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.

Woah. It's like you're me! The personality is (almost) exactly the same!

I'm introverted. Check!

I rarely start conversations, but I can be talkative enough if I'm comfortable. Check and check!

I contemplate the universe a lot. Check!

I read books a lot. CHECK!

Maybe those two things are related. Maybe they are...

I have a mercurial relationship with writing and art. Check! But mostly with art...

I like words. Check! Persnickety and tintinnabulation are my go-tos if that's what you mean!

I'm probably odd,   check!

but I wouldn't know. Ok, and... this is where they end. I'm definitely odd/weird! Or would like to think so...

 

anyways, that was rly interesting!!
