Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
A message to all:
(if you just want a ski lodge/brilliant entertainment/a puzzle, skip down to the next section)
My deepest apologies. I posted this a month ago, and not being incredibly active on this corner of the Chatterbox fine forgot as it sank to the back pages... then recently it has come to my attention that I never began the great adventure I had (albeit roughly) planned! Oops.
Anyway, we're still on! If you signed up before, you may join this adventure again, and simply request to use the sheet you filled out earlier, or fill out a new one. Also, please take as much licorice as you want as a token of my apologies.
If you didn't sign up before, please do! I'd like at least twenty people, so bring your entourage!!
Without further ado, this is what I posted before.

You are staring into space at the local shoelace store, wondering what your purpose in life is and what you are doing at a shoelace store of all places. You happen to glance up at a bulliten board. Most of the notices on it are large and brightly colored (and fluffy, for some reason), but one stands out to you by dint of of its simplicity:
Dear Everyone,
This is a Warning. The Drainaps are Attacking, the Sky is Purple, and there is Nothing you can Do!!!
Love,
X
As you are very smart indeed you immediately realize that one of the statements in the notice is a lie. But which one?

You have probably noticed by now that this is a Ski Lodge. But it is not an ordinary kind of ski lodge. Everyone who joins makes mischief of some sort, whether it be that they steal things, constantly sets up pranks, spy on people, or are merely a murderer. By process of elimination you must figure out who the murderer/s is/are (the number of people who commit each sort of crime will depend on who joins). Meanwhile, very strange things are going on... more details will be given when spots are full.
____
To join, please fill out this form. You may bring AEs and CAPTCHAs also, but only those who have the form filled out may come! (if you read nothing else, please read that...)

I pick Explosions!
(March 15, 2017 - 7:40 pm)
Irises. Anna?
What?
What room would you like to be in?
*quickly scans list* Um, explosions!
(March 16, 2017 - 6:39 am)
I am changing mine! I pick Irises because I don't like the color pink.
(March 16, 2017 - 2:34 pm)
Anne Peggy, what about you?
How about... Irises?
Okay, makes sense.
(March 16, 2017 - 8:11 pm)
Irises. Snicker needs a peaceful place to calm down.
Do NOT! I demand the Explosive room!
Too bad Snicker!

Choosing Irises!! I don't think I could stand so much pink in the roses...
And X only posts on Tuesdays, so it should show up soon.
(March 21, 2017 - 3:45 pm)
Okay, Thanks!
(March 22, 2017 - 9:37 am)
I think I want irises. I don't like sewing though, so I will sit in the corner and read and mourn for Ember and draw.

@ Elementgirl, I actually don't have a sheet for Sequoia on the old one, so if you filled one out that would be great!
@Leeli, I don't know if you're following this thread anymore or not, but I still need sheets for Alfred, Evil Devin, and Nugget!

Day 3
When Mei entered the Rose Room, she was at once shocked by the shrillness of the opera music in the background. Leeli dropped her bags and covered her ears, while Timeless danced to the singing.
Mei was starting to regret her choice.
Things got a little better when they went to the courtyard, which was full of delicate and lovely flowers. Destiny was disappointed at how pristine everything was, but it was good to be outdoors and away from the music. There was weeding to be done, and Mei, Leeli and Alfred started on it, though Mei found her trowel and gloves kept disappearing.
"We must have a kleptomaniac here," Mei said, surveying her companions.

In the explosions room, some of the CBers hid their heads under the giant pillows on the beds-- the heavy metal music was overwhelming. Dain and Wordsy, however, immediately started up a pacman competitions on an ancient arcade machine.
"Ha!" Wordsy luckily snagged a bonus fruit, and was now many points ahead of Dain.
"Well, you went first," Dain said, pressing the start button to take his turn.
Suddenly the screen flashed red.
"You are now entering: Pacman Zombie Appocolypse."
Dain and Wordsy looked at each other, baffled. The screen was now covered with very pixilated green people, and the machine made weird sounds which sounded more like a very pathetic lawnmower than intimidating growls.
Wordsy started laughing nonstop, and Dain joined her, until he realized that Pacman was being completely surrounded by the green things.
"Player One wins the game. Player Two, you are absolutely terrible at this game."
The hacker giggled into her pillow.
~ ~ ~
Meanwhile, elementgirl was bored stiff in the Iris chambers. It was calm, neat, and fairly quiet, but the only things to do were clean the already quite immaculate rooms or sew, neither of which most of the CBers found at all apealing. Elementgirl helped AutumnArtist wrestle her barrels and bundles into a bunkroom, where RP was glaring at Snicker, who hissed menacingly.
"mppk," Gigi said in the sassiest way one can pronounce four uncooperative constanants.
"What's in here?" Dandelion asked, stepping inside, Booksy following and closing the door behind them.
"Just some bunks," AutumnArtist said. She heaved her barrel of everlasting food into the closet.
All of a sudden the room was full of pitch black smoke, and the sounds of violent coughing.
Except one CBer no longer made any noise at all...
~ ~ ~
Crimes today:
- Gardening supplies "borrowed"
- Prank with black smoke
- Pacman machine hacked
- And perhaps, just perhaps, a murder...
Hint: At least two of these crimes were committed by the same people as before. Feel free to make any wild guesses!

The hacker is in the explosions room, and isn't Wordsy or Dean. That narrows it down to three people.
(March 23, 2017 - 10:59 pm)
And, X said ¨she¨. That narrows it down to 2 people. I am, like, 80% sure that it is Anna.
Did I die?
(March 24, 2017 - 6:14 am)
Dain, not Dean, sorry.
(March 23, 2017 - 11:00 pm)
20 % sure me or one of my AEs or CAPTCHAs is th murderer.
