Poison! My goodness. Well, at least we know it isn't iocaine powder, seeing as the Ski Ghost could smell it. 

Also, was the boy who worked at Starbucks's name by any chance Taylor? (Random reference :-) )

AACK! I died by POISON! Well, at least it was exciting. :) @Ski Ghost, even though I'm dead, can I still leave comments on here? Or...do I not have fingers/paws anymore?! (No one tells dead people anything! XD)

Hello fellow ghost! I'm so sorry that you died, but think on the bright side. You get to watch everybody die from a better view! Please continue to post, there's always room for more ghosts! And, just to clarify, are you a boy or a girl?

Day two~ 

A stunned silence accompanies you all the way to the lodge. Nobody can believe that poetic panda is gone. Also even scarier, there is a murderer among you. "Poetic panda said that somebody always dies and these things," Cloudfire whispers to kitty girl. After a long drive, the general mood is lifted a little when you arrive at the lodge. The freshly fallen snow blankets everything and the lodge, a large, wooden, welcoming building, looks warm and cozy. Dead snowboarder leads everybody off the bus. All of the captchas ride on Saphira's back, and all the Cbers are chattering together in clusters. Ski ghost clears his/her throat and says, "Welcome to the ski lodge, everybody. Your room keys will be handed out by dead snowboarder shortly. After you get yourselves situated we will be going on a scenic tour of the ski lodge. I hope that all enjoy your stay."  The rooms turn out to be very nice with big cushy armchairs and roaring fires. Booksy Owl walks into her room and discovers a small bunch of white flowers, which she unsuspectingly puts into her hair. An hour later, everybody heads out to take the scenic tour. You are led to snow-covered hills overlooking a beautiful view. You have been admiring the mountains for a while when you hear a scream. You all rush over as fast as you can. You see a wild yeti standing there roaring at Booksy Owl, who had wandered off. The yeti ignores the rest of you. He roars at Booksy Owl  and she freezes into a block of ice. Then, he runs off. You all stand there, shocked. Then Saphira comes over and breathes fire on the block of ice that is Booksy Owl. She melts, then slumps over on the ground, dead. Yeti's frozen breath is poisonous. Dead snowboarder picks up the white flower that is in her hair. "It's the flower of the dinkleberry bush. Yetis will kill anything that is holding or touching it with their freezing breath. Our murderer has struck again."

@Poetic Panda: Even though you died, you can keep trying to guess who Dead snowboarder and I are , if you want!

Day three~

Everyone is subdued on the way back to the hotel, mourning the death of thier dear friend Booksy Owly. Ski Ghost took pity on the sad CBers.

"How about pancakes for dinner?" (s)he suggested. The AE's and CAPTCHA's immediatley brightened. 

"Yum!" they all said. The Cbers looked a little happier. Within minutes, everyone was seated in the dining hall, a tall stack of pancakes with syrup. Well, all except Kittygirl, who was so paranoid that she brought her own pancakes, and was devouring them. When all the Cbers had eaten their fill, Ski Ghost said,

"Now, if you go straight down that hall, and to the left, then to the right, and then another left again, you will find a list of names. Go see which room you are in, then go to bed!" Everyone hurried off to see who they were going to be roomies with. The list said:

Room 1:

Leafmist
Moonshadow
Balletandbow
Aquina
Kittygirl
Micearenice
Savvy44x
Shooting Star

Room 2:

Sweet Tea
Cloudfire
Bunny Whisperer
Mortif
Poetic Panda
BABTMP
Kitten

Room 3:

Sydney C.
Chip
Oliver
Wingnut
Misty
Biscuit
Saphira
Meox

Poetic Panda's and Booksy Owly's names had been scracted out.  

"Oh no!" Balletandbow sighed. "They put all the AE's together! They'll burn the hotel down!"

"Hm. Well, Cloudfire is in there with them. She's an AE, but is pretty well behaved," Leafmist said. All the AE's, CAPTCHA, and Cbers exchanged goodnights, then went to thier rooms to get ready for bed.

Room 1 was mournful. All the Cbers missed their good friends Booksy Owly and Poetic Panda, but tried to stay busy to keep their minds off it. Aquina and Leafmist sat on thier beds, discussing the latest Artemis Fowl book, while Savvy locked herself in the bathroom to take a shower, and Micearenice, Kittygirl, and Balletandbow all brushed thier teeth, while Moonshadow and Shooting Star played a game of Monopoly together.

Room 2 was a madhouse. All the AE's decided to have a pancake war, against Cloudfire's wishes. Everyone, except Cloud, snuck into the kitchen to snag some pancakes. They started throwing them at each other, completely forgetting about thier friend's deaths. Cloudfire sat on her bed and tried to read, but getting frustrated with all the noise, as well as getting covered in syrup.

Room 3 was already asleep. All the CAPTCHA's had decided to throw in the towel and go to bed. Well, all except Sydney, who stayed up late reading.

The next day, everyone got up bright and early to have a fun day exploring the resort.

"We'll go and rent some skis on Tuesday, I promise!" Ski Ghost had said. So they decided to just walk around today. All the Cber's pulled on their coats and boots as fast as they could, then went outside. The time went by too fast. The AE's had a full blown snowball war, while the CBers made snow angels, and the CAPTCHA's rode the ski lifts up and down. Eventually, it was time for lunch. Everyone came inside to have a lunch of pizza and hot cocoa. All the CBer's ate quickly, so as to get to dessert. Dessert turned out to be brownies. They were devoured in the blink of an eye. Shooting Star went up to get more brownies, when she spotted a giant fluffy zebra stuffed animal over in the corner of the dining hall. Forgetting her brownies, she went to go play with it. But as soon as poor Shooting Star touched it, a strange green gas started pouring out of the zebra. All the CBer's knew what it was right away, and herded all thier AEs and CAPTCHAs out the door. Moonshadow tried to rescue her little sister, but before she could get over to her, Ski Ghost grabbed her arm and pulled her out the door. 

"We can't just leave her in there!" Moon screamed on the way out. Ski Ghost didn't reply, but looked sad. An hour later, when Snowboarder was positive all the gas had cleared out, Moonshadow was first in the room. Shooting Star lay in the corner, dead. Moon ran over to her her and cried. 

"We must find the murderer, before he strikes again." Snowboarder said gravely.

@Ski Ghost, are you Leafmist? Scylla? Elvina? And did you put yourself in the story? Or Dead snowboarder?

@Dead snowboarder, are you Leafmist? Scylla? Elvina? (Yes, I know those are the same people ;) )

Day four~
All the Cbets assemble in room three for a meeting. The mood is tense and nervous. Moonshadow sits in a corner and looks sad. Micearenice plays with Chip, who is attempting to eat a marshmallow out of her hand. Brookiaria and Balletbow sit chatting in a corner. Leafmist suddenly stands up and addresses everyone in a loud voice. The AEs instantly stop trying to roast marshmallows using Saphira as an oven and listen to her. "Everybody, things here are getting kinda bad. We've lost friends and," she gestures to Moonshadow, "even family. But don't worry. These things always happen. I'm pretty sure that we all knew that there might be danger involved. So I say we should take heart. And, whoever the murderer is, you will be found. Now, on a different note, who wants ice cream? Misty and Oliver, I even got you carrot flavor!" Misty seems to love ice cream flavored like vegetables, and she eats it all. In fact, she eats so much that late in the night she wakes up with a stomac ache. She hops over to the room where Leafmist is staying and nudges her. In bunny speak that only Leafmist can understand she says her stomach hurts. Leafmist goes to the nurse's office. "Excuse me, but do you any indigestion pills?" Dead snowboarder, who is taking a shift at the nurse station shakes his/her head. "I'm sorry, but somebody stole all of it." Leafmist walks back, but by the time she gets there, Misty's dead.

Sorry that that was rather boring. I couldn't bear giving a bunny a painful death.

Okay, let me just say that I'm really sorry for all the typos and messups in that post. I forgot that Brookiria wasn't in this. Also, it was late and I was tired. Also, I'm not Leafmist, Elvina, or Cho.

@Poetic Panda: Yes! I am Leafmist! And I did put myself in the story! :P

Day 5~

Ski Ghost took the CBers, AE's, and CAPTCHAs to rent skis. They were so excited! Maybe after they got skis, they could ACTUALLY go skiing! The ski shop was a couple of miles away, so Ski Ghost and Snowboarder took them in the bus. When they reached the ski shop, the Cbers were impressed. The shop was a huge brick building, with automatic sliding doors and mountain scene pictures on the window. As they went inside, they were all FURTHER impressed by the sheer number of skis and snowboards inside the building. There were numerous racks that all looked like they could tip over at any moment. The moment they entered the room, they were greeted by a cheeful salesperson.

"Hello Cbers! I've been expecting you! What can I do for you today?" All the CBers went one by one, trying on skis and boots and renting the ones that fit. The last person to go was Mortif, who was very agitated that (s)he was the last one. Finally, they all found the right skis and went to pay. As they were walking up to the counter, Micearenice saw Mortif walking around, but thought nothing of it. Leafmist was standing at the back of teh line, patiently waiting for her turn to pay. Leaf heard a noise behind her, and turned around to see a rack of skis fall on top of her! Before she even had time to scream, Leaf was buried in a heap of skis that had fallen off the rack. Cloudfire realized what was happening, and ran over to help, but it was too late. Cloud desperately tried to uncover Leaf. When she finally did, Leafmist was dead, her face covered in bruises and cuts. 

"Tea! Misty! Biscuit!" Cloud called. "Get over here!" Sweet Tea and her CAPTCHAs ran over to help Cloud move Leaf's body. Dead Snowboarder tried to help cheer them up by saying, 

"Why don't you guys go and ski the slopes? Ski and I can take Leaf's body back to the resort," Cloud turned to them, scowling.

"No. I will do it. Tea, come help me." Together, Tea and Cloud managed to move Leaf back to the resort.

R.I.P. Leafmist. I can't believe I just killed myself.

Leafmist! Booksy! Shooting Star! Panda! All my friends are dying! Mortif is a girl. (It's a weird name for her, but it's Latin, and she's obsessed with Latin stuff.)
