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.
“ alright Buddy, it’s tume to leave.” *yeets Buddy out* *yeets Mischief and Shadow in* My cat, Mischief, continues to purr and snuggle everyone, secretly looking for a hole in the ceiling to climb into. I’m on to you MISCHIEF! shadow, her bro, then hisses and scrambles into a hide-y hole, claiming it for himself. Buddy barks at the window, demanding to be let in to play with the cats, and Shadow tries to scratch him through the glass. 🙃😸
“SO ADORABLE!!!” Peb hugs both cats.
Shadow comes over. “OH MY GOODNESS SO PRECIOUS” she comes up and hugs them (along with Peb lol). “Oh lOoK this cAt hAs thE sAmE nAme as mE”
Moon lashes his tail from behind her. “oKaY, oKaYY, just let me-”
Moon meows angrily. Shadow immediately stopped. “yOuR jEaLoUsY iS sO cUtE!” and squeezes her cat. Moon growls and scratches her, telling her to stop.
Shadow frowned. “TYPICAL. HATES WHEN I GIVE ATTENTION TO OTHERS BUT CAN’T STAND WHEN I SQUEEZE HIM TO DEATH >:C”
Shadow(my cat) starts hissing and scratching Shadow (the BlogClanner) while Mischief sits there. Wow, my cat is the most tolerant cat I’ve ever met! *starts singing Newsies again*
“SANTA FEEEEEEE ARE YOU THEEEEEEERE”
I think we need a new song….MWUAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
*evil grins*
BABY SHARK DO DO D-*gets slapped*
Shadow continued. “DOO DOOO DOO DOO BABY SHARK DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO-” *also gets slapped*
Peb guzzles her banana bubble tea, savoring it and it’s gummy balls.
I’veneverhadthisinreallifesoI’mgoingoffwhatI’veheard“Delicious,” she says. :3 “BesT tHinG I’Ve EveR tAsTeD.”
can i order 3 strawberry bubble teas, an apple crumble and 5 custard cream cookies please” says blackie as he walks up to the counter
“Sure! That’ll be 15 dollars, please!”
cool! says blackie. he gets 15 dollars from his wallet and slaps it on the counter. “Baiiiiii,” he says, taking the food and leaving
Peo scribbles something together in her sketchbook. She shows it to the nearest person/cat. “CaN You tell wHat this mEsS oF scriBbles is?????!?! I cAn’T.”
She squints at it.
“Let’s call it a cow.”
She waits for someone to come and point out that it looks more like a seahorse.
“It looks more like a seahorse not a cow,” Ivyleaf points down, sitting down with her mug of hot cocoa she snuck from the kitchen without Embix knowing.
yeah I’m a criminal 😛“Bold of you to assume that I don’t know about theft,” Emberdawn said and pointed at Ivyleaf. “Pay up!”
‘Ahh,’ Ivyleaf says. hmm maybe I should make this hard she thinks.
‘Fine, fine,’ Ivyleaf finally gives in and rethinks her decision. ‘How much, Embix?’
“2 dollars!”
‘Okay!’ Ivyleaf hands it over, smiling innocently. I wouldn’t want to get on the bad side of Embix…but I do wonder what it would be like… Wait, can she read my mind right now?
“Well, what do you think?” Emberdawn said cryptically, taking the money.
Uh oh…Looks like she can read my mind!! Ivyleaf thinks then says. ‘I’d guess that’d be…well…not very good
bad.’actually I’m laughing rn‘Hey, Embix, can I have a room please? How much?’ Ivyleaf says. so that I can hide
“I think it was 2 dollars night. Maybe. Not sure. Let’s just say it was 2 dollars a night.”
‘Okay dokie!’ Ivyleaf hands over the money cheerfully.
“Ivyla, don’t. Trust me.”
‘Warning heeded! Shadow, did you also get into trouble with the deputy?’ Ivyleaf asks.
“um just look at all the previous pages you’ll get a good idea”
“Do I have to pay again?” Peb peers over her sketchbook.
EDIT: wait I read that as ‘both of you’ at first lol 😛
Well the question still stands.
Tes.
Peb hands Embix a large bunch of cash from somewhere mysterious. “I’ll take that as yes! Here it is.”
this reminds me of navy’s siggie
bold of you to assume i’m navy“It’S a CoW,” states Peb. She flips the page and scribbles with a purple pencil next.
Tree leans back in that rocking chair by the fire, reading what appears to be Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow.
“Embix,” Moky shouts, “I need bubble tea! Take the 30 dollars! Keep the change! Give me bubble tea!”
Emberdawn frowned. “Please ask nicely next time and don’t yell in my face,” she said, handing over the drink.
“Sorry,” Moky signed, “I won’t do it again, I just really wanted the bubble tea!”
Sandy asks, “How much is a fanta?”
“A dollar!”
Pine suddenly appears and looms over Embix. “Excuse me, but why is a bubble tea more expensive than a Fanta? Boba is clearly superior.”
“Because Fanta is a mass-produced soft drink and bubble tea is made in-house with fresh ingredients.”
“Aright Mischief and Shadow (my cat not the BlogClanner) out!” *yeets* Buddy’s probably having the time of his life now… sorry in advance for your ears everyone! *yeets Zee in* “This is Zee, my very loud bird!” I shout over her squawks.
“Either train your bird to be quieter or you’ll have to take her outside!”
Peb is in love.
“I LUV BIRDS.” She scratches Zee’s chin gently, cooing.
oh no “ says blackie “my friend shadow hates birds.” (my irl friend not shadow,,,,, like the new one)
“why are there suddenly so many shadows?”
oh gosh i know 3 shadows. clo, my irl friend and shadow the one that i’m replying to
Eagie sits down at a table and does her maths homework because that is probably what she should actually be doing.
*glances at homework* i feel attacked
Well, for something so miserable at least doing it in the Hazelpage could help, Peb thinks.
Next she runs off to check out upstairs and maybe get some quiet.
shadow looks at her homework. “y u attacc me”
“Ah,” Flamecloud says, “Well done, apprentice.” She shoots a guilty glance up at her room, where her own homework lies unfinished.
blackpaw decides to eat his food by the fire. he walks over to the fire, somehow carrying 5 strawberry bubble teas, an apple crumble, and 5 custard cream cookies. he puts his food down (somehow 😛 ) on a table, and starts to eat.
Peo (IKKK) watches him, sipping her own banana bubble tea, drawing seriously this time. She sat on the recliner with a blanket near the warm fire.
“Well, that looks good. You’re going to have a sugar rush later, eh?”
Tree gets up from where he had been reading and heads to the counter. “Can I have…” He pauses and looks at his list in his (hand? Paw?) “One apple crumble , 5 custard creams, a chocolate milk, and as many slices of peach berry mousse cake (I guess you can learn where I live from this but I’m too hungry to care at the moment please don’t try ;-;) as humanly possible?”
Periiiiwinkllleeee Hazelpage
I like :3
*yeets Zee out* “your welcome everyone” what’s better waffles or pancakes??????? This is possibly the hardest question ever.
‘Uhhh…’ Ivyleaf thinks. ‘Waffles!’
“PaNcAkEs!” Peb yells out.
“Pancakes!”, Eagie mews, especially when they have chocolate on them, she thinks.
Totally not mind reading again, Peb accidentally yowls out, “YES!”
“Pankcas” Flamecloud says.
Edit: Wha what why can’t I spell Pancakes? Pancake. Pancake. Pancake.
they’re pretty mush the same but I prefer pancakes Shadow thinks to her, still pondering how many mind readers appeared
I wonder! I thought it was just us.
exactly… this could be troublesome,, very troublesome indeed,,
uh oh she was making that scary smile again
Peo smirks maliciously.
“I have reached the conclusion that most Earthlings are very odd,” Flamecloud mews to no one in particular. “And maybe a little bit evil.”
fool. you assume me to be an earthling?
…
oh uhm yes of course i’,m an earthling you didn’t hear anything
Me too, Flamecloud thinks back with a knowing smile, it’s living on Earth just wonderful?
Wavey flung her hand in the air. “Can I get a large platter of waffles and pancakes?” she called out. “Let’s have a taste test!!”
Icy carried out a tray laden with waffles, pancakes, and various toppings. In a deadpan manner, she stole a pancake, dipped it in whipped cream, and proceeded to fold and eat it like a burrito. “I’ll put it on your tab.” She mumbled, walking back to the bar.
cOoKiEs!
“Waffles!” Spottedstream shouts, realizing how loud she was a second after. She sheepishly closes her mouth and looks around, to see if anyone’s looking at her.
