A Ski Lodge~

A Ski Lodge

~~~ 

It's the middle of summer, and you're draped languorously on your couch, a thick book in your hands and a cool glass of lemonade within reach. A small fan whirs, a pathetic rival to the unrelenting heat. Your window is open, although it doesn't make much difference, for the air outside is still and humid. 

Suddenly, you hear the symphonious tinkling of wind chimes. You couldn't remember ever hearing wind chimes around your house before, but this isn't a huge source of concern. The biggest thing interesting you is the cream-colored envelope that has fluttered in from the window and onto your living room floor. 

You set your book down, and pick up the envelope, turning it over in your hands. On the front, in neat black ink, it spelled out your name. Odd. You slit the top of the envelope, and withdraw two pieces of parchment and a small, pressed purple flower - you recognize its delicate floral scent as lavender. You pick up the first piece of parchment and read, 

Dear CBer, 

You are invited on an all-expenses paid vacation at Lockaria House, located within the Osorthe Forest. While there, you will experience a fortnight of fun, adventure, excitement, and, quite possibly, danger. Sign up quickly, only fifteen guests are allowed. This includes any AE companions you may choose to bring. We will begin when spots are filled.

Your hostess,

Ms. Socie Grishelm

- Please note that the popcorn is not free.

- CAPTCHAs and CAPTCHAEs are not allowed. 

- I advise you to pack warmly, the Osorthe Forest is trapped in an eternal autumn. 

- Lockaria House is not responsible for any damage or loss of property or person during your time here.

- Please fill out the forms for both yourself and any AE you wish to attend. 

The second piece of parchment, you soon discover, contains said forms.

Something about this letter makes you wary, but those thoughts are quickly banished to the back of your mind. It's so hot here, and an all-expenses-paid autumnal vacation is just the thing you need. You grab the writing utensil of your choice and in careful print, fill out the forms. 

Besides, what could possibly go wrong in fourteen days?

Yep, I’m rebooting my ski lodge from several months ago! I don’t know if anyone remembers it, but I think I got fairly far in it, and it was fun, so I’m rebooting it! I promise this time it will not die! I was guessed last time, but still feel free to guess who I am. ;)

Reserving. This sounds cool!

Nox says {tydie}! Good job! We just have to work on spelling a little bit... OR WAIT, Nox, are you saying "thank you, die" or are you saying "tie-dye" like I thought you were? Hm. I guess we have to work on kindness as well.
