You are invited

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You are invited

You are invited to a Winter Ski Lodge Murder Mystery! 

Who: Everyone is invited to join. One of you is a murderer, but which one? 

What: This is a murder mystery. Every day, one person will die. Who is it? That's your job to figure out.

When: The game will begin on January 1 and end whenever it ends.

Where: The Ski Lodge. In other words, this page.

RSVP: I don't really care as long as you join sometime in December.

Various sundry rules and explanations:

-Each day I will write the story (probably in the morning or right after I get home if I have school). After that, you're welcome and encouraged to write your own view of the day.

-Big one: This isn't violent or gory.

-The motto: The funnier, the better.

-Basic geography does not apply. The Ski Lodge and Surrounding Territories more or less rewrites itself depending on how I want you guys to die.

-I don't decide who dies, so it's completely impartial. I pull everyone's names out of the Sugarbowl. The murderer comes out first (so I can keep track, really) and then I just draw a new name every day.

-Yes, the Sugarbowl is a Sugarbowl. I couldn't find a good hat the first time I wanted to do this and there is actually a skiing place in California called the Sugarbowl, so I thought, well, why not? It's more or less my Death Note.

-Pleeaaaassseee don't ask me to give you some long ridiculous name to put in the Sugarbowl. "Melody the Awesome Authority on all things Disney who is really Awesome" is so large, of course it's going to be pulled out right away.

-Like any good cartoon, logic and physics are overrated.

I hope you can join us.

-The Omnipotent Narrator

Oh, the sheer irony of the glitter death.

I'm going to murder all you little brats. I hate cleaning up glitter. I hate with a passion.

I hate it so much. I'm glad I'm not the only person who dislikes glitter greatly. Remember kids, if you see a giant pot of glitter, don't jump in it. Ever. And don't throw it at SC.

Thank you for teaching us all that glitter is a lethal weapon!

I wrote this at school (we were in the library to work on a project, but my partner wasn't there and she had our project so I decided to write Day 17 instead) but for some reason the captchas wouldn't show up. And if the formatting is all weird, blame Google.

Day 17

This morning was dreadfully, dreadfully cold, so the lodgers decided to stay in and watch a movie or TV show. 
Melody: I vote for a Disney movie!
Maggie: I suggest a Doctor Who marathon. 
Grace: That sounds cool! I've always wanted to watch Doctor Who!
SC: So, a Doctor Who marathon it is?
Several episodes were watched, including "Blink", "The Time of Angels", "Flesh and Stone", and "The Angels Take Manhattan". 
Gilraen: I never want to blink again. 
Red: Maggie? Are you okay?
Maggie: Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?
Skyler: You're not... blinking. 
Maggie: You saw the episodes. They're weeping angels everywhere. When we blink, they get closer. If I don't blink, I'll be safe.
SC: Hoo boy.
Red: You do that, while I go make lunch.

11:30 a.m. Operation: Don't Blink begins Tovah: Anyone want to place bets on how long she lasts?

Maggie: Anyone want to bet on how many of you get snatched by angels? I'm the only one keeping you safe.
12:30 p.m.
Gilraen: You're still going!
Maggie: Even if I don't have elf powers, I can accomplish some pretty amazing things. 
1:45 p.m.
Maggie: My eyes are starting to hurt. 
Grace: Uh-oh.
2:30 p.m.
Maggie: Think of Guiness, think of Guiness.
JLM: I can lend you some eyedrops.
Maggie: Sure, thanks.
BHR: Eye drops always make me blink.
Maggie: Ahhh! No! No eye drops!
3:45 p.m. 
Maggie: I feel like I'm going to dieeeeeeeee.
JLM: There, there. It's all right. I'll die for you, if you'd like.
Maggie: Um, okay?
BHR: At least it's entertaining.
4:05 p.m. 
Maggie: Can someone distract me?
Melody: Did somebody just open up a Disney song opportunity?
SC: Why, I believe somebody just did.
Red: Everybody wants to be a cat, because the cat's the only cat that knows where it's at.
Melody: Did you just steal my line?
Red: Just sing along! I've had this stuck in my head for a couple of days, and now I know all the words.
Melody: Everybody's pickin' up the feline beat, cause everything else is obsolete.
Red and Melody: A square with a horn can make you wish you weren't born every time he plays, and with a square in the act, you can set music back to the caveman days.
Melody and Skyler: I knew some corns who tried to sing, but the cat's the only cat that knows how to swing. 
SC: Who wants to dig a long-haired gig or stuff like that? 
Melody: Cause everybody wants to be a cat.
4:08 p.m. 
Melody: Everybody! Everybody! Everybody wants to be a cat!
BHR: Everybody! Everybody! Everybody wants to be a cat!
Grace: Everybody! Everybody! Everybody wants to be-
Maggie: Stop flashing all the lights! You're just making this worse!
Melody: Oh. Sorry.
4:32 p.m. 
Maggie: I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it-
Melody: Red, this is all your fault! If you hadn't started singing that song, we wouldn't have turned those flashing lights!
Red: Hey, it was Skyler who found the disco ball, and it would be a shame not to use it.
4:36 p.m. 
Maggie: I'm giving up. Goodbye, cruel world!
BHR: Noooooooooooooooo
4:37 p.m.
BHR: ooooooooooooo!
And! Maggie! Blinked! Dun-dun-dun! And nothing happened! Dun-dun-dun!
Tovah: Well, that was... anti-climatic.
Maggie: Oh? I'm alive? Haha! Stupid angels! I closed my eyes and nothing happened! I'll close my eyes and I'll be fine! Yeah, I'll close my eyes for a nice long time and nothing will happ-
Melody: Whoah.
Grace: What just happened?
SC: I blinked, and she was gone.
BHR: Well, that's... not creepy.
Rest in peace, Maggie. Rest in peace.

How can you perform Everybody Wants to Be a Cat without flashing lights?  If everything isn't different colors, you're doing it wrong.

 

How about the instrumental theme from Fantasmic?  Have fun trying to put that in the text.:)

Exactly! But it's actually really hard to not blink when your eyes are sore and people keep on flashing lights. For amusement, imagine which person is what character. I, personally, would like to imagine SC as Frou-frou and BHR as Billy Boss makes me laugh.

Once I can listen to sound, I'll type that out for you, but that may have to wait until Monday.

It's too long to do the whole thing, but here is an excerpt of: 

Fantasmic instrumental in text.

Woo wooo wooo (much woo-wooing here) BAA! Imaginatioonn, Imaginatioonn. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (lots of little fast bas) whir-whir-whir (some English lyrics and I can't tell what they're saying) BAA! Uuse your imaginatioonnnnn. Wheowheowheowheowheowheo BADUM! Bada bada ba baaa, badadum, bada bada ba baa, badadum...

I can't do this. Sorry, Melody, I can't write words to sound like music. I did the first minute. That should be good enough.

Day 18

Dear Melody,

Thank you for ordering services and goods through Google. Your ordered "Professional Assassination or Your Money Back (totally not Assassins R Us. Nope! Not at all! Nothing to see here! Move along, folks!)" will arrive shortly. While you wait, view videos selected by us based on your interest in "Cricket Magazine Chatterbox Murder Mystery".

Fantasmic Instrumental Theme 

Foxes Frolicking to Oscar Winning Songs [TEN HOUR VERSION]

Cats Doing Stupid Stuff

Humans Doing Stupid Stuff

Servant Of Evil Classical Version Which Is Very, Very Good; You Should Listen To It (But Listen To Daughter Of Evil First)

Remember, we're always watching you! We see you when you're sleeping. We know when you're awake. We know if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!

Much love,

The Google Team

Red: I wish Google sent me such creepy emails!

Gilraen: Oh, my. So... has anyone seen Melody?

(Meanwhile...

Agent E.W.: She looks a little familiar. Have we killed her before?

Agent Alpaca-chan: That's ridiculous! She's not Jem Louise Margaret after all, but I got her too!)

Grace: Did she really order her own assasination?

BHR: Maybe the murderer did. She always leaves her Gmail account open on her laptop.

Skyler: Well, well, BHR, how do you know that? Snooping around, are you?

SC: She kind of told us all yesterday. "Look! I brought my laptop so now I can play Disney songs morning, noon, and night! I use Google Chrome, but it's such a pain to log in and out each time I use it, so I just keep it logged in all the time." (Can you do that with Google Chrome? I don't know, but it seems like you would be able to.)

Gilraen: Yeah, Skyler, how come you didn't know that? Were you off snooping around yesterday, planning murders?

Skyler: I happened to be writing an English essay, but I find it very suspicious that your mind jumped to me immediatly! 

Grace: I bet SC did it! She's been so angry lately, ever since that glitter party.

SC: I bet Tovah did it, because she's quite evil. You made me clean the glitter up!

Gilraen: I bet Grace did it, because she looks innocent and it's always the innocent ones!

Red: I bet the butler did it!

BHR: I bet Red did it, he looks too happy. Plus, we all know he's been forced to pay for us. If he bumps all of us off, he could take our money from our wallets.

That's not a bad idea, actually.

Melody's ghost: *entering dramatically* I blame...! I don't know. Who do I blame? Who hired the assassins? Because whoever it was changed my profile picture, and I am not happy about that! Now, stand up, which ever one of you it was, and admit your crimes! 

Needless to say, no one admitted to being the murderer.

Melody: I can sing even while being dead! Whoo-hoo! This isn't the end of me, fellas!

SC: Excuse me, Ghostbusters? We have a situation here that we'd like you to come out and fix.

Rest in peace, Melody. rest in peace.

I'm so innocent.

(January 18, 2014 - 12:50 pm)

I don't have a gmail account or google chrome, but other than that, that was awesome and thank you for letting me be a ghost.

 

Since I am a ghost, can I please sing the opera solos from the Phantom Manor ride soundtrack?  I can't actually hit the notes in real life because of my inability to hit high notes (I'm am alto but I can hit tenor & sometimes bass notes.  These solos are like Soprano 0 range.), so it would be cool to see me hit them in a roleplay-type-thingy.  Also, it's really eerie & I think it would enhance the mood of the mystery.  I advise anyone reading the roleplay to listen to Phantom Manor Suite (composed by Johnny Debney, who also played a ton of the instruments in the recoding) while reading.  It makes it soo much  cooler.

The Phantom Manor Suite is like 11 minutes long, but is worth it! Mel always played it, and I now love it! Also, look up the story of Phantom Manor, it's sadddd.
