Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Recently, I had

Recently, I had deja vu of this website, and wanted to check if it was still around or not. 

Eventually, I stumbled upon all my old writing for my Æs, and my rather... idiotic threads. I apologize for that, and also all the unfinished ski lodges I would start under a different name. I'm making this thread as a little reunion, to see if anyone who I remember is still active on this website or not, because it really did help me get better at writing and grammar, and overall etiquette when debating with others. 
One update: Hooded Midnight and I have written a 150 page book about our Æs, and we are in the middle of writing the second one! it's about their day to day lives, and we've made a whole world and other characters matching them. It's really fun, (and a bit cringy, let's be honest here,) but I love it so much. 
Another update: Covid 19 has been hitting close to home. My state is on a full lockdown and I won't be going anywere anytime soon, so expect more posts about me pondering and chatting to myself. 
If you're new, (or if I just don't know you) please introduce yourself! (And you're Æs and CAPTCHA's, of course.) 
This is now officially an introduction/RP thread! Go crazy! Go stupid! :)

Well, hello. I remember you. Do you remember me? Since this is an introduction thread, I'm Agent Winter, resident gamer and Pretty Bad Artist™. I like to fangirl, draw, and play Destiny. I'm very geeky and I have a writing blog. 

Artimerrx, huh? Yeah, I remember you. Is Sebastion still around? *glares*

Reese, please. Hello! In case your memory has failed you, I am Samantha, Agent Winter's first and most sensible Æ. I am the leader of the rest of the Æs, and possibly the leader of my CBer as well. 

Leader? Pfft. Hi. I'm Night Vision. Call me Night please. I'm a nerdy artist like Agent Winter, but I'm a little more introverted I guess. I think I'm also a bit anxious. Win says I need to make more friends, so... can I draw you? I mean, if you want me to. I think people like it when I draw them... I mean, I don't know though, I'm not that good... oof *pulls hood over head*

So, those are my sisters, Night Vision and Reese. We also have a Captcha, Chance, and I believe the beginnings of a Captchæ are forming in Agent Winter's mind. 

*hello* *iimmm chnce* *agent wntrs cptch*  *nicto meett yoouu*

(Translation: Hello, I'm Chance, Agent Winter's Captcha. Nice to meet you.)

Well, welcome back. I hope you stay for a while.  

Oh, and here's a picture of my Æs for anyone who doesn't know them.

Of course I remember you, Agent! You were pretty much my first friend that I made on the site. Though, I thought you left for a while. Also, Sebastian is still here, and so is Jericho! They both are some of the main characters of the book I wrote (I explained it a bit in the original post), so they have grown as people, but they still have the same general demeanor! 

"Hey, Reese, Samantha, Night Vision! I'm glad you're here!" Sebastian looks a bit overwhelmed. 

"How's it going? I'm- I apologize if I never talked to any of you during any balls or chat threads. I'm not the most sociable of people, you could say." Jericho looks away slightly, and Sebastian hits him on the back, causing Jericho to jolt up. 

Don't mind them, Sebastian tends to get excited when talking to more than two people at a time. Also, I love video games! Right now I'm completely obsessed with Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and League of Legends. 

Also also, I love the art you drew! I'm debating whether to put pictures of Sebastian and Jericho on here or not... and, I've decided to attach them! So, for a quick explaination of the drawing, I drew it during Christmas, but it's the only drawing with just Jericho and Sebastian interacting without other characters.

Wow, your art style is really cool! I seem to remember you doing a lot of digital art when you were here before-- do you still do digital art? What program do you like best? I'm trying to learn digital art, and I'm currently using Photoshop bc my mom has it on her computer. 

Good luck on your book! It sounds really cool! I'm writing a fantasy book called The Archer, which I'm posting on my writing blog. I'm also doing a sci-fi roleplay with my friend, which has turned into a pretty cool story. 

I didn't know you were a gamer too! I've played Super Smash Bros at my friend's house, and it was really fun. I've never played League of Legends, but I love the soundtracks. Is it any good? I don't know anyone who plays, but I'd like to try playing. Oh, and do you play Destiny? I'm currently a little bit obsessed with it (I'm listening to a Destiny rap right now lol). It's a really cool sci-fi shooter game. It's multiplayer but it has a single-player campaign too. It has a lot of in-depth lore and complex characters. You should totally play it if you haven't! The first Destiny is awful, though. You kinda need to play a little of it for the story to make sense, but the second game is a lot better.

Oh great, Win's geeking out again. Hello! Earth to AW! Apologies, Artimerrx...

*purposefully ignores Sebastion* Hey, I remember you, Jericho! Yeah, I dunno if we ever talked at balls, but we could talk now! You wanna go skateboarding sometime? There's a cool skate park over by my house! 

Your CBer is a great artist! Do either of you guys like to draw?

Oh and yes, I did leave for a while. But I’m back now!

I still do digital art, and I use the app ProCreate, (it's 10$, and only works with Apple devices) and it's pretty fun! Also, I heard that Photoshop is very good for drawing digitally, but I don't have a drawing tablet to hook up to my PC, so it would be hard. 

Also, you have a writing blog? Your story sounds pretty interesting! Right now I just write on Google Docs for fun, and I don't put my stuff anywhere since I'm a bit self conscious about it. 
"Heh, I'm glad you remember me. I know I've seen you before, Reese. You and my brother went to a few balls together, correct? And, also, I would go skateboarding with you, but I'm more of a roller skating kind of guy, y'know?" Jericho shifts from one foot to the other.
"Since little Jericho is too scared to skateboard, awwww." Sebastian teases Jericho, and Jericho stares daggers at him, before turning away. 
"Also, neither of us are super into drawing. I'm the most 'artsy' out of us, since I play a lot of instruments and like photography, but I don't know if you would count that as artistic." Jericho smiles, he loves talking about his interests.
Do you think that if we roped in a few more Æs, we could have a full on house party-esk chat thread? That would be fun, just like old times!

@Artimerrx I've tried ProCreate-- it's a great app, but the tablet that has ProCreate in our house is pretty laggy, so I mostly do art on the computer. Photoshop is really great-- you don't actually have to have a tablet for it, you can upload a photo of analog line art and color it digitally in Photoshop if you want to. Though that's the long way around XD And yeah, an Æ house party sounds really fun! Just like old times!

QUIT TEASING JERICHO, SEBASTIAN. *turns to Jericho* Oof, I've never been too good at skating... 

Yeah, we all remember when you fell on your bottom at the skating rink! *snicker*

SSHH! WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT! I'd be willing to try roller skating again though. I still have some skates from the last time I tried it. Oh, and what instruments do you play? I play drums! Agent Winter is trying to teach me guitar, but apparently I don't have the patience. Which is pretty fair, haha. I'm not much of a drawing artist either, but I do graffiti-style art and that's pretty fun! Win and Night are the real artists in this family. It's great to have an Æ to talk to! Most of my friends' CBers aren't really around anymore, so yeah...

Oh hey Artimerrx! Welcome back! I'm Leafpool, but I switched to Leafy a while ago. Idk if you were around.

Yeah...Covid is horrible XP But hopefully it'll blow over soon!

Artierrx, welcome back! *tackle hugs* I used to be Soren!

Heyo! I remember your AEs from balls and stuff. I'm Sage!

And I'm Estrella, formerly Levana.

Oh, and I'm Song, but I used to be Dewy. Welcome back! 

Yeah, we're all pretty  much in the same boat as you. That means a little more excitement around here, though, which recently has been getting pretty scarce. Good to have you back! <3

@Leafy & Luna-Starr,

 

I remember the both of you! Thank you for the welcoming statements, and I bet Sebastian and Jericho would be happy to chat! (Also, Leafy, I've always imagined you looking like the online character LeafyIsHere, and Luna Starr, I imagine you like a dragon of some sorts. Weird, right?)

"Greetings and salutations, Estrella and Song. I remember Song, you were very soft spoken during the dances, correct? I'm sorry if my memory fails me. Haven't been here for a while, as you can see." Jericho looks around and smiles awkwardly, a cloud of nostalgia covers his eyes.

"You're being rather talkative, aren't you, Jericho?" Sebastian teases him, but also looks suprised. "And of course I remember the both of you! Oooh, it's fun to talk to you guys!" 

I'm excited to see some new and old faces, covid-19 is definitely keeping lots of people in. It's a bit sad to see that there hasn't been lots of activity on here lately, I'm sure that will be aided soon, though! :)

Hey guys! Artimerrx has offically convinced me to make a reappearance so... Hi! The gang of three has also arrived, go on morons, make yourself known. 

Eden busts in through a random door that has seemingly just appeared. "Hello Chatterbox! It is good to be back, how are you guys doing? Did you miss me?" Eden smiles playfully and acts like she hasn't not been her for the past four or five months. 
   Riley enters with caution through the random door. Riley waves slightly before Eden grabs his hand and pulls him out of the doorframe. "Hi Chatterbox..." Riley smiles and pushes his black curly back from his face. 
Behind Riley a small figure in a green and white striped shirt holds onto Riley. A small boy with blonde hair and fair skin too shy and timid to say anything. He doesn't wave or speak, he just forces a small smile.

Hi! I'm Dusk S. (the S. stands for Sky). I'm 13, joined in July of 2019. There are actually a lot of really new CBers here. Anyway, I like to read, listen to music, play videogames, put together puzzles, and not being quarantined (though thats not really an option right now, sadly). We always welcome more CBers around here!  

I'm Alice, that introverted quiet, but reasonable side of Dusk. I am pretty quiet and perfer not to make any attention drawn to myself. Unfortunately, Dusk's other AE Sally, who also happens to be my sister, makes it hard for me to not be noticed. I also love science and research, and I am willing to go to almost any place to gather more research.

Hiiiiiiiiiii! I'm Sally! I'm super duper goodly happily perkily greatly cooly awesomely... perky. I love to make new friends, and Alice says I'm that happy, positive side of Dusk. I'm not as intelligent as Alice, but I don't need to be. I'm never worried about showing myself, and I'm pretty much the opposite of Alice. That... kinda results in a lot of arguments. That doesn't matter, though, because we still get through it! By the way, do you like rainbows or kittens better? I just wonder what everyone thinks. I kind of like rainbows better because of all the colors!

I'dddd rathe rrrrr throww themm allll intoo theee firee anddd watch themm burnn. 

That, would be Shade. Our dragon captcha. Unlike most captchas, hes a bit grumpy, and hot-tempered.

Yeahh. Becau seeee I'mmmm withh stupi ddddd AEsss. IIIII hopee youuu cannn makee thiss place moree enter taini ngggg, atttt least. It'sss nottt worth theee troub leeee right nowww.

It is! *sigh* he's hard to deal with sometimes. Well, welcome.

Dear Alex, Paraphernalia, and Dusk S., 

Thank you all for the welcoming statements! It's very much appreciated. Also, Dusk, your Captcha is a dragon? That's pretty awesome. Personally I've never made any Captchas because they confuse me a bit, but Shade seems pretty cool. B)

 

"Hey, Maya, Alice, and Sally! My name's Sebastian! I'm Artimerrx's coolest Æ, no doubt about that." Sebastian grins, and fidgets with his hands, very excited that he's meeting new people. "Also, if I where to choose between rainbows and kittens, I'd choose rainbows. Cause, without rainbows, we wouldn't have Skittles, and light. I think." 

Jericho mentally facepalms before saying, "Sebastian, that's not how light works." And turns to Alice. "Excuse my brother, he's... very abrasive. Or no, maybe... the embodiment of a golden retriever, you could say?" Jericho chuckles to himself. "Also, nice dragon. Shade, his name was? That's honestly really cool." 

Anyways, Agent Winter and I's Æs are going to a skatepark, I believe. We would be happy if other Æs would come and join us! :)
