Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Doppelt Mansion!

 

You are sitting on a park bench one evening, reading a book and thinking. Two ladies come and sit down next to you, one on each side. With perfectly synchronized movements, they open their small purses, and take out two large notebooks.

The women look almost identical, and they are wearing matching long black skirts and red tops. One of them wears her coal black hair in a severe looking bun, matching her severe looking frown. The other woman’s silky raven black hair is long and loose, providing a perfect parallel to her relaxed, happy, expression.

The frowning one looks at her companion knowingly, and they stand up, setting their notebooks down on the bench, and picking up their purses. You almost say something about leaving their books, but decide against it, since they definitely know they left them. They walk off, arm in arm, and you look at them curiously.

After their gone, you pick up the notebooks they have left and flip through the pages. In them one word is written per page. If you look at them separately, they make no sense, but if you read one word from each notebook at a time, they form sentences. You take a piece of paper out of your bag, and transcribe the message

I, Dame Zwei, and I, her twin, Dame Sogar, invite you to the luxurious Doppelt mansion for a stay. We will we pick you and your guests up in two different locomotives with two different automaton drivers right outside your window tomorrow at two A.M sharp. The stay will include two grand ballrooms, two gigantic staircases, two wonderful swimming pools, two hostesses, and absolutely no murders*  You may bring two guests, AEs or Captchas. Please pack an even number of items. Ten people may join.

*Please sign voucher guaranteeing that you will not hold us responsible, legally or morally in case of any deaths.

Day Zero~ A ray of golden light drifts through the window, landing on a sleeping your  face, making it look almost like you are glowing. You roll over, and groan.

“What time is it?” You ask to the room at large, and getting no answer, glance at  where your digital clock should be. In its place, an intricate handmade clock sits. Instead of numbers, it reads things like “Tea Time” “AE crazy hour”, and “Time to Go”. The single hand points at the latter, and the you wonder momentarily what it’s talking about, before remembering that you have a Ski Lodge to get to. Waking up your AEs and/or Captchas, you grab your bags and skip down the stairs and out the door. Outside, two gigantic trains take up most of the street, and flood the entire block with a golden light. They are a rich black color, with golden accents, and the door to each of their cabooses is open. You and your Alter Egos are about to step onto the closest one, when a golden automaton blocks your path.

Please drop your counterparts off on Automated Train Two. Thank you for your patronage.” the automaton speaks in a female mechanical voice. You run your AEs over to the other one, and hurry to your train. Stepping on board, you admire the glamorous setting. The seats in black and gold, and have levers on them that, when pulled, convert them into beds. A warm light seems to be emanating from the walls of the compartment, and there’s a beautiful table covered in delicious food. The robot has disappeared, but an announcement is coming out from a hidden speaker.

Please be seated while the train begins portal jumping.” You grin at the realization that you're about to go through a portal, and take a seat. This is going to be exciting!

I love it so far, Dame Zwei! Keep up the story, for sure.

Bye Ash... See you when we get there.

Bye Ashlee. I'll keep Zeon in check, don't you worry." 

You guys will be fine. Now get on your train before the portal jumping begins.

@Brook. I'm including the second Captcha you wanted to bring, since I actually need one more Captcha/AE.

My AE, Fia.

My CAPTCHA, Muriel.

A portable library

My iPad/ earbuds/ speaker (can't go anywhere without a way to listen to Hamilton!)

Necessities like clothes, toiletries, etc.

I am so so so sorry I haven’t posted. I’ve been procrastinating something awful. @Brook. I’m going to call Masky a he for this, if that’s okay. @Kestrel, sorry, it's to late to join, but you are welcome to read, and thanks for asking.

Day One, Part One~ Darkness reigns over the large mansion in the countryside. A fledgling moon shines faintly, shedding barely enough light to show the outline of the house. Suddenly, a large bang rings out, and a golden light fills the perfectly manicured lawn surrounding the dwelling. The light illuminates a train track that almost certainly wasn’t there before, and a train chugs up the track to a small station at the edge of the well kept lawn. The train screeches to a stop, and the doors open from the inside. A girl steps out of the last car. She’s wearing brown leggings and a long blue top, and her furled brown and grey wings become visible. Another hops out behind her, and they walk towards the train station. A third girl runs to catch up.  

“I’m Brookeira. Hi.” She’s wearing jeans and Captain America shirt, and has long white blond hair, and green eyes.

“Owlgirl. Nice to meet you.” The girl with the wings gives Brook a small wave.

“I’m Kate-the-Great, but Kate is fine.” The last girl speaks. She has long brown hair in a ponytail, and is taller than the other two girls.

They walk towards the train station to wait for the other guests. As they reach the station, four girls exit the front compartment of the train. A pretty girl with black hair in two braids climbs out first, and smiles exuberantly.

“Hi! I’m Mei-Xue. This is Bookworm, Hermione, and September.” She grins at them again. They enter the tiny outdoor station, and see a girl with dark blond hair and blue eyes sitting at one of the benches clutching a bag. She waves at them while the robot driver hands each girl their bags.

“Excuse me, but where are the AEs? I don’t want to leave Russ and Sandra alone for too long. Bookworm pipes up as the automaton starts to return to the train.

“Their train will arrive as soon as this one has left. Please take a seat while you wait.” They stroll over to where the blond girl is sitting, and take a seat next to her.

“Hello. I’m Ashley.” The other girls introduce themselves, and Hermione shakes hands with her. They turn back to face where the train was, and it’s gone.

“Wow.” September is the first to speak. As they stare at the spot where the train use to be, there’s a sudden flash of light, and another train starts chugging it’s way down the tracks. It grinds its way to a stop in front of them. The doors open, and nothing happens for at least thirty seconds.

“GUESS WHO JUST GOT HERE BABY!!” Masked Piester bursts out of the doors to the train and shoots a pie blaster in the air in celebration. Grace comes running out behind him.

“They took my bag with all of my gummy bears! ALL OF THEM! And the rest of the candy!” She glares at the train menacingly as Mellie skips out.

“They let me keep my camera though!” She grins widely, and Hemin follows her out. The rest of the AEs and Captchas depart the train, and are handed their bags. The entire party walks across the lawn to Doppelt Mansion. It’s an elegant building, with grecian columns guarding the front entrance, and ten marble steps leading to the door. The AEs fight their way up the stairs first, followed by the CBers holding their Captchas. Hemin walks forward and bangs on the door, and it opens with a sinister creak. Expecting cobwebs and darkness, she steps forward into a enormous well lit entryway, where the two hosts stand expectantly.

“Welcome to Doppelt Mansion.” The first lady speaks. Her black hair is down around her face.

“I’m Dame Zwei.” The other one adds. Her hair is up in a bun with not a strand loose. Otherwise, they’re identical.

“And I’m Dame Sogar!” She smiles widely.

“The CBers wing is on the right.” Dame Zwei frowns at them.

“The AE and Captcha on the left.” Sogar gestures to the magnificent sweeping staircases on either side of her. September yawns broadly.

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to bed. ” She starts up the right staircase, and looks sternly at her AE before she disappears up the stairs.

“Sounds good.” Hermione follows September up the grand staircase.

“Goodnight All.” The hostesses nod at their guests, then exit the room. The CBers talk for a while, but one by one, they all drift upstairs. The AEs look around ecstatically.

“The CBers are gone! Let’s party bros!” Zeon yells in celebration. He’s wearing board shorts and a Hawaiian-shirt.

“I think not. There are signs posted with you room assignments at the top of the steps. I suggest you make use of them.” Dame Zwei appears and smiles grimly at them. The AEs start in surprise, and Quill smirks at her brother. Zeon looks around embarrassed, and creeps up the stairs. The rest of the AEs try to keep their dignity intact as they get up the flight of stairs as quickly as possible. Dame Zwei frowns severely at the last of the AEs as they flee up the steps. She then exits by the large doors in the back of the rooms. End of Part One.

Love it so far! Also pleased that you worked in me and both my AEs.

Yay, my first Ski Lodge! I'm also in my first RP. A lot of firsts! I'm glad I got to keep my camera. I can't wait to take photos of the extravagant mansion!

MY GUMMY BEARS!!! NOOOOOOOOO! I will get more. I WILL. I MUST! If they don't have any at the mansion, I'll just get some from the G Bear Black Market.

The G Bear Black Market?

Yeah, it has an online and manual branch.*gangster voice* Ya gotta know the right people, ya know? And you gotta get hooked up first before you try to buy. Even if I told ya where to find it, ya couldn't find it. Ya gotta get hooked up. I did a month ago. Ya see, I called a cousin who called a cousin who called a friend...

Okay, I don't need to know about black market candy dealing.
