Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Day 0
This person might consider themselves to be an ordinary person, but today the life they have always lived might take a turn for the extraordinary. On May 15, a day like any other, this person picks up the mail. There are the usual ads, a letter from a family member, and- what's this? A letter addressed to the person but with no return address? Curious, this person thinks. Tearing open the envelope, the person reads the letter.
Dear Reader,
If you have received this letter, you have been invited to the greatest ski lodge party ever to occur. We would be very pleased if you would attend. We shall begin on July 15, giving you two months to RSVP. We shall be very sad if you cannot attend. Come, come! Join in our celebration. We have but a few rules:
- In the past, a couple of murderers have seemed to sneak into the lodge and murdered everyone. If you're a murderer, stay away, unless your name is Melody, Red, or BHR.
- It's all fun and games here. No matter what happens, everything shall be silly and fun.
- If you have no idea what I'm going on about, you can read the rules to any of the past ski lodge adventures (the top comment on Pudding's Place should be one). If you do, ignore this and keep reading.
- A new day is usually posted in the morning by me. Every day, a new installment in the story occurs.
- You're very welcome to write your point of view of the day (why most people don't is a mystery to me!) but please wait for me to put the day up first.
- Logic sometimes gets tossed out the window. Nobody needs that stuff!
- I do not pick who lives and dies- my immortal companion, the Sugarbowl, carries your names and I randomly draw them out.
- If you ask me to put a really long, narcissistic, name into the Sugarbowl (*cough cough Melody cough cough*)- Excuse me, I seem to have come down with a bit of a cold. As I was saying- if you do ask me to put such a long name in, I will ignore you and probably tease you about it for the rest of your life. Don't think I won't.
- I tend to make fun of people a lot (*cough cough Melody cough cough*). My goodness, that really is a very persistent cold! Please don't take it personally. Also, I am sure I will mess up someone's gender. Don't take that personally either. I botch personalities and tend to make a general mess of things. Moral of the story: Don't take anything here personally. If I mess with you, it means I like you.
- What a hypocrite- "but a few rules", my foot.
- I always feel like this section is hard to write. Eh, if you don't get things, read another rule page, or ask me questions.
We look forward to your participation. Please come join the show.
-The Omnipotent Narrator
The Sugarbowl is waking up... It is time to choose your own adventure. Will you come join?

Tuck Everlasting is a very underappreciated book, isn't it? It's very well-written and deals with a very interesting topic, but I've seen very few people read it. Glad to know that someone else besides me has read it!
(August 5, 2014 - 12:26 pm)
Sure have!

When I saw that I had quite a big part in day 13 I was like oh, I'm dead. Drat! I wanted to be murderer!"

Day 14
“Where’s Red going with that ax?” said Nina to her friend as they were setting the table for breakfast.
Violet: Oh, probably to take out those who had that snowball fight indoors yesterd- wait, we need to stop him!
Fortunatly, the two girls were able to wrest the ax away from the deranged teenage boy before any serious damage occured (although they did knock over a vase and stabbed Jem Louise Margaret with the ax in the process).
Nina: No! Killing people is bad!
Blue Fairy: Yeah, Red. Should have learned that a long time ago.
Red: Oh, really? Your sister should have too.
Coincidentally, Watermelon was found murdered with an ax a few hours later.
Ellie: “Coincidentally”? The murderer here is as plain as the nose on my face.
Red: They took the ax away from me! I bet it was Violet. She looks very nefarious.
Violet: Hey, I put the ax in the closet. Anyone could have taken it.
Mag Fan: I saw Teresa go to the closet earlier...
Teresa: I was getting more rags. Ellie and I were dusting, remember?
Ellie: Yeah, we were. She didn’t go off long enough to kill anyone, I would have noticed.
Bounty: Oh, Mom’s not going to be happy again... Let’s just hope we don’t get skinned this time!
Watermelon’s Ghost: Tell me about it. I’m not looking forward to that!
Alice: ... Say, Watermelon, did you happen to see your murderer?
Watermelon: Yup! But I’m not telling because it’s more fun that way!
Ivy: Wha- you cheeky ghost!
FEP’s Ghost: It’s more fun to watch you guys run around like little ants trying to figure out who did it.
SPF: If you’re going to hang around, don’t gloat about it.
Joe’s Ghost: But where’s the fun in that?
BHR: Hello, Ghostbusters? We have a situation here.
John’s Ghost: We may have overstayed our welcome. Goodbye then!
Bookbug: You’re calling the Ghostbusters?? I want an autograph from them!
Madeline: Forget the Ghostbusters for a second.
Bookbug: ... Forget the Ghostbusters?
Madeline: Yeah, we have a bigger thing to worry about.
Bookbug: .... Forget the Ghostbusters??!?!
Madeline: You know, puppy -dog eyes don’t work on me.
Bookbug: ..... FORGET THE GHOSTBUSTERS???!!!?!??!
Madeline: Guys, a little help, please?
Bookbug: ........ FORGET THE GHOSTBUSTERS???!!1????!!!111cos0
Madeline: I’m sorry! Just for a moment! Justice must be served!
Bookbug: Oh, serving justice? Okay, I like that too.
Madeline: I think we ought to blame someone for this murder, and thus I say we lock up Red for a few hours as punishment.
Moss: Yay!
Madeline: Also he ate my ice cream last night and I’ll never forgive him for that.
Moss: Yay!
Reed: I humbly volunteer myself and FantasyQuill to be jailors!
FQ: Wait, why me?
Reed: Because you look like you can sew or something and we have to beat the competition! Ivy and Moss’s Tin Couture hats already have their own website and are selling internationally! We can beat them at their own game- Tin Topic!
FQ: No.
Reed: How about Tin’s Secret?
FQ: No.
Reed: Tin Eagle?
FQ: No.
Reed: TINBERCROMBIE!
FQ: ... What?
With Red locked up... I have no one to set up the punch lines with anymore. That’s sad.
Melody: Don’t worry! He lives in you!
... Yeah, no-
Melody: He lives in me! He watches over everything we see!
Red: Well, that’s just creepy.
Where did you come from, sir?
Red: Reed was working so hard on trying to get FantasyQuill to model aluminum foil jeans that I walked out of my jail cell.
Rest in peace, Watermelon. Rest in peace.

Bookbug's Day 14
Heh, heh. Sorry Madeline. I should've warned you about my love of Ghostbusters. Anyway, I can't believe sweet Watermelon (mind the pun) has been killed. I have a feeling the murderer is either BHR, Nora the Singer, or Violet. Just a hunch.
(August 5, 2014 - 12:05 pm)
Nora the Singer isn't playing this game. Do you mean Nina?
(August 5, 2014 - 12:27 pm)
Uh, heh, heh. Yes, I meant Nina. I just get their names mixed up.

" Fortunately the two girls were able to wrest the axe away from the deranged teenage boy before any serious damage occurred (although they did knock over a vase and stabbed Jem Louise Margeret in the process)."
Sorry... Just savoring that sentence. It sounds like Christmas Day at my house:) Carry on...

This morning, Watermelon told me I looked like Severus Snape. I went and washed my hair (and took off my prosthetic hook-nose), then plotted my revenge. Unfortunately, someone got to her first. Or, if it was me (something I'm beginning to suspect...), I didn't have a chance to implement my brilliant plan, possibly because of the shortage of styrofoam peanuts, aluminum foil, and exotically embroidered wall-carpets. Anyways, I was mad at Watermelon then, but now? Well, right now, I'd like to know why in the multiverse I was asking for sci-fi!! And I've never heard of Ender's Game, so there!
Actually, T.O.N.'s account of this morning's happenings sound rather like me, except I don't like aluminum foil that much, so it would have been about something more like custom-made logos or something... *grins* and I'm usually the one who notices when prisoners disappear....
*looks around* Hey! Come back here, FantasyQuill! We could be rich! Zillionares! Inconspicuously famous! Oxymoronically well-meaning! Where's the dictionary?
Later: I'll give you my full extended edition LOTR movie if only you would collaborate! Wait a minute, I didn't say that. No! Anything, anything, but not LOTR! Or any of the books on my bookshelf! *grabs The Phantom Tollbooth and holds it tightly*
By the by, I haven't heard any recent mention of that masked ball... My costume is in the state of almost-decided-but-ready-as-soon-as-I-decide...
(August 5, 2014 - 9:46 pm)
Just got back from Long Beach Island! That place is great :D And the waves were the best. Plus, surprisingly, my eyes don't hurt anymore to see underwater without goggles! And I am currently reading around six books again like I used to! Awesomeness!
(I'll write my POVs tomorrow or as soon as I can. Busy week)

Day 14
What's so great about ghostbusters? I'll never know. Ghosts aren't even real in the first place (no offense to you 'ghosts' out there). Anyways, I still can't believe that Red stole my ice cream! The nerve of that guy! And it was blue moon, my favorite! Hmph. Anyways, I think justice was served when he got put in the jail cell. Yes, he promptly escaped, but public humiliation was served.
Hmm. I just sounded very sassy, and I didn't like it. Well...
(August 5, 2014 - 5:02 pm)
Ghostbusters is a pretty good movie! I mean, the 80s. That's when my parents said the music was great... sigh. I wish I could go there somehow.
I believe in wolpertingers. Hey, you never know. Seriously, nothing is impossible. Just very unlikely.
(August 6, 2014 - 5:24 pm)
Just out of curiosity, what is blue moon ice cream?
(August 7, 2014 - 10:13 am)
*Gasp* You don't know what blue moon ice cream is?!
It looks like this:
Hmm. I read somewhere that you can only find it in Michigan and Wisconsin. Is that true? I don't know, because I live there. Anyways, it's my FAVORITE.
