Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
You walk home from school one bright, clear, October afternoon, still angry at your parents for grounding you for something you hadn’t done. The neighbors’ dog did not end up on your garage roof because of you, that was for certain. They were depriving you of the CB, your phone, and going out to play with your friends, for 2 weeks. Two whole, miserable,desolate weeks! Fourteen whole, miserable, desolate days! 20, 160 whole, miserable, desolate minutes without the CB or your friends. You trudge the rest of the way home, then drop your heavy backpack and rush upstairs to try to check the Chatterbox one more time. You put the familiar Internet address into your computer, then sigh in despair as the same message that you saw last night, and this morning, pop up.
Sorry about taking away your favorite website, but in this house, when you’re grounded, you’re really grounded. Love, Dad
But then, the screen flickers, and a new message pops up. One that you had not seen before…
Dear CBer,
You are one of the lucky few who have been chosen for a very special opportunity. A 3-week stay at my steampunk castle! There are luxury bedrooms, banquets every day, and many, many fun things to do in the forests, fields, and lakes that surround the castle. All expenses are paid*, so you can just go up on your garage roof- the same one that Barky got stuck on, and wait for the dragon, which may be real or mechanical, your choice. As many AEs and CAPTCHAs as you want are allowed. Please get the list in by Friday, the 24th, so that we may start as soon as possible. As a last note, The Castle Manager is not responsible for any injuries, deaths, missing limbs, etc.Thank you!
Sincerely(or not),
The Castle Manager.
*Popcorn is not already paid for.
Well, that was weird. How did she know all that stuff, like the neighbors’ dog’s name. But the sound of all that fun stuff intrigued you, so you packed a small bag, grabbed your AEs and CAPTCHA, and climbed out your window onto the garage roof to wait for the dragon.
~~
Hello, CBers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs! As you saw in the letter above, you are “the chosen ones”. Please get a packing list for you and each of your AEs, and fill out this sheet:

We will start this Ski Lodge(my first one!) on the 25th. So, get to your packing!

Oh! I'd like to add to Brian's personality on the sheet: he loves making really corny puns, and sometimes he's moody. I also want to request to be one of the people trying to solve the mystery of you're planning on incorporating that into the story. May I team up with you, Icy? My dogs can help sniff out clues!

You've kept me from the room where it happens! For the last tiiiiiiime!
(March 24, 2017 - 7:29 pm)
So, do you like it so far?
(March 24, 2017 - 8:15 pm)
It's awesome! I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Thanks so much!
P.S: I almost typed my real CB name in the name box. XD

Poor Anabella! She would have adored the princess room! I'm curious as to how a butterfly dies by falling 650 feet.
I'm torn between the room where it happens and the junkyard room.
FRED: I'm going with the junkyard room! Sounds delicious!
Robert: Junkyard room, I guess.
I"ll go to the room where it happens!

There was a sort of.... enchantment on those stairs that made her freeze in her human form. I don't know who did it, or how.

By the way, great new part! This is going to be a good classic ski lodge :)
Amaryllis is angry I didn't ask her what room she wants to be in. She says: "tuna". You want the tuna room, Amy? Sorry, you're coming with me.

The Castle Manager, are you Silverwaxwing?
Gigi says idnn. Gigi doesn't know?
(March 25, 2017 - 10:21 am)
My first choice is the room where it happens, and my second choice is the junkyard. Peggy would like to be in the princess room (Willow will be with me).
(March 25, 2017 - 11:42 am)
Top! Topoptop!
(March 25, 2017 - 3:15 pm)
Seriously, are you Silverwaxwing THe Castle Manager?
(March 25, 2017 - 4:42 pm)
The Castle Manager said that she was a she so that narrows it down to about 51/100 of the CBer. I'm fairly sure Silverwaxwing is a she.
(March 25, 2017 - 4:43 pm)
Wow.....
Room 1 or Room 4, please.
(March 25, 2017 - 5:31 pm)
No, I meant Annabella when I said 'she'. I am working on Day 2, everyone! It should be done by Monday.
