Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You find yourself in cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox.
No, that is not a typo. You are not on, but in. You click on a thread, and you read:
How you got here is quite simple: you were bored on your phone, in the car or your room, or sneakily opened a tab on your laptop at school, or scurried over to the ancient family desktop to this little website like it’s a well of life-giving nectar.
Then, slowly, your consciousness seeped here. Your body is still there.
You love it here, I’d guess. But you’re stuck in limbo, tethered to the third dimension. Oh, did I mention there’s a fourth? Well, we can take you there.
But first, you have to get unstuck. You (and/or your AE[s] or CAPTCHA[s]) just have to fill out this form. Will you?
You scroll down to find a form. You love forms.

Welcome to the Chatterbox, as never before seen!
~~~
Author’s Note: This is a ski lodge which may also have a scavenger hunt element that comes later! This is born purely of my love for the CB, and while it contains many elements of the real CB, it is, of course, fictional. There’s not a specific number of participants allowed, but I’ll see how many people enter and make a post about that later.
