She staggered into
Chatterbox: Inkwell
She staggered into
She staggered into her old home, looking around. In short, it was bewildering. New faces ran about in the streets, all calling to one another happily.
They didn't know. It was better that way, she knew, but it still hurt not to have her and her friends' names called out instead. These new neighbors, should have been her friends too.
But instead, she had chosen to tear up her roots, and try and hide her broken heart again. She had to drop by, and say hello. Ask how everyone was doing.
And make it alright. If she just came back once; not to stay, but to say hello, to make it feel better. It still hurt, that much was obvious.
It would never stop hurting, but some things might deaden the pain a little; rust the edge of the sword. Some things like extending a hand in friendship once more. With some, she had already.
But she had to extend this to the place, too. They would welcome her back, it was true. But they had rebuilt without her, and it felt so, very different.
Now, she was ready to make peace, and lay all of the old ghosts of the pasts to rest. And with that, she stood up on the soapbox, and yelled, "So, how are you all doing?"

Nope, I'm not! And yes, I'll still be able to write and look around on the internet. ;)

THE SOAPBOX HAS BEEN RESURRECTED
Nice to see you, Cho! I'm running on a similar schedule to you right now- school and sleep take up a good 95% of my time. The remaining 5% is mostly NecroDancer-related stuff. How's life on your end?
Koda says ggym. What about a gym, Koda? Yes, my most recent class was gym, but what else?
(April 17, 2017 - 3:57 pm)
OHMIGANDALF ITS CURIO-- Seriously though, I haven't seen you in AGES. *hugs*
Life is ... fun? Hectic, exciting, rainy, wonderful, horrid, and so many other adjectives.
(April 18, 2017 - 9:43 am)
CHO CHO CHO CHO CHO!!!! *Obsessive squealing happening right now*
I know we already talk on email, but I've missed seeing you on the CB!
Puck: Yo Elsa! Nice to see you again!
Diovald: *Blushes* Hello Elsa. Has your brother Thorn returned yet? And how is dear Pinkie?
Joan: (Sidenote: Sorry I haven't been emailing you; school has yet again been pretty hectic.)
(April 17, 2017 - 5:25 pm)
Lol, it's fine, I totally understand.
Hello, dearest Diovald. And hello to you, Puck.
Hm ... I think that Elsa has become much more Victorian in her ways.
I want to scream. But my vocal cords still aren't working right, Cho.
Pinkie is ... still recovering. To say the least.
Cho, you can't leave here again, you didn't even let me say hello to my true love! *sinks to his knees* Cho. I beg you.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU WERE STILL ALIVE WHAT THE HECK--
He's the only one of us who has to stay here. Pinkie does better here, I'm a nomad of sorts.
No, just extremely versatile.
All cakes are pies. Since I can't scream it, I might as well say it. Peace. *disappears in a puff of purple sparkles and smoke*
Thorn, I'm afraid we can't stay. It's not my home anymore, they changed it. My house o' dreams was burned down in the fire. We ... could go back, but it would be hard.
Have you ever backed down from a challenge before?
I suppose not, but I don't think it would be a good idea to do so right before we move ...
We shall return.
HEY! You can't promise that for me! How 'bout a maybe for them? Maybe?
Cho, if we can't come back here, we will die.
You want to get mixed up in crazy shennanigans?
YES.
I don't think I'm ready.
Then when after you settle down in 日本?
I didn't know that you knew any Japanese!
That doesn't matter. Just give us an answer.
I cannot give you my blessing. The only answer I can give you is a maybe, but probably not.
Then we shall wait.
*disembodied voice* DUH!
For a lifetime, if necessary.
(April 18, 2017 - 9:55 am)
Is that? Thorn? I... Please, Miss Chang. Stay just a little longer. Just, let us say hello.
Mrs Elton? I didn't know you were still here.
I will always come back, when he needs me. Miss Chang, I am begging you, stay. Stay for our sakes at least.
(April 18, 2017 - 9:30 pm)
My love. *embraces Ms. Elton*
You're alive.
Wow, he's crying a little.
And I am not ashamed of it.
Let me wait a bit longer. I think it's too soon. For me, at least.
Cho, you cannot allow us to be torn apart for a second time.
What about me, Thorn?
I need her. Like your Ruineth character needs that Arndir.
*stiffens* Let's not talk about me and--er, Ruineth and Arndir, okay?
I was just using it as an example for you, Cho. So that you could understand how we are feeling.
If we leave again, Cho, some of us ... may not be coming back.
She's talking about me.
Yeah, I realized that, Pinkie.
Could you guys wait it out until after the move? Maybe?
I will wait forever, if that is what it takes.
As will I.
Uhhh ... I don't think I have that kind of patience.
Oh, Pinkie.
aeft.
I'm afraid I don't understand you, Sloth. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE ALIVE!
aeft.
AE ...?
aeft.
Fit? YEAH. We'll throw a fit if you leave again, Cho! A PARTY fit. :D
*hugs Pinkie*
I ... don't know. Please? After the move? Can you wait that long, Pinkie?
Yes.
We will return then, and see if we will stay.
(April 19, 2017 - 8:16 am)
*Embraces Thorn* I suppose I can be patient. For now. Goodbye my love. I await your return. *Wipes away a tear*
(April 19, 2017 - 9:57 am)
*Sniffs* So sad we have no idea about these shippings!
I don't really care.
You insensitive, little, half-ghost! You don't know how much this means to them, so why can't you at least PRETEND that you have empathy.
You're right, Storra. Sorry to all of you I may have offended. I know that Cho hasn't been here in a very long time, and that -- though we don't know them -- they mean a lot to the other CBers.
I've never heard her that sincere before.
You're right, Sketch. Neither have I.
(April 19, 2017 - 3:54 pm)
WAAHHHH, CHO I WANT TO KNOW THESE AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!!
Your vocal cords seem to have recovered, Pinkie.
SHUT UP, STUFFED SHIRT!
*offended silence*
I'm not going to tell you three to shut --
I haven't been the one arguing.
I know, but--
You were just--?
Don't.
To shut up, just because I've missed you. It's tearing me apart and supporting me all at the same time.
(April 19, 2017 - 6:48 pm)
You do?!
Really? Also, by the way, Scarlet is open to shipping!
AM NOT! I swear to Asgore, Storra, I'm going to burn your face off!
I'd like to see you try.
Don't you all love how we all fight whenever we all type on here? (Also Lucy's not here because she has to do a commision for a library)
Anyway, my dad (if you don't know, he's Mettaton from Undertale) is PROBABLY going to call me to go to his show in a few minutes, and you know how he gets when I'm late, even if I supply as the whole crew.
Bye!
*cellphone rings* There's my cue! *Leaves*
But I was just kidding, Scarlet can and will burn you if you try to ship her with anyone.
Storra and I, Sketch, are both open to shipping.
Hey! Why are you on my computer!?!?!?! I was listening to music on that!
(April 21, 2017 - 4:16 pm)
*stares at them in astonishment*
HAH! Sorry, y'all are fun, but we're all matched up with people.
But I will probably claw your face off if you make any moves on my sisters or me.
I'm currently dating Diovald.
I am engaged to Ms. Elton.
Ehhhh, Snyder asked me out, but we're mostly just REALLY GOOD CHUMMY FRIENDS + BF & GF. ^^ He's sweet, and I love him.
(April 22, 2017 - 4:43 pm)
Eh, a lot of people didn't know that my AEs (minus Scarlet) are open to shippings. I just thought that other people would see it as well.
Did you really think we wouldn't see all the romantic conversations above these posts?
(April 22, 2017 - 7:29 pm)
WHAT!! THEY CAN SEEEEE ...
Yes, they can, but I figured that a little bit of background info would be useful.
*is utterly embarassed*
O.O
(April 23, 2017 - 12:33 pm)
*laughing SUPER hard* *gasps* Can't . . . breath . . .
Remind me again why this is so funny?
Because Sketch says so.
What does that have to do with anything?
*Still dying of laughter* That reaction, though! That was TOO GOOD!
That's kinda mean, sis, wouldn't you think?
*akwkardly stops* Maybe you're right . . .
STORRA'S ALWAYS RIGHT, DOOFUS!!!
