You quietly sit

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

You quietly sit

You quietly sit on your bed, reading your favorite book, over and over again.

Untill...

THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

Your favorite page...is simply NOT your favorite page any more! It's covered in writing that says something in characters you can't read.

Which stuns you completely. What does that even MEAN!? And suddenly, the words on the page twist, turn around, and rearange themselves neatly into words. "Welcome to the Halloween Paradise! While some people think that halloween is only for spooks, we believe in all three elements of Halloween---Scary, Silly, Supernatural, and Sassy! Sassy being if you're a weak sissy who wants to dress up in a fairy princess costume. Eugh, be more original, darlings!" You read out loud. "I'll come and pick you up soon, my darling!" P.S: "The blank is responsible for all deaths, ect. But no, we will not pay you any fees for your own death, the only cost we will cover is for your funeral, and an honorary poem at the begining of each post."

You had not read the last part, so you simply smiled. Delightful! You quietly pack your halloween costume (PACK A HALLOWEEN COSTUME, and TELL ME WHAT IT IS!), and go outside.

The second you step on the lawn, a carriage appears.

RULES: This is a SKI LODGE, but it is slightly subject to your changes. You may write DIARY ENTRIES that talk about your emotions, ect, and talk about small details that happened that day that I did not write about. 

Thank you! 

 

Please submit comments all in English. We don't have time to check unfamiliar characters for any hidden meaning.

Thank you.

May you always be

Evermore in a land

Without captivity and Pokéballs. 

~Day Two~

The CBers were all sorted into rooms, under halloween names.

CANDY: Sophia, Fia, Cortana

PUMPKIN: Icy, Bolton, Chester

WITCH: September, Kaleidoscope Gryphon, Inktail 

COSTUME: Clouded, Kestrel, Little Reader, 

CAT: Gossamer, Daisy, Trill

Did I forget anyone?

All of the CBers were woken up from their beds (LIKE ANY OF THEM GOT ANY SLEEP) at sunrise by a loud megaphone in their cold, stone brick rooms blaring "AWAKE, YE CBERS!!! TODAY IS OUR FIRST HALLOWEEN ACTIVITY!!!" The HalloweenSkiL (does not stand for Ski Lodge) Writer's voice blared. "TODAY WE'RE DOING A HAUNTED HAY MAZE!"

The CBers groaned and grumbled as they awakened, Daisy in particular grumbling "I didn't want this type of AE drama..." and they trooped out of their doors---

To discover that they were no longer inside of the hallway outside of their doors. It was early morning, freezing, and walls made of hay surrounded them all. Even worse, they were secluded, their hands were tied, and they were gagged.

Muffled noises--no doubt CBers fighting their Gags--were heard from all around, adding to the spook and chill.

A bat swooped overhead. The cries of the dead were heard along with howls of wolves--

Howls of wolves?! Cries of the dead!?

Daisy turned around in the maze, shrieking and fighting her gags, as red eyes approached her from the shadow of the maze. This was a nightmare...this was a nightmare....

Suddenly, fire lit up the maze. Fia's figure appeared from nowhere, swooping towards the red eyes with her wings on fire---and extinguishing the darkness, revealing floating red eyes that were held up with some strange contraption.

The dead shrieked and moaned again, begging to be free of their chains.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the maze...~~~

Inktail was seranaded by shrieks of the dead from all around, but could not see anything. She was getting REALLY concerned when she heard rattling chains. She tried to run one direction, but accidentally tripped and flopped over.

Her face hit the dirt and the shrieks and moans were unbearably loud, surrounding her ear--she struggled to get up--and noticed that her face had hit a speaker implanted in the ground.

~~~

Kestrel made her way through the maze, staring through straw and hay--and then suddenly--LIGHT! THE EXIT!!!

~~~

Daisy saw two red eyes in the darkness. Fia had long since left, and then she stepped straight towards the red eyes. "I know you're fake." She said angrily.

And, then, a voice from the shadows whispered, in it's innocent voice--"I'm not fake, Daisy."

The murderer threw its dagger.

Whoa. So, Kestrel wins, Daisy's dead, and I'm figuring out your a big huge fake (in the maze instance at least.)?

 

Cool.

 

 

 

RIP MEWWWWWW! Even though I disn't really know you, the way you died...WAAAAH

Daisy could do

Anything

In love

So for your friends

You did much 

~~~

Day three

The CBers left the maze, panting and screaming proudly. "We made it!" They yelled. "I won!" Kestrel whispered, shocked.

The HalloweenSkiL Writer smiled softly. It was good for Kestrel, happiness after she had been so dark, so upset, so quiet since Mew died for her, a complete stranger cutting his life short in her place. The HalloweenSkiL Writer began to quietly shed tears for Mew...

The CBers yelled and hoisted Kestrel onto their shoulders, screaming and cheering. The murderer smiled as they celebrated, and laughed at the dampen it would place on them, and how horrible it would be once they discovered Daisy's body.

And there it was.

A small, lone figure appeared out of the maze, seemingly with a strange, huge black mass in it's arms.  

The CBers never noticed.

Then, one of the celebrators noticed. They quietly uttered a "no", pulled Kestrel away. Clouded set Kestrel down gently, trying to get away before Kestrel noticed. "Come on, Kestrel, I'll go get you a Sundae to celebrate. We can probably do something fangirly. How are you with Undertale? Hamilton?" Clouded said, leading her away before she could notice.  

The CBers quietly stopped the celebrations as they noticed. Sophia. Quiet, sweet Sophia, who always watched where she was going so that she didn't step on a bug and hurt one, kind and quiet...

Sophia was holding Daisy's body in her arms. A dagger hilt was barely visible. "I found her.." Sophia whispered. "I found her body in the maze... What monster would..."

Gossamer ran up to Sophia and wrapped her arms around her. "Sophia, Sophia..." She whispered. "We'll never let anyone get you like...they got...Daisy..."

The murderer smirked. Never let anyone get her? Ha.

"We have to look for clues." The HalloweenSkiL Writer said determinedly. "And I know how to do this." She/He said calmly, clapping his/her hands together. The hay maze sunk into the ground.

"It was built on Pistons." He/she said calmly. "Sophia, where did you find--" Sophia took off across the maze, running as fast as she could. The HalloweenSkiL Writer then turned to the camera/her readers. "Please, listen. If you have ANY guesses to who  did this, please post them. PLEASE!" He/She begged.

Then the CBers paired up and left, scanning the area around where the murder happenened.

Later,

~~~

Two groups met up to see what clues were found. Inktail and Little Reader, along with Icy and Gossamer, met up. "I found an Inkwell." Icy said, holding it up.

"I found a few strands of Blonde Hair." Inktail said, holding up evenly clipped strands of blonde hair. Icy's hand flew to her hair.

"Gossamer, what did you--" Little Reader asked. And then he/she stepped up to Gossamer. "Well, I found--" Gossamer said calmly. And then an owl sharply hooted, interrupting her.

An arrow found itself in her chest. She toppled over.

Icy! You've been discovered! Also, nooooo! So many friends have been dying! RIP, Gossamer. 

Hey, what about me? I've been dead since the first post. 

Of course I haven't forgotten you, Mew! It was so dashing how you did that for her! (Quite unlike you normally, im fact).

What can I say. I... still miss Quill. 

Hey! ICY! Ya forgot mee!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. Veranda's in this ski lodge, too. That's all, though. Nice job so far! I'm excited to see what comes next! (You've been freed, do you know how hard it is to lead? You're on your own...)

She will be missed.

RIP Gossamer

See her death poem in the last post.

Day Four

Time Flies~

Inktail screamed. "GOSSAMER!" She yelled. Icy caught the falling body, and Little Reader screamed and tugged the arrow out.

Veranda materialized out of nowhere (sorry for forgetting you Veranda!) and helped catch the falling body. "Oh my gosh...oh my gosh..." Icy murmured over and over. "Let's get the dead body in." Inktail whispered through tears.

~~~

The CBers were assembled into a large room that day, a meeting room (think the Great Hall out of Harry Potter), where the HalloweenSkiL Writer insisted that they must meet and listen to her.

"Attention CBers! We MUST go into a panic guessing the murderer and anylyzing each Post I make--an account of that day--and we must stop this murderer!" The HalloweenSkiL Writer cried. "So, I have assigned each of you to a LAB for the day!" She/he yelled.

CANDY and CAT went to one lab with WITCH, and COSTUME and PUMPKIN went to another lab (check to see what room you're in!)

~~~ candy, cat, witch ~~~

Inktail crossed the sterile, white laboratory calmly. She was confused to what had happened... because of a few things. What would her lab mates think?

"Icy would never do such a thing!" September yelled from across the room at Kaleidoscope Gryphon. "And neither would Inktail!" "Face it, this blonde hair matches Icy's completely! And Ink--Inktail!" Kaleidoscope yelled. "But they were right there when Gossamer died!" September argued. "Maybe Little Reader was in on it too!" KG said strongly.

Trill sighed anxiously. "KG, we don't have enough evidence." She said calmly. "Since we're in charge of anylyzing the evidence, why don't you two actually anylyze it instead of arguing?" She suggested.

"Fine. Where did Fia and Cortana put the DNA anylyzer?" September asked, and crossed the lab.

Fia messed with the anylyzer, and calmly laughed as she put a strand of her hair into it and it anylyzed it perfectly. Wow! This thing was genius! Suddenly, September crossed the sterile space, in a labcoat, wearing plastic gloves and using them to handle an inkwell.

"Sup, Sept?" Fia asked. "Fia, I need you to anylyze this." September said. Fia took the inkwell from September's hands, and turned to a small, microwave-looking thing on the countertop--except it was definitely not a microwave. In place of a normal door, it had a vault door....

Fia turned the vault door open, and September placed the inkwell inside. Fia closed the door, punched in a bunch of numbers and then a blue, transparent screen appeared, holographically appearing above the device.

Words appeared on the screen, and Fia frowned. "Sept?" "Yeah?" "Look at this." The screen said: "MATTER: Liquid FORM: Transfigured KNOWN AS: Blood."

Fia frowned. "Seems like something got transformed, Sept. I'm no expert...but... seems like some magical shenanigans are afoot."

September sighed, grimly, and walked over to the nearest window, and listened to an owl hooting. When would this mystery end?

A dagger flew through the window, and shattered the glass before sinking itself into her heart.

So in

Everyone's eyes you were

Perfect

To the end

~~~

The CBers scurried around the lab, wondering why September had decided to take a nap in a strange position in front of the windowsill, and why the glass was shattered.

The blonde hair was analyzed--it came from a wig. And how would the hair have fallen off? It was clearly cut by scissors! The murderer silently cursed this, knowing that he/she could do better next time. Plant a better clue, something better than an inkwell that was secretly filled with transfigured blood, or a strand of blonde hair cut from a costume wig. 

Meanwhile, in the other lab, where the inhabitants of room Pumpkin and Costume were checking security camera footage....

Icy was making extremely cutting remarks about Bolton's flower, and Clouded & Little Reader were laughing together about the fact that Chester was a butterfly and Bolton was a forget-me-not.

Icy was reviewing footage. "I found Drone footage!" Icy said suddenly. Clouded led Kestrel away as the rest of the group watched footage of Daisy in the maze. "Fia never should have left her." Bolton said angrily. Icy sighed. "Go flirt with a girl or something." Chester muttered, knowing that that was what Daisy would have done. "MMkay." Bolton said, and then grinned. "Actually, Cortana's pretty hot--" He said. "--Children are reading this?!" Clouded shouted from where she was talking to Kestrel, and broke the fourth wall. "Sorry!" Bolton yelled.

Chester stared at the security footage. "There--the murderer---no! It's too shadowy to see who it is..." Chester muttered. Little Reader took the opportunity to shoot his/her (sorry don't know) Ranger's bow in frustration.

Clouded shoved Kestrel to the ground to avoid getting impaled by the bow.

"None of the other footage has any footage of the murderer!" Veranda said in frustration. Bolton sauntered over, and took an opportunity to use a pick up line on Icy. "Hey Icy, we're in Pumpkin together because you're my Pumpk--"

Icy left the room, and suddenly the Halloween SkiL Writer ran in. "Did you find anything?!" He/She yelled. "No." Kestrel muttered, fanning out the Kestrel wings on her back. "NOTHING!?" The Halloween SkiL writer screamed, then took a hammer from his/her pocket, and smashed the fourth wall with it, and then turned to the readers. "Everyone. Scan every post you can. The murderer will win, and everyone will DIE if you don't guess who the Murderer is!! After trick-or-treating tomorrow, we're going to have a press conference to see everyone's ideas. SCAN ALL THE POSTS FOR CLUES!" The Halloween SkiL Writer screamed.

Veranda walked over to the fourth wall. "Erm, excuse me, Writer person, but exactly how are you going to fix the fourth wall?" Veranda asked, with his best attempt at politeness. The Halloween SkiL Writer gasped. "I have no idea."

"Duck Tape?" Veranda suggested.

NO DEATHS BECAUSE THIS TECHNICALLY IS THE SAME DAY THAT SEPTEMBER DIED

That night.....

~~~

"Everyone, listen up!" The Halloween SkiL Writer yelled from the position of a stage where she/he had gathered the CBers as an audience. "Today we're going to be injecting y'all!" She yelled. "Injecting?" The CBers asked. "Ah. Yes. Injecting." The Halloween SkiL Writer said. "For, tonight is the Supermoon, a night where ghosts and ghasts and ghouls wander amuck as if it were Halloween. The injections are to save you from their bite."

So the CBers lined up on the stage, Veranda taking first position to get his injection. 

"You may pass out for a few seconds." The Halloween SkiL Writer said, taking a lime-green colored tube from her pocket and pulling it out. She then pricked Veranda, and he spiralled down, down, down, down....

~~~

"Where's the Halloween SkiL Writer?" The CBers asked on the deserted stage, wondering how this could be possible that, at the last injection (which was Little Reader) the Halloween SkiL Writer had vanished.

Clouded gasped and pointed at the supermoon. "That's no moon!"

A giant death star was sitting in the sky. Chaos reigned as the CBers ran around. "It's just the injection, making you delirious." The Halloween SkiL Writer said, his/her voice coming out of no where. "But I wanted to take pictures of the SuperMoon, not the super death star!" Cortana whined.

"Your camera is probably not delirious. Just center it on the death star." Chester suggested. "Right, let me take a few." Cortana said, snapping several pictures. Suddenly---an owl hooted. The CBers looked around. "Who's dead!?" They all asked at the same time. "I don't see anybody lying in a heap on the ground. Maybe it was a false alarm." A sweet, shy voice that could only belong to Sophia said from the cluster of CBers.

"Right, Sophie!" Little Reader said.

Suddenly, the moans and groans of the undead seemed to serenade the CBers. There were many loud shrieks and sounds of weapons being drawn as the CBers fled, all together, away from the stage, out of the castle, and across the lawn.

Clouded blinked. "Are those real?"

A squadron of X-Wings sat on the lawn. "I don't think we were being delirious.."  Kaleidoscope Gryphon said as she ran her hand on the polished outside surface and felt the wings. She smiled and opened the cockpit, jumping in.

That's when the CBers woke up. "Oh, goodness, the sleeping toxin was really supposed to last longer than that..." The Halloween SkiL Writer muttered. "Sleeping toxin!?" Kaleidoscope asked, punching her fist into her palm. "Ah, yes." The Halloween SkiL Writer murmured.

"I wanted to give you a memorable supermoon, so I....sort of gave you a bit of a dream, an experience you won't forget." The Halloween SkiL Writer said hopelessly. Sophia gave her a bit smile. "Of course we won't forget. It was....fun."

Then Veranda gasped. One of the CBers/AEs/CAPTCHAs was still asleep... he ran towards them. A blue syringe was stuck in his back--"He's not going to wake up..." The Halloween SkiL Writer whispered. "WHO DID THIS?!" She bellowed. "WHO STUCK CHESTER IN A DREAM WORLD FOREVER?!"

But nobody answered.

She/he crawled on top of the fourth wall and sat there crying.
