Hello there Darling,
Chatterbox: Inkwell
Hello there Darling,
Hello there Darling,
I suppose you are wondering why I've written you a letter, trust me, I didn't want to. The Master is dead. There. I've said it. Or rather written it? I don't understand letters.
Anyway, The Master is dead and you could be the heir. Dreadful, I know. Why not me, you ask? Simple: I was not in The Master's will. But you were. Along with a few others but only one of you is the heir.
I must warn you, only one of the guests who will be visiting this week knows something. What that something is, I am unsure. The Master sent one last letter before death and I was not allowed to read it or see who it went to. If it went you you, then disregard this entire paragraph, stop reading, and please, do not come.
Now that we have settled that, Darling, I do hope you attend. You may not remember this place or me but I would be delighted to see you one last time.
If you are going to be in attendence please fill out the form below. Do not worry about transportation or baggage, all of that will be taken care of for you per The Master's last request.
I wish you the best of luck,
The Attendant
You recieved this letter at some point during the day. It may have been on your face when you woke up or it could have magically apeared while you were walking down the stairs. No matter what, it freaked you out. You notice that a piece of paper falls to the floor it reads:
Form:
Name:
Age:
Gender/Pronouns:
Apearence:
Personality (5 words or less):
Biggest Strength:
Biggest Weakness:
Favourite Flower:
Do you know the answer?
Do you know the answer? What's that supposed to mean? You fill out the form and it bursts into flame, almost burning your hand. You drop it and it disapears. So does the letter. You have no proof that this instance happened and you have no proof that anything will come from it. I wonder how your sanity is doing.
~~~~~
Alrighty then, a few quick rules that need to be out of character:
1. I am accepting 10 CBers not AE's or Captchas
2. If you have any magical powers, no you don't
3. updates will (hopefully) be weekly if not more frequent. I am, in fact, a living breathing human being who does have a life so that may not always be the case
4. This is a ski lodge/solo write because yes people will die but also there is a story line that will emerge
5. Please be nice and have fun!
Also feel free to guess who I am.

Alrighty time is... well... it's time
Day 1 Part 4/Day2 Part 1
Reuby was shocked. Where did all of these people come from? Did they all die in The Manor?
The man was still standing in front of her, "Uh hello?" He waved his hand in her face "You there?"
"Yes I'm here." She smacked his hand away.
"Sorry you seemed out of it"
"I'm fine." She snapped
He nodded and slowly backed away before returning to whatever he was doing before seeing her.
Reuby walked around looking for a clothing store or a boutique or really anything. She had no success.
All of the buildings were completely unmarked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The guests all sat down for dinner eyeing each other suspiciously. Celeste felt a cool breeze suddenly float across her back making the hair on her neck stand up. Writing felt exhausted, xe thought it was the middle of the night but it was only 5:30. It was a strange sort of fatigue that spread among the guests.
Galium felt extremely disoriented. To her, time was relative. Nothing in the past 24 hours felt like the past 24 hours. She would not be surprised to learn this was all a fever dream.
They were served soup that was catered to each of their preferences and it just appeared in front of them.
Darkvine was the first to eat the strange soup but she soon found it to her liking.
All of the guests finished eating and the bowls disappeared.
"All right everybody!" Sterling said getting up on one of the tables, "We are going to enact a buddy system! No one goes anywhere alone!"
Everyone outwardly nodded and cheered in agreement. One, however, silently smiled.
As the sun began to set, The Attendant sat in their office and looked over The Town. They couldn't see the people but they knew Reuby was down there. They only hoped that she would be the first to survive.
That night, everyone returned to their rooms. They all got ready for bed, and some fell asleep immediately while others laid awake.
Gallium was one of these others. But something strange began to happen.
As soon as the clock struck 12:00am, Gallium found it difficult to breathe. She tried to sit up but her arms wouldn't move. She couldn't feel them. The numbness spread throughout her whole body; she was unable to call for help.
She could feel the numbness creep towards her heart and she could only think about what was about to happen.
She never heard the door softly creak open. She never saw the figure stand above her and place a single lavender flower over her.
Gallium was dead.

OH SHOOT! GOSH THE GODDESS HYLIA, OH MY BIRD....wait, Gallium, arn't you with me now, we can figure this out together!

My apologies for being so late with this. See finals week tends to take up my time very quickly.
Day 2 Part 2
Gallium woke up with the sunlight in her eyes. A breeze drifted over her causing her to roll over and attempt to pull her blanket over her.
There was no blanket.
Gallium's eyes shot open and she saw the sky and a rather dirty looking town with old buildings.
Reuby Moonlight heard a shout of alarm and imedietly took off running. She quickly found someone in the same place that she arrived in The Town.
"Reuby?"
"Gallium?"
"I thought you were dead! We all did!" Gallium scrambled to her feet and pulled Reuby into a hug.
Reuby awkwardly stood there, "Technically we both are. Up there at least."
"Wait, what?"
Reuby gestured to The Manor that could be seen up on the hill surrounded by a blanket of morning fog.
"How did you die?" Reuby asked.
"Poison. I think. I don't know who killed me though."
"Well I do..."
(I'm not giving it away that easy!)
~~~~~~~~~
The Attendant hurridly rushed back and forth throwing books around. They had to figure out who The Heir was and fast. They were running out of time, they could feel it. The Master would be so disapointed with them.
~~~~~~~~~
The Guests were gathered in the dining hall. Well all of the guests without Gallium.
"Where is she?" Avara asked. She was beginning to get worried.
"We all should go check her room." said Tsuki.
"She could just be sleeping in, right?" asked Pangolin.
"I don't know guys, she doesn't seem like that kind of person" said Red Starlight.
Eventually the guests all decided to go up to Gallium's room together.
Sterling knocked on the door, "HELLO? GALLIUM!"
"WAKE UP! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD OR SOMETHING!" someone shouted.
Their knocking and yelling managed to get the attention of The Attendant, "What in the name of all things good are you doing!?" They yelled.
All of the guests fell silent and turned towards The Attendant.
"Gallium didn't show up to breakfast this morning." said Writing quietly.
"What?" The Attendant flew open the door and stormed in. They were met with a grave sight.
Gallium was dead with a single flower placed over her.
The guests said nothing. Avara eyed Pangolin. Tsuki eyed everyone. No one trusted anyone.
The Attendant faced the remaining guests, "Stay in pairs at all times. Always be with the same person. Always. Never be alone here, it is not safe. I cannot allow you to leave still but trust me, this will fix itself." They walked away.
"How?" Celeste asked, "How?! There is a murderer on the loose how is this going to fix itself?"
"Okay, okay. Pairs. Let's make a list of the pairs. So we can catch the murderer." said Tsuki.
The list ended up being:
Writing and Jaybells
Darkvine, Pangolin, and Avara
Celeste and Tsuki
Sterling and Red Starlight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To The Guests in The Manor:
When you look out the window what do you see?
To my visitors in The Town:
What is that smell?
Dead: Reuby, Gallium
Alive: Avara, Red Starlight, Writing, Darkvine, Jaybells, Celeste, Sterling, Pangolin, Tsuki

ITS SO GOOD!!!!!! i love how the Someone is just all, "PLEASE DONT BE DEAD OR SOMETHING..." lol.
in answer to the question... a dark, fruitless landscape, wreathed with shadows and secrets.
*secretly hoping i'm the Heir and if not me, then who...*
(May 31, 2022 - 9:16 pm)

captcha says "ikbrb" i know, be right back

This is so so cool, and a very unique take on the ski lodge genre! Answering your question, I see...nothing. Apparently, the curtains of the particular window I am looking out of are closed, obscuring the landscape outside.
