It's a dark
Chatterbox: Inkwell
It's a dark
It's a dark and stormy night. Of course it is. Dark and stormy nights are the go-to introduction for anything. Such a cliché. But there's no getting around it. This is definitly a dark and stormy night.
You wake up to the sound of tiny thuds on your window. Somehow, this is what wakes you, not the huge booms of thunder outside. The thuds are made by a hummingbird, beautiful and jewel-toned, carrying a creamy envelope nearly five time its size.
You grab the envelope. You don't really have a choice. You're just a pawn in this game. Inside is a letter, of course. Were you expecting something else?
Dear CBer, it reads.
Hello. I'm very sorry for this dramatic entrance. I had to make sure I got your attention. Your attention now belongs to me.
You are invited to the annual Chatterbox Murder Mystery Party. And yes, it is indeed annual. It happens every year, you've just never been invited. You'll probably never be invited again. So you'd better not turn this offer down.
This is NOT a ski lodge. Hmmm, you think. You rather doubt it. This is almost certainly a ski lodge. It is merely a mystery party, full of wax bodies and ketchup blood. And you are invited to solve the mystery of who killed nice, old Mr. Mister, the old man of little importence. Was it Mrs. Married Lady? Or maybe it was Harmless Little Kid. It's your job to find out!
Just fill out this form, and you are officially Detective CBer Whose Name I Don't Know. Congratulations!

Just so you know, popcorn is free, but it is probably poisoned. We are not responsible for any pain, death, stabbing, poisioning, vomiting, etc. Not that any of that will happen of course. We are accepting about 15 groups. You may bring UP TO two companions. However, please remember that 15 time 3 is 45, and that is a lot of people for me to handle, so be aware of that.
Have fun!
~The Supreme Ruler

Yes, this is a ski lodge. If you have questions, or guesses to the murderer's identity or my own identity, please feel free to post them. Um. . . that's all, I think. Goodbye, I have things to do, and you have a form to fill out!

Oh that's totally fine :)
I'll just bring Midnight then.
(June 27, 2020 - 2:52 pm)
I did both because I either misread or you mistyped the intro; it says up to two. But maybe you meant only under two? I don't know...
(June 27, 2020 - 2:53 pm)
Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. When I said that, I meant one AE and one CAPTCHA, but, when I look back, I see that I did not actually see that. Once again, I'm sorry for the miscommunication.
(June 27, 2020 - 5:18 pm)
It's fine! No worries

Reserving a spot!
(June 24, 2020 - 2:07 pm)
Dear the Supreme, I have write the following in response to your letter (please expect it by Raven):
My primary question is could I reserve a spot? As I wish to visit your establishment. Second to that, I noticed your letter does not cover death by cooling box. May I gather that this to it is not an eventuality?
Asto the identity of the murder, my moneys on Mr. Nefarious Butler. Provide of course such an individual is employed on staff. If not, itis doubtless Harmless Little Kid since - while no harm may surround him- it's possible he's the one that causes harm. Presumably, in part, by going up to people an demanding all their small change, with some some impish lies about aging Aunt or Mr. Grampa Pa. Thus is my theory so ,if the time comes, let it be know "I saw through that lad from the start". He might have a harmless name but in reality he's probably Master Puck.
Goodday, and many apologies for my baseless accusations. Especially considering this is certainly not a Ski Loge, whatsoever.
~Withdue respect and mingled suspicion,
JohnF.Q

Dear John F.Q, (please expect this letter by return Raven)
Of course, we would be delighted if you reserve a spot. And, since no one will die except wax dummies, of course death by cooling box will not be an issue. Everyone knows that wax dummies can withstand extreme cold.
And, of course, it is very possible that Mr. Nefarious Butler is the murderer. If, of course, Mr.Nefarious Butler was not the victim in last year's Annual Chatterbox Murder Mystery Party. But then, Harmless Little Kid is your prime suspect, although everyone knows that he has never told a lie in his life. Unless, of course, he is merely good at hiding them.
See you soon!
-The Supreme Ruler

When does the Ski Lodge start? Just to make sure I submit the fourm on time.
(June 29, 2020 - 7:49 pm)
The ski lodge will start as soon as we have enough people and they have all submitted their forms. So, everyone can take as much time as they need, there's no due date.
(June 29, 2020 - 8:17 pm)
@The Supreme Ruler, please scratch the part in my luggage about a stuffed bear. I was copying and pasting something and somehow I forgot to delete that part. Thanks!
