Chatterbox: Inkwell

The last few rays of light danced along the clouds. The sun had officially set 20 minutes ago but you were still on the beach for some reason beyond me. It was quite relaxing with the waves crashing into the shore. 

A ray of light flashed into your eyes and you were blinded for a moment. You found that a bit strange. As you rubbed your eyes you heard a fluttering of wings. 

Once you regained your eyesight, you saw a little creature in front of you. It was all white except for a little black diamond on its chest. It reminded you of a baby polar bear with wings. In its mouth was a letter. 

You hesitantly held out your hand to take it and the creature dropped the letter into your mouth. It chirped happily and fluttered away. 

The letter in your hand seemed old. It was sealed with a wax seal stamped with a flower. No return address however it was addressed specifically to you and your current location. You carefully opened it and the letter flew right in front of you. You began to read:

Hello there fellow CBer,

I have written to you and a few others expressing my concern about a cabin. A specific cabin that is on a lake. You may have heard of it. Probably not though. It is called Et Flos Domum otherwise known as The Flower House. It has a beautiful garden and the bedrooms are flower themed but that isn't the point. Something has been going on. Besides it will be a relaxing experience. If you will come please fill out the form below and put it back in the envelope. Password=Necessity. The quicker you do the better.

Sincerely,

The Groundskeeper

You are a little surprised. You had never heard of this cabin before.

You notice how the letter never mentions how to get there or what lake it is on. After some deliberation you decide to fill out the form just to see if you can help in some way. Besides it's going to be a relaxing vacation. Right? 

Before you can change your mind you fill it out and put the form back in the envelope. The creature appears again, grabs the note from your hand and flies away. As you watch it you realize that it is almost completely dark. 

You turn to leave but realize that you are holding a flower. It seems to be a black rose.

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

RULES:

1. Yes this is a ski lodge

2. Max of 10 CBers

3. Each CBer may bring AT MAX 2 companions. Please fill out the form for them. 

4. At the end of each segment I will ask a question. Please honestly answer each question to make things easier for me. While these questions may not seem logical, trust the process

5. Please put the password. I will not be accepting anyone who does not put the password.

6. If two characters are shipped please let me know. I will try my best to write that in but I don’t usually do that. It is cringy. You have been warned.

6. Do not expect regular posts. I will do (hopefully) at least one post a week but we will see. 

7. Please, try and guess me. 

8. Read through all of the rules again!

You may proceed with caution. 

You may have noticed two 6's... 

You also may have noticed that I did not wish you well or tell you to have fun…

I have my reasons.

Cool! Can I bring my Æ Reese? Idk if she'd take up a spot or not, but if she doesn't, I'd love to bring her. (also, I noticed the two 6's)

Name: Agent Winter (Win)

Age: 13-15

Gender/pronouns: Female, she/her

CBer, AE, or Captcha: CBer

Appearance: Short, curly blue hair with a side undercut, bright blue eyes, and freckles. I wear a white hoodie with "OH MY COTTON SOCKS" (it's a video game reference) on it in teal letters, and torn, acid washed denim shorts.

Personality: Energetic, creative, kind and a good listener, easily excited, sometimes very emotional. (Reese: She cries every time she watches Hamilton!) (Win: Shut up, Reese.) I'm also independent and a bit reckless, and I tend to be a bit impulsive. I have a temper, but I think I'm okay at controlling it. 

Luggage: A ukulele, an assortment of pencils in varying degrees of sharpness, a dagger, my sketch pad and a set of pens, a skateboard, my laptop, my phone, and my bluetooth headphones.

Powers(optional): I can control snow and ice, to a certain extent. 

What would you do if a leaf blower was blown at full speed in your face: With my CB powers, I would create a block of ice inside the tube of the leaf blower, thus overloading it so it wouldn't work. Irl, I would try to grab it and redirect it at the person blowing it at me.

Appearance: I have short, spiky black hair and yellow eyes. I wear a black crop top with a teal crescent moon spray-painted onto it, and torn black jeans and black sneakers. I also wear a silver hoop earring, which is enchanted to help me control my shapeshifting power. If I don't wear the earring, my powers are controlled by my emotions, which is... uh, chaotic. Speaking of shapeshifting, I'm a longhaired black cat with yellow eyes when I'm in my cat form.

Personality:I'm basically a more extreme version of Win? I'm super energetic, daring, and reckless, and I almost never think things through. I'm very high-energy and I get distracted easily. I've been told I'm egotistical, but I'm not, I'm just incredibly awesome and I know it! 

Luggage: My skateboard, some spray paints, a few cans of tuna, and a water bottle.

Powers(optional): I already told you. I can shapeshift into a cat. I'm amazing.

What would you do if a leaf blower was blown at full speed in your face: Turn into a cat, scratch the person with the leaf blower, then get the heck out of there.

What do you eat for breakfast: Bagels with cream cheese and lox! I'm a cat, what can I say?

I am delighted to have you! Reese I will discourage any graffiti that I do not authorize. I will catch you and you will be disciplined by cleaning. Please come to me if you would like to graffiti anywhere. I do not believe that security cameras are necessary for this cabin.

Day1 Pt 1
~~~~~~~
PygmyOwl sat in a chair studying the black rose she had received the previous night. Abcde was flouncing about shouting that she couldn’t find her notebook.
“Can you be quiet for like five minutes?” PygmyOwl shouted to Abcde.
“I am missing my very important notebook!” she said, offended. She ran past PygmyOwl multiple times.
“And I am trying to figure out how we get to this cabin, wherever it is,” PygmyOwl muttered the last part under her breath.
“I want to know too! I just want to find my notebook!” Abcde said from behind PygmyOwl.
Both Abcde and PygmyOwl shrieked in surprise as the black rose began rising in the air and spinning.
“What is happening?” Abcde asked, backing up. 
“I don’t know!”
The flower then explodes, blinding PygmyOwl and Abcde. When they finally could see again, they noticed that they were standing in front of a cabin. And they weren't the only ones.
“This is SO COOL!” Hummingbird yelled, jumping up and down.
“Woah,” Arithmancy was standing beside them, in awe.
“It was just… How did we… WHAT?” Agent Winter was standing behind PygmyOwl and Abcde. She had a ukulele in her hand, “I swear I was not holding this before”
“Was that magic that just, like, brought us here? How did we get here? WHERE ARE WE?” Reese was freaking out.
“Please everyone calm down.” a figure said. Her voice was soothing and soft. 
Everyone whipped around to see a girl. She was wearing a lavender high low dress with off the shoulder sleeves. She had long brown hair that went down her back and wore silver rimmed glasses. 
“Welcome to Et flos domum! I am the Groundskeeper.” She said with a smile. Some people thought she seemed familiar but couldn’t put their finger on it. "all of your luggage is inside the rooms already! Please follow me." She turns around and  strides toward the cabin her dress flowing out behind her. 
The CBers and AE's go through a beautiful flower garden. It is full of roses, daisies, daffodils, and orchids. As they aproached the cabins a few of them could no longer walk foreward. Actually only Summer, Barnswallow, and Winter could continue going. 
"Hey! Wait!"  Abcde yelled, "We can't get through!"  
"Oh right!" The Groundskeeper rushed back over to the group "We have to deactivate your powers."
"Excuse me?" Luminescence said
A few people started arguing with The Groundskeeper but she just offered them a pill, "This will deactivate your powers for the duration of your visit." She offered it to the group.
They all ended up taking it, a few begrudgingly. A certain someone smiled to themselves. This might be easier then they thought.  
They walked up to the double doors.  The groundskeeper pushed them open and the entire group gasped. Inside was a great hall. It had two winding staircases, one going up and one going down. There were huge stained windows with different flowers in each. the light created patterns on the wood floor. 
The Groundskeeper smiled, "Upstairs we have four rooms. In room one we have Heroes, Raining Rainbows, Luminescence, and Abcde. In room 2 we have Hummingbird, Summer, Agent Winter, and Kyraa. In room 3 we have PygmyOwl, Winter, Barnswallow, and Arithmancy. In our last room, room four, we have Braoin, Skiies, Phier, and Reese."
They all raced upstairs pushing, shoving, and yelling except for Phier and Hummingbird. Once the others made it up they calmly walked up.

What is your least favorite flower?

Can't wait for the next part! My least favorite flower's probably oleander, cause, you know, it's deathly poisonous.

Am I supposed to answer, too? If so, I... well, I don't spend that much time around flowers. Um, maybe clover? I don't really know that many, sorry! 

submitted by Summer, age tau, Nowhere at all
(July 21, 2020 - 4:15 pm)

Oh I just realized I wrote something wrong in the bios! Phier talks in bold and Kyraa talks in italics! Sorry. I got a bit confused with that part. Also, very interesting and Kyraa is very happy she got split up with her sister and chaperone 

Skiies: I don’t like  Marigolds, they smell and the color is too bright.

Kyraa: Well, I like most flowers but if I had to pick a least favorite it’d be roses. They have too many thorns.

Phier: Same as my sister in that I like all flowers, but I suppose I’d pick Phlox. They’re really big and they make scary shadows in the night... 

Srrsly, Phi? OF ALL THINGS FOR YOU TO BE SCARED ABOUT YOU PICKED SHADOWS? 

She’s kinda got a point there

What? They’re really tall too and when I turn into a cat and go walking next to them the wind blows them and they almost touch me as if they weren’t scary enough already and then I go walking around at the night and all of the previous stuff happens except it’s dark and it makes thing more scary an-

Alright. We get it. Chill. <Whaddya have again the nighttime anyways it’s great it’s the best time of day>
