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 invitinglyΒ and alluring rainbow-coloured drinks are poured into glasses. Exciting chatter fills the rooms from tables bustling with friends, eating from trays of warm, rusticΒ carumΒ 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,Β three floorsΒ and turret bedrooms to rest in at the top!Β We’ve returned, freeΒ from the battles of the secret pages! A safe micro-community of equality and no judgement. Hang up yourΒ 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.
“:(” says Pear.
“:)” replied Shadow.
β:DDDDDDDDDβ yells Aquila!!
Ferretpaw walks over, “Hi Shadowwing!”
“HELLO!” Shadow yelled, delighted at the sight of his apprentice, “How things going?”.
“Good, how about you?” Ferretpaw smiles.
“I’m alright” Shadow replies.
“What’s wrong?” Redblaze looks up from her science revision
Navy shows up in her TARDIS again, dramatically prising the doors open.
“I am so ready for Revolution of the Daleks!”
βOMG YESSSS!!!!!! MY FAMILY ARE ALL WATCHING IT WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT AND IF MY DAD IS USING THE LOUNGE FOR A CONFERENCE THAT DAY THEN HEβS JUST GONNA HAVE TO PUT UP WITH DOCTOR WHO BECAUSE THEREβS NO WAY IβM MISSING IT!!β Aquila yells happily.
Navy emits an indecipherable noise and flops down on a purple sofa that definitely wasn’t there a second ago.
βWhoβs your favourite doctor who character overall?β Aquila asks excitedly, βMineβs probably the master/missy but thereβs so many good ones!!!β
“Can’t choose.” Navy replied.
βFair, most of the characters are awesome!!!β Aquila grins, βFavourite Doctor though? Top 5 companions?β
“YEEEEEEEEE” Redblaze screams, hyped even though there’s several months to go at least
“YEEEEEEEEEE” Navy screamed back.
Redblaze picks up a small figure of a person in armour.
βAnyone here play D&D?β She yelps excitedly
βNo but you did say youβd teach me…β Aquila mews
Redblaze grins. “OOOoooo yes!”
βWait you have a figurine? I thought the characters were just imagined and it wasnβt a board game but more one where you write everything down on paper!β Aquila mews
“No?”
βItβs an awesome game!!!β Redblaze explains emphatically
“GONNA START WATCHING DOCTOR WHO SOON!!! WILL I REGRET IT? WILL I ENJOY IT? WHAT DO Y’ALL THINK??” Red asked, running into the Tavern and throwing the door wide open.
βI started watching it from David Tennant a few days ago and Iβm really enjoying itβ Shadow replied.
βOHMYGOSH YOU ARE?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!β yells Aquila, βAAAAHHH THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!! ALLONS-Y *insert more Doctor Who quotes here*! I THINK YOUβLL REALLY LIKE IT!!!!!! AHHHH YOUβLL HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, WHO YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER IS AND AAAAHHHβ She starts jumping up and down with excitement!!!!!!
“You will not regret it!” Redblaze confirms
βRED RED RED PLEASE SAY YOUβLL SEE THIS… I GOT DISCORD!!!!!!! MY MUM ISNβT THRILLED IM ALSO GONNA USE IT FOR WARRIOR CATS STUFF BUT THEREβS NOT MUCH SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT… π MY TAG THING IS River Song#7132 AND I REALLY HOPE YOU SEE THIS!!!β Aquila yowls.
(Also anyone else, you can come friend me with that too if you want, I donβt bite π)
send you a fr c:
“Mines Shadowwing#2711” Shadow replied.
βWaittt are you on the BlogClan Discord? And if you arenβt, (because I couldnβt seem to find you in it but I just could be misusing discord π) would you like to be added? I have no clue how to do that myself but other people could.β Aquila asks
” I WOULD LOVE TO BE ADDED!” Shadow yells
βOk Iβll ask someone to add you because discord is confusing!β Aquila grins
βI need to get discordβ Redblaze muses
βYeah you should!!β Aquila mews
“I am so sorry dear cats of the Hazelpage,” Flower sniffs, “I have not visited this page since we updated that blog…so as an apology I will raid your kitchen…so you don’t have to worry about what you will do with all that food…heh heh”
Redblaze screams. “No! Not the custard creams!!!”
“Sure” shrugs Aquila tapping her vortex manipulator with her fingers, “I’ll just go into the future and have some food from when it’s restocked…” She pauses in though, “3rd September 2029, my tenth clanniversary, sound good enough?”
(I should actually post on the hazelpage on that date π I’ll be 22, gosh!!!)
βAre there Cheezits? If there are, GIMME!β Flamey shouts, running at Aquila.
(Iβll be almost 20 on that date. Yikes!)
βTheyβre the crackers that arenβt-like-wotsits-and-arenβt-like-goldfish-crackers-either,-which-are-not-fish-food-and-donβt-taste-of-fish, right??β Aquila asks, βThey donβt exist in England, Iβve never tried them!β
Flame grinned like a hooligan. βYes! Now, GIMME!β She lunges foreword before quickly remembering her manners. βPlease?β She added.
Bloomie looks up from sorting 2,716 rubber bands by color. “Are there any Pringles?”
Redblaze pricks her ears at the mention of those incredible crisps. “Sour cream and onion pringles?”
“Could be.” Bloomie shrugs. “I’m going to assume they have sour cream and onion Pringles, because those are the best kind.”
Redblaze grins and grabs a pawful
Flamey silently gags. βI almost choked on a Pringle once.β She explains to the thin air in front of her.
Venus grabbed one bag with 5 extremely hot (like around 400 Celsius) pumpkin spice lattes and flew into a portal.
“Well,” said Raven, “We now know what happened with the pumpkin spice lattes.”
Ferretpaw gasped, “sorry I haven’t been on blogclan in so long.”
(whatβs page for? I just found it)
“It’s for hanging out and doing crazy stuff.”
“Eating pringles,” Bloomie replied while munching a can of Pringles she’d just saved from Flowerpaw’s kitchen raid.
“Just a weird little roleplay page.” Redblaze grins
Raven casually sips on a choco latte.
Riv asks, “Where did you get that? I want one.”
“I got it from the middle of the void where some cosmodogs were somehow selling drinks still in their liquid in space.” Raven continues drinking on the choco latte. “And I’m pretty sure Merc bought the rest because she REALLY like choco lattes.”
βDo they have raspberry milkshakes?β Aquila asks hopefully.
“Maybe. I never really visited that place or even know where it is, that’s just where Venus says Merc gets her choco lattes from because doesn’t have the guts to enter another planet, check for intelligent beings, check if they are selling pumpkin spice lattes, check if they have sold out, and if they did then burn the entire shop down and repeat the process for the rest of the coffee shops,” explained Raven. A portal opened from behind her and Venus poked out her head.
“No, I was pretty sure you heard me say that and I didn’t tell you directly, or else you’d be dead,” she hissed, directing a firelazer towards her. Raven dodged by backflipping.
βOOOOOH FIRE!!!β Aquila yowls excitedly, βI LIKE FIRE!β
“Fire,” hissed Venus silkily, “That name does send a signal-”
Suddenly, the cream and white dog-like animal transformed into a mottled flame-orange and ash-black kitsune with a split across her face and nine fluffy white tails tipped with pale purple and dark purple dragon wings, which was apparently named Fire.
“Now, I shall dominate this server,” she hissed.
Raven was not presence during this entire time because she already left.
Redblaze blinks. βGuys I know my name is fire and everything but could you please chill it water is so much better!β
Bloomie nodded in agreement. “Fire is very nice. Except when it pops up after you cook your pancakes too long…”
“AHA!” Bloomie yells triumphantly, holding up the 3-foot long rubberband chain she’d just finished with her 2,716 color-sorted rubberbands.
βThatβs dedication,β Aquila looks over, impressed
Redblaze frowns at her phone. βI always miss the discord chats because of time zones.β She growls
βWell itβs not like BlogChat so itβs always open, so just start one by messaging!β Aquila meows, βOr sacrifice your sleep I guess…β
Ttera randomly gets up onto a table and starts tap-dancing.
Bloomie randomly gets up onto another table and starts doing a jig.
βOoo I remember this from five pages ago!β Redblaze grins and joins her
Flamey jumps onto a table and begins to do a series of pirouettes.
“What’d I miss?” Goldenbee asks, sliding through the tavern doors, wearing a top hat,
“Someone raided the kitchen and took all the food, my OC broke in the hazelpage via portals and stole a bunch of pumpkin spice lattes heated up to 400 degrees celsius, and that’s it.”
“Pringles.” Bloomie responds. She’d just finished the last of her 7 tubes of sour cream and onion pringles.
Turtle –
Turtle walks in. βI havenβt been here in a while,β they comment. βOh well. So, who here likes Hawkfrost?β
Walk Without The Stars
“Hawkfrost?” Bloomie asks. “Evil.”
Turtle –
βYeah, I agree heβs evil. But heβs such a good villain!β Turtle exclaims.
Play To Win
Redblaze scowls.
βNot me.β
Turtle –
Turtle shrugs. βOh well. Thatβs your opinion, and I respect that.β
Play To Win.
Redblaze smiles
