The void watches,

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

The void watches,

The void watches, you know.
It's waiting.
It's planning.
It's lurking.
And it's coming for you.

//

On June 22, two days after the summer solstice, fourteen people received an unmarked envelope containing a simple peice of paper and two small objects. It was a form, with some ordinary questions, and some, well, unordinary ones. The objects were a red paper clip bent into an X, and a tiny hard drive. If this hard drive was inserted into a computer, the following message would play:

[[Recording::START]

Hello, darling. I hope this message finds you well. You don't recognize my voice, do you? I'm sorry. We've never met... In this timeline, at least. But you'll understand that once you arrive. Don't worry. Just come to the willow tree at the end of your street and wait. I promise you, nothing-- nothing-- nothing-- will harm you. Just, there's a chance you could-- could-- could-- could-- but I'm sure you'll be safe. Trust me, and come to the willow tree.

[[Recording:: END]

On June 22, two days after the summer solstice, fourteen people walked down fourteen streets and stood under fourteen willow trees.

And so it began.

You are very majestic with your use of french at the end of your comment. I applaud you in being majestic and cool and french.

Also, thank you for the cough drop. I'm excited to see you at the ski lodge- although you're not going to like day 0. It's not a good day number-wise, if you know what I mean.

You probably don't, but anyways.

Au revoir!

Definatley going to join this:

Name: Neverseen 

Gender/Pronouns: She/Her

Appearance: Dirty-blond hair that is almost alway back in a ponytail, hazel eyes, tall for her age, long fingers (kind of random, but they are good for playing piano).

A Quote You Could Be Found Saying: "Sticky notes are your friend!" (Uh yeah - I say this a lot to the more forgetful people I know) 

Personality: I would say I am pretty evenly balanced between introverted and extroverted, though I might lean to the introverted side slightly. I love talking to my close friends though, and will talk to others easily too (depending on the circumstance - usually I won't if it happens to be field day - long story)

Favorite Color: Navy or Cerulean Blue. 

The One Item You Wouldn't Grab If Your House Was On Fire: I would not grab a log from the fireplace because 1)it could catch on fire easily 2) it had no value to me 3) I don't know how to open in the fireplace screen 4) I don't particularly care to be hauling a log around 5) It might have insects on it and I don't want to be hauling those around either. 

Prefered Way Of Dying (Being Stabbed In The Foot Is Not An Option. That Didn't End Well Last Time): Uh, I guess poison or a very creative quick trap is appealing, but I don't necessarily want to die anytime soon, so...old age would be the top choice. But still, I love a good creative trap...and poison.

The First Initial Of Your Second Best Friend: A or L (they are kinda tied at the moment so, you can pick)

Least Favorite Number: 10 - it's not divisible by three. It's a boring 1 and 0 combined. It's the even boring to say. Bleh. 

If You Had Any Power In The World, What Would It Be?: I'd like the ability to travel into books. Perferably the non-violent scenes

Frilled Shark?: 

Grilled Lemming?: ^ Are these two for meals? Uh, I guess if I had to.

1 or 4?: 4

Burned Or Drowned?: Drowned 

Would You Or Would You Not Call For Help In A Tense Situation?: It depends on what the tense situation is. Yes if it is life threatening, no if it is not. 

*Coughs Loudly*: Excuse you.

Are You Interested In Becoming A Butler? (DONT. IT DOESNT WORK OUT. YOU WILL GET SHOT BY TINY CHILDREN WITH NERF GUNS.): No, I'd prefer not to...

Are You Interested In Becoming A Broom Lady? (DO. ITS A WONDERFUL CAREER CHOICE IF YOU LIKE SMACKING SAID TINY CHILDREN WITH BROOMS.): Not particularly...

Do You Wish I Would Stop With These Questions?:Well I'd like to know their reasons.

Are You Glad That This Is The Last Question?: I don't think it will be. 

Are You Annoyed That The Previous Question Was Not The Last Question Like I Said It Was?: No, not really. I expected it. 

Are You Okay With Brain Damage From Chaotic Demons With Fish Tails?: No! I like my brain!

I'll Stop Now. You're Welcome!: *Stops writing, thoroughly confused*

Can't wait!

Don't worry, Neverseen, you will get a lot more confused very soon.

Actually, that is a cause for worry. 

Dear me, what has become of my brain?

No :')

....Not Applicable.

Nope!

OOH! CHAOTIC DEMONS! LIKE MOI! AND YES! IM OKAY BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS ALREADY DAMAGED SO I DON'T CARE!

...thank you, I guess. It was rather fun being asked these questions. 

In addition to that, I have been called "Technoblade's Daughter" before.

Strange name, but I'll take it.

I'm not sure which question is which, but it sounds like you want to become a broom lady and kill orphans, you are a lemming, and your sexuality is a gender. Nice!

I look forward to seeing you at the ski lodge, and, um, I will not question the end of your comment. Bye!

(It'd be great if you could clear up which questions are which- I think you skipped some.)
