Booklyn~ A Library

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Booklyn~ A Library

Booklyn~ A Library Lodge

The cover was hard-backed, and it was painted a nice green color. The spine was stiff, and the pages had that smell that only brand new, just-off-the-shelf-smell books had. The pages were white, and had rough edges to give it an olden appearance. There were no words on the pages, blank landscapes page after page. The cover had golden words written in cursive on it, and it spelled out; Booklyn: A place to write your own tail

For some reason, 'tail' replaced 'tale', which didn't make much since, but it didn't really matter all that much. On the title page, the only page with writing, had the publishing date, which read now. Below that, in smaller writing, were the words, Curious? You are my type of person. Tap HERE to learn more.

Once the word HERE was tapped, the air above the open book stuttered, and from the page a hologram appeared. It was of a lady, and though her features were blurred, anyone could see her dark skin, her short, crazy curly hair, and bright, happy eyes. Her teeth were blindingly white, even in this recording, as she smiled and began to speak.

Greetings, fellow book lover. I am The Librarian, and I am inviting you, whomever you are, to join me for a week here in my library. This place is a time to think, relax, read, and be inspired to write stories and poems. I sincerely hope you come, and I will welcome you with open arms. Toodles!

The hologram paused, and then the book flipped to the next page on it's own accord. Now, instead of a white page, a form appeared in that familiar golden writing.

FORM

Name:

Pronouns:

Appearance (please include your usual attire):

Personality:

Do you write, or read more?:

Do you like a bunch of snacks throught the day with a few meals here and there, or just three, maybe four solid meals?:

Do you believe in a higher power?:

*Offers you two pieces of chocolate* Milk or dark?:

A golden pen with the same golden ink appears on the page. Like any book, the story can continue, or the book can be shut and put away. Whatever happens, always remember, the chose is YOURS. 

If you haven't realized by now, this is a ski lodge. There will be no gore, blood, or explicit violence. This lodge will begin on the 1st of January, and no AEs, OCs, or CAPTCHAs. CBers only, and there is a 20 person limit (but I doubt it will get that high. Whatever number of people that have joined by the 1st will be that much. The spots will close regardless of filling all 20 spots or not). Feel free to guess me! Toodles!

Name: Scuttles 

Pronouns: I'm too tired to do the gender spiel right now. As my pronouns have been they/he for several days right now, just use they/them or he/him pronouns for me, whichever is easier.
Appearance (please include your usual attire): I'm tall, with tan skin and short dark brown hair that I like to dye fun colors. I have dark brown eyes, an average size nose, and heavy freckles across my face and upper arms. I have a pale pink scar over my left eye and a several ear piercings in each ear. I have big, floofy moth antennae and large moth wings that allow me to fly. I accidentally burp fire sometimes. I typically wear black sweatpants, a brightly colored sleeveless T-shirt, a black trench coat with some enamel pins on it and various patches stitched onto the sleeves, a scarf or bandana, fingerless gloves, and boots. I might also wear a beanie when it's cold. I can raise each of my eyebrows independently.
Personality: I'm sorta a combination of your inner toddler and your inner college student. I'm fiercely independent and self reliant and also fiercely ridiculous. I love both logic and illogic. I like to be unpredictable. I have secrets, but solely because having secrets makes me feel cool. I'm pretty outgoing and friendly but I need my alone time too. I like confusing things, conflicting things, and things that are hard to wrap your head around. I'm weird and I'm proud of it. I'm pretty clever and I enjoy pranking people. I like snakes, sharks, dinosaurs, and other scaly things. I'm not scared of bugs or spiders.
Do you write, or read more?: Both, about an equal amount.
Do you like a bunch of snacks throught the day with a few meals here and there, or just three, maybe four solid meals?: ALL THE SNACKS.
Did dinosaurs exist?:  they did and they still do.
Do you believe in a higher power?: Yes. The higher power I believe in depends on the day. Today I believe that the earth is being run by aliens from the other side of the galaxy. All the politicians are either aliens or working for the aliens. Tomorrow I might believe in the nature spirits or the Roman gods or something else.
*Offers you two pieces of chocolate* Milk or dark?: Dark.
Do you mind sleeping near somebody (or several somebodies?): Rather not but I can.
Why are you joining this lodge?: To write my own tail.
Other: Fluffles is out sick today so I'll be bringing my pet pterodactyl Bob. Bob eats human souls (I'll provide food for him. You don't need to worry about that). Bob is very friendly and likes wearing top hats, bow ties, monocles, and other dapper things.

Actually, Bob has recently come down with a nasty case of wing rot. I'll be bringing my other pet pterodactyl, Ptheodore, or Ptheo for short. Ptheo likes to wear Psunglasses.

Name: Lyric

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Appearance (please include your usual attire): T-shirt (solid or with a graphic design), black leggings, green jacket with buttons, glasses, thick black hair, very skinny.

Personality: Gentle, kind, quiet, shy (but I become more talkative as I get to know a person) logical, clever, anxious, optimistic, fidgety, a workaholic (the only way to describe my overcommitment to school, sadly), jumpy, creative, inquisitive, helpful, and thoughtful.

Do you write, or read more?: Write *sighs* I think I wrote thousands of words in the past two weeks, but only read two short poems. I have barely any time to read anymore…(due to school)

Do you like a bunch of snacks through the day with a few meals here and there, or just three, maybe four solid meals?: I always eat three meals a day, but a couple of snacks sandwiched in between, depending on when or if  I remember to eat them.

Did dinosaurs exist?: Yes. I’m pretty sure they do. 

Do you believe in a higher power?: Assuming you’re referring to religions, yes.

*Offers you two pieces of chocolate* Milk or dark?: Ooh thank you; I love chocolate :) *takes dark chocolate* *sees that most people chose milk chocolate* Oh…um…definitely no peer pressure haha

Do you mind sleeping near somebody (or several somebodies?): Um…maybe not…I know this is a ski lodge and there is safety in numbers but I know irl me would panic because I’ve never been to sleepovers or camp or anything like that, so…yes. I do mind a lot.

Why are you joining this lodge?: Because there is no gore or blood or explicit violence and I have no idea when there will be another ski lodge like that on Pudding’s Place and also because I have the time to join a ski lodge now that my to-do list for school just went down from 16 items to 7 :D

Other: Thank you!! I’m excited :D I love the title btw.


submitted by Lyric, age less busy, yay, a ski lodge!
