Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You sit in
You sit in your classroom at school, bored out of your mind. You doodle mindlessly in your notebook as you stare into space. Your eyes dart around the classroom, looking for something, anything, to do. A flash of maroon outside the classroom door's small window startles you.
You jump out of your seat when the teacher's back is turned and race to the classroom door, which opens seemingly on it's own. Thank goodness that the janitor just oiled the door's hinges! You close the door quietly and crouch, looking for the source of the flash. Your eyes quickly zero in on the maroon envolope on the floor, expelling maroon glitter from it's flap.
You grab hold of the letter and a blast of maroon glitter hits you square in the face. You blindly open the envolope and, as you wipe glitter from your eyes, see a starch white note that reads:
Dear CBer,
You have been invited to stay in my luxurious resort, called Resort O'Booke, for as long as you wish... or as long as you stay alive. You will be treated to a suite which you do have to share with fellow CBers, CAPTCHAS, and AEs. This suite will have several studies, bathrooms, and private libraries, but only one sleeping area.
Will you accept my generous offer to stay in Resort O'Booke? I am eagerly awaiting your reply!
XOXO,
Paige O'Booke
P.S. Any murders are not the fault of me or my staff and cannot be charged to Resort O'Booke.
P.P.S. You cannot refuse this. The glitter will blind you in ne minute unless you say yes out loud.

Not even day one~
Paige O'Booke sat in the Town Library, listening to the clock ticking. She had been told by one of her servants that this was the CBer's favorite library to visit on Mondays like this, so she sat there, tapping her foot impatiently.
Finally! Paige O'Booke thought as the door near the front swung open around 5:00. A person who must have been Mei-xue strode in, followed by Hemin, Fudimo, and Xaiotuzi, who Paige had been told were her Alter Egos and CAPTCHA.
Paige wanted to stand up with a flourish and grandly introduce herself and her purpose, but when the foursome passed her table, she said quite flatly, "What took you so long?"
"Um... who are you, exactly?" Mei-xue asked. "Do I know you?" Paige O'Booke took this as an opportunity to execute the introduction she'd invisioned.
"You do not know me, but I am-" here Paige stood up, twirling her black cape with words written on it in white, "Paige O'Booke, queen of words, mistress of books, lady of grand introductions, and owner of the incredible Resort O'Booke. I am here to take you on the vacation I most generously offered you at my very fine establishment. You are the first to arrive at this library, so you shall be the first to witness the magic!"
Paige flipped her brown braid over one shoulder and flashed her emerald green eyes at the front door impatiently, rather annoyed that nobody had showed up besides the girl and her counterparts.
Just as Paige was thinking this, the front door blew open, and two more girls walked in, flanked by an AE and a CAPTCHA. Bookworm, Booksy Owly, Russel, and Sandra, Paige assumed. Eager to do her introduction again, Paige flashed an open palm at Mei-xue, who, along with Fudimo, Hemin, and Xaiotuzi, disappeared in a poof of maroon glitter. Paige flashed a winning smile at Bookworm and Booksy Owly, introduced herself, then, without letting either of them say a word, made them disappear too.

I'll join!
I'm bringing my AE, Chili, and my CAPTCHA, Finn. Chili is a weiner dog and Finn is a black aussie.
(June 14, 2016 - 7:21 pm)
I need more CBers to say yes!
Obey my faithful servant Bookworm's orders or else!
(June 14, 2016 - 7:27 pm)
Keep this topped when I'm at sleepaway camp next week!
Admins, do you keep changing Paige O'Booke to Paige O.? It's supposed to be Paige O'Booke.
I usually do, because if you look at the fine print beneath that field you'll see that it says "Last name initial only."

Yes, yes, yes!
(June 15, 2016 - 9:43 pm)

Keep this topped while i'm gone!

NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Kate-the-Great looked around the library, there was nothing and no one there except some maroon glitter drifting forlornly onto the carpet. "Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!", she wailed, "I'm too late! Paige O'Booke already left! Come on Ellak, let's go find her!" She, Brian, and Cardinal clambered up onto Ellak's back and took off...
Can I pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease still come??? With Ellak, Brian, and Cardinal???? I'd love to!!!!!
(Sorry about all the repeated punctuation. ;) )
(June 21, 2016 - 7:52 pm)
Yes, you will show up... in the end when it may or may not be too late...
(June 25, 2016 - 8:07 pm)
It is finally here, everyone!
Day one~
After the last CBer, Marie, had been transported by maroon glitter, Paige O'Booke herself dissolved into a maroon mist and reappeared next to the CBers and their counterparts, who had somehow ended up in a straight line. They were all staring at one thing: the resort.
The CBers and Paige O'Booke stood on a high cliff overlooking a sea blue lake behind them and a large grassy hill sloping down in front of them. at the bottom of the hill was a lush green valley dotted with maroon flowers and surrounded by foliage. In the valley lay four long, sparkling white buildings surrounding a pool with a miniature replica of the cliff n one end that clearly doubled as a diving board.
The first one to speak was Skylark. "Wow," she said, flapping her brown-and-black wings of a skylark and rising above the other CBers. "That is... it is..."
"Amazing," finished Will T.
"You haven't even seen the best of it," Paige O'Booke said, lips curling into a mysterious smile.
She lead the CBers down the hill slowly, allowing them to marvel at the picturesque resort. Once the group reached the bottom, a foot-tall person floating on a maroon cloud flew up to Booksy Owly and screamed "TOP!" straight into her ear.
Booksy Owly doubled over, clutching the sides of her head like she was battling a horrible headache, but when she stood up, she felt perfectly fine. Better than fine, in fact. Strength coursed through her veins, and she suddenly had a desire to run up and down the steep hill 1,947 times.
"What...?" muttered Booksy Owly, watching the foot-tall person as it floated away.
"That was a topper," Paige O'Booke informed the whole group. "They fly around aimlessly, mostly, but if they yell 'top' in your ear, all your strength will be restored, and you will recieve the topper's current strenght as well."
"I WANT TO BE TOPPED!" yelled Rufus.
"ME TOOOO!" yelled Sandra. All the AEs started to chant "TOP! TOP! TOP! TOP!"
Paige O'Booke screamed at them, "NOT NOW!" and all the AEs fell silent. "Now, then," Paige O'Booke said calmly, smoothing her cape, "Let's see where you're going to sleep."
She lead them into the largest building that was four stories tall, and told them each the suite they would each be sleeping in.
Green Suite-
Mei-xue
Will T.
Chili
He min
Marie
Orange Suite-
Fudimo
Xiaotuzi
Rufus
Sandra
Purple Suite-
Bookworm
Booksy Owly
Finn
Russell
Skylark
"The purple suite is on the top floor, the green suite is right below that, and the orange suite is just above this lobby. Don't get yourselves settled yet-the most fun part of our tour is about to begin."
Paige O'Booke lead the excited CBers and their counterparts out of the building they were in, called the 'Suite House', and into another building, called the 'Imagination Hall".
Inside the Imagination Hall was pitch black and there appeared to be nothing in it. Paige O'Booke explained that they could travel literally anywhere in time and space with a simple clap.
"Dinosaurs!" Rufus's voice rang out.
"Ice-cream shop!" called He min.
One AE's voice rose above everyone else's as she screamed, "Ice cavern!" at the top of her lungs. Everyone turned to look in the general direction of Sandra, who appeared to be flying a foot above everyone's heads on her bluebird wings. Everything was quiet for 7.69 seconds, then the AEs started chanting, "Ice ca-vern! Ice ca-vern!"
"Wait." Bookworm said, clutching her overgown inchworm, Russell, close to her. "Russell isn't- he can't- I mean- what I'm trying to say is that Russell might not be able to handle..." Bookworm rambled on as Paige O'Booke clapped her hands and the CBers were suddenly standing in a well-lit ice cavern. "...the cold." Bookworm finished, her teeth chattering and her pupils contracting. No sooner had she finished the sentence than Russel's green skin took on a blue hue.
"Russel!" Bookworm yelped, holding him tighter. "Someone, anyone! We need to get back to the Resort!"
CBers ran to the overgrown inchworm and the girl too late. Russell became completely engulfed in ice. Surprised, Bookworm dropped him, and he shattered against the cavern floor.
As Bookworm wept, the murderer smiled. Indirectly killing Russel was the first step to their master plan. Now to kill a CBer...

Nearly 1,000,000 miles away, in a whole different dimension, Kate-the-Great awoke from a nap with a fantastic idea. If it worked she would catch up with Paige O'Booke and her friends, but if it failed... Kate-the-Great didn't even want to think of the results. She immediately began to prepare.
-----
R.I.C., Russell. Rest in cavern.
Kate-the-Great, can you tell me the species and gender of Ellak, Brian and Cardinal? Thanks.
(June 25, 2016 - 9:33 pm)
Ellak is a robotic, golden dragon with a magic library in his belly. People can ride him, he loves books and is constantly quoting from them, and he is easily offended. He can shrink to the size of a cow, and in human form, he kind of glows. He is an AE.
Brian is a super annoying teenager whos very handsome. He loves teasing people, playing pranks on people, and insulting them, but somehow he always avoids the blame. His weakness is crystalized pinneapples and he idolizes Peeves. Hes very sly. He is an AE.
Cardinal is a cardinal, obviously, and she loves singing annoying and repetitive songs that tend to get stuck in your head. Her favorite one is Weasley is our King. When she is in human form, she has shockingly bright red hair that is unchangeable in any way (Example: die, new hair styles, wearing hats, it wont work). She is a CAPTCHA. Right now, she just said "dcux". No, CarCar, Im not in DC.
Hope this helps!!!

Yes, Kate-the-Great, this helps a lot!!

So sorry I haven't been posting! I typed my whole day two the other day and then this wifi upgrade thing popped up right when I was about to post it and it closed the window Cricket was on!
So, anyway...
Day two~
The next morning, the CBers woke up feeling like someone was watching them, and they all nearly jumped out of their skins when they realized that someone was, in fact, watching them.
Each CBer found either a man or a woman leaning over them in a black suit and tie, with blank stares on their faces. Skylark screamed when she saw her person, Will T. punched his person in the nose, Booksy Owly passed out, and Marie jumped a foot in the air and bumped heads with her person.
"Who ARE these people?" Fudimo screamed at Paige O'Booke when he entered another one of the four buildings, the Dining Hall, for breakfast.
"Oh, those are the admins." Paige replied casually, not looking up from the thick, leather-bound book she was reading. "They will follow you around all day, enforcing the rules, making sure you don't get hurt, and basically acting as your personal supervisors." Paige O'Booke snapped her fingers, and all the CBer's favorite breakfasts appeared on the table in a poof of maroon glitter.
"Ms. O'Booke?" Bookworm asked timidly, raising her hand. "Where... where's my admin?"
"Oh, you don't have one." Paige O'Booke said, still not looking up from her book, as if that explained everything.
"What are we doing after we eat?" asked the little chihuahua Chili with a mouthful of peanut butter slathered pancakes.
"We are going to the Imagination Hall to make up for the traumatic experience that happened yesterday." announced Paige. Bookworm bit her lip and said nothing. "We are going to the Chicago Theater!"
"Yes!" Bookworm yelled. "Can we preform the Phantom of the Opera? I love the Phantom of the Opera! I call Christine! The Phaaaaaaantom of the opera is there..." Bookworm sang as she skipped out of the Dining Hall, leaving her half-finished breakfast and her sorrows about Russell behind her.
-----
One hour later, Bookworm and Finn the aussie stood onstage, singing a duet from the Phantom of the Opera. Paige O'Booke was still amazed at how fast Mei-xue had casted everyone, and at how accurate she was.
During a scene change, Will T. suddenly sneezed, right before his cue to go onstage as Andre. He ran to the bathroom, sneezing 10 times a second. He searched and searched for a tissue, or toilet paper, or anything in the bathroom that he could use to blow his nose, but he came up empty handed.
The murderer entered the bathroom holding a huge rectangular tissue box. "Here, use as many as you like." The murderer smiled, holding the box out to Will T.
"Thanks," Will T. gasped as he grabbed two handfuls of tissues and pressed them to his nose. As soon as he removed the tissues from his nose, his eyes rolled back into his head and he stopped breathing.
The fake tissue lable peeled off the ordinary shoebox as the murderer collected the poison coated tissues that were strewn across the bathroom floor. As the murderer opened the bathroom door, they turned back to look at Will T. and a smile slowly spread across their face.
Another successful kill.
-----
Kate-the-Great had stayed up all night reading books from Ellak's library and had finally decided on her method of getting to her friends and Paige O'Booke. She had decided through her research that the only ways to another dimension were either by a portal (i.e. the maroon glitter) or by the topic all the books she'd read all night had revolved around:
The Bermuda Triangle.
I'll try to post more frequently from now on! :p
Feel free to guess who I am!
