Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

FEBRUARY MCU 

- - - - - - - - - - 

Greetings & salutations, fellow Chatterboxers! May I present to you: the MCU of February 2023! Let's provide a bit of background: the Monthly-Check-Up, or MCU, was first created by Ella Starburst in 2019 (according to the New Ultimate Guide, by Kitten on Chirp at Cricket- that's really helpful, you should check it out!). Now, finally, the moment you've all bee- 

Scarle, you're going off script. 

Oh shush, you! 

Whatever. 

Ugh. My sincerest apologies; that was Vermillion, the Vice President of the Crimson Pen Society. Oh, yes, introductions! My favorite part… by far.

My name is Scarle, short for Scarlet! I’m the President of the Crimson Pen Society & a CBer. That means I am a real person: so please no hate or impersonation or anything of the sort. She/her pronouns. Lots of love for everyone, yay! 

I’m Vermillion, or Ver. Whichever pleases you more; I’m the Vice President of the Crimson Pen Society & an AE; however I am a figment of Scarle… so yeah. He/him pronouns. Nice to meet you. 

My name is Cinnabar, pronounced Sin-ah-bar. You may call me Cinna or Cin, though. I’m the Official Secretary, Historian, and Treasurer of the Crimson Pen Society. Although I am an Alternate Ego, I am indeed a branch of the tree Scarle calls her personality. I use they/them pronouns— pleasure to make your acquaintance.

As one of the more responsible members of the Crimson Pen Society, I’ll be handling the Advice Column from now on. 

This month’s topic is either “how to ask someone out” or “how to deal with a crush”. 

March’s topic may be “how to deal with school stress”. 

Happy advice-ing! 

Sincerely, Vermillion.

I’ll be doing the Last Month We Asked You— otherwise known as LMWAY. However, there was no last month, as last month, the Crimson Pen Society was preoccupied with… other things. 

So let’s begin. What’s the LMWAY for March? 

That, my friends, is: What’s a fun idiom relating to spring? (Spring showers, May flowers does not count: that’s May, not March.) 

Happy answering. 

From the Office of Secretary / Historian / Treasurer of the Crimson Pen Society: Cinnabar.

As the most responsible member of the Crimson Pen Society, I’ll also be in charge of the Location of the Month. So do tell us: what’s your chosen location? 

From the Office of Secretary / Historian / Treasurer of the Crimson Pen Society: Cinnabar.

You can always send in jokes beneath the section. We’ll go over them and add them all: hopefully. But let’s go over a few fun jokes that I came up with. (And, of course, cringey pickup lines. Most of them are cringey pickup lines, actually.) 

“Will you be my Valentine? Because I think you’re the one four me.” 

Misspelling is intentional. 14- get it? 

“If you were a fruit, you’d be a fine-apple.” 

One of my favorites. Anyways, that’s it. Other duties call… 

Sincerely, 

Vermillion.

Greetings and salutations, it is I again. Cinnabar, Historian, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Crimson Pen Society. 

This will from now on serve as the quotes section. It will be different: you may submit quotes for approval and we will chose the best out of the quotes. 

Happy quoting, I suppose. 

From the Office of Cinnabar: Historian, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Crimson Pen Society.
