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.
Silverfrost enters after writing a horrible essay on frog parts. Being a first timer here, she doesn’t know what to expect.
“You may expect chaos, and a grand ol’ time!” Violetdusk says, in way of a greeting.
“HI!” Peo calls to Silver from the rug in front of the fire.
“Sup” Sweets waved.
Silver waved and smiled at all of them, before taking a seat down next to Peo. (Or Peb, I dunno if it was a typo 😛 )
Peo grins and picks up her mug of hot chocolate with thirteen marshmallows hidden under the mountain of whipped cream, and takes a sip, getting cream on her purple nose.
(Properly it’s Peb, but the joke nickname Peo came from an accidental typo that happened here a while ago 😛 My other joke nickname is Pen, courtesy to Fawny c: )
(Ah, okay 😛 )
Silver gives a snort of laughter. “Uh,” she said, her ice blue eyes glittering with laughter. “You’ve got a little something…” She gestured toward her nose.
Peo glances down. Then she sticks out her tongue and licks what she can reach, and rubs the rest off on her silver paw. “Haha.”
She lifts her mug and takes another lap of whipped cream. “So, what’s up?”
Silver shrugs. “Nothing much, really.” She makes a face. “Apart from having to write the most disturbing essay about frog parts that you could imagine.” Silver shudders, remembering the Teams meeting where her teacher actually dissected the frog. “Surprisingly, I’m still starved,”” Silver says. “Oi, waiters! Could I get a glass of lemonade and something good to eat, please!” Silver smiles at them, and turns back to Peo. “So what’s up with you?”
Peo grimaces. “Dissection?????????? Yikes. Well, I’ve been writing and storying a lot, reading, and school. I’m homeschooled. I’ve been trying to draw Saga, and just doing fun or not so fun home things, really. So I’d say mostly my book.”
*A waiter comes over and gives Silver a Cherryade, and a plate of nachos. Silver smiles at them, presses the money in their hand, and thanks them.* Silver turned to Peo and placed the nachos on the ground in between them. “Go on then,” she said, “we can share.” Silver pops a chip into her mouth and closes her eyes appreciatively. “That’s good stuff,” she mumbled. “Oh, you’re homeschooled?” Silver asks, sipping her drink. “What’s that like?”
“welcome to chaos” says crow holding a knife and a cookie. he attempts to decide which one to throw at silver.
“Please don’t threaten other patrons of the tavern,” called Emberdawn from… somewhere.
crow twitches his tail but decides not to throw either
“Throw it at her and you’ll throw it at me,” Peo calls in a friendly voice.
“Yes,” Silver agreed. “And you do not want to throw something at Peo.”
more like he would, but I might just be borrowing Flame’s trashcan lid 😛Jaguar comes in confused
(Continuing me and Violet’s Phantom of the opera thread because it got buried on the other page 😛)
“Ahhhh yay!!!!!! Violin buddies!!!” yells Aquila, “Ooh your violin sounds interesting!! I have absolutely no idea where my full size violin came from or how old it is, but I think it’s quite old because most of the shinyness is gone and it looks like it’s going to break every time I play it 😛 I know my 3/4 size violin was from France and was made in the 1910s, I still have my 3/4 size violin because I love its sound and it’s sounds so much nicer than my full size and my small hands appreciate it’s narrow neck 😛”
She pauses to take a breath because she talks way to much, “I think the phantom could do with a pet like a dog or a cat because he was always lonely and the pet would be affectionate and loyal. Ahh I can just imagine him with a kitten!!! But knowing him he would name it Christine 😛”
Pine perks up, hearing about a Phantom thread. “I could totally imagine the Phantom as the guy who just has one pet but loves it to death,” she said, amused.
“Imagine what the phantom would do when the pet eventually died of old age!” laughs Aquila, “He would be like, ‘my pet is dead, you terrible people are going to pay for this‘ to some random people who didn’t even know he had a pet!”
“Oh who’s your favourite phantom of the opera character Pine???” she asks excitedly!
The phantom is mine oh my gosh i love it there should be a phantom but with cats, the dude is scarred from a fight and has a cobweb mask
“My phantom!” gasps Aquila.
She pauses for a moment, “Okay you can have the phantom as long as I get Raoul!”
Agreed. I don’t like his hair in the movie.
“Yes the haircut is a bit strange in the movie, I think it looks a bit like my cousin’s haircut 😂” mews Aquila, laughing.
“If you watch any other version, his hair looks fine and besides I like Raoul from his character not the hair! 😛”
I have that song stuck in my head right now
Dewy starts singing
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice that calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
PHANTOM
It’s me they hear…
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my/your mind
He’s there, the phantom of the opera!
He’s there, the phantom of the opera
(I know it by heart, but for the sake of my fingers, i copied and pasted it)
Aquila materialises her flugelhorn out of thin air and joins in.
“I do know all the words,” she mews, “But I can’t sing at all – that’s why I get my instruments to sing for me.”
Briarpaw twitches her whiskers. “uhhh… okay. 😛 “
“Ria Ria Ria watch phantom of the opera, you won’t regret it. Okay maybe you might but I’m sure you would like it!!!!!!!” screeches Aquila, gasping to take a breath.
“Oh my god yessss!!!!!! Erik just neeeeeeds a pet!” Violet says. “Christine would totally be the cat’s name. I say cat because Erik seams like a person who doesn’t really want to do things. And cats just mostly sit there. Dogs need more attention.” Violet looks around, surprised that she and Aquila are not alone. “YASSS!! Greetings my fellow Phangirls and Phanboys!!!”
“I know, we have assembled the fans!!!!” yells an overexcited Aquila!!
“Do you like Raoul?” she asks Violet, “I think he’s great!! Not as good as the phantom but a very close second!”
“Raoul is great in Phantom, but honestly, in my opinion, he’s a mouse brain in LND”
“I quite like him in POTO but I like him more in LND!” meows Aquila, controversially, “I think I have a sort of attachment to fictional characters that don’t get want they want and get a bad ending, I like the phantom best in POTO and Raoul best in LND!”
“Hmm, I’ll have nachos topped with chilli please!” Echo called over. “Thank you!”

Oh I was scared for me life
Thank you so much. I am happy. Sry. I was confused and sad
It’s alright ^^
Sunbreeze stands up on one of the tables. “Can I sing something? Is that okay for all you folks?”
Moons sits up. “Fine with me.”
Silver turned to Sunbreeze from her place near the fire. “Sure!” She said, clapping. “Go ahead.”
“IDK and IDC” Holly said, and began hacking cookies into the world
“YES,” Peo cheers.
Thunderblaze jumpes on a table from teh back of the room. No body noticed him. “YAAAH!” He screamed, and played the Super Mario Theme song on his cheeks.
:0 “Now that’s a skill,” Peo says.

I have a song for Violetdusk and Aquila
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently, the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night?
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn’t what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Close your eyes
Start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes and let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
I also have an unhealthy obsession, I’m thinking of it but with cats phantoms mask is cobwebs. I have never seen anyone who loves it besides my mom. Did you know that there was the 25th anniversary play put on YouTube for a short time?
I CANT FIND THE MOVIE ANYWHERE
“Ohhhhh,” Peb says.
“OH MY GOD THE 25 ANIVERSERY WAS MY ENTERENCE INTO THE PHANTOM WORLD!!!!”
“It was?!” yowls Aquila, “I think the world of Phantom Of The Opera is best the first time you see it and your first show being the special royal Albert hall one would have been spectacular!!!!”
“Mine was at a secondary school near me (yes I’m British 😛) when I was 11 and I loved it so so much and I never stopped loving the music, eventhough until recently I forgot the plot 😛” she adds, “I was renewed with my phantom of the opera love when we played the soundtrack at orchestra in January and all my memories of it came flooding back and I got my obsession😛”
“AHHHHHHH YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!” yells a way too excited Aquila, “Yes I did, my and my friends in my brass band were screaming about it on a zoom call a few weeks ago, we literally counted down the days and hours until it aired!!”
“I’m pretty sure you can buy the movie on YouTube,” she mews, “I’ve never seen the movie version, I saw phantom at a secondary school near me when I was 11, in February on the west end, and a few weeks ago on YouTube!!”
Honestly, besides the theme, point of no return and masquerade are my favorite. If you play an instrument, I have a list of the music

If the links don’t work, copy and paste them in the search bar. The everything stuff like this 0.0 is the time it is in. Point of no return, play the phantom part if you really want it to sound like it
Ooh I might show the almost everything one to my conductor and ask her if I can play it with my brass band! We were looking for an arrangement of it, me and some of my phantom obsessed band friends and I feel like that one might work!
“TYSM!!!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE EVERYWHERE!!!”
“Okay,” Sunbreeze said. “Here’s a song!”
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost
And the ones she had found
The ones who had loved her the most
The ones who’d been gone for so very long
She couldn’t remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
They danced through the day and into the night
Through the snow that swept through the hall
From winter to summer then winter again
‘Till the walls did crumble and fall
And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost
And the ones she had found
The ones who had loved her the most
Silver applauds, a wry smile on her face. “You’re good,” she said, “I sound like a lion with a hairball when I sing.”
“I WOULD SING ALONG BUT I DON’T KNOW THE LYRICS,” pen calls
“Encore, Encore!!!”
Brambleheart casually eats popcorn while watching the chaos of the Hazelpage unfold.
Jaguar comes in her eyes darting to and from the people in the Hazelpage. She is quite nervous as she put away her HTML reflective suit. She sits at the corner of a small wooden table and settles down her hands shaking.
Hi I say as I sit down beside her. A plate of cookies materializes out of thin air with wisps of misty sparkle. It gracefully lands in my paw. I offer one to Jaguarpaw
Jaguar hesitantly takes it with her tiny white paw and carefully nibbles on it. “Thanks,” she says. “So what is this place?” Jaguar asks adjusting her brown hat. The tawny and russet feather at the top waves slightly. A glass of hot cocoa topped with whipped cream floated next to her. Jaguar held it and slowly drank from it.
And the notes song
One of my favorites
And what is it I have meant to have wrote? (Looks) written?
Haha
I took away some swear words.
That’s why there are !
Firmin
“Mystery after gala night,” it says, “mystery of sopranos flight”.
“Mystified,” all the papers say, “We are mystified. We suspect foul play!”
Bad news on soprano scene
First Carlotta, now Christine.
Still at least the seats get sold,
Gossip’s worth its weight in gold.
What a way to run a business
Spare me these unending trials
Half your cast disappears
But the crowd still cheers
Opera!
To with ! Gluck and Handel
Have a scandal and you’re sure to have a hit!
Andre
!
Will they all walk out?
This is !
Firmin
Andre please don’t shout
It’s publicity and the take is vast
Free publicity
Andre
But we have no cast!
Firmin
Andre have you seen the queue
Ah, it seems you’ve got one too
Andre
“Dear Andre what a charming gala,
Christine was in a word sublime
We were hardly bereft when Carlotta left
On that note: The diva’s a disaster,
Must you cast her when she’s seasons past her prime?”
Firmin
“Dear Firmin just a brief reminder;
My salary has not been paid
Send it care of the ghost
By return of post
P.T.O No one likes a debter so it’s better if my orders are obeyed!”
Andre & Firmin
Who would have the gall to send this?
Someone with a puerile brain
These are both signed O.G
Who the heck is he?
Opera Ghost!
Firmin
It is nothing short of shocking
Andre
He is mocking our position
Firmin
In addition he wants money
Andre
What a funny apparition
Andre & Firmin
To expect a large retainer
Nothing plainer
He is clearly quite insane
Raoul
Where is she?
Andre
You mean Carlotta?
Raoul
I mean Miss Daae.
Where is she?
Firmin
Well how should we know?
Raoul
I want an answer
I take it that you sent me this note
Andre
What all this nonsense?
Of course not
Firmin
Don’t look at us
Raoul
She’s not with you then?
Firmin
Of course not
Andre
We’re in the dark
Raoul
Monsieur don’t argue
Isn’t this the letter you wrote
Firmin
And what is is that we’re meant to have wrote?
…Written!
Andre
D”o not fear for Miss Daae
The Angel of Music has her under his wing
Make no attempt to see her again.”
Raoul
If you didn’t write it then who did?
Carlotta
Where is he?
Andre
Ah, welcome back!
Carlotta & Piangi
Where is he?
Your precious patron
Where is he?
Raoul
What is it now?
Carlotta
I have your letter
A letter that which I rather resent
Firmin
And did you send it?
Raoul
Of course not!
Andre
As if he would
Carlotta & Piangi
You didn’t send it?
Raoul
Of course not!
Firmin
What going on?
Carlotta
You dare to tell me
That this is not the letter you sent
Raoul
And what is it that I’m meant to have sent?
“Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered.
Christine Daae will be singing on your behalf tonight.
Be prepared for a great misfortune should you attempt to take her place.”
Andre & Firmin
Far too many notes for my taste
And most of them about Christine
All we’ve heard since we came
Is Miss Daae’s name
Madame Giry
Miss Daae has returned
Firmin
No worse for wear as far as we’re concerned
Andre
Where precisely is she now?
Madame Giry
I thought it best she was alone
Meg
She needed rest
Raoul
May I see her?
Madame Giry
No monsieur she will see no one
Carlotta & Piangi
Will she sing?
Will she sing?
Madame Giry
Here I have a note
All (except Madame Giry and Meg)
Let me see it
Firmin
Please
“Gentlemen, I have now sent you several notes of the most aimnable nature detailing how my Opera House is to be run
You have ignored my orders…
Phantom
…I shall give you one last chance
Christine Daae has returned to you
And I am anxious her career should progress
In the new production of Il Muto
You will therefore cast Carlotta as the page boy
And put Miss Daae in the role of Countess
The role which Miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal
The role of the page boy is silent which makes my casting in a word, ideal
I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in box 5 which will be kept empty for me
Should these commands be ignored a disaster beyond your imagination will occur
I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant
O.G
Carlotta & Piangi
Christine!
Andre
What ever next?
Carlotta & Piangi
It’s all a ploy to help Christine
Firmin
This is insane
Carlotta
I know who sent this
The Viscount, her lover
Raoul
Indeed, can you belive this?
Firmin
Signora
Carlotta
O tradori!
Andre
This is a joke
Firmin
This changes nothing
Carlotta
O mentitori
Firmin
Signora!
Andre
You are our star
Firmin
And always will be
Andre
Signora
Firmin
The man is made
Andre
We don’t take orders
Firmin
Miss Daae will be playing the page boy
The silent role
Andre & Firmin
Carlotta will be playing the lead
Charlotta
It’s useless trying to appease me
Piangi
Appease her!
Carlotta
You’re only saying this to please me
“Ooh I can play part of this on my violin!” mews Aquila, “I quite like the tune but it seems a bit too upbeat for theatre owners who are receiving notes from a murderous phantom who lives under their opera 😛”
“You have a violin?” Jaguar asked Aquila. “I used have one except that I gave in to my friend Cloud, a snow leopard while journeying over the Ruby Mountains. Ever heard of that? Anyway my mom used to sing me a song when I was curled up next to her. If you don’t mind can I borrow your violin to play it? It gives me good memories. ” Jaguar set down her hot cocoa on the small wooden table.
“Of course!” Aquila hands her old battered violin to Jaguar.
