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.”

!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brain is so hyped up by this right now!!! I FEEL like I have a theory, but not really, it's like the puzzle pieces keep slipping out of my grasp, or I'm holding them the wrong way. When the really crazy stuff is explained, I'm just going to sit back and be like, "Oh. My. Gosh."

Dying coal? Weird pounding headaches? More animals? The tension rises!

Elementgirl, I'm fairly certain that you're new to CB, so I don't blame you too much, but normally ski lodges or solo writes won't accept any entries past the beginning of the story. At the beginning, authors of the thread will give out an allotted number of spots in the story, and close them after they've been filled. I'd have been glad to at the start of this solo write, but I'm already about halfway into the story and I can't accept anyone else. I like the character you made (though it may be a bit OP; normally animals don't have superpowers), but there's just no room for her. 

Again, I'm sorry, but I have to decline your charrie.

CL, I love the story. Please don't stop now. If you are going to stop, announce it on here, and if you aren't, at least comment every once and awhile! Sorry if this sounds rude, I just don't want this thread to fal, to the back and be forgotten.

Don't worry friends! I have no plan of abandoning this story without seeing it through to the end. Part 9 is currently in progress and will be coming out at least within a few days!
