Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

Neo-MCU, Vol. 0

Welcome welcome, welcome! CBers, CAPTCHAs, and AEs of all kinds, ‘tis I, Writing_in_the_dark, who has taken the task upon xemself to…

DO THE MCU (gasps heard in the background)

For new CBers who don’t know what a MCU is, an MCU stands for Monthly Check-Up (NOT Marvel Cinematic Universe) and was previously run by Floof Industries/Ella Starburst, who, earlier this year, left the CB for good. They will be sorely missed, and I know I probably can't live up to Floof Industries’ expectations they’ve set for the future MCUs. But I’ll do what I can, because it was a soul part of the CB that can NOT be lost to time, at least not on my watch.

And so, here we have a Neo-MCU! But let me make it clear that I’m not REPLACING FLOOF (Gosh, no!!). It’s like when the first chocolate factory closed, chocolate didn’t stop being a thing! A new factory opened, and improved on the first, but that doesn’t mean the first chocolate wasn’t delicious!

But anyway, let us begin, yea?

It’s time for~

Wonderful! Now, here is where we would have the LMWAY (Last Month We Asked You), but we don't seem to have any answers at the moment! So here’s the question!

*shuffles papers professionally* What do you want us to bring back from the Floof MCUs (that we haven't already)?

And, now, Dawn with a new section, quotes! We will be doing an inspirational quote, a funny CB quote, and a quote from a book!

>We have… “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible!’” - Audrey Hepburn. Then, “Are pancakes just depressed waffles?” - Twilight. And, “Hercules, huh? That guy was like the Starbucks of ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn--there he is.” - Percy Jackson, The Mark Of Athena.<

Next, there’s the advice column! We would have the answers here, but, again, we don’t have them yet. How about you give everyone some advice about…

Telling your Valentine you like them! A hard task, indeed.

Only a few more sections! #What?!?!? BUT-! We haven’t even taken over the world yet…# (awkward silence) >... He means we haven't done “Threads to Check” yet!!!< (stage whispering) Nice save :)

And so we’ve come to the last section (for this MCU); Threads to Check Out! #Self explanatory#

ALRIGHT WE HAVE TO END HERE I’VE GOT TO POST IT WE’RE LATE~

Ok, ok--

I hope that we did the MCU justice, and remember next month will be run collectively by a group of CBers, with The Doodle Society coming back in February! Good-bye, you lizards!

*everyone strikes a professional pose* *holds it for a few seconds* *everyone quickly drops the pose, gasping for air*

I think that went well!

#We were awesome! *grows angel-like wings and flies around, whooping*#

Mmm, we could’ve done better. It was a bit… of a rush job.

Eh, you’re not exactly wrong.

*continues saying what they could’ve done better*

>*smiling, yet silent*<

#*Lands, un-shifts wings* Uh, guys…?#

WHAT, Tempest?

#We’re still recording#

What??

Oh, frog- *runs behind camera*
