have to be.
Other: Fire powers would be cool...
(July 12, 2016 - 4:54 pm)
Wait I'm changing my name to Eliza Silvers.
(July 12, 2016 - 7:46 pm)
Oh wow I did Eliza too.
We both know why this particular name appealed to us...
*glances at Hamilton book by bedside*
(July 14, 2016 - 5:09 pm)
Ha ha sorry didn't notice that! I'll change my name back to what it was!
(July 15, 2016 - 9:27 pm)
I believe this is the last spot available. . .
Code name: Joan Black
Appearance: Long wavy brown hair, dark blue eyes, scar running from the top of her left eye to the bottom of her right eye. Long sleeved black shirt, maroon hankerchief on her neck, breeches, and boots.
Personality: Quick thinker, quick temper, loyal, friendly once you get to know her better.
Preference: MC would be nice, if not then secondary. But of course, you pick.
Other: Never gives up in a fight unless absolutely neccessary. And, can she have weapons? If so, she usually carries a sword, and two daggers in her boots.
Also, welcome to the CB Whimsy! Hope you like it here!
(July 12, 2016 - 6:26 pm)
Name: Eliza
Code Name: Owlgirl
Appearance: Long light brown hair past my armpits, chocolate brown eyes, alabaster skin, usually wears hair down or in a neat ponytail with a black headband, wears jeggings and either a t-shirt that expresses a fandom or a comfortable tank top.
If you choose to include my wings by chance, they are mostly brown with some white.
Personality: Extroverted, optimistic, makes negative saracastic jokes but with a smile so it's kind of negative kind of not, likes making friends, loves reading and writing, not popular but she knows who everyone is and everyone knows her. When excited, can come across as a bit weird. Always making fandom references. She's hesitant when it comes to making big decisions, and prefers to plan things out.
Would you like to be a MC? Yes please, although I've said that already...
Other: Big Hamilton fan!
Also, I'm really excited for this!
(July 12, 2016 - 7:29 pm)
If you need a last name, then I'm Eliza Skylen.
(July 13, 2016 - 3:00 pm)
Spots are officially closed. The story will start once Starbringer posts her form. If not within a day or two this happens, I'll start with out her.
(July 13, 2016 - 10:20 am)
Since the Riddler has the name Eliza, and she posted twenty minutes before me, I'm changing my name from Eliza Skylen to:
Erika Skylen.
(July 14, 2016 - 5:12 pm)
Ooook then my name is Eliza! Ha ha sorry if this is confusing to anyone!
(July 15, 2016 - 9:32 pm)
Top! And Chip just said Cayc! Chip, are you trying to tell Cayke something?
(July 15, 2016 - 7:12 am)
Ok it's been two days Starbringer is not posting her form. Can we start? Also can you make a list of the MCs, secondaries, and tertiaries like Brookeira did?
(July 16, 2016 - 8:30 am)
I just posted the first installment, as well as the list! It's taking a while to go up though.
(July 16, 2016 - 2:11 pm)
Waugh! This dropped to the second page! Let's start now to bump it up back to the top.
Sorry, Starbringer, but you did not follow the rules and post your charrie sheet. We will have to begin without you.
I believe we have a good amount so we can have, say, 5 mains and 6 secondaries, so a good chunk of you will get larger parts. (The level of participation from secondaries varies.)
Characters:
MCS:
Brookeria (Well, Brookeria)
Winnie (Inktail)
Eliza (Owlgirl)
Heidi (Micearnice)
Joan (Erm, Joan)
Secondaries:
Danielle (Danie)
Hazel (Athena)
Angelica (Kestrel)
Asha (The Riddler)
Rose (Shadow)
And let us begin. . .
~ ~ ~
Part 1
"Be quiet, will you?" Brookeira hissed at her companion, her sea green eyes narrowing in concentration as she stared through the foliage.
Joan scowled and tried to adjust into a more comfortable postion. "Look who's talking."
"Yeah, it's you, again!"
"Of all the—"
The crunch of a twig interrupted their argument. Footsteps. The two girls froze. Joan bit her lip and nodded at Brookeria.
Brooke squeezed her eyes shut and focused only on the word she commanded to pound through her brain, and a pair of muddy green eyes. Now. Now. Now. She could hear herself saying it, in her head, and the eyes widened, then narrowed.
She opened her eyes. "Shadow got the message. The plan should activate right about—"
There was a whoosh, a strangled cry, and a sickening thump.
"—Now," Brookeria nodded grimly.
Joan slowly reached out and parted the leaves of the bush. "Inktail?"
"I hate doing this." Came the reply. Joan somersaulted out of her hiding place, Brooke following.
Winnie, known commonly as Inktail, stood over the prone body of the victim, hands open in front of her, a few last strands of bluey mist streaming into the air.
"S'okay." Joan put a hand on her shoulder. "She'll wake up soon."
"Yeah, I suppose." Inktail sighed, her straight black hair rippling in the breeze. "It just pains me that there's no other way."
"I know." Brookeria said softly. The three girls stood there for a moment, each in seperate worlds, enclosed in a box that formed their own thoughts.
Joan broke the silence. "We'd better get going. The others will be waiting. Winnie, can you—?"
"Not now." Winnie shook her head. "You're going to have to give me a hand."

More to come! Sorry this post ends weirdly, but I feel I really need to get this out there. Hope you enjoyed it!
