Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
Endless Spring
Endless Spring
It's a clear, crisp December afternoon as you are walking home from school. The first flakes of winter are falling, and you stop to catch a few on your tongue. Most of the trees are bare of leaves, but one is covered in its full green foliage. You stop and peer up at the tree, the one that looks so unusual this time of year. And before you know what you're doing, you are sitting on a branch next to a bemused but unafraid crow, swinging your legs over the side of the branch. You notice something in the branches above you. A letter- with your name on it. You pluck it from the branch, and stop to marvel at the quality of the wax seal on it- green, with a leaf imprinted on it- that you barely notice the leaves on the tree slowly- but in perspective rapidly- changing first to yellow, then orange, red, and even a bit of purple and brown. They have started falling from the tree, but you are too immersed in your letter even to notice.
Dearest CBer,
You are invited to a free of charge* 3-Week stay at Endless Spring Castle and Resort! You and only 21 of your fellow letter-holders** are invited- you'll have the whole place to yourselves, and be home before Christmas***! All homework is waived- just go to the front of your house at promptly 5 pm, CST, with your AEs, CAPTCHAs, and whatever you are bringing to the resort. The taxi will handle you from there. This trip includes a reenactment of Hamilton, a magical garden flower maze, and castle scavenger hunts. Best of luck, and enjoy your stay!
Your friend,
The Spring Queen (Please, call me Rose)
P.S: Once you have entered the hotel, you may not leave until the 21-day duration is up.
P.P.S: The spring queen is not responsible for injury, severe wounds, burns, deaths, poisonings, murders, or anything along those lines.
*The popcorn is not free. (Of course)
**This INCLUDES AEs and CAPTCHAs
***With luck

You rush home to start preparing.

Are there any spots left? If so:
Name: Viola? (No nicknames)
Age: Secret, but in the teens
Gender: Female
Looks/Appearance: Tall, slim, with long hair, limbs, fingers, and nails. Usually wears T-shirts either in solid, muted colors or with slightly creepy but lovely designs, wool hiking socks, sneakers and jeans. Fancy dresses for fancy occasions can be nice.
Strengths: Art! Art, miscellaneous knowledge, the basics of most sciences, flexibility, some knowledge of tropes and Greek mythology, a bit of plant and animal identification (though far more than what is probably normal), more survival skills than most. Critical thinking? Perspective-hopping. Drawing. Crafts. Doing really delicate things, like getting all the seeds out of a pomegranate without puncturing any or leaving any white stuff on them. Patience? Possible leadership potential. Stealth, usually.
Weaknesses: Speaking loudly, speaking to large groups or anyone I don't know, not coming off as creepy and/or weird, anything awkward ever, too much structure, too much choice, procrastination, physical strength, physical endurance (except in holding most easier yoga poses), tuning out too much sometimes, aggressive dogs, social interaction, existing in public, being unprepared around anyone, a lack of common knowledge, gross stuff (besides gore, and lungs are actually pretty and so are hearts and beavers have four lungs), romance (interpret that as you will), stating the obvious, missing the obvious, waiting with nothing to do, close-range combat...
What are you bringing: Way too much stuff, packed in one large duffel bag and one small leather satchel-ish thing. About ten full changes of clothes with extra shirts and socks, a full bag of toiletries, a change or two of pajamas (including little white socks), a dog plushie I've had for ages, at least two sketchbooks (one finished, one not), various pens and pencils for drawing, my box of 50 colored pencils, a pencil sharpener, materials for dreamcatchers, my diary, popcorn money, a few novels, a book on grimoires, a history book, a pad of Post-its, and basic medical supplies. A long, green, hooded down coat and a leapord-pattern hooded jacket.
Favorite Season: I love and respect all seasons in nearly equal measure, but I can't say I wholeheartedly adore summer. Maybe spring or fall.
Preferred character to play in Hamilton: Aaron Burr! Is he taken? *checks* He isn't! Yay! (barring that, I might take... idk, Washington, King George, anyone with easy lines)
Other: I am an avid fangirl of various webcomics, and have an interest in natural history and its relationship to art, music/rhythm, and the Goth and steampunk subcultures. I support LGBTQ+ and firmly maintain that cats are better than dogs. I also like talking fancy, dragons and explaining unknowns with the fantastical. If I were to murder someone, I would plan everything out very carefully. I don't expect to be the murderer, though. Dying will probably be annoying, terrifying, and worse than a deep splinter.
Password: Blossom
Name: Nymph
Age: Unknown
Gender: Technically gender-fluid (shapeshifter), but uses female pronouns
Looks/Appearance: Shapeshifter (unlimited as far as I know, often prefers draconic or humanoid forms)
Strengths: Shapeshifting and all the abilities that are granted by it, so literally everything phyisical. Unfazed by most horror, can take anything seriously, confident, sassy... Good limb-eye coordination, an understanding of Viola? (me), will sometimes sit in a corner with someone having a rough time. Never simply awful, will take charge (and likely be effective) if everything is falling apart and she has sufficient motivation. Can take a hit and stick it out. Surprisingly smart.
Weaknesses: Literally anything involving talking to other beings. Often rude, arrogant and uncooperative. Loves sneak attacks and will generally interact by acting up and being annoying. Can be bossy, a perfectionist, a sore loser, and bad at taking care of herself. Won't ask for help in a tough situation, won't do anything she doesn't have to when all is well. Romance. Being under siege. Long-range combat. People who won't be bothered. Fancy/formal anything. Authority. Evil Devin.
Hey! I don't have that weakness!
Which one?
The last one!
Maybe not, but I still ship you.
What are you bringing: A jacket, a few toiletries, maybe shoes. Perhaps a small melon.
Favorite season: Winter's pretty nice. Spring and summer are okay.
Preferred character to play in Hamilton: Regards them all with a mild disdain, but will play any minor or background role(s).
Other: Shapeshifter, from a forested region, speaks in bold italics. Not extremely developed. Possibly minimalist. Might not actually like music. Thinks I'm weird, but tolerates me very well.
