Huh, I did mention floating up off the floor once. I could also use my sticky notes like a magic carpet, but the other way is more fun. Just a little.

That is the most interesting reason for murder I could never have thought of. I'm excited!

Nymph~

Kate was voted guilty, and I ended up being the one to toss her down the trap door. I think she might've died? Nothing really happened, so we all kind of just watched for a while and then left. She didn't come back. I guess we'll find out if there's a murder today.

Oh You want me to post my theories! Well I have deduced that Poison is the murderer through logic hehehe. If you don't want people to know, feel free to ask the Admins to delete this comment!

Random sketch of the after-lodge (I picture it with a ceiling):

Eep Viola it looks so cool!

Day 3, Part 1: Vigilantes 

***

Spyro and Catsclaw crept up a staircase, heads twitching from right to left, brandishing various weapons. Catsclaw had found A Very Big Sword in his Tardis bedroom, and Spyro had taken the knife that had been found in LilyPad’s back. He hadn’t bothered to wash it off, and it was quite unnerving dripping with blood and the like.

Catsclaw was nervous, which was odd for someone who usually barreled straight ahead. “Even if it is visible now, we probably shouldn’t be sneaking into the host’s bedroom. I think your info might be a bit skewed up. No ski lodge owner has been kidnapped before,”.

“Well, I’m older and have seen more ski lodges,” Spyro declared.

The dark-skinned boy looked at him skeptically. “You’re... older than me? I know I’m only eleven, but something doesn’t seem right about that,”.

“I’ve been on the CB for longer,” Spyro explained, hopping over a rotten stair and forgetting to warn Catsclaw it was there. “Besides, hotairballon told me she was and he said Poison had told him and Poison said Nymph had told her and Nymph’s cool so there.”

Catsclaw’s foot fell through the stair and he yelped, grabbing on to the railing. Spyro giggled.

“Look, we’re the only ones who care about going to save Chaan, so-“

A volley of darts suddenly flew through the air. Spyro spun around breathing fire and incinerated them, while Catsclaw blocked with his sword. They looked at each other with pale faces. 

“Let’s try to be a bit quieter, what do you think?” Catsclaw whispered, and Spyro nodded importantly.

They continued up the stairs, evading several other traps along the way like pits of spikes and robot kangaroos. (The less said about that particular one the better.) This spiral staircase had appeared out of the blue last night, and Spyro, being Spyro, had commendered the most willing CBer to go off on a Epic Quest with them. Catsclaw had a bit of a thing for epic quests, so he’d said yes.

“Soon, the weary adventurers saw a building in the distance, woven out of intertwined branches. There was no doubt this was the end of their quest. They would have to face the one who has orchestrated it all-“ Catsclaw broke off from the narrative and turned to Spyro.

“Hey, who are we facing at the end?” Spyro shrugged.

Like he had said, they were coming up to a floor that had seemed to be nonexistent. This one had walls made of leaves and a ceiling of intertwined branches. Spyro poked his head in. “Chaan?” 

There was no response. Catsclaw and Spyro continued in. 

Inside, a orange tablet lay on a table. Spyro pressed various buttons, but it didn’t do anything. Various windows were around the area, focused on a specific place in the ski lodge. An armchair was in a corner, and a half-played board game lay in ruins.

Then, Catsclaw heard something. “Mff!” He raced into the next room. Two AEs were tied to chairs, and their eyes lit up when they saw him. Catsclaw vaguely recognized them as cloud and Pzun, Blue Moon’s AEs. Both looked rather beat up. Cloud’s silvery hair was in her eyes and she had cuts all over her face, and Pzun had a black eye and a slash on their arm.

“Just one second,” Catsclaw said, “I’ll get you out of there.” He bent to untying the ropes.

Cloud was done first, and she sprang up. “Thanks, but- you shouldn’t be here.”

“I feel very appreciated,” Catsclaw said wryly. Spyro blowtorched Pzun’s bounds, and he got up with an “ouch, Spyro, you could’ve just untied me”.

“No, seriously. Something is going on that you don’t get. The one causing all this is omnipotent. They did something to Blue- I mean, Chaan- but it didn’t work on us for some reason, so they had our own CBer attack us.” Her voice broke. “We were lucky to get out alive. Blue said she had a plan for if this happened, though. She said we needed to get out of the Ski Lodge. Whenever she CBed, it felt like she was in two places at once. We needed to go to that other place.”

Pzun picked up the thread. “And then from there, we could free her. But we tried. We ended up in Blue’s mind, but it was different then normal. It was dark, and scary-“ He shuddered.

“Wait,” Catsclaw said slowly. “I think she meant somewhere I don’t know if you’ve heard of.”

“What?” cloud asked.

“It’s got many different names. Earth. Outside. Real life.”

Catsclaw took a deep breath. “That’s where all CBers live. And I can take you there,”.
