"BOO!"
Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
"BOO!"
"BOO!"
You jump back, startled. “What the heck!” you exclaim, your hand across your pounding heart. “How dare—oh gosh you scared me out of my wits!”
Well this just figures. It’s the last week of October and your annoying little brother is already playing tricks on you. This year it looks like it’s the hide-then-jump-out-from-inside-a-closet prank.
“Ha ha!” he says, doubling over with laughter. “You should’ve seen your face . . .”
You press your lips together, your emotions fuming as you grab the mask off his face. You narrow your eyes at it. It’s kinda scary looking, but in an odd way. It’s not of anything or anyone, but just a gauzy, black shadow. Curiosity replaces your anger, and you ask what creature its supposed to resemble.
He shrugs nonchalantly. “I don’t know.”
You stare at him. “I bet you stole it.” You’re joking and not at the same time.
He rolls his eyes. “Pfft no. I just found it on our doorstep when I went out to get the paper yesterday.”
You consider interrogating him some more, until you notice the other side of the mask, the part that goes over your face. You sigh and wave your hand, allowing you criminal brother to go free.
Once he’s out of view, you flip the mask over, and scrawled in a large print in black, permanent marker, is a message. Your instincts tell you that you’re the only one who can read it.

Dear Chatterboxer,
Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, only a few of the monsters that dare to venture out. Of course they're not real, right? Just people in costumes . . . anyway. You're cordially invited to a party celebrating the spookiest time of the year! Not just any party, a very unique and special one. You'll have fun, of course; nothing more. You can crash the party anytime, but I'd like a starting point of seven CBers, one AE and CAPTCHA each. Oh, and please specify everyone's gender and species. Instead of packing stuff, you get to describe your dream costume (yep, your companions can have them, too)! My services will pick you up a week from now, also known as Halloween Eve. And remember, this will be different!
Sincerely,
Mwa Ha Ha
P.S. You can start guessing who I am anytime; but look closely! I just gave you a big hint!

Wow, you immediately think, there aren't even any asterisks! You grin. Maybe this will be different . . .

Coming! Are you....Shadow Dragon?
I'm bringing Saphira, my Æ. She has blue hair and blue eyes, and she can morph into a dragon. Also, I'm bringing Luna, my CAPTCHA. She's a sassy grey wolf.
I will be wearing a black, knee length dress and black leather boots. Also, a black mask that covers half my face. I have large, feathered black wings and black hair that I'll wear in a bun.
Saphira: Let's do this!
Luna: *Who are you even dressed as?*
Dunno, but I like my costume so there.
(July 2, 2016 - 11:02 am)
Nope! And top. I might be able to make this work with a few people . . .

Halloween in June? Delightful! I'll be Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
(July 2, 2016 - 2:15 pm)
I'm bringing:
A notebook and ballpoint pen
The tablet that I don't have
Baking supplies
My binder full of pages of my novel
My Hermione Granger costume (I'm actually going as her for Halloween. I'v already got the fluffy brown hair down.
My AEs, Arwen and Jarnen, who is taking the place of Serene for a week.
My CAPTCHA Hazel
And that is my short packing list.
OMG Hazel said atic! Attic! Nice job, Hazel! Unless you mean... a tic? Oh no! Hazel has a tic! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...................
(July 2, 2016 - 5:33 pm)
I'm coming! If that's all right. I'd like to go as Luthien Tinuviel... though that might be a tricky costume to assemble. ;)
I would like to bring along my one of my AEs-- Hazelle. Edythe is already off on a Murder-Bout-Gone-Stagnant, and Hazelle has never been on one yet. Of course, I may come to regret this...
Why? What is there to regret? I wish to understand whether or no I have been slighted. Surely that is not unreasonable?
I did not intend that as a slight, Hazelle.
Your expressions and your intentions seem to differ with great recurrence.
Your English is better than usual, I see.
What does that mean to you? And you are changing the subterm.
You mean the 'subject'. Perhaps your English is still in need of practice.
You have yet to answer my question.
*sigh* Well, I get what I asked for, I suppose. Anyhow-- we're coming! I'm bringing Ginger along, as well (My CAPTCHA). Though I can't imagine why-- I don't know what I'll do if he dies!
