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 watched the video of Mother Knows Best while imagining you singing and performing it with Teresa... and... I kept it together until the part on the stair. "MOTHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH KNOWS BEST!" I will never be able to watch Tangled again without thinking about this.

Thanks you, T. O. N. First I have to clean the kitchen and then I have to clean the bathrooms. I see bad things in my future... probably whiile I'm cleaning. But, you know, some one has to do the bathroom work. And maybe everyone will just leave a mess on the counter and I won't have to worry about anything other than that!
This kind of reminds me of Lemony Snicket....

Oh, also, bloodstains are easy to take out of clothes with cold water. Everything else, not so much.
(July 9, 2013 - 4:47 pm)
Are we doing the thing that we did last year where sometimes the participants would add a post in their point of view as well if they wanted?
(July 10, 2013 - 10:38 am)
Yeah, go ahead.

Day 4
Alas, tragedy has struck our humble ski lodge. Our good friend the doctor has tragically fallen at the hands of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The doctor was spending a good hour in the library after lunch when he heard an ominous noise. Turning around, he (I'm sorry if you're a she) saw an alarmingly high shelf of books crashing down upon him. The instant before he was buried in the books, he saw the grinning face of the one who had pushed the shelf....
Gollum: All in all, that's not really a bad way to die.
Melody: Well, it's easy to get bloodstains out of clothes, but books are another story.
Theo: THE DOCTOR'S DEAD! HE'S DEAD AND YOU GUYS AREN'T PANICKING???? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ALLL????
Blue Fairy: Theo, we're not exactly calm here, but-
Red: -But you're panicking enough for ten of us.
Who could have commited such a crime?
In other news, Sir Jem Louise Margaret III was found stabbed by Daffodil (again!) (Found by Daffodil, not stabbed by Daffodil. That wasn't entirely clear.) in the basement.
Daffodil: I-I-I-thought-thought- Red, I though you put her in a closet yesterday!
Red: I did. I guess she relocated.
Theo: OH MY GOSH, THERE'S A ZOMBIE LOOSE IN THE SKI LODGE!
BHR: Someone say zombie invasion? I'm all ready! Let's see, do I have all my gear? Nerf Gun, 52 packs of beef jerky, a deck of cards, 2 cans of fruit cocktail, 7 cans of beans-
Teresa: What kind of beans?
BHR: Pinto. 3 flashlights, 27 jars of SPAM-
Red: SPAM? Eeew.
BHR: That's to throw at the zombies to distract them.
Blue Fairy: She's not a zombie! Sheesh!
Gollum: After giving the matter intense scientific investigation, we have decided that she comes to life every day, gets stabbed somehow, dies, and hten comes back the next day.
Ima: "Intense scientific investigation?"
Theo: THIS VIOLATES ALL THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE! THIS GOES BEYOND ARTISTIC LICENSE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?
BHR: Uhh... Theo? You okay?
That night, over dinner, Melody decides to teach the younger members of the ski lodge trip all about the food groups.
Daffodil: I'm not an imbecile, I already know the food groups!
Melody: Veggie veggie fruit fruit. Veggie veggie fruit fruit.
Gollum: Who's up for a speed-eating contest?
Much later....
Melody: Sparks always fly, each and every time you try, fruit and vegetables. They're inviting and delighting, anytime you're with them it's a treat, like a carnival. It's nice to dine with fruit and vegetables.
Miki: Anyone want to try boycotting fruits and vegetables?
Ima: I can't do that, I'll starve!
(July 10, 2013 - 12:11 pm)
OMIGOSH, YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED UP VEGGIE VEGGIE FRUIT FRUIT. YOU ARE SO AWESOME. OMG KITCHEN KABARET.
(July 10, 2013 - 8:11 pm)
Ooh! I know what Melody should sing! "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame!
...Just kidding. Mostly.
(July 10, 2013 - 12:19 pm)
@Ima
Is that song really appropriate for the CB?
(July 10, 2013 - 8:14 pm)
...Possibly not. Even though the movie was technically G-rated.
Sorry.
(July 11, 2013 - 11:38 am)
Are we holding funerals? 'Cause we didn't last time, and I think it might be a good idea to put these souls at rest. And Melody could sing a tribute song.
(July 10, 2013 - 8:08 pm)
Well, my pseudonym is Melody *rimshot*
But seriously...
*clears throat*
I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost
And drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up
You have somewhere to turn
(Admins, that's Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon. Thought I should mention that for copyright's sake.)
Thanks for noting that, Melody. I love the music from Pete's Dragon. I haven't thought of it for years.

@Ruby... I mean T.O.N.
I actually found an Mp3 file of Veggoe Veggie Fruit Fruit on a Disney fan site (I believe it was WYW [Widen Your World]) and transferred it to my iTunes and listen to it almost every night before I fall asleep and yeah I have this really bad obsession with the song and old Epcot in general. I'm really sorry if you've read my ramblings this far.
(July 10, 2013 - 8:19 pm)
@Melody: Hunchback of Notre Dame is rated G, isn't it? And I just watched the song. Despite the title, I don't really think there's anything inappropriate about it.
@Gollum: That's probably a good idea... However, if the souls go to rest, how can we have the ghost's commentary? And what if we do another one, eventually? How would people be able to come back? (Hmm, is that why you guys came back? To exact revenge on Red?) However, if I find a good enough song for Melody to sing, then it might happen.
Whoah, captcha said near!

We can improperly embalm them so they don't die properly. Or we can just have a cryogenic freezing ceremony. I take it the location will supply the ice.
