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

TON is Ruby, I am almots positive, because he* did the last one.
*Ruby Moon is a male psuedonym, isn't it?

I knew it! I can officially trust instinct... somewhat. BUT OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO GREAT!!!! I loved the whole thing! I read it to a friend, and they laughed so hard, especially at my death. That is not disturbing at all. But definitely write another one!!!!
(July 20, 2013 - 12:48 pm)
I'm Ruby. I thought everyone knew that. (I really wasn't trying to keep it secret!) And yes, Gollum, Ruby is my male psuedonym. In other Ruby Moon gender related news, I am convinced that Ruby Moon from CCS is male, no matter what the CCS wiki says.

Day 14
Thank you very much for reading this murder mystery! Now for the credits roll.
Story by The Omnipotet Narra-
Blue Fairy: NO, NO, NO! STOP THE MUSIC!
BHR: Huh? What's wrong, Blue Fairy?
Theo: WE'RE ALL DEAD AND OUR PARENTS ARE EXPECTING US TO COME HOME TODAY! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TELL THEM?????
Miki: I find a rather effective method is just saying, "Hi, Mom and Dad. Things happened, and yeah... I'm kind of dead now! But don't worry! I'm still the old me! Just more... transparent."
Red: I told my mom that, too. She took it rather well, considering. She just looked at me funny and said, "Was anyone else involved in this?" So I told her, "yes" and she asked "Anyone I know?" I told her "no" and she asked, "Anyone who would file a lawsuit against us?" I told her "no" again and then she said, "Well then, that's all right."
Ima: What kind of family do you have?
Teresa: How are we supposed to tell our friends?
Red: All of mine were okay with it, but that could be because of the fact that they are all ghosts as well.
Gollum: What kind of friends do you have?
Daffodil: I can't wait to pull pranks on Joe!
Blue Fairy: That is exactly the problem.
Daffodil: What is? Pulling pranks on Joe?
Blue Fairy: No! The fact that Melody, my sister, is a murderer! We sleep in the same room! What should I do???
The doctor: You're already dead. What can she do to you?
Blue Fairy:.... Hmm. Good point. WAIT! THAT'S NOT THE POINT! SHE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN! FOR THE SAKE OF TRUTH! JUSTICE! AND STUFF LIKE THAT!
BHR: Point taken. Let's take this meeting to your house, Blue Fairy.
Blue Fairy: What good is that going to do?
BHR: We can watch the enemy and gather information on her!
The Melody-Blue Fairy house, near Boston, Massachusets. Melody is relaxing on the couch. Her parents are not home. Just then, the doorbell rings. Melody answers it.
Melody: HOW DID YOU FIND OUT WHERE I LIVE?
Agent E.W.: It was really hard! There are a lot of houses near Boston! We finally found it by seeing all the ghosts going into the chimney.
Teresa: I knew it wasn't a good idea to hide in the chimney! Whose idea was that?
Ima: Wasn't it yours?
Melody: That's great and all, but what are you doing here?
Agent Alpacachan: We'e looking for Jem Louise Margaret!
Melody: What makes you think she might be here?
Agent E.W.: There were more than ghosts in your chimney.
Theo: HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE????
All of the (now sooty) ghosts and Jem Louise Margaret fall out of the chimney. Agent Alpacachan promptly stabs her.
Agent Alpacachan: Ha! You fell for our trap!
Melody: What???
Agent E.W.: We've been hired to take care of you! Jem Louise Margaret was simply a decoy!
Melody: WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
Blue Fairy: That is not my sister. That is not my sister. That is not my sister. That is...
Agent Alpacachan: Oh hush, munchkin. It's not going to hurt. Agent E.W., you take care of her.
Agent E.W.: Why me??
Agent Alpacachan: Are you an assassin or not? The past two weeks, I've been doing all the work!
Agent E.W.: ... Fine.
Agent E.W. pulls out a blowdart! Everyone gasps! He shoots a dart at Melody! Everyone gasps! Melody falls unconcious! Everyone gasps!
Agent Alpacachan: Oh stop gasping, you weird ghosts.
Agent E.W. pulls a small vial of something out of a mysterious black bag and inserts it in a syrgine. Everyone-
Agent Alpacachan: No more gasping!
He sticks the syringe in Melody's neck. There is a dramatic pause. Everyone gasps.
Agent E.W.: Well, that's that I guess.
Melody's ghost appears.
Melody: Oh rats. Now I'm a ghost again.
Blue Fairy: Hellooooo sissssterrrrrrr.
Theo: Blue Fairy's lost it! Run away!
BHR: Uh, would you look at the time! I'm supposed to be back in Florida! Well, see ya later, everyone!

The End.

Aww... You took away my one claim to fame, lol.
Also, I literally gave Blu the nickname 'Munchkin' yesterday, so that was a little creepy. (The nickname's meant to be ironic because she's taller than I am and I'm above average height.)
(July 20, 2013 - 11:19 pm)
Munchkin is Agent Alpacachan's favorite term for people. The reason she is an assassin is because she's so completely un-assassin-like in real life. She's a vegetarian, she loves animals (especially alpacas), literally everyone calls her by a nickname, she's the most innocent teenager alive, etc., etc. Oh, and she calls everyone munchkins.
(July 21, 2013 - 1:02 pm)
Ah, I see. Well, thanks for the laughs.:)
(July 21, 2013 - 1:39 pm)
I really did tell my family I'm dead. They nodded like this was an every day occurance. But I guess since I used to decapitate Barbie dolls and chuck 'em out the window at the neighbors, my death really wouldn't bother them...
(July 21, 2013 - 3:25 pm)
That sounds like fun. Sadly, I've never had the opportunity to decapitate Barbies. Someday my time will come.
I told my mom, "I died again!" and she didn't even look at me, she just said, "Was someone else involved?" I literally started laughing so hard I had to sit down. She stared at me strangely and said, "Was it someone I know?" which just made me laugh harder. Ruby, you know my mom way too well.
(July 21, 2013 - 4:40 pm)
It is fun! It really is! Especially when a teenage guy walks by when you throw them out, and he just stares up at your window, which you are hiding underneath, laughing so hard, you think you might die.
Cappie says hate. Well, I guess decapitating Barbie isn't everyone's cup of tea.
(July 21, 2013 - 6:50 pm)
That reminds me of the time when I went into my backyard and noticed a ball in it. My neighbor on the left has a dog, so I thought the dog was playing with it, so I threw it over the fence into my left neighbor's yard. Literally seconds after I did that, two teenage guys in the yard behind me (Where they have no kids, I might add!) looked over the fence and asked if I had seen a ball. I shook my head no (how are you supposed to explain that? "Yeah, I threw it over that fence over there"?) and they said something to the effect of "That's funny, I thought it went this way."
The Captcha says ivvy. That would make a good name for the Captcha.

I can't find the older murder mystery! Could somebody post a link to it?

There you go! Who has been trying to top it?
(July 22, 2013 - 5:32 pm)
That would be me. I was searching for the old mystery, because I wanted to see how it was done. I thought it would be a good idea to top it so everyone can see it. As you can see, it did not work out.
(July 22, 2013 - 7:33 pm)
Good idea!
