Chatterbox: Inkwell

CB Spirit Solo Write

This is a solo write slightly based off of the Werecreature RP, where CBers gain the power to assume the form of an animal at will. Maybe you were thinking about it as you went to sleep one night…

...and woke up in a beautiful garden the next day. You don't know why you're there, or what you should do. As you explore the garden, though, finding new friends (and enemies) all along the way, you have a feeling something bigger might be going on here...

I’ll accept 11 CBers, maybe one and two more if they don’t apply too late. No two people can have the same animal. Here’s the sheet:

 

CB Name:

Appearance as human:

Personality:

Animal:

Heightened abilities:

Anything extra:

 

The plot will be developed as we go along; I already have an idea for this.  

A few things:

1.) All people who join will be MCs, but the ones who joined first will likely be featured more.

2.) No diary entries or other pieces, please. This is written by me, a solo write.

3.) I will not accept anyone after all the spots have been filled, unless you ask very nicely. Absolutely NO one can join after I've cut it off.

Their eyes fluttered open to the muffled sound of singing birds, the feathered animals' voices calling back and forth to each other. Sitting up, they suddenly realized they had no idea where they were. What was this place?... it was a beautiful garden, to say the least. But it was also scarily unfamiliar. How… how did I get here? Pressing their palm to their forehead, they racked their thoughts, trying to think of how they would have arrived here.

Finally they stood up and slid off the perfectly made bed they had woken up on, hesitantly stepping onto the dewy grass.
“Hello, there,” a voice suddenly said, echoing off the domed, glass ceiling yet ringing in their ear. They jumped, spinning around in search of the person who was speaking. The voice was changed so they couldn’t tell age, gender, anything at all. The disembodied voice laughed, a sound like a chiming bell. “You must have several questions, I expect. Unfortunately… I may not have all the answers. Or maybe I do? Either way, this is something you will need to learn for yourself.”

They waited in confusion, but the voice wasn’t appearing to continue their speech. Slowly, they looked around them. They could feel a sharp, cold wind blowing from their left, but a sultry and warm one was swirling from their right. They sighed, shaking their head. It did seem they’d have to do this on their own. They took a step towards the warmer air when a few last words from the voice startled them, setting their heart beating fast again.

“Oh, one more thing. Welcome to the Garden of Fallacia.”

CB Name: Kestrel
Appearance as human: Mid back length, golden blonde hair that shines silver in the moonlight. Crystal clear, strikingly sharp, pine green eyes with silver flecks around the pupil. A little bit on the taller side for my age. Lithe, athletic build. Much stronger than I look to be.
Personality: Curious, observant, wary, resourceful, very aware of her surroundings, slow to trust, fierce, loyal, doesn't always think things through before she acts (this gets her into trouble more often than not), can be a little distant/ cold before she gets to know you, defiant, loathes unecessary cruelty, will seek revenge if those she cares for are hurt or worse, very passionate about many things, strong moral compass, can have a sharp tongue when annoyed, and when she is happy she is teasing, witty, and carefree, but when she is angry or sad, she builds up mental walls around herself and withdraws from the world.
Animal: White-Tailed Hawk
Heightened abilities: Sight, hearing, speed/ agility
Anything extra: Not exactly the most pleasant past. Dislikes talking about it, and will typically avoid the topic at all costs, unless she trusts you with her life, but very few people get to that level of trust with her.

I'm excited to read this! It's a great idea, and I love the prologue you put in.

I also hate arguments and usually will try to make a compromise or just agree with everything in order for no arguments. I'm also melodramatic and can get sad over the littlest of reasons.
