Chatterbox: Inkwell
The world was chaotic. Everyone screamed and ran around, hands waving… the King laughed. Typical, silly humans. He turned away from the mirror and placed his hands on the crystal diamond on his desk. The clear surface swirled with dark power, purple energy snapping and crackling, and the mirror behind him showed a giant purple vortex opening in the middle of the city… the King laughed, clear and cold, channeling more energy into the diamond. The vortex grew, swallowing buildings, people… The King had achieved his goal.
Hazel screamed, clutching to a section of a broken building, her lower body flailing from the pull of the vortex behind her. She had to get away, but she was stuck, if she let go of the building, she would get pulled into the vortex… but if she didn't move, the vortex would swallow her anyway. She tried to adjust her grip… and that's where she made her fatal mistake. Hazel flew backward into the vortex.
Ray hustled the citizens into an abandoned military bunker. She knew they would have a chance of surviving here… unlike the millions of others already consumed by the vortex. Ray made sure the people stopped crying and raced back out into the storm… only to get sucked into the vortex.
The Watcher stared into his pool of dirty water. Images rippled across the surface; a brown-haired girl getting yanked into the King’s vortex, a girl with black hair with sunset-colored tips somersaulting through the vortex… buildings getting enveloped by purple energy… people screaming as their cars were pulled off the road into the vortex… the vortex. The Watcher hated it, despised it. It was the worst of the King’s creations that The Watcher had ever seen… and he had seen them all. The Watcher had been trapped in the King’s tower prison for 100 years… and he wasn't getting out anytime soon.

~Ray~
It was a couple hours after we heard a scream, and I was fast asleep.
A circular room… an oak desk… purple-fabric throne… and on the desk, a jewel. Crystalline, swirling with purple energy… so mysterious, so perfect… I didn't know why i was dreaming of this but i knew one thing: i needed that diamond. And then the diamond and its circular room melted, running down the sides of a wax candle… in a room with two plaid couches… a low table… and a child. Kneeling on the couch coloring on a pillow, smiling, showing off her missing tooth… black, straight hair just getting more tangled as she flipped upside down, hands touching the floor, legs and feet still on the couch. A woman comes in… same hair… same eyes… and a book in her hand… ‘cmon-cmon-cmon…’ the word echoes around the room, distorted, and the girl flips backward and bounds up the stairs after the woman… and they’re in another room, with a bed covered in stuffed animals… the girl all tucked in, the woman reading the book. And the girl closed her eyes, sighing happily, and the woman continued reading a page, then trailed off… kissed the girl’s forehead, and left the room, whispering, ‘goodnight my darling Ray…’

Hehe thanks. XD
I'll probably wait for someone else to go first though, I've already gone twice.
This was really cool! I like how you made this post a dream. You too, @Heroes.
(June 3, 2020 - 10:51 am)
Ack who am I kidding? No one's posting so... here I go. By the way, @Everyone, please don't let this die, it's such a great idea!!
Luna~
Ray is asleep. Hazel… seems to be asleep. I can’t see her that well from here. But me? I’m wide awake. I can’t stop thinking about that shout. Was it who I thought it was? And what was even happening to that person? Ugh. This is making my brain hurt. I lie down again, wanting to… just… go… to… slee… p...
I’m at school. Again. I’ve woken up, grabbed a cereal bar, gotten dressed, brushed my teeth. I’ve already packed my bag the night before, and so I grab it. And then I run out the door before my case worker can even say “Wait! Luna-Selene, you get back here this minute!” I pretend not to hear her. I don’t like my case worker one bit, so I always escape her this way.
Unfortunately, I’m so preoccupied with this issue that I run too fast- I’m already at school. I sigh and let out a big internal groan. Pull my hood over my and brush the hair out of my eyes with my fingers. When I walk in, everyone starts laughing at me. How rude. I sit down, and at the teacher’s glance at me, I pull down my hood.
Everyone laughs harder. Typical. I didn’t even do anything. Finally, school is over. I sprint out of the classroom, ignoring cries of “Stop!” from the teacher and gales of laughter from the students. Unlike usual, they haven’t said anything to me, but their words echo in my head.
“No family…” not true. “No friends…” NOT TRUE. “Weird moongirl…” I don’t mind that one.
And so on and so on.
Finally, I’m out of there. But unlike usual, laughter follows me. Down the path, into the forests… All of a sudden, a teenager appears in the forest. He’s holding an owl, stroking it. “Hey!” I try to say. “That’s MY owl!” but I can’t. The words won’t come.
The laughter gets louder. I turn around to tell those kids to just BUG OFF, but they’re not there. “Luna!” I pivot back to the boy holding AE. He’s looking up now, so I can see his face. He has reddish-brown hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes with a hint of- red, was it?- in them.
Cyris? He smiles. I’m about to say something to him when the laughter seems to be right in my ears, and when I go to yell at those annoying kids… there’s no one there.
Okay. Now I’m getting a little creeped out.
For good reason, as it turns out.
Everything starts to hum and glow purple. AE screeches. Everything is swallowed up by the purple.
The Vortex.
I can only watch, as the trees, my classmates, my case worker, my teacher… everything disintegrates. Except for me, AE, and… Cyris? That’s not what happened.
But then he disappears too- mostly. I can still hear him. “Luna… Luna… Luna…”
And I wake up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So yes. I decided to follow the... dream trend, shall we call it? @NOK and @HOO, hope you don't mind. You deserve full credit for that idea on this RP.

~Vortex~
Vortex didn't think this was real. He assumed that he might be dreaming, because everything was crazier than usual.
First, he saw a girl with white hair who smiled at him; then, he saw her being held by a jellyfish-like creature; then he saw an older woman in the same being's clutches; and then later memories came; he reached out to touch a furry silver creature and then HE was real, laughing and crying and flying and--
Vortex lunged out of bed with a startled cry, his strange eyes flying open. His heart thumped in his chest and he gasped for air; he had that dream almost three times a week these days. But now what had the dream been about?
He could never remember...
Vortex flopped back down, listening to the distant humming of the vortex. He closed his eyes and drifted back into uneasy unconsciousness.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Keeping with the dream scheme here! I realized it would be a good way to display some of Vortex's backstory.
