Hello there Darling,

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Hello there Darling,

Hello there Darling,

I suppose you are wondering why I've written you a letter, trust me, I didn't want to. The Master is dead. There. I've said it. Or rather written it? I don't understand letters. 

Anyway, The Master is dead and you could be the heir. Dreadful, I know. Why not me, you ask? Simple: I was not in The Master's will. But you were. Along with a few others but only one of you is the heir. 

I must warn you, only one of the guests who will be visiting this week knows something. What that something is, I am unsure. The Master sent one last letter before death and I was not allowed to read it or see who it went to. If it went you you, then disregard this entire paragraph, stop reading,  and please, do not come. 

Now that we have settled that, Darling, I do hope you attend. You may not remember this place or me but I would be delighted to see you one last time. 

If you are going to be in attendence please fill out the form below. Do not worry about transportation or baggage, all of that will be taken care of for you per The Master's last request. 

I wish you the best of luck,

The Attendant 

You recieved this letter at some point during the day. It may have been on your face when you woke up or it could have magically apeared while you were walking down the stairs. No matter what, it freaked you out. You notice that a piece of paper falls to the floor it reads:

Form:

Name:

Age:

Gender/Pronouns:

Apearence:

Personality (5 words or less):

Biggest Strength:

Biggest Weakness:

Favourite Flower: 

Do you know the answer?

Do you know the answer? What's that supposed to mean? You fill out the form and it bursts into flame, almost burning your hand. You drop it and it disapears. So does the letter. You have no proof that this instance happened and you have no proof that anything will come from it. I wonder how your sanity is doing. 

~~~~~

Alrighty then, a few quick rules that need to be out of character:

1. I am accepting 10 CBers not AE's or Captchas 

2. If you have any magical powers, no you don't

3. updates will (hopefully) be weekly if not more frequent. I am, in fact, a living breathing human being who does have a life so that may not always be the case

4. This is a ski lodge/solo write because yes people will die but also there is a story line that will emerge

5. Please be nice and have fun!

Also feel free to guess who I am.

Thank you, Sterling! I welcome you to The Manor. 

To everyone, I will get the first installment up in a few days. For now, ponder your life and decide whether you have made good decisions. What does it mean to be good? What are morals? Is everything subjective? 

Have a good day and I pray for your sanity.

Day 1, Part 1
The Attendant rushed around, making sure everything was perfect for the approaching guests. Well, soon-to-be approaching guests. They weren’t “On the way” per se, rather they were just going about their daily life. 
Red Starlight was doing just that, in fact she was taking a walk when it happened. She fell through the ground. There was no hole or portal, just a strange blip in the universe. She screamed as she fell, obviously and it felt like she was falling for a very suspicious amount of time… 
She finally landed in a bed of grass. The bed of grass was just the ground. 
Others fell the same way however, they all landed in beautiful bushes of their favorite flowers. Tsuki landed in a beautiful bunch of pink and red orchids; Celeste landed in a large pile of snowdrops.
“I’m sure you’re wondering why you landed here,” The Attendant spoke with an assertive voice. It was very hard to identify. “Hello there Red, you seem to not like flowers so be glad I care so little for weeds,” 
“Weeds?” Red asked incredulously, “That could’ve actually hurt me!”
“You seem fine to me.” The Attendant turned on their heel and walked toward The overarching Manor in front of all the guests. It seemed rather old yet comforting. All of the guests felt a very strong sense of deja vu. Had they been there before?
The Attendant stood on the front steps of The Manor. The guests all gathered in front of them. They were talking amongst themselves about the strange way they all arrived, and for good reason. Some people were having conversations. Some people were buying things from a store. No matter what, their personal lives were completely uprooted.
“Welcome.” The Attendant said. “This is The Manor. You all have your own rooms and you will find them on the second floor.” 
Jaybells noticed that The Attendant seemed to be scanning the group for something? Someone? Xe weren't sure. 
Reuby Moonlight was still picking thorns out of her arms. It didn’t hurt, it was just incredibly annoying. That’s what she gets for saying roses though. Those dastardly corpse flowers would have stunk the place up though, and The Manor would never allow for that. 
“Any questions? No?” The Attendant did not wait for anyone to ask, “Perfect, I will see you all at lunch.” 
The doors opened and inside was the foyer, with two staircases curling up to the third floor. The inside was absolutely beautiful as always.
“Wait!” Someone shouts but The Attendant is already gone. To where? No one is sure. But they are sure that something very strange is going on here…
What would you like to do?

Also if you have any guesses please go ahead and share your thoughts. I will update the potential heirs and suspects as you all make suggestions. Good day.

Could've sworn I commented on this yesterday...ah, well. Anyway, yay! It's started! The whole concept of this ski lodge is very cool, and I'm excited to see where you go with it! As for what I'd like to do...hmm, I think I'll go explore the Manor or the grounds. Maybe I'll get a chance to see those hyacinths. Can I still guess who you are? If so, are you Writing_in_the_Dark or Pancake?

Just an update, I am not writing or pancake, though now I want to eat pancakes. 

Day 1 Part 2 

Tsuki decided to try and find her room. She walked up the stairs, but quickly noticed that there seemed to be too many stairs to reach the second floor. in fact it felt like she had gone up two stories. Which she had.

When she reached the top of the stairs, she saw a sign that said, "Welcome to floor 3!" In big bold letters whcih absolutly irked her. Why in the world were there stairs that went up to the third floor and skipped the second?? 

Well, that's not The Manor's problem. She will just have to wander around to figure it out. She shouldn't get lost though. It's terribly difficult to get lost. 

Panglion did the opposite. They went outside to go look at the hyacithns, as they are her favourite flower.  They wandered around but could not seem to find the flowers. 

Apparently they just disapeared. Pangolion found this strange but not unexpected. So far she had found this whole trip strange. 

She eventually found herself near some sort of body of water. It looked like a pond but it was moving like a river. And occasionally, there seemed to be a wave? And was that a waterfall in the distance? Pangolion was very confused.

"What are you doing?" 

Pangolion let out a squeak as she turned around and saw The Attendant. 

The Attendant was standing there with their arms crossed and looked upset even though Pangolion couldn't really see their face. "Well? Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to give me an explanation?" 

"I'm sorry, I was just looking around,  The flowers were so pretty and then I just ended up here-"

"Go back to The Manor. Now." The Attendant seemed to break character almost. Pangolion quickly complied and ran back. She almost ran into someone but rushed out a quick apology before rushing back inside.

That person was Reuby Moonlight. She saw Pangolion rush by and wnted to ask what was going on but Pangolion was gone. In fact, everything seemed eerily quiet. Reuby was wandering around The Manor's grounds trying to map out everything. She was not having much success. Whenever she turned around, everything seemed different.

She was too confused to hear the footsteps coming up behind her. Too confused to hear the heavy breathing. Too focused to notice the person right behind her. Then it was too late. 

She was moved to where she first landed at The Manor, a single black rose placed over her. 

No one saw what happened. No one knew she was gone. That was until Sterling decided to go for a walk, stepped out through the doors and screamed. 

Reuby Moonlight was dead.
