Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
The wind blows
The wind blows in your face as you walk back from school, cursing the fact that you left your sweater at home. It isn't cold enough for the fleece that you have tucked in your backpack, but something to protect your bare arms would have been nice. You can barely breathe, the wind not giving you a chance to suck in some still air, so you turn and walk backwards instead. That's better.
In your moment of enjoying the usage of your lungs, you don't notice the black shape that was following you dart behind a tree. It is upset; now it won't get to have some fun. It tosses the knife it was holding onto the pavement, and you hear the clink and go over to investigate. You don't want to pick the weapon up, but as you look it melts into a scroll. You pick it up and read,
Hello, traveler! Many apologies that we could not frighten you with use of this knife, and had to give you a boring old scroll instead, but this might be safer anyways, don't you think? I am The Shadow Mistress, and I am here to welcome you to a cross-country tour of Europe in a special, one-of-a-kind moving castle!* We'll go to famous monuments, have scenic detours, and there will be NO pushing of people off the cliffs of Ireland!
Oh, and also, unfortunately, you have no choice but to go, because there is an assassin hiding behind the tree on your left who may or may not have another knife.
Have fun! Hope to see you there!
Not-So-Sincerely,
The Shadow Mistress
*Studio Ghibli copied off US, not the other way around.
You glance at the tree off to your left. Is it just your imagination, or is there a shadow lurking there?
You decide not to take chances, and go home to pack.

Elsa and Natalie,
Unfortunately, to keep it fair, all rooms were completely randomized and cannot be altered. We apologize for any inconvenience, but keep in mind that the only time you will be in your rooms will be when sleeping.
Day One will be up soon.

DAY 1
The Castle was a bit strange.
First of all, it just had a weird sort of automatic spookiness. It was the kind of place where ghosts lurk, doors slam on their own, and the shutters of windows swing open and shut without any visible force. In fact, that's exactly what did happen.
Plus, the CBers' so-called "guide," the Shadow Mistress, was nowhere to be seen. They couldn't have realized that she was the only one who could pilot the Castle, and because they were ignorant, it just added on to the original fright the place connotated.
And, lastly, where were their shadows?
The guests milled around the castle (not counting some AEs, who ran around screaming). It was devoid of all life, apparently, although multiple CBers swore they saw something dart by them out of the corner of their eye. It was empty, completely empty, and they were left to their own devices.
"LeT's plAY a GAme!" suggested Candy KING.
"Oh no," moaned Carolion.
"Like what?" said BABTMP, sounding rather bored.
"EAt CaNdY!" Candy KING offered.
"YES!" shouted PSXtreme, Torstyn, and Catrina.
"I want cakes," grumbled Pinkie.
"No, pies!" PSXTreme countered.
"Cakes!"
"Pies!"
"Cakes!"
"Pies!"
"CAKES!"
"PIES!"
"ALL CAKES ARE PIIIIES!"
"Wait, what?"
Then, after a moment, it dawned on PSXtreme. "Ooooh. I WANT CAKES TOO!"
They quickly started up a chant of "CAKES! CAKES! CAKES!" which was instantly quenched by the sane counterparts.
Right as a full-out Alter Ego riot was about to begin, the Shadow Mistress arrived. "It's later than I expected; we might only be able to do one or two things today," she said. "The Castle moves incredibly slowly. I apologize."
The Alter Egos groaned.
"So today, I think we'll go to London. And the first stop is a nice taste of the whole thing: the London Eye, the magnificent Ferris wheel!"
The drawbridge creaked slowly down again, and the guests made their way out. The Castle was parked right in front of the entrance to the Eye.
"Please enter the cabins according to Room," said the Shadow Mistress. "Pavlavla, you may join the Red Room for this ride."
The CAPTCHA skipped happily over to join her twin.
With the commotion of boarding (and complaints about cabinmates), no one noticed the murderer slip away from their room.
The London Eye was magnificent. At the peak of the ride (which went very slowly, so you could see all the sights), London seemed to strech out around you. It was absolutely breathtaking.
"tHiS iS BorInG," Candy KING complained.
The Shadow Mistress had her own cabin of the ride, seemingly alone. Glancing around, the murderer knew that they were safe.
Hands tapped a back, and before the victim could even scream, she fell to the ground.
"CHO!" shouted Cordana, and the Purple Room's inhabitants ran over to the side. There lay Cho Chang, her body broken.
From the first cabin seemed to come what was a disruption of the light. The Ferris wheel made its circut down again, and once the CBers were assembled, the Shadow Mistress told them Cho was most certainly dead.
In the back of the group, the murderer giggled.

Can you make me an evil character in this, or something??? Please???
(I wasn't on when it was posted, or I would have joined. :( :( :( )
(June 2, 2016 - 2:11 am)
Of course. I'm dead already. Thhhpppttt. Ohzewell.
(June 2, 2016 - 10:42 am)
CHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
*Sniffles* You're one of our favorite CBers!!!
Not to mention HP charries!!!
As an AE maker though.... Not my fave.
SHUT UP TORSTYN!!!! OUR FREIND JUST DIED!!!!!!
*Sobbing from us all*
(June 2, 2016 - 7:47 pm)
I would hug you, and slap Torstyn, but I'm a ghost here now. Thhhppptt. Thank you for your concerns, though.
(June 3, 2016 - 8:16 am)
Wow, I got a room with all relatively normal people! Er, minus one, of course. Well, accidents happen...
(June 2, 2016 - 6:18 am)
I'm the only CBer in my room! AHHHH!
HAB, is Sandra the one who isn't normal? 'Cause I kinda hid her weapons bag in my room...
YOU DID WHAT????
Gotta go!
(June 2, 2016 - 3:02 pm)
Apologies-- there will be no new post today. I can guarantee one tomorrow, however.
(June 2, 2016 - 7:04 pm)
Saphira: Wait, does this mean that Thorn's gone too?
Saphira! Be nice! Someone just died!
Tara: Oh, dear, someone died! The knights code requires that I avenge Cho Chang's death! Murderer, you had better watch out.
Luna:*iyay. Are you done playing the hero now?*
Oh my goodness. This is ridiculous. Luna recently said iyoy. What are the odds?
(June 2, 2016 - 7:38 pm)
Unfortunetly, Thorn did not come on this ski lodge, due to the sad fact that he was not created then.
And Tara, I thank ye for the noblest offer, but ye muste not do that, as it woulde be risking thy life for mine, and I am already gone, gone far, far awaye. Ye must protecte thy CBer and companions with thy life. I entruste thee to grant me this one laste boon.
(June 3, 2016 - 8:32 am)
*Sniffles* Bye, Cho Chang.
What?! Cho Chang died? Hā lì will be so upset! He's dating her.
*Rolls eyes* Hemin, this is the CB. Not Harry Potter book 5.
Oh, joy! That stupid girlfriend of that Potter boy is gone! I do hope I am the murderer.
Fu-di-mo, someone just DIED! Show some sympathy.
Also, for the last time, THIS Cho Chang is not a Hogwarts student, she is a CBER!!!! And I'm submitting this now.
(June 2, 2016 - 9:49 pm)
BAAIII, Mei! I'm fine. I'm just glad I didn't murder Pinkie or Elsa. Torstyn would have been thrilled.
Yea, thx, Hemin. I don't have any 'Ha li' in my life. Thanks.
And Fu di mo, if you ever join a ski lodge of mine, you'll probably be the first dead. No biggie.
(June 3, 2016 - 8:35 am)
Hèmǐn: But you and him were kissing in the fifth--
Hèmǐn, we know you know she's a CBer and not your friend's girlfriend. Stop it.
Fúdìmó: I have Horcruxes! I cannot die, Miss Chang!
