AE Diaries!!!
I don't know about you lizards, but I love my AEs and am really bad at commitment. So I don't really sign up for parties a lot. I still want to write with them, though! Hence this thread.
Here we can write about whatever they're doing when they aren't at parties, weather that be hanging out with their siblings, being their antisocial selves, going on dates (CB appropriate, ofc), or having adventures that have actual plots.
After this shows up, I'll post a link to the original thread by Viola? and an example of how this works :]]

_"[Ooh, choices, choices,]" she said as she thought about it for a moment. "[I'll have red raspberry leaf tea with some of those cinnamon rolls, if you please.]"_
_The waitress wrote all this down and walked away humming a tune. "[Hey, Imagine Dragons, Thunder!]" Alyssa exclaimed. "[I love them! I also like Maroon 5, Micheal Jackson and Taylor Swift.]" She turned over to look at me, as I grinned. I knew this song pretty well. "[What about you? Do you like any music?]" she asked me._
_I nodded and said, "Yeah, that song is pretty good. I've listened to all those other ones you've said as well. I think the song Rewrite the Stars is pretty good as well, especially on the guitar. And Taylor Swift's songs are nice to listen to and play."_
_I paused for a moment as I see the waitress coming back. Then I asked, "Do you have a favorite Taylor Swift song?"_

[Aries nodded and said, "Yeah, that song is pretty good. I've listened to all those other ones you've said as well. I think the song Rewrite the Stars is pretty good as well, especially on the guitar. And Taylor Swift's songs are nice to listen to and play."]
[I nodded in agreement there, and then Aries asked if I had a favorite of Taylor Swift. I consider for a moment, then say "Probably Our Song or Shake it off. those ones have a good beat!" I hear shuffling behind me, and turn to see the waitress bearing our drinks and food. "that was quick! thank youuu," I say, looking hungrily at my food.]
[Aries lick his lips, and then looked at me. We both giggle and then dig in. "So," I say around a mouth full of yummy roll, "Just curious. What does your house and room look like?"]

_"[Probably Our Song or Shake it off. Those ones have a good beat!]" Alyssa said after a moment._
_I looked up and saw the waitress placing down our orders on the table. I took a drink of my Earl Grey as Alyssa thanked the waiter. I licked my lips and looked at Alyssa. We both laughed._
_"[So,]" she said, her voice muffled by the cinammon roll she was eating. "[Just curious. What does your house and room look like?]"_
_I smiled. "You mean the chaos? Well, it certainly is getting more crowded, with three new AEs coming in and all. But anyways, the house overall is nice. Each of the rooms are different. My room has a beach theme, with light blue and turquoise waves on the walls amd stuff. There's also a reading chair, as I like reading magazines. It's pretty cool, and I like it. Moon Wolf knows my taste."_
_I took a bite of my croissant before asking her, "So what does your house and room look like? Is it more chaotic than mine, with so many AEs?"_

[Aries smiles and says "You mean the chaos? Well, it certainly is getting more crowded, with three new AEs coming in and all. But anyways, the house overall is nice. Each of the rooms are different. My room has a beach theme, with light blue and turquoise waves on the walls amd stuff. There's also a reading chair, as I like reading magazines. It's pretty cool, and I like it. Moon Wolf knows my taste." He takes a bite of his pastry and then asks, "So what does your house and room look like? Is it more chaotic than mine, with so many AEs?"]
["Our house is actually a giant tree house built in a huge oak. There are several rooms, towers, and balconies. It's really fun to climb around on the outside!! Erm, not that I'm supposed to do that... Anyway, my room is very fun! I have a loft bed, and the far wall and ceiling has climbing holds on them, so I can climb around in my room. My floor is padded with foam, so if I fall I won't hurt myself. And, of course, my room had a balcony coming off from it. And from THAT, a zip line connects to a platform in a different tree, so I can leave the house without using the lift or stairs!" I giggle, then answer Aries's next question. "I mean, I can't really say if it is more chaotic or not, given I cause a large majority of it to begin with. So I'd say... Maybe? Justin, Rose, V and Ali are all very chill when not wound up with music or a party or by me or Stacy. Me and Stacy (and a couple of the pets) cause the chaos." I laugh, and drain my cup. "so there you have it." I can't think of anything else to add, so I stay quiet.]

_Alyssa told me about her house and room, which sounds a whole lot more interesting than mine. And as for the chaos, Alyssa seemed to be the one causing it, which is pretty funny. Either way, I'd enjoy watching the chaos she causes._
_When she fell silent, I asked, "So, you said you have a cat, right? Can you tell me more about them?"_

^I'm sorry to see Justin's jeep ahead of us. I never wanted that last golden walk through the park to end. I see an AE who's probably Rose sitting in it. I know she's deaf, so I'm not surprised to see her using sign language; what does surprise me is when she talks. I know that some deaf people can still speak, though, and I'm glad for her that she's able to. She seems sweet; I feel that we'd get along well together.^
^"Heyyyy!" she greets me. "I'm Rose! Love your dog, btw."^
^"Hi," I reply, "nice to meet you. I'm Vireo. And thanks! Her name's Goldilocks Sunshine."^
^Justin climbs into the jeep and turns to me, asking me where I want to sit and where my house is. "Back, I suppose," I reply. "I don't really mind. And I live - just drop me off on Firewood Street."^
^We drive off, and I lean back, watching the last glory of the afternoon. Who knew any afternoon could be this wonderful? I'm everlastingly grateful that I met Justin, and that he liked me; after today, I'm sure that I do love him. Who else is as cute or as lovely as he is?^

/Justin/
/Vir hops in the back with GoldiSun by her side, and Rose climbs in the passenger seat. I start the car, feeling a little self concious, and make sure I pull smoothly into the road. Vir said to drop her off at Firewood Street, and I navigate through the city until I find the said road./
/"There," Vir directs me to one of the nice, large houses. I pull over, then turn the jeep off. Vir gets out, the golden retriever puppy bouncing out as well. I unbuckle, and open the door and get out as well for a moment. "I had a lot of fun today," I said again. "Oh, Justin, so did I," Vir smiled. I hesitate for a moment, then pull her into a hug. She hugs me back, and we just stand there for a moment. "I love you," I breath into her hair, then pull away. She's still smiling, and I smile softly back at her. Then I dip my head and get back into my jeep. I watch Vir walk over to her front door, and she looks back and waves. I wave back, the start the jeep and pull away from the curb. Rose raises her eyes at me, and I roll my eyes back. But as I turned away from her and faced the road ahead, all I could imagine was good times./
So I'm done with Justin! you could do one more of Vir, or not at all. Let me know when you want to do another date with these two, or I'll let YOU know. /How about right now?/ Justin... /Hmph./
This was really fun! I enjoyed it, Justin loved it, so was fun on all sides!

/Layia/
/So for some reason Poinsettia took it into her head to ship me with some guy whom I don't even know, and though I don't tell her so, I'm feeling quite upset. I don't want to be shipped. I like to be by myself. Sure, I dream occasionally about meeting... someone. But that doesn't mean I'm ready to go through with a real romance./
/To calm myself down, I head off to the woods. It's full of fragrant pines and saucy squirrels that leap from tree to tree. I settle down against a tree trunk and take out my notebook, my irritation forgotten. I can feel inspiration for a poem bubbling up inside me. And I'm just about to start, when I look up and see that I'm not alone, and any inspiration I had disappears./
/"Who are you?" I ask, too surprised to be shy./
(August 28, 2023 - 2:55 pm)
=Callisto=
=Moon Wolf recently decided to ship me with Poinsettia's AE, whom I never met, of course. But then again, what am I to expect here, in this weird and wonderful place? Expect the unexpected, I guess.=
=Of course, in addition to that, the other AEs are bothering me constantly. Well, not really, seeing that Lyra keeps to herself mostly unless we disturb her, and Aries being away on a date and all, but I have Astra. Astra is...something else. She's a bit like a corn kernel in a popcorn machine, or a super bright sunbeam, if you get what I mean.=
=And Astra, being into the outdoors and nature, was trying to get me to go outside on a hike. I'm not usually an outdoorsy person. I'm more into staying inside at my computer in my room, which Moon Wolf recently finished. But either way, I was pushed outside against my will, and Astra didn't even accompany me, saying that it is best to spend some time with nature alone. I don't really mind, actually, seeing that I could do with some peace and quiet away from her.=
=So, I'm just wandering aimlessly through the woods, hearing birds squawking, or singing, depending how you look at it, in the trees, squirrels chittering and running across my path, when I suddenly realize that I'm actually not the only person here. I see a girl who looks around my age with a thoughtful expression on her face, as if she's thinking about something.=
=The girl looks up, startled, as she sees me. "/Who are you?/" she asks.=
="I'm Callisto," I reply. "Sorry if I startled you or anything. I didn't think anyone else would be here," I explain, my voice calm like it usually is when I talk. "Who are you?"=

/Layia/
/Why don't I mind it that this random guy interrupted me in my poetry-writing? It is very odd. But I don't have time to think about that right now./
/"I'm Layia," I say in answer to his question. "One of Poinsettia's AEs." My voice comes out sounding shy and a little unsure, the way it usually does when I'm with people I don't know well. "And don't worry, you didn't really startle me. I'm just not used to seeing anyone else here. Do you usually come here?"/

Not sure if it went through the first time, so I'm just gonna retype it.
=Callisto=
=She introduces herself as Layia, one of Poinsettia's AE. She sounds a little quiet, but then again, I'm also quiet sometimes, so I don't really care.=
="/Do you usually come here?/" she asks me.=
="No, not usually," I reply, laughing a little. "It was actually Astra, another AE, who pushed me out here to get some fresh air....but it's quite nice out here, isn't it?" I admit, glancing around at the woodland scenery.=
(September 6, 2023 - 11:15 pm)
/Layia/
/Hmm. He does appreciate nature. Poinsettia told me he did, and truth to tell, it was the only reason I even agreed to be shipped with him.
"It's gorgeous," I say softly. I tip my head back and gaze up at the leaves rustling in the breeze, allowing the breeze to ruffle my hair, which is already none too neat, but never mind. "I come to here to write poetry and just think about stuff." I fall silent, watching a squirrel leap across the ground. I can't think of anything more to say, but I get the feeling this boy's a person who won't mind if you're quiet./
(September 11, 2023 - 5:06 pm)
=Callisto=
=She falls silent, but I don't really mind. I take the time to admire the nature around me, which is completely different from the usual computer screens of lines and lines of code. Poetry sounds difficult, but honestly, if you really think about it, it's basically coding but with words and descriptions and meanings. Each and every one of everything and everyone have similarities.=
=I smile. "Look, there's a red squirrel in that tree," I say quietly, pointing to the tree on my left. The red squirrel looks rather cute, I admit to myself.

^Vireo^
^We have a pleasant ride home; Justin, I find, is a good driver as well as a good everything else. I open the car door and slip outside with Goldi, regretful that the day is finally at an end. It seems like forever since I came up to the cafe, feeling nervous and hoping I wouldn't be late.^
^"I had a lot of fun today," Justin tells me, mirroring my feelings as he steps out of the car.^
^"Oh, Justin, so did I," I say with a smile. Justin pauses for a moment, looking at me in a way that makes me suspect what's coming. Then he comes over to me and hugs me. I feel his warm breath in my hair as he whispers, "I love you."^
^"I love you as well, Justin," I reply softly, clinging to him for a moment longer before he stands back. We smile at each other, seeing in each other's eyes that we understand each other. Then Justin, nodding his head in farewell, turns back to his car. Adorable, awkward Justin; but I somehow feel that that's a better way than saying goodbye in words. For him. "Bye," I say softly, then walk up the path towards the house. Just before I go in, I glance back at him where he's sitting in the jeep with the late sunset light shining on his face, and wave almost involuntarily. He waves back, smiling; then his jeep starts up with a loud roar and he drives away. I stand for just a moment longer on the doorstep, looking after him with a little smile on my face. This was the best date ever, and somehow, in those sunlit hours, love appeared out of nothing. And now it's here, I have a feeling that it will stay - and that, lovely as this date has been, the next one will be lovelier. There will be a next one, I think, laughing a little to myself as I go into the house...^
Yeah, this was lovely! Yeah, definitely, if you want them to go for another date just tell me and we can arrange something :) And it was really fun on Vir's and my side too!
