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.

That was WONDERFUL!!! I loved it so much that I used three exclamation points, which is something I hardly ever do because it's very annoying.
My least favorite flower is a dandelion. Because it smells bad when you pick it and then it gets weird white goo all over your hands.
I don't like any flower that is not red or is not a carnation. Red carnations are my favorite flower.
Abcde, no one cares what your favorite flower is. What is your least favorite flower.
I already said that my least favorite flowers are anything that are not carnations and/or red colored.
I'm very sorry, Groundskeeper. My AE—
Alter Ego!
—is very stubborn. Let's just say that her least favorite flower is the Stinking Corpse Lily. For obvious reasons.

Wow! I really ennjoyed that. Are you Sirin, by the way? Random guess here.
And to answer your question... *groans* I don't know. My favorite is the California Golden Poppy. My least favorite might be Bittersweet? Or maybe Geraniums? And certain varieties of Echium aren't my favorite. (Echium, genus of the Pride of Madeira. PS, I really don't know this much about flowers, I got that info from the internet)
(July 22, 2020 - 3:28 pm)
ooh i love this! very good!!!
my least favorite flower is probably the Stinking Corpse Lily, just cause i hate giant creepy things and that is GIGANTIC EWW
so yeah.
heh.
good job again!
cant wait for the next part!!!
(July 22, 2020 - 4:58 pm)
Answer to your question: Umm...idk. I don't really spend any time around flowers. Maybe the Corpse Liky? Idk, I actually kinda like that one. *ponders*
......
I really have no idea.
None. I don't care.
I like this! I actually forgot I was in it.

The next installment will be out within a day! Thank you for the support!
All guesses are still wrong. Keep trying though!
(July 24, 2020 - 4:25 pm)
Sorry I didn't answer this before, I was on a trip, but my least favorite flower is thistle. I don't really mind the actual flower, but the leaves and stems are really sharp and painful if you touch them. They also really hurt to step on, which I have done.

I do apologize for thiis inconvenience! Sports just started up and practices are all morning. Without furthur ado: The next part
Day 1 Pt.2
~~~~~~~~~
Kyraa burst into room 2 jumping in glee and boasting about being first.
"Woah, calm down there Kyraa," Agent Winter said walking in behind her.
Summer skipped in laughing but ran right into Agent Winter. They tumbled to the floor. which was...
wood.
"Owww," Agent winter groaned.
"Get out of the doorway guys," Hummingbird said.
They picked themselves up and got out of the way. It wasn't until that moment that they realized they hadn't looked at the room. Room 2 had wooden floors, white walls, and high ceilings.
Kyraa didn't take long to take it all in and was already bouncing on one of the four beds. Hummingbird was captivated by all of the hanging plants.
"Oh my gosh! The Groundskeeper was right! Our stuff is here!" Kyraa shreiked out of the blue.
"Did you doubt her that much?" Agent Winter said still looking around.
~~~~
Skiies and Braoin.knocked down the door to room 1 quite literally. It came off of its hinges. Inside the room was the Groundskeeper.
"Seriously?" She asked with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry..." Braoin said.
"It was in the way!" Skiies said.
The Groundskeeper rolled her eyes before snapping and the door returned to its hinges.
"Wait," Reese now stood in the doorway, "Weren't you just-"
"Down there?" The Groundskeeper tilted her head, "Yes. Yes I was."
"I thought you said magic wasn't allowed here?" Reese walked into the room, "Why are you allowed to have magic?"
"Because I'm better than you!" She chirped and strutted out the door bumping into Phier.
"Sorry," Phier muttered under her breath.
Their room was quite identical to room 2. It just had a balcony looking over the lake.
"Wow! Look at this!" Skiies was looking at the bags on each bed, "It has my stuff!"
~~~~~~~~~~`
Room 3 was much calmer than the previous two rooms. Arithmancy gently opened the door and quietly squealed and jumped around when she saw the room. Winter, who was behind her awkwardly pushed past her and gasped when she saw the room.
Room 3 was huge. It had high vaulted ceilings, four beds, and one wall was a window. It overlooked the lake and was absolutely gorgeous.
PygmyOwl was pushed into Arithmancy who stumbled into Winter who fell over due to bad balance.
"Get up vampire," Barnswallow helped steady Arithmancy, "Need a hand?"
"Uh, no. I, uh, I'm good," Winter swallowed and got up.
PygmyOwl busied herslef with unpacking her books and setting up her flute.
"This is so cool!" Arithmancy said sitting on a bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Room 4 was an interesting combination to say the least. Skiies had burst into the room and was stunned by what she saw.
"Whatisitwhatisitwhatisit?" Reese said jumping up and down.
Skiies shuffled over a bit. Reese screamed.
This brought Braoin running quicker to get to the room. He had gotten pushed around and was still by the stairs.
Phier was already in the room. She was on the floor holding a flower.
There was a puff of mist and The Groundskeeper apeared, "What is it? Why are you-oh,"
Skiies rushed over to her as if she snapped out of the shock, "nononononononononono"
"WAIT!" The Groundskeeper screeched like a dying pterodactyl, "DON'T TOUCH HER!"
"....why?" Skiies asked visibly as shaken as everyone in that room.
"That flower, it's foxglove. Really pretty but really dangerous." The Groundskeeper pulled on some gloves and picked it up.
"But how? She should have been the last one up here!" Reese had started pacing.
The Groundskeeper froze, "That shouldn't be possible, they couldn't have, they don't know-" Her head snapped up, "Everyone stay in your rooms!" She raced out of room 4 andslammed the door shut.

(August 3, 2020 - 2:31 pm)
How do I feel today? Well, triumphant now that I've finished everything I need to do. And hungry; I feel a little hungry right now.
I guess I feel good? Normal-ish? Um, sad that Phier died. Is that okay?
(August 3, 2020 - 5:13 pm)
Wow! Great part! :D :D I feel . . . like drinking boba today!
