Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You are invited
You are invited to a Winter Ski Lodge Murder Mystery!
Who: Everyone is invited to join. One of you is a murderer, but which one?
What: This is a murder mystery. Every day, one person will die. Who is it? That's your job to figure out.
When: The game will begin on January 1 and end whenever it ends.
Where: The Ski Lodge. In other words, this page.
RSVP: I don't really care as long as you join sometime in December.
Various sundry rules and explanations:
-Each day I will write the story (probably in the morning or right after I get home if I have school). After that, you're welcome and encouraged to write your own view of the day.
-Big one: This isn't violent or gory.
-The motto: The funnier, the better.
-Basic geography does not apply. The Ski Lodge and Surrounding Territories more or less rewrites itself depending on how I want you guys to die.
-I don't decide who dies, so it's completely impartial. I pull everyone's names out of the Sugarbowl. The murderer comes out first (so I can keep track, really) and then I just draw a new name every day.
-Yes, the Sugarbowl is a Sugarbowl. I couldn't find a good hat the first time I wanted to do this and there is actually a skiing place in California called the Sugarbowl, so I thought, well, why not? It's more or less my Death Note.
-Pleeaaaassseee don't ask me to give you some long ridiculous name to put in the Sugarbowl. "Melody the Awesome Authority on all things Disney who is really Awesome" is so large, of course it's going to be pulled out right away.
-Like any good cartoon, logic and physics are overrated.
I hope you can join us.
-The Omnipotent Narrator

@Maggie: I'm not calling you a tripod, Lizzy was once killed with a tripod named Maggie, but it wasn't named after you, it was named after one of my old English teacher's staplers. I totally forgot it was named Maggie until I read through the old story again recently.
@Grace: I'm pretty sure Charlie is a girl.
(January 2, 2014 - 5:44 pm)
Ah. I see.
(January 2, 2014 - 6:14 pm)
How do you know? I'm not saying I'm doubting you, but.......
(January 2, 2014 - 7:54 pm)
She used to post as Charlie (a girl).
(January 2, 2014 - 9:22 pm)
Okay. Glad to be your roomate Charlie!
(January 3, 2014 - 10:51 am)
These are HILARIOUS!
-BTW I am totally a dwarf.

Day 3
Theo grandly outlined his plan to the others the night before.
Theo: Okay, so on the third day here, last time, the staff all left and it started snowing really hard, leaving us snowed in. That happened the time before, right?
Gollum: Right.
Theo: So this time, I have a plan. We don't let the ski lodge staff leave and we don't get snwoed in, and then we can walk away safely if anything weird starts to happen!
S.E.: What does "anything weird" mean?
SC: Knowing the CB? You don't want to know.
Maggie: Theo, what if it snows anyway even if we don't let the ski lodge staff leave?
Theo: Then, uh, we'll be snowbound with staff who'll take care of us! That's cool!
Plans were drawn up and in the morning, Agent BHR was on the case.
Agent BHR: Agent BHR. Agent Ima, I'm moving out. Are checkpoints clear? Over.
Agent Ima: Agent Ima, Checkpoint Alpha clear. Over.
Agent Blu: Agent Blu, Checkpoint Beta clear. Why are we using Walkie-Talkies when we all have cell phones, anyway? And we're about twenty feet apart! Over.
Mission Control Teresa: Mission Control here. Agent Blu, focus. Walkie-Talkies are cooler. Over.
Agent BHR: Well, this is... bad.
Mission Control Teresa: Mission Control, Agent BHR is in trouble. Agent Tovah, back her up! Over.
Agent Tovah: Agent Tovah, I'm on it. Over. What's the problem, Agent BHR?
Agent BHR: Did anyone look out the window?
Agent Tovah: ...Oh.
It seems that an enormous amount of snow fell in the night while you all weren't paying attention. A quick search shows that the ski lodge staff are nowhere to be found. (You really thought you could thawrt the fate given to you by a die-hard Oedipus fan this easily?) A longer search by the agents reveals something... else.
Agent Tovah: Ummm, does this count as "anything weird"?
Agent Ivy: Yeah, that'll probably work.
The next logical course of action involved screaming their heads off. Melody bursted in on the scene.
Melody: What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere.
Ivy: Ewwwwww-
Melody: What's this? I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming. Wake up, Melody, this isn't fair. What's this?
The rest of the ski lodgers arrived, drawn by the screams and Melody's singing.
Corina: Ahhh! Oh my god, BHR, did you do this?
Melody: What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong. What's this? There's people singing songs.
Grace: The only one singing is you, you know.
Melody: There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads. They're busy building toys and absolutely no one's dead.
Gilraen: No, someone is, and that's our problem!
Skyler: I think I'm going to faint. *passes out*
Blackberry: Wow. That's the first time I've seen anyone faint.
Bounty: Let's take pictures of him!
Watermelon: Forget Skyler, there's a stabbed girl lying on the carpet and I have no idea where she came from!
Gollum: No one knows, Watermelon, but it's nothing to get worked up about.
Watermelon: Nothing to get worked up about? NOTHING TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT?!NOTHING TO GET WORKED UP ABOUT??!! *runs out of breath*
Charlie: Yeah, I'm confused, too. What's going on?
Red: Ah, you see, back in the ancient days of ski lodge lore, there was a ferret, and this ferret had a particular passion for drinking pea soup. So the ferret went to the Mountain of Trials and did many Trials and defeated the Twin Dragon Scorpion Monster God Beings and became an innkeeper on the sea. His HP went up by 2, his Attack went up by 3, and he learned "Dragon Rage". And-
S.E.: Does this have anything to do with anything?
Red: But you see, *confidential whisper* It does the boots and shoes.
S.E.: What-
Lizzy: Ignore him. This girl looks to be Sir Jem Louise Margaret III. JLM for short.
Red: Which can be pronounced like "Jalem" if you're in a hurry.
Gollum: And then she becomes a "Jalemming".
Theo: And she has a talent for being stabbed.
Corina: How is that possible? A talent for being stabbed?
Ima: Let's just... leave her here for now. And I'm sure she'll be fine... later.
SC: I don't follow your logic.
Teresa: Shh, we don't need logic here. Now, come on, let's forget about this whole thing and go ski.
Because the staff has ever so mysteriously dissappeared, chores will be done by the lodgers and it only took me two years to come up with a good method for it. Theo provided a top hat, names of people were written on little slips of paper, and whenever a chore needs to be done, a name will be pulled out of the hat and they will have to do that chore. Theo, of course, denies all charges that he has a loaded hat.
Skyler: Oh, did you guys leave me in the room with the dead girl?
Suddenly, all CBers were unavailable for comment.
Skyler: Huh. Weird. All I found was a giant sock when I woke up. It wouldn't make a bad sleeping bag, only it smells like giant feet.
(January 3, 2014 - 12:14 pm)
I take this to mean that no CBers will die until tomorrow.
(January 3, 2014 - 2:35 pm)
You are probably right.
(January 3, 2014 - 4:21 pm)
I love this! They're soooooo funny! I get so excited when I see that you've posted a new one.
Can't wait for tomorrow's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spammy says bxye. Bye? Is Spammy predicting that I'm going to die soon?!
(January 3, 2014 - 2:40 pm)
"Let's take pictures of him!"
(January 3, 2014 - 3:54 pm)
When are people going to start dying?
(January 3, 2014 - 3:57 pm)
Perfect use of the song.
Out There from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
(January 3, 2014 - 4:24 pm)
I like how you added in the "What's This" song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think.
