You are reading

You are reading a book (a very good book) when you turn the page and a slip of paper falls out. You quickly finish your chapter, put the book down, and look at the paper.
It reads:
Dear CBer,
You are invited to spend two weeks at a Dragon Park! All Expenses paid! We will have dragonriding classes and races, socializing with baby dragons, and much more! Included in the park is an amusement park where you can spend your free time. Please bring all of your Æs and CAPTCHA. The more the merrier! We hope you will enjoy your stay. Please fill out the form:
Name:

At the bottom it says in fine print:
Please note we are not responsible for burns, bruises, broken bones, and other injuries (or deaths.)
<><><><><><><><><>
This is my first Ski Lodge so the writing might not be great. I am going to set the limit to 30 people. Spots close on the 25th unless we have less than 20 people. If we have less than 20 people on the 26th than spots stay open until there are 20.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
You can guess me at any time! I hope you will enjoy this!

Btw, I count Æs and CAPTCHAs as "people" so when I say we can have 20 people I count them too. :-) 6 spots left!

You can guess me at any time.

Oh cool!!

Name: A Curious Dragon, call me Curio

Appearance: Frizzy red hair kept marginally sane by a bandana, pale freckly skin, blue-gray eyes, very short for a teenager. Fanny pack, geeky T-shirt, wireless headphones.

Personality: Introverted but not unfriendly, I get distracted easily and tend to think everything is hilarious (especially when overtired, which is a lot). Socially awkward; not the biggest talker under ordinary circumstances, but when I get excited, I get chatty. Smart but lacking in common sense. A complete and utter nerd, prone to word-puking on nerdy subjects (i.e. video games, Star Wars).

What you're bringing: Laptop and charger. Fireproof gloves. A couple antimagic grenades (not an actual explosion, just negate magic within "blast radius" for a couple seconds). Clarinet. Fruit snacks (some types of baby dragons like them, for some reason). As You Like It by William Shakespeare. Tarkin by James Luceno. Collapsible hang glider. Dragon rider's kit. Healing potion. First-aid stuff. Clothes and toiletries. EpiPen. Mechanical pencil. Cell phone and charger. Chocolate.

Other: Be prepared for rampant world-building. Also there's Di-

Hiiiieeeeeeee!!!

Holy flying water sausages, Di. I'm sorry, she's not usually this lo-

Of course I'm usually this loud, do you even have ears?! Get outta here, Curio, this is my show now!

Name: Disreputable Dragon, call me Di

Appearance: Large purple dragon with bright green eyes and a pompom on the end of my tail instead of an arrowhead. Do not ask about the pompom if you value your life.

Personality: I'm kinda like Curio, I guess, except a little bit crazier. 

Excuse me. A "little bit"?!

Okay, fine, a lot. I interrupt more than you too. More assertive. Y'know, not a social klutz.

I dunno about that one. Do you even have friends, Di?

SHUT UP CURIO NO ONE ASKED YOU

What I'm bringing: Curio's saddle. (No one else besides her is allowed to ride me, EVER.) A few dance spell scrolls. Lots and lots of chocolate. Burn cream, 'cause Curio forgot it. My racing dossier- specs, previous race results, all that stuff the managers need to know so they can place me correctly. Curio forgot hers, so I'm bringing hers too. That's about it.

Other: Curio is my one and only AE!

No, Di, I think you are my AE. That's how it works.

No it's not.

Is too.

Is not!

Is- oh, never mind, why am I arguing with you over something so stupid?! We're both each other's AEs. Fine. Good. Shut your snout now, please.

*Ebuc?!?!?!*

Oh! Kriff! We almost forgot about Koda! This is Koda, she's my - our - captcha. Apparently we put her in her carrier and then nearly forgot to bring her along! Sorry, li'l girl...

As you can see, she's a small four-letter animal, quite fuzzy and generally well-behaved, unless she gets too preoccupied with daydreaming or singing random letters and forgets to relieve herself until it's too late and she goes all over the-

Enough, Di. I don't think anyone needed to know that. I personally walked her half an hour ago, so she should be fine for the journey.

Great, then! Let's get this show on the road!!!

We don't have as many as I hoped, but since no one else has joined, I'm starting!

Day One

At exactly 2:00 in the afternoon, eight CBers, plus five Æs and two CAPTCHAs, arrived at the gates of a magnificent castle that seemed to stretch to the top of the sky. For a few moments they conversed among themselves.

Two stone dragon heads stared down at them from the top of the arch, like guardians of the castle. Then, with a creaking noise, one of them turned to look at the CBers. Annabella screamed, and everyone else jumped away.

"The Dragon Keeper is on the way." It said, then went back to being a statue.

Everyone looked around, suddenly worried. What other secrets did this place hide? A CAPTCHA muttered, "scry". Their CBer nodded.

It seemed like a full day be for they saw a gleaming blue dragon come soaring over the castle to land next to them. When it landed, a person stepped off the dragon. "Hello," they said,"I am the Dragon Keeper. Right this way." The Dragon Keeper walked through the entryway.

Some of the CBers were nervous going inside, but all thought it better than being watched by the dragon head guardians.

The entryway opened up into a gigantic room. The Dragon Keeper pointed to a stairway off to the left, and said, "Up that stair are three rooms, blue, red, and yellow themed. You may chose which one you like. Dragon riding lessons will begin tomorrow morning." Everyone went up the staircase to choose there rooms, all deciding which room they want.

Except one, who was thinking about something else entirely...

No, I am not.

Hint: I do like dragons, but not in a very obvious way (at least on the CB!)

Di - Di, NO - DI! GET BACK HERE!!

*barrels into yellow room* Sayonara, Curio!!! Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn my stupid AE ye-

That's quite enough of THAT. *sigh* Guess we're staying in yellow. If I know Di, we couldn't get her to budge once she's made up her mind if we blew up half the building. Koda?

*Iypc?*

C'mon. In here. Good girl.

Blue, of course!

Di, are you sure that's a spell? It's not a very good one, isn't it? I've only tried a few simple spells and they've all worked for me.  For example, *points wand at the door Di basically broke* Occulus Reparo.

Admins, the name box has spell check but the actual post doesn't?

 

I don't know that any of Chatterbox has spellcheck.
