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 did take your advice and left that thread immediately. Rather dangerous, having fiery eggs lying about...

<xkobg> I think poor Origami must have a cold. The last three letters sound as if she's trying to say <omg> and not quite managing to.

*discordant piano chord* the Musical Egg has been found, and passive voice is being used for unknown reasons

Oh gosh. Joke or pun... well, let's say
A worm said something to another worm as they were eating in a cornfield. The second worm did not appear to have heard the first worm's remark, and the first worm was cross. Another worm, also eating corn, said, "Oh, don't worry about that worm. It goes in one ear and out the other." Ears of corn... :D I'm not very good at thinking up jokes so this one is one I'd heard before.
