Well, gosh diddly darn right, I do love kiddie rides and murder mysteries surrounding them. Count me in.
-
I would really like to be in this. I know you said only ten people but if you have room for me I would really appreciate it.

Avery! I am so sorry that I didn't see your post untill now! I would have let you join! If you like, you can still have a challenge.
-
-
Sorry, didn't see the ten people rule. Give others priority over me.
-
-
Do you mean 10 real people or 10 people including AEs?
-
If my alter egoes and I can join… pleeeeaase?
-
-
Provided that no one brings alter-egos, I will permit:
~Cayke
~Dragonrider
~Booksy
~Somebody
~TARDISrider (When I refer to you, can I just call you Rider?)
~H.A.B
~Danie
~St. Owl
~Ruby
~Shadow Dragon
~Brookeira
This is 11 people, I'm stretching the rules a bit. If there are no alter egos, then everybuggy can join. Sorry dudes, but it would be nice if everybody could join.
No more people joining! And just because it isn't the 15th yet, I'm only going to give you a preview.
All who signed up have received a new note.
Storyville Playpark is located off the coast of Florida! Be at the Southernmost dock on the 15th to board the boat.
-
I'll send you cotton candy on the mail. See ya later, alters!
-
Yes! Finally! I can just go home and eat donuts while you're being stabbed!
Didn't we talk about a donut-less diet?
If I don't have donuts… I have no reason to liiiive!
Jeez, fine. Drama queen.
-
cotton candy…………..cotton candy……..cotton candy!….cotton candy!!!…Cotton Candy!….COTTON CANDY!!!!…COTTON CANDY!!!!
I can't wait!
-
-
Sure! Rider sounds cool!
-
-
One more weeeeeek!!! I can't wait!!!
-
Make sure that when you're writing you call me Dragonrider so that you don't mix us up.
-
Of course!
My CAPTCHA just spelled "wont." Wow, that's contradictory!

Starting tomorrow, right?
-
Starting now!
All 11 particapants arrive at the playpark apparently seasick and grumpy. All of them arrive with hopes of this adventure cheering them up. Suddenly, Ruby (observant as he is) shouts, "Over there!"
Heads snap towards a stage where little rocks are playing guitars. That isn't the part that they are looking at, though. Someone has just steped on stage.
They (gender unknown) are wearing a snazzy sparkly pink sweater and bell bottom jeans.
All eyes are glued on him/her.
And s/he speaks. "I never told you this was a murder mystery, did I?"
There will be more, but I have to go. That was like the introduction!
-
I can't tell if you're being serious about me being observant or if you're making a joke. I presume joke.
This narrator's sense of fashion is 3000% better than anyone else's. Keep up the good work.
-
@Ruby-Joke it is!
———————————————————
Everybuggy stares in amazement.
"Wait, what?" says Somebody.
"You all simply assumed it," says the mysterious figure. "I'll tell you what's actually going to happen.
"First, you all go through a challenge. Whoever survives goes on to the next round. And don't worry, surviving doesn't actually mean living. It means escaping the torture booth." S/he points at an ominous looking booth off in a corner of the stage. All particapants shiver.

You know what! I think I forgot my very important… teddy bear? Is it too late to-
*Strange person cuts me off*
It is too late. *Creepy laugh*
-
Well, I'm sure we'll all make it through…right?
-
Perhaps…
And there will be a new installment tomorrow! Look for one each day! Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm not really in the mood for drawing names out of a hat. That will be tomorrow morning.
Oh, one more thing: If you get condemned to the torture booth, you can guess who I am and you can go home. The Playpark will keep going, but once you fail you can just leave as well.
-
OK, this is how it will work! I will announce which person will be challenged next. They can desperately try to guess me. If they don't by the end of two days, they are challenged.
Next up: Somebody!
By the way, the challenge order is completely random.
-
How many guesses do we get?
-
Let's say…3! And Somebody needs to guess before I can write again! If I am guessed and not everybody has gone yet, I still might give you a challenge….we'll see.
-
Um… this is now making me think of some very scary fanfictions…
<:/
Are you… Brookeira?
-
Or maybe… Rose bud?
Or… um…. let me give it some thought.
-
No and no. One more guess, and then your challenge!
-
Ummmmmm, almost no basis for this, but are you Over the Rainbow?
(Does the insurance cover this? Yes? Oh, so when I die or am injured on a mysterious story with a pen-name using author, the Murder Mystery Insurance covers that? Good. Oh, HERE are my suicide pills, I was looking for them.)
-
Yup. I'm OtR. How did you guess? I was thinking I wouldn't be discovered until at least the 5th person. Whatever. Here's the challenge order list:
Somebody
HAB
TARDISrider
Shadow Dragon
Cayke
Booksy
Danie
Dragonrider
Brookeira
St. Owl
Ruby
So if any of you guys still want a challenge, tell me and I'll do it. Somebody, if you do chose, I'll give you a hint: LAVA!
I still can't believe you got me. Wow. Tell me if you still wnat a challenge. You wont go to the torture booth if you fail, anyway. Wow, this was going to be so fun.
-
My reasons for choosing you:
a) Over would have joined by now.
b) You said "everybuggy." Not everyone on the Chatterbox says "everybuggy."
Sure, I'll take a challenge. I deal with lava on a daily basis (thanks, Volcano).
Besides, the admins would probably have censored half the stuff in the torture booth anyway.
-
Eh, got to make sure to be more discreet next time!
Anyway, here's your challenge. You can't use Volcano's help. I give you a choice. You answer. I write your outcome.
The mysterious figure in bell bottoms appears once again. "Somebody, it is your turn to be challenged. You see before you your trial."
Somebody looks out and sees a bubbling lake of lava and firebenders on either side posed to use it. There is a bridge running through, a perfect shot for the benders. You can..
a) Go across the bridge
b) Decline the challenge
c) Prepare to fight
d) Beg for mercy
e) Swim across.
This sounds really bad. I'm not that good at this kind of stuff.
-
I know I can't use Volcano's help, but I do have experience in dealing with fire.
C. I'm telekinetic, sonokinetic AND electrokinetic.

Somebody picks up a foot and places it on the bridge.
The nearest benders spring to action and start shooting lava. Somebody uses her telekineses to repel it, but as she concentrates on that, a little bit of lava does get spirted onto her shoe. "Ow, ow, ow!"
She takes of the shoe and throws it, then blasts all the benders with lighting. As they are stunned, she uses time to run across the bridge. She reaches the middle and picks up a bit of lava with her telekinesis. She throws it desperately at one of the benders, and it hits his face. "Yow!" He wipes the lava off to reveal a burned and blackened, grotesque face. Somebody jumps in horror, but keepd running, sending blasts of lightning frequently. She is almost at the end, running, running…
When she is stopped by a wall of lava, blocking her way. She musters her strength, preparing to telekinesify the lava away. She tenses up, and then pushes the air in front of it with her hands majesticly stretched out, palms out, in front of her.
To no avail. Three benders are pushing back, aware by now of her powers. She drops her gaze for a moment to look behind her. All clear. She gives an last mighty push to the lava and drops all power, sprinting towards the other side. Another lava wall rises to existance in front of her. She looks back, towards the end of the boardwalk.
She is trapped.
She pauses, thinking for a moment, and then decides on something. She strikes a running stance, all while lava is pushing toward her, closer and closer. She springs up and runs as fast as she can down the bard walk, towards the lava…and jumps, high into the air, using telekinesis to push herself along. She lands triumphatly, but wavers for a bit and one leg plunges into the sea of lava. She grabs the boardwalk, trying to hold on, and then desperately pulls her self out of the lava. She staggers towards the end, and the firebenders let her pass.
They have done their job.
Somebody limps onto steady ground and colappses onto thd ground. Medical emergency employees rush to her side, helping her.
"Somebody," booms the mysterious voice. "You completed the chalenge, but you are seriously hurt. You will stay in my care for the week, and then if you are sufficiently healed…you may go home!"
HAB, do you want a challenge?
-
I want a challenge, just so you know, but can you put me higher on the list?
I'm a master waterbender (ice, water, snow, mist, you get it) and I have really strong telekinesis. I also have minor telepathy and plants.
-
OK, fine. Just, you seem a tad OP, so could you maybe take away one of the more minor powers?
Revised line up:
HAB
Brookeira
TARDISrider
Shadow Dragon
Cayke
Booksy
Danie
Dragonrider
St. Owl
Ruby
We have to ask Hot Air Balloon before I do yours.
-
I'd still like a challenge, please.
-
-
-
-
Welp. I never had much power. I was made for humor, not fighting. Well, I have my raygun, my spinning wheel of doom, and a knack for punching.
-
Sure, scratch plants and telepathy.
-
-
OK, no more challenge order. I'll give Brooke and Booksy challenges, and then if anyone else wants I'll give one to them.
"Brookeira, it is time for your challenge."
Brookeira nods, and bravely steps forward.
"Now, you have one hour to get destroy this." Seemingly from the sky, a little glass ball drops into her hands.
"And one more thing: No using the lavalake."
a) Rebuke the challenge and fail
b) Call on your inner forces
c) Drop it in the lake 'by accident.'
d) Consult your peers
e) Start mapping out potential destruction methods
-
First e, then b. If not just b.
-
If you're ditching the challenge order, I want a challenge after Booksy.
-
Whoa, I don't want to be one of the lasts! You can't shove me out of the way!
-
l'll be after Danie.
-
-
OK. Dragonrider, you're after Booksy. And I see that Danie just posted, so I'm guessing she is after you. Not sure.
Don't be offended if this is really bad, OK? Thanks. Somebpdy's was fine, but only because I know how to write a good fight scene. This will be…different.
Brookeira inspects the orb in her hands. It is small, about the size of a walnut, but round instead of oblong. It is made of clear glass which sparkles in the sunlight and would be quite nice if she didn't have to do something about its destruction.
"Let's see…no lavalake. Do I possess lava powers? No. Destruction by lava is out. Actually–" she whips out a notebook and pen. She starts listing every possible destruction method that she can think of.
Lava
Combustion
Melt it
Smash it
Use telekinesis and break it into minescule pieces.
Waterbending.
Glass is made of sand. Doesn't help.
Then she goes back through the list.
Lava. Have none.
Melt it. How?
Smash it. No.
Waterbending. Not gonna help.
Glass is made of sand. Doesn't help.Yup, that's right.
Use telekinesis and break it into minescule pieces. Same as smashing it.
Her hopes are really down, when she looks at the last item on her list.
Combustion. If I could some how force its particles away from each other from the inside using telekinesis…it would be mimicking combustion, just without the heat.
Brookeira stands back. She drops the little ball on the ground. Closing her eyes and concentrating on all of her strenghth, she sends out telekineisis to the little orb and tries to put force on it from the inside.
Nothing. She tries again a few more times.
Nothing.
Ok, so what am I doing wrong? I'm sending power from my mind into it…that's it! She jumps up.
This time, instead of sending power from herself to the ball, she focuses on the power within it and uses it to force the orb into dust. It explodes and when the dust has cleared, there is nothing substantial left of it.
"Well done, Brookeira. That was an extraordinary use of telekinesis. Excallent job. You have passed. You may now go home. Or, if you like, you can visit Somebody in the medical booth." The mysterious figure in bellbottoms points to a faraway tent.
Brookeira, with a smile on her face, walks away to visit Somebody.
Coming up next…Booksy!
-
Yay! Just so you know, I have no powers but a magical book that writes itself depending on the situation. Looking forward to it!
