You are invited

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

Darn. Snow in my hair.

Hopefully it will show up this time. It's a little cut off, but all you're missing is a little bit of the "W" in "Welcome"

Ah, so tiny. Oh well.

I died yesterday. That's weird because I was really sick, maybe there was something in that tea! O.O Now I shall forever be scared of tea. And I shall come and haunt you  . . .

(Also, with this can I still come back and post after I've died?)

Sorry, I hate to refuse people, but at this point, I cannot accept anyone else into the ski lodge while the mystery is underway.

Sure thing, little bro. I'll need to come up with a good character, but once I do, I'll be right over.

I was going to write Day 8 last night and post it this morning, like I did for Day 7, but I got sidetracked yesterday. Blame Sakura if you like, as it's all her fault. I'll write it up when I get home from school, so just check back later tonight for Day 8. Thank you for your patience!

Day 8 

Alas, alack, our dear friend Ima has perished tragically, much like my sense of humor. While skiing, an enormous boulder came rolling down her ski slope, crushing her flat.

SC: And this, ladies and gentlemen, is an example of inertia. Giant objects, once in motion, tend to stay in motion, while smaller objects in the giant object's way tend to get smashed.

Lizzy: This is your physics lesson of the day, kids, on one of Newton's laws of mechanics. Whoever said the Chatterbox wasn't educational has just been proved wrong.

Ivy: Who said the Chatterbox wasn't educational?

Lizzy: Umm... I'll get back to you on that.

To make matters worse, Melody has a sore throat.

BHR: I'll make you some tea with honey!

Theo: Hmm, soothing throats, honey, tea, Corina...

BHR: Geez! Why would I kill Corina?! She's my twin bestie! And I'm not going to poison Melody, either. What's up with you guys all thinking I like killing people?

Maggie: You did stab Jem Louise Margaret.

Skyler: Your decapitated Barbie collection is rather impressive. 

Red: The question is, was this sore throat of Melody's an accident or on purpose?

Bounty: I'd blame Teresa, but there would be certain... complications.

Tovah: Didn't Blue Fairy and Melody serenade S.E. yesterday?

S.E.: *shivers* Oh, pish, I don't hold grudges for little things like that! Not at all! Not... at... well... maybe a little... *shivers*

While BHR makes the tea and the others "help" (standing around in the kitchen is very helpful!), Melody was growing ever weaker. Dr. Grace entered the kitchen.

Dr. Grace: Blue Fairy... I'm afraid she doesn't have much longer.

Rushing to the makeshift infirmary (Blu and Melody's room), the skiers witnessed a heartbreaking scene of two close sisters saying goodbye.

Blue Fairy: Melody, don't leave me!

Melody: Oh, Blu! Our time together has been so precious and yet so short! Now I must leave you, Blu, for the next great adventure. You cannot follow me where I go. Now, where are the rest of those skier whippersnappers? I want to talk to them.

Watermelon: Oh, Melody, your throat sounds horrible! You poor thing!

Red: You look horrible, too! It looks like you don't have that much time left!

Melody: Somebody slap Red for me.

Blackberry: With pleasure.

Melody: It's been a grand time, friends. (*slap!* "Ow!") We've shared so many, many memories. I can remember back to the good old days with the limbo party, all that Coca Cola, and all those interesting characters.

Lizzy: Yes, those were good times, old friend. (Melody: Who you callin' old???!!! I mean, *hack hack cough cough* I'm very feeble and my throat is so sore. Whoa is me.) I remember your faithful Sonny came all the way out to insult our fashion senses.

Melody: Oh, she got Zach's phone number, did you know? They call each other all the time now. Of course, she won't let me listen in onto the conversations.

Lizzy: I'll miss you, Melody, when you're gone! Say hi to Gollum for me!

Melody: Blu, I bequeath all my Disney stuff to you. It's your inheritance. And now, Blu, you must take over my role as Annoying Talking Animal. Sing the songs of our people, my child! Sing! And thus, with a hug, I die.

Blue Fairy: Um, okay? Is it okay if it's an awkward hug?

Melody: That'll do. Now, leave me to my suffering! 

Gilraen: Gee, she's a little... dramatic.

Ivy: Who wants to bet that she'll be bright and healthy tomorrow?

Blue Fairy: And in honor of my sister with a sore throat, I'll sing "The Unbirthday Song"!

Tovah: What's an unbirthday?

The unbirthday, my dear Tovah, is an item that exists in the Disney animated Alice in Wonderland but most certainly does not exist in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In its sequel, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, Humpty Dumpty names it as a day that's not your birthday. Now there's a nice knock-down argument for you!

Tovah: I'm so sorry I asked.

BHR: Ahh, the tea! I forgot all about it! One moment!

And as she raced by with a hot pot of tea shouting, "Make way, make way!" she ran into Jem Louise Margaret who was cleaning a block of knives. Knives and tea flew everywhere and BHR was forced to clean it all up herself as punishment for running with a steaming pot of tea. JLM would have loved to help clean up, but sadly, she was rather dead at the time. I hate when these things happen, don't you? Terribly inconvenient.

Rest in peace, Ima. Rest in peace.
