Aspen, you're in!

“Er, um, so I’m the director,” the girl muttered.
“Nighthawks dead!” Pablo screamed, a little late on the uptake.
The black snake coiled around the girl’s neck, making the crowd shiver. “Well, welcome to the Nocturnal express. We’ll be riding on this for another day, and then we’ll arrive at the train station. From there, we’ll go to the mansion. A gumball machine arrived shortly in your compartment after you left. It’s free,” the girl rushed on.
“Come on guys!” Kiki yelled to the AEs at the mention of free gum.
The AEs rushed back into the middle class compartment. The CBers and CAPTCHAs stayed. As the Director opened the door, and hurried into the engine room to take care of seemingly important matters, a whiff of cold air snaked out an open window.
Moonfrost felt a tremor pass through her body. “We have to figure this out,” a voice half-whispered.
Eight CBers spun around to see who had spoken. Aspen stood in the door, in a mismatched outfit of rainbow pajama pieces. “I agree,” someone else murmured.
“Find the killer,” Neko continued.
“And avenge Nighthawk,” Moonfrost finished.
~~~
The killer smiled back in the slumber-party compartment. Fools. Nobody could stop them. They would get what they needed, no matter how many CBers died in the process.
“Hey, Moony!” they called.
A look of annoyance flashed across Moonfrost’s face. “Don’t call me that. What?”
“I-urgh, was just feeling motion-sick. Could you accompany me to the first class compartment so I can – ugh – throw up without everyone seeing? It’s creepy in there,” the killer groaned, feigning sickness and fear.
“Of course!” Moonfrost said.
Too kindhearted, they’ll never do, the killer thought.
“I actually don’t think I need to vomit. Just a bit queasy,” the killer muttered.
“Ok.”
The killer nudged Moonfrost’s feet. She tripped. “Oh, sorry!” the killer said, stooping to help Moonfrost up.
As they did so, they clapped a poisonous pad to Moonfrost’s arm without her noticing.
The slow acting poison would kill Moonfrost in exactly 47 seconds, just as they would reach the compartment.

Dun

duuuuuuunnnnnnn…

Fatality in less than a minute is actually a very fast-acting poison. Slow poison kills in a matter of days, maybe weeks.
I brought a first-aid kit, and Nymph could theoretically shift into something poisonous. I don't think anyone else has a pad (except for someone who brought a pad of paper, but that's not quite the same) or poison, unless they're stolen. Does anyone get motion-sick?
-
I think the murderer was lying about getting motion sickness so they could get Moonfrost by herself and kill her. You probably won't find the weapons in the murder's luggage list because they might not have let us know everything they brought. (I wouldn't tell anyone if I were going to bring poison to kill them.) The length of time before the poison took effect is probably an artistic lisence, but you do seem to know a lot about poisons, Viola. Hmm…
-
Of course, but… Yeah, no, you're right, that was a stupid question.
I suppose, but we found knives in the luggage before.
What? I read a book. It's called The Poisoner's Handbook, although it's somewhat different inside. It's about a couple of scientists in some-time-ago America who deal with forensics related to poison deaths, and contains a bunch of murder mysteries and gory details. Also, I saw a video clip once where someone had rapid poisoning, and I think we covered poisonous plants in Biology. Your suspicions are not unfounded, though, I think I might know more than you, and other evidence suggests that I am the murderer. I'm mostly just not sure I can say "J'accuse!" to myself.
Mexi says copy! A real word!

Can you believe it?
Another ski lodge died.
It happens again and again.
One day, we'll have one solidly planned
One that doesn't meet an untimely end
Some slow-acting poison is killing them all
Two murders go before the fall
Again!
Please don't leave so many loose ends
on the story you made
for the rest of us.
If these are a trap, they're getting the best of us!
Invitation.
Sign up sheet.
Excitement among the crowd.
5/10 chance it'll actually start
9/10 for more than three days.
How?!
Endless spring.
Opal hotel.
The list goes on and on
It just won't stop
They always drop
Will I ever be in one that ends on
an ending?
Someday, there'll be a new one
One that will end and begin.
Welcome to the ry-
Huh, I just wrote a rap.
-
I just thought of something else we should talk about. Meet me on the thread in the TM section.
-
I mean, stuff happens sometimes. Maybe something cropped up in the offline world and The Director can't write anymore, or… they could have been the murder's latest victim. *ominous thunder in background*

I hope this doesn't die. I would really love to be in a ski lodge that finishes.

Uh, yeah, I kinda had to discontinue this because of the amount of school events I had coming up :). I think this reply is like six months late but whatevs. Now should I continue this? . . . yeah why not.
