Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

It is a dark and stormy night. You sit by your window, watching the raindrops roll down the smooth, dark glass. A flash of lightning illuminates the old-fashioned analog clock that rests on the table beside you- 12:00 am, on the dot.

A clap of thunder splits the sky, seeming to shake your entire house. You squint into the night, trying to make out something- anything- in the total, all-consuming blackness.

Then, you look back at the windowsill, to find something pressed against the outside of the glass that hadn't been there a split second before.

It seems to be a roll of paper.

Curiosity getting the better of you, you open the window, wincing at the cold and at the sheets of rain cutting into your bare arm like a knife. You carefully pull the scroll from where it is flapping in the breeze. The paper is mysteriously dry.

Another flash of lightning illuminates the room. The scroll in your hand seems to be made of thick, old parchment, tied with a velvety red ribbon. You untie the knot in the ribbon and unroll the paper. It bears this message.

Greetings,

You have been selected to audition for the 292nd season of the highly exclusive Citadel Theatre. This season's musical will be Les Misérables. Auditions will be held on Wednesday, the 20th May, on the theatre's premises. If you wish to accept our invitation, RSVP as soon as possible. We shall arrange for your transportation to the audition.

With deepest regards,

The Director

You roll up the paper, utterly perplexed. The Citadel Theatre is legendary.

Of course you will be attending.

Hello everybody! As you have probably already guessed, this is a ski lodge. (If you are a newer CBer who doesn't know what a ski lodge is, it's a solo write that takes place in a special location and uses CBers and AEs as the characters. But there's a twist- every day, someone is killed, like a murder mystery, and it's up to the rest of the characters to solve it.) I'm super excited to be writing this!

Before you fill out your character sheets, here are a few quick rules.

1. This is not an RP. This is a solo write, in which I will be doing all of the writing myself. You are more than welcome to give constructive criticism or comment on my writing, but please do not advance the plot.

2. You may bring up to three (3) AEs, but ONLY if you fill out a character sheet for each of them.

3. If you do not fill out a character sheet, you will not be a part of the story. 

4. No CAPTCHAs are permitted.  

5. Character sheets are due before Wednesday, May 20th! 

5. I will try to write as often as I can- please be patient :) 

6. If you want to, you can try to guess my identity! 

Here is the character sheet:
