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.
*ivykit suddenly yells* hands up!!! This is a creampuff holdup! Anyone who tries to stop me will be eating the puffs without the cream for a year! *grabs the creampuffs and starts eating then*
“Then ill just make more” retorts willowkit and she stomps into the kitchen
Redblaze watches her curiously. “What’s a creampuff? Is it like a profiterole? Or an eclair without the chocolate?”

“We don’t have them in England!”
“Nor Scotland!”
“Oooh I’ve been on holiday to Scotland before!” grins Aquila, “My mum went to university in Scotland and we go to visit her university friends sometimes!”
“So have I!” Redblaze yelps. “I saw an osprey and everything!”
I thought the warhammer references meant something“Osprey? Is that a bird?” asks Aquila, “I’m terrible at general knowledge. Some of the dumb things I used to think were: Alaska was a country, Latin was the official language of Italy or Greece or somewhere 😛 , Pasta was made out of rice, Elephants lived in the desert and well you get the idea…”
“An osprey is a bird, yes.”
“Thanks!” Aquila grins, “I thought so, but I wasn’t completely sure and I often think wrong when it comes to general knowledge!”
“It’s like an eagle that eats fish” Redblwze mews.
“Well I guess that’s me when I get turned into a RiverClan cat!” chuckles Aquila
Redblaze gives a mrrrow of laughter
“wait Alaska’s not a country”
Redblaze nods. “It’s a state right”
“Yeah, it’s the biggest state of the US!” grins Aquila, “and another thing I can add to my list of dumb things I thought is ‘cherries grow on bushes’ because I went cherry picking today and in the way there I literally thought my mum was joking when she said they grew in trees!!! Ahh cherries grow on trees, I can’t get over that!!!!!!!!!”
Redblaze laughs.
“I always thought pineapples grew on trees. Turn out…. they don’t”
“Pineapples… DON’T grow on trees?!?!?!” gasps Aquila, “What do they grow on? This makes no sense!!!”
“It’s really weird” Redblaze mews. “There’s a plant in the ground with leaves like a succulent. There’s a stem that comes out from the middle and the pineapple grows on the top of the stem, look up a pineapple plant”
“Ospreys are indeed birds!” Captain purrs, “My namesake’s distant cousin.” She refers to her Clan name, which is Falconpaw.
uh no“I looked it up!” Redblaze yelps. “It’s kinda like a profiterole but without the chocolate”
why did you get rid of the chocolate what is wrong with chocolate?“What is the point of an eclair without chocolate?” points out Ttera.
Redblaze nods sagely. “Very true, Ttera, very true”
“I’ve never had one,” Hollykit mews with a frown. “They sound good!”
*runs off with the real creampuff realising ivykit grabbed the prank ones*
*crow gasp* >:0 well i mean they’re not that good so *eats cookie* :]
“Crow, you certainly love cookies, don’t you?” Captain purrs.
“HEY AQUILA!!” Red yells. “I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I FINISHED ALL OF ONCE UPON A TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS MERLIN ABOUT?? DOES IT HAVE MAGIC, ROMANCE, AND ADVENTURE????? WHAT IS IT RATED AND WHAT IS IT ON?????? I NEED HELP!!! I NEED A NEW TV SHOW!!” (ps, anyone can answer, not just Aquila 😛 )
“oh did you ask something?” says crow while wearing a pretend-aquila suit
Aquila grins, “haha I have a twin!!”
“OKAY OKAY OKAY, FIRST OF ALL AHHHH THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! MERLIN IS LOOSELY BASED ON THE LEGENDS OF ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, AND THE SORCERER MERLIN. THEY GO ON QUESTS AND ADVENTURES AND ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!! IT DEFINITELY HAS MAGIC, THATS SUCH A KEY PART, THERE IS SOME ROMANCE BUT NOT TOO MUCH (thank goodness) AND DEFINITELY ADVENTURE! I’M NOT SURE OF THE RATING BUT IN WAS IN THE FAMILY FAVOURITES SECTION ON BBC IPLAYER WHICH WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY MUM 😛 ITS ON NETFLIX, BBC IPLAYER (but that only works in the uk) AND PROBABLY MORE THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT! PLEASE TELL ME YOU’LL WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” screams a very excited Aquila!
“I’m gonna try Merlin,” mews Ttera
“AHHHHH OH MY GOSH, YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!” screeches Aquila, grinning from ear to ear.
Ttera is overwhelmed by this sudden outburst of Aquila’s and starts hyperventilating. “Are you having a heart attack? Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?”
“Hmm yes actually, but not a doctor, THE doctor,” smiles Aquila, “And could you bring the TARDIS too?”
Redblaze jumps in. “No she needs Doctor Who”
(Although Merlin is ok too)
“I wouldn’t trust Merlin with healing me- he’d probably let me suffer and then say that it saved Arthur or something,” grins Aquila, “Although, if you can’t get Doctor Who, then get Gaius, Morgana and Agravaine; I trust them more.”
“The fact that you trust Morgana, who is supposed to be a villain (I think), more than you trust Merlin worries me.”
“Morgana is the BEST (except for Agravaine of course!), and even though she’s a villain, she’s only evil to her enemies, she’s nice to her allies! (Okay, she treats Agravaine like dirt, but there’s a reason which is understandable)” mews Aquila, “Plus you like villains Ttera! And Merlin is cruel and sacrifices lots of random people, and I looked it up and he was responsible for over double the amounts of deaths that morgana was… and he’s a ‘good guy’!”
Redblaze chuckles
“Morgana is the Mapleshade of the Merlin world”
“Now that, is extremely accurate!” meows Aquila, “And Agravaine is that loner guy who tried to be nice to Mapleshade but she completely ignored him and was extremely ungrateful!”
“I haven’t actually read MV yet”
“AHHHHHHH AQUILA YOU HAST SAVED ME!!!!!!!! WHEW!!! NOW IM JUST GONNA GO CONVINCE MY MOM TO WATCH IT WITH ME BUT DISGUISE IT IN A SNEAKY WAY!!!”
“AHHH YES YES YES!!!!!!” screams Aquila, extremely excited, “YOU’LL HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF ALL THE CHARACTERS AND WE CAN HAVE LONG DISCUSSIONS (and debates, if we disagree 😛 ) AND AHHHHHHHHHHHH”
“I watched some of it….” Redblaze mews. “The manticore is a disgrace”
“Manticore? But it’s like only in Merlin for one episode of season 3, the one with gaius and alice.” frowns Aquila, “What I didn’t like was Morgana’s giant slug thing in the end of season 5, it scared me so much but that’s because I’m terrified of slugs.”
Redblaze cocks her head at Aquila “I haven’t seen that one”
“The manticore was in more than one episode? I have a terrible memory!”
Redblaze shakes her head. “No the one with the giant slug”
“You should watch it!! It was either the diamond of the day part 1 or the diamond of the day part 2! I think it was probably part 1 as I remember part 2 better and I don’t think the slug happened in that one.” mews Aquila
Redblaze nods slowly
“Sometimes the things that happen here scare me…” Though Sunpaw speaking out loud, she saying it to anyone in particular.
Redblaze studies Suncloud’s siggie. “You watch Agent Carter?”
YESSSS!!!! IT’S SO GOOOOOOODDD!
Redblaze blinks
“My sister watches it and I kind of…. sit there so I’ve watched some of it”
Hayley Atwell should totally be the next doctorBriarpaw enters the room. “See, this is why I never come here. The cats are weird.”
“Eh, I like being weird,” shrugs Aquila, “if I wasn’t, I would be normal and that would be boring. 😛”
“Yeah, me too.” Ttera sits down. “If I wasn’t weird, what would I be?”
“True dat” Redblaze meows
“Not a cat! But, yea, I’m weird, thanks.” Crooked says distractedly as she reads Webtoons. 😛
“Much offense taken.” Captain mews, pretending to be angry.
“Well, that’s just who we are.” Sunpaw smiles playfully.
“Everyone, le’s go back in time and look at how specific the Hazelpage was some time ago…..
https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/the-hazelpage/comment-page-7/#comments “
“Mmm can we have a food fight?” asks Aquila, “Time capsules and Aliens? Those 2016 BlogClanners sure liked their sci fi!”
“Awww” Redblaze says. “How come I got here after Kate and the aliens left”
we should totally create a secret alien roleplayyes; last thing that happened was they tried to enter a room that had a robot from apparently past events in it (it might’ve been an illusion) and it caused the person who entered to collapse when the person tried to get away… perhaps we could create a secret alien roleplay where we, too, in the future, find that room, the true secret room, hidden (past the room with all the unrealeased books and chairs and bean bags) behind the bookshelf? because they all basically gave up, so it makes sense that the true hidden room is still open for exploration and is still a mystery; perhaps after their adventure they didn’t speak of it so it got lost to history. or we could just come up with an entirely new one“Wow. So, I just read from pages 1-10. Seriously, that alien rp sounds like a lot of fun. Anybody up for making a running gag / rp on this page?!” Stormtail exclaimed excitedly, leaping to her feet/paws.
“You bet I am!” Redblaze yelps
“I would be too!” grins Aquila
“AQUILA I JUST WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF MERLIN AND I AM IN LOVE!!!!!” Red screams.
Redblaze blinks “it’s okay but I prefer Doctor Who”
“AAAAAAAH RED YESSSSSSSS IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!” screams Aquila, “WHOS YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER SO FAR? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ALL THE CHARACTERS? PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!!”
Redblaze sits at the counter, sipping a strange rainbow coloured drink. “Has anyone else tried these? They’re really good!” She mews, although it couldn’t compare with her favourite drink- blackcurrant lemonade
“No!” chuckles Aquila, “Where d’ya get them from?”
Redblaze points at the bar. “Just ask for what you want and it’ll appear” she mews, mouth muffled by her straw (paper of course)
“What about the bar staff? Are all the drinks free?” asks Aquila. She walks up to the counter and looks straight ahead, staring at thin air, “Can I have a raspberry milkshake? Ooh and a chocolate brownie to go with it?” she asks, wondering if her order will magically appear.
“How much?” Captain asks, pulling a few dollars from thin air, then pushed them towards the bar with the help of the Force. “I’d like a mint milkshake, please! It’s almost August but a Shamrock Shake sounds mighty fine today.” She orders, referencing the US’s limited-time McDonald’s shake of the same name.
Aquila shudders slightly as she mind-reads Captain’s thought of McDonalds.
“My feelings exactly Aquila” Redblaze says
“Yes!!!! Like the only thing I find bearable is the ice cream!” mews Aquila, “The fries taste like someone completely covered them in salt and the burgers… well I hate meat, so that kind of explains it.”
“ I don’t mind meat but I don’t like burgers”
“You don’t like meat?” Captain cocks her head. “I didn’t know that!”
“Yeah I don’t!” smiles Aquila, “I want to be a vegetarian but my mum won’t let me. The day I turn 18… bye bye meat!”
Captain laughed. “I understand. What I don’t understand is why parents never let us do what we want!”
“I’d like to try to become a vegetarian although my family don’t think I can do it” Redblaze sighs
“Parents, am I right?” Captain jokes.
Redblaze sighs more
Aquila nods her head in agreement, thinking over her ridiculously overprotective parents.
“When I went peskitarian (vegetarian but i still eat seafood) my mom was kind of mad at me,” Flame mutters, tail twitching irritably, “But she got over it.”
A small white cat comes in and sits down. “Hi!” She says. “I’m Snowpaw, but you can call me Lil. Do you know if they have any sugar-free milkshakes, Aquila?” Lil asks.
“They have anything” Redblaze grins
“Yes!” agrees Aquila, “Hi lil!!!!!!” she yells, slightly overexcited.
“Hi,” says a black kit as she walks in. “Could I get some pasta with vegan butter and goat cheese? Extra salt and a sprinkle of pepper; and a blue raspberry slushy with that. I’m dairy-free, so no milk, except for goat cheese milk. I’m Moonkit, by the way, but you can call me M-cat.” She looks around. “Can I sit with anyone?” M-cat asks.
“That sounds nice!” Aquila smiles, “I’m Aquila, by the way. I don’t tend to sit down, more I’m running around keeping up with the havoc of this place, but but I can now. I have no guarantees on not accidentally breaking the furniture though!” She pauses a moment before continuing, “I’m not sure who is currently the bar staff, usually it’s one of the mods.”she shrugs, “Ah well I guess we can create disaster in this place then!”
“Hi M-cat, you can sit with me,” A Bengal tiger she-cat meowed. She was eating a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato’s, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. A weird feature was that she had one blue eye and one green eye.
“Hellooooo” Redblaze mews, unbalancing on her stool and knocking her (thankfully empty) glass to the ground. “Uhh Captain could you try teach me the force? It may be useful in the not-too-distant future”
She mumbles something and a plate of cinnamon buns appear.
“Anyone want one?” She yowls
“Meeeeeee!!!” yells Aquila
Redblaze chucks a bun at Aquila
Aquila attempts to catch it, misses, sees the cinnamon bun about to hit the ground and flashes her eyes gold, stopping the bun from its fate and leaving it hovering a few inches above floor-level. She then picks it up carefully and takes a bite.
this narrow recovery is the best we’ve seen this season
one second more and it could’ve been a floor bun
here’s the playbackkk
“Which channel is this?” asks Aquila, her cinnamon bun in her hand, “It looks good!”
This is the Aquila network, where we watch aquila all day every day! its a 24/7 livestream of basically just merlinnnnnn“This looks great!!!” grins Aquila, “This person also watches merlin, doctor who and casualty and wow look! They even look exactly like me!!!!!!”
>:D
Casualty? Isn’t that the one where people get brutally injured every episode“No, Casualty is in a hospital. The same hospital as Holby City but I don’t watch that. There are injuries but they aren’t brutal and barely happen on screen.”
“I watched one episode” Redblaze mews. “And someone got impaled on a spike and shot with an arrow”
“They did?!” Aquila’s eyes widen, “Tell me which episode that was- I want to watch that!”
“ hmmm” Redblaze says. “TV these days is strange”
“I’ll try my best. The Jedi counsel has to approve though!” She purred. Watching every episode of Star Wars’ prequel series in the month before, she imagined introducing Yoda to Redblaze.
“Ooohhh is that the Mandalorian? I’ve seen that!” Redblaze yelps
“The Mandalorian is fantastic!” Captain yelps with excitement.
” I agree!” Redblaze conjures a Tv out of nowhere and the theme plays.
Captain turns to the TV, all of her senses alert. The rumbling in her throat grows louder as she starts purring.
Redblaze jumps up onto the bar and then behind and opens a cupboard.
“Look! I found crisps!”
“Got any sour cream and onion pringles?” asks Aquila, looking up hopefully.
“Yes! They’re the best!” Redblaze produces a green pringles box triumphantly
“Agreed!” grins Aquila, taking the tin.
“Let me have some!” Redblaze scrambles after Aquila
“Here!” Aquila grabs a stack of Pringles out of the tin and hands them to Redblaze.
“Really?” Captain mews. “Gimme one Doritos Nacho Cheese!”
Redblaze frowns and yanks a bag out.
“I’m not sure what colour this is meant to be but here ya go”
“They’re blue, right?”
Pinestripe looks through her huge collection of cute numbat pictures. “I want a numbat,” she sighs.
Captain glances at Pinestripe. “I think I can arrange that.” Captain leaves, them returns with a numbat. “Here you are, Pine, one numbat!”
“Thank you so much!” Pinestripe gasps, hugging Captain and then the numbat, “You’re such a good friend, Captain! Thank you, thank you!”
“You’re welcome!” Captain mewed. She loved seeing Pinestripe look so happy, it made her smile.
Goldenpaw sniffed around a table that had vials on it. Picking up a random one, she drank it and immediately shrank to the size of an ant. “Well…this is new,” she said in a super high pitched voice.
“Hey, it’s Ant-Man!” Captain teases, her spruce-colored tail winding behind her. “What’re you up to, other then trouble?”
“Just taking some donuts. Nothin’ much,” Golden replied, taking a bite of the totally not stolen donut, which was more than half her size. “Uh…anyone want to share?”
“So you really are Ant-Man! He’s a master thief, just like you!” Captain couldn’t stop purring.
Redblaze jumps back to avoid stepping on ant-Goldberry.
“Oh Golden!” Aquila shakes her head sadly, “Well at least it wasn’t a rat, like Simon…”
Goldenpaw cocked her head in confusion. “Am I gonna turn into a rat?”
“Maybe…” shrugs Aquila, “Simon turned into a rat in shadowhunters after drinking a blue vial at magnus’s party. I doubt you will too though!”
Redblaze sighs
“Mortal Instruments reference”
“And why is that a sigh??????” Aquila, shoots a teasing glare at her friend, “I’ll have you know that the mortal instruments are VERY good books.”
“I started City of Bones but I got very bored very quickly I’m afraid” Redblaze mews
“Trust me, when we’re going back to school, you’ll be hearing a lot about these books!” Aquila mews.
Stormtail seems to wake up from whatever fantasy she’d been absorbed in, strolls up to the counter, and says, “I would like a cappuccino milk, please.” However, instead of getting that, the bartender accidentally gives her a strange, magic vial that basically looks identical to what Stormtail asked for. She drinks it without a second thought, and suddenly, when she punches the air with sudden, spontaneous excitement, there is this weird shock wave that is semi-visible since the air where it is coming from ripples as though the dimensions themselves are in disarray, and people/cats all over the tavern are knocked off their feet/paws. Stormtail blinks, way too calm in this situation, probably because everyone is beginning to notice the vials that would give them powers, so she isn’t alone. “Huh. Did that come from me? That’s weird. That’s new.” She kicks in a similar manner to how she punched earlier, and another ripple-effect happens. She begins practicing, learning as quickly as possible how to control it so it doesn’t flood across the entire room. She also realizes that she can put up a minor force field. “Hmm… I would’ve preferred that I became a genius from that, or that I would’ve been able to heal myself and others, or even fire, but a strangely dangerous shock-wave and a force field is still pretty cool.” Smiling about her newfound ability, Stormtail goes to sit down again, suppressing the urge to ask for further unnecessary food/drink.
Sunpaw rubbed her head and padded up to Storm. “Where’d you get that?”
“No,” Emberdawn said and slid an unnamed vial to Stormtail. “Drink that, it’ll remove the powers and yes, I did mean remove them. We’d rather not have you accidentally destroy this place!”
Goldenpaw frowned. “Why does she get to have cool punch powers? All it did to me was turn me tiny!” She tried to climb up the leg of the table but slid down again. “Yo, bartender!” she called. “Can I have another one of those vials?” She was too quiet, so the bartender didn’t hear her. In frustration, Golden yelled, “Come over here, you stupid vials!” In her surprise, the vials floated down from the table and onto the floor.”TELEKINESIS! YES!” she cheered. She tried the power on herself and she floated up from the ground, landing onto the table.
And Emberdawn promptly took back all the vials and sprayed depowering potions on everyone. “How about let’s just have some juice and cake and we’ll all be good.”
Storm blinks at Embix once, then twice. “Oh. Alrighty.” Approaching the bar again, she says, “I’d like, uh, a minty milkshake, please.”
She wonders if there is a secret that is not to be known by the majority of the people/cats in the tavern, and that’s why Emberdawn had taken the powers back from everyone. Hmm… 😛
Or we’re not supposed to have powers on the Hazelpage… oopsEmberdawn quickly makes the drink for Storm. “That’ll be 8 bytes!”
(More like there should be some sense of normalcy 😛 Powers do pop up from time to time but it just gets ridiculous sometimes, even for the Hazelpage!)
Storm smiles and hands Embix the bytes. She sits down near Pinestripe, wanting to look at the numbat but not speaking out of awkward shyness 😛
“Good idea!” Pinestripe, who had been busy hiding her numbat under her skirt, sighed with relief. She took out the numbat and put it on her shoulder now that she didn’t have to fear that a potion would get onto it.
“Juice? Where’s the Fanta Grape?” Captain protested.
“Right here!” She tossed a bottle at Captain.
Captain jumps up and catches it. “Thanks!” She meows after putting the soda bottle down.
Fanta Grape is a thing?Yes. Yes it is. 😛
YES IT IS AND I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT IT’S THE MOST LEGENDARY SODA EVERRedblaze frowns
“Huh, I thought the only Fanta flavours were orange, lemon and that red stuff. They probably just don’t sell grape in the UK”
“Grape flavoured Fanta? That’s weird.” Aquila chuckles.
Aquila blinks and her eyes flash gold but nothing happens, “cake sounds good! Got any chocolate cookies? Oh and an apple juice, I love the two together.”
She points at Aquila. “Don’t destroy the tavern, at least.”
“And yes!” The two food items are slid across the counter to Aquila. “7 bytes total!”
Aquila catches her items, “I wouldn’t destroy the tavern!” she mews earnestly, “That would take too much magic. And bytes? Like megabytes or gigabytes, those kind of bytes?” she asks, a confused expression on her face.
She winked. “Yes.”
(Because Embix totally did not forget that the currency here is pixels, not bytes)
XD
Aquila opens her phone, gets a bytes-to-pixels converter and counts out the correct number of pixels, “Here!” she holds them out to Embix.
“Thanks! Enjoy your food!”
“I will!” Aquila grins as she takes her food off the counter and walks away.
Willowkit, who has her golden crayon with her, cause its magic, walks up to the bar, but scowls when she realizes she cant see the top of it. So she uses her gold crayon to activate fairy wings. Now, flying in midair, she mews, “Can i have a chocolate cake with strawberries on top? And hawwiian punch?” She deactivates her fairy wings and lands softly on the ground.
Pinestripe sits down at a table and starts working on drafts for her books. The numbat nibbles on her eraser as she begins to write.
Turtle spots their mentor Pine sitting at a table.
“Hi!” they mew.
Star Wars is awesome“Hi, Turtle!” Pinestripe calls cheerfully, “Would you like to sit here with me?” She motions to an empty chair next to her.
“You’re working on your book?” Captain pads over. “Mind if I join? I need to work on the script for Starlight. I’ll have you know that the story is finally getting settled!”
“Of course you can join,” Pinestripe purrs, “I’ve been needing some company, so I’m glad I have you three,” she adds, with a glance at Captain, Turtle, and the numbat.
“I’m glad Starlight is coming along well,” she says excitedly, looking up from her notebook, “I can’t wait to read it!”
Flame sneaks over, carrying her Chromebook. “Could I join you two as well? I’m trying to get the first draft of The F.A.N.G. chronicles finished.”
“Of course! Come on in!” Captain purrs.
Captain purrs. “I’m glad I have a fan!”
“Excuse me, Emberdawn,” Pinestripe calls, taking out her purse, ready to pay, “May I please have three cookies?” She ordered enough to share in case her friends wanted some. “Also, does this place have numbat food?” she asks, “It’s okay if you don’t- I could run to the petstore.”
“Can I sit with anyone?” Lil asks.
“Of course!” smiles Aquila, holding her cinnamon bun and pringles tin in her arms, “Which table?”
“Table 9!” She turns to the waiter that happens to be Embix..”Can I have a cheesesteak with a side of onion rings?” Lil asks.
“Okay!!!” Aquila grins, flopping into one of the seats. She turns to the waiter, “Can I have a pizza?”
