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...)

Physical characteristics:

Wait, am I the one that died from the irises?? Or maybe I did the prank...
I just hope I haven't died. Noooooo...

Day Four
“Anna…” Dain narrowed his eyes at elementgirl’s AE. “Was that you?”
Anna giggled again. “Maybe…”
Wordsy laughed. “No, of course not. It was the Rain-apps or whatever!”
“No doubt. Hey, bet I can beat you to the dynamite room!” Dain grinned and started running before Wordsy had a chance to think.
“Come back!” Wordsy ran after Dain towards the racket Evil Devin was making with small sticks of dynamite.
Anna rolled her eyes.

In the Rose Room, Leeli was missing her sketchbook.
“May I help you?” offered Alfred, emerging from his bedroom where he had been straightening his suit for the past ten minutes.
“Um, have you seen my sketchbook anywhere?”
“My apologies, I shall help you in your search.”
“Thanks.”
“Rrff!” barked Nugget. He picked up a broken trowel handle with his teeth and looked at Leeli mournfully, obviously wanting to play.
Leeli looked at him blankly, then turned to continue looking for her sketchbook.
“He’s so adorable,” Sequoia said softly from the doorway.
“Yep.” Leeli forced a smile.
“Are you okay?” asked Sequoia. Alfred looked concerned, and privately wondered if a chocolate souffle would cheer her up.
“It’s Ember’s death,” Leeli said hurriedly. “It’s just… well… where’s my sketchbook?”
“Miss Leeli, I believe I found what you were looking for,” called Alfred fifteen minutes later. He had opened up a small panel in the wall that the others had completely overlooked.
“Thank you!” Leeli ran over to the compartment, and pulled out not only the sketchbook but Autumn’s bow!
“I wonder who stole those?” asked Sequoia.
“How’d you find them?” Leeli asked.
“I am glad I could be of service.” Alfred bowed slightly, and turned to leave the room. “A butler always knows where to look.”

But back in the Iris room, things were not going so well.
“Booksy!” Dandelion cried, feeling the body slump against her.
“What happened?” RP shouted. The room was still dark from the smoke.
“Is something wrong? What’s going on?” Anne Peggy opened the door, but only saw pitch blackness. With great presence of mind she grabbed one of the myriad vacuum cleaners, and somehow sucked up all of the smoke.
The company gasped, cried, and looked for suspicious faces respectively.
“Is she dead?” asked elementgirl.
Dandelion proved she was.
“It looks like she was hit over the head.”
“What did it? Who did it?” RP said, glancing at Snicker.
They soon agreed that the cause of death had been an umbrella, which now lay unpretensiously on the floor.
“That’s Autumn’s umbrella,” elementgirl said. All eyes turned to AutumnArtist.
“It wasn’t me!” AutumnArtist said. “I know what it looks like, but--”
She was interrupted by a message through some sort of invisible speaker, in the voice of the dinosaur Katie from earlier. “Attention all: Report to da main room at once! Dis is URGENT!!!”
The CBers looked at each other, and shrugged.
“At least we should tell the others what happened,” RP said.
Dandelion and AutumnArtist gently lifted Booksy onto one of the bunks. Then they left the room.
“Nobody thanks me for my trouble,” Anne Peggy muttered as they headed down the hallway.
That smoke bomb was a really bad idea, the prankster thought.
After someone dies, I will tell you what type of criminal they were.
Ember was a petty thief
Booksy was innocent

Wow... Poor Booksy! And Ember!

Sorry my new part seems to have lost all bold/italics! Also, none of those guesses are correct...
(March 28, 2017 - 8:21 pm)
Agh! Hmm.....was it moi?
*how absurd!*
Sorry, I think I accidentally changed from English, to French, to a British accent. :)
But seriously, was it me?

I was thinking about CAPTCHAS. They basically say every four letter word in the alphabet, right? Well, I was thinking, CAPTCHAs are BOUND to say a SWEAR WORD someday because there are so many that have four letters! What would happen if, it actually DID that one day?
I think there's a built-in directive to avoid certain words.

None of those guesses are correct
(April 2, 2017 - 1:27 pm)
Two questions.
1. When will you reveal what CBer you are?
2. When are you going to post the next part? I'm so excited to see it!
(April 2, 2017 - 2:32 pm)
1. When this is done, if someone guesses me, or if I accidentally type my name into the name box.
2. Sometime in the next few days
