Sitting on the

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Sitting on the

Sitting on the windowsill, the CBer felt something wrong. Perhaps it was a shift in the breeze, or a change in the light. They sprang up, as alert as a cat, staring into the moonlight. And . . . no, nothing was wrong. But a shadow passed over the moon. There it was! Feathers. Dark blue feathers. It was a nightingale.

The CBer ducked as the phantom nightingale swooped silently into their room. It came to a rest on the bedpost, and faded away, as if a spectre. The CBer cautiously moved to the spot where the nightingale had been. There was an envelope. The CBer let out a small gasp.

The seal of the envelope was stamped with the crest of a raccoon. It couldn't have been any more extraordinary than any other envelope, but the crest glowed. The CBer slowly opened the envelope.

Dear Night-roamer,

The Nocturnal Express has been going very well. I'd like to invite you to a stay. You may bring twelve friends. Forward this envelope to them, and please inform them that they may bring pets or alter egoes. Make sure to warn them of the dangers. And tell them to bring luggage.

Sincerely, The Director

Fill out the following. You have no choice. You are one of the twelve I chose.

The CBer keeled over in shock. What was this all about?

Pretty self explanatory, this is a ski lodge, and you have to fill out the form in order to join. I'll only accept twelve people.

Aw, darn it, I was going to join... Eh, it might've died anyway. All the ski lodges I've tried to join before have. Maybe I'm cursed. No, past performance is not a predictor of future results. Still, I would've liked to...

No, you can still join! The Director says that only half the slots are taken.

Okay, here are our sheets:

Name: Vyolette, said as Vee-o-LET

Age: Let's say I look like I'm 15

Appearance: Tall, with collor-bone length coppery hair that has layers and side bangs. Electric-green eyes, likes wearing washed-out capris with a purple high-low style top that has 3/4 length sleeves. I almost always have on my lace-up hiking boots and stud earrings in the shape of musical notes. I also have a pair of knitting needles stashed away in my back pocket. They are retractable, like a telescope, so they can fit in small places nicely. 

Personality: Definatly shy and introverted when I first show up or go somplace new, but after late nights spent talking with people, I think I surprise both them and I how much I can be extroverted if I want myself to be. I'm also VERY sarcastic, and will ALWAYS win an argument if either I or someone else starts one. I am a peace-maker, too, but the fact that I can drag great points out of thin air is why I always win arguments. 

Luggage: Knitting needles (duh), along with yarn and patterns and such packed in a purple tote, pillow, fluffy blanket, large supply of milk chocolate, hair brush, camera, high-powered flashlight, (Along with a pen light if I'm reading late at night or something) duffle bag full of clothes, and a journal and many multi-colored gel pens. Oh yeah, and I'm taking Blaiyre with me, too:

 

Name: Blaiyre (which rhymes with glare) Förändra

Age: looks to be 17 or 18

Appearance: About meduim height, with bobbed, curly red-orange hair. She likes wearing ripped jeans, a loose grey sweater and flats. She has hazel eyes, which are very wide, and olive-tan skin. 

Personality: Kinda blunt, maybe rude at times and standoff-ish. She doesn't like talking unless she has to to people she has never met before, but can be amiable with those she has, like Trevor or....Trevor. She hasn't made very many friends yet, to say the least. 

Luggage: One of those art kits with all the crayons and paints and markers and stuff, along with a pillow, blanket, change of clothes and her camera (which is much more high-tech than mine).

Name: Viola?

Age: Secreteen

Appearance: Tall and slim, with long hair and nails. Prefers jeans and T-shirts, grays and jewel tones, layers and sneakers. Wears a variety of different pendants since her crystal one broke.

Personality: Overdramatic, bubbly with friends, regal when with acquaintances and strangers, detached and quiet when out of her social depth. Catlike, speaks as much with body language and tone as words. Slightly creepy, takes a bright view of things.

Luggage: Several changes of clothes, including pajamas, toiletries, a few books (let's see, I have to read Heir to the Sky, the Grimoires history, the world history, and that should be enough), her sketchbook, diary and notebook, lots of pens and a few pencils, a tape recorder and a flashlight. Also, popcorn in case the popcorn isn't free, a few bay leaves and a marker for the bay leaf spell, a silver alloy dagger,  and a small first-aid kit.

 

Nymph, Sea Glass, do you want to come? Please, please come.

*reads* Sure.

I suppose so...

Yes! Okay.

 

Name: Nymph

Age: Unknown

Appearance: Shapeshifter (possibly unlimited? Usually doesn't have more than one body, though)

Personality: Snarky and lofty, competitive and impulsive. Extremely self-reliant, never asks for help, expects herself to be able to do pretty much whatever she needs to, and sometimes gets in over her head that way. 

Luggage: A couple changes of clothes

 

Name: Sea Glass 

Age: Fluctuating, usually around the late teens

Appearance: Androgynous, long sandy hair that's usually a mess, summer clothes and a pile of bracelets. Sea-colored eyes often cast down or wide open.

Personality: Quiet, too polite for their own good. Sweet and awkward, a bit of a shy cinnamon roll. Terrible liar, a nagging conscience, thinks long enough before she speaks that not everyone realizes she's going to answer

Luggage: Some changes of clothes, toiletries, a copy of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, a clear/white quartz crystal

What I meant to say was that 12 CBers could join, and each had an unlimited amount of companions. So, four spaces for CBers left.

Heya, so, i'm just asking if you wouldn't mind using gender neutral pronouns for me in this. [they/them]. if necessary, she/her will work too, but i prefer they/them.

i hope that's alright. If you'd rather not, than that's ok too. 

submitted by Nighthawk @Director, age -14, idk man
(March 16, 2018 - 5:46 pm)

Ok! I'll be referring to the murderer as "they/them" though . . .

(March 17, 2018 - 9:34 am)

I mean, if you think it wouldn't work quite well to use they/them for me, that's alright.

No, it's fine. I'm just saying so you don't confuzzle yourself with the murder.
