Sitting on the

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Sitting on the

Sitting on the windowsill, the CBer felt something wrong. Perhaps it was a shift in the breeze, or a change in the light. They sprang up, as alert as a cat, staring into the moonlight. And . . . no, nothing was wrong. But a shadow passed over the moon. There it was! Feathers. Dark blue feathers. It was a nightingale.

The CBer ducked as the phantom nightingale swooped silently into their room. It came to a rest on the bedpost, and faded away, as if a spectre. The CBer cautiously moved to the spot where the nightingale had been. There was an envelope. The CBer let out a small gasp.

The seal of the envelope was stamped with the crest of a raccoon. It couldn't have been any more extraordinary than any other envelope, but the crest glowed. The CBer slowly opened the envelope.

Dear Night-roamer,

The Nocturnal Express has been going very well. I'd like to invite you to a stay. You may bring twelve friends. Forward this envelope to them, and please inform them that they may bring pets or alter egoes. Make sure to warn them of the dangers. And tell them to bring luggage.

Sincerely, The Director

Fill out the following. You have no choice. You are one of the twelve I chose.

The CBer keeled over in shock. What was this all about?

Pretty self explanatory, this is a ski lodge, and you have to fill out the form in order to join. I'll only accept twelve people.

Reserving a spot!

Can I bring a weapon? What about a captcha? Is this going to take place on a train?

Can i join two ski lodges at once? welp, the other one's almost ended anyway.

Name: Nighthawk 

Age: 14

Appearance: oh goodness, let's see if i remember. Very short curly brown hair, gray eyes, doctor who sweatshirt, galaxy t-shirt,dark denim overalls cause why not, black leggings, black combat boots. short and pale with a heck load of freckles. [i have a lot of freckles irl and they're annoying.]

Personality: Apologies if I don't describe myself very well. I'm naturally untrusting and wary of everything, I tend to be quiet unless i have something important to say, whether that's important to everyone or just me. I'm constantly spacing out, but i tend to soak in the details of my surroundings when i'm focused. let me know if i need to add more or whatever. 

Luggage: My phone and headphones, of course, which will usually be playing musicals such as The Lightning Thief, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, The Addams Family, and The Greatest Showman. my sketchbook and ballpoint pens, my notebook that's admittedly not usually used, and my hand sanitizer. i am certainly a germaphobe. Also bringing my Captcha, Yumiko, who's an Amarok. [mythical creature a lot like a wolf]

@Admins, why did you delete part of my comment?

I'd say because mention of various pronouns may lead to further discussion.

@Admins, I understand that, but you have allowed people to write their preferred pronouns in character sheets. Since this Ski Lodge did not include a space for gender/pronouns, I was only saying what mine are. Would you mind explaining why the topic is allowed in a character sheet but not in a request to be referred to using certain pronouns?

I apologize if I offend you at all. That is not my intention. I realize that you are just doing your job, and i appreciate that. All i am asking for is some clarity. Thank you, and I hope you have a good day :) 

 

We try to be fair and apply our guidelines equally, but each comment is reviewed individually. If you think something has been deleted unfairly, feel free to submit it again. I do know that we don't support a full discussion of these issues.

It's been a long time since I've joined a ski lodge, and this looks pretty fun. :)

Name: Abigail

Age: 13

Appearance: I have dark hair in a messy pixie cut, brown eyes, and wear tortoiseshell glasses. I'm average height, have lots of freckles, and there are always doodles on my arms and hands. I wear a white sweater, black leggings with the Adidas stripes on the sides, and white sneakers with sharpie doodles all over them. I also have a pink "chalkboard watch" and can usually be seen with my sketchbook in hand.

Personality: Talkative, clumsy, a perfectionist and hopeless romantic. Likes being in charge; intelligent, sarcastic, loyal friend. Scatterbrained, stubborn, once fought a sixth grader over the use of the Oxford comma.

There is still space, isn't there? I think I'll come, if there is!

Name: Cockleburr

Age: Hmm... I'll say thirteen today. I'm not in the mood for my actual age.

Appearance: Dark brown, sproingy hair with a cowlick. Brown eyes behind large, black glasses. Short, athletic figure. Wears loose overalls and a turquoise t-shirt with paint splattered, formerly white converse shoes.

Personality: Creative and smart; can switch between extremely focused and scattered in minutes. Tends to be 'violently optimistic' when surrounded by pessimists. Awkward and shy around people she doesn't know extremely well. Not a natural leader, but can take charge if she needs to.

Luggage: Sketchbook, pencils, earbuds, several books, and a sword. All of this can be carried in a somewhat bottomless Marine Corps string bag (which I won in a pull-up contest at my school. The marine in charge didn't think I could do a single pull-up; I did seven).
