Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

One day you're lounging in your room, sprawled across your bed, reading a book. It's getting hot in the room, but you barely notice, so engaged are you in your novel. You’re just at the part where the hero is emerging from the vast wasteland into a luscious city of overgrowth and magnificent chalky pillars. You sigh, immersed in the exquisite descriptions of the author. If only it were like that here… All of a sudden the heat seems unbearable, and you slide off the bed, tossing the book down on your sheets. Walking over to your window, you unlatch it and heave up the pane, letting the cool air rush in. You sigh blissfully, relieved of the stuffy summer heat. From downstairs, you hear your mother call you. Reluctant to leave, you slide your window shut and go to her. She’s at the table, sorting through a pile of letters. Without glancing up, she hands you one. You take it hesitantly, unsure of what to think of it.

The letter’s envelope is cool and heavy, made of a silky parchment. It's addressed to you, but you don't remember sending any letters recently. Upon opening it, you find that the letter inside of made of the same paper. Inscribed on it, written in glittering silver ink, are the words:

Hello, my dearest Chatterboxer!

I have written to you to invite upon a most grandiose adventure! I have recently acquired goggles (perhaps you’ve heard of the kind-- the Oculus Rift is one brand?) that will allow you to see the world though new eyes! To let you gaze upon lands far away! But on this undertaking, I do believe you’ll be doing much more than just seeing this places…

Pack your bags and prepare yourself to begin the adventure! Eleven lucky CBers will be allowed to participate in this wondrous adventure! And don’t hold a worry in mind, of course you may take a companion. No more than two, I ask of you, though, for we do have rather small quarters.

Mysteriously yours,

Inscrutibilius

P.S. This journey will be tragedy-free. Although, if any injuries occur (nothing more, I do hope), I’m afraid I won’t be taking responsibility. Once again, though, harbor no worry, for we do have a reliable source at a base who will be able to send help and resources.

P.P.S. Please do forgive my verbosity. I rather enjoy using large words.

You may begin to guess me as soon as you join! Have fun!
