Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
The colour in
The colour in the room your are standing in drains. Shadows dance arlund the walls.
You gasp. Suddenly, a black suited man rushes in, and pushes a letter into your hand. You gasp again.
The letter reads: "Dear character or plot device, please come to the creepy black and white hotel in 1950's San Francisco. We are waiting for you.* Signed, Alfred."
You had never heard of Film Noir, or Alfred Hitchcock, so you said yes. Nothing could go wrong...
I will accept Æs and Captchas, but only humans. No dragons or gosties or *gasp* BIRDS!
You can bring nothing, exept clothes and necessaties. And the people who count things that do not matter as necessaties will be BE FED TO THE BIR... I ment: Have to feed my pets.
The first one to get correctly guess me gets A BIRD!

You guessed it, Kate The Great! Were you expecting me? Hehehehe. I will start when I am sure everyone has come. And a reminder: I will accept non-human Æs, because I let an elf in, and I want to be fair to everyone.
(December 2, 2016 - 11:24 pm)
Has everyone joined who wants to join?
Has everyone ready my notice about Æs?
I will start today.

In about an hour, I will post the first segment, unless someone else joins.

Day One
Seven limousines pulled up alongside the Hollywood Castle hotel. AEs and Cbers walked out. Inside the hotel there was a large lobby. And inside the lobby was: ALFRED HITCHCOCK! He was standing on a pedestal, with his shadow being reflected across the room.
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. For tonight's play, we have something a little bit different. For your entertainment, CBers and AEs, we will slowly test you will to live. One person here has decided to vent his or her fury by making sure none of you can vent yours. That is right. For tonight, or the next few days, you will slowly be killed by a murderer until you find the murderer. And I have cut the wires to all of the phones. No calling the police. That’s cheating,” Alfred Hitchcock said, still atop the pedestal.

“Oooh!” Pepper Star said. “Look, Secret, there is even a movie theatre here. I bet it plays really old movies.”
An hour and a half later, Pepper Star and Secret walked out of Vertigo, feeling a little bit jumpy.
“I had no idea old movies were so scary," Pepper Star said.
They were standing out of the theatre, and it took both of them a minute to adjust to the bright light, but when they did, they saw the dead body of Brian, Kate-The-Great’s AE.
________________________
“Kate,” Pepper Star said, walking up to Kate-The-Great. Nobody had gotten their rooms yet. “I have something to tell you. Brian is… DEAD!”
They both ran outside.
“He appears to have been killed by logic. THat is very lethal to an AE, you know,” Secret said when Kate and Pepper got there.
“My poor AE!” Kate-The-Great sobbed.
“You couldn’t have been a better AE owner,” Pepper Star said reassuringly.
“But- but there was this one time he wanted dark chocolate cake before bed and I said no. I will never forgive myself.” Kate-The-Great sobbed more.

Later, everyone got their rooms. They were each the same. A large window, a cabinet, and a bed. There was also an oddly shaped cabinet, but nobody could open it, so it just kinda got… you know, IGNORED. (Which was probably a bad idea, but just remember that there is an oddly shaped cabinet in everyone’s room.)
When Zekrar had settled into his room, somebody knocked. He saw they had a weapon, so he opened the door. Then, he put his hands up.
“What’s wrong Zekrar? Have you figured out I am Gared yet? I would never hurt you. I just brought you your stone swords,” Gared said, offering Zekrar his weapon.
Just then, there was a piercing shriek.
GAred and Zekrar ran down a flight of stairs. And they were surrounded by a flock of Birds. (Evil Birds) Luckily, Gared and Zekrar could both fight off the birds with the swords I had just given them. (Yes, I just broke the Third Barrier.)
“I am glad Deus Ex Machina just popped into the hotel to give us these swords.” Gared yelled at Zekrar, competing with the cawing of the birds.
“But who would set a trap for us?” Zekrar asked.

That was pretty funny.
(December 3, 2016 - 5:31 pm)
Which part? I tried severel different kinds of humor.

Top. Who will die next?
(December 3, 2016 - 11:11 pm)
nice job Gared! When is lart two coming out?
(December 4, 2016 - 6:07 am)
Now.

Day Two
Just like a normal day, everyone woke up and got dressed. Gared spent exactly 1.274 hours knotting his tie, while Pepper Star tried to figure things out. But who got a better use of their 1.274 hours? GARED! How hard is it to train you?
They both walked downstairs, their AEs following them. They passed window. Through the piece of glass bother CBers and the AEs could see a pool, and then one of those showers you were always supposed to go in. Deus Ex MAchina was already picking the weapon she would give to the murderer.
Because breakfast was a buffet, I know we need to find a better way of handing out small pastries, everyone had stuffed themselves full of small pastries and hot chocolate. Suddenly, the front door flew open. A man was standing in a trench coat, and pointing a gun at Grey.
Grey pointed the sword Deus EX had just given him.
They both stared at one another.
“Look, actors these days: I have decided to replace them with something more lifelike: cardboard stands.” Alfred said from behind action-hero-with-gun-and-trench coat. He gave a light push, and the most immediate threat to Grey’s life slid across the floor.
___________________________________
Everyone walked out to the pool, dressed in swimsuits. But, sadly, Mirax’s AE Ruby felt it was necessary to take a shower before swimming. (WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE BEING STUPID RUBY!!!!!!!!!!) The killer slipped on an invisibility cloak, and ran over to the shower. The killer drew a dagger (Compliments of Ex Machina Co.)and stabbed Ruby. Of course nobody saw the killer, but they did see Ruby fall down, dead. Mirax T. ran over, sobbing. KAte-THe-Great ran over to comfort her.
Somebody was the only one still in the pool. That made the murderer angry, because she wanted everyone to enjoy the murder scene. The invisibility cloak went on, but Deus Ex Machina suddenly gave Somebody the one weapon better than a knife: a force field. THe killer was shot back to where the killer had been standing, and Somebody was still alive to set up funny scenes like this. Hey, why don’t we say a big thanks for SOmebody. This brave CBErs but herself in danger, all to set a kind-of funny moment.
___________________________________
KAte and Mirax both stood across from each other at a table, talking. They were both sad. (Yes! I have identified human emotion correctly! Maybe, by the end of the story, you CBrs won’t have to rely on Ex MAchina to think ahead for you! MAybe there will even be dialogue to build characters, not advance the plot, or just for humour!)
“Maybe, we should try to adopt a new AE?” KAte said.
“Naaaaaaa” Mirax and Mrs. Elton said.
“Annnnd, you should try this pie!” The Darth VAder person with silly hair from the new movie (Kylo Wren, I think) said as he threw a pie at KAte. (Aren't I funny? I am making fun of Star Wars now!)
Alfred stepped in front of our favorite little bird. (Wren? Get it?) He then promptly pushed the emo pie throwing bird out the Deus Ex Machina window.
Death Toll: Two (If you count Kylo Wren) Okay, One

Extra PArt for today:
Day Two Part Two
“Ah. Welcome back. We seemed to have a technical problem after a alien from outer space, which was a Wren, crashed into our lights. Let's now return to our scheduled program.” ALfred said.
Pepper Star was listening to Hamilton. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I know. Everyone is in the past. There is a mad person in their hotel. Two AEs have been killed. ANd Pepper is listening to HAMILTON! It's the end. She has destroyed reality. Everyone, go insane.
Ok, let's move to something MORE IMPORTANT! I am attempting to make some characters have a meaningless conversation:
“The weather still exists.” Somebody (The CBer) said.
“I am vaguely zealous.” Novelist said, in her cameo role in this part of Day Two.
“I am interested, but not very, in how Deus Ex Machina helps us.” I said, feeling kind of tired.

Day Two, Part Three
Jack walked outside. Then, suddenly, the murderer dropped a 1000000 ton weight on him. It crushed him instantly. But, luckily, Deus Ex Machina brought Jack back to life with a potion.
_______________
Jack walked to the top of the tallest tower in the hotel. He looked out. Then, he jumped down into the swimming pool. Weeee! (In real life, this is a bad idea)
But the murderer would not be fooled by Ex Machina again. The unspecified murderer found her, and put her in a bottle. Then, the murderer dropped the bottle into the oddly shaped cabinet, which nobody but the murderer could open. The murderer grabbed two swords. She would get rid of Jack…
“STOP!” Zekrar yelled. He pointed a sword.
“Nev-a (It means never in bad-guy speech)” The murderer yelled.
The two advanced. Then, with a slash, the murderer cut Zekrar's shirt. Red liquid rushed out.
“Sorry. You only cut my armour of ketchup packets.” Zekrar replied.
_______________________
Gared ran into his room. He noticed his oddly shaped cabinet was open a crack. He opened it more. The body of Zekrar was inside.
