CB HOUSES!
I think Mei made one of these a while back... *sniff*
So, basically, you describe your house on the CB, you know, where you live.
Mine is a glass apartment building. The entire building is owned by me, making it a critical slumber party destination. I mainly sleep in the Penthouse, though. I have two butlers and a private chef. Although I live in a city-type building, I am surrounded by acres and acres of meadows, hills, and streams. I get around in a private airship. There is a helicopter landing pad on the roof.
Maybe we should turn this into an RP where we all play ourselves and visit each others houses!!!
Well, let's just say our CB houses for now! Later, y'alls!

In an alley in the busy city of Inkwell... (my one comment for the day)
~~~
A lone figure, small, possibly a child, fingers his or her velvet cape that obscures your view of her. All you can see is her back--and her cloak billowing in the wind like the sails of a ghost ship, a ship long sunk, where it's sailors sleep under the sea.
She has an item in her hand. It's gold glint is barely distinguishable in this dark alley. She walks through the alley calmly, and then reaches a brick wall. She smiles at it and swings it to the side--a false wall, a lie.
Where the wall was lies an ornate brass sun--looking as if it was from an ancient Aztec village, or perhaps a Mayan village, but it would not find it's place among their bare bricks.
At the very center sits a keyhole, smaller than imaginable. She takes out the item in her hand and puts it in the hole--it must be a key, it fits so comfortably into that place. She turns it, and then she vanishes. Just like that. There one moment, gone the next. The only thing left of her was the cloak, lying on the ground.
~~~
The girl comes to in a mountain bowl. In a valley, surrounded by tall, gray mountains, topped and covered with snow. There is one small gap for you to exit through the mountains...
There is snow everywhere on the ground, and snow seems to fall from the sky without there being a cloud in it. The sky is a gray canvas, but she doesn't mind. She loves the beauty of the mountains.
She pulls up her light blue dress and runs towards the center of this amazing, circular valley, where sits....
A house.
It looks like a replica of where the Weasleys live in Harry Potter.
Except...
The walls are made of a non-transparent ice, and the windows of a normal ice, still transparent. The bluish color of the walls is remarkable. She pulls open the white door, and her sister and brother call to her, laughing. She removes a parcel that she has been carrying from under her arm, and tosses it in.
Then she enters the house and closes the door, out of view.

I live in a tiny room in the back of a library. The library is on a street corner, in between the CB cafe and a clothing store, and it's very grand. It looks like it used to be one of those old Victorian homes, which it probably was. Despite how large it is, my room in the library is still tiny. It was once used as servants' quarters, so it has a dumbwaiter in the far wall that's connected to all of the other floors in the library. It's not huge (it is meant for carrying books, after all!) but it's big enough to fit a person. Other than that, the room is pretty normal. It has a small bookshelf with books I've snatched from the upper floors of the library on it, and others I've bought. There's also a small dresser, filled with my clothes. A mirror is hung above the dresser, and it's so pretty no one would be able to notice it was dug out of dumpster. My bed is pushed against the wall farthest from the entrance, and it too is very pretty. It, though, was not foraged from a dumpster, but given to me as a gift. A patchwork quilt is draped across the bed, and it looks like one of the quilts made by African American slaves in the 1800s. Also, the walls are covered in pictures. Some look like masterpieces, others like they were drawn by a clumsy six-year-old. They were all drawn by either me or Jammira, my AE. Oh, and Jammira has a bed too. It's in the corner of the room directly across from my bed, and looks rather simular to mine, except made of metal and much messier. We each have a side table, on which we put what little belongings we have. Together, we want to leave this back room and open an inn one day. Ah, dreams.

My AEs and I live in a giant sugar maple tree. It is 10 storys tall and is hollowed out with all of the rooms inside the trunk. It has loads of windows, the leaves are always in fall colors and a giant spiral staircase connects all of the floors. Old fashioned lanterns and hammocks hang from the branches.
ooh, I have an idea! Once all of the houses are in want me to make a map (I love making maps) of our CB neighborhood?

That'd be awesome, Nebula! You could add on the houses we've already described and keep adding houses as more and more people post!

I live far out in the countryside, in a quaint little farmhouse away from all the hustle and bustle if the city. Nugget and my Æs live with me, and we own acres and acres of land. All around there are rolling hills, mountains on the horizon, enchanting forests, fields of gold and green, and an old grey barn just down a hill. We can get anywhere in the CB fairly quickly, even though we're in such a rural area, by way of Winged Wolves who live in the enchanted firest beside our house. Gryphons, Pegasi, and small Tree Dragons are rumored to live there as well. Inside my house, there is me and Nuggets room, each Æs room, a kitchen (which also serves as a dining room) and a living room. Our house is always open to friends and neighbors, may it be in a messy state or not. ;-)
