Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You trip over something stuck in a crack in the sidewalk and bend down to see an envelope. Checking who it is addressed to, you see your name, which is odd, since you’re walking down to the bus stop, and you’re half a city away from your house. You open the glossy creamy envelope, bursting open an ornate wax seal. Inside are two pieces of paper, a lengthy letter written in neat printed handwriting, and a dirty note with only one sentence scrawled in messy cursive on it. You take the larger epistle, and begin to read.
"My dearest Angelica- Wait, is that how human letters are written? I’m rather confused. Let me start again. Save us Obi- No. That’s not right either. Captain’s Log, Stardate- Definitely not. Fourth time’s the charm? Dear recipient of this letter, or current resident, you have been selected because of your, shall we say unique personality, charisma and charm. Either that, or I randomly selected your address. Your choice what to believe. You are cordially invited to attend the social execution- sorry, social event of the year, at my gorgeous and antique mansion. (Is antique the word I want? Perhaps classic or vintage would be better. Your language's nuances are so subtle.) You and your AEs and Captchas shall be picked up immediately following reading this letter. Limit three AEs please, they can get a little flamboyant. No, I apologize, I meant rambunctious. Ha Ha. Anywhosit, Come stay at my mansion, three AEs and a Captcha, max, along with your lovely self, and I will let twelve people in, but if it takes a long time, we will start after eight. The locomotive will arrive shortly. Fare thee well, or any other appropriate greeting you may prefer."
You finish reading the letter, and suddenly, instead of a bus, a train pulls up to the bus stop. You hurry on, forgetting about the other paper. As you pull away from the bus stop, the note flutters past your window, and you get a glimpse of a single word. Help.

Top!

Nice intro! I will come with my AEs Anna and Lisbeth and my CAPTCHA Connie.
(April 27, 2017 - 6:16 am)
I'm coming!
I'll be packing, of course, a few notebooks just in case this is another murder mystery, and, of course, my ice powers.

Welcome elementgirl and Icy! I hope you will enjoy the rest of your pitifully short lives. I mean I hope you will enjoy your stay. Welcome to the Mansion Tenebras *Lightning flashes in the background.* Goodness, I must get that fixed. Tee hee.

Coming!
Bringing my short sword, books, my Æ Byann, and my CAPTCHA Darkfeather.
(April 27, 2017 - 1:04 pm)
I shall come, and I'll bring my cat and my really long sharp sword, cause why not.
(April 27, 2017 - 4:07 pm)
I will come, but this time I will only bring along my CAPTCHA, Amaryllis, who is a surprisingly verbal fox.
"epek" says Amy. This sounds epic? I agree!

Welcome Fireburst, Rae, and Shoshanna. I'm so glad you've come to die. I mean dine, at the illustrious, the celebrated, the delicious, sorry, delightful, Mansion Tenebras. *Lightning flashes* I really don't know why it keeps doing that.
(April 27, 2017 - 6:40 pm)
Ooh, this sounds interesting! I wish to join! I'm bringing me and my captcha LilyCat. (LilyCat is basically a shapeshifter who is either a cat or a nine year old with purple hair.)
(April 27, 2017 - 7:22 pm)
Oooo!!! I like the sound of this!
Ugh. Boring, stuffy mansions.
You have got to be kidding me, Fia. This is amazing!
Wow, Gossamer. I've never seen you get this excited about something.
Do I have to go?
No.
Yes.
Fine. I'll go just so Gossy won't be annoying.
*sigh* Please don't fight and embarrass yourselves while we're there.
I certainly will not fight. Unless provoked.
I can't make any promises.
*glares*
But I'll try *sullenly*
Good.
'meto'?
Yes. You can come, too, Fleetfoot.
'yaay'!
I'm coming with my AEs Fia and Gossamer, as well as my CAPTCHA, Fleetfoot. We're all female.
(April 27, 2017 - 8:05 pm)
Ooh, I'll be coming with my Æ, Alfred.
(April 28, 2017 - 12:30 pm)
Welcome Pepper Star, Kestrel, and Leeli. I'm just dying to meet you. That is an odd turn of phrase, don't you think? It's appropriate nonetheless. *Evil laugh somewhere in the background.* I believe there are four more spots available. Anyone who joins after that will be incinerated. I mean incarcerated. I mean asked not to participate. Tee hee!
(April 28, 2017 - 6:25 pm)
Tippity Toppity Boo!
(April 29, 2017 - 9:17 pm)
Oh, how exciting! I'm bringing a journal and unbreakable, infinite-ink quill pen; appropriately fantastical clothes (read: cosplays of Alphys, a Jedi, a Sith Lady, a Mandalorian warrior, teenage Melody from Crypt of the NecroDancer, a Vulcan Starfleet ensign, a medieval Marchioness, a Ravenclaw Quidditch player, a Minecraft creeper, etc.); my captcha, Koda; plenty of chocolate for the train ride; a towel (because you never know when a towel might come in handy); and...well, Di can speak for herself.
Su cuy, all, I'm Di, Curio's one and only AE! I'm bringing more or less the same stuff as Curio, minus all the costumes and plus a saddle for her. (No one else besides Curio should try to ride me, or they will regret it. You have been warned.) And Curio's cool steampunky clockwork wings, 'cause she forgot them. She's always forgetting stuff.
