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.
[image description: a busy tavern lit by orange light]
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.
Peb ravenously gulps down a towering cheeseburger with a glass of chocolate milk. She sat by the fire.
This is the best! she thinks.
Welcome to the Hazelpage, where dreams come true
*evil smirk haths returned*
Evil grin creeps over Peb’s face after she swallows her bite.
Oh yes, this dream hath come true.
Hmm, thinks Flamecloud, let’s test something. She takes out two pretzel sticks, then slowly lifts them until they form a t shape. Then, she points the pretzels in the direction of the mind readers.
Peb glances at Flamecloud, very confused.
Are those for me to eat?
Well, that’s good, Flamecloud thinks when Peb looks confused.
Peb shrugs and continues mind reading.
I’ll have to find where she got those later.
uh Peb she thinks something’s gonna happen if she points pretzel sticks at us….
Well, the pretzelsticks in the shape of a cross didn’t do anything, thinks Flamecloud, that’s a good sign.
Oh no… Peb looks nervous. Are they wands in disguise?
(i’m gonna continue this from the page before coz i want to 😛 )
you will not underestimate my power!, >:) blackie glares at
peopeb, his eyes giving her a piercing evil look moohahahahwhahahhahahahahahahahahahaha >:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDMoon randomly starts glancing between Peo and Blackie, and magicaly learns how to read minds. should I be making an evil grin? How did anyone misspell Peb’s name as Peo? O and B are like across the keyboard from each other. Why does my dog’s crate have two doors? Why am I still typing? Why can’t I think of anything good for my fanfic? I should have mercy on the other mind readers and stop thinking now. You know, people haven’t been singing enough lately….*evil grin* *gets pre-slapped* “Chill! I’m not gunna sing Baby Shark!” *evil grins even more* *gets mistaken for the Grinch and the Cheshire Cat* “LET IT GO, LET IT GOOOO! CANT HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOORE! LET IT GO, LET IT GOOOOO! TURN AWAY AND SLAAAM THE DOOOOR!”
Peo is a big autocorrect slip-up, Peb thinks to Moonleap, not takin her eyes off of Blackie.
Peo– PEN–PEEEBBB (ahem) puts the biggest, creepiest grin on her face, her snag tooth glinting in the dim light. She brushes her hair aside so both her flaming fiery eyes show and can give him the Staredown.
“Ready to begin?” she says smoothly, still grinning broadly and creepily.
I’m so confused, but this is amazing, so keep going!
oh I willlll >:3Ya know what? i’ll just join in cuz i got nothin’ else better to do.
Fawny snorts and says, “Watch out, I haven’t even used 0.5% of my power yet.”
Shadow laughs maniacally. “I haven’t even used 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it yet. Just wait what lies in store for you, foolish creature.”
I was under the impression that Earthlings were boring and normal, thinks Flamecloud in wonder.
*inaudible gasps of accusation as rainie reads flame’s mind with her unearthly superpowers*
Flamecloud glances uneasily over at Rainie. Can they all read minds, she wonders, this could cause problems. WELL THEN I MUST BE THE ONLY NORMAL EARTHLING she thinks as loud as she can.
rainie’s suspicioun disappears. welp, she’s an earthling. let us find a different subject on this planet to study
have fun fellow non-earthling rainie
*Spirit looks over at Flame wondering* aren’t you an Earthling?
“Y-yes, of course,” Flamecloud stammers, looking alarmed, “Why wouldn’t I be?” She rubs a paw over her face, then glances uneasily around the room. How many mind readers are there? Flamecloud wonders.
yes, more than i thought. this isn’t good….
better not dare try and challenge me you inferior beings she thinks very clearly while glancing at the other mind readers with and evil look on her face
Peb smirks.
Spirit looks nervously around don’t worry! I won’t!
I haven’t used 000000. 000000000000000000000000000000000000. 000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.%
of mine yet >:3
Well, thinks Flamecloud, all you Earthlings can’t even comprehend my power. I could crush you all easily. But that would blow my cover.She pauses. Oops. They can read minds. I mean, if I had power, which I don’t, it might blow up my trash can cover. Which would be sad. I love my trash can cover. She picks up The Red Scrolls of Magic and begins to read.
are you calling me an earthling, inferior being? and ha you just blew your cover Shadow stares Flamecloud dead in the eyes oh no they were glowing again. my power is unimaginable. i’d have dared use all of it, Embix would have me out of here. i could completely obliterate her if i wanted, but my current decision is to preserve this glory of a page where i am allowed to use even 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of my power. so stop trying to compete with the master,, you foolish mortals
“Calm down,” Emberdawn says simply from behind the counter. “I will not have obliteration of other patrons of this tavern here. If you continue this behaviour, you’ll have to take it outside.”
Shadow blinks at her. okay embix how many mind readers are in here tho
and no, that’s exactly why i choose not to use my power- this place is fine as it is 😉
“I’m one of the staff members, of course, I can hear everything that’s going on.” The bartender looked up from cleaning a glass, a thinly-veiled threat in her gaze. “I do expect that our patrons respect this building that provides them shelter from the code outside. Otherwise, they can find shelter and food elsewhere, but I can’t imagine that there’s another safe establishment close-by.” A smile settled on her face, but it seemed to lack some warmth to it. “All the more reason to respect common courtesy, right?”
“yes, of course Embix, exactly why I CHOOSE to respect this building and NOT destroy it, sorry if I was a little UNCLEAR there” Shadow smiled back, unfazed. although, it seemed a little uncomfortable and forced.
Emberdawn’s smile widened. “Good! And remember-” Her movements stilled and the room temperature felt like it had dropped by a few degrees. “No matter how powerful our patrons are, the staff here are in control of the situation.” Having said her piece, the bartender went back to cleaning glasses as if she hadn’t just threatened eviction to everyone in the room just then.
“Hear, hear!” Icy said halfheartedly, stretched out on the bar with her dress bunched around her legs. “I’ll kick all you lot out if you interrupt my nap.”
“i- uh. sorry you guys i triggered her to say that we must all live in fear now” shadow yeeted as far away from embix as possible.
(embix why are most of my conversations with you getting in trouble at the hazelpage this is just sad lol)
“Oh no! We are interrupting Icy’s sleep! We must lockdown the cafe!!!!!” Moky cried
Flamecloud raises an eyebrow, gazing back at Shadow. I am here to observe and study, not fight for power. Who knows who would win if we went toe to toe, but I am content with that remaining a mystery, she thinks, flipping the page contently.
>:33333
were on to you PEO
:{
“What haas happened to our cookie-eating contest?” Peb laughs. “Blackie we shall continue?”
“Maybe we shouldn’t, y’know so you don’t kill yourself before Veil of Shadows comes out, coz that would be a real shame.” said Spirit.
“How dare you underestimate my power!” says Peb. ( 😛 )
“I don’t mean to underestimate your power, but I just don’t want to clean up your body………but it would be cool to touch a dead person…………..hmmmmmmm” Spirit said then looked away distracted.
Peb blinks.
At first she doesn’t know what to say.
“Well, if anything, I’d kill him 😛 ,” she says with a laugh.
readyyyyy >:)))) blackie prepares for his first move
“You go first,” Peb offers, grinning maliciously.
ah frick idk what to do help I’m battling with a mind-reader” thinks blackie. Not thinking he leaps at peb, claws extended. “Hopefully I won’t get a detention from embix for this” he thinks
Emberdawn raised her hand, making Blackpaw freeze in midair. “Claws sheathed! There will be no excessive violence in this establishment!” She called. “I’ll let you go when you retract them.”
“Since when are you magic, O Mighty One?” Icy grumbled from her spot on the bartop.
“Since always and you are too, O Nappy One.”
“Whaaaaat? That’s so cool.” Icy chimed as she charmed a cappuccino to float her way. “Wicked.”
“Wow,” Flamecloud mews, staring at the frozen Blackie in wonder. “Also, I thought you two were just going to eat cookies?”
Icy shrugged, sipping on her cappuccino. “Beats me.”
“Wow, can I do that?” Pine experimentally snapped, causing one tapioca pearl to appear in her hand. “Hmm. Not bad.”
Moky stared in awe, “Look at the flying cat,”
ah fudge cake” says blackie while trying to escape embix’s grasp. he turns his head to look at her, and unsheathes his claws. “can we do this claws sheathed then?” he asked, still dangling
“Considering that I think Pebble already walked away, no.” Emberdawn gently let Blackpaw down to the floor and let him go from the frozen position.
oh ok.” says blackie. he scampers away to a couch, and sits by the fire.
Pebblepaw watches the whole thing, unamused and definitely not surprised he tried to pull that off.
“Thanks Embix,” she says.
“Well, folks,” Flamecloud mews, trying not to act suspicious, “I shall, uh, retire to my room to make a quick…phone call.” this mind reading business could prove troublesome for our plans, she thinks as she walks away.
Wavey watched Flamecloud leave suspiciously. “Hmmm… very suspicious…” she murmured suspiciously quietly to herself.
bad time to think that, Flame, Shadow thought to her. but you’re not wrong- this mind-reading is getting out of hand. i’m going to be nice and not ask what plans because legit everyone here is clearly suspicious and hiding something other than the actually sane people (there’s only like 2 or 3 at this point)
oop forgot italics there
I am hiding nothing I am hiding nothing I am hiding nothing Flamecloud thinks innocently.
okay Flame you really don’t have to do that i’m not going to ask you anything my dude
legit everyone here is suspicous,, Shadow thinks to her.
Good, she thinks.
“I have returned,” she mews, thinking very hard about Wild Kratts, “Did y’all miss me?” Wild Kratts Wild Kratts Wild Kratts she thinks.
“Heeiii,” Peb greets Flamecloud. “WiLd KrAtTs!”
“Which of the Tortuga crew is your favorite?” Flamecloud inquires.
Hm… I like Jimmy 😛 Koki is cool too!
Chris and Jimmy have always been my favorites, but honestly I love them all 🙂 And Zack, I like him too. They’ve added a new villian, though, and I don’t like her.
“How much does it cost for a bottle of bubble tea?’ Moky asks
“3 dollars!”
*hands Embix three dollars*
YES THE BUBBLE TEAS ARE MINE!
MWHAHAHAHH
“3 dollars only pays for one, though!” Emberdawn winked at Monkey.
“I bet if you wanted all of them you would be paying 300,” says Peb good-humoredly.
Heheh” Moky laughed
Pebblepaw gets out three dollars. “Can I buy a banana bubble tea?” she asks.
“Sure!” Emberdawn quickly made the drink for Pebble and handed it over, taking the money in exchange.
“Thank you!”
“Oh no!” Moky cried somewhere, “Peb has taken some of the bubble tea!”
Peb looked around, wondering where he was.
“Oh, so could I get the whole box of cooked tapioca? Just the tapioca, though,” Pine said, sliding over a very large leather suitcase filled with cash. “The suitcase itself was three thousand, just so you know.”
Sandy sits at a table re-reading the Silent Thaw.
“Oooh fun, I’m still reading it for the first time.”
“I just finished it like 10 minutes ago”, mews Eagie, “I want to know what happens next!”
Sandy nods. “I wonder who the impostor is!”
“I don’t know but I really want to find out!”, says Eagie.
The whole reason I found BlogClan was through wanting spoilers for Squirrelflight’s hope, she thought.
soooo what are you guys’ favorite archs? Mines OOTS prob cause weirdly that’s where I started. Flame is looking veeeeeery suspicious…. or perhaps they just want to watch Wild Krats. *delves deeper into the earthling’s mind* *puts on Wild Krats* *randomly starts singing more Newsies songs*
“A pair ‘a new shoes with matching laces, A permanent box at Sheepshead races, a porcelain tub with boilin’ water”
Mine are Power Of Three and A Vision Of Shadows, thinks Peb.
And oh no.
hOw dArE yOu NoT LiKe oOtzzzzzzz “ blackie smashes peb’s head with a book (preferably a hefty dictionary )
Flamecloud dives in, deflecting the blow with her trash can lid
“Thank you!!!!!” Peb exclaims, very relieved and grateful for Flamecloud.
She rounds on Blackie, now getting angry. “I did not SAY I didn’t like it! AnD dOn’T tRy tO hIt Me WiTh A bOoK fOr It.”
“This thing is really coming in handy,” Flamecloud says, dusting off the trash can lid.
Peb smiles at her. “Oi, it is!”
blackie tries to smack peb with a book again
Peb blocks it easily with a karate block with her arm, rolling her eyes before walking away.
wow i must learn karate
Flamecloud deflects it with the trash can lid again.
“Well, that works too,” she mews as Peb walks away.
But thank you to you and your trashcan lid, Peb thinks to fellow mind reader Flamecloud. This type of communication is very useful.
“Also,” Flamecloud says, “Rather problematic at times.”
hmmmmmmm, that wouldn’t happen to be the trash can lid you didn’t want to blow, or was that your cover, ALIEN! Spirit thought hardly towards Flamecloud
Peb shrugs. “Who cares? She just saved me a minor headache with it.”
i guess
“Alien: belonging to a foreign country or nation,” Flamecloud says, “No need to make it sound so accusing and hostile. We Earthlings should be welcoming to everyone, no matter what galaxy, planet, or country they are from.” She returns to cleaning her trash clan lid.
“or planet”
“Yes, I suppose so,” Flamecloud agrees with a nod.
My favourite arch is The New Prophecy, and it was also where I started reading warriors! says Eagie, suddenly having mind reading powers.
“WILD KRATTS?” Flamecloud yelps, clapping her paws together. “Also, I like Power of the Three & the Fourth Apprentice (Whatever that arch is called)”
“Omen of the Stars?” Pebblepaw offers.
(So tHaT’S whAT OOTS is 😛 I couldn’t figure out which arch, mainly because I didn’t feel like getting up to check out my bookshelf 😛 )
“My mind has been blown” Flamecloud gaps.
*I meant gasps*
I like TBC, PoT and AVoS, thinks Sandy.
Mine is the Omen of the Stars and the Broken Code thinks Ivyleaf who have also learned the art of reading minds. Nooice!
im here to pay my rent ^^
*hands over 30$ to ember*
Emberdawn paused in her duties to take the money. “Thank you!”
Peb hangs out by the fire, just sitting there and not doing anything, deep in thought.
She decided to go grab some stew. She came back a moment later with a steaming bowl of beef stew.
It has GREEN BEANS!
She was drooling.
“I love green beans…” she starts eating.
Shadow comes and stands behind her. hello, i’m here to interrupt your deep train of thought mwahahah
I am not thinking about anything more than food now, thinks Peb as she takes another bite.
let’s not lie that’s probably the deepest thought any of us could have
also you’re making me hungry :c
I can go get you a burger tooooo, Pebblepaw offers in her mInD.
Sandy sits with Peb and says, “What’s up?”
“The ceiling,” Peb replies with one of her very bad jokes.
Flamecloud takes out a large sheet of tin foil, and begins to do origami with it. She makes three tin foil ducks, and then a little hat, which she places between her ears. Flamecloud then pulls out her chrombook and types up a bit of her story.
:ooo says blackie.”can i have a tin foil origami hat plsssss :ooo” he asks
“Sure,” Flamecloud mews, ripping off another strip of tin foil and folding it into a hat. She hands the hat to Blackie. “There ya go.”
thanks 😀
“Oohh.” Peb watches with interest.
“Would you like one?”Flamecloud mews, focused on the half made duck in her paws, “I only know how to make ducks and hats.”
“Can I have a cute duck?” Peb asks.
“Yep!” Flamecloud mews, handing Peb one of the ducks.
“Can I make a star box and a crane? (the bird type)”
“Sure!” Flamecloud says, handing a sheet of tin foil to Eagie.
Eagie sits cross legged on the floor and starts doing origami.
(I’m so unsure about being a cat or a human let’s just assume I’m a child in a cat onesie)
Moon yeets her dog Luna huh we have the same name doggo..that wasn’t intentional at all.. on her lap cause why not. *realizes Luna hates people who aren’t hers* Moon yeets Luna out Luna just raised her head and looked at me all sad IRL…is she a mind reader to?!!?!? Moon yeets Buddy, the doggo who loves everyone, in. Buddy continues to jump, bark, pant, wag his tail, and demand treats with his cute little face then drops down on a comfy chair to take a nap cause he’s old🙃.
“SO CUTE!” shrieks Peb, dropping to her knees to pet the adorable doggo. “WhO’s A gOoD pUpPy? YoU’rE a GoOd PupPy!!” She scratches his ears and lets him lick her purple nose and the rest of her silver-furred face.
Moky’s mind is blown…
Peb peers at Moky.
“Did something happen?”
“Haha no,” Moky laughed playfully
Peb laughs too.
Sandy facepaws herself because she’s procrastinating and meant to be judging her games rn.
“Hi Sandy!” greets Peb as she passes. “You can do it!!”
Blossy wakes up from here really long nap and walks down the stairs. She hands the key back to Embix and asks, “Can I get a strawberry italian soda?” she waits on the stool patiently.
“Sure!” Emberdawn took the key and quickly got the drink for her. “2 dollars, please!”
Blossy gives Embix the 2 bucks plus 5,000 dollars in tip because they are great bartender
