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?

back to the Inkwell

Name: Fleet

Gender: Female

Personality: Energetic, though I can be very shy when I'm in a situation when I don't know anyone. I'm geeky, fierce, sometimes a little violent, emotional, smart, and witty. I tend to rush into things, and I have a tendency to say I'm fine when I'm not. 

Appearance: Black hair cut like Faith's from Mirror's edge (I AM SO ENVIOUS OF FAITH'S HAIR), with hot pink highlights in it. I have a birthmark on my cheek that looks like the spade symbol from a playing card. Cropped hoodie with the Destiny logo on it (I wish all shirts were hoodies), and black athletic shorts with white stripes on the sides. 

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: Uh, no I guess. I'm not particularly fond of dying. 

Favorite Food: SPICY RAMEN!

Favorite Superstition: Probably the black cat one. I don't believe in superstitions, but since I had a black cat who was jerky and insane, she was definitely bad luck.

How you would like to die: Sacrificing myself to save someone? Also, can I please say something witty to my killer before I die? Thanks so much!!! (I'm being weirdly energetic about this)

Name: WILDCARD

Gender: Female! GIRLS RULE BOYS DROOL (Fleet: Hey, take it down a notch, girl!)

Personality:  AWESOME! (Fleet: Wild, you have to say more than that...) Ok fine... Super energetic, definitely weird, witty, funny, and possibly a little ADHD. Aaaand, sometimes I can get a little overly emotional... but I promise I can be calm! It just... takes a while. 

Appearance: B E A U T I F U L  Naw, JK. I have spiky hot pink hair and bright blue eyes. I'm a black stocking cap with little devil horns on it, an oversized dark blue sweatshirt with a white ghost face on it, and distressed black jean shorts. 

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: Uhhhhh... nooo???

Favorite Food: EVERY FOOD (Fleet: Be specific, please.) Ok, ok. I love strawberry cake, spicy food, and raspberry lemonade! 

Favorite Superstition: I'm not superstitious.

How you would like to die: Looking awesome and putting up an EPIC fight that will make my killer regret killing me! Ooh, and I want them to end up all bruised and bloody and regretful-- (Fleet: Dude, that's enough! Calm down!)

Name: Kanib, formerly Taay

Gender: Female I think? She's a Captcha. 

Personality: Bubbly, innocent, hard to subdue, surprisingly brave for a captcha but a little bit jumpy. 

Appearance: A flying septopus (octupus with seven arms) with a very round body and sparkly kawaii eyes. The tips of her tentacles turn a different color depending on her emotion. 

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: I don't believe she is, that doesn't seem like something my captcha would do...

Favorite Food: She likes cupcakes and ramen. Sometimes together.

Favorite Superstition: Opening an umbrella inside, since she loves umbrellas. 

How you would like to die: She says she wants to die protecting me or WILDCARD. What a great captcha.

Hi! I am coming with Alice, one of my AES. 

Name: Dusk Sky

Gender: Female

Personality: nerdy, cheerful, a tiny bit of an extrovert, sarcastic, can sometimes have a temper 

Appearance: short brown hair. Brown eyes and glasses. Blue shirt with a pile of books on it. Brown shorts. White sneakers. 

Are you part of Black Cat Establishments, associated with Black Cat Establishments, or in any way connected to Black Cat Establishments: No. Why do you guys hate this place? Do you not like black cats or something? 

Favorite food: hamburgers

Favorite superstition: Black cats bring bad luck.

How you would like to die: Peacefully, without much pain. Maybe die in my sleep or something. But if I HAD to have pain while I die, I would like my death to come quickly. 

Name: Alice 

Gender: female 

Personality: *sighs* not very friendly or social. I am kind though! Shy...nerdy.....bookworm...

Appearance: long blond wavy hair, freckles, glasses. I will be wearng a casual pink shirt. Jeans. 

Are you part of Black Cat Establishments, associated with Black Cat Establishments, or in any way connected to Black Cat Establishments: No, I have never heard of it. It sounds a bit menacing though. I am curious now. Do you have any books on the subject? 

Favorite food: Salad. 

Favorite superstition: All of them. They are all so intriguing. 

How you would like to die: Basically what Dusk said. Not extremely painful. Not a very long death, either, though I would like to say goodbye to my loved ones before I die. I don’t know why I am analyzing this. Most of the time I would get digitally revived if I die. But, Yeah, what Dusk said.

When the sixteen attendees exited their carriages,  they were awestruck by what lay before their eyes. There was a freshly painted and cozy cedar cottage, with the occasional flower doodle on its walls. More than that, the walkway was a mass of dazzling golden squares, an exquisite porcelain angel fountain situated in the center. And to top it all off, the entryway was covered head to toe in refined and extravagant decor, ivory-colored with the occasional spring coloring. 

Some CBers and AEs promptly recognized one another and began to chat, while others played clapping games and sang tunes from familiar musicals. A few introverted guests sat alone and kept to themselves, an indicative example being Alice.  She was lost in her own world, scouring the pages of her newest book when a hellish screech interrupted her. The entirety of the guests slapped their hands over their ears. Screams erupted from many CBers and AEs, Ameri and WILDCARD louder than all the rest.
"Quiet everyone - I said QUIET!"
The chatter abruptly ceased as an ebony-haired child- about twelve- stomped onto a broad white platform. She wore a white cardigan, a laced black shirt, and white leggings.  Her ebony hair extended to her back's end, and she had neat bangs that nearly covered her scarlet eyes. The girl grunted, flipped the relatively small megaphone, and leaned it towards her mouth.
"INTRODUCING," the megaphone shrieked once more, "YOUR HOSTESS AND A FAIRLY DECENT WOMAN, ESTELLA OPAFRU!"
The girl pointed to her right and snapped her pale fingers. Gold sparks sprayed from her fingertips, gathering in a ball in the spot she was designating. The ball suddenly burst, forming into a towering and opulent youthful woman. She wore a shimmering, deep emerald dress, which matched one of her eyes, and ebony high heels with azure polka-dots, the dots matching her other eye. The crowd erupted in applause at her sight, which made her pale cheeks turned cherry red. 
"Thank you, thank you," her British accent responded as she strutted upon the podium, "As my assistant, Wren, informed you, I am Estella Opafru, the woman who invited you here. My associates and I are very eager to show you White Oak. Before we do so, we must give you all a keycard." The girl, Wren, picked up a briefcase from the side of the podium and opened it. Inside were thousands of white keycards. 
"To get anywhere in the establishment," Estella explained, "You will need to use your keycard. In addition, each keycard has a word on it. These words will be your codenames and the names by which we will call you all. When your name is called, please come up and read the name on your keycard, so all may familiarize themselves with it. First, Dusk Sky."
Dusk's pupils dilated. Hesitantly, she got out of her chair and stepped towards the podium. Once she had received her keycard, she nervously recited the word on the back:
"Robin."
Dusk sighed deeply with relief. Estella leaned over to Wren and whispered very quietly, so not even Alice, who was right by the podium, could hear. Estella called up Fleet, who bounded out of her chair and practically hurled herself onto the podium. Laughing, Estella gave her the keycard, which read the word Owl. Wildcard was called next.
"Punkah?" She boomed with laughter, "What in the name of Cricket is a punkah?!"
The entire crowd seemed puzzled, so Estella explained.
"A Punkah is a type of electric fan originating in India," she chuckled warmly.
"Yeah, dumbo," Wren groaned, "EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. Now GET OFF THE PODIUM!"
The rest of the people were called up. A mysterious man with messy black hair was named Bat. Nihil was Elder, Summer was Foxglove, and her AE Spring was Sparrow. Kanib and Alister were both called up at the same time and were both given the Crow keycard. This caused even more puzzlement than the Punkah, but Estella was unwilling to explain. Nyx was the Pink Dolphin, which sounded a lot more pleasant than Apollo's Coyote.  La'crosse was given White Butterfly,  Naomi was Marsh Crake, Atlantis had Raindrop, and Atlantis laughed herself silly at Ameri's Bubble. 
"And finally, Alice."
Alice strolled onto the podium. She grabbed the last card in the box, and read it aloud:
"Black Cat."
The crowd gasped. Alice gaped at the card, turning around accusingly at the two ladies. However, their composure was still flawless, and they seemed a bit...giddy? Even Wren, the spiteful, impatient Wren had a smirk on her face. Before Alice could scold them, Estella let out another one of her teasing chuckles.
"I know the assumptions you must be having, my people," she grinned, "But you mustn't worry. You see, Black Cats can actually be considered lucky in some cultures."
"Besides," Wren giggled, "They're just names, right?"
The two ladies had a good laugh over that. Alice, walking down from the podium, was not enjoying it as much. She could feel the crowd's eyes boring into her skin. The scent hanging in the air was not one of beauty and pastries; no, it was one of distrust, caution, and fear. It was a ski lodge, after all. Don't you know what people do on ski lodges?
People die.

I find it hilarious that out of all the AEs, the attention-hating Alice gets to be the most mentioned in your post, and the most important? character as of right now, because I am guessing she is going to be the first victim.

Also, I am a robin! Yay!

Dusk, it really is fascinating how you believe we will simply throw Alice aside. You see, Alice's paperwork describedsome qualities that seemed very...beneficial to us. But enough about that. Enjoy your robin-hood, Dusk, and all the useful connotations along with it.
