You lie down

Chatterbox: Inkwell

You lie down

You lie down on your bed, opening up your favorite book to re-read for the twentieth time, when you hear a knocking on your house outside. Curious,you go to your window to see what the matter is. You see a kingfisher with a letter tied to its back pecking on your wooden wall, then flying in fromt of you expectantly. You open the window, and the bird flies in. You untie the letter and read its contents:

What an odd invite, you think to yourself. How could something be both superstition-centered and scientific? Were these people mad? And most importantly, why send such a superstition - centered letter on Friday the thirteenth?

I AM GOING.

Are you just going to sacrifice yourself every time there's a ski lodge - 

Yes. Because I love murder stories.

Name: Nihil Etomnia

Gender: Female

Personality: A quiet, analytical, slightly emotionally dead, brutally honest, and competitive girl. Won't go down without a fight. Protective of the few things she values most; Rogue Wildling and Lux Ettenebris, neither of which are here.

Appearance: Light brown hair dyed black, usually flowing freely, influenced only by her left side-part, which makes the hair hide the right side of her face. Black hoodie, jeans, barefoot. Eyes as green as new leaves with specks of gold and black, with a cold gaze that seems to stare past physical objects. Four huge wings as black as night itself obscure her when viewed from the back. They have wickedly sharp claws at the joint and spikes along the foreframes. Can transform at will into a huge Undershade Canine, a wolf-like creature with four huge wings (see previous wing description), spikes jutting out of the scruff, and black fur. Eyes are the same, just wolf-eye-shaped. Undershade Canines stand ten feet tall at the shoulder.

Are you a part of Black Cat Establishments, associated with Black Cat Establishments, or are in any way connected to Black Cat Establishments *On this section, there are the words "Say No or Die!" in messy handwriting: *Grins evilly* I'll never tell.

Favorite Food: Isn't picky.

Favorite Superstition: None.

How you would like to die: If I die, I'm gonna put up a massive fight. Even if it's poison. If something goes wrong in my body my last breath will be spent on slashing whoever's near. If no one but the killer is around to see, I'm going to fight them like the world depends on it. Then, I don't want anyone to find my body for a long time. I want to be hidden in plain sight, but not found until the last few people are left.

I am easily antagonized, and if I'm angry I tend to threaten the person antagonizing me with punching them, which is a valid threat bc I am very strong. I trust easily at times, but I have very good judgement of a person's character. If I'm superexited I get supersuperdupercray-cray(crazy), and ya know.

Oh, my associate just reminded me! Apparently it is a cystom on the Chatterbox here to "guess" the secret identities of "Ski Lodge" owners. So, you may guess me! And one additional thing: When you first arrive at our offices, you will each be assigned a "codename" that relates to a certain superstition. I highly recommend you research the meanings behind these codenames, for they could help you in some way. Or will they mislead you? Oh my, I'm rambling again. Just remember: if something strikes you as odd, research it!
