In the chatterbox,

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).

Mantis Darkkshadow 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

*climbs up Soren's arm* Could I immedieatly go explore stuff and have will grab the back of my hoodie while Harli is looking at his surroundings and Izzy is questioning you Mantis? Oh and I wouyld prefer it if my charrie was not suddenly reallly tiny in the story, seeing as this was Tyberious's idea of a prank.

Wait, so even if my first turn didn't get written about, I get to pick what I'm going to do on my second turn anyway? I'm confused, but whatever. For a second turn, I'll ask Mantis Darkkshadow what needs to be done.

Okay guys, from now on, you can only use your turns to do something that has a possibility of failing, Kay? (RTP was fine last time, as he could of missed something.)

You can suggest things to me, but i have no obligation to write them.

Quill~


Quill heard RTP make a loud noise and walked over, along with Spring Flower, to hear him make a noise of derision and disbelief, then say "The chatterbox archives!?! Hah! Hahahaha! They're a myth, a legend, nothing more! A legend created by those who believe that the chatterbox has always existed! Alright, so if this is the 'chatterbox archives', then where's the Skyheart Diamond?"

Mantis simply grinned, and said, "All right then, I'll show you. Come with me." He beckoned. "You too." He added to Quill and Spring Flower. He took them through a silver door into the building, which beeped, turned completely green, said, "Thank you for making a simple door very happy!" and finally opened, leading onto a spiral staircase that revolved, like a corkscrew, taking them so far down into the bowels of the earth- or was it nevershadow, that Quill could actually see lava and magma outside the glass walls. They finally came to a stop, and another door beeped, turned green, and made an even cheerier response than the first one, and opened.

The room outside was circular, with wood and steel walls that could never survive the heat and pressure if unenchanted. "Did you know," said Quill, randomly, "That the center of the earth's core is 10,000 Kelvins, or 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit?" Spring Flower, Mantis, and RTP stared at her for a second, than looked at each other confusedly, than looked at her again. Finally, Mantis tapped a passcode into a panal on the wall. A steel pedestal then emerged from the ground, on top of which was an enormous, electric blue diamond, about three feet from tip to tip, and around two feet wide. It glowed, and was the shape of an egg. The others were talking to each other in disbelief, but Quill just hear the roaring in her ears as she stepped closer... and closer... and closer, finally reaching out to lay her hand on it. A jumble of images raced through her head 
A beautiful dragon, shot down by a hail of arrows. In the seconds before she lands, she splits a rift in the air to a world of ones and zeros. The dragon, using only the power of her mind, creates a lush, green, self expanding world there. Thousands of years later, her dying act is to open this world to all those whose power of imagination is strong enough. She also lays an egg, but that is stolen and-
Quill yanked her hand away and woke to Spring Flower dumping a glass of water on her head. She spluttered, "Whermiwhahpnd!?!" Mantis, Spring, and RTP looked at each other. 
"You fainted." They said together. Quill almost laughed.
"Fainted!?! Ha! Yeah, I don't faint." 
"Then why," said Spring "did you just fall like a sack of potatoes, and then had to have us wake you?"
"Ehhhrm, well..." 
"Oh well, let's go up and get our teams."
"Teams?"
"Yeah, investigation teams! I think it's us-"
"Us?"
"You, me, and Panda. Anyway, i think it's us and Moonlight, in Scarley."
"I... see."
They left, and turned off the light, leaving only the light from the Diamond.
The murderer smiled from the shadows.
"It's all coming together now". they said, into a disposable Mephone. "We'll have them all dead in a week's time."
Quill looked at the sheet taped to a wall in the common room. It read,

I will probably be trying to conquer making my wings appear and disappear at my will (which could go either great or absolutly positivly terrible) For I am a new CBer and don't exactly have my powers under control.... heh
