Chatterbox: Inkwell

A blue jay glided to the window ledge of the only bakery. Inside, the baker had just pulled out a tray of the finest raisin cookies. Just as one of the number shimmered silver, the jay swept in through the open window and plucked the cookie from the rest. The bird soared into the streets despite the stunned baker’s protests. The timepiece-laden shoppers stopped to watch as the bird and the cookie disappeared from Time.

 

A shout arose. A stampede charged through the crowds. A stampede of some of the most creative children alive. A stampede of Chatterboxers. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. Phoenix-song notes echoed through the streets. A hoarse whisper so loud it shook the ground emanated from the vanishing-point.

 

CATCH THE COOKIE. THE CHASE IS ON.

YES. YES YES YES. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.

A blank thread. 

Enigma.

Confusion.

Several unfinished storylines. 

A hinted return of the serene goat.

AND IT ALL LEADED TO A CATCH THE COOKIE THREAD.

... 

*Snatches cookie and leaps into a taxi* 

"To the mountains!" I shout to the driver. He steps on the gas and informs me that his service is free for cookie runaways. I nod in thanks and lean out the window, trying to make someone think I threw the cookie into the bushes while shooing the approaching flock of assorted birds.

Catch the Cookie threads are RP games where the object is simply to catch and keep/eat a cookie. There are no rules to my knowledge. *runs after the jay*

*decides she's too slow* *summons sticky notes into a strange craft and zooms off in it* *sends a dozen pads of Post-its after the cookie* *watches as her Post-its vanquish the jay and capture the cookie, flying towards them the whole time* *grabs the cookie*

Hey pheonix! Come and get me! 

Mexi says pzzi. You'd rather have pizza? ...Well, I guess this cookie isn't necessarily your favorite food.

*Decides that I probably need wings on account of opponents with wings/flying carpets/flying powers*

*Puzzles over how to get wings* 

"ymth!"

Sure, Fred. When I win you can put the cookie in your mouth.

Who has it right now?

~Kiwi the blue jay scanned the horizon. Clue had given her some of her powers, but being a bird didn’t solve everything. Kiwi morphed back to her true form and put her wings to use. She pulled out her beech wand and performed an Inveniet Charm. Almost immediately, a beacon of light shot up from a remote hillside. Upon closer inspection it suspiciously appeared to house a wall of fire.

Fireburst.

Ignis Resistentia 

Kiwi dove through the fire wall and neatly snatched the cookie from a gaping Fireburst. She smiled to herself and doubled back, instantly bombarded by a barricade of post-its.

Viola?. 

Tantum Portum

With a sickening crack, Kiwi left Cookie Dimention 13. A ruffled jay feather floated to the ground in her place.~

~Cookie Dimension 4 was a practically endless snowy woods, with plenty of hiding places. Kiwi crawled out from behind a boulder. The woods were silent. She pulled a small bundle of navy blue cloth from her satchel and unwrapped the cookie. A silver glittering erupted from it. It whispered again, though not so hoarse and loud this time. 

July has died. The cookie is yours. Make a wish.

Kiwi sighed with relief and closed her eyes. Phoenix-song echoed through the frozen lands. A golden gleam emerged from the trees and landed beside her outstretched hand. A majestic creature for which Kiwi had no name alighted beside the phoenix. The song filled the wood.

Thank you Emblem, take your reward.

Before Kiwi could do anything, the beast had carefully taken the cookie from her hand and resumed its true, uncursed form, before evaporating in a shower of silver magic. A silver feather fell into Kiwi’s still outstretched palms. The phoenix turned to her and answered her thoughts.

Let them guess.

And with that, he too vanished, this time with a fiery golden magic, and another object floated down into her palm. A perfect phoenix feather. Soren’s feather.~
