Endless Spring

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

Well, that was strange! you think, hopping down from the tree. You check your watch. 4:15 PM. 
You rush home to start preparing.

*looks around* How did a swamp get in a maze? This place is weird.

Ah! I'm here! So is Trevor, I think.  Yep, I am. Oh, good. Your tuxedo was so dark I could'nt see you. It's so hard to make things out, I can hardly see my own hand in front of my face! Anybody pack a flashlight? I don't see what good yarn or needles will do to improve our vision with this fog. And now there's a swamp! Hey! *looses balance and accidently steps both feet in* Great. Now I have squashy shoes.

What if we use some of my thicker yarn and tie it to our wrists or something so we won't loose each other again? I think I packed it....*Rumages through bag again*

*calls to Starseeker* They're right here! Come on, I think I see you! *squints* *turns to others*

We're in a swamp? *looks down* Ooh, sphagnum! Oh, water. *snaps fingers* *giant Post-it pad platforms appear* 

Vyolette, wipe your feet before you step on these! And the yarn around the wrists is a good idea, but be sure there's a lot between each person. And don't try to support your weight on it, anyone! It's only a few twisted fibers! 

*sends sticky notes to help yarn process* *recieves end* Okay, what's the order? Assuming we're in single file. I'll be in front. Who wants to come second? Remember, we'll be tied together, so you can't go back on your decision.

*Sighs* Well, this is a Ski Lodge. I'm bound to die at some point, anyways. I'll go behind you.

I'll take second-to-last, and Zoey will be last. Thanks for that. Don't you know the people in last are often the most likely to get picked off? That's why I chose you. You're the most capable of us-- you can fly. You have magic. You have weapons, and you know how to use them. That's... a good point. So, Zoey will be last, and I'll go in front of her.

*Wipes feet* I guess I'll be in front of Starseeker, and Trevor can be in front of me. Then Quill can be in front of Trevor? How long do we need the yarn? Maybe, oh, say 7 feet? Here, I have my scissors we can cut it with. *Pulls out scissors*

Sounds good. That just leaves Kyoto, and Epic Fangirl if she's still here. Is she? I haven't seen her since we entered the maze. *turns to Kyoto* In any case, I'll take you up on that offer. What do you know?

I'm still here! I just...kind of,,, wandered off. Yes I know, don't wander off. But I'm here now! Yeah. Sorry.

Oh, okay. Pick a spot in the order, and Vyolette can start with the yarn.

I honestly don't care. I can go anywhere.

Next to Kyoto, then, maybe behind Vyolette?

Sounds good. So, lets go?

Sure. Hey, Vyolette, hand me some of that yarn! *helps tie people together*

Onwards! *steps up onto Post-it platforms* *starts pad-hopping over the swamp*

Oh, and keep an eye out for monsters!
