Dear Members of

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Dear Members of

Dear Members of the Chatterbox, 

I think we should start a ski lodge murder mystery game. The rules are listed below:

-First of all, it is not supposed to be gory or scary. It is supposed to appropriate and humorous.

-You play as yourself. The premise is: You are invited to a ski lodge for however many days. You go and have fun but then people start dying mysteriously. You need to figure out who the culprit is.

-The murderer is one of you who join the game but you won't know who it is. I will.

-One person dies a day.

-Strange things happen in the ski lodge. Logic doesn't nessecarily apply here, as you will soon see.

-Every day, I will post (probably in the morning) the day's events. Read, enjoy, speculate, and if you like, write the day from your point of view or something you think happened. The sillier the better.

-You die randomly. I pull your name out of a Sugarbowl. By the way, Gollum, remember last year when I lost your name in my lunchbox? I found it two days ago on my art easel in the garage. I have absolutely no idea how it got there. 

-The game shall start on July 7. I know it's Camp NaNo, but it shouldn't take you guys too long to check every day and a short conversation or something if you feel like it.

-I don't know when it will end, that depends on how many people want to play.

-This is the same kind of thing that happened last year in October. Hopefully, I don't have nightmares for three months straight this time.

-Please, please join. Just say "I want to join" to join.

And that's all. If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask.

Sincerely,

The Omnipotent Narrator

I will most definitely attend this fictional ski lodge of doom.

I'm sorry it's so late! My mom dragged me off to go shopping! (See, even Omnipotent Narrators have to go shopping with thier mothers. It was boring.) So, without further ado,

Day 1

It's the middle of the summer, and temperatures have reached sweltering highs. Some beat the heat by drinking ice cold lemonade in front of a fan. Others lay around air-conditioned houses lethargically. And still others... go skiing. 

Saz: Actually, it's not hot at all in Australia right now.

Eleven kids meet up at a bus stop with enough supplies for a two week stay at a ski lodge.

Daffodil: This will be so fun!

Blonde Heroines Rule: I've never gone skiing in July before!

~Blue Fairy~: Let's have a pillow fight!

Melody: And karaoke! I've brushed up on my Disney songs!

Gollum: Oh boy.

Melody: What's that supposed to mean?

Gollum: Nothing. (I'm sure you're a very good singer, Melody...)

Miki G.: Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait. Aren't some of us already dead?

Theo W.: DEAD??

Don't worry. We have everything under control. A little resurrection and no one's the wiser. No need to start filing lawsuits. You signed your warranty, right? Right? *shifty eyes* "What warranty are you talking about?" you say? I have no idea what you mean by that silly question.

Red: Don't worry, just let the lawyers handle it.

Theo W.: Was that paragraph up there supposed to be reassuring? Because, believe me, it wasn't.

The bus arrives and takes the kids and their gear to the ski lodge. It stands at the top of a tall hill, without any other buildings surrounding it. The ski lift stands right outside the lodge. The kids exit the bus full of fine spirits, ready to begin a fun vacation.

The doctor: If I have to hear "Down in the Valley" one more time, I'll...

Ima: My feet are asleep!

Teresa: Aah! I just got snow in my pants! It's cold!

Yes, fine spirits indeed. Next begins the flurry of finding roommates. The pairings are as follows: (by the way, the rooms are all along one hallway and they are listed in the order they appear in, for you detective fellows) Teresa-Melody of the very long name, Blue-Miki, BHR-Daffodil, Gollum-Ima, Red by himself, Theo by himself/herself (funnily enough, no one was able to tell Theo's gender in person), and the doctor by himself/herself because, I'm sorry, I don't know whether you're a boy or a girl (I think you're a boy, but I'm not sure). 

Melody: I'M NOT SHARING A ROOM WITH BLUE FAIRY! WOOHOO!

Blue Fairy: Must you really do a victory dance? 

Miki: Should I be concerned about something, Melody? 

The entertainment today consists of skiing, eating crepes for dinner, prank calling family and friends, and then watching a movie. To avoid large fights about the movie, Inception will do nicely.

By the way, does anyone have any food allergies for me to *exploit* be aware of?

Yay! My own room!

I did leave the Lightsaber at home this time.  Not repeating that again.  Although it would be great not sharing a room with ~Blue Fairy~.  I'm typing this as she's sleeping in the bunk below me.:3

Hi! It'll be fun sharing a room with you! See you skiing.
