The internet is a storm of URLs, wi-fi and strings of dangerous code, whirling and thundering. Out in the wilderness you can only survive so long unaided, but in here, behind the mellow yellow windows, a safe and comforting place awaits. This place is a respite from the internet; the fire crackles invitingly and alluring rainbow-coloured drinks are poured into glasses. Exciting chatter fills the rooms from tables bustling with friends, eating from trays of warm, rustic carum bread and hearty stews. Gentle music comes from the band in the background.

Come in, chat away, have a great time! The old location may have been overrun by the Codekind, but this new building has three-meter thick walls, three floors and turret bedrooms to rest in at the top! We’ve returned, free from the battles of the secret pages! A safe micro-community of equality and no judgement. Hang up your HTML-reflective suit at the door and settle in with a drink and a meal.
Notice Board: Free candy in the bowl on the counter! What types of candy are there? Yes.
Sunpaw bought a Cherryade and 1 serving size of nachos before heading over to the reception. “Hello, can I have a room, please? It needs to have lots of windows too.”
Sunpaw sat down at a table near the reception while she waited for a key.
Wren looked down from her phoenix. “I need a room too. Preferably one that is fireproof and magicproof.” She pointed at all her creatures that were now running and flying around scaring everyone.
“I don’t think any of the rooms are fireproof. Also, can I have another watermelon?”
Navy magicked a shield and also a whole forcefield so nobody spilled her pot noodles.
“AHAHAHAHAGAHAG IM UNTOUCHABLE NOW!!!!!!!!” She screamed.
Sweets looked over at Navy https://binged.it/2ZUYUJH
Snowy may have played with the phoenix a bit too much
“ooooh no… I am soo sorry Wren…”
Uhh… does anybody want this? It is 2 pixels for a dead bird…
“YOU JUST KILLED MY PHOENIX HOW DARE YOU?!” yelled Wren, lunging at Snowy with Jayfeayher’s stick in one hand and her poor phoenix in the other. “ALSO DOES ANYONE HAVE POWERS TO BRING IT BACK FROM THE DEAD I’LL PAY 200 PIXELS IF YOU DO!”
“3,2,1…” The phoenix burst into flames, and from the ashes was born a tiny baby phoenix.
“Oh!” Wren yelled in surprise. “Just like Dumbledore’s Fawkes! I’ll name you Fawkes!”
Navy looked up from the table behind her. “No need. Phoenixes regenerate out of the ashes anyway.”
Snowy shoves the shiny things she found near Wren
“I AM SORRY OKAY?!”
Blackie growled at Wren defensively and unsheathed his claws. “If you want to get him, you’ll have to go through me!” He bared his teeth at Wren and looked surprisingly small against Snowy. (Why am I defending snowy lol)
Im a woman but thanks
“Um excuse me whoever works here?” Sunpaw cooly sips her cherryade. “But I asked for a room and I haven’t gotten it yet? Explain yourself please.”
“Comments get modded and we don’t see them sometimes,” Emberdawn shrugged. “How long do you want to stay?”
“AHEM,” Dappy butted in. “IM STILL WAITING FOR MY COFFEE.”
Emberdawn frowned again. “And what did I just say?”
“Sometimes comments don’t get modded. But Ive still been waiting for I think 2 months now and have made 4-5 comments asking for my coffee.”
“No, I said sometimes comments get modded and we don’t see them.” She made the cup of coffee anyway. “And I meant “be polite”.”
“Well thank you for the coffee.”They handed the bartender 45 pixels and did a backflip into the abyss behind them and disappeared until the next time they were needed.
“Uh, can I have a room for a week please?” Sunny sips her cherryade again.
Lion opened the door, letting in a whirl of doomed snowflakes. She quickly shut it behind her, wrapping her coat tighter around her. “Ooh, brrr, its chilly out there.” She went straight to a beanbag and got out her coffee cup before watching the unfolding events in front of her, confused as to where phoenix came into it all – but then, this was the Hazelpage.
Sweets waved at Lion
Owly suddenly turned away from the people she was talking to and stomped over to the bar and screeched “HOT CHOCOLATE PLEEEEEZZZZ”
Emberdawn frowned. “Be polite,” she chided. “Not everyone will give you what you want if you yell in their faces.”
Owly drooped in shame her head and whispered, “but i said pleez”
“But you also screeched in my face,” she pointed out, making the cup of hot chocolate. “Here, but please remember that us staff have to deal with a multitude of shenanigans on a daily basis. A little courtesy is a nice relief amongst the chaos.”
Blackie walked over to the counter. “Embix, I’m checking out of my room,” he said while tossing the key over and walked away to sit next to where Owly was sitting.
Pine caught the key just before it hit the counter, then ran towards the rooms screaming “IVE GOT THE KEY!”
*runs after Pine* THE KEY!! :OOO
Sweets jumps up “I WANT THE KEY!!!”
Blackie jumped out of his hiding space on to Pine. He growled at him and tried to snatch the key back but he was no match for a full grown cat and tumbled down on the floor.
Holly calmly sat down and started murdering some spiders. “MWAHA!!”
NUUUUUU!!! *saves spiders frantically*
“THEY MUST DIE!!!” Hollykit yowled, setting half of them on fire and cackling.
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Pebble yelps, extinguishing the fire. THE INNOCENT SPIDERZZ!!!
NOOOOOO THEY ARE CUTE WITLE INICENT SPIDIZZZ! !!!!
YES SAVE THEM!!!!! THEY ARE CRUCIAL TO NATURE!!
Snowy came back from the outside world with 7 mice to sell.
“ONE FOR 3 PIXELS!”
Comment down below if you want one
I’d like one! 😀
Here ya go!
Thanks! (secretly smuggles mouse as pet)
Blackkit stopped chasing pine and started jumping around. I WANT OONNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Hello, hello everyone! 😀 😛
Can I have a room? 😃
“Sure!” Emberdawn rummaged behind the counter and gave Pebble a room key.
Thanks Embix!
Hello! I would like all of the meat you have in here, please!
Emberdawn raised an eyebrow. “That’s a lot of meat you’re talking about.”
I know, I have a huge appetite!
“Do you know how much all that meat would cost?”
About… 99,873,726 pixels
Here! *hands pixels*
Oops, now the place is covered in pixels
Emberdawn shrugged, somehow managing to scoop all the pixels into the cash register. She jerked a finger at the storerooms. “Go wild, I guess.”
😛
OM NOM NOM NOM Jrhwz1juiKJNHBGYJUIKJHBYGRCUHJWGYUIEKHBD NOM NOM NOOM
The storerooms were now empty
Thank you very much! Have a nice night!
“YO DONT FORGET ABOUT THE FLOOR CHICKEN TENDIES!”
“CHICKIN TENDIES!!” Blackie yelled as he launched himself on a pile, gobbling them whole.
Thistle enters the Ember den . The whole den goes quiet around her . She walks to the bar ” I would like a nice iced coke please ” she says
Emberdawn gave Thistle a cryptic smile. “This is not the Ember Den,” she says, handing her the drink.
Thistle face palms ” rip i forgot what den this was ” she takes the coke and gets out the money to pay for the drink ” how much ” she asks
“12 pixels,” she said. “And technically this isn’t a Den. It’s the Hazelpage.”
