Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
"Happy Birthday
"Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me..." you mutter under your breath. You are so angry- how could your friends just show up at the door, drop their gifts on the top step, and dash away into the driving rain? Are they all avoiding you? Are they ploting against you, or perhaps playing some huge prank? If they are, you think, why choose to do it on my thirteenth birthday?
You stare gloomily at the pile of wet boxes covered in soggy wrapping paper now laying on top of your piano. Well, you think, might as well open one. Scraping off ruined SpongeBob SquarePants patterned tissue with your fingernails, you come across a chocolate bar wrapped in gold laying on top. It was one of those fancy Wonka ones with names you can never remember. Whipped Fudge Marshmallow? Nutty Toffee...Something? "Oh well," you say out loud. "Might as well eat it- seeing as nobody made me a birthday cake."
Peeling off the highly colored wrapper, you are dismayed to find that there is no chocolate inside. Was this all part of the prank? Then you spot a scrap of sparkly, gold paper. Curious, you pick it up and read these words:
Congratulations, lucky winner! You have been chosen as one of the lucky few to visit Mr. Willy Wonka's chocolate factory!!!! You shall partake in a seven day tour of the facility, and at the end- •••••••••••••!!!!!!!!
Huh? you think. Why is part of the letter blurred out?
Your tour shall begin in 48 hours, so pack thoroughly. And remember, Mr. Wonka is a busy man, and he shall not be held responsible for any abductions, murders, chocolate bunny attacks, or any overconsumption of candy during this tour.
Sincerly,
James Renendez, CEO of Wonks Delights
You are confused. Then it hits you. This is a golden ticket, a real golden ticket, addressed to you. You run off enthusiasticly to start packing. You do not notice the very, very fine print at the bottom of the ticket.
Your life is about to change.

Day 0, part 1:
"But I'm cold! It's freezing here, Joan!"
"Puck, I know you know that your bag of pranks is in my coat pocket. I am not giving you this coat!"
Puck smiled. Now she knew where Joan had hidden it.
A huge, blue dragon lumbered up the icy lane, its enourmous puffs of breath fogging up the chilly air. It glanced at the iron gate with distain- no gold anywhere in sight. In truth, I rather liked that gate, with its curly, cast iron designs and double w's. But Shadow was only after gold, and façade of my chocolate factory was so far dissapointing. For a moment, Shadow considered going back. For a moment, he almost made the right choice. But no -- Shadow decided to see the inside before critiquing my entire factory.
One by one, the CBers arrived. Hotairballoon complimented Katydid on her new hat, which was bright green. Poetic Panda, full of grace, glided down the street as if she were an Olympic Ice Dancer (which was sort of true, as the roads were frozen over) with her head buried in The Complete Collected Works of Robert Frost. Somebody marched towards my factory yelling something about braces, to which Volcano sarcastically replied something about tooth decay and peanut butter. Shifting Sands was yelling at Curio because he had stepped in her pet cloud Halo. And Cho Chang, all decked out in Hogwarts paraphenalia, was brandishing both her wand and lightsaber at CaykeTheCook, who responded with pie and spatulas.
21 CBrs together, thought Will T. There is bound to be a catastrophe.
Soon, all were gathered around the gate. They tried pounding on it, climbing over it, and saying random passwords. Nothing seemed to work untill Elvina yelled "Calabunga!" and banged on the gate with her fist. Then, the iron seemed to warp and wriggle untill it formed a lion's head! Sydney C. screamed and slipped on the icy walkway. Luckily, Critic A caught her fall.
"Insert your tickets!" the lion growled. It then stuck out its long, metal tongue.
Everybody stared.
"Did thu noth thear me? Inthert your thickeths!" the lion said with great difficulty because he still had his tongue stuck out.
Scylla was the first one brave enough to place her golden ticket on the lion's tongue. It whizzed in with a golden flash! The other CBrs soon relaxed and did the same. Once everybody's ticket was finally in, the iron gates creeeeeeked open. A gateway to the wonders beyond. The Chatterboxers and Alter Egos ran, slipped, and slid into the wild front yard of Wonka Chocolate Factory.
Nobody seemed to notice the gate snap shut behind them. They were too preoccupied with thoughts of chocolate, candy, and delight.
21 Chatterboxers shall enter the factory, I thought, watching from the Top Floor. But how many shall leave?

A blue dragon? One of the more interesting things people have imagined me as.
And also, l'm female.

Oh I am so sorry!!!! Sorry! *slaps face*

This Day 0 is great, just one more thing about Hallia. She's a pocket shape-shifter and rides on my shoulder. The biggest thing she can turn into is a dragon the size of a goat.
But I hate that.
Right. And she never transforms into a human.
Ever.

A green hat! Is it a beanie? I LOVE beanies!!!
(November 10, 2015 - 2:55 pm)
Scylla said that I usually ride on her shoulder. At this time, I'm so scared of all the people in one place that I'm hiding in Scylla's coat pocket. I'm a red panda right now. One last little thing: mfyp
