Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
Dropping your backpack to the floor with a shockingly loud thud, you kick off your shoes and groan. What a day! You shudder at the thought at all the homework sitting in your backpack, probably plotting ways to become more difficult…
“Why does everything hate me?!” You cry very dramatically. You flop down on the couch as though one more second standing would have killed you.
Ouch! The sharp edge of something wedged into the couch cushions pokes your rear end. Huffing, you turn and grab it. It’s an envelope… Addressed to you. How curious… You take a closer look. The envelope itself is a handsome olive, but there’s no stamp, address, or return address. Most peculiar. Gently, you unseal the flap and remove two pieces of paper. The first one says:
To whoever’s couch cushion this was wedged in,
You and thirteen others have been detected to have elemental magic. To harness these powers within you and learn how to control this magic, you have been invited to Magicae Palace, a place where magic abounds. There are five elements you and your companions may be taught- fire, water, air, earth, and on that is not truly considered an element but I believe is truly essential- life. You AE(s) and CAPTCHA/CAPTCHAE have been detected to have magic as well, so they are encouraged to come. Vacation will last two weeks. The popcorn is free.
Best wishes,
Your hostess,
Simul Stoicheio (sigh-mull Stee-HE-oh)

Your instinct tells you that this is some kind of scam. Magic? But a voice inside of you knows that going is the right thing to do. How? You don’t know. You can just feel it.

You guessed it- ski lodge!
Spots are open for fourteen CBers and however many companions they may bring. Feel free to guess me.

Pronouns: She/her
Role: CBer
Packing list: A few changes of clothes, toiletries, her diary and sketchbook, drawing materials, a small first-aid kit, a couple of novels.
Which is your favorite: Probably Lord of the Rings or the Hunger Games. Percy Jackson is good but I’ve only read the first three books.
Other: Already the Sticky Note Queen, able to summon and control sticky notes at will. Very excited to see what’s going to happen. Hates sauces and spicy food.
Sea Glass! Nymph! Both of you are coming, I insist!
What?
Why?
Because one of us might have elemental magic! It’s too exciting not to!
This is a ski lodge. Obviously we’re just going to die.
Well yeah, but we’re going to die with magic! More than we have already! And what about the time spent before we die? What if Sea Glass can control water, or I guess also maybe wind, or earth...
I am in possession of minor healing powers. Perhaps this may correspond to life?
Yes! I don’t know what Nymph’s powers could be, but I guess we’ll find out.
Ugh.

Hi Soren!

Oh, hi DK!
Two spots remaining... yeesh, I better write some more...
(November 23, 2018 - 9:43 am)
HA gotcha. But you joined your own ski lodge? Actually, that sounds like something I myself would do, I just sadly am never able to host ski lodges due to lack of computer time/deteriorated writing skills.
(November 23, 2018 - 2:43 pm)
@Leafpool, yeah, I did. XP I even took a guess at myself to look less suspicious.
(November 23, 2018 - 4:30 pm)
I. Love. Ski Lodges!
I've tried to explain them to my friends, but I don't think I do a good job 'cause I get some odd looks. Hee hee.
Name: Marigold
Pronouns: She/her
CBer, AE, CAPTCHA, or CAPTCHAE?: CBer
Packing list: Bright clothing, plenty of accessories, snacks and candy, sketchbook and colored pencils, a teddy bear (I still love stuffed animals), a pocketknife, and some mace.
Which is your favorite: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, or all/a mixture/none/different?: I like all of them except I never really got into Lord of the Rings. Actually my relationship with them is that I enjoy reading them, but then I like to nitpick them apart.
Other: I actually have pretty good aim, but besides that I don't really have any skills. I'm super duper outgoing, but I'm not very charismatic so I think it's probably just annoying.
Name: Caspian Byron
Pronouns: He/him
CBer, AE, CAPTCHA, or CAPTCHAE?: AE
Packing list: Nice, dressy clothing, an instant print camera, and his personal fencing sword.
Which is your favorite: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, or all/a mixture/none/different?: Lord of the Rings
Other: He is romantic in both the love sense of the word and the dreaming sense. He also can procure trinkets such as roses and chocolates.
Name: Wendy
Pronouns: She/her
CBer, AE, CAPTCHA, or CAPTCHAE?: AE
Packing list: A bunch of philosophy, political commentary, and psychology books (especially Jung).
Which is your favorite: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, or all/a mixture/none/different?: None, she doesn't read fiction (except for allagories like Animal Farm).
Other: Her hair, ribbons, and dress float and ripple sort of like being under water mixed with being blown by the wind. She also falls Alice in Wonderland style (slowly and floaty). Wndy also doesn't really care about anyone, she looks at things purly apethectically. That said, she also is rather infatuated by the macabre.
If you'd rather there not be any initial powers, feel free to omit them :3
