Chatterbox: Inkwell

Preface:

In a little part of a large city, there was a town. A small one, but with many people. Life had been getting hard for the people of the town  because with global warming, the winter seemed to arrive much quicker, causing animals (and people) to be freezing in their homes. At Redcrest Academy, the town’s main school, all kinds of books had been banned. In an apartment in this town, a secret place was found… 

Carmen ran up the stairs to her room, backpack slung over one shoulder. “Phew…” She let out a breath and checked her watch. “Okay, I made it before 4:00. Mother won’t be angry.” She unzipped her backpack and took out her computer. “Time to get to work.” She opened up some class assignments and when the computer buzzed to let her know of a notification. I don’t want to procrastinate again but…. Maybe this is something important? She checked her email and spotted a text from one of her friends. It read, “Carmen? Remember how your apartment was completely designed and built by the previous owner? Well, I remember how when I last went to it and bumped against the wall in the hallway. It was hollow.” After reading it, Carmen went over to the hallway right outside of her apartment room and knocked on it. A while went by until the knock revealed a hollow part. It was in the area with a built-in shelf. Carmen groped around the sides of it, feeling for a crack in the shelf, an opening. When she found it, she pulled the shelf out, revealing that it was a door. She walked inside, closing the door and saw… a massive library, untouched for years.

~Info/Rules~

Hello! I hope you would like to join and I want to clarify a few things here. 

1. Your character can be any age, as long as you find a way to fit it within the overarching story. For example, having a character aged 15-17 goes to Redcrest Academy, while other ages should fit into it somehow (perhaps by having a sibling at the academy or your character living in the apartment).

2. No magical characters or such. Please make sure to make your characters completely human

3. You can make up to 3 characters (although that isn’t necessary)
