Day One-

In the unknown world of the Chatterbox, 64 eyes blinked. The night sky crept into their windows as quiet words were whispered. And then 64 eyes grew heavy, closed, then opened again.

“Well, you took your time.” A voice drawled, sounding slightly bored. Slowly, a figure

materialized out of the darkness. She was clothed in a star-printed robe and wavy black hair cascaded down her back. Light spilled into the emptiness, yet her face remained covered in shadow.

“Now then...quite a large list in here! Let’s see…”

Abstract colors swirled around, a paintbrush in the sky. Slowly, drops of color morphed and spread into each other. Creation itself, making trees and sky and clouds without any fuss.

Then, everyone found themselves standing on suspiciously normal grass, under the hot suspiciously normal sun. But the centerpiece of this world was a glowing, improbable structure. Blocks of color glowed from within, a name written on every one.

“Embedded on your wrist,” Dreamwalker started, casually doing a backflip in mid-air, “are small buttons. Press these and you shall be transported to your home. On the right we have our dining hall. On the left is our various activities. Enjoy yourselves until dinner, for it is afternoon here!”

Quill, Ace, Brooke and Willow all went to the swimming pool, which was apparently deeper then it looked. Secret, Hermione and Alex headed off to the infinite library, where they all choose their favorite books and ignored each other. Darkking, Kitten and Seal stumbled upon a Dungeons and Dragons building that had randomly appeared out of nowhere.

Moonlight, Velix and Midnight chose to explore the woods. The CAPTCHAs met up to do who-knows-what. Harliquin and Will stayed in their rooms, which were joined together. 0ink raided the candy store. Inkling and Raven went to the art room and Jwyn, Soren, Winter and Fireburst headed off to the arcade. Everyone else stayed in their rooms to write.

Surprisingly enough, the day stayed calm and everyone was happy enough when they met up again (Especially Elli, who discovered where the whipped cream was.)

So no one would ever guess that a few people were woken in the night to a very interesting proposition…

Day 2-

Seal woke up way too early, something she would definitely complain about later. In the meantime though, she pulled a book out of her luggage to read. The story was a new one, and soon the girl found herself lost in it. However, something still nagged at the back of her mind. Sighing, the CBer walked out of her room.

Or at least she tried to, before realizing that it was unknown how to get through the sky blue wall that separated her from the outside.
“Well I suppose…” The brunette started, before screaming and jumping out of the way.

A bright red blur hit the wall outside, sliding down with a slight scraping noise. Seal blinked a few times, catching her breath, before it flapped back up.

“Ouch...ah...hey Seal!”

“Byann?”
“Yeah. I was able to fly through my wall...not yours apparently. Too bad. They don’t even break!”
Seal giggled. “So I can just walk through this? That’s good to know.” She carefully reached one leg out. Sure enough, it went through like the wall was water. Feeling something solid underneath, she carefully moved out. Things were quiet until she yelped again.

“I’M FLYING? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING? DREAMS ARE AWESOME! THEY MAKE NO SENSE!”

Byann grinned, racing around. The two made quite a racket, and soon everyone was awake.

“Honestly.” Fireburst complained over breakfast “Yesterday was tiring!”

“You spent all afternoon sitting in a dark room playing video games.” Hermione deadpanned.

“Exactly! Those things use your energy up!”

“Speaking of...wanna try to beat that level again?” Soren asked.

“Sure!” Agent Winter said, shrugging.

“I guess.” Jwyn commented from over her book.

——Time skip to the arcade brought by a lazy Dreamwalker——

Fireburst sighed, throwing her controller on the ground.

“It’s useless.” She sighed in defeat. Jwyn smiled.
“Don’t say that!” She exclaimed, bending down to pick the controller up “I think I know how to do it-”
But her words were cut off by a slight gasp as darkness burst through the room. Soren and Winter raced over, stumbling desperately.

“Argh!” Winter yelped as she collided into someone “Sorry!”

Jwyn still lay on the ground. She tried to sit up, but collided into something. A few words were whispered, too quietly for her to hear, but they were almost certainly followed by a laugh. Dark blue eyes went wide, pain shooting through the CBer’s body. Then slowly she coughed, and fell to the ground to sleep forever.

Soren screamed as cold hands pushed them to the ground. They sat up, trying to see a glimpse of their attacker. But then, the teen paused. A small sob sounded through the darkness, and a single tear fell on their face.

Winter paused, frozen in shock, as the lights went on. Nobody else was there.

“I...WHO DID THIS?” She exclaimed. Fireburst looked away, trying to process everything.

The day, which had started so playfully, ended on a somber note.

——Time skip to ??? brought by ...who?——

“Why didn’t you do it?”
“I...I couldn’t.”
“You know. You know whose life is at stake.”

“You wouldn’t…”

“I would.”

“YOU!”

“Me.”

“I’ll…”

“Do you really think so?”

“...what do I have to do?”

I thought I was your best friend! I'm your BROTHER! 

Day 3-
Soren decided they had better watch out after the previous day’s events. She stayed confined in her room, reading a book and writing.
Jwyn’s body had been inspected carefully. No traces were found, but she clearly died painfully. Throughout the day her coffin lay floating, am almost ominous presence.
Soon after breakfast, Darkking decided to go visit his friend. Dreamwalker said he could go into their room if they said he could.
“You doing okay?” He asked, trying to smile. Soren looked up.
“Yeah.” They sighed. The two CBers looked at each other for a second, then resumed awkward silence.
Esthelle sat in silence. She had spent the whole morning pondering who could do such a thing, yet nothing had become clear yet. The teen reached for her satchel, finding what she needed and inhaling the familiar scent.
Perhaps bribery...perhaps the influence of others…possibilities everywhere…
Winter however, was determined to not let the depression spread. She went with Moonlight to check out the obstacle course that had showed up recently, persuading Harliquin to come along.
“Harli…” Will started hesitantly.
“Yeah?” The other ghost said, turning around.
Will bit his lip anxiously “...never mind. It’s nothing.”
Winter brushed blue hair out of her face. “Come on!” she whined impatiently, bouncing around.
The group rushed ahead, branches trying to tear and claw at them. Leafy green foliage draped around every corner, slapping them in the face. But suddenly, in the middle of all the wilderness, a clearing became visible.
Winter grinned, disappearing into...something. The other two shrugged, following.
Moonlight’s eyes opened wide as she raced through a tunnel, her feet slapping against the hard plastic bottom. There was a turn ahead...she would reach it soon. And past that turn there had to be something exciting. Her light violet eyes opened wide, straining to see. It was strangely loud. And then something slammed into her. The CBer gasped, trying to breathe. And sadly, failing to breathe.
Kitten, Darkking and Seal were standing outside the D&D building when Winter came running towards them.
“Next time I’ll DM...what the heck!” Kitten exclaimed, orange spreading across her cat ears.
“Moonlight...Harliquin...they’re…” Winter gasped for breath, but understanding flashed across all faces.
Kitten walked numbly back with Winter, comforting her companion. Darkking however, barely made into Will’s room.
“I...I’m sorry.”
A cry of grief and a cry of rage, piercing the air. The sun set, bringing even more darkness with it.
