Chatterbox: Inkwell
Little Lost Library
Little Lost Library
Hello Everybuggy! This is sort of a role play type of story. It's inspired by "Daydreams Cafe" by Miss Plum, which I absolutely loved, and the CBers' response to the "Daydreams Cafe." Enjoy!
You look around at the mysterious mist surrounding you. You have no idea where you are, and you're sure you were in the Chatterbox just a moment ago. You decide the best option would be to walk forward and hopefully find something or someone you recognize.
After walking for what feels like forever, you see a figure in the mist. Racing forward in hopes this person can tell you where in the world you are, you smile. Finally, someone else. When you get close enough to the figure to see it, you are slightly disappointed that you don't recognize this person at all. Her hair is blond, and her eyes are blueish- purple. An owl flutters in ther air next to her. She smiles at you. "Hello," she says. "I'm Periwinkle." "Periwinkle?" You repeat. "That's a cool name." Her smile widens. "Thank you, my friend!" You remember your mission to find out where you are. "Can you please help me? I need to know where I am!" Periwinkle looks at you with a twinkle in her eyes. "You are standing outside of The Little Lost Library," she answers, pointing to the tall brick building next to you. "Oh." You say. For a moment of two, there is a silence between the two of you. "Well, aren't you going inside, then?" Periwinkle asks. You are curious about what is inside, but still hesitate. "Will you come with me?" You ask. Periwinkle smiles sadly. "I cannot, my friend. But you will recognize some people inside. Best of luck!" You walk inside before you can chicken out. Inside, you are surrounded by giant bookshelves filled with books. Each bookshelf has a bronze ladder leaned against it. You grab a book and sit down at a table, with a few friends you recognize...
So, Everybuggy, what is your book about and who are you sitting near? Have fun and thanks to Miss Plum for inspiring me.

I glance at Star and June, and we walk towards the voice. I can't make out what it said. It's River. She's staring at the painting of the Winters we saw earlier as if she's seen a ghost.
"Andrew and Anika..." She starts when she sees us. "Oh! Hi, June. I've seen you before. But I don't know your name. And who are you?"
I introduce myself and Star Princess, and River nods enthusiastically. "Cool! I'm River. I was trying to figure out where I've heard these two's names before." She gestured to the painting.

"Wow..." I whisper "the first Librarian..."
I trace my finger over the painting. I feel a slight chill.
"Is it just me? Or did you guys suddenly feel a draft?" asks River.
"Yeah, thats odd. Usually the Library is nice and warm." says June.
I hold out my hand and a white cloak flies into the room, fastening itself to my neck. "Hmm" says June. "I feel like there's something behind that painting...."
"Yes" says River. "I was drawn to it because I could sense a mysterious power emanating from behind it"
"I don't know what it is, but its powerful."

Something seems odd about this painting, and you suddenly notice a keyhole on the brass frame of the painting. You point it out to the others. "Strange," says June. "Something feels...wrong. Different then before. Like..." June pauses, like she doesn't quite know how to explain this feeling. "Like some sort of secret is being revealed, and I'm not sure how to feel about it." River nods in agreement. "I feel it too. Especially since-" River lowers her voice slightly- "I think I know where the key is."
-Once again, you guys may decide where the key is, and, if you'd like, what's behind the painting.-

Hey, guys! Just wondering if you still felt like doing this. It's perfectly fine if not- this thread's been going on a while, so if you need a break that's ok.

I don't really know how to top a thread, but, um, top!

"It's a bit of a process," says River, "Moonkitten please get back here.". Moonkitten reluctantly turns away from a calico. River goes over to a large painting of a basket of yarn. She holds her arm out and pulls on a hidden chain. The painting melts away, revealing three gems imbedded in the wall, one blue, one green, and one purple. The purple one is glowing. Above the gems is plaque, stating "Bring forth water, earth, and sky, the key will be yours.". Rivers eyes widen at the sight of the glowing purple gem. "Why is the sky crystal glowing?!" she says incredulously, "It's never done that before!"
"About that," I say, scratching my neck, "I'm a starlette."

Thank you @Moonkitten, for bringing this back to life!

My eyes dart from Star to River. "Hold on, I'm confused. What's a starlette? And, June, where do we find Dovetree?"
