You wake up

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You wake up

You wake up at 4 am, trudging to the kitchen, realizing the time, you sigh. Well, you think, I guess I won't be able to get back to sleep. You get out some cereal, and pour it in a bowl. You walk to the fridge and open it. Looking around for the milk, you notice a small envelope closed with wax. Opening it, you begin to read.

Dear CBer,

You have been chosen to to spend five weeks at the Ice Cave Hotel, a rare opportunity. Departure time is 3:00 pm, at the nearest train station, on the 10th of October. Please specify if you are bringing any CAPTCHAs or AEs.  

NOTICE: We are not responsible for any deaths or injuries.

Sincerely, 

The Ice Dragon

P.S. Bring warm clothing.

You pack your belongings with excitement, and forget about the cereal.

A frosty looking ski-lodge... let's do it!

Name: General Waffleson

AEs You Are Bringing: I think I'll bring Rosemary this time.

No way. No dying for me!

Oooor not. Just me then.

CAPTCHAs You Are Bringing: Kilp, my toucanicorn (toucan + unicorn) CAPTCHA. 

Personality: I don't initiate coversations much, but as soon as I start talking it's hard for me to stop. I often make up words and yell them at random, because why not. I talk to myself a lot, usually when I want other people to hear what I'm sayng, but not wantng to actually say it to them.I'm pretty crazy, if you haven't noticed. Ummmm... Oh yeah! I'm a nerd of gargantuan proportions, and make constant references to stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, Video Games, TRON, Docto Who, and so on, and so forth.

Appearance: I have medium-length dark brown hair and green/gold eyes. I will also be wearing my wafflesteel coat (cause it's gonna be cold up there!) and blue jeans. Also my feet are absolutely massive for some reason. 

Favorite Genre of Music (Don't Ask): Oh, do I have to pick one? Hmm... I like alt-rock, whatever genre FOB and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are, and 70's-90's groovy music like Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac and all that jazz.

Belongings You Are Bringing: A large supply of bubble gum, my fez, a cardboard box, twelve muffins (blueberry of course), my ipod loaded with about 3 gazillion songs and artists with purple earplugs, and my portable gaming system ( A slightly modified Gameboy Advanced). 

SIDENOTE: That fez I was talking about is a lot like Newt Scamander's breifcase with the whole 'bottomless case with a muggle-worthy switch' thing. I store all of my stuff in there. 

Kilp says pexg.

I... don't know what that means.

Name: Starseeker

AEs You Are Bringing: Zoey, my female winged AE.

CAPTCHAs: none that I'm bringing

Personality: can be a little shy before I warm up to you. But in times of trouble I am a great leader. I am funny and a little self-deprecating at times, but I'm pretty self confident most of the time.

Appearance: Well, I am usually a arge black dragon, but that tends to alarm people. So for the purpose of this Ski Lodge, I will have my AE, Zoey, enchant me to be a human female, about 5' 4''. I will have shoulder-length dark purple, pretty much black, hair, with loose curls and an angled cut along the bottom. I have pale skin and vibrant purple eyes that you could get lost in. 

Favorite Music Genre: Is cello a genre? Cause I really like cello music. If not, then old songs. Like songs from the Beatles, U2, etc.

Belongings: Nothing besides the clothes I'm wearing and an inconspicuous black bag. Inconspicuous, that is, until you look inside. It's pretty much bottomless. It has everything you could ever need inside of it. It also has a charm on it that makes it super lightweight, despite its contents.

Prologue: 

Each CBer stood by the nearest train station, a suitcase of their possessions and their AEs and CAPTCHAs by their side. A navy blue train pulled up, Ice Express written on the side. A person  who appeared to be about 18 stepped out.

"Welcome to your transportation to the Ice Cave Hotel! I am known as the Ice Dragon, but you may call me simply Dragon," They said.

Picking up your luggage, you make your way to your compartment, not knowing what will be in store for you.

Day One-ish

The train came to a stop at a station at the foot of an enormous mountain, covered completely with ice and snow. 

"This way, please," said Dragon, walking towards a carriage that seemed to be made out of ice.

The carriage begins to move, up a thin path on the mountain. It comes to a stop at the entrance of a giant cave. You notice a sign that reads, Ice Cave Hotel in bold letters. You walk along the cave and come to an old-looking door with a dragon painted on it.

"Welcome to the Ice Cave Hotel! There is a room for you, and your AEs or CAPTCHAs, if they came, right over here!" She gestured towards a hallway lined with torches. "The torches don't melt the ice, if you were wondering. Oh, and we'll have dinner at six o clock, but now you'll have time to settle into your room."

You go to your room and unpack your stuff, examining the room with curiosity.

This is all I have time to write, and I'll try to write at least once a day, so farewell for now, everybody!

Day One

The CBers stood in the dining room, underneath a giant crystal chandelier.

"Ahem, welcome to the Ice Cave Hotel, everyone!" Dragon accidentally knocked over a bouquet of ice-crystal flowers. "Oops. Heh. Anyways, for dinner we will be having... Spaghetti! And for dessert, ice cream!" 

Dragon snapped her fingers, and several platters of spaghetti came floating in to the room. Pepperstar dug in, not noticing the light coating of white powder on her spaghetti. 

"This spaghetti is delicious!" Exclaimed Quill.

"Glad you like it, it's the cook's speciality," said Dragon.

Unexpectedly, Pepperstar fell face first into her spaghetti.

"Erm... Are you ok?" Cilantro asked, nervously twiddling with her fork.

Pepperstar rolled over to her side at the first touch.

"Dead," said Dragon. "Shame she died before dessert. Anyhow, please go back to your rooms, it appears we shall not be having dessert, there may be more poison in the food. I doubt it was the cook, I've known them for years." 

The rest of the Chatterboxers and their AEs grimly walked to their rooms, casting suspicious glances and muttering to themselves. Cass frowned to herself. Who could've done it? She thought. I'd better look around for any suspicious activity... Instead of going back to her room, she went down a dimly lit hallway. She noticed an open door, and a bright light coming out of it. Cautiously opening the door, she stepped inside. 

"Weird," she muttered . "There's no one in here."

"Oh, but there is," a voice behind her said.

"You put the poison in Pepperstar's food?" 

"What do you expect?" They said, locking the door.

The killer lunged at her, attempting to cut her throat. Cass easily sidestepped them, but stumbled over a stack of books. The killer quickly slashed a cut in her neck. Blood began trickling out. The killer smiled coldly, as they dragged her body to the closet.
