Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
CB Egg Hunt!
So there’s been egg hunts on the CB in the past, but I haven’t seen any recently, so I thought I’d revive this fun idea :D
For those of you who haven’t participated in a CB egg hunt before and don’t know what it is — basically, the host (me) will post “eggs” on random threads. The format will go something like this: “Congratulations! You have found the XXX egg! Post
“XYZ” on the Egg Hunt thread to get a point!” And then you will post XYZ on the Egg Hunt thread (this thread) to get a point. Points can be used in the store (see bottom of the post)
Rules:
1. Remember, eggs can be on any thread in the CB! (I mean, I’m obviously not going to post an egg on a solo write from January 26th, 2018 that’s on page 90 of Inkwell...or will I?...but you get the idea)
2. Please, please don’t just cheat and post what other people are posting on this threat and not find the eggs yourself. I know I can’t stop you, but please be honest and play fair — it’s much more fun for everyone that way.
3. The deadline for finding eggs is April 30th. You must submit all comments before then for your points to be counted. *Note: comments must be submitted by then, they don’t necessarily have to appear. Also, purchases from the store can still be made after the deadline! :D
4. If you purchase something from the store, be patient! I’m only one person, and I likely have a lot of purchases to get through, plus my own life. Drawn picturings and playlists will probably take 1-3 days, and written stuff will likely take up to 4-5 days, or more if I’m busy.
5. Feel free to guess me (I’ll reveal myself after the deadline)
6. have fun :D
~STORE~
Two points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Basic – 4 songs)
Four points — Playlist/Song Recommendations (Deluxe – 10 songs)
Six points — Sketched Picturing
Eight points — Inked Picturing
Ten points — Written Picturing
Twelve Points — Full Color Picturing
Twenty points — Short Story (probably more like flash fiction in length): you give me the prompt and I’ll write a short story based on that.
(Please note that THIS thread is only for claiming points and announcements related to the egg hunt, not for actually purchasing things from the store. I'll post the official store where you can actually buy things in a separate thread soon)

I found the poetry egg! Rhyming poetry isn't my forte, but I gave it my best shot -
The poetry egg has been found
Rejoice, rejoice all around
By our hero, Periwinkle,
Oh, the stars in her eyes how they twinkle!

RAWRRRR
*walks quickly away before it hatches*
(March 27, 2023 - 11:09 am)
Now I have three eggs! The Space Egg, the Dragon Egg, and the Musical Egg. *tries singing, fails miserably*
(March 27, 2023 - 11:26 am)
I found another...the Tricky Egg!
You didn't trick me!

I found the sleepy egg, I will be done now. I think I have 6 eggs.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Oh dear. Now I have to think of a poem. Warning, it will be very cringy.
An egg I have found
Buried in the sound
Of...I can't think of anything.
(March 27, 2023 - 4:54 pm)
I found two eggs!
ssssssssssssssnake egg I have found
Maybe...a gopher snake? Idk if that's been said.
And the positivity egg: I like that I am good at music!

I found the Easter Egg. There was a piece of candy inside it.
(April 11, 2023 - 11:07 am)
ya see, I won't just post what other people are posting, but if I can use their post to figure out where they found the egg based on the egg's name, I'll hunt it down and find it myself. I do hope that's withing the rules.
RAWRRR - dragon egg
i NeEd sPaCe! - space egg
hmm. I suppose I like my beautiful hairstyle. I'm very proud of it. - positivity egg
The poetry egg has been discovered!
How cleverly has it been uncovered!
My poetry is sad 'cause I'm not good at making things rhyme.
So I'm gonna stop now. - poetry egg
Hmm. I've scoured the random thoughts thread for the random egg, but I can't find it, so there's either something I'm not seeing or it's on some other thread. I'm also trying to think of a thread that could have a musical or sleepy egg...

If it's okay with the Egghead, would you like a hint? I have found both the Random and the Sleepy eggs
(March 27, 2023 - 2:40 pm)
hmm, okay, you may give Scuttles a hint, as long at you hunt meets these criteria:
1. It may not be TOO obvious. ex, you can give the section of the CB the egg is found in, but don't give the topic of the thread
2. only one hint at a time! So, only one hint for a single egg, and only hints for one egg!
3. it must rhyme and be quite cryptic (okay, okay, it doesn't HAVE to, but it would be more entertaining XD)

You're not Zealatom? Huh, I was sure you were.
And... ad;lksdjf;sld!! I found the Random Egg!
(March 27, 2023 - 3:18 pm)
Well, I found the Snake Egg... ssssssssss
And a species of snake is rattlesnakes (rather obvious, but oh well).
