CB Time Capsule
Hey everyone! Some of you might have heard of time capsules, where you take a container, fill it with newspaper clippings from your time, diary entries, one of your favorite toys (WHY WOULD YOU BURY A TOY THOUGH!? Oh my irene, I'm a "mature twelve year old", ignore that part. I totally don't still have toys. Mainly sword toys. But that doesn't matter, because I DON'T HAVE ANY TOYS. Totally.), and things to let the future generation know about you and your time period.
Cricket Media has been around for a long time, right?
So, here's my idea.
WE BURY A CB TIME CAPSULE! *throws confetti and glitter everywhere*
Okay, this is how it works. Fill out this form (you don't have to do all of it) and I'll copy it into one CB Time Capsule thread and then bottom the thread, for future generations of CBers to read while combing through the back threads for their threads. Here's the form:
Name (you may include your real first name if you wish, but I respect privacy and are by no means asking you to do this):
A copy+paste part of a thread or comment you like/remember clearly/was important at the time/just wanna post:
A little piece by any AEs or CAPTCHAs you might have:
Something about yourself:
Other:
And that's it! I'll post mine once this thread is up.

Pleazse!
Name: Inktail
A copy+paste part of a thread or comment you like/remember clearly/was important at the time/just wanna post: I wrote this as part of my HUNG3RGAM3S thread. Thank you so much, TOP! and Top pity!
I guess I'll just start. It will switch between all the MC POVs. First up, Owlwings (chosen randomly)! GUESS ME! :D
Owlwings (KG{ok if I call you that?})~
Owlwings walked through the ThunderClan camp towards the medicine den. "Hey, Autumnbreeze!" She cried.
The ThunderClan medicine cat poked her head out and smiled at Owlwings. "Come in, I've been expecting you!" Owlwings' pelt twitched. How could Autumnbreeze have been expecting her?
Owlwings walked in and sat down inside the den. Autumnbreeze sat across from her. Neither she-cat said anything for a few minutes, Autumnbreeze's green eyes boring into Owlwings' yellow and gray ones. Finally, annoyed, Owlwings spoke.
"So what did you want me here for?"
Still looking at her carefully, Autumnbreeze replied. "I had a dream from StarClan." Owlwings wasn't impressed.
"Congratulations," She said sarcastically. Autumnbreeze's tail twitched, but she said nothing. The old medicine cat had learned about Owlwings' sharp toungue.
"I had a dream from StarClan," She repeated. "In this dream, Sunstroke came to me." Owlwings gasped. Long ago, Sunstroke had been a great warrior of ThunderClan, the cat who got ThunderClan the territory they had today.
"Go on," She said, intreigued.
"Sunstroke came to me. And he told me something. Something very important." Autumnbreeze was being very vague, and Owlwings was tired of it, but she held her tongue. "He said, "Flying owl on wings of souls kept must head to the large clearing." Over and over, as if he needed me to remember it. I think it's a prophecy including you and Soulkeeper."
Owlwings quickly dismantled the prophecy out loud, muttering quietly. "Flying owl on wings of souls kept, Owlwings and Soulkeeper...head to the large clearing...that must mean Soulkeeper and I need to head to the tree fell place!" Owlwings said, with equal portions horror and excitement. The treefell place was dangerous, but not if you knew how Twolegs would act.
"Go!" Autumnbreeze smiled. Owlwings scurried to the warriors den.
"Soulkeeper!" She screamed. Soulkeeper poked her gray tabby head out.
"What, Owlwings?" She asked testily.
Owlwings grabbed her by the scruff and hauled her into the forest, Soulkeeper protesting the entire way. Finally, they were halfway to the treefell place and Owlwings let go of Soulkeeper.
"I'll tell you on the way. Keep up!"
+×÷=+×÷=+×÷=+×÷=
Soulkeeper (Kestrel)~
"...so we need to get there soon!" Soulkeeper finished urgently. Owlwings had just finished telling her about what Autumnbreeze had said. The two she-cats raced through the forest side by side until the treefell place came into view.
It was overrun with Twolegs!
Soulkeeper shrank into the shadows. One Twoleg noticed them and walked over.
"Hello, you must be Soulkeeper and Owlwings." Owlwings nodded quickly.
"I am Hung3rGam3s. (Pronounced Hun-g-ee-r ga-m-ee-s) Don't worry, these Twolegs are friendly. We won't hurt you." Soulkeeper couldn't catch what the tall girl said, but it sounded like "yet." She shivered.
Hung3rGam3s led them into the clearing before clapping her hands loudly. "Hello, if everyone could please line up. When I Cal your name, tell us who you are, your fandom, your age, and a little bit about yourself. First, Soulkeeper."
Soulkeeper stood up, flushing red (as only a cat can do). "Well, I'm Soulkeeper. I am from ThunderClan, which is what I assume you mean by fandom-"
Hung3rGam3s interrupted here for the rest of the Twolegs. "She's from the Warriors fandom."
Soulkeeper continued, ignoring Hung3rGam3s. "I am 12 moons and I am a warrior." She sat back down and felt Owlwings put her tail around her.
"Owlwings," Hung3rGam3s called. Owlwings stood up.
"I'm Owlwings, I am from-what was it you said? The Warriors...fandom?- I'm 26 moons and I am also a warrior." She sat down as well.
Hung3rGam3s glanced at the sheet of paper in her hands. "Lilly." One of the Twolegs stood up. She and another of the Twolegs were dressed in long black clothes that fell to the floor.
"I'm Lilly. I am from the Harry Potter fandom. I'm 16 and I'm in my 5th year at Hogwarts."
"Abbie."
A girl with a short, wavy, yellow pelt (hair) stood up. "Hi everyone, I'm Abbie! I'm Harry Potter as well. I'm 13 and I'm only in my 2nd year. Also, I love reading!" The girl sat down. Soulkeeper stared at her strangely.
"What's reading?" Owlwings hissed. Soulkeeper shrugged her shoulders and shushed Owlwings.
"Whiteout?"
A large creature that Soulkeeper had never seen before stood up. She was so tall, her shadow completely covered both her and Owlwings.
"I'm out of white. Firey wings on dragons and teenager NightWings." The odd "dragon" sat down. Everyone simply stared at her for a moment, before swiveling back to Hung3rGam3s, who called out, "Er, Char?"
Another "dragon" stood up, this time, a red one. "I'm Char. I'm in Wings of Fire fandom, I'm 24 moons and I'm a SkyWing." She sat down gruffly. Everyone shifted carefully in their seats, and Owlwings hissed in Soulkeeper's ear again.
"Don't get on her bad side, geez..."
"Neri?"
A girl with a yellow pelt stood up. "Neri Skywalker, Star Wars. 16. Jedi. Don't mess with me." The girl sat down and an awkward silence spread over the clearing.
Hung3rGam3s cleared her throat and spoke. "Uh, Carriena."
Carriena stood up and tossed her red pelt over her shoulder. "Carriena Garten, Star Wars. I'm 14 and a bounty hunter."
"Finally, Kira."
A girl with super pale "skin" and brown "hair" stood up. "Kira. The Giver. Age 16, Reciever." She sat back down, looking straight at Soulkeeper, who shivered. She wasn't sure if she liked this girl.
+×÷=+×÷=+×÷=+×÷=
Kira (Inktail)~
"Right, well, now everyone should know everyone better, and I can explain a little." Hung3rGam3s spoke. I switched my gaze to her. She was a very pretty girl, with pale blue eyes and yellow hair. When I say yellow, I don't mean blonde. I mean YELLOW. When she spoke, she spoke with such a sense of authority that no one else here could speak with.
"I know you're all wondering why you're here. This is what's known as a "Fandom Hunger Games.""
I sighed. My community was rather boring, but I'd trade anything to get back to my Reciever job right now. "In a few minutes, I'm going to blindfold you all. One of you will be led by me into a random place in the forest. The rest of you will wait here. And I promise you, no, the cats will NOT have a bigfer advantage just because they live in the forest," Hung3rGam3s looked around as she spoke, daring anyone to interrupt her or protest.
"Once everyone is in the forest, I will yell, "Begin!" This is when the Fandom Hunger Games will start. At that point, you are free to do ANYTHING. You can team with others, you can find resources, whatever. But NO ONE will exit the forest until I say. Last person out alive wins," Hung3rGam3s' lips curled into a smile.
Everyone started whispering until she spoke again. "Some of you will be killed by each other." She looked around us to show there was no choice aboUT that.
"Some of you will die of...other causes." The whispers started up again.
"But I guarentee you this. Only one person will emerge alive." This last part Hung3rGam3s' voice dropped to a whisper, and everyone leaned in to hear it. Shivers ran up my spine. I quickly glanced at my opponents. The Harry Potter girls were weak, and would be easy to best. There was one group eliminated. The Warriors cats were tougher, but at the end of the day, they were just cats. Another group gone.
The Star Wars girls would be hard to beat, but if you bested them, your toughest group was gone. The Wings of Fire dragons would be tough, especially the red one. They were defenitly my biggest competition.
'And what about you?' I asked myself. Was I weak? It didn't help that there was only one from my village. The others would probably see me as easy pickings and go for me first, so I'd have to find some excellent hiding spots.
I snapped out of my thoughts at the sight of Hung3rGam3s blindfolding the girl Lilly. One by one, everyone got a different colored blindfold. Red for Lilly, blue for Abbie, lavender for Neri, scarlet for Carriena, orange for Char, black for Whiteout, silver for Owlwings and yellow for Soulkeeper. Finally, Hung3rGam3s got to me. Taking out a dark green blindfold, she wrapped it around my head. As I breathed in, I was aware of a faint, sweet scent.
I didn't remember anything after that.
Neri (Cho)~
Begin.
The word rang through my conciousNess and my eyes snapped open. I pulled off the stupid blindfold and threw it on the ground, immediently taking in my surroundings. Lots of trees. A fallen log. A leather backpack with my lightsaber, a sword and a kinfe. And a river. No one in sight.
Immediently, I put my lightsaber in its holder and grabbed the knife. I rooted deeper in the backpack and discovered a canteen and a plastic tuppeware for food and water.
I filled the canteen at the river and drank deeply. As I drank, I thought about that lier, Hung3rGam3s. She said...
What did she say?
All I remembered were the rules.
Kill.
Kill.
Kill.
"Stop!" I screamed. The yelling voices in my head calmed and recoiled, and I prioritized my options.
I need to find food and shelter, and maybe someone to team up with. Then I could backstab them when the time came. I put everything in my backpack and set off through the trees, using my knife to slash through the vines. I hadn't been walking for more than five minutes before I heard voices. I pulled my lights aber and walked into another clearing, coming across Soulkeeper and Kira. What an odd matchup.
They hadn't seen me yet. I hadn't moved before a dart shot through the bushes, hitting Kira in the leg. She immediently slumped to the ground. Soulkeeper leapt into the bushes and I dived for Kira, pulling the dart out of her leg. Just a tranquilizer. She'd be fine. I heard yowling and yelling coming from the bush before Soulkeeper tumbled back out, on top of Lilly.
I stood over Lilly, Soulkeeper darting behind my legs.
"What should we do with you." I asked her. She trembled. Time for the kill.
Or was it?
More later, bedtime! :)
A little piece by any AE's or CAPTCHA's that your might have: Meadowpelt here! Finally, WE get to talk! Oh, shut up, Riverstone. I'm Singsong.
Mili here. :)
Something about yourself: Oh geez. Lemme think. I've gotten much more into dystopian in the past year. My CBverseriary is Feb. 1st... I love writing! XD
Other: Naw thanks. :)
(March 4, 2017 - 9:23 pm)
I really liked the thread section, but it was a little long.
(March 5, 2017 - 4:20 pm)
Yeah. You can cut it, sorry. I didn't realize. :P
(March 8, 2017 - 9:46 pm)
This is an amazing idea, Icy! I think it would be cool if every year, orr every 6 months, somebody brought this thread up to the top for new CB generations to read. Just an idea.
Name: LilyPad, was BookBug
I don't know how to copy paste, so I'll just list a few threads that I thought were important:
Ultimate CB guide
Drawing everybody on the CB (Ultimate CB project) by Clouded Leapord
Compliment thread!
Lots more!
Hey, aren't you going to give me a say?
In what?
This thread is going to be past through history, and we're a part of history!
Yeah, a big part!
You're point being?
You get to say stuff and we dont!
Your saying things right now!
Quick, I'd better right something before they delete my post! I love soccer, singing and rabbits! I also live in Australia! I joined in late November, and since then I've visited the CB nearly every day. The CB is amazing, and we are all lucky to be part of this fabulous community.
Again, cool idea Icy!
(March 4, 2017 - 9:24 pm)
I am not following the plan, but here is this:
I don;t know how you will judge me. Am I destined to a desolate tomb in the frost-covered lands of EDM-embraced Club Cyberpunk, like my old AEs? Am I the villian of this period in CB history? Am I an amazing person who will mkae stories that inspire and engage? Or am I destined for the slow fading that I have done so many times so many other places, and with so many things. Will my legacy fade like Bob, who has not appeared in a thread for months? Or will I diseappear one day, as sudden as my entrance.
I hope that someday, somewere, somehow, someway, I will have a printed version of the Mystery Thread or Boarding Schhol RPG in my office, or home, or bookcase, or in the virtual world I have taken over.
CB is probably not something which will dominate my thought forever, or even for more than one year, but at least, I have some long threads which will become moss-covered in page 128 of Inkwell.
(March 5, 2017 - 12:30 am)
YESH! We should top it every month, so newer CBers can add theirs and so forth. Should we create ones for the people who have already left, too? And then some threads to remeber them by?
Name: Claaws, though my real name is Riley
Thread (ya all know what this is gonna be...): SPIRIT ANIMALS! Basically been doing this thread SINCE I JOINED THE INKWELL. (Which was July sometime. I've been on Kyndom a lot longer.)
Expert from it:
~SJ
It was lunch.
I had scrubbed my elbow seventy thousand times in the girls room, but I still traced of bird barf.
"Hey I.wonder what they did with Madi." MA said plainly. "Wonder when she will be back."
"Hopefully never." I grumble. They both ignore the comment.
At lunch we sit with a few other friends, chatting and debating about the best fashion trends. Then someone brings up Madi. "Did you see that? It was like the girl transformed. And bit Madi. I wonder how many stitches it takes."
"How could the doctors look at that kind of stuff all day? All the blood everywhere. I wonder if they know what happened."
"Shut up I'm eating."o
"Wonder if she could pick the colour like you can with braces."
"She had it comming."
"Hey staying positive here!"
"Who cares?"
"Um, excuse me?" I turn around. Two girls were looking straight at me.
"What?!" I spit. I'm sorrta offened by all the girls trying to be nice to Madi. After everything she's done!
"Oh-erm, can we talk to you about that-"
I get up as she quickly trailed away. MA and AJ get up to.
"Alone." The other girl says flatly. "About that." She nodes to the note sticking from my back Jean pocket.
Who else knew about this crush?
~~~~~~~~
I hesitantly follow the red-headed girl and the short white haired girl. I have never seen the red headed girl before, but i knew the white haired girl. We were freinds in sixth grade. Her name is Piper.
We come to the quite science room, and i scrunch my nose as i smelt the owl pellets.
Piper glances at me then turns to the other girl and whispers something. The girl turns around as Piper darted over and shut the door.
"Im Elysia." she says. "And-we got the same notes."
I yank it from my pocket and glance down at it.
9:15. Science room. Come alone.
Was it not about my crush then?
"You-you heard about the Madi insidant. Right? Well-I-I, am that girl. Who transformed into a hamster and, bit her."
I froze. "Transform???!!!!"
Piper looked at me with a slightly tilted head and a raised eyebrow. Then the other girl-Elysia, suddenly started to move. Well, in a very weird way. Her nose was moving, no growing, and so was her ears. And her eyes moved to higher on her face and turned a deep green. Then she started to have-fur, yep it was fur, grow up and down her hole body. Then she srunk, no she grew but her legs shurnk. Then her hands and fingers shrunk, and her fingernails grew and curved into the ground. Her tail lashed. Her eyes narrowed. She was a fox. A FOX!!!! I stepped back towards the door as the fox-no, Elysia, advanced. Piper, who was behind her, squealed. "Why are you so shocked? Thats why we have the note. Because all of us can shapeshift."
I glanced behind me and saw her whickedly long teeth. Thats the reason she stopped being freinds with her. She had those teeth. And every time she looked at them......
She thought of a hamster.
Realization slamed into her like a wrecking ball.
The teeth, the short hair.
She was that hamster. The one who bit Madi. The one who bit me.
I pulled up my shirt. A scar, not as bad as it once was, streached across my right side. The bite from that hambster had caused my appendix to burst.
That bite from Piper.
"Why'd you bite me?" I suddenly yelled, turning myself around to face her. "I know it was you."
Piper looked at the scar then up at me. "I felt threatened. After, after you told me to go away and never talk to you again, because of my teeth, i couldnt help it. I bit you. I couldnt take it anymore."
SJ walked foward. To Confused and overwelmed to think things through. "No-please stop. Im gonning to-"
She squealed, and shrunk. Fur brushed up all over her body in replace of her clothes. Long, dagger sharp nails grew from her hands.
And then she was a hambster.
That hamster. The fox looked at her then at SJ. As if expecting something.
I was cornered. A hambster and a fox closed in on both sides. I looked at the note and crumpled it up. I threw it at Piper, tears starting to stream down my face.
This was to much to take in. I-I couldn't handle it.
I crouched down and brung my hands over my eyes, sobbing. A few moment passed.
Nothing happened.
Then i felt a hand on my shoulder, and I looked up. The red headed girl was back. The fox was gone.
"That note. It was different then ours. It said 9:15. Not 9:12. But it was written in the same red marker."
I sobbed again. "The-there must b-be a miss-misunderstanding."
Elysia looked over at Piper, who was crouching on the floor. "Maybe."
As she left, i felt myself start to shake. Piper looked at me, then screamed and scurried after Elysia. Elysia turned and gasped.
I snifuled and got up onto all fours. As i tried to stand up i fell over. Then my head started to throb. I doubled over, clutching my head.
Then i looked up, and saw my hand wasnt a hand. It was a paw.
I gasped and scurried over to the merrior by the sink.
The face i saw wasnt mine. It was furry, with slitted green eyes. I opened my mouth, my eyes going wide and fell back. I scampered on the slick floor and ran towards Eylisa. "Help!" I cried.
But when the words came out it sounded like a roar.
The fox girl backed away slowly, her hands up. I turn to Piper and she quickly gets behind Eylisa. I look at the door.
I slide over to it, slaming it down with strength i didnt know i had.
The lunch room. My freinds will know what to do.
I ran faster on the carpet. I was actually getting a hang of running like this. Actually, i liked it. On my way i passed a girl at the edge of the lockers with the lipstick in her hands. The lipstick. It matched the color of the marker. No. It was the marker.
She wrote the letter! But how could she know, when i didnd even know? I stopped, my claws catching on the carpet. And lunged.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your going to tell your friends. They won't believe you."
I wurl around to face the Fox girl, my fists clenched and my teeth grinding. "Course they will. They believe everything they're my friends. They're loyal."
"You sure about that?" She says. "You can't trust anyone these days."
I clamp my teeth down, clenching them so hard my gums start to hurt. "You listen here, just because you knew you could shape shift doesn't mean you know every little thing in the world. I'm goning to tell them, and they will believe me."
I turn, whipping my hair in her face. "What then? Have them call you a monster. Call the cops on you. Good luck."
An old memory flashed in her head. With the words monster. I growled, deep in my throat, and before I knew what was happening, I had hit her across the face, claws and all.
~~~~~~~~
As we ran through the trees I spotted the school up ahead. But we would be too vonrable there. "Follow me!" The lynx shouted as he swerved to the left of the school. I skidded after him, into a dark part of the forest where the vedgitation was thick. I had to slow down or else risk running into a tree.
The lynx was agile and swift and did well in the forest. I guess he's had some experiance as a shapeshifter, unlike me who found out today.
I followed the linx to an old white house with bright red doors. He transformed, and after all of that I let the fear overtake me and I transformed into a human again.
But the bloody marks and gashes stayed. To my dissapointment.
The inside of his house was nice and he kindly informed me that this was his foster home and his "parents" wouldn't be home untill late. He showed me to the bathroom and the bandages. Unfortunately the Bandaids wouldn't be enough to cover the wounds. After he stambered about asking if i needed help I laughed a littlr. Then I asked if he had any wrap, you know to wrap a sprained ankle. He said he would check, and left me alone.
I looked into the merrior. There was a long scar over my eye. My face was dirt stained. My mackup from this morning was long gone.
Who am I?

~Jay
I hazily watched as the wolf pounced on Madi. But then he froze and looked up at the owl in the air. She fell and a wild cat lept foward and caught her, running away through to ruins of the window. Jay then watched as the wolf pinned the king cheeta to the floor by her neck. "Why didnt you join me while you could? We could've been great togeather. Brother and sister. With the secret powers of the shapeshifter. We could've found our powers togeather. We could've ruled the world."
He pressed harder and her eyes went wide, then narrowed and closed. He opened his mouth. Jay wanted to look away, but he was frozen with shock. Suddenly the cheeta started glowing. Glowing a golden color. The wolf's eyes widened as he was kicked across the room by the cheetahs powerful haunches. She got up and lookes the wolf in the eye. "Another time." The brother growled, slowly transforming into a human again. "We will fight another time over the fate of the world."
Then he was gone. Dissapeared into the night.
~~~~~~~~
These were just experts from the first one, not the ones we continued it on.
AE Capacha thingy: Yikes, let's see....I made Naax on 32 days RP when I was trying to top it....ah! Here it is! Oh, and he started out in italics, my memory was being weird back then so I swiched inbetween the two for awhile.
Ah, geez, not this....
How come I'm not in it?
You weren't created yet, Vanku Zwab.
Oh. *shurgs, licks paw, goes to sleep*
Good ridance!
Alright, here's the real thing:
Noon says Aewp. AE wp? U want me to get an AE? Okaaaay any suggestions?
Afhw. Apple?
Naax. Naax? Ohhhhhhhh. U want a boyfriend? Alright, Naax, wwelcome to Inkwell...

(another one)
In case you missed it, this is Naax. My AE.
What does AE even stand for?
As you cannot tell he is a pirate dragon, much like my captcha Noon.
Noon named me, FYI.
Ya she did. And are you even a pirate dragon?
Well, right now I'm just a figment of Noons imagination. Let's ask her....
Hamt.
Hamt? She said hamt. Oh pleeease don't make me a hamster......
capf.
Captain?
Awaa she wants you to be her captain.
Does that make me a pirate dragon then?
fpwn.
I think that's flipper. Does that mean I'm a sea dragon pirate?
vyga
That means vell ya. In a pirate accent.
Naax the sea dragon pirate. That's sounds cool enough.
~~~~~~~~
Hyaa!!! Top! (In the words of Noon)
Oh come on. Give up on this thread all ready.
No. I refuse to. Are you just saying that because Noon doesn't want it to die?
......
That's what I thought.
Something about me: Ah, well, I played rugby earlyer this season, I'm a dancer, I've been ingured a lot of times (strained my I-T band currently, Sprained ACL....twice on my right once on my left....or was it twice on my left and once on my right?

Oooh, what a great idea! I personally believe that my CB Spirit Solo Write's one of the best things I have on here, so I'll copy + paste some of my favorite parts for the future CBers. ;)
Name: Clouded Leopard, Cloudy, Cloud, CL, Clouded
Thread: CB Spirit Solo Write on Inkwell
“W-what?” Kestrel stammered, jerking up. “O-oh, I’m Kestrel.” Silently she cursed herself, burning with shame at the staggering introduction. Nice one there, Kestrel. Stutter a little more why don’t you.
Scylla opened her mouth to speak again, her eyebrows furrowed, when a sudden wind cut her off, hissing through the trees. She spun around, her eyes darting left and right, but Kestrel was the first to hear the the voice, jolting in surprise at the sudden voice at her shoulder.
“Hello…” it whispered, even and cool. Glancing around, Kestrel saw her own confused expression mirrored on everyone’s face except Danie, who wore a look of absolute shock. Kestrel was too far away to hear exactly what she was saying, but she could at least see her mouth form what looked like the word ‘no’. Perplexed, Kestrel only had to wait a second before the voice continued to speak.
It was even and cool, and even with her discerning mind Kestrel couldn’t tell whether it was female or male. “Now that we’ve finished introductions, I think it’s time to begin, yes?”
“What? Begin what?” Icy asked out loud, seemingly unaware she’d spoken it.
The voice laughed, sounding like a breeze running through wind chimes. “Why, begin our little adventure, no? I’m sure you’ve figured by now you’ve arrived for a reason, but what reason could it be?”
“Are we supposed to answer that, or do you just like the sound of your own voice?” Scylla muttered, rolling her eyes. Kestrel could hear the voice crack for a second, maybe with anger, as it responded, but quickly gained control once more. Kestrel didn’t miss the slip-up, though, and mentally shelved it to ponder more on later.
“No, of course not, Scylla,” the voice said smoothly, ignoring Scylla’s bristle of shock. “I’m only here to help, of course! Or am I? You decide my role in this story, high-flier…”
“Your role?” Joan repeated, looking incredulous. Her sword glinted in the sunlight as she looked up to the sky, searching for the source of the voice. “And a story? What is this supposed to be, some fairy-tale for seven year olds?”
This time the crackle on displeasure in the voice’s tone was impossible to miss as they hissed back, “Don’t be so quick to assume, Joan! If your first goal is escaping my Garden, you’d do best to tread with caution and always keep an eye over your shoulder! I may commune with those like you, but I will not show you the way! That you must find out for yourself!”
“What, so we can learn about our ‘true selves’ and the ‘magical path of self-discovery’?” Scylla snapped back, her voice dripping with cold sarcasm.
“Or you’ll be trapped here for eternity, with no escape,” the voice snarled back, spiked with anger and laced with dark foreboding. Then there was a sound like the firing of gun, yet as if it were played backwards, and the sky was silent once more.
The heaviness that hung in the clearing for moments on end made Kestrel nearly crumple under its weight, but it was soon broken by Eria, her red scarf fluttering in the wind. “Who… was that?” she asked quietly.
“The narrator,” Ember mused, only half-joking.
~Vox's introduction into the story
Why would it be like that?
The person above paced in a circle, wearing grooves in the ground.
Why would it be like that? they thought, shaking with madness. Casting a glance back at the fire that was still roaring strong, they felt a flicker of fear as they saw the flames dim for a second, before they shot back. But even a second of less intensity was vastly worrying. Pressing their face into their hands, they hissed and seethed with frustration, determinedly not admitting anything to themselves.
It’s fine. Everything’s fine. It’ll be… FINE. They opened their eyes a slit, to see the image of the girl with starry wings wearing the person’s peacock chain, and the one with dark hair and a red scarf, standing there and peering at the former’s necklace, suspicion and curiosity lighting their eyes.
Something inside the person snapped, and they darted over to the smaller fire that was flickering off to the side, snatched a coal from the pile, and hurled it into the inferno, which only made it flare up stronger. A choked scream escaped their lips, and they whipped away, hands shaking. When they turned back, though, searching for something—reassurance? Comfort?—all they saw was their own reflection, burning bright in the flames.
And they had yellow eyes.
The person snarled at the reflection, which dissipated immediately, and they violently rubbed their eyes, trying to rid themselves of the color. But I can’t, but I can’t, but I CAN’T— They knew it was still there. They knew it was. Irate, filled with sudden rage, they plunged their hand into the fire and knocked together two charms, two birds, an eagle and a swan’s. A grin curved over their face, though tears still dripped down their cheeks, evaporating in the flames, and they watched as sparks grew between the two charms, smashing together until they glowed red.
~Vox is sad
AEs/CAPTCHAs: Heyo future people! My AEs (maybe they're well known? Ehh??) are currently MewFour and 8-Piece. I've had two others named Nougat and Veranda, but neither of them really connected. But... heh... Mew and 8. Now there's two characters!
Let's see, what kind of a post should be shown... Here's a few excerpts of the first instance the #QuiFour ship started...
This is bullying!!
Not if I say it's not.
*groan* "

"Okay. So--
WAIT, stop! You can't do this--
What?
--without getting MewFour out of here? *calling* Oy, MewFour, over here! Look, your power's escaping!
What?
And also Quill is over there!
WHAT??
... alright, he's gone.
So, if you check on the AE Crush Thread on DtE, Cloudy reveals some very interesting information about MewFour there. He claims he doesn't like Elsa anymore, but I'm not so sure... and now that Quill's entered the picture, I'm sure it's the most he's ever dealit in love before. And also-- oh, nooo! He's coming back! Gotta run!
8-PIECE!! YOU CONNIVING TRICKSTER!"

Something about yourself: Me? Well, I really like space. When I was younger, I wanted to be an astrophysicist (keep in mind I was about 10 at the time I knew the word and its meaning!). I love black holes, quantum dynamics, and tons of other really cool things about the little and big stuff.
Other: I'll always remember CB! What a lovely place it is. <3

ooh! great idea icy!
Name: Kaleidoscope Gryphon, but (yes Im gonna reveal my real bunt dont expect me to go any further:}) my actual name is....
BUMBA BUMBE DUM!
.....
Miriam. (wow I cant believe I did that XD)
Thread: My first RP! I was gonna do my first post, but that was on kyngdom and I cant find the actual thread. Soooooooo, heres the "Ornamental Woods"
The ornamental woods.
Deep set in the cornapy mountains the ornamental woods are host to many an array of creatures. However wether they know it or not they are ruled by the "Kesaay" a government of beasts, mythical or otherwise. The kesaay perform invulnerable tasks. Controlling the weather for instance. Without them the forest and all its creatures would vanish forever.
However something is corrupting the forest. Trees wither like grass in full sun. Rivers are black with poison, and a disease is spreading. A disease who's bearers lay writhing in agony for a day and disappear the next.
Those of the forest blame the kesaay, threatening to overrun their rule and take the power for themselves which could only end in great destruction. Destruction that could spread from the ornamental woods into what lies beyond.
RULES & INFO:
The kesaay are organized into ranks, each rank possesses a layer of the forest. For example. The first rank abides in the upper canopy, etc.
RANKS: From lowest to greatest.
SEVENTH RANK: leaders of the animal clans. Example. Leader of wolf clan. Leader of owl clan etc. (This is optional, those who exel at sixth rank can still be part of the kesaay) capacity: there is no limit
SIXTH RANK: Training to become part of the kesaay. Failure in this can result in going down in rank. Capacity: 20
FIFTH RANK: Healers. Those in this position are sent out to heal the sick and injured as well as participate in further training. Capacity: 10
FOURTH RANK: Water. In this rank one will help control the speed, power and purity of the streams, rivers, ponds and lakes in the woods. Capacity: 7
THIRD RANK: Weather. In this rank one will help control rain, wind, lightning, etc. Capacity: 3
SECOND RANK: Nature. Those in this rank will help control plant growth, etc. Capacity: 2
FIRST RANK: Leaders of the kesaay. Those in this rank are known as the elders, they control the passing of time and space. The most powerful rank of them all. Legend hold the elders are fallen stars chosen by the moon. It is nearly impossible to get into this rank, none have done so in a thousand years. Capacity: 5
RULES:
1. There are no humans in the ornamental forest
2. You can be any creature imaginable, but there is no magic apart from that in the kesaay.
3. Potions etc. Are allowed though.
4. No being op. You CAN NOT be *poof* one rank into the other, moving rank too rank takes time and training.
5. When one is ready for the kesaay, the mark of first/second rank will appear on their body.
6. 11-up only please.
Please fill out a charrie sheet. Example.
NAME: Sage Thrush
SPECIES: Barred owl
APPEARANCE: A barred owl with light green accents, striving for second rank.
PERSONALITY: Curious, easily frightened, easily fascinated by anything that catches her eye. Especially plants.
RANK/TITLE: Second rank.
BACKGROUND: Doesn't like to talk about it.
AEs?/captchas: WAFFLE, my first ever little cyber pet, arent you my widdle waffle. *squeezes tiny gryphon life threateningly hard*
Oorgh stop dat!
And Windswift (which, to all ya' future flying car drivers was my original KYNGDOM charrie who I made into an AE)
Better believe it.
And since I havent included them in any AE drama yet...
Hmph. *crosses wings*
I dont have anything to excerpt onto here sooo, Im just gonna move on...
Something about yourself: WEEELL, Ive always been a dreamy little introvert. Interested in birds (mainly owls), reading field guides, sketching, making gifs, checking cricket, fantasizing my future, climbing trees, procrastinating, drawing gryphons, stealing cookie dough, and over all just trying to live life to its fullest. :)
Other: KEEP THE CRICKET GOING PEEPS! *woop woop!*

Yep, my first Charrie on the CB was a moldy owl. Live with it.

Name: I'm Nebula, but when I first joined I went by DRAGON.
A Copy/paste of part of a thread: I have made a bunch of threads on the CB but I am really proud of my Requested Compliments thread. Here is the link to it.
http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/295805
here is the ending part just in case they don't go all of the way through:
chirpatcricket/node/295805
A little piece by any AEs or CAPTCHAs you might have:
Me: My AE's are Grey, Doublock, and Niccolai. Say hello everyone!
Grey: Hey! I'm Grey. I'm a night elf and am Nebula's first ever AE
Doublock: Hello future CBers! I'm Doublock, the CB's resident Pirate AE.
Niccolai: Ugh... hello, I'm Niccolai. Anything else about me is none of your buisnes.
Me: NICK! This is for the Time Capsule, can you at least try to be civil?
Grey: Ignore Nick, he/she is always like that.
Doublock: Niccolai is the only known AE who is allergic to crushes.
Me: If he/she gets anywhere near two AEs who like eachother, he/she turns green and sprouts tenticals.
Grey: We dont know what gender Nick is either.
Doublock: Its pretty annoying, we have to say him/her instead of just picking one pronoun and sticking with it.
Niccolai: Shut up. I can be whatever gender I want.
Me: And last but not least, this is Chatter, my CAPTCHA.
Chatter: hllo, nice ttoo meet yoou (Translation: Hello, nice to meet you)
Me: He is a fire salamander.
Something about yourself: I have been on the CB for almost a year now. I play violin and I love drawing. I'm a total potterhead and enjoy anything to do with art. I also love Artemis Fowl, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Redwall, and the Lord of the Rings
Other:
1. Dont forget Valentines Day, 2019 (unless it has already passed by)
2. Ask the Admins about Blue Moon Ice Cream. (It will be worth it)
3. If you can still find it, check out Kyngdom. That story has been going for a full year and is amazing.
Thats all from me. Its been a pleasure to "technically" meet you future CBers!

These are dead RPs
Fairy-tale RP by ?
Magic Academy RP by Moonlight
Princess school RP by elementgirl
These are posts from my favorite CB threads
Yes, I'm bring back Whisper Stone RP! No one really joined the first time, and I'm hoping more will, and continue out with it.
Whisper Stone RP
Since my last one went down in purple flames....*starts singing purple rain*
Here is my new one! But trust me, this will be fun! We can figure out each CBers Whisper stone!
Now what is a whisper stone? A whisper stone is what describes your personality. It guides your future, whether you should be trusting or wise, strong or quiet. The Whisper stones are also shaped like animals. Each animal represents something different. And in this RP they are chosen by the ancestors, spirits of the people in this RP. But really, we will decide each other's Whisper stone and when we start RPing we will say the spirits chose it. Kapeshe? Kapeshe. The different Whisper stones are;
Falcon of wits
Beaver of determination
Bear of love
Owl of wisdom
Wolf of loyalty
Elk of patience
Deer of kindness
Moose of bravery
Fox of trickery
Cougar of unyielding
Squirrel of faith
Song bird of truth
Goose of defence
Ant of teamwork
Butterfly of change
Woodpecker of justice
Mammoth of sympathy
Saber-toothed tiger of fierceness
Dodo of openmind
Fish of obay (following others)
Stark of observing
Egal of leading
Hawk of Tolerance
Mustang of hope
Badger of creativity
Lynx of beauty
Racoon of humor
Skunk of humility
If I'm forgetting a trait, please add it in! And no, don't decide each other's Whisper Stones on the animals. Pick what traits you think is best for them!
Plot: You got your Whispertone chosen. You either love it, or hate it. But then you do something terrible on purpose or not, and the spirits change something. They either change your stone, change your personality, or change your appearance. Whatever they do is to teach you a lesson. But the lesson doesn't always work.
You were fine for the changes until they started backfiring (losing friends, they don't recognize you, won't accept you, caused you brother's death, etc.) You must reach the top of Electric peak to change back. On the way you meet the others like you, all from different tribes. Together you journey to the Electric peak, where the ancestors will touch down and change you back. But that is extremely far away, weeks, if not months of walking. Will you change your ways on the long journey? Or will the spirits not accept you?
Charrie sheet, please don’t fill all of it out now, we will redo the charrie sheets once everyone has found their Whisper Stone. The once with the * by it please don’t fill out until we find your Whisper Stone:
Name (CB plz!):
Age (16-17):
*What they changed (personality, Whispertone, appearance (not big changes but for appearance you can be changed fully into your Whisper Stone animal):
Before they changed (what the thing they changed was before Whispertone, personality, appearance) you can just write your appearance and personality:
*Whisper Stone (We can start naming each other's Whisper Stones right away and will end up voting on each other's Whisper Stones a little ways in) PEOPLE CAN HAVE THE SAME WHISPER STONE:
*Personality (after they changed):
*Appearance (after they changed):
Tribe (mammoth tribe, fishing tribe, etc. This factor doesn't really matter) you can be from the same tribe, but only 2 or 3 people per tribe:
*Background (what did you do that changed whatever the spirits changed? What drove you from your tribe?)
Other?:
Name: Claaws
Age: 16
What they changed:
Before: Was a short tan girl, with grey-green eyes and dark brown silky hair to her midback. Her personality was, Shy at first, but once she gets to know you, sarcastic, and can be snappy if you get on her nerves. Bold. You know the saying "if your friend jumps off a cliff would you follow?" She would be the friend who jumped off the cliff. And for the record, that's called cliff diving.
Whisper stone:
Personality (this is after the changes):
Appearance (after the changes):
Tribe: Wolfpack tribe
Background:
Other?: N/A
Please join guys! I know it looks a little long, but please read through most of it to reduce further confusion. I really hope this one goes better then the first...
(March 17, 2017 - 8:12 pm)
Now, I'm fairly sure no one should post on this ever again!
(March 17, 2017 - 8:13 pm)
Awa, I'm honored! If you really want, we can top it and get people to actually post this time. Or we can restart it, people are always intrested in new threads.
(March 17, 2017 - 10:39 pm)
@ Random Person
Maybe you can change it to a solo write? Because some people dont have anogh time to join an RP or they had already joined to many RPs.
Sorry if it sounded rude.
