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.
Plume opened the door and entered the Tavern once again, leaving her coat, AdBlock Shield and Cryptocurrency Miner-repelling vest on the coatrack by the door.
The fluffy grey-brown-and-white tabby walked up to the counter to rent out her stay at the Inn.
“Hello there! Could you tell me how much (in Pixels) I need to pay for 100 nights, please? I’ve seemed to forget how much they are, sorry,” the She-cat asked before laughing awkwardly at the end.
“Oh, we hardly remember it as well! I’d say it’s about 400 pixels for 100 nights, which would be $200 USD if you decide to pay that way!”
“Thanks!” Plume replied while rumaging through her backpack for her coin purse before finding it and paying 400px in full.
“Another question: do you take anything other than Pixels or US Dollars? Things like the British Pound Sterling, Pokébucks or Beenz, for example? If not, don’t worry as I know of a currency converter machine nearby.”
While travelling the Internet and the wider digital realm, Plume has collected coins and currency from different places (and times,) from Animal Crossing Bells to wooden horses from Sweden, mostly as souvenirs.
“Real-world money works fine, so long as you know the conversion rates!” Emberdawn replied. “As a general rule of thumb, though, we don’t accept other currency aside from that and pixels.”
Shadow frowns. “so no Pokédollars? that’s all I have, though…” She turned to Plume. “so where is that money converter machine?”
“Just outside the Web-Mart store opposite here,” Plume answered.
“screw it i’ll go later”
Sandy started to type chapter 2 of her fanfiction.
Peb was quiet so that Sandy could write. She got out her own laptop and continued editing Saga’s novel.
Flamecloud also pulls out her chromebook and works on her story as well.
Shadow looked at Sandy. Then she glanced at her 19827632094612837 something fanfics she was procrastinating.
hmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMM
“nah” she decided as she proceeded to do nonsense.
“Ooh are you going to put it on the fanfic page?!”, asked Aquila, Or have you already done so and I just never check it so I don’t know?
blackie gets bored. it’s to silent for him. “AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” he shouts for no reason. then he decides to sing to the pokémon song.
“I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST THAT NO ONE EVER WAZZZZ!
CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST!
TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE!
I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE LAND, SEARCHING FAR AND WIDE!
IT’S POKEMON TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER THAT’S INSIDDDDEEEE!”
he gets ready to say the word pokémon and hopefully did the coding right
‘POK-E-MON!’ Ivyleaf joins in. ‘too bad I only know a little of this song… ‘ she ponders.
“GOTTA CATCH EM AAAALLLL

I KNOW IT’S MY DESTINYYY
POKEMON!

THESE ARE GOOD VIBES

“POOOKKEEEEEEEEEMOOOOOOOOOOON**” Shadow interrupted. “not ALL DAY LONG”
“GOTTA CATCH EM ALLLLLLL” She echoed.
GOTTTA CATCH EM ALLLL
YEAAAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Plume realised that she hasn’t had a drink in a while because it took her a while to get to the Inn.
“Excuse me, but do you have some decaf Java coffee and caramelised cookies, please? I don’t mean internet cookies, by the way,” the tabby She-cat joked awkwardly to the Bartender.
Icy slid a mug and plate across the counter, smirking. “Funny. Enjoy!”
“Thank you very much!” Plume caught the plate and mug in her paws before taking her journal and pen out of her backpack to write an entry about her journey to the Hazelpage and how she got there.
Why am I watching TikTok compilations on YouTube? Someone explain Moona thought.
“Hm,” said Peb. Yes. She is mind reading youuuuuuuuuuu——
ahem.
I don’t know what that is so I can’t explain but it exits.
She goes and does her workout.
“yes” shadow said.
I’m wird :3 (weird)
me too
*proceeds to do her daily activities that literally everyone considers weird for some reason*
“I’m the weirdest!”, yowls Aquila coming to join Peb and Shadow.
Peb wonders if she should burp the ABC’s to prove how weird she is.
Ok, you win! Aquila conceded, I can’t do that!
oh my god YES! please burp the abcs i wish too see
“OKAY,” Peb says, pleased.
*burpAburp*
*burpBburp*
*burpCburp*
*demonstrates the rest until Z*
oooOOOOOOOOOHHHhhhhh teach me
teach me!!” blackie is now in the state of needing to learn the abcs and only cookies can calm him down
Peb throws some cookies for Blackie to catch from don’t-ask and then launches into burping ABC classes in her mind. Hmmm how do I explain this?
“Can I join the class?”, asks Aquila
“YES!”
“Yayyy!!!”
blackie rapidly eats the cookies. “YUUUUM YUUUM!” Blackie says
blackie asks where peb got the cookies from
I put mayo on hot dogs, burgers, grilled cheese and deli subs
For some reason my friends think it’s so weird but like mayo goes with meat and cheese also deli subs are what ur supposed to put mayo on but at my school, the general consensus is that mayo is weird and disgusting, no matter what, it’s my favorite condiment!
That sounds good, actually 😛
“I put mayo on halloumi burgers!”, yowled Aquila, “Honestly, it tastes amazing!”
MAYO
MAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
“If you think that’s weird, I’ve tried sour cream on hot dogs before.”
“Next thing on my list to try.”
“Me too” Flamecloud mews.
“Is this a weirdness contest? I’m in!” Spirit says looking up from writing her fan-fic collab.
“I have memorized the color genomes of cats, dogs, horses, and a bit o rabbits,” Flamecloud says, grinning.
“That is….. insanely cool.”
“No!” Flamecloud mews, looking horrified, “It’s weird! Not cool! WEIRD!” She pauses for a moment, then adds, “And annoying for my real life friends because I’m always trying to talk about it and none of them want to listen 😛 “
“YES!” says Peb. “What ya got? I can burp the ABCs, I poke my sister at random times, and I enjoy toilet humor, and grin when I fart. I’m not sorry. U??”
“I watch people on YouTube use incredible grammar correctly and create historic dresses!”
“OOOoH I want to see a historic dress.”
“Here’s a link to the channel!” Moona handed Peb a link.
dresses
“Thanks!” says Peb. She takes the link and then tries it. “Huh, it doesn’t work for some reason!”

“You can tell my mood by the song that is stuck in my head.” said Spirit (OMG this is so late!)
“and I change my handwriting bi-weekly”
WILL THIS MAKE A NEW PAGE???
Of course not 😛
*Apparates* “Hello I’m here to revive.”
“Hello”
i went back to the first page of the hazelpage and the first comment was this
Pool Of Maple That Flows Out Of Tree (Maplekit/Maplepool)
September 7, 2016 at 12:45 pm
YAY HAZELPAGE IS HERE OMG OMG OMG OGM OMG TANK WOU DADDDDDDDDDDDY HAZELLLLLLLBURRITO
I THINK I SAW THAT COMMENT
WAIT DADDY
Daddy?! 😂
😂
GASP
I went there just now and read through the comments!
Peb was there too on the 12th.
I wonder if some future person with read this whilst stalking this page. If so then hi! 👋
I remember Maplepool and her ‘Life In Blogclan’ Fan Fiction Series. 😛
Spirit walks in as calmly as she can….then calls to anyone listening, “I SAW THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! WHO ELSE DID AND CAN TALK TO ME ABOUT IT BECAUSE NONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SEEN IT OR ARE GOING TO SEE IT AND WON’T ACCEPT SPOILERS!!!!! HELP ME I’M BURSTING AT THE SEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I haven’t watched it!” mews Aquila, “in fact one of my classmates got really mad because I thought Jedi was a character.”
“Apparently it’s a title”, she added.
“Oh my,” Flamecloud mews, shaking her head.
“I’M SORRY I HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET,” Peb calls over. “HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE. BUT I’M PLANNING TO WATCH MORE STAR WARS ON NEW YEARS EVE WITH MY FAMILY BC IT’S KINDA TRADITION FROM LAST YEAR.”
Shadow sighs as yet another thing she has to catch up on enters her mind.
I saw it and I do t know how to feel, how will the force stay balanced when the person died and the other person lived?
Plume sits down quietly on a bar stool and takes out a notebook and pen before murmuring “I wonder if anyone is learning German here,” as she thinks about learning the language in the New Year; she didn’t realise that she said it out loud until after she did so.
“Me!”, yowls Aquila walking up to Plume, “I can teach you if you want, what would you like to learn?”
(I can only do basics as I only started it in September as my second MFL after french)
“Sure! Um.. how about some basic phrases, please?” Plume answered, politely nodding to Aquila.
“Ok!
My name is= Ich heiße
Ja=yes
Nein=no
Es ist= it is
Und= and
Weil=because
Ich bin=I am
Ich habe=I have
Katze=cat
Ein(e)=one (so like I have one cat would be Ich habe eine Katze)
Wie heißt du= What’s your name
That’s all I can think of, off the top of my head but if you have a particular phrase, then just ask!
Oh and when you use ‘weil’ next to ‘es ist’ to say ‘because it is’ Weil pushes the ‘ist’ to the back of the sentence.” Aquila mewed, leaning on a nearby table.
“Nah. I used to be learning Japanese but it’s been a while.”
“Watashi wa neko-chan”, declared Aquila
(I am cat)
I caught ‘neko’ 😉
“Cat! that is the most important word in that sentence😛”, smiled Aquila.
“Yep!”
My kinda terrible Japanese: (I’m learning it, okay?)
Kon’nichiwa! Watashi no namae wa Seti-desu.
(Hello! My name is Seti!)
“I know some Irish Gaelic and a tiny bit of Japanese? Dia dueit! Is cat me! Tá an cailín (mé) ag ithe. Translation: Hello! I am a cat! The girl (me) is eating. That was Irish, this ones Japanese: こんにちは! Pronunciation: Kon’nichiwa! Translation: Hello! (That’s literally all I know in Japanese🙃)
*picks up watercolor paintbrush*
*looks at paper*
*goes crazy*
*walks over, looking at the beautiful mess Peb has created* that looks like my drawings when i’m actually trying
“Here!” Peo shoves a paintbrush at Shadow. “I have more paper! Wanna jOin MeH?”
“let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOO” Shadow took a paper, put it down, messed with it so it was in the perfect orientation, and then yeeted the paint everywhere.
Wren magically appeared from the shadows in a trench coat and hat. She sat down in a corner and pulled out a pair of headphones. She put the music on and started to cry inside. After a while she just stood up and started screaming for help.
“WRENCH HOW DARE YOU NOT USE YOUR PROPER NAME” Shadoof screamed at WRENCH. “AND WHAT ARE YOU SCREAMING ABOUT?” she said very hypocritically.
“OH I’M SORRY SHADOOF I’M JUST QUESTIONING MY LIFE AS A WRENCH,” Wrench screamed back while turning into a metal wrench. Then there was a pop and in her place was a wrench.
Moona glanced over after finishing a lemon muffin and gave the wrench a hug
The wrench didn’t respond, as it was a wrench and had no such abilities.
PeoPeb watches, amazed. Then she gets up and gives the wrench a pat on the wrench-y part where bolts fit, assuming it’s the head.The wrench did not respond, as it was still a wrench and had no such abilities.
“Is that reversible?” Flamecloud mews, mildly concerned, from her perch by the fireplace. “Or is Wren-Wrench, I mean, stuck as a non-sentient piece of metal for all of eternity?”
“uh oh” Shadoof said. “it’s cONTAGIOU-” Shadow-COUGH Shadoof was now a literal shadoof, an ancient pole in ancient Egypt. frick
shouldn’t have reminded wrench of her wrenchness
she mentally screamed, you are WRENPAW. you are WRENPAWWWWWWWWW
Aquila looked in confusion having missed recent events on this page.
Peb knocked on the wrench’s head. “WREN YOU ARE WRENPAW REVERSE EFFECT PLEASE WE WANT YOUR CAT/HUMANNESS BACK NOW.”
Flamecloud backs away, now quite concerned. “Aquila, be careful!” she warns her apprentice. No one had warned her about these odd diseases found on Earth.
“Ok,” Aquila mewed, standing next to her mentor.
“Achoo,” she sneezed, and didn’t transform.
“That’s disappointing”, she meowed.
Suddenly there was another pop and she was a human again. “Why the heck did you hug, and you pat, a wrench,” she exclaimed. Wrench looked to the side and saw a pole. “Oh.” She shrugged. “Oh well.”
Peb smiles. “So you heard and felt us even though you couldn’t respond. Fascinating. I wonder if I can turn into a pen.”
There was yet another pop as Shadoof turned back into a human. “I better remember not to do that again, or we’ll all become tools,” she grumbled. “and i’ll have to be an ancient pole again”
