Ski Lodge Reboot - The Midnight Express!

When I first posted this ski lodge I ended up getting overwhelmed with school and life stuff and being unable to actually work on it.  But I'm back!  Without further ado, let's begin~

--- 

You wake up to the sound of a train whistle.  It pierces through the foggy dream you’d been having, bringing you back to reality.  The morning sun streams through your bedroom window.  You glance around, puzzled about where the noise came from.  When you’re unable to find an answer, you shrug and get ready for the day.  A purple butterfly perches on your windowsill.  It watches you.

 

Continuing on with your morning routine, you make a quick breakfast and head out the door.  A warm breeze ruffles your hair, hitting you with the unexpected aroma of rose and sage.  And there it is again - that high, musical train whistle in the distance.  The violet-winged butterfly has followed you.  Now it flutters through the air and lands on the front steps of your house.  Your eyes are drawn to it, and you notice that next to it is an envelope.  The folded paper parcel is a rich, deep indigo color sprinkled with gold and sealed with silver wax.  Curious, you pick it up and open it.  When the paper is torn, a puff of glitter is released and a crisp folded letter slides out.  The letter is blank, but a voice begins to speak -

 

Greetings esteemed friend!


I hope I have not interrupted you, however this is the easiest way to contact you.  You’re probably wondering what is going on - in which case, have no fear.  The Midnight Express is currently passing through, and we would love to invite a few lucky souls to join us on a weeklong trip through the realms.  The Express is no ordinary train (as you have probably gathered already).  It has numerous luxurious amenities, from a state-of-the-art ballroom and dining car to a greenhouse and astral observatory.  Of course, almost all of these will be available to you as a passenger on the Express, as well as all the sights and activities a tour through the realms could offer.  Should you choose this generous offer, please complete the form below -

Yesss I'm absolutely thrilled that this is being rebooted! Good luck this time! Here's my form, copy-pasted from last time with a few minor changes.

Name: Scuttles

CBer or AE: CBer. Obviously.

Pronouns: Genderfluid. Use they, he, she most often, but I'll use
any neopronouns (including it/its, which is or isn't a neopronoun
depending on who you ask) or no pronouns when I feel like it. Pronouns
usually, but not always, change on a day-to-day basis, meaning that one
day I'll be one gender and another day I'll be another but usually won't
change during the day.

Appearance: Tall, tan skin, dark brown eyes with a scar
across the left one, short dark brown hair, the tips of which are dyed some bright color (currently alternating streaks of platinum blond and neon green, but it's likely to change every few days), freckles, multiple helix & mid-helix ear peircings. I
usually wear shorts or sweatpants with a t-shirt and sometimes a
sweatshirt, all in gender-nuetral colors, sensible black-and-gray hiking
boots. Watch on left wrist and a number of friendship-bracelet-things
on the right. Often has wireless headphones around neck, sometimes wears
a beanie with lots of enamel pins. Black and white moth wings and moth
antennae, if thats alright.

Personality in exactly seven words:  Likely to punch anyone who
disagrees with me.     (oh wait, that's 8 words. Whatever. I do not
care. I shall do whatever I like, and like I said, should you disagree
with me you could quite possibly end up with a bloody nose.)

Luggage:  Computer (with stickers on it), drawing tablet (with stickers) and stylus, phone (you guessed it–stickers), drawing tablet (stickers!), multiple sketchbooks/sketch pads of varying sizes (stickers on the cover, again), art supplies (art pencils, colored pencils, art pens, paint, paintbrushes, markers) enamel pin collection, Nintendo switch, beanies, sharpies, hair dye, two long coils of nylon rope (approved for rock climbing), a belay device (which is something you use to safely rock climb), two rock climbing harnesses (one for me and one spare, in case anybody forgot theirs (because obviously a rock climbing harness is an essential piece of luggage on any trip)), black duct tape.

Favorite color described as poetically as possible: You think I
can do poetry? Ha! Think again. I can't write anything vaguely poetic
for the life of me, plus I do not have any favorite colors.

Zodiac sign: Leo, or Fire Dragon (this doesn't really make sense as the most recent year of the Fire Dragon was roughly 1976, but I like fire and I like dragons, so I have selected that to be my CBsona's zodiac)

Law or chaos?: CHAOS!

Favorite fancy word (serendipity, hiraeth, etc): "Idiot" What can I say, it's a great word. But I also like "prevalent," "petrichor," "pneumono­ultra­microscopic­silico­volcano­coniosis," and "Pseudohypoparathyroidism."

Anything else we should know?: I sometimes talk in third person,
when it suits me. And I have a pet corn snake named Fluffles who wears a
blue bandanna and will be coming with me.

Aww, no, the copy-pasting came out all weird... well, you can always look at the version from the original thread, but just note that I made changes to the Luggage, Zodiac sign, and Favorite fancy word fields.

Name: Tsuki


CBer or AE: CBer


Pronouns: she/her


Appearance: green eyes with pretty lashes she's rather proud of.  thick and voluminous dark hair that turns gold around the edges in the sun.  skin is pale, she is slightly short but otherwise of average size and shape for a girl of fourteen years.


Personality in exactly seven words: insecure, ambitious, thoughtful, confused, hopeful, critical


Luggage: a pen, a pencil, a phone, my japanese textbook, a notebook, a few books, clothes


Favorite color described as poetically as possible: like a butterfly flitting between flowers, her taste changes as often as the tides.  one day it is a lavender hue the color of gentleness, of whispers, of all things soft and carefree, and the next it is the color of the cloud casting shadows into every nook and cranny of its wonderfully artistic figure as the sun casts a rose-gold sheen on its underside.  Most often, though, she comes back to the green of the forests, of rich truth, of mysterious wonder lacing its way through reality.  The green she sees staring back at her in the mirror before which she stands every morning and night, trying to understand what lay behind those eyes.


Zodiac sign: sagittarius


Law or chaos?: ah, but all things must have balance, mustn't they?


Favorite fancy word (serendipity, hiraeth, etc): ethereal
