A Ski Lodge,

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

A Ski Lodge,

A Ski Lodge, with a twist.

Secrets thrive in darkness.  Everyone knows that.  When night falls, it becomes much easier to hide and to hunt.  Humanity sleeps during the night, to blind themselves to the shadowy truths of the world and live in sunlit ignorance.  You are no exception.  Or are you, stranger?  To set foot in this place is to stand not beyond or before the veil, but within it.

You find yourself in a grayish darkness, not quite deep enough to obscure your sight but enough to send shivers down your spine.  The space around you is vast, an atrium of sorts, decrepit but ornate with peeling victorian wallpaper and a staircase that towers and twists into the unknown.  Pale rays of light shine through unseen corners, illuminating the dust floating through the air.  There is no ceiling, you realize, looking up to to a broken dome from which feathers and dead leaves slowly but surely descend as the wind whistles.  Blackbirds huddle in the rafters, their shadowy figures almost but not quite invisible.  Their caws sound more like words.  What is this place, and how did you get here?

You wish to leave?  Very well then, depart from me.  But know that if you do, you will forget this place and never learn the answers to your questions.  Oh, you cannot resist secrets?  I am not surprised.  Tell me who exactly you are, and our your tale will begin.

This house has no host, but you are not alone - at least not for long.  Proceed with caution, act with recklessness.  Believe in your companions, trust no one.  Ten will be permitted to enter, but no one can say how many will remain in the end.

ooh this looks awesome!!

Name: Pangolin

Pronouns: she/they

Appearance, or rather what you'd wish to look like: I'm slightly taller than average and slender, with a fairly feminine appearance. Wavy copper hair reaches just past my shoulder blades. I have tanned skin and freckles, and a straight nose slightly tipped at the end. My eyes can change color drasically depending on the lighting. For this I will be wearing a black long-sleeved ribbed top, rust-colored corduroy pants, and black high top converse. 

Detailed Personality: I am thoughtful, logical, and quiet, and a self-declared nerd. I am an outcast, and am often alone, but rarely lonely. I am often found daydreaming about going on an adventure, writing, drawing, reading, or spending way too much time on school assignments. I am adventurous, mischievous at times, creative, quick-witted, and have a slightly dark sense of humor.

Do you believe in ghosts?: i've never seen a ghost, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Choose one object to carry with you: a length of rope

What color is your soul?: deep purple

Imagination or logic?: both, but if I must choose one, logic.

Do you have secrets?: of course

Name: CelineBurning Bright/Celine

Pronouns: she/her

Appearance, or rather what you'd wish to look like: a round face like that of the moon, deep black hair that never tangles and falls to my waist, big, soulful eyes, bangs 

Detailed Personality: honest and likes to think deeply about things, punny, always tries, naturally curious (can never give up a good mystery!) but also very cautious, sometimes to the point of paronia. 

Do you believe in ghosts?: I might as well try to believe they CAN exist. If given solid proof however, I would not doubt it at all.

Choose one object to carry with you: a notebook and pencil (does that count as one?)

What color is your soul?: my soul? Hmm... I'd like to think it's iridescent, changing colors but still see-through and honest, and still made of the same core material

Imagination or logic?: imagination of course! Bc logic says, if you believe something is real, then (if you really think about it), it is! And imagination is so much more vast than logic, with limitless opportunities.

Do you have secrets?: doesn't everyone? Mine are darker than most, though...

 

can't wait for this to begin!!

Name: Scuttles

Pronouns: Hahaha get ready for the pronouns spiel! I'm Genderfluid, and I use they/them, she/her, and/or he/him most often, but I also use neopronouns (including it/its) and nounselfs. I use nounselfs the least often, about once or twice a month, neopronouns second least, about once, maybe twice, a week, and they, he, and she, the rest of the time. Pronouns usually change daily, meaning a different set each day lasting the whole day, and sometimes I may use more than one set of pronouns at a time. I may also use the same set/sets several days in a row. If juggling all that is too difficult on top of writing an entire freaking ski lodge which is already very difficult, i wouldn't be offended if you opted to use they/them for me the entire time.

Appearance, or rather what you'd wish to look like: Tall, tan (white) skin, short dark brown hair, always dyed bright colors (what colors it is dyed changes often, but currently it's alternating streaks of purple, neon greed, and platinum blond. It'll most likely change at least once before the ski lodge is over). Moth antennae and black moth wings with white markings. I typically wear black or dark gray sweatpants with a t-shirt and possibly a hoodie or jacket. 

Detailed Personality: Sort of a combination of your inner college student and your inner kindergartener. I'm feircely independent and full of surprises, but I'm also a little wacky and rather spontaneous. I love both logic and illogic, and I dislike it when things stay the same for too long. I'm pretty extroverted but I also need my alone time. I'm rather capable. I'm pretty friendly but I'm rather an oddball, so sometimes my spontaniety (definetely spelled that wrong) and wackiness is offputting to people who aren't used to it.

Do you believe in ghosts?: Of course! One of my best friends is a ghost.

Choose one object to carry with you: My corn snake, Fluffles. He usually wears a blue snake-sized bandanna, by the way.

What color is your soul?: Black, but not a deep dark rotten to the core kind of black. A soft black. Kind of like the color of the shadows at night when you can't see anything but instead of being scary the shadows are welcoming, and stepping into them is like coming home.

Imagination or logic?: Both.

Do you have secrets?: Of course. I'm very secretive.

Actually, shortly after posting my form, I changed my mind on one of the questions. Instead of bringing my pet snake along, could I bring several rolls of black duct tape?

Name: Writing_in_the_Dark (Writing)
Pronouns: He/they
Appearance, or rather what you'd wish to look like: Tan skin, cornflower blue hair with dark brown roots, heterochromatic eyes (one blue, one black), black demon horns, large white angel-like wings. I usually wear a hoodie of some sort and some type of jeans as well as a tee-shirt.
Detailed Personality: I’d say I’m extremely introverted and socially anxious, but pretty chill when I’m comfortable with the people I’m with. Obsessive, quiet but can be loud, SO FREAKING ANXIOUS IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. I like to write and daydream, and I’d like to say that I’m good at connecting dots together to create complex (and, admittedly, usually wrong) theories. Usually keeps emotions secret, as I want to be seen as a over-all happy person. Bad at describing myself, this was probably too personal, huh? :’]
Do you believe in ghosts?: Yes.
Choose one object to carry with you: my sketchbook
What color is your soul?: blue
Imagination or logic?: imagination, always
Do you have secrets?: Yes.

ooh cool

Name: Artemis

Pronouns: she/her

Appearance, or rather what you'd wish to look like: oh boy. um. tallish, dark hair cut to my chin, wire-rimmed glasses, pointy ears. I like wearing cloaks and the color purple.

Detailed Personality: I'm introverted. I rarely start conversations, but I can be talkative enough if I'm comfortable. I contemplate the universe a lot. I read books a lot. Maybe those two things are related. I have a mercurial relationship with writing and art. I like words. I'm probably odd, but I wouldn't know.

Do you believe in ghosts?: I'd be very surprised if I met one, but I'm not entirely sure they don't exist.

Choose one object to carry with you: one object? orange wireless headphones, powered not by WiFi, but by magic.

What color is your soul?: wow. that's a different question. um. I don't know, never having seen my soul, personally, but I imagine if it manifested physically it would be a sort of purple. Or dark green. Like, phthalo green. I think that's it.

Imagination or logic?: imagination

Do you have secrets?: oh yes
