Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You are sitting

You are sitting on your bed, staring out the window. You're parents have totally banned you from any socializing, even the CBer! All because you got FRAMED for stealing your little sister's toy dog! You can almost imagine your sister's smug face as she thinks about where she hid the dog. You finally get up and dress. You've decided to take a walk. As you tiptoe out the front door, a wind picks up and leaves start to swirl around. You head back inside. It's too cold. As you slip back into bed, you hear a slight crumpling of paper. An inquisitive feeling starts to grow and you feel around for the paper. You finally snatch it out from under the covers. In an instant, the light is on and you're reading the paper. It's an old-style piece of parchment.

Dear Special CBer,

You, yes, you, have been one of the twelve lucky CBers chosen to go on a vacation in FANTASYLAND! Fantasyland is the land where stories come true, good and bad. But don't fear the villains! Since the protagonists have defeated them in every story, none of them will harm you. Back to your vacation now. You will be traveling to the story headquarters where every story in existence is cataloged. You will be staying in the newly opened resort called Fairy Vacations Free! And yes, it is free! Except for custom-made popcorn. From there on, you will get to meet story characters of all kind! From Murtagh to Snow White! We will be having a ticket raffle for the 13th guest who is a V.I.P. You will also get to experience amusment rides of all kinds! The Harry Potter Duel Simulator is a fairly popular one. Also, there will be a swimming pool connected to a water park. Won't that be fun! Pack your bags and hop on either Thorn, Saphira, Shruikan (tamed of course and will seat two), Norberta, Nagini, a Thestrel, Blackjack, Snow White's carriage, Snowfire, the Knight Bus (will seat three)! A solo audience with the people who own the transport will be allowed too! You are permitted to bring one CAPTCHA, three AEs, and anything of your choice! RVSP on the back. 

Sincerely

The Fantasy Story Keeper

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, so, you may have noticed this is a ski lodge. OF COURSE YOU NOTICED THAT THIS IS A SKI LODGE! It's my first and I'm just writing off the top of my head so the writing might not be first-rate. The V.I.P. will be the murderer, coming without my knowing. One of the villains hijacked the raffle so that a murderer will come. But who indeed is the V.I.P.?

Day 4 - Part 2

~~~

The CBers were very excited for the dragon rides. Except the murderer. They were thinking something along the lines of How can I hijack a dragon? I could saw off its wings but people would surely notice. Quirker and Peggy chose twin dragons that were RainWings. Starseeker and Saphira let Destiny and Munnin ride on them.

Soon, the CBers were tired out by the dragon riding and stumbled back to the resort. Lunch was, since it was pi day, meat pies and and vegetable pies were laid out. A few pie blasters rested near the AEs' usual seats. "Oh yeah!" Diovald cried when he found those.

The AEs' corner quickly became a hazard zone because of flying pies.

~~~

After lunch, the CBers decided to all go to the amusement park. They left the CAPTCHAs and AEs behind. Quirker and Autumn Artist decided to try out the Fantastic Beasts Creator. They were having fun when Quirker suddenly had a need to use the restroom. "I'll be right back!" she called. Autumn Artist nodded. She went on to create a billywig.

Autumn Artist was still unaware of anything. The murderer crept up behind her. "Imperio," they whispered.

Autumn Artist got up. She walked along the sidewalk. Soon, she came uponn Quirker, coming back from the restroom. "Back so soon?" Quirker asked surprised.

Autumn Artist drew a knife and stabbed it into Quirker's arm. Quirker screamed and fell toward the ground. The murderer stepped out. "Now, you know too much," the murderer told her.

"Avada Kedavra," she whispered, barely audible.

Autumn Artist fell to the floor. Acting quickly, the murderer heaved Autumn Artist onto Quirker, and made her hand grasp the knife. Then, they placed their wand in Quirker's hand. The murderer smiled, satisfied. They disappeared into the shadows.

~~~

"TWO DEATHS!" Key yelled, staring at the scene.

Everyone rushed in. "Aren't one of them the murderer?" Starseeker asked.

"Yes, but which one?" the FSK questioned.

Everyone glanced at Autumn Artist. "Well, she's the one on top. She's probably the murderer," Destiny finally suggested. 

"No. All I care is about the murderer being gone. They should both have a proper burial. They were both valiant CBers," Shoshanna said firmly.

"But Sho," Mei-Xue started.

"I don't care," Shoshanna replied and that was the end of discussion.

~~~

At dinner, everyone was happier, considering the thought that the murderer was gone. "Now, no more people'll be killed!" Mystic Lion said happily.

The murderer smiled. Not yet. Just wait. they thought. 

~~~

Didya like it? I didn't do this part for a long time. Sorry! I was busy with some other things.

Day 5 - Part 1

~~~

In every room there was cacophony. The Innocents had a slight problem with parrots squawking and bird droppings. Oh, and water jets sprayed out of the ceiling at random intervals. The Villains had even more trouble. They had tons of weapons. Apparently, they were messed with with an animus. One of the swords kept saying, "Hi! I'm Surmabrander!"\

The Hero room was so dangerous, everyone didn't dare to go in. The beds, chairs, and sculptures were on strike. The beds were bouncing around, complaining about people bouncing on them and how that hurt their bodies. The chairs were in a formation, stacking to make rude gestures and words. The sculptures were banging everything they saw, including fellow sculptures. All of the CBers rushed downstairs, not bothering to go back in for their clothes.

~~~

"I hear that the rooms have come to life," the FSK cooly stated.

"Yeah, and we're not about to go back," Silverwaxwing exclaimed, hugging Lock and Key close. 

The FSK sighed. "This is my first time at the resort. I don't have that much experience," she confessed. 

"Like we didn't suspect that," Diovald snorted.

"Since, you're all up, breakfast is ready," the FSK said, helplessly.

~~~ 

The CBers all helped themselfs to breakfast and got up again. The FSK soon reappeared from a staircase. "An animus messed with the rooms. They're safe now," she said.

Some of the CBers glanced suspiciously at Starseeker and Saphira. They were dragons. They went back up to change. Starseeker found that some of her belongings were disrupted. She checked quickly to see if anything was missing. Nothing. She breathed a sigh of relief. If anyone had found . . . No, she mustn't think of it. But if anyone had found her shapeshifting amulet hidden in a pair of socks, well, the murderer would be even more dangerous.

Wait, there was something extra. A diary. Starseeker picked it up. She stopped, remembering Tom Riddle. But something about the diary called to her. She opened it up. There, lying on the page, was a beautiful green amulet. She reached out to touch it and . . .

~~~

"FSK, FSK!" Butterfly Fred came charging through the halls. "Starseeker is BEING murdered!"

"What?!?!?!"

Butterfly Fred led the FSK to the Innocents room, where Starseeker was twitching violently in spasms of pain. She fell to the floor, dead. Puck noticed something in her hand. A green amulet. She reached to pick it up. "What's this?" she asked.

"DON'T TOUCH IT!" the FSK yelled.

Puck stopped just in time. "This must've been what killed her," the FSK muttered. "Back to your rooms! All of you!" 

The guests huddled in their room, writing, and twiddling their thumbs. Two hours had passed. Finally, the FSK came into the room. She began to say, "I have something I must tell you . . ."

~~~

DUN DUN DUN! CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!! >:)

*sigh*... I knew this would happen. I have died. Oh well... at least I'm not the murderer? Ooh, I could be a ZOMBIE murderer! Wouldn't that be even creepier? But seriously, try not to die, guys. The murderer is still out there... DUH DUH DUH!!!!!!

Rest in peace, me.

But 2 questions:

1) when Butterfly Fred saw I was being murdered, why didn't he save me (or at least try)?

2) why was my stuff messed up? Dramatic effect, or did someone take my amulet? GASP DOES THE MURDERER NOW HAVE MY AMULET AND IS THEREFORE MASQUERADING AS ME?!?!?!

Probably not, but still, it would be cool.

To make things clearer for you, Starseeker.

1) Butterfly Fred is a butterfly, not a healer or something.

2) You wanted to make sure you still have your amulet and the real one is still in your trunk right now. It is.

Day 5 - Part 2

~~~

The murderer smirked, fingering Starseeker's amulet. So easy to steal something from the trunk after a person was dead. A flash of light appeared and in the murderer's place, stood a albino raven. It flashed back into the murderer. The murderer fizzled into the shadows of it's hiding place.

~~~

 The CBers sat down to a glittery lunch. Literally. Everything was covered with sequins and glitter. A glitter bomb exploded above their heads when they sat down. The AEs went wild, throwing glitter everywhere. At the end of the meal, the room looked like the inside of a disco ball. The CBers weren't too happy.

"Seriously!?" Elementgirl yelled.

"C'mon!" Esquire shrieked.

"Glitter!!!!" the AEs yelled.

Eight CBers went back to their rooms to clean up. The murderer sat on their bed. A new feeling was creeping over them. Was it . . . guilt? They shook it away. But it came back like a ghost. 

The murderer stood up, trying to get away from the haunting feeling. "Everyone, please report to the grand hall!" a voice boomed out from the loudspeakers.

~~~

"What's going on?" Mei-Xue asked, once they were in the grand hall.

"Well . . ." the FSK began, "we have a sort of . . . mistake."

The hall erupted into chaos. "Calm down!" the FSK yelled.

She began to speak again. "One of us here, is a mistake. Not the CBer meant to come. And he or she . . . is the murderer."

"But Autumn artist or Quirker is the murderer," Destiny protested, "they're gone!"

"Think, Destiny! How did Starseeker get killed then! And also, think about how easily the murderer could've framed them!" the FSK told her. 

"Oh," Destiny murmured after a moment of thought.

~~~

Everyone was, again, as dreary as a thundercloud raining Voldemorts. "We need to find the mistake!" Mei Xue finally said, banging her fist against the table. 

"Please go to the water park!" the loudspeaker bellowed.

Everyone stared at each other, perplexed. They mingled and went down.

~~~

"We have a surprise appearance by Percy Jackson!" the FSK yelled.

Gasps came up. "Really? Do we get to meet him? Has the wine dude come to?"

The FSK smiled and managed to say, "To answer your question . . ." before she was yanked into the shadows. 

"Where's the FSK!?" everyone yelled. 

"She's been abducted!" Destiny said, looking worried.

"Don't worry! I'm here!" the FSK said, stepping back out. 

There was something different about her though. One thing . . .

~~~

Dinner was quite fun. Percy Jackson paid a visit and splattered everyone with coke. Luckily, he turned it back at the last milisecond. Finally, at a late time, everyone retired to their rooms.

~~~

The FSK sat in a damp cell. The murderer stood above her. "You're lucky I need to maintain your command of the mini-komodos," they smirked.

"Mmm, mmm!" the FSK gargled.

Her mouth was gagged.

"I didn't need any polyjuice to impersonate you, Starseeker's amulet was too easy to steal," the murderer told her, and slammed the door on her, leaving the FSK to her thoughts.

~~~
