Dear CBer,
It comes to us that 2023 will soon be here! What better way to welcome it in than a relaxing coastal vacation? Here at Turquoise Point in Mendocino, California, you will enjoy a night of fun, feasting, and relaxedness! AEs are allowed, but note that each CBer can only file once, so it is a strict or between AEs, characters, and yourself instead of an and. We are limited to nine spots.
Buses will pick you up from the most convenient location on the North American continent--just close your eyes and enjoy the ride. The deadline for forms is 12/12/2022. Be ready, with vaguely formal, sleeping, and travel clothes as well as personal possessions, on the night of 12/30 for us to pick you up.
Here is the form:
Name:
Age (above 6, below 19):
Pronouns:
Location at which to be picked up, and therefore to return to:
Personality:
Appearance:
Favorite color:
Fears:
Description of any interests/obsessions you might have:
Notes, if any:
Packing list:
See you there!

So this isn't a ski lodge (no one gets murdered), more like a solo write involving a secret society of people who really love books and stuff. Post forms by 12/12, we'll start soon after and finish on 12/31. (My name, also, is not Ella Leith--it is a false name used solely for this story. You are free to guess me.) Note that it won't all happen at Turquoise Point, but, well, let the story unfold!

Considering it's been almost two weeks, I think I'll just assume that everyone else will say yes eventually and finish it off. (Thanks for responding if you did.)

They all said yes.
"Okay great," said Ella Leith. "Now we can answer any questions you might have, if there are any." There were.
"How did you pick me up in a bus from Mount Everest?" WiLdSoNg asked.
"They fly," said Ella. "They have wings, courtesy of Charlie, and hover for up to three minutes."
"What is this whole secret society about exactly?" Amarillis questioned.
"Well, it brings books around the world and is known as the Winged Book Society, which is why the buses are so fancy, and so on."
"Then why are we here?" Reuby asked. "It doesn't sound like you need any help."
"Well, we do," said Charlie. "There are only three of us and we all live in the exact same place, so we're not very widespread. This work will involve plenty of geocaching, stalking people, problem-solving, learning about cultures, writing, magic, drawing, and obviously reading, so you're cut out for it." Charlie dug into the pockets of her lab coat and got out what looked like seven silver pieces of metal. "These are the communicators used inside the society that essentially allow you to call anyone with one of them, you'll see once you take them, but also this concludes your overnight, so we'll take you back right now." They went into all the buses. As they drove away, they were all thinking about how much they'd enjoyed Turquoise Point and when they might end up seeing it again soon.

That was a great ending! I wish I could really join the Winged Book Society... *wistful sigh*
