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.
blackie sleeps smack in the middle of the couch. he’s to lazy to get a room. he wakes up when he smells cookies, and rushes off to the kitchen
Peo watches the reality of someone waking when they smelled cookies and decided Blackie really has a cookie obsession. She scoots off to get one.
Plume walked over to the bar table and tried to get the attention of the bartender.
“Ey! Could I perform a lil’ song ‘ere at the stage? I’ll give ya money if I need to!”, The fluffy tabby asks whoever is there.
“I’d like to hear a song!” Peo calls, crunching some delicious, melty chocolate chip cookie.
“WHERE DID YOU GET THE COOKIE?!” Spirit yells from a corner smelling cookies
“IN THE KITCHEN,” Peb yells back.
Moona looks up from her seat and claps, because In the world of Hazelpage cats can clap, sit in chairs, eat and drink like people, pretend to be earthlings communicate with just our minds, and sing beautifully.
“g0 a’ead m8”
“Alright! Here’s a lil’ song for y’all,” Plume calls out to the crowd from where she sits at the stage, strumming her guitalele (Ukulele-sized Guitar).
“Last night, I had a dream about you…”
Plume then goes on to perform an acoustic cover of “Digital Love” by Daft Punk.
(I don’t want to spam the entire lyrics for the song here)
Shadow claps.
Peo jumps up and applauds. “Bravo!” She throws a cupcake for Plume, as it’s the only thing she’s currently holding.
Dappy poofs into a corner and starts doing a high E flat to high F trill on their flute, Terry in the most obnoxious way possible.
“CAN I JOIN YOU?” Peo calls over.
“YES!” Dappy calls back, putting down Terry. And taking out Macarena, the ocarina.
Peo pulls her plastic blue flute from don’t-ask-where and starts playing the worst tune imaginable.
She dances something wonky to the sound of the new Duet Band, waggling her mega-tail.
Aquila brings her violin which has no name out and in her other paw grasps her cornet which is also nameless
Spiritshadows also brings out her violin
‘Oooh violins!!!’ yowls Aquila
shadow brings her recorder named recorder that she can’t play very well at all and screams into it
Dappy takes out a ukulele and screeches “ITS BAND TIME BOIZ!” They began to play an F chord to a C chord to a G7 chord to an A minor chord chord progression, waiting for everyone else to join in.
shadow takes recorder, mentioned above, and inhales, putting her mouth on the wrong end
“sssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”
Aquila picks up her violin and starts sliding from 1st position to 5th position, making a horrible sound
Flamecloud also takes out her violin and begins to play 1812 overture with limited success.
Moona pops up out of nowhere and starts playing Mission Impossible on their double bass because it’s the only good song their learning that’s not pizzicato because my poor finger
Lilaca is very interested in the band. Actually, she is very interested in crashing the band and starts recklessly blowing into her kazoo that sounds like crazy kids screaming.
Peo somehow duplicates herself. She goes upstairs and comes down as a clown.
“WHOOP WHOOP!” she says, tossing candy and looking weird. “I hAvE nO iDeA wHaT i’M dOinG!!!!!!!”
shadow takes that candy, spends a hot minute reading the ingredients, throws away 99% of it she can’t eat, and screams “wHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” while yeeting the one candy (with the wrapper) into her mouth
‘whoooppppwhoooooppppp’ screeches blackie. he eats all the candy
“Hey! I wanted candy!” yells Seti
Peo flings 964782342 pounds more of every imaginable candy all around the room, shouting, “I HAVE UNLIMITED SUPPLLLLYYYYYYYYYY.”
Seti catches a ton (as in 2,000 pounds) of candy and hires a truck to keep it in
Lilaca swoops in a captures all the candy using an empty house shell.
blackie finally returns from the kitchen, carrying a bundle of cookies. ‘eVeRyOnE lOoK cOoKiEs oOoOoOoOoOh’ he tosses a bunch to the nearest cat/person
Peo happens to be the nearest cat. She catches the cookies and soon becomes in something trance-like as she stares at the deliciousness in her paws.
blackie eats 10 cookies cause why not
Peb throws one of hers at Blackie for some random reason, maybe for him to eat. Then she flings the rest up in the air and somehow stretches her mouth so she catches them all hand-free.
Shadow grumbles, “don’t need to rub it in” as she sulks on the floor. Celiac’s fun ain’t it
Peo Conjures up a pile of cookies the size of a mini skyscraper for shadow with a snap of her fingers. The tower is topped with a bow and sways without even being touched, but despite so Peb grins. “ThErE! Wallow in the glory!!”
….
“Or just eat them.”
Lilaca teleports just in time to see a tower of cookies and grabs a candy cannon to knock it down.
Peo pulls out her cookie machine and bakes up another tower, grinning maniacally from the cookie rubble as it loomed even higher than the last. “muahuahuahuaaa!!!”
Seti gets out her violin and and start playing bad improv music
Moona gets out her double bass again and joins Seti in her music while begging for hoping currency because I’m melody-broke.
Like, the song where the bass gets the most time to shine of the songs I’m learning gives the bass 4 notes. Oof.
if I ever compose a song, I’m going to give the bass and cello all the melodies and give the violas and violins the harmony parts where they play the same rhythm for the whole song.
Shadow screams into Recorder.
Lilaca blows into her kazoo.
A-floopa doop doop !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I blow a kazoo
Then I give everyone money for damaged hearing
And I produce a tv out of thin air and start watching psych
Then I attempt to start singing the theme song
Key word is attempt
Peo blinks, watching all of this.
The only episodes I watch now are the ones with Yin and Yang. They have a guy named Mary, whose fathers name was Mary, whose fathers name is Mary, whose fathers name is Craig.
Sadly, I didn’t find the pineapple
Does anyone want to watch people solve confusing riddles in record time with me?
“Feast your eyes on my new avatar!” I say
Then I conjure up Shawn Spencer and Gus and they make a reference to a movie or actor no one gets.
The Lassie yells at them for something and they reply “let’s spilt a pineapple” while I say “found it”
I just realized I don’t make sense
After that I conjure up my mom and start playing splendor. Then I give everybody a game
shadow claps. “beautiful”
Are you sure? I think I made everybody deaf.
no, you have in fact enhanced my hearing by 10000000000000% which equals halfway-decent for me, thanks you very much
“I’ve already got bad hearing from years of playing in a noisy brass band” shrugged Aquila, Dewfeather’s kazoo hadn’t affected her at all 😛
“HELLO EARTHLINGS!” Flamecloud shouts, waltzing in after having forgotten that this page existed for quite a bit of time.
“HELLO NON UHH I MEAN DEFINITE EARTHLING”, yowled back Aquila
“HEEELLLLOOOOO EARTHLING HOW DO YOU LIKE EARTH????”
Minktail, adorned in Mardi Gras beads and a Mardi Gras mask, carrying 18 King cakes in one paw and balancing 9 pots of shrimp gumbo on top of 9 more pots of chicken gumbo in the other, hands out beads and food to everyone. “Happy Mardi Gras, y’all!” She yells, slapping masquerade masks on everyone as she continues to pass out food.
“King cakes!! Gumbo!” Pine immediately begins stuffing her face with shrimp gumbo.
Crystal is just in the corner watching Steven universe on her phone
Moona is in the other corner in bed trying to get themselves to get up but their tiiiiiirrrrreeeed
Peo slinks by, deciding not to disturb her.
Ambixie takes out her Viola (with no name, might call it Oak) and plays 3 tunes ~
Barn Dance
Sunset
Sailor’s Dance
(Also she plays very beautifully)
And then sings all the songs from The Greatest Showman perfectly, AND in the right order
