Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

*New Ski Lodge Alert!*

You’re sitting on the couch reading, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, a mug of hot chocolate at your side.  You take a sip and turn the page.  ‘Everyone was finally gathered at the palace,’ you read.  ‘They stood on a path bordered by hedges of white roses as cold flakes of snow gently fell, waiting for their host.’ You sigh, wishing you were the one in a winter wonderland.  It was already December and it still hasn’t snowed a flake.  Then again, you almost never see snow where you live.  You go back to reading but soon feel an odd chill in the air.  Looking up, you see white feathers swiftly falling from the sky.  Feathers? You wonder.  No… snow!  You open the back door and dash outside.  The winter sky is covered by blankets of pale grey clouds.  Chilly white powder covers the grass.  You stretch out a hand in wonder and a tiny snowflake lands on your finger.  Suddenly more and more begin to fall into your outstretched palm, as if gravitating to you.  They form a thin white scroll and you yelp in surprise as it unravels and neat blue calligraphy begins to be written on it.  The snow-scroll reads-

Dear friend,

You dream of winter, of ice and snow, of a crisp, beautiful paradise.  You wish to frolic in fields of white, to walk through snow-dusted gardens, to curl up by the fire after a long day of excitement.  So I would like to invite you to my home, The Wintertide Palace.  There you and your fellow guests will be able to fulfill all those dreams, and more.  My palace hosts many snowy activities (or for those who prefer to stay inside, we boast an impressive library, art studio, and concert hall).  On the last day I will host the Crystal Ball, to which all guests are invited.  To accept this gracious invitation, simply fill out the form below and blow your scroll back into snow dust.  I patiently await your reply.

-Crystalline, Empress of Winter
