You run up the ladder into your treehouse, extremely glad it's summer. You crawl over to the stack of books in the corner and pick up the one on top. You see a piece of paper sticking out of it. You read:

Okay people this is starting! Unfortunately Aspen did not get her sheet in on time so sorry but you will not be part of the ski lodge:(. I will just start from where the prolouge left off. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Everybody found a note on their beds saying that they were free to wander about the hotel, there are no schedules. Of course, Agent Winter had already taken off for the trampoline park, but it was still nice to know.

At 5:15, ... came downstairs for dinner. Kate and Byann were already there. ... Snatched up a plate, loaded it with assorted food, and sidled into the seat at the head of the table. Kate smiled at her, but Byann was too busy making a silverware tower. 

Slowly, more people trickled into the dining room. Snatches of conversation floated in the air.

"Thirty, could you please pass the salt?" Gracia asked politely.

"Unlike some other people present, this particular CBer seems quite sweet. I would think-"

"Thirty? Just pass the salt to her," Icy interrupted.

"Kate? Why do you have all of those pickles?? They were supposed to go on the hamburgers," Brian commented annoyingly. 

"What does it matter, Brian? Pickles are good anyways!" Kate replied. 

"Gdfd," Dream complimented.

"You're right, this is good food," Secret agreed.

The night's atmosphere was light and happy- until the very end, that is. When everyone was done eating, ... stood up and started to say she was going back to her room. She never got to finish her sentence, though, reason being that, right at that moment, the murderer pressed a button under the table.

And that button dropped an anvil. Right on ...'s head.

Strange, I left a comment on this and it seems to have disappeared. Take two!

This is really great! I like how you even included the time, and you absolutely nailed me and Thirty. You definitely got her personality on point. RIP .... You will be missed.

@Icy thanks! Now for Day 1 part 2/ Day 2 part 1:

~~~~~~~~~~~

There were several screams, Brian swore, Gracia nearly fainted, and Sophia began to sob. All the noise alerted Nick, and he came rushing in.

"What happened?" He questioned urgently. 

"Someone got murdered!" Viola exclaimed dramatically.

"Oh goodness gracious," Nick breathed. "Alright, everyone remain calm. We will bury the poor on the beach. As for now, we will proceed to have dessert."

And, magically, a wide variety of delectable treats appeared. While they tasted divine, the group couldn't help but feel panicked and mournful.

Aw man, thought Rose, dessert usually cheers me up...

When dessert was finished, the CBers quietly made their way to their rooms. And, sad as they were, they couldn't help but gasp at the amazing sight that reached their eyes.

What had previously been a normal hotel room was now a luxury suite. Each room was the same; you would walk immediately into a cozy living room, a mini-kitchen on the right and a hallway to the left, branching off to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The truly remarkable thing, however, was that the white walls walls were streaked with the residents' favorite colors. Fireburst's combo of Scarlet, green, and navy looked surprisingly good.

"Bwow," Darkfeather gasped.

Sophia looked sadly at the swirls of dark blue that represented her dead CBer. She looked around for something to distract herself. Quickly, she grabbed her diary and pen, and began to write.

~

The next morning, the CBers woke to find a list of all the attractions in the hotel. They read:

Mini golf course

Movie theater

Indoor amusement park

Indoor playground

Basketball court

Ice skating rink

Roller skating rink

Rooftop pool w/ jacuzzi

Library

Trampoline park

Arts and crafts room

Bounce house room

Giant ball pit

Salon

Zoo

Pie room

Bowling alley

Skateboard park

Game room

Paintball

Lazer tag

Beach

Zip line 

Agent Winter took off for the skate park, Sea Glass slipped out quietly for the beach, Kate, LilyPad, and Gem headed for the zip line, Icy and Viola skipped to the amusement park, and Sophia, unnoticed, tiptoed to the library. Nobody saw her.

Exept for the murderer. 

~

Sea Glass searched the beach for anything worth collecting. Using her CBer's bag, she collected seashells, sand dollars, and washed-up, dead sea plants. She sighed in a lonely way.

~

Brian looked around the pie room, deciding which flavor to eat first. He ended up with an apple cinnamon in his hand, which was soon in his mouth.

~

Icy chomped on blue cotton candy while Viola hitched a ride on the ferris wheel.

"Hey Icy! I'm on top of the world!" Viola exclaimed when she reached the peak. Icy smiled awkwardly and proceeded to ride a roller coaster.

~

Fireburst, Secret, and Gracia gazed around the craft room. The walls were covered in doodles, clay sculptures crowded the corners, and beads strung around the ceiling. Secret took some blank paper and gel pens, Gracia began to make some oragami, and Fireburst got some beads to make a necklace. Just when they settled in their seats, the door creaked open and Rose sidled in. Quietly, she began to doodle.

~

 

"Winter, that's totally crazy!" Sam cried as AW did some sort of flip/jump/summersault/thing.

"Relax, I do it all the time!" Winter replied. Sam groaned.

~

"Wahoooooooo!!!!!" Byann shouted as he sproinged on a trampoline.

"The AE was behaving most immaturely, bouncing and screaming like a complete fool."

"GAH! I mean, uh, hi Thirty," Byann stuttered. "I didn't know you were here."

~

Brian groaned under the weight of five delicious pies, now residing in his stomach. 

~

"Uuugh, Lily, do you seriously want to go to the library?" Gen groaned.

"Sure I'm sure! Zip lining with Kate was fun, but now I'm done," Lily explained. Gem moaned and followed her, While Kate headed downstairs for lunch.

~

Five minutes later, LilyPad burst into the craft room.

"Sophia's been murdered!" She screamed.

DAY 2, PART 2:

~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone decided to gather in the dining room.

"We should probably get Nick too," Secret advised.

"I'll round everybody up," Fireburst announced.

She ran around the hotel, finding Sea Glass on the beach, Viola and Icy at the amusement park, Brian in the pie room, Byann and Thirty in the trampoline park, Kate was already there, and the CAPTCHAS were (oddly) in the salon.

"Wnoo!" Darkfeather complained when her CBer said they had to leave. Fireburst sighed and carried her.

Once everybody was settled, Fireburst cleared her throat.

"Um, so, we've called you all down here because... because Sophia has been murdered." Sea Glass sucked in a breath, trying to hide xyr fear. Fireburst continued,"We all know we have to stop the murderer, and, well... Rose slipped in the crafts room a few minutes after me, Gracia, and Secret, giving her time to murder Sophia." Everyone turned and stared at Rose.

"Wh-what?!?! No!! I'm not a murderer!!" She cried anxiously.

"Rose," Icy started gently,"If what she says is true, it- it does make sense that... I'm sorry."

In the end, they decided that Rose should stay in her room exept for meals and bathroom breaks. At this decision, Nick cleared his throat like he wanted to say something.

"Well, we can't be too quick to assume that Rose is most definitely the murderer... I think we should give her an hour of free time. This vacation was for everyone to have fun, after all. While a murderer on the loose does make it hard to have fun... we should still allow her some freedom." There was a  ripple of agreement, and they all decided that Nick was right.

Through it all, the murderer nodded and played along. This establishment would get them, if anything, farther from their goal. They knew what they wanted, and they would stop at nothing to get it. 

No one noticed the tears running down Rose's face. Or how pretty the wetness made her eyes look.

*Looks at previous enstallment and cringes* uuugh... so many typos...

DAY 2, PART 3/DAY 3:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rose let the CBers and AEs enprizon her in her own room without complaint, defeated.

"We are sorry Rose, this just seems like a logical thing to do..." Sam commented.

Rose flopped on her bed, destressed and heartbroken, and began to sob.

~

The murderer sat and debated in their head, finally coming to the conclusion they knew all along. Their goal would never be reached if things continued the way they were. They knew what they were doing was crazy. But they didn't care. Now the only question was how to murder Rose.

~

Later that night, around 11:20, Rose's door creaked open. She was still awake, too deep in thought to sleep, but she didn't hear it. The murderer creeped up on her and put a hand over her mouth so no one could hear her scream.

~

The next morning, Secret went to Rose's room to tell her to come down for breakfast. Of course, she never got to say that. Everyone met in the dining room once more, ignoring the scrumptious doughnuts, bacon, eggs, cereal, biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, and everything else the divine meal had to offer.

"So I think one of two things: either we we're wrong and Rose wasn't the murderer, or she was and someone else killed her to get rid of the real murderer."

"Oh geez," sighed Gem, who was trying very hard not to show how sad and worried she really was. 

"Fireburst's probably right," Viola said, summoning a sticky note to write what she said down. 

"Gzmp," squaked Dream like it solved everything.

"Well then, if nobody else gets murdered, then Fireburst's second theory is right. If someone else does get murdered, then her first theory is right," Lily concluded brightly."Anybody want to come with me to the amusement park?"

~

While Lily, Winter, Byann, and Kate headed for the amusement park, Viola, Thirty, Sam, Gem, Secret, and Dream decided to go to the salon. They walked into a large room with maroon walls, bathed in golden light. A very pretty girl, looking about twenty, greeted them with a white-toothed smile. She had auburn hair up in a ponytail, dark brown eyes, and a nice tan.

"Welcome girls," she said kindly. "Here for pedicures?"

The group sat down in extremely comfortable massage chairs, sinking their feet in wonderfully hot water. They sighed with relief. Being trapped in a murderer mystery is very stressful. The whole time they were there, the pretty girl talked to them. She said her name was Eva, and she worked at the hotel. She was very kind and good at making conversation.

"The woman named Eva was very good-natured, and I am glad I met her. However, this pedicure is not the greatest thing I've done," Thirty droned.

"Mmm-hmmm," Viola agreed distractedly. She was busy admiring her perfectly shaped, voilet toenails.

~

There were no other murders that day, which was, undoubtedly, a relief. While Winter told stories about riding the biggest roaller coaster, the group who went to the salon told about Eva.

"She was really cool!" Sam informed Fireburst.

"Totally," Secret agreed.

"Toly," Dream agreed as well.

~

 

Death count: 3. ...: Anvil on head. Sophia: stabbed in heart. Rose: stabbed in heart. RIA, ..., rest in anvil.

Thanks, Lily! On to DAY 4:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early that morning, around 4:00, the murderer crept out of their room with a fully-formed plan. They knew who they needed to find. They found their way to the salon, finding who they wanted already there. The murderer locked the door behind them.

"Eva," they hissed, making her jump.

"Oh! Um hello. I didn't see you there."

"That was the point," the murderer drawled, rolling their eyes. "Anyways... you seem like a good person, Eva. Helpful. Obedient. I think I can use that to my advantage."

Eva began to sweat. "Please... just get to your point."

"You seem like a smart enough person, Eva. Haven't you figured it out yet? Don't you know there's a murderer running loose?"

Eva gasped. "No. I won't. What my father would think, after what happened to my mom...," 

"You think I care about that?" They whisper-screamed. "I can't do what I need to get done alone! So you will help me-" they drew out their weapon-" and you will stay silent"- they placed their weapon to her throat-"or else."

Eva gulped. "Whatever you say... boss." The murderer cackled.

~

At 8:00 that morning, Nick made an announcement, saying under the circumstances, all meals will be held at certain times and the pie room will be unaccessible, to prevent poisoning in food. Breakfast was at 8:30 till 10, l lunch at 11:45 till 1:15, and dinner at 5:00 till 6:45. Most everybody groaned and went back to sleep, but Sea Glass and Darkfeather started down to breakfast.

"Glzp," Darkfeather chirped. Sea Glass nodded absent-mindedly, thinking xe might visit the library.

Sam came down for breakfast. "I thought it would be nice to come down here before there was a stampede of CBers," she explained.

Sea Glass slipped out of the dining room before- as Sam called it- the stampede came. Xe found a good book about called Sea Glass Summer. Xe smiled looking at the title.

After about thirty minutes, Secret came in the library. Sea Glass jumped.

"Oh, sorry," Secret apologized. "Whatcha reading?" Xe showed her their book. "Cool," Secret replied. Soon they were talking about their favorite books. Sea Glass liked it. It made xyr feel less lonely.

~

All in all, that day was refreshingly cheerful. Darkfeather and Dream played what they called "hide annd seek capt chaa stle," which was hide and seek but instead of counting to twenty, the seeker said 'four' twenty times. Winter, Byann, Lily, and Kate had a very memorable game of Lazer tag, and Viola, Fireburst, and Gem had a good time playing mini golf. Thirty floated around, narrating everybody's lives.

When Lazer tag was over, Kate decided to swim in the rooftop pool. She found Gracia chilling in a doughnut floatie. They exchanged a hello, but Kate didn't get in the water, due to the fact that, right at that moment, Brian burst in with a paintball gun.

"YAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled, spattering Kate in sticky orange paint.

"Brian!" She moaned. She had to go take a shower instead of swimming. Gracia handed a cursing Kate a towel. She was a little late to dinner.

Evereybody had an enjoyable dinner, laughing and talking and eating the divine food; soups and salads and sandwiches and burgers; lasagna and pasta and Mexican and Chinese and everything imaginable. No anvils were dropped.

~

 

Death count: same as yesterday.
