Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
On the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month, thirteen letters were sent to thirteen people. They were written directly from somewhere . . . unknown. Why? Well, the question should rather be ‘Why not?’
The letter contained the following.
To whom it may concern,
You have been selected to come to the Golden Harbor palace. You may bring any companions you may have (Alter Egos, CAPTCHAs, pets, etc.). You luggage must fit in a single backpack (provided). Weapons are allowed, so are magically minimized items.
If you would like to come to the Golden Harbor palace, go to the golden cruise liner at Golden Harbor, on the thirteenth day of the first month. Anything you leave behind will not be transported. Weapons are provided upon request. So is popcorn.
No need to pay - it’s free. That’s why so many people want this letter. Take care of it. If you don’t have it, you’ll be left behind on the journey . . . potentially floating face-down in the water.
Happy travels. Fill out the form below if you would like to join. If you don’t, you’ll appear floating face-down anyway.
I will be accepting 13 Chatterboxers, and however many companions they bring.
Your host,
Whisperrrrr
The receiver of this strange letter flipped it over, and amazingly, a backpack appeared in front of them. It was golden, with opaque white embroidery in swirling patterns. Also, on the other side, there was the aforementioned form.
Name:
Companions:
Luggage:
Weapons:
Phobias:
The receiver was a bit - more than a bit - intimidated by the threats, and decided to fill the form out . . . and bring lots of weapons.

Cool! And um, yes. I would like to request a bow now. Compound, please. And green arrows if they're available.
HA! Hazel says bamm. Very appropriate. This is already getting bad.
(October 17, 2018 - 7:02 pm)
Yep! You'll get them when we arrive at our . . . destination.
(October 17, 2018 - 9:45 pm)
Wait. Guys. Look at the first sentence of this post. There is no thirteenth month...
(October 18, 2018 - 1:26 pm)
There's a reason why I'm in Time :)

-Day 2-
“Oh my gosh, this is so cool!” Levana said.
The whole group was swimming through a garden. There were assortments of coral, flowing fans, and bubbling mini-volcanoes. Seaweed, tropical fish diving and weaving amongst the plant life. And mermaids - some wearing kimonos, some in nothing but a fishes’s tail and shawl. Why they even needed a shawl underwater, Levana didn’t know.
One was holding a lantern and an umbrella. Again, Levana had no idea why. “Hey, Levana, could you help me?”
Levana saw one of her friends struggling to pull something out of their backpack at the back of the line. “Sure!”
They swam to the back, and her friend was finally able to pull out the item. A knife. They turned to Levana’s shocked expression. “What? It’s to take coral samples!” they said, realizing what Levana thought.
“Oh. I thought - well, it always happens in situations like this,” Levana explained.
“Yeah, I guess.” They cut a piece of a fiery orange coral. “Look at this, isn’t it cool!”
Levana took the coral from their hands. It was pretty, but it had an acrid scent, like poison. She noticed that they were wearing gloves. Gloves? Levana thought.
She brought the coral closer to her face, to determine the scent. Wait. Something she’d seen before, on National Geographic. “If you ever see a coral of a fiery orange color, drop it immediately. It may be fire coral, a type of coral that can cause severe burns and death . . .”
Levana dropped the coral. Too late.
~~~
“Levana! Levana! Where are you?” Soren shrieked, getting even more worried by the second.
“It’s okay, I’m sure she just went to look at some coral or something,” Captain X assured her.
“No, no! She’s never this reckless!” Soren’s hysteria was increasing.
“Mmee find Levv anaa!” Boo yelled.
“You found her? Thank goodn-”
Soren stopped mid sentence. Levana was lying in one of the corals, her eyes wide open in shock. “Levana!” Soren cried, and reached out to part the coral.
“Don’t toch!” Boo said.
Darkking’s eyes widened in realization. “I recgonize that! It’s fire coral, it can cause severe rashes and death. Oh no, Levana must’ve touched it!”
Soren didn’t answer. Nobody could see the tears running down her face and mixing with the salty water.

Just shut up for the sake of plot NOOOOOO MY BABY
Okay, so either the murderer Is an exelleexc theif or they have a knife. I should make a list...

Don't call me ma'am, Boo, it sounds so formal.
(October 21, 2018 - 4:12 pm)
No, just for the sake of their plot they hid a knife in the lining of their backpack, though I'm not entirely sure myself about how that would work . . . XD

RIP Levana. You will be missed. * Starts wailing in dispare*
