Chatterbox: Inkwell
The last few rays of light danced along the clouds. The sun had officially set 20 minutes ago but you were still on the beach for some reason beyond me. It was quite relaxing with the waves crashing into the shore.
A ray of light flashed into your eyes and you were blinded for a moment. You found that a bit strange. As you rubbed your eyes you heard a fluttering of wings.
Once you regained your eyesight, you saw a little creature in front of you. It was all white except for a little black diamond on its chest. It reminded you of a baby polar bear with wings. In its mouth was a letter.
You hesitantly held out your hand to take it and the creature dropped the letter into your mouth. It chirped happily and fluttered away.
The letter in your hand seemed old. It was sealed with a wax seal stamped with a flower. No return address however it was addressed specifically to you and your current location. You carefully opened it and the letter flew right in front of you. You began to read:
Hello there fellow CBer,
I have written to you and a few others expressing my concern about a cabin. A specific cabin that is on a lake. You may have heard of it. Probably not though. It is called Et Flos Domum otherwise known as The Flower House. It has a beautiful garden and the bedrooms are flower themed but that isn't the point. Something has been going on. Besides it will be a relaxing experience. If you will come please fill out the form below and put it back in the envelope. Password=Necessity. The quicker you do the better.
Sincerely,
The Groundskeeper

You are a little surprised. You had never heard of this cabin before.
You notice how the letter never mentions how to get there or what lake it is on. After some deliberation you decide to fill out the form just to see if you can help in some way. Besides it's going to be a relaxing vacation. Right?
Before you can change your mind you fill it out and put the form back in the envelope. The creature appears again, grabs the note from your hand and flies away. As you watch it you realize that it is almost completely dark.
You turn to leave but realize that you are holding a flower. It seems to be a black rose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RULES:
1. Yes this is a ski lodge
2. Max of 10 CBers
3. Each CBer may bring AT MAX 2 companions. Please fill out the form for them.

I have my reasons.

Thank you, Raining Rainbows, for accepting my invitation!

I'm already in two ski lodges, but this looks like too much fun to pass up on. And it has a sort of. . . I don't know, aura, that reminds me of Viola? and Alizarine's ski lodge. Maybe it's the rose, or the password, or the odd questions in the form, or that the name of the resort isn't in English.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Here is my sheet. This looks like it will turn out wonderfully.
Name: PygmyOwl
Age: 13
Gender/pronouns: Female, she/her/hers
CBer, AE, or Captcha(If AE or Captcha how do you speak?): CBer
Appearance: Tallish for my age, and pretty skinny. Sometimes-sort-of-curly brown hair that falls barely to my shoulder bones. Oh, and purple and blue glasses. I'll be wearing a soft, flowy black dress with orangey patterns. It's beautiful. And black flats. But I'll bring a t-shirt, jeans, and boots for more sensible attire, just in case.
Personality: Shy, and introverted, but I can be less so around my friends. I love reading, writing, acting, and my flute. Also, I am pretty creative and I stand up for what I think is right. I am pretty opinionated. I am an INFP-T.Luggage:
Powers(optional): About ten books. A notebook and fountain pen. (It's purple.) And the extra clothes. And toiletries. And my flute and Les Mis sheet music and other sheet music. I have to practice! And a computer. Oh, and that lovely black rose that I was gifted with. Maybe I'll wear it in my hair sometimes.
What would you do if a leaf blower was blown at full speed in your face: Um. Shut my eyes. And run away. Maybe do a little scream for dramatic effect.
What do you eat for breakfast: On a perfect day, probably some sort of scones or muffins. Preferably pumpkin flavored.
Percent chance of being dramatic just because: I don't know, it depends on my mood. Somewhere between 57% and 83%. But I am really bad at percentages.
Password: Necessity
Other: I'm vegetarian every other week, and the rest of the time I'm vegan. Or, rather, I abstain from factory farmed animal products because of animal cruelty. And I'm bringing Abcde, my Alter Ego (not AE, she hates nicknames.) I'll post her sheet later.
Groundskeeper, are you Viola? or Alizarine? I know neither have been very active for a long time, but Viola? did post a CBversary thread recently, so there is still some hope.

Welcome Abcde! I am quite delighted that you are joining us!
(July 18, 2020 - 7:58 pm)
While I am flattered that you believe me to be Viola? Or Alizarine I am not! Thank you for accepting my invitation!
(July 18, 2020 - 6:34 pm)
I have now officaly decided. If I have powers of any sort, it will involve talking to animals, birds, owls, or pygmy-owls. Groundskeeper, you may choose whatever you think is powerful without being OP.

Flower themed things are always intriguing. There are always hidden meanings... for instance, the black rose. Yes, it is a real thing, although it's not really black, more purpley red in color. Anyways, as you may have guessed, it means "death," "danger," and "mystery-" all things in a ski lodge. Yes, I actually bothered to look that up. Now I shall quiet my language of flowers obsession and fill out the charrie sheet XD.

A bob of reddish brown hair held back with a navy headband. Tanned skin, dark brown eyes and mismatched earrings: one silver owl and one bronze horseshoe.
Personality: Very opinionated, with a fiery temper, spacy, scatterbrained, talks a lot, except when I don't, am very serious, unless I'm in a goofy mood. Yeah, that made no sense XD. Also, I sometimes say "question mark" at the end of my questions. Not sure why.
Luggage: A good supply of books, a violet cloth covered notebook embroidered with silver poppies on the spine, several changes of clothes, and a black pen.
Powers (optional): I can turn invisible, but unfortunately am rendered blind whenever I use this ability. You don't have to include this.

What do you eat for breakfast: A variety of things, but one of my favorites is oatmeal with a fried egg on top.

This looks intriguing, to say the least. All right. I'm in.
Can I maybe come too?
Of course! That's Winter, my AE.
Name: Summer
Age: No comment.
Gender/pronouns: She/her/hers
CBer, AE, or Captcha(If AE or Captcha how do you speak?): CBer
Appearance: Short brown hair, green eyes, bright blue t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. To be concise.
Personality: I dunno. Contradictory? I’m kinda cheerful, and I love laughing, but I’m an introvert, and I’m creative, and nice I guess, but pretty sensitive to even the most well-meaning of criticism.
Luggage: A large stack of books, a Swiss army knife, a cell phone, a notebook, and two pencils.
Powers (optional): None so far.
What would you do if a leaf blower was blown at full speed in your face: I would turn around, flap my arms, and try to fly!
What do you eat for breakfast: Cereal, mostly. Like 350 days a year.
Percent chance of being dramatic just because: A solid 21%.
Password: Necessity
Other: Well, I'm vegetarian. So yeah.
Name: Winter
Age: Ageless? I don't know. I look like a teenager, if that helps...
Gender/pronouns: He/him
CBer, AE, or Captcha(If AE or Captcha how do you speak?): AE, and I talk in... italics, I think.
Appearance: Well, gosh. I have black hair (like, really black) and pale skin, so people sometimes say I look like a vampire. (I’m not, though!) And I have golden eyes, and I wear this navy t-shirt, and jeans, and sneakers. I think that’s it.
Personality: People have said I’m sweet and a little awkward. I agree with the awkward part, but I don’t know about sweet. I’m definitely not the best judge of that. I’m extroverted, although I sometimes have a hard time starting conversations. And… I’m kind of sensitive, so maybe don’t tease me?
Luggage: Oh, I forgot about this part! Um, maybe a deck of cards? And a mask, just, you know, for safety?
Powers(optional): None, I don't think...
What would you do if a leaf blower was blown at full speed in your face: Honestly, I think I'd probably duck down and curl in a ball. Is- is that weird? It's probably weird.
What do you eat for breakfast: Mostly toast, but I really like pastries, too, if you have them. But if you don't, that's definitely fine!
Percent chance of being dramatic just because: Oh, haha, zero! I'm not dramatic at all.
Password: Necessity?
Other: I think that's it! Unless I forgot anything, Summer?
No, you're good!
