Chatterbox: Inkwell

"What's taking them so long?"

"I'm going to check on them right now." The boy informed the woman. "Good. If they're still in prep, they shouldn't be. I've told them multiple times--their makeup doesn't have to be perfect!" The woman barked. 

The boy sped off through the studio, searching for them. They had to be here somewhere...

They finally found the reporter in the midst of a nervous breakdown. "Won? Is something wrong?" The boy asked, while innerly panicking. 

"Everything's wrong! I uploaded the new character profiles onto a computer I can't access at the moment, MY HAIR IS A MESS, and whoever got put in charge of my makeup forgot the lipstick!" The reporter wailed. The boy continued panicking.

"Right...why not just fake it for a while, even though you don't...exactly...have the main people thingies memorized?" The boy suggested. The reporter sobbed (though, strangely enough, the boy couldn't see her tears, which should have been inky with mascara).

"Fine. Fine. I guess I'll continue--but still, how dare you, suggesting that I should improvise...."

"Welcome back to the Chatterbox News Network. Here we have reporter Won O. Gal, back with some of the latest news." A man announced.

"Thank you, Chris. Today we have more rumors of an 'attack' that many consider fake, and with good reason. Many of you have heard of vague rumors of attacking Glitches from beyond our This Month borders, and also the ravings of conspiracy theorists that insist that the tragic, incidental fire at the Chatterbox's one and only Sticky Note palace was set by 'invading glitches'. However, without proof, these theories count for nothing."

"Today, a large group of glitches was attacked and successfully transported back to their home." The reporter faded from the screen, to be replaced with a picture of several heavily-armed glitches in the middle of a forest clearing. "They were successfully tranquilized with tactics involving stealth and ranged weapons. There were no Chatterboxer injuries." 

The picture faded away, revealing the reporter once more. "The following footage was taken from a nearby trail camera." She announced as she once more disappeared, to be replaced with a video of two CBettes, and--and a boy they were pulling as they darted from the clearing. The video paused and focused on his eyes. Despite the bad quality of the video, and the pixelated zoom, it was clear--the boy's eyes were bronze-colored.

"Chatterbox Police have released an official statement saying that they believe the CBettes were attempting to transport the Glitch back to the borders of the Chatterbox, as he didn't seem to wish to go voluntarily. No real answers have been given, however."

"We would love to hear from you and what you think about these wild theories. Go to our thread at: ChatterboxNewsThreadName. Please comment--we'd love to hear from you! Back to you, Chris."
