You run up the ladder into your treehouse, extremely glad it's summer. You crawl over to the stack of books in the corner and pick up the one on top. You see a piece of paper sticking out of it. You read:
Dear unknown child/tween/teen:
You are hereby invited to stay at my new luxury hotel, entitled Relaxation Suites! You all will be the first to visit. All rooms comprise of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a small kitchen, and a deck with a spectacular view of the beach! There are several attractions inside the hotel, including: rooftop pool, trampoline park, indoor amusement park, giant ball pit, library, and much, much more! There is also a boardwalk out to the ocean. You are welcome to swim, as long as a staff member is watching. All meals will be served buffet- style, and desserts will be served after lunch and dinner. Vacation will last two weeks. I will expect you and your companion(s) in three days. Everything is free. You are welcome to pack your devices, weapons, and your own food. No pets, please.
Hoping to see you soon,
The Inn Keeper

So! Be free to guess me, I will tell you when all the slots are full, and the 'no pets' rule doesn't apply if one if your companions isn't human. Have fun, despite the mur-*coughcoughcough* I said nothing!

This sounds fun--especially that indoor amusement park!
Role(CBer, AE, ect.): CBer
Name: Icy
Gender: Female
Personality: She tries to be friendly, but is all too wary of her own awkwardness. She is intelligent (except when it comes to math and anything social), and loves solving mysteries. She usually tries to do things as hard as she can, but gets upset easily when she fails. She acts occasionally shy, but usually friendly and happy when she knows someone better.
Favorite color: Light blue! (/aqua)
Packing list: Three notebooks, two pencils, one pencil sharpener, clothing, two journals, one pen, and one dreaded mechanical pencil.
Other: She has ice mage magic, but as it requires a lot of practice, she's not the best at using it yet.
I'll be bringing Thirty, my AE, if that's okay?
Role(CBer, AE, ect.): AE
Name: Narrator Thirty-three (Though she goes by Thirty)
Gender: Female
Personality: Acts very neutral, generally very wise (though lacking in wisdom when it comes to emotional matters), slightly cold when talking to others, only shows hints of emotion when narrating. She works hard to keep her emotionless behavior, but really depends on having an audience and will sulk when things don't go her way.
Favorite color: White.
Packing list: Three scripts, a copy of Grimm's Fairy tales, two fairy tale books, clothes, a bland makeup pallete.
Other: She has a constant habit of narrating what is around her. She is usually seen carrying a book or script and reading from it.

Role: CBer
Name: Viola?
Gender: Female
Personality: Fundamentally catlike. Curious, excitable, adores elegance and desires respect but enjoys acting silly. Determined, methodical and realistic when she gets down to something, looking for multiple angles and selecting the strategically best. Always has an eye out for pretty little odds and ends (physical and metaphysical), weird connections to make and every possible chance to say something clever or funny. Dramatic, creepy, thinks things through. Always looks for the best in a situation. Can have a hard time communicating and/or appearing serious. Enjoys being in charge and everyone (including her) knowing what's going on.
Favorite color: I will go crazy if I think too hard about this, so I'll just say green. I always think of purple things as mine, though.
Packing list: A few changes of clothes, toiletries, some food, a small medical kit, a camera, a flashlight and spare batteries, several books, a sketchbook, her diary, pens, pencils and colored pencils, a silver alloy dagger, a bow and arrows, and a few bags to carry all the shells, rocks and sea glass she's inevitably going to collect.
Other: The Sticky Note Queen. Can summon and control sticky notes at will.
Nymph, Sea Glass, do you want to come?
Eh.
If you wish.
Okay!
Role: AE

Personality: Quiet, polite, extremely socially awkward. Introverted and antisocial, yet achingly lonely. A dreamer. Formal, sensitive, shy, obsessive. Avoidant, but agonizes over it. Nervous, sad. Won't do things xe disagrees with, but won't speak out against them. Rarely smiles. Quick to please.
Favorite color: Pale blue, not too bright.
Packing list: A book or two, a few changes of clothes, toiletries, a journal and pen. Extra bracelets.
Other: Attracted like a magnet to small, interesting things xe finds on the ground.

Alright, today is the first day of vacation, and all we're doing is driving. I'm hoping for more people, but if no one else joins, fine. Anyways, I have the intro to the ski lodge written down and it doesn't mention anybody specifically, so here it is!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The guests walked to the hotel, shleping their luggage and CAPTCHAs alike, the AEs running around like hooligans, giddy with excitement. The Inn Keeper met them near the door. He was tall, with curly black hair and a good-natured look about him. His dark eyes flashed when he saw the small hoard of CBers. He grinned and stretched his arms wide.
"Welcome," he boomed,"to Relaxation Beach Suites! I am the Inn Keeper, but you can call me Nick. Come!"
The group entered. There were several gasps of astonishment. They had walked into a bright, modern, incredibly vast sitting room, adorned with a large crystal chandelier. It was filled with cozy-looking sofas and abstract paintings. To the left was the check-in desk, and on the right were tables, evidently to hold their buffet-style meals.
Nick directed the group to the elevators, then handed each CBer a key card to their room and a map of what attractions were on what floor. (There were ten total.) The group split into different elevators, which were large marble machines, and trickled out to their own rooms.

Question: Are all Ski Lodges murder related? Do they have to be?
(July 6, 2018 - 9:48 pm)
Yeah.... What about near death.... or 1-5 people acutally die?
(July 7, 2018 - 6:30 am)
Yes. A ski lodge is a murder mystery- that's their whole point. (Levana says pook. Hey, stop poking me!)
(July 7, 2018 - 8:55 am)
As said by an earlier CBer, a Ski Lodge really is just a murder mystery.
They're all called 'Ski Lodges' because the first actually took place at a Ski Lodge. While they certainly don't all take place at a Ski Lodge anymore, they always (or almost always, in some of these cases) include:
-The CBers being invited somewhere by the writer (who often double doubles as the host in the story) of the Ski Lodge.
-The CBers going on a vacation
-CBers slowly dying, post by post, as tension builds and the readers wonder who the murderer is.
-A lot of murder.
Sorry for going crazy with the explanation--I absolutely love to explain things and elaborate. I hope you don't find this annoying.
