Thunderstruck right outsi
Thunderstruck right outside your window and you let out a gasp as you were dragged from your dreams. The rain was pounding on your window, and lighting lit up your room in quick, silver flashes. You reached over and grabbed your water from your bedside...only to find that it was empty. You licked your lips, debating, is it worth it to leave your warm bed for some water? Of course it was.
You padded through the house, your bare feet freezing on the tiled floor of the kitchen. The house was shaking from the force of the wind, picture frames shaking on the wall. Maybe you should seek some safety in the basement? No matter, the storm was already subsiding as you brought your glass to your lips. Cool, freshwater slid down your throat chilling you from the inside out.
And then something happened you’d never suspected. Your doorbell rang, in the middle of the night. During a crazy storm. Sleeping was no longer an option, so you walked to your front door and opened it. Sitting on the doorstep was a package. Curious, you took the package inside.
Sitting in your favorite reading chair, with a pair of scissors in your hand, you opened the package up. Inside, sitting on a pile of clothes, was a message.
Dear Detective,
I am aware that you are retired, but I am hoping that your old outfit will bring you some interest in this case. My opal brooch has been stolen tonight and I hope that you can help figure out who did it. You will be pleased, or upset, to know that you will be having help in this case, as I have messaged the top seven detectives in the world. I know how much you detectives like your "Watsons", so you are able to bring with you ONE AE each. I will offer you a temporary home in my mansion, the Moonless Hunt. Please come soon.
Sincerely yours, Madame Suspectum.
You held up your old outfit and grinned, a case was afoot. You had a feeling that this “Madame Suspectum” had more secrets hidden in her home than a stolen opal.
~~~~~~
Yes, this is a ski lodge. I hope that you will agree to help Madame Suspectum with finding her brooch. Please bring only one of your AEs, the mansion only has room for 7 CBers and one companion for each of them. To ensure that your stay is as comfortable as it can be, please fill out this information sheet.

Once again, thank you,
The Secretary
P.P.S
Any deaths, frights, scares, or loss of personal property is not Madame Suspectum's fault... or mine.

Of course it's OK to not have an AE, we welcome you all the same. The question high or low is whatever you make it out to be, but having no answer is fine as well.
(April 18, 2020 - 11:08 am)
Okay! Thank you! Um...High.
(April 18, 2020 - 11:22 am)
Yesssss! Count me in!
Can I go?
Oh, um, Georgia... Well, we're only allowed to bring one AE each, and I think your skill set isn't necessarily right for this particular...
She means you're too dumb to be a detective, and I'm going instead.
Arrow!
Hmph.
Oh well, here's my sheet:
Name: Majestic Mary (just Mary for short)
Gender: female
Appearance: blonde hair past my shoulders, light blue eyes, oval face, about 5'2". I'll usually wear gray leggings or gray running shorts, depending on the heat, and a pale yellow shirt.
Interests/hobbies: 1. Writing
2. Climbing
3. Reading
4. Playing soccer
5. Playing trumpet
6. Doing origami
7. Being outdoors
8. Using big words
9. Typing (I don't know why but it's fun)
10. Talking
High or low?: Good question. You see, climbing puts you up high, but the fall brings you back down low to safe ground. If you are flying high, defying gravity, great. But there are people back on the ground who miss you and want you to come back. So I don't think I am high, nor am I low. I am right in between.
What the heck are you talking about?
Just fill out the sheet, pinhead.
you're a pinhead.
Name: Arrow
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall and lanky, with swoopy dirty brown hair, which is supposedly very soft. I stick to my black shirts and black pants, with a leather jacket on occasion.
Interests/hobbies: 1. Reading books
2. eating snacks
3. Reading short stories
4. Eating meals
Arrow, all your hobbies can't be eating and reading.
Fine, even though that's all I ever do.
5. researching authors of my favorite books
6. Helping people understand that the world is not all about them (ahemgeorgiaahem)
7. Peacefully sitting outside in perfect weather.
8. Reading
9. Eating
10. Reading and eating at the same time
High or low: I like to keep it on the down low, if that's what you mean.
So, Arrow, the best you could was eating and reading?
That's all I ever do.
Whatever. I love your writing style by the way (The Secretary, not Arrow). Also unrelated, this is my first ski lodge!
(April 18, 2020 - 12:15 pm)
Super quick change! I know no one's gonna really care, but swap out "typing" for "listening to musicals"
(April 28, 2020 - 8:00 pm)
And also, I prefer pie to throw.
(April 18, 2020 - 12:27 pm)
Welcome Majestic Mary and Arrow, I am so glad you decided to join our little party.
I am glad that you like my writing style, that makes me very pleased.
And, it has come to my attention that one of our guests does not have a partner, we now have room for 1 more CBer, although they will have to come alone.
