Chatterbox: Inkwell
In the chatterbox,
In the chatterbox, anything you find will seem normal, from dragonwolves to flying chipmunks. That is why you were not very surprised when a cat walked up to your door and knocked, Its tail surprisingly strong for such a small creature. You came to the door. "Hi!" you said to the cat, assuming it was of the AE or CAPTCHA variety, "Whatcha got there?" The cat, of course, said nothing, for it was only an ordinary cat, but it did drop a letter onto the ground and then disappeared down the road. Now you were surprised. You stared after it a moment, then picked up the letter and walked inside, muttering, "Catwhisperers again."
You opened up the letter, (after checking for booby traps, of course. -it wouldn't be the first time you had been hit by a truckload of confetti or sticky notes after opening a letter-) and removed the letter, which read:
Dearest CBer
It is my dearest regret to inform you that two months two days ago, at around 24:30 in the evening, Sir Willoughby Tolkien Rothenberg III died. It was a perfectly natural death, and he died peacefully. Or that's what we thought. Today, new evidence has been discovered that shows that it was not, as we previously thought, a natural death.
He was murdered.
And we are recruiting people to come track the murderer down. You are one of them. If you accept this assignment, simply fill out the form below for you and each of your AEs that you wouldst bring along. (No CAPTCHAs, they're too sweet and innocent for this.)

Welcome to ChaBIL (CHAtterBox Invesigators League).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you couldn't tell, this is something similar to a ski lodge, with one exception, which is that after every installment you each get one turn, where you can come forward and say you're going to do something, such as hack a computer. Here's how that could go.
Dean L.: I'm gonna try and hack the computer.
Mantis: All right... okay, here goes!
They looked at each other, all of them knowing that there was no way out, until Dean said, "i'm gonna try and hack the computer." this gave them hope, and Dean began to type, determined. Numbers scrolled across the screen, and he was doing well. They heard a click, and they turned around. Several vents had opened. Out of them poured a greenish gas, and within minutes they had fallen unconscious.
However, if you had chosen a relevant skill, it could've gone like this:
Abby grinned and started to code, her fingers flying over the keyboard. Within minutes, the door was open. In a cave, the murderer growled in anger.
Have fun!
Mantis.

I think I might fall out of a shadow on the fall with my aes tumbling out behind me and landing ontop of me because that sounds like the kind of derpy thing I would do.
(September 8, 2018 - 3:40 pm)
No problem Mantis,
For a first turn, I, as a CSI agent, begin evaluating everyone and everything, including the bags under my dear cousin's eyes.
(September 9, 2018 - 11:39 am)
I observe. And take notes. ON EVERYTHING :)
(September 9, 2018 - 2:08 pm)
For a first turn I'd probably enter extremely clumsily while people are in the middle of things, and then quote either one of my fandoms or an Imagine Dragons song.
Did I do that right?
Viri says byme. Buy me? Buy you what?
(September 9, 2018 - 7:39 pm)
I'll probably fall through the ceiling, land flat on my face, then say something like, 'Sup! You guys are so much awesomer then me and I'll probably end up killing myself!'
Boo, if you unscramble that the right way, it's pretty much a cuss word.
(September 10, 2018 - 7:06 am)
I'd appear suddenly and silently somewhere in the room.
(September 10, 2018 - 1:40 pm)
i’d slide in silently and watch from the back
(September 10, 2018 - 5:17 pm)
I’ll awkwardly stand somewhere away from people on my phone, but talk to anyone who comes up to me.
I’ll politely greet everyone, then put on my headphones and stay quiet.

RTP~>
Red tailed panda, or RTP as his friends (and CBIA -ChatterBox Intelligence Agency- handlers) called him, had been surprised when he got the letter. Not because he was surprised to be chosen for a investigative team, but because it wasn't for the CBIA. This ChaBIL was a fairly new organization that had been formed by the Admins about a year ago that had already been involved in ending both the Second Rancor Incident/the Flying Chipmunk Incident and the Shadowfell Incident, both of which had been covered up for fear of mass panic.
And then, after the Shadowfell Incident, they had discovered a new portal frequency Nobody knew what had happened after that, other that the Admins had suddenly decided that ChaBIL had the authority to keep things secret from the CBIA. Hrmphle. Therefore, RTP had no clue what the Shadowfell ChaBIL had been up to, and he was surprised when, after stepping into the portal, it almost seemed like daggers were digging into his head and dragging out his deepest secrets to be revealed. It felt like years before he tumbled out of the portal and onto the dark pavement of a massive castle in the middle of a skyless realm. All around him, others were apearing out of those strange dark portals. Darrking and Soren stumbled out of the portals and fell on their faces. Darrking's AEs fell on top of him. Stardust immediately started taking notes. Spring Flower had bags under her eyes. A hooded stranger walked up to RTP and said, "Greetings. I am Darkkshadow. Mantis Darkkshadow.You are the one called Red Tailed Raccoon... no, Panda, Correct?" "Yes. Where in Shadowfell are we?" "You are not too far off. We are in the Nevershadow, An unpopulated sister plane to the Shadowfell." "I see. I am a member of the CBIA, and i would like to know exactly where we are." Mantis chuckled "this is the newly rediscovered chatterbox archives." "Wha-HUH!?!"
(September 10, 2018 - 9:54 pm)
"Wha-HUH?!"
That is my favorite part.
