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

@Grace

The last two murder mysteries, TON had me singing random Disney songs at random times and this year he(?) let me pick a song for each day for me to sing.

That is random, awesome and weird.

So. I was.... bored yesterday. And instead of drawing what I probably should've been drawing (homework and stuff) I drew this:

The image is too big, isn't it? I think if you click on it, it will open in a new tab. I'm using the image posting site PostImage Nina recomended awhile ago.

So, Welcome to the ski lodge, everyone! 

 

Sorry, Theo, all that shows is a blank box.

Day 4

Alas, tragedy has struck our noble group of skiers. Our dear, darling, dainty, deadly, deep, defenseless, detailed, docile, dubious, dystopian--

Blue Fairy: Okay, we get it, you like the letter "d"! Can we move on with the story?

Teresa died dreadfully when a rabid wolf pack attacked her. Today was simply not a good day for Teresa. 

Melody: Teresa! Remember "Mother Knows Best"?

Teresa: After half a year of counseling, I managed to forget.

Melody: Do you know "Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Teresa: Umm... yes.

Melody: Excellent! I'll be Frollo, you can be Quasimondo, and let's go!

Gollum: I'm going to run away before I am scarred for life again.

BHR: I seem to recall *conveniently* missing "Mother Knows Best" and I think I'll *conveniently* miss this too!

S.E.: ... What's about to happen?

Melody: *grabs Teresa* The world is cruel, the world is wicked. It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city. I am your only friend.

Teresa: Why are you smiling so creeply???!!!

One Teresa-scarring later, the other innocents would never see the world in the same way again.

Tovah: ... Mama Mia.

Maggie: Teresa, run while you still can. 

During skiing, it seems that Teresa's ski partner managed to remain high and dry during the wolf attack.

Bounty: Is she dead enough for you, impatient Watermelon? 

Watermelon: Be quiet. 

SC: This was no accident.

Blackberry: How do you know?

SC: I put a camera on Teresa--

Ima: Whoa, SC, that's not creepy!

SC: I only put it on her after Melody's song! Geez! I wanted to see if she would be all right. Anyway, the cameras picked up incriminating evidence. The lead wolf wore a pink rhinestone-studded collar with the words "Fluffy" on it.

Red: Really? You all looked at me? Do I seem like the pink rhinestone-studded collar kind of guy?

Ivy: Well, actually--

Skyler: So that wolf was a pet? Gee, the name Fluffy is really original.  

SC: This means there is a murderer around.

Everybody collectively gasps. I always wonder how people can collectively gasp at the exact same time. Do people stand around with other people when they're bored and say, "Well, we're rather bored, so let's practice synchronized gasping"? Is there a class for it, somewhere? That should be a sport. "Welcome to the 2014 Olympics! First up, give it up for our synchronized gasping team! Watch them ooh and aah with a singular breath!" It makes just about as much sense as synchronized swimming, anyway.

Lizzy: Thank you, SC, for pointing out the obvious. It might have escaped our notice.

Being snowbound with a murderer is scary stuff, and on that note, let's see how Jem Louise Margaret is!

Here we are today on the scene in the laundry room, where JLM was recently spotted. So, JLM, how are you feeling today?

...

JLM denies to comment. So, how's the weather?

...

JLM denies to comment. How 'bout them sports?

...

Man, do you know how hard it is to interview a corpse? So, let's talk to some folks on the scene! Hi, Charlie, what's up?

Charlie: Wasn't she somewhere else the day before?

Grace: No, Charlie, because dead people just get up and walk around.

Gilraen: Hey, is it just me, or has she been stabbed in a different spot than the day before?

A number of girls ran screaming from the laundry room.

Corina: BHR!!! Did you kill Jem Louise Margaret?

BHR: No! Why do you keep on saying that?

Theo: Well, you do seem like the type...

BHR: Well, you know what, Theo? That giant sock Skyler found seems to fit a certain rabbit perfectly!

Melody: Oh, him? I named him Bunnicula. Isn't he adorable?

Theo: Yes. Adorable. Exactly what I would call that rabbit.

Wait... Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't my death somehow connected to a giant rabbit the last time this happened? I'm starting to feel a bit anxiety when around bunnies.

Yes! My evil plan is working! I mean *cough cough hack* I am terribly sorry.

Jalemming.  Jalemming!

Alright, now I shall have to get one every day at least once just for this. *giggles* I read them all during cleaning up after dinner (washing pots and plates, washing the table, cleaning the floor, etc.) and I kept passing into the ajoining room to put things in the fridge, laughing my head off and my two sisters would stare at me like I was crazy. "Corina, why are you laughing?" XD

I loved the Hobbitness of it! XD 

"BHR, did you kill her?!" 

submitted by Corina
(January 4, 2014 - 7:52 pm)

I would like to apologize to Teresa for scarring her twice.  

 

*thinks* Umm... Love from Robin Hood.  This should be funny.

(January 4, 2014 - 9:14 pm)

Apology accepted! I think last time was worse though; I can't listen to "Mother Knows Best" without imagining you singing it!

submitted by Teresa, Michigan
(January 5, 2014 - 12:15 pm)

Oh, I could just imagine Mel singing Out There with a creepy smile... She's a freak girl.

And I shall sleep in the same room that Mel is in soon... Should I be scared? Yes, very. I don't trust her.... Never shall I trust her again...

Since this is about murdering, I just want to say that my brother came upstairs earlier with a paper saying his stuffed bear funeral will be soon. He says he was demolished while wearing his favorite article of clothing: his leather jacket. Later, he came upstairs asking if anyone had a coffin...yes, a coffin! WHY WOULD WE HAVE COFFINS?!! He turned the basement into a funeral house. He also said that his bear will probably rise from the dead during the funeral. I also asked (in public) if it would make me less of a man (that I am not) if I cry. Gosh, this kid is weird! I said to my mom this might be his pass to the asylum.

So tomorrow I shall be attending the funeral of a stuffed bear. Fun times!

I was wondering that too.

He's 8, sorry, should've said that.
