The smell of ozone lingers on the paper. You don’t know how you know what it is. It fell on your head when you stepped outside—a sealed scroll, labeled with your name. Upon opening it, you find a form printed neatly in blue-violet ink, preceded by a cheerful, if short, letter.

Congratulations! You have been selected for a free visit to the Hotel in the Sky! Featuring individual suites, a celestial bath and a bird’s eye view of the world below, the Hotel in the Sky is the ideal place to relax for any sentient being. Simply fill out the form below, and within three days, the Hotel in the Sky will find you.

Name:

Role (CBer, AE, Captcha or Captchae): 

Gender/pronouns:

Appearance:

Personality:

Packing list:

At the bottom, in fine print almost too small to be read, is a disclaimer:

The Hotel in the Sky is not responsible for any deaths, injuries or damages which may occur to any individual or their property. Accept at your own risk. 

Hi, I don’t know what I’m doing exactly, but this is a ski lodge! Spots will be closed at the end of Saturday the 16th. Anyone who does not fill out their form by the deadline will simply not be found by the hotel, and thus will be unable to attend.

Sorry we haven't been posting on this much...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In retrospect, the entire group going on a walk together probably wasn't the best idea...

But, as a wise person once said, "Retrospect is always clear unless you're dead, in which case it's no big deal."

Right as they neared the hotel on their way back, a hole in the clouds opened up in front of them. They all stopped in time. But then MJ felt hands on her back, shoving her, and she fell towards the ground- thousands of feet below. Sorry, MJ.

Catsclaw and Viola promptly jumped off the edge, Catsclaw's coat turning into an Iron Man armor consisting of blue and gold plating, with several wings protruding out the back, which extended. Viola? simply got caught by a cloud, wrapped herself in it, and zoomed after Catsclaw, who had sunk his suit's claws into the back of MJ's shirt. The claws slid out as Catsclaw tried to go higher, and Viola? flew beneath, caught MJ, and flew up to the Hotel.

MJ, however, had already died of asphixiation. The clouds had solidified again, and everyone ran inside the mansion (except for MJ,'cause she was, you know, dead), and Catsclaw herded them into the graveyard (a few people found this suspicious, but hey...), where they had a funeral for MJ. Catsclaw ran inside the Solidifier room to see what'd gone wrong, and found an... ipod. And it was emitting an AMP (Anti-Magic Pulse) every few minutes. He turned it off and stormed back into the living room, growling, "Whose is this?!" nobody answered, and he growled something about "Murderers these days, no respect..." and stormed off to go play morrowind for the next two hours. Viola? sighed.

*Looks at Rogue's comment*

*Offended*

No clues. Zero. And you assume it's me.

Am I really that morid...? Wait, don't answer that.

Ha no, I thought it might be you from your personality sheet. I did an experiment and went back, looking at finished ski lodges. The murderer was usually an upbeat and friendly person. You're probably one of the most upbeat and friendly CBers here.

Aw, you think I'm friendly and upbeat? Thank you!

...Now I'm embarassed for being mad...

You shouldn't be. My guess was kinda out of the blue.

Viola? and Catsclaw were having a heated debate over whether Jwyn and Applejaguar's rooms should be named the Honeyseeker and Jay rooms, or the Jaguar and Tiger rooms. Which, of course, was when Rogue sat up and made an accusation. "I think it's Soren."

"Wha- Hey! No way! You think I killed MJ?!?"

"Yeah, it's always the cheeriest person who's the murderer."

"Oh. Well, then... I suppose i can forget the insult." Soren grinned, and the two gathered up a few more people to go play Clue. Halfway through the game, a bolt of magic flew from no-where and struck the gameboard, influencing a character, (the murderer, incidentally), which flew at Rogue with the Knife, revealed to be real as it slit her throat. 

Half a dozen screams, one cut short, reached Catsclaw's cat ears, and he instantly teleported down, wearing the Iron Gate MK III  armor, which could teleport. He grabbed the figurine out of the air, but it was no longer animated. He crushed it, just in case.

He called Viola? on the intercom, and soon she came down the stairs, followed by the others. Micearenice had been watching the game, and kept repeating, "It's alive! IT'S ALIVE". Everyone ignored her, while also silently thinking; "Okay, frankenstein."

Two down.

The murderers looked at each other. One nodded in gratitude. "Glad you're sharing the burden."

After the quick funeral, they were all ushered outside, guarded by several clairvoyance spells, to "play on the playground". The playground turned out to be a thirty-foot tall, blade-guarded, spectral obstacle course.

Viola?, on to you.

Multiple murderers? That's new. Things are going to get... interesting...

I better not be one of them...

'Kay yup one is definitely Soren...

(March 23, 2019 - 6:19 pm)

Greeaaaat. Yeah, Rogue's right. I will never look at a mirror the same if I really am the murderer. Excellent. Fabulous. Spectacular. *Grumbles*

Or is it?

Sorry I killed you off, but think about it. Killing you would both make sure you stopped guessing, and lay the suspicion on Soren. 'Twas only logical.

(March 23, 2019 - 10:04 pm)

Stop me guessing? HA!! FOOL!! I will find the next cheery person!

*Duplicates tab* *Looks through sheets*

Okay so I have Micearnice, Bella, Leo, Moonlight (eh), Abigail (Would be perfect for the happy-murderer position), Devin, Fleet, wow this is tiring okay I'm stopping here...
