Hi! I'm not
Chatterbox: Inkwell
Hi! I'm not
Hi! I'm not trying to copy anyone (sorry if someone else has already made something that's basically the same) and I'm still new to the Chatterbox, but I thought that we could do something where people can write a story together. Basically, one person writes a sentence that starts a story, and the next person writes another sentence that continues that, and then the next person writes another sentence that continues that, and so on. Is this a good idea?
First sentence:
The wind was fierce that day, whipping through the gray cloak that belonged to the figure standing on an outcropping.

They crash against the smooth cliff, as though trying to knock it down, before retreating to try again. It was curious watching the waves do the impossible, and yet never giving up, and perhaps someday making the cliff she was standing come down. How resiliant the ocean was.
Okay, three sentances. Sorry? I really hope that y'all will let that slip by (again)

Prologue
The wind was fierce that day, whipping through the gray cloak that belonged to the figure standing on an outcropping. No other person was in sight–only the figure stood alone. The figure was like a statue–still and cold, forever gazing over the landscape, not minding the weather at all.
It was the kind of day that you could almost feel the magic in the air. The fox stood still next to the cloaked figure for a moment, before looking up at his friend, clearing his throat. “Sir,” he said politely. “It’s time.” The figure replied, “I was afraid so. But it must be done if the world is to survive…” “I’m not sure if the plan will work,” the fox said uneasily. Suddenly, a gust of freezing wind hit them. “It has to,” the figure said, shivering. The fox swished his tail saying, “Yes. I know. We can only hope.”
It was raining again, and as much as Amber loved the rain, she wished the sun would come back again. She watched the raindrops splatter against the window, making it difficult to see the cliffs and ocean. Wrinkling her nose, Amber sighed and glanced back down at her book, but the words blurred together like the raindrops on the window outside. She sighed and laid down her book, wondering why it was so rainy lately. Amber stood up, then pulled out her coat, having a strange yearning to go outside, even despite the pouring rain. She walked out the door, and the rain felt… different, somehow. It felt sharper, but almost soft, like a hard promise. Amber stepped onto the rocky cliffs overlooking the ocean and watched the waves. They crash against the smooth cliff, as though trying to knock it down, before retreating to try again. It was curious watching the waves do the impossible, and yet never giving up, and perhaps someday making the cliff she was standing on come down. How resilient the ocean was.

Next sentece: Amber stood there a while, contamplating the beautiful mess of the waves.
I rounded up all the senteces so far, and this has gone really far! Also, the text above might appear differently because I typed it in Google Docs XD.

She stood there awhile, slightly entranced by the rhythmical waves, despite getting wetter from the rain with each passing moment, but it was almost as if there was magic in the air...and her hunch was correct.

In fact, there was something magical going on at that very moment, something that, although she didn't know it, she would eventually be a part of.

Something that could shatter the sea,and everything surrounding it.

Hmm, so maybe this is a new paragraph? I'm thinking this is a new character/place. Just to clarify so we don't get off track.
New sentence: "Where is he??"
(March 30, 2024 - 8:06 pm)
"I don't know, I've looked everywhere!"
(April 1, 2024 - 8:03 pm)
The panicked wolf looked up at the cloaked figure.
(April 2, 2024 - 2:20 pm)
"The plan won't work without him!"
(April 2, 2024 - 4:16 pm)
"Then we must find him! Where did you last see him?"
(April 2, 2024 - 6:39 pm)
The wolf sighed. "By the fountain, ma'am."
SORRY i know it's two sentences but I just really wanted to add in the bit about the fountain...
(April 3, 2024 - 7:02 pm)
"Well, can you look there and get the others to search, too?" asked the figure.
(April 5, 2024 - 8:05 pm)
"Yes, of course," the wolf said."
(April 9, 2024 - 5:54 pm)
Next sentence:
The wolf bounded off into the shadows.
The wolf is different from the fox, right? I'm getting a little confused XD
(April 13, 2024 - 1:40 pm)
Oh, hmm... what if, the cloaked figure is the leader of this club, and all sorts of wild canines are in it. The fox and the wolf can be the main ones in the story though, sound good? And should we move back to Amber now?
