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...)

Name:

Physical characteristics: 

Interests: 

Personality:

Okay, we're still doing this!! And I was listening to Hamilton while I wrote this so it might be a little choppy.

The meeting room turned out to be where they had first come up the chandelier, though it was now much bigger for some reason.
"Guys, I have some tough news," Dandelion said, gulping, after all the CBers had entered.
"Did someone else die?!" cried Leeli.
"Booksy," elementgirl said softly, putting her arm around Dandelion.
Destiny and Sequoia looked at elementgirl and Dandelion with tears in their eyes. Mei shook her head. 
"Really?" Wordsy said, open mouthed. She blinked rapidly.  
The murderer who had killed Booksy hid a smile. The other murderer glanced around, suspicious.
Whoever killed her narrowed down the possibilities considerably, she thought. They should take a tip from me and strike when everyone else is around. 
"Hi everyone!" Katie danced into the room, wearing a golden cape around her long neck. "Hello, ransom purse sun! Hi mint squirrel! Greetings, slimeless!"
"Random Person, Elementgirl, and Timeless," Anne Peggy said tartly.
"Stan Eggy! Nice to see you," Katie said loftily.
The yellow dinosaur walked to the wall wear the grafiti still read "EMBER". To Destiny that word seemed like a memorial for her poor owl, and she was glad no one had washed it off, or gotten rid of the spray-paint picture in the Rose Room. She wished, not unrealistically, that she could challenge the murderer to a duel. Mei had promised that they would have a funeral in the evening, probably for Booksy as well now.
"Now, we are here to discuss the Drainaps," Katie said finally. "They have already wroght great terribility here with dat dead bird." She paused to wipe away what would have been a tear if there had been one.
"Who exactly are the Drainaps?" asked Anna.
"Da Drainaps lurk in every drain, 'course! They hide in da sinks, and da bathtubs, (but not da toilets, obviously), and come out when you least expect. You can always tell a Drainap by their black curly mustache and dark clothing. If they catch you they will take you to Paradise and never bring you back! But they are allergic to da color yellow, and dat will drive dem far, far 'way."
If they hadn't been so sad from the deaths, the CBers would have been laughing out loud. Dain just shook his head, and glanced at Wordsy, worried.
"To get small 'nough to fit into da drains," Katie continued, "day shrink in da wash. And, most important of all, day--"
BOOM!!!
The CBers screamed, wailed, and fainted. Someone stepped on Quirker's foot, and someone else elbowed her in the ribs.  All was cacophony until the smoke cleared. The first thing Quirker noticed was a giant hole in the middle of the floor, the second thing that, fortunately no one had died. The third thing--
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Yellow lights built into the window frames and ugly floral wallpaper started flashing, and an awful alarm filled the place.
"Da Drainaps," Katie said faintly. "They're here."

Crimes committed:
- More grafiti was done in the Rose Room
- Traitors did some work behind the scenes
- Floor blown up 
Hints:
- The same prankster did the trick with the books in the hallway and the trick with the black smoke, but not with the explosion in the meeting room
- As has already been made clear, one murderer killed Booksy, and the other Ember
- A serious thief and a petty thief have made their mischief so far, and both are in the Rose Room.

Is Snicker one of the murderers? The one who didn't shoot the bow? Or is she a innocent?

I wasn't mentioned in this part of the story :(

RP: You only get one guess, so I'm going to answer your first question. Snicker is not a murderer. 

Autumn: Oops! The next part has a lot to do with you.

Am I or one of my AEs a murderer? Is this question allowed? (If yes, you don't have to specify who it is.)

Please be more specific.
